Manned Space Effort Uses A&M’s Exchange Students Eleven A&M University engi neering students, sophomores and juniors, are working this semester at off-campus jobs, mainly related to the nation’s space effort. Six of the students have assignments at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. “Three students in the coopera tive education program, which basically alternates on-campus stu dies and regular jobs with industry or the government, receive several additional benefits other than earn ing money for school expenses,” J. G. McGuire, assistant dean of engineering, said. “One of the chief benefits to the student is that this program provides an opportunity for him to gain meaningful experience di rectly associated with his course of study,” he continued. STUDENTS ARE PAID salaries commensurate with their educa tional level and experience during the period they work. “A student who carefully bud gets his earnings and expenditures can with wise spending save en ough during his work periods to defray most of his school expense,” McGuire said. The cooperative education pro gram takes a student only about one semester or summer school period longer than the usual four years required for a B.S. degree program. )DAWN KAMA , ? ? ? >ws UIS” iS WES’ Meet Gerald Bourland Students usually are paired, so that while one studies here the other fills the off-campus work assignment. THE BATTALION Friday, February 14, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 3 BETTER, BRIGHTER LIGHTS Electrical Service Aided By University’s Laboratory Every time you flip a light switch, you benefit from studies made in a campus laboratory. The same is true for residents of many states and even cities on other continents. “I guess there’s not a major transmission line or power plant built in Texas since 1947 for which we haven’t done at least some of the planning,” professor Lewis M. Haupt said. He supervises the Al ternating Current Network Calcu lator Laboratory, an analogue computer used in the design and study of power and transmission systems. THE LABORATORY, used for teaching and research, is avail able on a commercial basis to pub lic utilities, consulting engineers and others, Haupt said. Com mercial use of the laboratory is through arrangements with the A&M Research Foundation. “All that we have here is a scaled down electrical model,” Haupt said of the lab. He explain ed that the maze of electrical cir cuits and panels can be linked to reproduce in minature the trans mission lines and associated equip ment of a power system. Preparing the circuits may take only a few minutes for a small pro ject, while several days may be required to prepare for analyzing a large system. Then the visiting engineers may be engaged for several weeks in analyzing or test ing alternatives for a major trans mission system. The laboratory now is being used by a group of electric utility companies in a three weeks study. “Within a month in 1963 we represented transmission systems covering a large portion of the United States,” Haupt said. One of the projects covered much of the Midwest, the other included all of the Southeast. ANALYZING PROPOSED cir cuits in minature results in sav ings of thousands of dollars, plus assuring improved service. Fre quent studies in the A&M lab eventually result in the expendi ture of $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. “We don’t offer a course in how to operate the laboratory simply because a graduate in electrical engineering at A&M knows the fundamentals involved,” Haupt said. Senior students use the fa cility as part of their course work. Dewey Tipton of Jacksonville, serves part time as operator in charge of the facility. He holds the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from A&M and is a graduate student. Mar shall Wilson, a senior from Dallas, and Nazrul Islam, a doctoral stu dent from Pakistan, also are on the staff. Mrs. Gerald E. Shearer of Bryan, doubles as secretary and laboratory assistant. A&M graduate students have written 35 theses and dissertations based upon research in the labor atory, a fact in which Haupt takes pride. Computer Systems Associate at WE 1 Gerald Bourland, B.S., Central Missouri State College, ’61, picked Western Electric because it offered many interesting and challenging oppor tunities in his favorite fields—automation and data processing. Gerald’s work here consists of writing, testing and documenting computer programs — each one a different and exacting assignment. Also of great interest to Gerald when he joined Western were the Company’s numerous manage ment courses and paid Tuition Refund Plan. He knows, too, that we’ll need to fill thousands of su pervisory positions within the next few years. And he’s getting the solid experience needed to qualify. Right now, Gerald is working on a verification sub-system for maintaining production control. It consists of seven distinct computer programs that operate as one routine which performs the func tion of tying together and verifying forecasted with actual customer orders. If you, like Gerald Bourland, set the highest standards for yourself, enjoy a challenge, and have the qualifications we’re looking for—let’s talk! Opportunities for fast-moving careers exist now for liberal arts, physical science and business majors, as well as for electrical, mechanical and industrial engineers.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of charac ter and good citizenship. It is a store house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily. Sunday Deuteronomy 4:1-10 The entire message of America’s astronauts has not yet been deciphered. Parts of it still lie locked within instru ments, and most of it still is hidden in the infinity of space. But we are learning, and we might say that the astronauts are our teachers. Many, many years ago there was another great Teacher, and His message is still being revealed through faith to the mind of mankind. His message is the path of the Cross . . . the path to eternal life. But where do we find our instructions, our briefing? What instruments can we use to discover this message for ourselves? You. will find it in your church this Sunday. We all know now about Cape Canaveral, about tracking stations. We are discovering more about outer space. We know too about the Church. Let us use it then as our guide, our booster, our thrust to Heaven. Copyright 1964, Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.
