More Dominicans
Arrive At A&M
On AID Program
Twenty-eight new Dominican
Republic students have arrived
here for study under Agency for
International Development-spon
sored scholarships.
The 28 students will start an
intensive English training pro
gram and enroll as regular stu
dents in the School of Agricul
ture next September, according
to W. E. (Bill) Beach, Domini
can Republic programs coordina
tor of the International Pro
grams Office.
“We now have 67 Dominicans
at A&M under AID scholar
ships,” Beach noted.
“This is the only AID spon
sored group selected entirely on
academic and leadership abili
ties, without regard to language
training,” he added.
The group includes three staff
members and eight recent grad
uates of the Institute Superior
Agricultura, an A&M-Ford Foun
dation project; and two 1967
graduates each of the Mocha and
Loyola Agricultural Schools. The
other 13 are employes of the Min
istry of Agriculture.
The A&M contract with AID-
Dominican Republic has the goal
of training 100 students for bach
elor degrees in agriculture,
Beach pointed out.

Duo Makes Central American Trek
Two Texas A&M students will
make a summer trek to Central
America to study taxonomy and
distribution of bats.
Wildlife Science students Rich
ard La Val of Florissant, Mo.,
and Terry C. Maxwell of San An-
/tonio hope to capture more than
1,000 bats in Nicaragua, Hon
duras and possibly El Salvador.
La Val is a doctoral candidate
and Maxwell is a senior.
“We’re going to explore caves,
streams and other places and
catch bats with our hands, but
terfly and mist nets,” La Val
commented. “There are more
than 100 different kinds of bats
in that area.”
Dr. Carter said a three-month
research excursion to the area
this fall will complete the study.
La Val and Maxwell are hope
ful their trip won’t be as adven
turous as a recent research visit
to the same area by Carter, La
Val and Tom Webb, a graduate
student from El Paso.

New Device To
Invented By EE
Purify Air
Scientist
“We had no sooner driven into
Guatemala City until we were ar
rested by military authorities as
suspects in the assassination of
the Guatemalan Air Force'pub
lic relations chief,” Carter re
called.
“Lt. Col. Eduardo Enrique Fi
gueroa had been murdered the
morning we drove into town,” he
went on. “When soldiers stopped
our car and found a lot of guns,
we were thrown in jail without
further questioning. They didn’t
want to see our identification or
anything. It was a real shock.”
“The jail was crowded with de- .
serters and other Army crimi
nals,” he continued. “Everybody
was fed beans in dirty plates ex
cept us. The commandant of the
post arrived early the next morn
ing and released us immediately.
He was very apologetic.”
“It was an interesting experi
ence,” Carter chuckled, “but we
didn’t stick around long.
A Texas A&M scientist has in
vented a device which he hopes
will aid man in curing air pol
lution woes.
The device, which Dr. Nicholas
Gothard built after several years
work on the theory, purifies air
by trapping unwanted contami
nating particles with an electri
cal field.
The laboratory model is a
metal cylinder with an electrode
inside. About 20,000 volts is ap
plied to the system. This is
about as much voltage as there
is on an ordinary television set.
Filled with smoke, the cylinder
clears itself in a few seconds
when the voltage is applied.
Dr. Gothard notes there are
many electrically-activated sys
tems used in air purfication in
commerce and industry today,
“BUT THESE depend on charg
ing the contaminating particle it
self, perhaps by a screen, and
then attracting it by a charge of
opposite polarity,” he pointed
out.
In Dr. Gothard’s device, how
ever, the particles receive no
charge. They are brought to fil
tering material around the cen
tral electrode by what Dr. Goth
ard says is a “converging electri
cal field.” This is roughly simi
lar to the principle whereby a
comb run through the hair will
pick up bits of paper.
Dr. Gothard says he has ex
perimented with cigarette and
oil smoke, dust and water vapor
and finds all are cleared from air
by the device.
An assistant professor of elec
trical engineering at A&M, Dr.
Gothard built the device during
off-time hours around home.
A FUTURE application might
be filtering unwanted auto ex
haust fumes which ultimately
produce smoke. The hydrocarbons
could be collected by such a de
vice in the exhaust system which
would operate off the car’s elec
trical system. Dr. Gothard is
hoping to develop several appli
cations in collaboration with Don
Dale of College Station.
Other applications might be
the removal of pollen, dust and
humidity for people with aller
gies. Or it could be used in cars
where a combination of air con-
Infrared emissions from Jupiter
indicate the planet radiates four
times as much energy as it gets
from the sun.

ditioning and cigarette smoke
produces stinging of eyes.
Dr. Gothard notes cigarette
smoke is one of the hardest
things to filter with conventional
devices because the individual
particles are so small. From ex
periments with cigarette smoke,
he is confident his device does it
with high efficiency.
....“IT WILL even i-emove smells
“IT WILL EVEN remove
smells,” Gothard said. “Blow
perfume in one end and you can’t
smell it at the other.”
In development, higher volt
ages probably will be tried.
Since the attraction point of
the pollution is the electrode in
side the cylinder, the covering
filter would have to be removed
periodically.
