BRIEFS
Nero Ducats Go
On Sale Monday
Tickets will go on sale Monday
in the Student Programs Office
of the Memorial Student Center
for the April 2 Town Hall per
formance of the popular pianist,
Peter Nero.
“Since this is an extra attrac
tion in the Town Hall series, there
will be no reserve seats. Season
tickets and student activity cards
are not acceptable," Robert L.
Boone, Student Programs director,
said.
All seats will be $1.
Tickets for “Ballet Folklorico of
Mexico,’ scheduled April 13, will go
on sale April 5. The performance
is covered by season tickets and
activity cards.
The “bonus’ Town Hall perform
ance has been scheduled for May
14 and will feature the “Dukes of
Dixieland," with Comedian Louie
Nye. Season tickets and student
activity cards will be accepted for
the show.
LATIN COFFEE
Latin American students attend
ing Texas A&M University are in
vited to attend a coffee Saturday
afternoon for Alcides Leal-Osorio,
a Chilean agricultural leader.
The coffee, set for 5:15 p.m. in
the Birch Room of the MSC is
being arranged by the Interna
tional Programs Office and the
International Hospitality Com
mittee.
Leal-Osorio is chief of the Com
munity Development Section of the
Department on Rural Welfare of
the Institute for the Development
of Cattle and Agriculture in Chile.
He is also president of the Radical
Youth Organization of the Chilean
National Radical Party.
SPACE SYMPOSIUM
A symposium on reliability,
space age analytical techniques in
evaluating systems and components
for many purposes opened Wed
nesday on campus. The classroom
sessions continue through Friday
afternoon.
As many as 80 persons, includ
ing A&M students are expected
for some of the sessions at the
MSC. Registration totaled 35 men
from industry, the military and
other campuses.
Five Texas sections of the
American Society for Quality Con
trol are listed as co-sponsors of
the symposium with the Institute
of Statistics and the Department
of Industrial Engineering.
TRANSPORTATION CONFAB
Students, faculty, and staff
members will be admitted to all
sessions of the Seventh Texas
Transportation Conference, April
1 and 2, without having to pay the
registration fee, according to an
announcement by Maj. Gen. John
P. Doyle, MacDonald Chair Pro
fessor of Transportation, the con
ference director.
The sessions will include such
topics as Intra-State Transporta
tion Requirements of Texas, Com
puterization of Tariffs, Objectives
of De-regulation, Transportation
Companies, Future of Highway
Transport, and Vehicle Weights
and Sizes. The conference is spon
sored annually by the Texas Trans
portation Institute and its advisory
committee.
A husband and wife never see
things quite the same way, and
so it is with newly “married"
radar sets on the A&M campus.
Operational use of the unique
matched radars—the only known
operational dual-frequency sys
tem for weather use— will be
gin within a few days. The Na
tional Science Foundation grant
ed $18,900 for modifying two
high-power radars already on the
campus. Feasibility of this ap
proach was determined in earlier
studies here under an NSF
grant of more than $90,000. The
earlier studies yielded material
for graduate students’ these
professional journals and papers
at national and international con
ferences.
Vance E. Moyer directs the
program aimed at unlocking sec
rets of rain and other participa
tion-yielding clouds. He hopes
to develop a radar approach to
estimating how much rain is'
within the clouds. Information
yielded by this approach also
may prove of value to rainmak
ers and hydrologists.
The newly “married’ radars
see differently because they
emit beams of different wave
lengths.
“The smaller the wavelength
the greater the sensitivity to
the smaller raindrops. This is
the main difference," Dr. Moyer.
said as a radar meteorologists.
This difference in length of
the radio waves causes a varia
ble—attentuation is the techni
cal term—in the scattering of
the waves within the clouds.
Heavy rainfall “soaks up" the
3.2-centimeter radar set beam.
The 10.3-centimeter beam is large
enough to penetrate storms com
posed of the largest raindrops.
“We intend to profit from this
attentuation factor ... by using
our gadgetry, to make a quanti
tative evaluation of the preci
pitation cell itself,” Moyer said.
Estimates of rainfall in clouds
above the Riesel area 17 miles
east of Waco will be checked
against actual rainfall measured
at the Blacklands Experimental
Watershed. The watershed with
“a rather dense network” of rain
measuring stations on Brushy
Creek is operated by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Ag-
gricultural Research Service.
Ralph Baird is in immediate
charge.
A&M’s Dr. Robert A. Clark will
be concerned especially with de
veloping the application of radar
meteorology techniques to water
resources uses. He is an assistant
professor with hydrometeorology
as his special field.
Knowledge that radar can be
used to spot weather patterns
dates from World War II when
radar was newly developed. Dr.
Moyer told of radar operators
in India picking up unidentified
objects. Eventual checking proved
these to be the bluffs along
the coast of Arabia as far away
as 1700 miles. Layers of air
with great contrast in tempera
tures and water vapor were
bending the radar beams, allow
ing them “to see” for miles be
yond normal limits.
“Very little" is being done by
the Russians in the field of radar
meteorology," Moyer said.

Transportation Institute Conducts Motor Carrier Survey
A&M researchers are conducting
a continuous traffic study to pro
vide statistically reliable estimates
of the size and character of all
motor carrier shipments handled
by several hundred firms in the
Southwest, according to Charles J.
Keese, executive officer of the
Texas Transportation Institute.
The Institute’s transportation
economics department headed by
Charley V. Wootan is conducting
the research for the Southwest
Motor Freight Bureau, an agency
charged with publishing rates and
providing tariffs for the 299 com
mon motor carriers within the
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisi
ana, and Arkansas, which handle
almost 20 million separate ship
ments each year.
The project results from a re
cent hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission which re
quested the SWMFB to initiate a
continuing traffic study for use in
its present investigation and other
rate studies. The work began at
the request of J. D. Hughett, gen
eral manager of SWMFB, who
initially requested the Texas
Transportation Institute to develop
a statistically reliable sampling
procedure that would permit a
minimum-cost continuing study.
The sampling procedure was de
veloped by Hoy A. Richards of
TTI, working in cooperation with
Dr. H. O. Hartley, director of
A&M’s Institute of Statistics. With
aceptance of the sampling proced
ure the present project to provide
data on shipments for rate studies
was established with Richards
serving as project supervisor and
Hartley as statistical consultant.
It will continue through 1965 at
an estimated cost of $17,500 and
involve the processing a approxi
mately 170,000 separate waybills
through A&M’s Data Processing
Center, Richards said.
