(AP Wirephoto) Folklore Society Becomes Separate MSC Committee The John Avery Lomax Folk lore Society, formed in 1960 and sponsored by Dr. John Q. Ander son, head of the Department of English, will meet at 7:30 Monday night in Rooms 2C and D of the Memorial Student Center to elect Grad Writes Paper On Tomato Peeling An A&M University graduate horticulture student has turned up evidence of value to vegetable pro cessors who want more efficient tomato peeling methods. The peeling problem is the sub ject of Gerald C. Heddins’ masters degree thesis: Effect of Heat and Chemicals on the Pericarp of Tomatoes.” Heddins, supervised by Dr. E. E. Burns, associate professor of horticulture approached the prob lem from three directions. He took standard and new tomato varieties and put them through the usual scald treatment. A second group treated with scalding water with lye, and a third group with scald ing water and calcium chloride. Heddins found that calcium chlo ride did the best job. It removed the peels easier, firmed up the tissues and left the tomato in a better overall condition. The lye treatment also removed the peeling effectively but a larger percentage of the pericarp (outer wall) was taken with the skin. The lye failed to firm the fruit like the calcium chloride did. Heddins said that after the to matoes were peeled, they were canned and then opened after three months. Again, the calcium chloride friut was firmer and in better condition. Both the cal cium chloride and lye treatments proved superior to the plain scald ing method. officers and discuss the new status that they will enjoy as a separate MSC committee. During the previous three years, the Lomax Folklore Society has been an exclusive club under An derson’s sponsorship, with mem bers being selected on a basis of grades and the individual’s interest in folklore. Starting this spring, the folklore society will become an MSC com mittee, which according to Ander son, will broaden the possibilities of the society and give student in terest a better chance to expand. Anderson said that he expects the folklore society to be listed under the MSC Music committee this spring and that next spring it would become a separate com mittee. John Avery Lomax (1867-1948) was professor of English at A&M from 1903 to 1910. During that time he collected cowboy ballads and other pieces of folklore and Architecture Grad Joins State Board contributed greatly to the preser vation of the lore of Texas, the Southwest, and the nation. It was in his honor that the A&M Folk lore Society was formed. Anderson revealed that interest in folklore at A&M has increased every year since its start in 1960. English 329, Introduction to Folk lore and Folksongs, a three hour course, is taught by Anderson each spring as an elective. The class, Anderson pointed out, had approxi mately 30 members when it was introduced and has increased each year and that this year’s class members total approximately 40.

Fuselier added that it does not do much good to isolate the cases after they have been discovered. “By the time they realize they have the measles they have spent the most infectious time, the first 24 hours, in the dorm,” he said. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for* Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service I“We Service All Foreign Cars” 1422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 THE BATTALION Tuesday, March 17, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 3 Ag Students Study Cold Grain Storage A&M University agricultural en gineers are working on use of cold, moisture-conditioned air to main tain quality of stored grain.

Aluminum trays and T-shirts stressing the same idea have also become available. “A fresh supply of 2200 of the basketball stickers arrived at the Exchange Store Saturday,” said Carl Birdwell, general manager. “These stickers are being sold for 25 cents each. The first batch of about 16-1700 stickers was sold out in two and one-half days,” said Birdwell. “We took quite a gamble on those first stickers, ordeidng them about three weeks before the title was cinched. “Two types of championship auto stickers, selling for 15 and 25 cents apiece, are available at the MSC Gift Shop,” said Mrs. Tom Covey, manager. Five hundred of each arrived Thursday. “Aluminum trays, similar to the Senior Ring trays but stressing the championship, are available. Cham pionship T-shii’ts, available in all sizes, are also selling well,” said Mrs. Covey. “Special orders can also be made for those desiring Southwest Con ference Championship sweatshirts. Those interested should inquire at the Gift Shop,” said Mrs. Covey. free insect control. Researchers on the project are J. W. Sorenson; W. E. McCune, director of the Texas Farm Elec trification Committee, and N. K. Person. Person said the major objective is to determine a design that will circulate cold air through the grain at proper temperature and relative humidity. Present trials are with sorghum grain. When this is done, mold damage can be controlled. Insect damage is held to a minimum because the bugs are killed by the cold air. One of the big problems, Person pointed out, is to design an in stallation that will lower the rate of heat penetration of the storage bin wall. “We also want to know how much controlled air to put into the bin to bring the grain down to the desired temperature in a certain period of time,” he explained. Demo Candidates’ Speeches Planned Candidates in the Democratic Primary will speak to the Brazos County Young Democrats in the Brazos County Courthouse court room, Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. Some of the candidates who will be present are: U.
