THE BATTALION

Debate Teams Win 6 Of 14
Silver Taps
At A&M
Texas A&M debate teams of
sophomores and a freshman won
six of 14 matches in the South
west Conference meet at Lubbock.
Competing against varsity de
baters in one division tourney,
A&M beat Texas, Arkansas, SMU
You hear about the Ag-gie Band
And the Spirit of Ag-gieland..
But few have heard the Farewell Hymn
Of Silver Taps at A&M.
Board Accept
All day the flag - flies at halfmast.
A sign to us of a solemn task,
To bid farewell to one who’s gone.
With Silver Taps, he’s not alone.
The night is dark and very still.
Where Sully stands the area fills
With a silent crowd of those who care.
Their hearts all joined in silent prayer.
The Ross Volunteers, the honor guard,
Speak for us all as their guns discharge.
Twenty one guns now blast the air
And fade away in the darkness there.
Then taps blows loud from the tower near.
And twice again so faint, yet clear.
Like rustling wings of a soul in flight,
Silver Taps fades in the night.
You stand spellbound, you scarcely breathe.
With heavy heart you turn to leave.
You Aggie friend no more you’ll see,
Till Silver Taps is blown for thee.
Silver Taps at A&M
Will always be our farewell hymn
To those who’ve gone to heights unknown.
With Silver Taps, he journeys on.

Wildlife Science Receives
$195,632 For Water Study
Denison, Patton
Present Papers at
Engineering Meet
Professors John S. Denison and
A. D. Patton presented papers at
the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers’ winter
power meeting in New York.
Denison, acting department
head of electrical engineering,
presented “Continuing Education
in Power at Texas A&M Univer
sity.”
Patton chaired and sat on sev
eral committees in addition to
giving “Determination and An
alysis of Data for Reliability
Studies.” He was chairman of
the task group on reliability of
overhead distribution systems
and served with three other
groups.
The Wildlife Science Depart
ment has been named to conduct
a $195,632 research project to
determine effects of heated water
discharged into fresh and salt
water on fish and other aquatic
anamils.
The research, formulated in co
operation with the Electric Power
Institute at Texas A&M, is spon
sored by 14 companies, municipali
ties or state agencies which oper
ate electric power generating
equipment.
John Denison, Electric Power
Institute executive director, said
sponsors are interested in the re
search project because many of
their plants draw large quantities
of water from reservoirs, streams
and bays to cool condensing units.
After being heated in the cooling
process, the water is discharged
into its original source.
DR. RICHARD J. Baldauf,
A&M Wildlife Science Depart
ment acting head, said Dr. Kirk
Strawn, an associate professor
with 15 years’ research experi
ence in relationship of tempera
tures to the biology of fish, will
direct the three and one-half year
study.
Other research participants in
clude Baldauf, wildlife science in
structor Van Conner, a fisheries
biologist to be named, four gradu
ate assistants and several part-
time field assistants.
Dr. Baldauf said the first six
months of the project involve
preparation for research in three
fresh water eservoirs and a coast
al salt water site.
Denison said sponsoring organ
izations include the City of Aus
tin, Brazos Electric Power Cooper
ative of Waco, Central Power and
Light Company of Corpus Christi,
City Public Service Board of San
Antonio, Dallas Power and Light
