The facility is one of nine major A&M radiation sources surveyed by the health physicist. A&M Teaches Scientists For Nuclear Science Texas A&M trains scientists in a new profession in the field of nuclear science, one made neces sary by vast amounts of radio active material employed in re search. Health physicists take part in research involving radioactive matetrial and has a direct hand in procedure of experiments of increasing variety. He holds the “reins” on proj ects that bombard a seed with radiation to produce an onion large as a pumpkin, pierce metals with gamma rays to determine molecular changes and irradiates mice and goats to find man’s radiation threshold. Need for health physicists has developed as application of radia tion as a research tool grows. “Uses only scratch the sur face,” said A&M’s Nuclear En ginering Department head, Dr. Robert G. Cochran. Nuclear sci ence is growing faster than safe ty specialists can be supplied, he added. ‘Radiation safety is a relative ly new profession, still in its in fancy,” the professor declared. ‘Students entering the field will get in on the ground floor. Op portunities are abundant.” “Rules, regulations and licens ing procedures necessitate his presence,” noted Dr. George M. Krise, zoologist of the Radiation Biology Laboratory at A&M. “More power reactors and re quirements for more power will increase demands for him. Safety officers conduct radia tion surveillance of facilities and experiments to check project safety of the experiment, ex perimenters and local populace, should something go wrong. At A&M, the health physicist studies in master and doctoral degree programs with necessary facilities at his fingertips. A 100 kilowatt nuclear reactor, 88-inch variable energy cyclotron to go into operation this sum mer, low power training reactor, data procesing center equipped with a 21-unit 709, 650 and two 1401 computers, biology radia tion, dosimetry, nuclear measure ments and instructional purposes. Men with proper bachelor de gree backgrounds in physics, en gineering, mathematics, chemis try and biology may study under one of several available assist- anceships or fellowships to enter a field that has one trained spe cialist for each three jobs availa ble. Health physicists may expect a high starting income, ranging to $12,000 a year or more, noted Cochran. ‘He will most likely be em ployed as a radiation safety offi cer, developing safety measures. The field is expanding rapidly in the Southwest. He won’t have to leave home to get work,” Cochran went on. The A&M health physics pro gram, created under nuclear en gineering, is two years old. Head ing the program next fall will be Dr. Richard D. Neff, coming from Michigan State in July. The program will be set under a com mittee of Neff, Cochran and Krise. A&M is one of 10 schools in the Atomic Energy Commission health physics program. The uni versity has the largest radio active license of any South or Southwest school. The health physicist must know the effects of radiation in bio- logy, physical interaction of radiation with matter, new ways of making and cracking chemical compounds, effects of radiation in metallurgy, isotope separation and fuel procesing, according to A&M’s RSO, John Simek. ‘It’s a unique field of many curriculums and potentially haz ardous, though through regula tions, strict controls and the quality of people involved it’s safer than driving an automo bile,” he remarked. “People get more radiation dur ing a day on the beach than I get in my job,” Simek contin ued. “Knowledge required pre cludes it. We don’t fear radia tion, but we respect it.” The health physicist must have common sense, a steady hand and ability to get along and com municate with experts in many fields, he said. ‘He works nearer the edge of pure knowledge than perhaps any other discipline,” remarked Coch ran. “It’s a very exciting exper ience.” Cobb Awarded Scholarship Lance Cobb, three-year Texas A&M baseball star from Fort Worth, has been awarded a $1,000 scholarship for postgraduate stu dy by the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s postgrad uate scholarship committee. Cobb, two-time all-SWC and an all-America in baseball, will work on a masters degree in physics at the University of Denver. Cobb was one of nine honorees in the university division across the nation. The Fort Worth product, a graduate of Paschal High, posted a 2.31 grade point average for four years at A&M. He majored in physics and had 139 hours and 322 grade points. He was on the Distinguished Student’s list for four semesters. He won three varsity baseball letters, made the all-Southwest Conference team his sophomore and junior years and all-America his sophomore year.
