Sperry, biology pro fessor at A&M University, has been named by one of his former summer high school program stu dents as the “one person who has been most influential in the devel opment of my career.” The student is Nathan Gerald Isgur, 16, of 1309 Avenue J in South Houston. Isgur attended A&M last sum mer on a National Science Foun dation program for exceptional ability high school students. He has since been selected to the Hon ors group in the 23rd annual Science Talent Search for the Westinghouse Science Scholarships and Awards for 1964. WHILE AT A&M, Isgur studied under Sperry, Dr. Fred A. Gardner of the Poultry Science Department and Dr. W. V. Robertson, Depart ment of Biological Sciences. Isgur’s work at A&M led to the research paper, “Bacterial Identifi cation Through Characteristic Electrophoretic Patterns,” which won his election to the Honors Group. “Nathan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses A. Isgur, is a remark ably talented young man, and we hope he decides to come back to A&M,” Sperry said. HE SAID THE STUDENT, in addition to particiapting in many student and community activities, was in the upper 1 per cent of his class last year. The annual Science Talent Search is administered by Science Service through the Science Clubs of America. The Search is financed by the Westinghouse Educational Foundation, an organization en dowed by the Westinghouse Elec tric Corporation for promotion of education and science. Sperry is director of the Na tional Science Foundation’s biolo gy program for high school stu dents of A&M. Woodworking Aids Instructor’s Work 1 Firemen Honored Today ■Twenty-one firemen who have volunteers instructors from jve to 30 years at the Texas Fire- Jen’s Training School, were hon ied in Dallas Tuesday at a noon pcheon. The ceremony was held at the hite Plaza Hotel during a plan ing session for the 1964 school, Jiich will he held on the A&M IDniversity campus in July. H. D. Smith, chief of the A&M rement training program, said le firemen were presented certi- feates commerating their years iif service as instructors. Two of the men—W. E. Twitty, ubbock fire chief emeritus, and . Roy Simmons, Dallas Fire De- irtment training chief, have com- leted 30 years of teaching. The )-year-old school annually at- ■acts firemen throughout the (United States. Last year’s attend ee was 1,823.

Senior Recognized For Summer Work The School of Engineering re ceived recognition this summer by having an outstanding student chosen to work as a salaried engi neer with the largest municipally- owned water and power utility in the United States. Michael J. Halaburka, a senior electrical engineering major, was among 71 outstanding students from colleges and universities throughout the nation who were selected for summer work by the When B. M. Hackney can’t buy the teaching aid he needs, he makes it in his own shop. The same thing happens when his wife wants new furniture. Hackney, a member of the Engi neering Extension Service at A&M University, trains craftmen how to teach their skills and knowledge to others. His classroom is set up anywhere in Texas where the need arises. But a glance around the Hack ney household shows why Mrs. Hackney is elated over the hand made furniture. In the Early-American styled living room, for instance, the Hackney-made additions include a seven-foot “grandfather” clock, a cobbler’s bench, a love seat and IcMeen, Field Foster, Charles jo\k Player, Charlie Jones, Harold ■otts, Harvey Peyton, Vernon B. picker, Richard Russell, Mason hnkford, Darrel Johnston, A.

THE WALLS, in addition, are covered with other early American furnishings made in the outdoor shop, which, incidentally, is guard ed by a pet crow. Hackney referred to his wood working efforts as a means of “keeping in shape for teaching,” which is necessary when his stu dents are actually teachers. His woodworking days date back 25 years, although much of the current furnishings are less than three-years-old. Most of his pro ducts are made from maple. THE EXCEPTIONS include a 17-foot inboard boat and—-of all things—a weight reducer for “his friends. The apparatus looks the same as those found in depart ment stores. With the EES, Hackney and other staff members travel throughout Texas for teaching purposes. When he sees some thing that could improve his teach ing techniques, he makes sketches of the object on paper and dupli cates it at home. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Baylor and master’s from A&M and is working toward a doctorate.

Under the student engineer pro gram of the DWP, the students actually worked side by side with the regular engineering staff and were paid for their efforts. As an employee in the Under ground Design Section of the Pow er System, Halaburka was able to apply his engineering training to practical tasks involved in seeing that the two and a half million people of the City of Los Angeles received electricity when and where it was needed. In addition to his work, Hala burka was given the opportunity of visiting and studying some of the DWP’s huge power facilities and new projects. Halaburka and his fellow student engineers were hon ored at a recognition dinner at the conclusion pf the summer program. USDA Economist Returns To TTI As Researcher Dr. William G. Adkins, a U. S. Department of Agriculture econo mist at A&M University since 1961, has rejoined the A&M Texas Transportation Institute as a re search economist. The announcement was made by Charles J. Keese, TTI executive officer. Adkins was a member of the TTI staff from 1955 until 1961 when he joined the USDA. “Dr. Adkins is an outstanding research specialist in the highway economics field,” Keese said, in making the announcement. “We are extremely pleased to have him rejoin our staff.” Adkins will he project super visor of a study involving time and money saved by commercial motor vehicle operators through use of improved highways. The National Cooperative Highway Re search Program will sponsor the study. Author of numerous reports dealing with economic effects of highway improvement, Adkins holds three degrees from A&M, in cluding a recent doctorate in agri cultural economics.

These advances have been evident in all American industries. In the field of agriculture there have been many improvements, but none stand out as much as the improve ments in the chicken industry. DR. J. H. QUISENBERRY, the head of the Department of Poultry Science said, “In a 25 year span the broiler industry has came up from raising 68 million birds to the two billion birds they are now producing.” Dr. Quisenberry implied there have been many problems to deal with in raising the chicken indus try from what it was 25 years ago. In raising two billion broilers for a year’s consumption the breeder must have a large supply of laying hens, and these birds must be selected and raised dif ferently than the bird used for consumption. TO PRODUCE A good laying hen, the producer wants her to be held back from reaching full sex ual maturity, said Quisenberry. It has been learned that if the laying hen is given more time to develop, she will produce larger eggs. A common question is “What dif ference does the size of egg have to do with the farmer?” If the egg is not large enough the farmer cannot afford to raise this bird for meat and will have to sell the egg as an egg. If the egg would have been large enough, he could have hatched it and raised it for consumption. This would mean the difference of about 60# lost on a dozen eggs as compared to a dozen of chicks which would have been sold to a feeding enter prise. Bryan Daily Eagle Takes Six Places The Bryan Daily Eagle is one of the best small town papers in the state of Texas if the de cision of The Texas Associated Press Managing Editors news contest is any measure. The Eagle carried off six awards including one first, two seconds and three honorable mentions in the contest held in Austin during the past weekend. The first place award went to (Louise Pairett for page one make-up. Second place was taken by Jack Graeme, a former Aggie, for short features. John West, sports editor of the paper, was responsible for the largest amount of the awards as he walked off with three honorable mentions. THERE ARE two ways to pre vent the chicken from reaching sexual maturity. Dr. Quisenberry stated that the first is to keep the amount of feed limited so that the chicken can just get bare ly enough to stay healthy. The main problem here lies in the fact that the bigger chicks will push the smaller ones away, thus causing a higher mortality rate, and extra employees will he needed to keep out the right amount of feeds. The second type of program is to feed the chickens low concen trate feeds, in which the chicken can eat all she wants. The prob lem here lies in the additional cost for feed, since she will not receive enough calories to develop herself completely, she is con stantly eating.
