Hansen is a mathematics student at A&M. The First Oak Leaf Cluster to the Air Medal was presented Capt. Patrick L. Musmaker for service as a combat crew mem ber in Viet Nam. He has just arrived at A&M to study for a master’s degree in mathematics. Four captains received the Air Force Commendation Medal. They are Phillip J. Wendt, a mathematics student; Jack K. Anderson, computer science; Rob ert P. Love, business; and Ken neth R. Meisinger, business. Capt. John A. Neubauer re ceived the Air Force Reserve Medal for 10 years active duty. He is a meteorology student. Captains Jerome C. Jarnick and Frederic L. Sjostrom, Jr., re ceived the Combat Readiness Medal. Jarnick is a business stu dent and Sjostrom is studying aerospace engineering. SOUNDS FROM SPACE Two high school students in the engineering Christi and Jess B science program at Texas A&M listen to recorded sounds and check a written chart. The recording is signals from a satellite. Pictured are Coleman P. Callaway of Corpus Rhoden of Kerrville. The unique program for 33 young men from across the nation was sponsored by Texas A&M and the National Science Founda tion. It ended Friday. SUMMER GOODS ©IBSON’S w l§|* ..

Thirty-three young men from high schools across the nation participated. They worked on stress prob lems in a pilot program of engi neering science. The program is described as first of its type in the nation. “The students worked on prob lems normally encountered only by advanced graduate students,” Dr. J. George H. Thompson said. A professor of mechanical engi neering, he directed the six-week summer program ended Friday (July 16). A&M President Earl Rudder Friday awarded certificates of completion to each of the 33 young men. He presented simi lar certificates to 31 other high school students completing a pro gram in the biological sciences. Texas A&M and the National Science Foundation offered the six-week programs to be followed by‘others starting Monday (July 19). Gist of the program was to use the scientific study of stress as typifying scientific applica tion of knowledge by the engi neering profession. Stress is de fined in pounds per square inch as a measure of the intensity of load upon a point. “Photoelasticity,” a word prob ably never before heard by the students until their arrival: Texas A&M, now is a con® term for all. This means then of special lighting and photos| evaluate stress. “We’ve tried to give the st dents a spirit of scientific me5 od and the feeling of discovj and accomplishment as tls worked,” Dr. Thompson said, A number of A&M fact! members have helped. Bob Smith and his staff at ti Data Processing Center playi “a major role” in formulatiij and executing the problems fi the young men. Also playing important roll in the program were Professes C. M. Simmang, C. H. Samso: Jr., Theodore A. Noyes and E{ win S. Holdredge, in addition! Smith and Dr. Thompson. C. 1! Loyd is coordinator of NSF prt grams at A&M. Each student prepared an; then did a program involving is of the sophisticated IBM W Digital Computer. They all learned the uses of analog cot puters. Each student went to clasi every morning except Sunday Each afternoon except for west ends was spent on a researti assignment. These were in soiti engineering or scientific labota tory on A&M’s main campus o: at the Research and Develop, ment Annex. Campus Briefs I Federal Official 1 | A Speaker Here Assistant Secretary of Agricul ture George L. Mehren discussed one of the most sensitive spots in the beef cattle industry here Monday—the orderly and depend able marketing of beef and other foods. The U. S. Department of Ag- cuture official, a speaker during the third Coordinated Beef Im provement Conference July 18- 20 at Texas A&M University, said there is relentless pressure toward more regularity, dependa bility and more systematic order in marketing of all foods, beef in particular. About 500 leading stockmen, economists, editors and meat pro cessors and distributors' heard the secretary describe how stand ardization and narrow specifica tion of quality are changing the whole marketing picture. “All this pressure for reliable, systematic marketing — turned out to specifications like nuts and bolts—is in basic conflict with the anatomy of live critters and the biological processes of their production,” Mehren said. “Much can be done genetically and by ranch and feeding opera tions to get uniformity. Yet, beef cattle simply do not come in standard sizes and shapes.” ★ ★ ★ Texas A&M Exchange Store Manager Carl E.
