Robert L. Boone, director of the A&M University Singing Cadets, and Mrs. B. J. Clack, a self-taught folk singer from Bryan, will be the guest performers. Tea will be served at 2:45 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center NSF Gives Grant To A&M Research The National Science Founda tion has granted $80,000 to the A&M University Research Foun dation to support studies on “Me teorological Research Through Electronic Simulation.” The grant covers a two-year pe riod. Dr. William Clayton, associ ate professor in the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology, will direct the research project. Meteorological research by elec tronic simulation involves use of analog computers instead of digi tal computers. Ballroom. Hostesses for the day will be wives of faculty members in the departments of agricultural engineering - and chemical engineer ing. Mrs. Garland Bayliss, president of the group, has extended a spe cial invitation to all newcomers in the A&M System to come as guests of the Social Club. Those eligible for membership include local women who are members of families of present or former (in cluding retired and deceased) em ployees of the A&M System, local women who are employees of the System and wives of local minis ters and YMCA workers. Besides Mrs. Bayliss, officers for 1963-64 are: general chairman, Mrs. Ernest T. Smerdon; vice president, Mrs. Paul Hensarling; secretary, Mrs. Joe S. Ham; treas urer, Mrs. Fred Brison; parlia mentarian, Mrs. W. E. Eckles; and publicity, Mrs. James D. Smith.

M. They are Dr. L. C, Grumbles, Dr. Ted Franklin and Dr. R. W. Moore, all of the Department of Veterinary Microbiology. Franklin, who leads the anaplas- mosis research project at A&M, is a member of the association’s na tional committee on anaplasmosis. He said a wide variety of major livestock disease and control pro grams are discussed at the session. The association was formed in 1897 in Fort Worth, largely as an outgrowth of the Texas fever tick control program led by Dr. Mark Francis of A&M. lie cam- ad been spirited iro and id been .dilates, ict with Young ing the ils had hands, lers, he h great I suaded j c, how- | Robert I ir, who I top of I under- nnpire school during tli the s cam- 1 been Unites, owing ■0 and young march uoned > Jaw. v con- >f the PROTECT YOUR AGGIELAND!

THE BATTALION Wednesday, September 25, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 3 ATOMIC ENERGY STUDY Extension Service Gets Radiographers Training Job A training program to prepare industrial radiographers for in dustry is under study by the A&M University Engineering Ex tension Service. , * A special grant has been awarded by the Vocational and Technical Division of the U. S. Office of Health, Education and Welfare to develop a curriculum for industrial radiology schools. A nationwide advisory com mittee, representing men from industry and state and federal agencies, held- its initial meeting in Houston Tuesday. Frank J. Konecny, an Engi neering Extension Service execu tive assistant, saic| the advisory group discussed subject matter to be included in the program to train industrial radiographers. The committee also outlined duties graduates may be expect ed to perform, Konecny added. “Once the curriculum is ap proved,” he said, “the next logi cal step would be the establish ment of schools, including one at A&M.” Commenting on the program, Konecny said laymen are gen erally acquainted with hazards of radiation, but few are aware of its peaceful uses in industry. “Radioisotopes have provided some of the most important peaceful benefits of atomic ener gy,” Konecny said. “Such tech niques permit manufacturers to produce products more easily, quickly and cheaply.” A beam of radiation emitted from a radioisotope often pro vides information about material previously impossible, he said. Other benefits range from dollar savings and improved products to prevention of accidents through detection of faulty construction. Eugene F. Kornenberg o f Houston, who has several years experience in industrial applica tion of radioactivity materials, will help prepare the course ma terial. His previous assignments have included inspection work on atom ic submarines, g-amma-ray in spection of a 630 mile pipeline in Alaska and consultant type Graduate Dean Has Fellowship Info [Information about the Social Science Research Council’s fel lowships and other appointments now are available at the office of Wayne C.

The appointments generally are for mature scholars in the social sciences or for graduate students who have fulfilled all requirements except the disser tation for the Ph.D. degree. The application deadline f o r most programs is Dec. 1. work for numerous firms. Kornenberg developed a meth od of well-head inspection for in ternal erosion and corrosion of flowing wells. Licensed by AEG, he has trained company personnel in safe handling and use of radioactive materials and has assisted in pro duction of radiation safety films. Konecny, Kronenberg and H. D. Bearden, Engineering Exten sion Service director, are among the members of the advisory committee. Others include A. G. Barkow of Chicago, a Natural Gas Pipe line Company of America offi cial; D. E.
