A&M President Earl Rudder
called the annex a site of great
value to both the university and
Bryan-College Station.
“The Research Annex is a per
fect location for research-oriented
laboratories and industry,” he
noted. “Expansion of the Annex
will mean extra dollars in the
local economy and significant con
tributions to America’s knowledge
of the world.”
PROGRAMS UNDERWAY in
the 112-building complex include
schools for polygraph examiners,
electronic technicians, civil defense,
personnel, telephone and electric
workers.
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.

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.
