Sigma Xi Award Dr. Dilford C. Carter, right, of the Department of Wildlife, -eceives a $50 check from Dr. R. J. Baldauf, immediate >ast president of Sigma Xi Society. Sigma Xi is a pro- essional science group. Paul D. Cratin of Tulsa, Okla., a lormer student now associated with a petroleum research firm, was the other winner. '2.5 Million Ready For BU HOUSTON <^> — Baylor Uni- rsities were told Thursday that If of the funds for a $5 million ilding program on the campus the Waco school are on hand or sight. The trustees gave a go-ahead 'nal to its development commit- le to raise the rest of the money |eded to complete the program. 1 of the new construction is to on the main university campus. Earl C. Hankamer of Houston, vice chairman of the board, pre sided over the meeting held at the Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. Projects included in the $5 mil lion program include a $2.5 mil lion library, a $1.5 million science building, and a new wing for the 2,500 seat Waco Hall for the School of Music.

He is Billy R. Loveless, junior food technology major from Jack sonville, Ark. Billy is a member of Dr. E. E. Burns’ Advanced Fruit and Vege table Processing course. The peach flower perfume project is a class assignment. Burns says the idea is to de monstrate how new products can sometimes be developed from com mon materials. Peach flowers, he adds, don’t have anything special over other flowers. It’s just that a whole peach orchard is across the road from the laboratory, and the blos soms have been handy. Almost any kind of flower can be utilized for perfume, Burns said. Loveless will try honey suckle after he runs out of peach blossoms. The student makes the perfume in small amounts in two ways: steam distillation and the solvent method to remove the “essence of oil.” With the steam system, petals are simply put into water and boiled. Vapors are condensed, pro ducing the sweet smelling oil. The solvent method is the more sophisticated. Petals are mixed with petroleum ether, which com bines with the essence of oil. The volatile substance is distilled, al lowing the ether to pass off and leaving the oil. Material Studied For Moon Landing Sometime in the future—perhaps by 1970—an American space ve hicle will plummet through the moon’s atmosphere for a lunar landing. The softness of that landing will depend upon a multitude of fac tors—but basically how much the vehicle can be slowed considering its weight and speed. A “shock absorber” technique is the subject of a long-range stu dy by students and professors at A&M University who are testing light-weight materials capable of controlling the energy created by spaceships rocketed through space. Four graduate aerospace engi neering students, all candidates for master’s degrees this month, have tackled different phases of the project. They include Armand J. Chaput, who won top honors with his research report at a Southwest meeting of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics recently. Chaput is an Omaha, Neb., resident. The others are Sam Herrmann of Allentown, Pa., William J. Bland of Washington, D. C., and Lynn Harding of Dallas. Chaput worked with brittle pieces of tubing that crumble un der the heavy impact of such things as space vehicles. As the cy linders are crushed, the vehicle is slowed. The Family Hour Begins at 9 Keeping in touch by long distance has never cost less than it does after 9 PM. You can call anywhere in the U.S. for $1.00 or less.* And with con venient Direct Distance Dialing it's easier than ever. So if you’re away on business, away at school or just lonely for the sound of a loved one’s voice, go ahead—enjoy yourself—when the low cost family hour begins at 9. *station-to-station, plus federal excise tax Southwestern States Telephone Another technique under study involves use of aluminum tubing that folds like an accordion when the weight comes down. S-shaped pieces of metal that work on the same principle as the automobile bumper frame support is another technique used. These supports buckle under extreme force. Another promising material is aluminum “honeycomb” that pro vides a cushion for heavy objects. Problems associated with the project are varied. Whatever material is used, it must be light and perform exactly the same way under different de sign conditions in order to be reliable, commented Herrmann. All the researchers agree that current findings are valuable, al though additional study is needed. Their reports will be turned over to the project sponsor, National Aeronautics and Space Administra tion. “It may be that a combination of all the techniques we’ve studied will be developed as the best solution,” Bland said. Although the project is centered around space-related problems, the impact study also can be adapted to more down-to-earth situations. For instance, elevators, automo biles and cargo dropped from air planes are other possible users of the “shock absorbers.” But the study itself stems from another A&M project conducted by the university’s Activation Analy sis Research Laboratory. It in volves landing a compact gadget, capable of analyzing the moon’s surface once delivered.

The ‘myth’ or belief that oysters shouldn’t be eaten in any month that doesn’t have an “R” in its name is fiction, says Wallace Klussmann, wild life specialist for the Texas Agri cultural Extension Service. A recent research report re leased by the U. S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Commercial Fisheries shows the ‘myth’ or be lief has no scientific basis. In fact, May or June are cited as the best two months for dining on the mollusks. Oysters are fatter and taste bet ter in the spring because they are storing glycogen — an animal starch—in preparation for the sum mer spawning season, says Kluss- W TT TRADI T IONAL Keepsake WEDDING SETS The most famous name in wedding tradition.
