THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, January 31, 1963
Two Join Staff Of TAES,
Two Others Leave Positions
Two newcomers will join the
staff of the Texas Agricultural Ex
tension Service and two others will
leave for other posts effective Fri
day.
Joining the staff are Charles O.
Hardy, an accountant, and John G.
Thomas, an entomologist. Leaving
are Edwin H. Cooper, a wildlife
conservation specialist, and John
H. Jones, a livestock specialist.
Hardy will replace W. B. Lan
caster, who recently joined the
Memorial Student Center staff.
He has been a field auditor for
the Engineering Extension Serv-
ive since November, 1959, and will

thus work with field units of the
experiment station.
Thomas, a former area entomolo
gist at Lubbock, is being transfer
red here as an associate entomo
logist with the head quarters staff.
He had served in Lubbock since
June, 1960, and moves into the
new post left vacant by the resign
ation of C. F. Garner.
Brainpower Called Critical
In Enlarging U.S. 9 s Wealth
Cooper resigned to become affili
ated with a commei’cial concern in
Jacksonville. A native of San
Marcos, he had been with the ex
tension service since 1955.
Jones is leaving soon with his
wife for Bogata, Columbia, to join
the Rockefeller Foundation and the
Colombian Agricultural Program
for a one-year appointment. He
first joined the experiment station
and Extension services in 1923 and
has been with TAES continuously
since 1930.
Brainpower was defined here
Tuesday morning as “the critical
ingredient in the ehlargement of
national wealth.”
Speaking to the 40 men from
seven states attending the annual
executive development course on
campus was Dr. L. V. Berkner,
president of the Graduate Research
Center of the Southwest in Dallas.
The industrialization of agricul
ture anr the “sudden urbanization
of our whole nation” also were cit
ed by Berkner as other great forces
bearing upon the contemporary
situation.
He placed special emphasis on
“Science and the World of Tomor
row,” stressing the need to pro
duce many more Ph.D. degree hold
ers in the Southwest.
“THIS STATE needs four or five
graduate schools of the size of
Harvard or MIT to serve its 10
million citizens,” Berkner declared.
He portrayed men with doctoral
degrees as commanders of the
frontiers of knowledge, grasping
ideas abstruse and highly mathe
matical in nature.
“For each Ph.D. with creative
abilities we can employ five or 10
engineers, and for each engineer
we can use 100 skilled and unskill
ed workers,” Berkner said.
The executive coui-se, which is
planned to sharpen managerial
skills and qualify participants for
additional responsibilities, continues
through Feb. 15.
Berkner was introduced by E. B.
Germany, chairman of the board
of Lone Star Steel Co., Dallas.
THE NEW industrial, technolo
gical revolution has arisen from
scientific development made earl
ier in this century, Berkner said.
“We learned during World War
II that consistent application of
this new science could revolutionize
any technology to which it was
applied,” the distinguished scient
ist said.
Men with advanced degrees were
described as essential to capture
and control the potential of the
new technology, to create new in
dustry from it and to direct it for
society’s benefit.
Berkner cited statistics show
ing Texas’ low rank in producing
doctoral degrees.
“This is why Gov. Connally spent
half of his inaugural address talk
ing about graduate education,”
Berkner told the executives.
The failure of great new grad
uate schools to emerge across the
nation in the last 20 years also
was cited. Factors considered in
developing such schools include the
attitudes and orientation of stu
dents, faculty and the universities,
money and the need for additional
teachers.

FOR THEIR FILES
Exes Make Use
Of Magic Tape
(
Aggies exes are preparing to
pioneer a new solution to an old
problem through the use of a space
age marvel.
Data Processing Center per
sonnel will code reels of magnetic
tape with a wealth of personal
information on each of some 40,000
former students. Electronic com
puter units then can retrieve or
pull out information for the reels
of tape and write it at the rate of
15,000 characters a second.
The Association of Former Stu
dents will be the first in the nation
to maintain its complete records
system on magnetic tape. Project
completion is expected in a yeai*.
ALL FORMER students are
asked to cooperate by completing
and returning special biographical
forms being mailed this week.
The association, through an
agreement with the Data Process
ing Center, is setting up the new
system. A&M graduates have
planned the program from start to
finish.
Robert L. Smith Jr., a 1952
graduate, heads the Data Process
ing Center and has won wide
recognition for his work. Douglas
B. Yauger has done much of the
detailed work in planning the
records system. He received his
undergraduate degree here, and
later this year is expected to re
ceive the first Master of Science in
computer science degree granted by
the college.
ASSOCIATION Secretary J. B.
(Dick) Hervey, International Busi
ness Machines Corp. representative
Charles R. (Dick) Crews of Hous
ton and Richard Weirus of the
association staff are others closely
associated with the project.
The new records system has im
portant research and teaching
aspects. It is among the largest
records system ever converted to
magnetic tape in a university.
The tape is the same as the type
used in recording machines, and
the reels resemble a long-playing-
record except that they are thicker.
I£
A strip of tape not quite twoMy
long will be the “file” conti
complete biographical informatifj ^
on each Aggie. igw
CODING OF the tape will beji B
when the biographical forms r ■
returned by the former studeili
m
Six reels of tape likely will
needed.
“I’ve tried to design a recoil
system to meet future needs,:
flexible system suitable for yaiX
to come,” Yauger said. ChaupBF
over the years will keep the liifik
graphical information current. Ir
The task of converting to ii
new system is lengthy but *<
worth the effort, Hervey sai
Within a matter of minutes, i
formation can be retrieved froi
tape, while obtaining the samei
formation from conventional ftfl
would require the month-lot
efforts of three clerks.
