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

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

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

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.
