Conference Speaker Outlines College Grad Requirements MULLINS By DANI PRESSWOOD Battalion News Editor Dean of Students James P. Hannigan affirmed before the Student Senate Thursday night university policy prohibiting on- campus solicitation of insurance to students. In a letter written to each in surance agency in the College Station-Bryan area, Hannigan said: “It (this letter) is written to clarify policies of the organiza tions on the A&M campus. “. . . In view of the fact that the average student’s time is ful ly occupied with his academic and extra curricular activities and with periods of quiet reserved for studying, it was decided that commercial salesmen would not be permitted to solicit or sell on the campus. “There is no objection whatso ever to insurance companies or agents sending through the U. S. mail literature to single students living in the dormitories and mar ried students living in any of the University apartments. “There is no objection whatso ever to students being invited to visit off-campus offices to dis cuss or to purchase insurance. “. . . The prohibition is again st agents’ operating on campus or in the University apartments.” Hannigan further informed the Senate that the university con sumer protection policy attempts to stop “fly-by-night” salemen (not limited to insurance sales men) and to keep salemen from CAMPBELL disturbing students in their “homes” during the quiet hours period each night. In addition, he said priority of concessions to students goes first to the classes attempting to raise more money for funds, giving them a monopoly on their items. Second priority is given to clubs and student organizations and last priority to individuals. In other action, Election Com mission Chairman Harris Pappas announced that filing for the gen eral election April 21 opens today and runs through April 13. Dr. J. M.

Hannigan Explains Policy On Insurance Solicitors Computers Tell Companies Where To Go Machines Calculate Power Systems By JAMES SIZEMORE Battalion Staff Writer Did you hear about the com puter that told a utility com pany where to go? Don M. Lyle and W. W. Eak- les of the Data Processing Cen ter have been using computers for the past six years to tell large power companies just where and how to more efficiently install their expensive equipment and how to handle various volt age problems. “Power systems are complex and expensive,” says Llye, “so utility companies must know how their system will behave in 15 years to provide efficiently for their customers.” To illustrate the expense en- volved Lyle points out that the large circuit breakers located at each end of a high voltage line may cost up to $462,000. Also, it costs around $85,000 per mile to install a 500,000 volt power line. Obviously, if a computer can eliminate an unnecessary cir cuit breaker or mile of transmis- First Bank & Trust now pays 4%% per annum on savings cer tificates. Adv. sion equipment, the savings would be considerable. Lyle points out that even though the cost of living has risen sharply in the past, the cost of electricial service has dropped steadily. This is due to the fact that utilities have allowed com puters to make detailed study and long range planning possible. The result has been a more efi- cient use of expensive equipment which has made possible lower costs. “The programs are designed to make the computer think it is a power system,” Lyle says. “The computer then gives answers to Easter Egg Hunt Scheduled Sunday The Apartment Council will hold their Annual Easter Egg hunt Sunday, according to Jim Dalton, council vice-president. The hunt will begin at 2 p.m. in Hensel Park and will be open to all residents of Hensel, College View and Southside apartments. Apartment Council activity card holders will be admitted free. Other apartment residents will be admitted for 50 cents per familq. several problems, such as loca tion of equipment, and tells where voltage drops occur.” To solve these problems by com puter, Lyle and Eakles have been using Gauss-Isdel and Relaxa tion Iterative Techniques. They apply these techniques, using a 7094 computer, to solve up to 800 simultaneous complex equations. The computer uses around 10 minutes to get through this num ber of equations. The load flow study in opera tion here is one of four large scale programs now in operation to handle large power systems. The other three are being conduct ed by General Electric, Westing- house and CEIR International Computer Service. The operation here began in 1959 and the techniques for solv ing the problems have been grow ing and modifying for six years. The current programs are doing analysis of problems similar to the Northeast Blackout in an at tempt to improve systems to pre vent blackouts. “In the six years of the study about one-third of the U.S. has been envolved,” says Lyle. “We have run systems simulation stu dies for companies all over the country plus Canada, Puerto Rico and, more recently, Tur key.” Lyle and Eakles are leaders in a national effort on a problem not yet solved — namely, Tran sient Voltage and Relay Coordi nate Analysis. Eakles was formerly the chief design engineer for Gulf States Utilities. Lyle is employed both by the Data Procesing Center and by the Electrical Power Institute and conducts his work here.
