The head of A&M’s Recreation and Parks Department, Dr. Leslie FM 60 Alloted More Surfacing AUSTIN CP) — The Highway Commission authorized today more surfacing for a 5.5-mile sec tion of Farm 60 in Brazos Coun ty (Bryan). The section, from .5 mile south west of Farm 2154 southwest to the east edge of the Brazos River bridge, would cost an estimated $34,700. M. Reid, said the professor’s spe cific work areas will include wa tershed, metropolitan and trade aiea planning. He will also ex plore opportunities for offering courses designed for Extension personnel. “Dr. Suggitt will attempt to determine how recreation fits into these fields and will study the role of recreation in modern society,” Reid said. Suggitt was born in Canada in 1919, attended high school in Illi nois and was graduated from Michigan State University in 1942 with a BS degree in soil classifica tion and land use planning. His MS degree and Doctor of Public Administration degree came in 1952 and 1956 at Harvard Univer sity. From 1952-59, he was professor and head of the Michigan State University’s unique Department of Resource Development, which in cludes community development, land use planning, parks and rec reation, soil and water conserva tion, and watershed management. During the period 1959-61, the professor was project coordinator CASA CHAPULTEPEC BIG 4 DAY SALE—THURS., FRL, SAT., & SUN.

A better idea never came out of a crystal ball At Ford Motor Company we’re always looking for better ideas. But not with a crystal ball. We do it with background and brain. We do it by seeking answers for down-to- earth questions such as: Should a profitable central city dealership-be relocated to a growing suburban location? What’s the sales potential for a new personal car? And we do it by trying to solve problems that haven’t been faced till now. Problems such as: Is an electric car the answer to city traffic? How will people travel in the year 2000? In short, our better ideas come from better people. And we take extra steps to get them. Ford Motor Company has a College Graduate Program which provides immediate opportunities for indi vidual development. In our rotational assignment system graduates are assured broad training and constant visibility to management. Right now, new products, new marketing programs, new subsidiary operations here and abroad are creating new jobs. One could be yours. For more information, write our College Recruiting Department. Or better yet, schedule an appointment through your placement office to talk with our representa tive. He’ll be on campus soon—looking for better people with better ideas. THE AMERICAN ROAD • DEARBORN. MICHIGAN *AN EOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Technology Is Discussed At Industries Symposium Technology in the next decade will be strongly influenced by federal and state government sup port, an expert said here Wednes day. Dr. John G. Truxal, provost for Polytechnic Institute of Brook lyn, focused his remarks on the research needed for technological changes in industry and other fields. An estimated 415 participants in the 22nd Annual Symposium for the Process Industries, meet ing at A&M’s Memorial Student Center, heard Dr. Truxal comment on social and political problems of urban environment. “Communication is a major problem blocking the progress of technology in urban areas,” Trux al said. “Political leaders have no time for fundamental techni cal problems because of day-to- day crises confronting them. And we have some over-zealous techni cal people who think they could solve everything if they could just get some help.” TRUXAL A specialist in con trol systems engineering, pointed to other difficulties. “Data for most urban problems does not exist in most cases,” he noted. “And after the data is obtained, the problem remains of reducing that data into a single mathematical model.” The speaker used the problem of disposing of solid garbage in New York City to illustrate the complexity of the urban system. He said four pounds of solid gar bage per person per day amounts to 16,000 tons. “What do you do with it?” he asked. “Burning it creates an air pollution problem. Compress ing and packaging it creates a multitude of problems. Truck collections would cause a monu mental traffic problem.” A&M Prof Acts As Chairman Of Houston Confab Dr. J. George H. Thompson, me chanical engineering professor, will act as technical chairman for a national conference April 2-5 in Houston. Eight technical sessions are scheduled for the national Ameri can Society of Mechanical Engi neers’ Metals Engineering Confer ence at Hotel America. Dr. Thompson said 30 technical papers and panel discussions by authorities of the United States and Europe will give a broad pic ture of latest international thoughts concerning engineering materials. Conferees will explore recent developments in design, fretting, wear, surface properties, brittle fracture, pressure vessels, creep and trends in material behavior. Truxal said instrumentation can be especially helpful in mass tran sit problems. He called for the dynamic scheduling of buses through computer scheduling. “INSTRUMENTATION could be developed so that a rider could put a card with his destination on it into a computer as he boards a bus, and quickly receive instruc tions for transfers to reach that destination in minimum time,” he commented. Other applications of instru- mentation technology, Truxal ex plained, could be beneficial in traffic control, air pollution, edu- cation, medical practice and an urban earthquake network. A&M President Earl Rudder welcomed the conferees, noting that the growth and success of the nation and Texas depends to a large degree on the work of the instrumentation industry. He assured them that A&M is busy training people to take leader ship positions in industry. OTHER speakers included Dr, C. D. Holland, head of the spon soring Chemical Engineering De partment, symposium director Dr, R. G. Anthony, and the sympos ium founder, Dr. James Lindsey, The conference continues through Friday. Nine technical papers and a panel discussion are other features of the conference. Educational exhibits from instru mentation and control system firms are on display in the MSC.
