Industrial psychology will be instructed by Dr. James M. El liott, department assistant pro fessor. The three-credit hour course is set Thursdays 5 to 8 p.m. The course will include study of current research and literature in industrial psychology with em phasis on personnel selection, training of skilled and manager ial personnel, man-machine sys tems and employe motivation and morale, Dr. Elliott said.

Air ROTC Cadets May Apply For 3,000 Scholarships Air Force ROTC cadets who will be sophomores, juniors and seniors in September may apply for 3,000 scholarships for 1967-68, Col. Vernon L. Head, professor of aerospace studies, announced. Qualified cadets at 140 col leges and universities with four- year Air Force ROTC programs will be awarded the scholarships by the Air Force. Tuition, fees, an allowance for books and a non-taxable $50-per-month stip end are provided by the schol arships. A&M cadets meeting minimum 1.6 grade point ratio, AFOQT and physical examination require ments meet an interview board of Air Force detachment officers and deans. Board findings and other material is sent to Max well AFB in the spring. The Air Force selects scholar ship recipients with each detach ment assured a minimum of one at each class level, Colonel Head said. Selected cadets will be noti fied before registration next Sep tember. Beat t.u. Banker Is Guest At Finance Club H. E. Burgess, president of Community Savings and Loan Association of College Station, will be the guest speaker for the Finance Club at 7:30 p.m. Wed nesday in Room 208 of Francis Hall. Hector Gutierrez of the pub licity committee will propose a plan of investment for the club. His idea is for all club members to invest a small sum, probably $6, in a common fund. Stocks would be bought with the avail able money and kept until the end of the semester. They would then be sold and the money from the sale given back to the investors, hopefully more than they had in vested. Other discussion topics will be plans for a field trip and a re view of the book “Understanding Put and Call Options.” Beat t.u.

McCandless, as sociate dean of liberal arts at Texas A&M, uses his counseling degree to its fullest capacity. Dr. McCandless, who has de grees from both Texas A&M and North Texas University, counsels students in nearly all realms of academic, and non-academic prob lems. He received his B.A. degree in health and physical education and M.A. degree in Counseling Ad ministration from Texas A&M, and his Ph.D. in Counseling and personnel administration from North Texas University. Dr. McCandless has found that students adding and dropping courses late is a big problem. He also helps liberal arts students with problems of petitions, de gree plans, difficulty in graduat ing and scholastic probation. He said that he also advised students concerning personal problems. Transfer students who want credit for courses that are not offered here, such as in the field of elementary education, come to Dr. McCandless for help. “Ultimately we have to rule,” he said. Sometimes the credits can be transferred and sometimes the courses cannot be accepted. “A lot of students have prob lems in deciding what curriculum they want to follow,” he added. As a former student, McCand less has one claim to fame that has thus far gone unnoticed. He is responsible for the Health and . Physical Education Department having a special identifying auto sticker for its students. H e planned and promoted the sticker when he was president of the Health and Physical Education Club at A&M.

Beat J;. u. 13 Aggies ‘Coin’ Fishing 9 On 90-Day Trip To Pacific By MIKE PLAKE Battalion Sports Writer A team of 13 Aggie scientists and technicians will leave Satur day on a 90-day “fishing trip” in the Eastern Pacific. John D. Cochrane, associate professor of oceanography, will direct A&M’s operations on-board the “Alaminos”. The expedition will leave Galveston to cooperate in research being done off the coast of South America. However, the A&M personnel will not be doing much “fishing” as the layman knows it. The re search will be in the area of ocean currents, temperatures, locations, and salinity. They will be part of an overall $6 million propect called Eastropac (Eastern Tropi cal Pacific). THE OVERALL program of Eastropac calls for an investiga tion of the Pacific coasts of North, Central, and South America on the east, bordered by the 130th western meridan and the 20 de gree north and south parallels. The data accumulated by Eas tropac will be used to determine how commercial fishermen can make larger and more profitable catches to keep up with the in creasing world market. If envir onmental conditions in the sea are found capable of sustaining schools of tuna and other commer cial fish, U.S. fisheries may begin operations in that area. It could increase the present annual catch from 55, to about $80 imllion. SEVERAL NEW instruments are being employed on the cruise. During underway observation, me chanical and electronic Bathy thermographs will be used to rec ord water temperatures at differ ent depths. The mechanical BT’s, resembling small torpedoes, are dragged behind the ship in its travel path on a cable. At cer tain prearranged depths, they rec ord the temperatures on a glass slide. The mechanical BT is then retrieved and the slide used for data accumulation. THE ELECTRONIC BT’s oper ate on a different principle. A heat-sensing device transmits the temperatures to a unit on-board. These messages are relayed to a Coast Guard station in La Joy a, California. After transmitting the tempera tures, the electronic BT’s are ex pended. The mechanical BT’s are re-useable. Another “stand-by” instrument to be used is the Nansen Bottle. Long used by oceanographic re searchers, the Nansen Bottle col lects water samples at various depths. Intricate containers are placed inside the metal bottles, and the intake valve on the bottles are pre-set to certain depths. After Balt men Take Finals Break There will be no issue of the Battalion Wednesday or Friday. During Final Week and registration week, the Battalion will only be published on Thursdays. Regular pub lication will resume Feb. 7. Holy Exams! reaching the depths, the valves are tripped shut, and the water trap ped in the container. This gives an accurate indication of pressure layers in different currents. OCEANOGRAPHERS are not the only researchers on the trip, however. “Meteorologists are also parti cipating on this trip,” Dean Letz- ring, chief technician, said. “They constructed a boom over the bow (See 13 Aggies, Page 2) Over 300 students filed through the Housing Office Monday as the first session of “first-come, first-served” housing changes for the second semester began. Housing Manager Allan M.

