A former hangar is the research center for an instrument to analyze the surface of the moon. The com pact package may be carried by Apollo astronauts on the moon. Another hangar is headquarters for the Electric Distribution and Telecommunications Center. Thou sands of dollars worth of equip ment fill classrooms inside the facility. A former bowling alley and hob by shop has been converted for the Institute of Electronic Science where vocational students learn a trade at the University’s only two- year program. The A&M University Nuclear Science Center is training 17 ma rine engineers to operate the atomic-powered ship Savannah tied up at Galveston. The training period began last week and will continue through Wednesday. John D. Randall, associate head of the Nuclear Science Center and in charge of the training program, said the purpose of the instruction is to help qualify the engineers for Atomic Energy Commission licenses to operate the Savannah. After their training here, the men will take operator li cense examinations on the ship in March. Randall said A&M is conduct ing the training program under contract with Babcock and Wil cox, a nuclear power firm which has offices in Galveston. The firm has contracts with the AEG and the U. S. Maritime Commission to put the ship back into operation. Dr. Robert G. Cochran, head of the Department of Nuclear Engineering, negotiated the con tract with Babcock and Wilcox. The Savannah was idled at Galveston almost a year ago be cause of labor troubles. The problem has since been cleared up and the ship will be ready for sea duty again in the near fut ure. Randall said the engineers are receiving lectures on reactor theory, actual operating ex perience on A&M’s huge research reactor, and training and de monstration on a training re actor in the mechanical engi neering shops. Each man, he added, will get five hours of reactor operating time. Donald Feltz and Charles Polaski, Nuclear Science Center supervisors, are providing re actor training. They helped in the design and construction of the facility. John Reuscher, William Dow dy, and John Davis, all of the Nuclear Science Center Staff, are the lecturers. North Viet Nam and South Viet Name each is roughly the size of the state of Georgia. REACTOR OPERATION INSTRUCTOR Marine engineer learns complicated techniques Scrapbook Starts ExpandedA rch ives A scrapbook filled with news paper clippings telling of the New London school disaster of 1937 which claimed the lives of more than 450 youngsters has been re ceived as the first item in A&M University’s expanded archives collection. Receipt of the gift from J. W. Grosdidier, Box 227, New Lon don, was announced Friday by university archivist Ernest Lang ford. “All of our children have at tended London school and we would like this book to be entered in their behalf,” Grosdidier wrote. Among the five children are Leon E. Grosdidier, who received a Master of Science degree from A&M in 1960. The other are Juanita, Glen L., Neva L., and Sarah E. Grosdidier. A&M ARCHIVES CONTAIN an estimated 10,000 items relating broadly to university history, but under the new program gifts are sought that will help future schol ars better understand many facets of the state’s history and develop ment. “The collection is being developed into a general archives division of Cushing Memorial Library for the purpose of permanently pre serving for reference and research manuscripts, documents, pictures, newspapers, maps and records of all sorts,” library director Robert A. Houze said. Gifts or deposits of original re cords of people, families, business firms and organizations are wel comed. “Materials deposited will be list ed under family name and care fully and properly protected,” Langford said. “The materials will be made available for public use under safe guards. For purpose of income tax deductions, a monetary value may be placed on gifts.” THE UNIVERSITY ALSO col lects, preserves and makes availa ble for study both books and periodicals dealing with business, economic, literary, political and social development. A lengthy list of the types of materials which should properly be placed in the archives collection and further information may be obtained by contacting the col lection at Cushing Memorial Li brary. THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES SALUTE: GEORGE PYLAND Engineering at Southwestern Bell offers many facets for developing talents and abilities. For George Pyiand (B.S.M.E., 1958), his present position of District Engineer, Victoria, Texas, makes him responsible for all outside plant engineering in some 25 towns. This is quite a demanding position for a young man only five years out of college. But for George, this is just another opportunity to prove himself. Throughout his career with the telephone company, he has been given every chance to show his capacity for increased responsibilities. New Store Hours — 8 a. m. 'til 5:30 p. m. — 6 Days A Week. In previous assignments, George has supervised large numbers of employees responsible for maintaining top- quality telephone service. He has supervised outside main tenance and repair personnel as well as coordinating the work functions of central office people. His initiative has paid off in satisfaction and increased compensation. George Pyiand, like many young engineers, is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business. BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES iiiiissii ill liiiii
