Buford, who has just finished a four-year tour of duty as advisor-director of the Insti tute Superior de Agricultura in the Dominican Republic, has re ceived one of that country’s high est honors to civilians. The award, presented person ally by the Republic’s president, Dr. Joaquin Balaguer, was the decoration of the Order of Du arte, Sanchez y Mella. The order is named after his torical heroes of the Dominican Republic. Duarte is considered the counterpart of the United States’ George Washington. Buford directed construction and headed the Institute Superior de Agricultura (an agricultural high school), which is one of Tex as A&M University-administered programs in the Republic. It was established through Ford Founda tion support. The other program grew out of a $1.5 million contract which A&M signed with the U. S. Agen cy for International Development (AID) to organize a system to improve agricultural research and extension services in that island nation. Both projects are administered through A&M’s Office of Interna tional Programs. President Balaguer, in present ing the Order of Duarte, Sanchez y Mella to Buford, described the award as “the highest distinction in the Republic for those who have given eminent services to the country.” The award consisted of a large, elaborately engraved medal, a lapel pin and a large scroll. “This honor and the fact that the school is established and thriving have given me the kind of satisfaction I wouldn’t have received at home in a routine job. I have the feeling that I and my associates really helped a people that needed help. I felt that we helped build a school from the cornerstone phase,” Buford said. The “cornerstone phase” is right. When Buford arrived at the future school site near Santiago in 1963, the situation didn’t look promising. “None of the scenery lent itself to development, especially the selected school site,” the director recalled. “After crossing a deep gully and traveling up a steep slope to the prospective school campus, we saw the remains of an old farm house, mesquite and palm in an old field. My first reaction was ‘This is impossible.’ ” But Buford and his colleagues, such as Advisor-Dean J. Wallace Hawkins, stuck with the job and progressed. His wife, son and daughter were there to lend sup port. In the beginning there was the old farm house and 350 acres of land. Today there are 28 modern buildings, land holdings have doubled, and the entire physical plant is valued at about $1.3 mil lion. There are 15 teachers (all Dominicans) 47 dairy cattle, 210 hogs, and five tractors and imple ments. Facilities include class rooms, chemistry, physics and biology laboratories, livestock and poultry barns, machinery sheds, plant science and soil science lab oratories, and an irrigation sys tem. Buford said the student body now stands about 180, with 80 new and highly selected students admitted each year. The students need no money. They attend on scholarships provided by Domini can Republic citizens. Dr. Jack Gray, director of the A&M Office of International Pro grams, said the institute is one of the few schools in the Domini can Republic to train students to the level that will allow them to apply to any agricultural college or university in the U.

Department of Transportation officials said Thursday the train was completed last week at the Pullman Car Works plant in Chi cago and has made a successful first run at low speed. Plans call for a series of night tests on the Rock Island Railroad facilities in Illinois before the train will be unveiled to the public. The gas turbine train was built by the United Aircraft Corp.’s Systems Center, headquartered at Farmington, Conn., and event ually will be leased to the gov ernment for a million dollars a year. The gas turbine train is to be gin a series of test runs this sum mer on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad between Bos ton and Providence, R.I. The three-car train will provide ac commodations for 156 passengers and cut the travel time between the two cities from the current 54 minutes to 38 minutes, with two stops. Some transportation officials describe the gas turbine engine as the most important step forward in the railroad industry since the development of diesel engines. Plans have been made to display the new train at a number of New England cities before it goes into operation. The train will be capable of traveling up to 160 miles per hour but sources said it will not be tested at that speed until further research is completed. I.E. Students Take Honors Two A&M industrial engineer ing graduate students won top prizes in a technical paper com petition recently in Houston. They are Leonard Lamberson, a Ph.D. candidate and assistant pro fessor with the department, and Sidney T. Brown. Lamberson won the first place award of $50 and Brown won $25 for second prize. The competition was sponsored by the South Texas Section of the American Society of Quality Con trol in order to stimulate interest in quality control and related areas. Students from the Uni versity of Houston and A&M com peted. The first-place winner, “A Graphical Technique for Text Evaluation and Quality Assess ment,” consisted of detailed ac counts of uses of the normal prob ability paper in product testing and evaluation, Lamberson noted. Brown’s topic was “Weighted Estimation of Run-Out Cost.” Chapel Celebrates Folk Song Mass On Trinity Sunday, May 21, choir and instruments will offer the popular American Folk Mass by Fr. Ian Mitchell. At both the 9:40 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services the folk music setting for the Holy Communion will be used. Bishop Burill of Chicago says: “We live in an age when the Church is trying to modernize its liturgies. It seems fitting that our music, which has been static for years, follow this modem trend. For centuries the music of the Eucharist has been the popular music of the day. And Fr. Mitch ell’s folk mass is a significant ex pression of a deep need within the Church to express her wor ship in contemporary terms now.” St. Thomas’ choir under the leadership of Dr. Lannes Hope will be assisted by these instru mentalists: Jim Boone, banjo and harmonica; Bob and Larry, guitars; Jan Want, mandolin and tambourine; Cleve Want, 12 string guitar; Rick Moses, electric bass guitar. Badgett Receives National Award Howard Badgett, physical plants manager for the Texas A&M Uni versity System, has received a certificate of meritorious service from a national association.
