Power Plant Doubles Turbine Generator Capacity
A&M will more than double its
H power plant capacity as a new
12,000 volt turbine generator unit
goes into regular service early in
February.
HH Completion of the major ex
pansion to meet the steadily in-
■j creasing needs of research pro
jects, teaching and student hous
ing was announced by Howard
Badgett, director of the Univer
sity Physical Plant Office.
The $2,300,000-plus project be
gun in 1963 also involves major
expansion of the central chilled
water system at the heart of the
ever-expanding air conditioning
system.
Cost of the project was met
from proceeds of the sale of
revenue bonds.

“Research efforts in nuclear
engineering and the plant sci
ences, to name but two exam
ples, are requiring ever increas
ing amounts of electricity,” Bad
gett said.
A. P. Kasch and Sons of Big
Spring held the major construc
tion contracts. Westinghouse
Electric Corp. built and installed
the generator and related units
under a $426,000 contract.
The expansion boosts electric
generating capacity from the
old “nameplate generation cap
acity” of 9,760 kilowatts to more
than 21,000.
The expanded central air con
ditioning system goes to virtual
ly every classroom building on
campus and to nine dormitories.
The power plant makes multi
ple use of the steam from its
boilers, a combination, egineer-
ing studies show is highly effici
ent. After driving the turbine
generators the exhaust steam is
used in winter to heat campus
buildings through a central hot
water heating and distribution
system.

Through School By Magic
Students do many things to aid
their college educations, but few
work as magicians.
Such a unique young man is Jim
Baldauf, a 21-year-old sophomore.
It’s nothing new with him. He’s
been serving up magic since grade
school.
The slightly-built College Station
resident took up magic as a hobby,
developed further interest by read
ing books, and turned professional
in his early teens to earn pocket
money.
“I performed for church and civic
groups, schools, and just about
everywhere as an amateur,” Bal
dauf recalls. “Happily, the calls
didn’t slow up much when I turned
professional.”
Baldauf was encouraged early by
a friend of the Great Houdini, one
of the best known magicians of all
time. “He was a very old man,
but he told me a lot of interesting
stories about Houdini, and even
gave me some letters from Hou
dini,” Baldauf said.
A past member of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Magicians
and the Texas Association of Ma
gicians, Baldauf says magicians are
anxious to help newcomers.
Baldauf has a varied repertoire
in his bag of tricks. He doesn't
cut people in half or make young
ladies float in the air.
“Most kids like rabbits out of
the hat and things like that. They
love magic. Adults seem to prefer
the slight of hand tricks,” he con.
mented.
Audience participation is usual;
woven into Baldauf’s performatK
but his wife, the former Margaret
Thames of College Station, dos
not participate. She elects to re
main an observer.
When he’s not doing feats oi
magic for fun and profit, Baldaai
keeps in shape by manipulating!
deck of cards. And although k
has performed before audiences)!
hundreds all over Texas, he admit
to being a trifle nervous before
every performance.
Magic hasn’t hurt Baldaufs
school work. He was a distre
guished student as a freshman ani
is participating in the new honor!
program of the university. Cut'
rently, he’s taking 19 hours oi
courses toward a major in English
He plans to carry a similar load
next semester.
BALDAUF
Baldauf doesn’t plan a futures!
a magician but, hopes to help pay
his way through graduate school
with his magic wand.
Graduation was only the beginning
of Jim Brown’s education
Because he joined Western Electric
Jim Brown, Northwestern University, ’62, came
with Western Electric because he had heard about
the Company's concern for the continued develop
ment of its engineers after college graduation.
Jim has his degree in industrial engineering and
is continuing to learn and grow in professional
stature through Western Electric's Graduate Engi
neering Training Program. The objectives and edu
cational philosophy of this Program are in the best
of academic traditions, designed for both experi
enced and new engineers.
Like other Western Electric engineers, Jim
started out in this Program with a six-week course
to help in the transition from the classroom to
industry. Since then, Jim Brown has continued to
take courses that will help him keep up with the
newest engineering techniques in communications.
This training, together with formal college
engineering studies, has given Jim the ability to
develop his talents to the fullest extent. His present
responsibilities include the solution of engineer
ing problems in the manufacture of moly-permal-
loy core rings, a component used to improve the
quality of voice transmission.
If you set the highest standards for yourself,
enjoy a challenge, and have the qualifications
we’re looking for — we want to talk to you! Oppor
tunities exist now for electrical, mechanical and
industrial engineers, and for physical science, lib
eral arts and business majors. For more informa
tion, get your copy of the Western Electric Career
Opportunities booklet from your Placement Officer.
And be sure to arrange for an interview when the
Bell System recruiting team visits your campus.
