The Ralston Purina Teaching Award of $1000 and a plaque were presented to Dr. Cecil B. Ryan an associate professor in the Department of Poultry Science at the re cent Poultry Science Association annual meeting at the University of Minnesota. A&M Prof Honored In the photograph, left to right, are Dr. J. L. Millican of Purina, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Edward G. Buss of Pennsylvanian State University, chairman of the Teaching Award Committee. J. Wayne Stark, director of the Memorial Student Center, has been appointed to a three-year term on the International Relations Com mittee of the Association of Col lege Unions International. He pre viously served as president of the association and on various impor tant committees. The association is currently cele brating its golden anniversary. Its purpose is to provide an opportun ity for unions throughout the world to join in studying and improving their services, and to assist in the development of new college unions, Stark said. ★★★ Delane E. Welsch, a Nebras kan, has joined the Department of Agricultural Economics and Sociology as an assistant profes sor. Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of the College of Agriculture, said Welsch will conduct research on livestock and farm organization in East Texas. The economist received his BS and MS degrees from the University of Nebraska. He spent two years at Michigan State University studying for the PhD degree, and the past year in Nigeria, West Africa, collecting data and writing his dissertation on economics of the rice industry in that country. ★★★ The appointment of Dr. Teddy J. Hirsch as associate head of the Structural Research Department of the Texas Transportation Insti tute has been announced by Charles J. Keese, executive officer of the Institute. Hirsch received his BS; MS and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from A&M. He has conducted major research projects involving concrete piles and lightweight con crete in cooperative work of the Institute with the Texas Highway Department and the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Public Roads. ★★★ The College of Veterinary Medicine has two new faculty members. They are Dr. William Earl Berkley, formerly of the Uni versity of California, and Dr. Jerry Don Bell, radiology in structor. Dr. Berkley, a 1963 graduate of A&M, is an instructor in large animal clinics. Bell has returned to the De partment of Veterinary Parasi tology after a year’s leave spent at the University of Minnesota, where he worked toward a doc toral degree. 100 MPH Is Seen For Speed Limits American drivers within 20 years legally will speed along the highway at 100 miles an hour.

Bids are now being received for its construction. Upon completion of the facility, research crews supervised by Frank H. Scrivner, head of the Depart ment of Pavement Design, will use machine known as the Shell Vibrator to gather data. Employing seismic principles, the machine in troduces vibrations into the pave ment at various frequencies and then measures the wave length of the resulting surface wave, Scriv ner said. The wave lengths are function of variables involving thickness and elastic properties of the base, subbase, and subgrade of the roadway. The new facility will enable the researchers to test flexible pave ments of different designs under more exacting conditions in one place in conducting research to determine the best pavements for Texas in a cooperative investiga tion with the Texas Highway De partment; Department of Com merce, Bureau of Public Roads; and the Highway Research Board. The researchers have had to travel to various parts of the state to find pavements of certain de signs and to test them by brake- up and sampling means which were destructive to the highway and caused inconvenience and main tenance. In such cases thickness of layers have not always been exact and other conditions have varied. Now all work will be under ideal laboratory conditions with opportunities for constant comparison and review, Scrivner pointed out. The research makes use of statis tical and calculational technology that has resulted from cooperation with the Institute of Statistics. industrial education whose special interest is driver education. “I think its going to require an entirely new concept of driving, the professor said of high-speed driving in the future. And 100 mile-an-hour travel also is going to be more expensive. Everything from highway con struction to equipment within the autos is involved, Hawkins said. The professor who is responsi ble for the driver education in structor program at A&M has served as a consultant and modera tor of a number of national driver edducation programs. “I don’t believe that within 10 years will have much roadway suitable for 100 mile an hour driv ing, but I think that in 20 years such driving will be common,” Hawkins predicted. He cited driver’s “seeing habits” as among the necessary changes in driving concepts as speeds move upward. Too many drivers even now do not watch for develop ments far enough ahead of their own car, he said. “I think another thing this high er speed will do is to make neces sary illustrations and sketches, posted so the drivers know what they are getting into as they ap proach an intersection,” Hawkins cintinued. “I think these changes also are going to mean the periodic freshing of drivers. It may even come to the point we issue dif ferent types of licenses,” Haw kins said. He explained that “superior license” might be is sued to safer drivers who complete regular, periodic refresher courses The professor believes “a lot of speeding” by drivers nowadays is due to lack of information. He cited as an example that rain on a highway means autos lose one-third to one-half of their trac tion. 4 p.m mum charge—40^ DEADLINE day before publicati Classified Display 90^ per column inch each insertion OFFICIAL NOTICE Official mailed s< of Student VI notices must be brought or as to arrive in the Office iblications (Ground loor YMCA, VI 6-6415, hours 8-12, 1-5, daily Monday through Friday) at or before the deadline of 1 p. m. of the day preceding publication—Director of Student Publica tions.
