Woman Peace Corps Worker
Shocked By TTFs Bulletin
A Peace Corps worker in Ecua
dor is wondering how the Texas
Transportation Institute knew she
needed information on earthen
home construction.
Miss Ann R. McCarthy, a native
of Massachusetts, received the 36-
page bulletin on earth houses last
week. She airmailed a letter back
to Texas asking:
“How did you know I was with
the Peace Corps in Cuenca, Ecua
dor? How did you know I needed
such information?”
Actually, the girl’s mother read
about the booklet and asked the
TTI office to send her daughter
the brochure, according to Louis
J. Horn, information representa
tive with the Texas Engineering
Experiment Station.
Such requests are common, re
ports Horn. Letters regarding the
ations
same publication have come from
such places as Africa, Brazil, Col
ombia, Philippine Islands, Bolivia,
Jamaica, Somali Republic and num
erous spots in the United States.
Regarding the booklet, Miss Mc
Carthy said the 16 Peace Coi'ps
engineers in Ecuador “had no in
formation of this type except the
textbooks used in college.”
“I’m from Massachusetts and
studied there. So my information
on construction, strength, etc., of
materials used here is very little.
Earthquakes and tremors are new
to me,” she added.
T'he brochure explains in step-
by-step fashion how to construct
earth homes.

Allen Military Academy Extends Time
For Registration Of Co-Ed Students
Co-eds will be permitted to register for spring semester
classes at Allen Military Academy through Monday, Feb. 11,
according to H. Brownlee, vice president of academic affairs.
Classes for the semester got underway Tuesday. Brown
lee said that the co-ed registration date has been extended
especially for the benefit of Aggie wives who might wish to
enroll in spring classes.
Brownlee said additional information concerning the
school and its courses of study may be obtained from the
office of Dean Bernard Massie.
Studies in liberal arts in the junior college division are
offered at the school, Brownlee pointed out.
Ag Team To Attend
Dakota Range Meet
A&M will be represented by its
range plant identification team and
six student delegates at the annual
American Society of Range Man
agement meeting Feb. 12-15 in
Rapid City, S.D.
Team members are Bill Roberts
of Lockhart, Farris Nixon of El
dorado, Floyd Waller of Mason
and Dwain Liles of San Antonio.
The six delegates are Herschel
McDonald, Mike Macke and Gary
Spence of San Antonio, Ernest Ni-
mitz of Eldorado,* Kenneth Sparks
of Gunter and Doyce Cooke of Lov
ing, N.M.
Dr. Don Huss, team coach and
assistant professor in the Depart
ment of Range and Forestry, said
the plant identification group will
compete against about 12 teams re
presenting other major agricultur
al schools.
He said the students will be re
quired to identify 100 range speci
mens, give the scientific names of
each, know the grazing value and
tell if the plants are native or in
troduced, perennials or annuals.
The team and delegates will leave
here Friday and return on Feb.
16.
System Personnel
Attend Conference
Thirteen A&M agricultural sci
entists will participate in the 10 th
annual agricultural chemicals con
ference Feb. 12-14 at Texas Tech
College.
College animal husbandmen are
in the middle of an experiment to
demonstrate the importance be
tween milk production and com
position and weaning weight of
beef calves.
So far, overall results show what
the researchers have known all
along. That is, a cow must be a
good milker to produce a quick
growing calf.
More specifically, if a cattleman
wants a 400-pound calf in seven
months, the cow should come up
with seven and a half pounds of
milk per day or more.
J. K. Riggs, who is supervising
the project, says about 400 head
of European breed beef cows and
European-Brahman crosses are be
ing used in the tests.
Riggs and two graduate assist
ants, Hollis Klett and T. R. Mason,
have found that the cross breeds
are better milk bakers than the
straight breeds. The comparison
is an average of 8.68 pounds for
the crosses to 4.14 pounds for the
straight breeds in morning milk
ings in the sixth month of lacta
tion.
Straight breeds involved are
Hereford, Angus, a few Short
horns, Brahmans and Santa Gert-
rudis.
Figures for the 400 head as a
group are milk production ranges
from 1.5 pounds to 18 pounds per
day for individuals. Butterfats
varied widely — 2 to 8 per cent.
Solids-not-fat were more stable at
8 to 10 per cent.
Riggs says they also have found
that as a cow grows older, her
milk production tends to increase.
NSF Awards
Large Grant
A&M has received a grant of
$11,285 from the National Science
Foundation for a program in geol
ogy, President Earl Rudder an
nounces.
Fred E. Smith, professor in the
Department of Geology and Geo
physics, will direct the “high abil
ity high school” program.
The study is open to 36 boys
who will be high school seniors
next fall. Smith will provide ap
plication forms on request. High
school records and special tests
will figure in the selection of the
geology students.
The program includes two field
trips. Studies will be conducted in
the Central Mineral Region of
Texas and the Arbuckle Mountains
in Oklahoma.
