Eb^ a monj a t havs Vi ll fin,; 4&M Prof Writes Vegetation History “A History of the Vegetation tion. saying ^ thg jj io Grande Plain,” a book emen t y jack Inglis, instructor in Wild- fe Management, has been released the publisher, the Texas Parks n d Wildlife Department. The 122-page book with illustra- ons by Charles Shaw is the result a project by Inglis to determine j effects of brush on the deer opulation in South Texas. Inglis said there has been a great eal of controversy since about 920 as to whether the mesquite rush had always been in the area, it had invaded from Mexico, or ad simply increased through the ears. Using diaries of travelers from s far back as 1675, Inglis plot- id their routes on large scale iaps and recorded their comments bout day to day travel. His re- earch shows mesquite trees were resent in scattered stands gen- tally, but often so thick along the reek and river bottoms that the painards used cutlasses to clear trail. Inglis in his next research used set of diaries from 1820 to 1860, gain plotting routes and determi- ing brush had not increased much, ut giving more detail to distribu- Working out another set of routes used about the turn of the century, Inglis found immense growth of brush. Diaries of trav elers told of “chapparal jungles. In reference to deer, early trav elers wrote of seeing thousands of deer a day in the open country. They also told of an abundance of antelopes, seldom seen in South Texas today. Inglis makes no fine conclusions in his book about why the brush made such big gains between about 1860 and 1900. The Rio Grande plain, or Bal- cones escarpment as it is some times called, covers approximately 38 million acres. It is bordered on the north by a line between San Antonio and Del Rio, on the north east by the Guadalupe River, and on the south and west by the Rio Grande River. Inglis’ book includes several color maps of the terrain. He worked two summers, one with the aid of a graduate student, in compiling information, which came largely from the A&M Library, archives at the University of Tex as, and several diaries from the Library of Congress.

It is a storehouse spiritual factor on earth for ing of character and mild- od spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church.. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his chil dren’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. Strange sight? Not really! We’re getting used to seeing pictures of our own earth. We’re getting used to the concept of a universe instead of a world. We can believe that the moon’s soon to become a landing place. Does this familiarity with space — does our thrust into the physical un known make the basic facts of life and death any simpler to us? Certainly not! Man is in a peculiar position, today. The more he explores, the more vast he finds what lies ahead of him. The more he learns, the more he discovers how infinitely much there is to know. More than ever before, man realizes how great the hand of God has been in fashioning this world, this universe, we live in. That’s why people every where — including scientists, astronauts, space pioneers — are men of religious conviction. Go to church this Sunday, and see for yourself. itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.

Connally said Thursday his legislation re grouping the 22 state colleges in to three systems is ready for in troduction. Connally said there are no changes from his original pro posal calling for a University of Texas System, a Texas A&M-Tex- as Tech System and a senior col lege system. The proposal would place all colleges under one of three gov erning boards. There are now 11 governing boards. Connally proposed the legisla ture in his Jan. 27 address, em phasizing the need for a broad geographic and population base for the systems. The systems lineup: University of Texas - Austin campus, Texas Western, Arlington, North Texas, Texas Woman’s, Uni versity of Houston, Texas South ern, and medical and dental units. Texas State University System- A&M, Tech, Prairie View, Tarleton, Lamar, A&I, agricultural and en gineering services and a new San Antonio Technical College.

Temperatures of 90 degrees and higher have been recorded a few time during the month, especially after the twentieth. On March 30, 1946, the temperature rose to 96 degrees, highest reading for the month. Griffiths said records show that in 1911 the temperature was in the 90s for three consecutive days. He cited two temperatures from the 1955 records as typifying the variableness of March weather. On March 26 the mercury rose to 85 degrees, but the next day the tem perature was 40. Rainfall varies almost as much although the average for the month is 3 inches. Through the years from .5 of an inch to 8 inches have fallen during the month. In 1934, four inches fell in one day. “On the average we get seven rainy days during the month and one day with more than 1-inch of rainfall. But it’s seven years since we last had an inch of rain fall on one day in March,” Grif fiths said. Brooks Is Engineer Russell D. Brooks was named 1964 Engineer of the Year at Texas Society of Professional Engineers’ Brazos Chapter banquet at Briar- crest Country Club last night. Brooks is presently vice presi- sident and General Superintendent of Industrial Generating Co, a member of the state advisory board for Junior Engineering Technical Society and president of the Brazos Chapter of TSPE. He was graduated from John Tarleton College and A&M Uni versity with a degree in electrical engineering. He served 5 years in the army during World War II. He spent 2% years in the South Pacific and attained the rank of Lt. Col onel. In his capacity of superintendent at Industrial Generating Co., he is responsible for the operation of the only solid fueled power plant in Texas at Rockdale and the operation of the largest lignite mine in the state. Because this in the only solid fuel power plant in the region, the successful operation requires f Foreign Student Enrollment Jumps The foreign student enrollment this semester comes from 50 na tions. This information is con tained in a newly-released analy sis issued by Robert L. Melcher, foreign student advisor. The total of 427 foreign students registered this semester tops the previous spring semester enroll ment high of 364 set a year ago and nearly equals the all-time rec ord of 433 foreign students en rolled last fall. Slightly more than half of the students seek advanced degrees. Thirteen nations list 10 or more students. India and Pakistan are each represented by 60 students. © NOW PAYING Jefferson Standard, since organization in 1907, has never paid less than 4% interest on dividend accumulations and policy proceeds left on deposit with the Company to provide income.
