THE Thursday, November 21, 1963 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 3 NATIONAL CHARTER House presents charter to student president. Management Group Gets SAM Charter BY RAY HARRIS Special Writer The A&M University Manage ment Society was formally initi ated into the national organization of the Society for Advancement of Management Tuesday night at an installation meeting in the Archi tecture Building. W. C. House, assistant profes sor of business administration and co-sponsor of the university or ganization, presented the national charter to student president Allen S. Lawrence. Abbreviated “SAM,” the nation al management organization has as its immediate objectives: 1. To bring together executives in business and students preparing to go into business; 2. To serve as an effective me dium for the exchange and distri bution of information on the prob lems, policies and methods of man agement and industry; 3. To provide students with the opportunity to participate in the, organizing, planning, directing and controlling of the activities of an organization dedicated to the pro motion and advancement of the art and science of management. Originally the Taylor Society, SAM is now in its 50th year of existence. Other student officers for the Blair House, the 32-room guest mansion across the street from the White House, has bullet-proof windows and doors which open only from the inside. A&M chapter are Jerry Felder, vice-president; John Kreymer, sec retary-treasurer, and Rufus Lyne, program chairman. R. L. Elkins, associate professor of business ad ministration, is the other faculty sponsor. “Anyone is welcome to join the club, but applications for member ship must be submitted by Dec. 1,” said Lawrence. At the installation, C. C. Monroe, University Personnel Director, spoke on management leadership responsibilities. A&M Personnel Set Freeway Study Later this month some highway- research engineers from A&M Uni versity will make camp along a six-mile stretch of Houston’s Gulf Freeway to begin a study designed to make driving on the facility simple, safe and more efficient. The engineers will utilize the latest techniques — television, computers, photography and other electronic equipment — in perhaps the most extensive freeway traffic study ever undertaken in the Unit ed States. Personnel doing the research are members of the Texas Transporta tion Institute’s Highway Design and Traffic Engineering Depart ment, headed by Charles Pinnell, who will also serve as project di rector. Other participants include Tex as Highway Department engineers in District 12 and City of Houston personnel. Project sponsors are the state highway department, the United States Bureau of Public Roads and the city of Houston. The initial phase of the project will involve a study of current traffic patterns, traffic volume and other questions regarding the motorist and his use of the free way. “Some changes will be made during the first year,” Pinnell said, “to improve existing facilities for smoother traffic flow under both normal and emergency conditions.” At the outset also, the engineers will develop necessary signal con trols for improved operation and will observe the motorists’ reac tion to these changes. As part of the basic research program, television cameras will be erected along the freeway for a simultaneous, over-all look at the motorists. Closed circuit tele vision was used earlier in freeway studies conducted in Detroit. Fourteen cameras were used over 3.2 miles of concrete in De troit, and Pinnell said more than twice as many may be installed along Houston’s freeway. 20*7° DISCOUNT jUKM * Off Our Regular Prices TO: A&M STUDENTS—STAFF—EMPLOYEES The Finest In . . . * Laundering * Cleaning To Obtain Discount You Must Present This Card With Your Clothing and/ or Linens. ...
