'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.

Something New In Smells;
Aroma tP Peach Blossoms
An A&M University student is
using his training in horticulture
and organic chemistry to make
perfume out of peach blossoms.
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.

Scientist Says Summertime
Is Best For Eating Oysters
This may come as a shock to
many Americans. 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-
