Full Story About Statistics
Explained By Institute Head
Say “statistics” to the average
Texan and he probably thinks of
a cartoon showing 1 two men look
ing at a sales graph.
The full story though is that
statistics touch the daily life of
virtually every Texan, Dr. H. O.
Hartley, director of the Graduate
Institute of Statistics, said. The
internationally-known statistician
arrived this summer to assume
directorship of the Institute.
The Institute faculty does teach
ing, research and consultation. The
graduate program leads to the M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees in statistics, the
strong research program in statis
tics is in part sponsored by federal
agencies, and Institute members
render a campus-wide consulting
service in statistical methods.
THE EXPRESSWAYS urban
dwellers use, the crops or cattle
raised in the country and count
less manufactured products depend
to a varying degree upon statistical
studies.
Hartley cites the space effort,
biology and medicine, and eco
nomics as other fields in which
statisticians cooperate with subject
matter area scientists.
“The statistician today,” he said,
“helps design experiments, inter
prets the data, and sets forth the
results so as to make it easier to
reach reasonable decisions for
actions.”
The A&M professor offers as one
definition of statistics: “It is the
science of trying to make sense out
of variable answers.”
Researchers in virtually all fields
face the problem of variables in
their experiments.
THE RESEARCHERS also have
the problem of gaining the most
information possible from available
resources. An example, from con
sulting work now being done by
the Institute staff, concems proper-
size and shape for agricultural test
plots to yield *the most accurate
and complete information possible
at least cost.
A&M long has offered statistics
through various departments. Stu
dents in the agricultural and bio
logical sciences, business, educa-

tion and engineering are among
those who have studied statistics.
The Institute, which is beginning
the first year of complete opera
tions, brings together these studies,
offers new courses and also has
launched the program of research.
“This is the first in Texas inso
far as a rounded, comprehensive
group is concerned,” Hartley said
of the Institute.
Dr. R. J. Freund, associate direc
tor of the Institute, is completing
his first year on the campus.
Other members of the faculty in
clude Dr. R. R. Hocking*, Eugene
Dayhoff and Dr. J. D. Williams,

AT 1ST HORSE SHOW
3 County Youths
Net Twelve Points
THE BATTALION
Thursday, August 29, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 3
Brazos County 4-H club mem
bers amassed 12 points for their
county during the first annual
State 4-H Horse Show held here
last week.
First Doctorates 1
In I.Ed. Conferred
By A&M Thursday
Two young men Thursday be
came the first persons to receive
the Doctor of Education degree in
industrial education at A&M.
They are Wendell Lilburn Roy,
a native of Millsap, Texas and Clif
ford Eugent Strandberg, a native
of Hutchinson, Kan. Roy taught at
North Texas State University be
fore coming to A&M to commence
his doctoral program, and Strand
berg taught industrial arts at the
Turner, Kan., high school before
coming here.
The diplomas dated Thursday
will in time be mailed, as A&M
does not hold commencement exer
cises in August.
Approximately 430 candidates
for degrees were listed earlier by
the registrar’s office.
The doctoral program in indus
trial education was begun at A&M
in September, 1961, following ap
proval by the Texas Commission on
Higher Education.
“We are the only institution in
the South to have this doctoral
degree in industrial education and
the second west of the Mississippi
River,” Dr. Chris H. Groneman,
head of the department, said
Thursday.
The points were earned by three
young county horsemen in three of
the show’s fifteen events.
James Butler of College Station
won first plane in the halter class
for registered mares under three
yeai-s old. His mare Chanza Linda,
won over nine other horses in the
class to earn six noints for Brazos
County in the show.
JAMES IS the son of Dr. O. D.
Butler, head of the Department of
Animal Husbandry.
In the class for grade mares
under 14 hands, Robert Olden of
Rt. 3, Bryan, showed the third
place mare. The effort was worth
four points toward the country
competition.
Bob Franke of College Station
took fifth place in the class for
registered geldings under three
yoars old. In the same class James
Brown from nearby Washington
County won first place with his
mare Royal Sandy.
In other competition Harkrock
Candy, shown by George Chappell
of Kaufman County, was named
the champion horse of the show by
winning 17 points in four classes.
The champion showman in the
show was Paul Horn of Fort Bend
Country.
THE SHOW HOSTED 212 con
testants from 39 Texas counties.
Officials said each horse entered
an average of five classes.
The 4-H competition was held
at the same time as A&M’s third
annual Horse Short Course, held
Thursday through Saturday. The
short course was sponsored by the
Department of Animal Husbandry
and the College of Vet. Medicine.
Wins First Place
James Butler, son of Dr. O. D. Butler, head of the Depart
ment of Animal Husbandry, took first place in the class
for registered mares under three years old at the last week
4-H hor$e show. The mare, Chanza Linda, was one of three
Brazos County entries to earn points in the show.
Physics To Offer History,
Philosophy Course In Fall
The Department of Physics will
offer a course in History and Phi
losophy of Physical Science for the
first time this fall.
According to a department
spokesman the course compares
the development of astronomy,
physics, chemistry, technology and
sc^pntific philosophy from Baby
lon to the atomic age. The infor
mation is to be presented through
detailed biographical sketches
wherever possible.
The spokesman said the method
of presentation was chosen as the
best way to meet the three objec
tives of the course:
1. To give the prospective scien
tist a basis for deciding to enter
the scientific profession.
2. To teach scientific method,
not as a system of logic, but as
the art which has given us such
explosive progress.
3. To stimulate the interest,
curiosity and determination of the
student.
The course, designated Physics
327, is tentatively to be offered
Monday at 4 p.m. and Tuesday and
Thursday at 11 a.m. Students who
have completed Physical 220 will
be eligible to attend.