U. S. District Judge Oliver Gasch took under study a motion to dismiss the charges against Baker because of eavesdropping in the case, and the trial contin ued. Baker, 38, one-time secretary to the Senate Democrats, is charged with income tax evasion in 1961-62, conspiracy and other offenses involving financial deal ings. Wayne L. Bromley, a Washing ton attorney who said he is now unemployed and once was a close friend of Baker, testified that he carried the “bugging” device on his person at a meeting in a Los Angeles hotel room, March 26, 1965. He said those in the room included Baker, Clifford Jones, former lieutenant governor of Ne vada, and himself. The jury was excused from the courtroom while Bromley gave his testimony about the bugging. Later, with the jury back, he told of receiving checks made payable to him, of cashing them and turning the money over to Baker. His testimony included accounts of: —Payment of a $5,000 fee to be split between Baker and Brom ley for expediting the charter for the Redwood National Bank, San Rafael, Calif. —Checks totaling $14,000 from First Western Financial Corp., Las Vegas, in 1963-64, made pay able to Bromley. Bromley said of each of these checks but one, “I cashed it and gave the money to Mr. Baker.” On one, he said, he borrowed the $1,000 from Baker. —Checks totaling $6,000 from United States Freight, New York, also made payable to Bromley but cashed for Baker, except for the last one, which the witness said was cashed by someone else. —A series of $1,000 checks from Harvey Aluminum, Tor rance, Calif. Beat t. u. The Alaminos Docked At Galveston said. About 20 to 30 students were in the hall of the YMCA basement outside the office at closing time Sunday, he added. The group was made up of stu dents wishing to reserve a room in a civilian dormitory for the second semester. Virtually all registering are changing from their present room. “THIS REGISTRATION con cerns several categories of stu dents,” Madeley explained, in cluding Corps members transfer ring to civilian status, civilians who for some reason failed to sign up for their present room during last week’s session, and people in dormitories 10 and 12 who also failed to sign up during the previous period.” Madeley said some spaces were still available at the end of the day, although there “isn’t much choice left now.” All air-condi tioned dormitories are filled for the spring semester, except for dormitory 22, which is primarily reserved for veterinary medicine students, foreign students and members of the Graduate College. “We still have some space, however,” he pointed out, “and we’ll still get some room cancel lations.” ABOUT 150 dormitory resi dents will be graduating at the end of this semester, he added. In addition, an undetermined number of students will be trans- ferring out of A&M, but no fig ures will be available until clear ance slips are turned in during final exam week. Madeley said his office is ex pecting around 200 mid-term ad ditions to the housing roster — about the same number of new students as last year. The largest category of hous ing changes during the final seg ment of second semester registra tion includes those by freshman cadets leaving the Corps. Offi cial estimates of the number have not yet been released. Beat t.u. Bands, Drill Teams In Austin Today Four bands and drill organiza tions from Bryan and College Station marched in the 70-unit Governor’s Inaugural Parade at 3 p.m. in Austin today. The Texas A&M Band and Ross Volunteers marched near the head of the parade. The Allen Military Academy band, color guard and drill team also covered the one-mile parade route. The Aggie Band, eighth unit in the parade, escorted Lt. Gov. Preston Smith, at his invitation. The RVs, the governor’s honor guard, flanked cars carrying Gov. John Connally and Smith. The balance of the unit marches 12th in the parade lineup. The procession formed on First Street for the march north on Congress Avenue to the Capitol. The reviewing stand was at 11th and Congress in front of the capi- tol building according to Lt. Col. E. V. Adams, A&M bandmaster. Units turned left on 11th Street and were released at 13th. The RVs formed on both Grants Awarded To Texas A&M To Aid Research The Texas College Coordinat ing Board has awarded matching grants totaling almost $75,000 to Texas A&M for two institu tional research projects proposed by the university, announced Dr. Frank W. R. Hubert, dean of A&M’s Liberal Arts College. Dean Hubert also said the board has given final approval for A&M to initiate a Ph.D. pro gram in economics. One of the research proposals authorized by the board involves application of scientific manage ment practices in academic ad ministration. The study will be financed by a $37,212 matching grant. The second proposal, support ed by funds totaling $37,370, pro vides for design of a model set of criteria in evaluating proposed new courses at state colleges and universities.

Weather Forecast To Begin Today As Batt Feature Weather forecasts prepared by the Texas A&M Meteorology De partment will be a regular fea ture in the Battalion, starting today. James W. Lightfoot, campus weather forecaster, said predic tions will be made as close to press time as possible in order to achieve the most accurate fore casts. The forecasts, which are avail able only to University-sponsored organizations, will be made using U. S. Weather Bureau informa tion plus an analysis of existing weather conditions in the area. Weather Bureau data is re ceived by two teletypes and a facsmile machine. Lightfoot stressed the fact that the A&M weather station is pri marily a teaching facility and forecasts will not be official. He said the only official forecasts come from the U. S. Weather Bureau, a government agency. Lightfoot now does all the forecasting himself, but he said if enrollment in meteorology showed sufficient increase, the task would be assigned to stu dents. He said the University of Pennsylvania is one of the few schools which has student fore casters. Besides its service to the Bat talion, the department furnishes weather reports to the Agricul ture Department and to the Phy sical Education Department for outdoor sports events. Beat t. u.
