explained the role of social sci
ences in the research program of
the USDA, according to Dr. Ty-
rus Timm, head
ment.

Upchurch said the Economic
Research Service works mainly
in the seven divisions of market
ing economics, farm production
economics, foreign regional an

trade, economic development, eco
nomic and statistical analysis and
natural resource economics.
Scott began work for Time in
Japan in 1941. He became contri
buting editor in 1943 and later

After graduation, what?
Will you begin your career as an
engineer or scientist or return to
school for an advanced degree?
15m can do both at NOL
If you are an engineer in the top third of your class or a scientist in the top quarter
of your class, NOL offers you the opportunity to begin your career in one of the world’s
great laboratories and, at the same time, go ahead with your plans for graduate study.
From the very beginning, new staff members have an oppor
tunity to contribute directly to significant projects ... to
be part of an organization where groups are small and
emphasis is on the individual.
NOL is a laboratory in the true meaning of the word, and
one of the largest and best-equipped laboratories in the
world. It is the nation's leading R&D establishment for
Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), the Navy's principal high
speed aeroballistics activity, and a leader in the develop
ment of new air and surface weapons. The spectrum of
research at NOL ranges from nuclear effects to acoustics
to explosives and materials. At NOL, weapons development
is carried through from inception to design to prototype
test and development. Since 1950, NOL has completed 209
new weapons and devices such as SUBR0C, nuclear depth
bombs, mines, projectile fuzes, underwater detection sys
tems, and components and design data for POLARIS,
TARTAR, TAL0S, TERRIER, ATLAS and TITAN missiles. A
civilian staff of over 3,000 people includes more than 1,000
professional engineers and scientists—experts with na
tional and international reputations. Extensive and unique
facilities embrace wind tunnels operating to Mach 17,
hypervelocity ballistic ranges, the world’s most exceptional
hydroballistic facility, shock tunnels, 300g centrifuge . . .
multi-million-dollar experimental facilities.
NOL offers you a graduate study program that is one of
the largest and most productive programs in the country.
Each year members of our professional staff receive M.S.’s
or Ph.D.’s through this program. NOL has a significant ad
vantage in its proximity to the University of Maryland. Many
NOL staff members hold permanent part-time positions on
the Maryland faculty, and graduate level courses are taught
at NOL every semester. Maryland also offers many courses
on its own campus—only minutes away—at times which
are convenient to and keyed to the special requirements
of NOL.
sile systems, instrumentation for weapons evaluation and
aeroballistics research, and performance of new concept
feasibility experiments.
Chemical Engineers and Chemists—for research and devel
opment pertaining to high-energy propellants and explo
sives; high polymers; molecular and crystal structures;
electrochemistry; high-temperature, high-pressure chemical
equilibrium studies; and the thermodynamics of high-
energy reactions.
Engineering Physicists and Physicists—theoretical and ex
perimental research in a wide range of areas including
signal processing, infrared radiation, acoustics, magnetic
and semi-conductive materials, and detonation physics;
plus weapon systems development and studies.

Master Plan Set
By System Board
■
'li
Texas A&M is preparing a two
pronged Master P\aw destgwad to
streamline future growth and
serve as a possible model for
other institutions of higher edu
cation.
Researchers will make growth
predictions for a 10-year period.
The Master Plan is a coopera
tive venture of the Texas College
and University System Coordi
nating Board and Texas A&M.
Research is supported by a
$48,000 Coordinating Board grant
matched by A&M.
Dr. Wayne C. Hall, A&M’s
academic vice president and grad
uate dean, has charge of the
planning effort. Dr. Charles Pin-
nell, associate graduate dean, is
project director for the parallel
studies.
THE MASTER Plan further
integrates and implements objec
tives of the Blueprint for Prog
ress developed in 1962 for A&M.
Dr. Hall said the new studies
will develop management strategy
to attain specific program goals
Priority for construction of addi
tional buildings, projected use of
utilities and traffic planning, and
evaluations of necessary financ
ing in all these areas are aims of
the research.
A&M’s findings will be pub
lished and presented to the Co
ordinating Board in February,
1968. Plans call for annual up
dating to meet changing needs,
UNIVERSITY goals in
struction, research and extension
are to be established by Att
Board of Directors following prs
liminary goal studies by a sta
ing committee, approval by Pres
dent Earl Rudder and the execu
tive committee.
Once established, over-all goals
will be utilized by the variois
colleges and departments to it
velop specific plans of action.
Development of plans for or
derly growth of the university ii
terms of land use, traffic, buili
ings and utilities is included it
the scond stage of the researds-
physical plant planning.
Dr. Pinnell said the secoti
stage will involve the School o!
Architecture, the Texas Trans
portation Institute, and the Phys
ical Plants Department.
THIRD PHASE of the researtt
is a study of long range financial
resources to carry out the pro
grams and facilities recommenl-
ed in the preceding phases.
The project’s steering commit
tee includes W. C. Freeman, T.D,
Cherry and A. D. Suttle Jr,
A&M vice presidents; Dr. C.l
Wootan, associate executive ofli
cer of the Texas Transportatiot
Institute; John E. Hutchisoi,
A&M Agricultural Extensiot
Service director; and James R
Gardner, architecture professor

McGraw, director of urban and
regional planning programs in
A&M’s Architecture School. Ap
proaches to planning for human
problems in the urban environ
ment will be evaluated. A&M
planning facilities and programs
will be described.
Frank McFarland of A&M’s
Texas Transportation Institute
will lead a seminar devoted to
consideration of the developing
crisis in urban transportation.
Emphasis will be placed on the
municipal government’s role in
fostering sound development of
transportation facilities. McFar
land will also outline current TTI
programs.
Seminar participants an:
speakers will contribute to dii-
cussions, noted Economics Pro
fessor Claude Bitner, seminal
project director.
“The purpose of the program
is to foster a mutually beneficial
exchange of ideas, informatioi
and experience between academi
cians interested in urban prob
lems and the administrators ani
community leaders who nwat
cope with the problems continu
ously in their jobs,” Bitner said-
CITY administrators from
Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur,
Texas City, LaMarque, Foil
Neches, Nederland, Baytown ani
Bellaire have participated in tbi
series of seminar discussion!.
Allen Pulsipher of the Economici
Department is assistant project
director. Permanent panelists in
clude W. E. Benton of the History
and Government Department ami
