A limited number of National
Defense Student Loans will be
made to assist full-time A&M stu
dents during the spring term, R.
M. Logan, chairman of the campus
committee administering the loan
program, announced.
Application forms for the loans
may be obtained from the Student
Aid Office in Room 8 of the YMCA

PLAN
Librarian Job Eased
With Data Processim
rHE B.
Data processing can be “a very
powerful tool” in freeing librarians
from clerical tasks so they can give
more time to serving students and
faculty.
This was the gist of the message
heard by librarians attending the
first seminar on data processing
for A&M Libraries staff members.
Among the 65 persons present Fri
day at one or the other of the iden
tical seminars were more than a
dozen guests from Arlington State
College, Rice University, Sam
Dynamite Out
In Geology
Exploration
The dynamite blasts thousands
of Texans have heard as geological
seismic crews study the earth’s
surface may go the way of the
dodo.
A&M marine geophysicists have
a brand new air gun to use instead
of dynamite charges, for example.
Earlier forms of the air gun and
an electric arcing device have been
tested in recent years for marine
seismic work. Crews working on
land continue to use explosives but
some use a device that drops a
heavy weight to the ground, set
ting off vibrations.
The new air gun obtained for
j A&M marine seismic work dis-
! charges bursts of compressed air.
The gun and its “fish rig” with a
total weight of 100 pounds lets off
i an explosive “whoompf” every sec
ond while instruments aboard the
ship record the pattern of sound
waves bouncing back from inner
rock of the earth. The rig trailed
behind the ship uses the sudden
release of 12.5 cubic inches of air
compressed to 3,000 pounds p e r
square inch to produce the sound.
“In the last 10 years there has
been lots of study of sound
sources,” John Antoine, a A&M re
search scientist and marine geo
physicist, said. He is a veteran
marine scientist and the co-author
of papers with Dr. Maurice Ewing,
director of Lament Geological Ob
servatory of Columbia University.
“Explosives are expensive and
considered rather dangerous,” An
toine said succinctly.
The new air gun is towed about
50 feet behind the research vessel
and at a depth of 10 feet. Also
trailed in the water is a string of
hydrophones, listening devices.
“You can hear a low whoompf.
It’s not sound so much as feel,”
Antoine said of the sensation as the
air gun blasts. A large bubble
rises to the surface after each ex
plosion.
“You should be able to fire the
air gun every second or so, while
with explosives 30 seconds is a
good rate,” the research scientist
said. Thus a great deal more data
can be obtained.
Houston State Teachers College
and the University of Houston.
A&M Library Director Robert
A. Houze stressed the introduction
of data processing techniques will
not cost anyone his job. He said
A&M libraries, like virtually all li
braries, face spiraling demands for
services and already are under
staffed.
“Direct service to faculty and
students is our aim,” Houze said.
“If we can let machines take over
as much of the clerical work as
possible, then we all can spend
more time in service.”
Close liaison with regular meet
ings of representatives of the
A&M, Rice and UH libraries was
cited by Houze as the libraries
move into the era of data process
ing.
Answering questions on A&M’s
intensive study of automation with
emphasis just now upon the serials
or periodicals was Bruce W. Stew
art. He is described as “the first
full-time data processing super
visor on the staff of an academic
library in the Southwest.”
Much of the seminar presenta
tion was by Robert Anderson, a
library specialist with the IBM
Corp.
Anderson defined data process
ing as essentially information
analysis and said the techniques
were applicable to sucb varied li
brary operations as serials, circu- |
lation, acquisitions and cataloguing, j
Much of his presentation was j
essing techniques to library opfl!|
tions.”

To Student
td?) — “Please consider this a
dun, Mr. President.”
This is what Doyle Reynolds,
25, a Lamar Tech student, said
when he wrote to President Lyndon
Johnson two weeks ago.
Reynolds said he sent the let
ter to the White House after hear
ing an item on television concern
ing Johnson’s 1948 Texas sena
torial campaign in the Port Arthur
area.
The letter added:
“A commentator said you threw
your hat to the people from the
helicopter, and gave a quarter to
the person who returned it.
“I was just a little fellow the
day you landed the helicopter in
Elks Park and spoke to the people
there. I remember returning your
hat to you, but I don’t remember
getting my quarter.”
Reynolds said he received this
letter on election day:
“I have never welched on a bill
and I do not intend to start now.
Enclosed please find the quarter I
have owed you since 1948. I am
enclosing an autographed picture
which I hope you will consider
the interest. Thank you for bring
ing the matter to my attention.
Lyndon Johnson.”
postmaster advised recently.
Every year around Christmastfe
mail gets heavier than the yea
before. Postmaster Ernest Greji
said.
Even though there is more mail
extra help has not been used.
Gregg stressed that everyon
should send mail early, especial g p e ]
fragile packages. Packages usual ’ veethear
ly come out in better shape wk I . , n
there is not a big rush.
Gregg also gave Christmas maii-B 6 0 ° n
ing tips: When sending packages^
# mm
The Fij
wrap them securely and have th
correct address on the package.
The zip code and return addres
should be put on all mail.
A slip of paper should be ea'
closed in packages to show return
address, list of contents and ai
dress of the addressee. This slip
of paper could be very imported
should the package have to b
opened, he said.
The Christmas rush around here
is usually a week before and a
week after the Christmas vacation,
said Gregg. In most towns he saie
the rush is a few days before ana
after Christmas Day.
