THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, July 20, 1967 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle '^LLCome FIRfMew Summer Enrollment Includes Science Program Students Lamberson Receives Grant FromNationalOrganizatim Texas A&M’s usually diverse summer school enrollment an- ually includes more than 300 regular and special studertts at tending National Science Founda tion programs. The 1967 programs enroll 350 students from high school juniors through college teachers in 15 separate programs, according to records of Coleman M. Loyd, NSF Programs coordinator. Participants come from virtual ly all of the 50 states and from numerous countries around the world. “Keep this quiet, but if you want to see something, stop by about 10 o’clock tonight! We’re settin’ off th’ fire alarm to make them feel at home.” New City Name Search Closed The longest program, A&M’s Academic Year Institute which coincides with the regular long term, in 1966-67 included an Italian science teacehr, Stefano Accomazzi. Loyd has learned the State Department will send Nor wegian Kunt Jacobsen and his family for the 1967-68 AYI. Studies in computer science, physics, civil engineering, chem istry, earth science, plant science, marine biology, mathematics and geology are under some of A&M’s most prominent professors. College and junior college teachers work in programs di rected by Dr. A. W. Wortham, head of the Industrial Engineer ing Department which is conduct ing a training program for spe cialists at the U. S. Army’s Red River Arsenal; Dr. C. F. Squires, Physics Department head; Dr. C. H. Samson, Civil Engineering De partment head, physics professor Dr. O. D. Sittler and chemistry professor Dr. E. A. Meyers. Dr. David W. Rosberg, plant science head, supervises six col lege teachers and the Galveston Marine Lab director. Dr. Sammy Ray, has four high school teach ers as biological research par ticipants. Other junior high and high school teachers study in chemis try and earth science institutes under Dr. Fred Sicilio and Dr. M. C. Schroeder, who also heads the AYI program. Loyd considers 100 high-ability high school students in math, geology and engineering science summer training programs the cream of the crop. “Every participant in all the programs was selected from large numbers of applicants,” he said, “and our high school students are brilliant. They come from Two weeks ago The Battalion brought out the pro posal by Mayor D. A. Anderson of College Station to change the city’s name. At that time, a request was made that names be submitted to The Battalion that would reflect this city’s growth and development. The Battalion stated at that time that these names would be turned over to the Mayor after being published in a later edition. We believe that this campaign to register public feeling toward the proposal has been a tremendous success. In two surveys conducted by this newspaper, how ever, Texas A&M students and Bryan-College Station resi dents rejected a proposed name change almost three to one, but the success of this campagn lies in the fact that many students and citizens were interested enough to voice their opposition or approval for the proposal, and in some cases suggest new names for the city. The names submitted to The Battalion were: University City, A&M, Universe City, Aggieland, Tamu- ville, Prosperity, University Gardens, Action City, Lydon- ville and Rudder. Two other names submitted required some explana tion. One suggestion was Amuty, representing the initials of A&M Universilw^of Texas. Another wa3~ Maan, using the first letters of Marines, Air Force, Army, and Navy to make the city name. These names will now be submitted to the mayor and the city council for consideration. New Engineering Program Is Set Holland is Named To Plant Position Col. William E. Holland Jr., former deputy district engineer for the Corps of Engineers at Fort Worth, has been named as sistant director for maintenance and utilities at Texas A&M, an nounced Physical Plants Direc tor Walter H. Parson Jr. Holland, who received his civil engineering degree from A&M in 1943, retired from the Corps of Engineers earlier this year after more than 23 years of service. Prior to assuming his Fort Worth post, Holland served two At The Grove Tonight: “3:10 to Yuma” Friday: “Trojan Horse” Saturday: “Cash McCall” Sunday: “The Quiet Man” Monday: “They.Were..Expend able” Tuesday: “Attila” Wednesday: “Paleface” years as executive officer to the Corps of Engineers director in charge of constructing Minute- men intercontinental ballistic mis sile bases throughout the country. He joined the Army engineer ing group in 1943 and served in various line and staff positions both within the U. S. and abroad. In addition to holding a Bach elor of Science degree from Texas A&M, Holland earned a Master of Science degree in industrial engineering at New York Uni versity in 1955. After receiving his master’s, he served three years as professor of Military Science and Tactics at the Uni versity of Oklahoma. Holland, registered profession al engineer, succeeds Charles Skillman who recently resigned from A&M to become director of public works at Tampa, Fla. Holland, 47, is married and has three children. He was reared in Dallas. A new graduate program in coastal and ocean engineering has been announced by the Civil En gineering Department. Dr. Charles H. Sampson Jr., Civil Engineering Department head, said the work will supple ment the extensive graduate pro gram in A&M’s Oceanography Department. The program goes into efect this fall. Dr. John B. Herbich heads the Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division. Other staffers include associate professor Robert Schil ler and research assistant Jerry Machemehl. Coastal engineering, Samson explained, will emphasize princi ples governing conceptual formu lation, design and construction of coastal structures; sediment transportation along the shores and effect of man made struc tures on accretion and erosion; dredging and beach replenish ment programs; effect of man made structures on ecology of coastal and bay areas; and mod el laws for coastal and estuarine models. Samson said ocean engineer ing will deal with exploration and utilization of ocean re sources; design, construction, and operation of underwater pipelines and cables; deep-sea structures and submersibles. Also, he add ed, it will explore possibilities of deep-sea dredging and mining, and underwater habitats. Herbich announced a device to be used in studying waves is be ing constructed in the depart ment’s hydraulic laboratory. Called a wave channel, the re search facility will be 120 feet long, three feet deep and two feet wide. Waves can. be generated by wind and mechanical means, Her bich explained. A long range goal is to construct a three- dimensional wave tank for ad vanced research. THE BATTALION Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

Publisher Texas A&M University Reporter Pat Hill Sports Editor Jerry Grisham the top five per cent of the state’s age group.” The juniors study under Dr. William S. McCulley, math; Prof. Fred E. Smith, geology, and Dr. J. G. H. Thompson, mechanical engineering. While at A&M for six to eight-week periods, the talented students participate in various research projects and learn university programs inside out. High school and junior high teachers are selected for a par ticular field,” Loyd went on. “While many of them are not prepared for the particular sub ject under study, they generally have outstanding academic rec ords.” A revamped AYI program will enroll seven pre-service teachers this fall. “They are certificated teachers, but haven’t taught,” the NSF coordinator explained. Carry-over is a prominent feature of the NSF programs. “Every year, earth science and chemistry institutes participants become degree candidates and return summer after summer on their own,” Loyd said. He said AYI participants often become interested while in in- service institutes at Galveston and Temple. Last year’s AYI program in cluded Bob Wheeler, an Okla homa science teacher who rides the rodeo circuit to pay for his studies. “Wheeler’s probably the only rodeo rider with a masters de gree,” Loyd remarked. A nun attending a 1967 sum mer program wants to return to A&M fulltime to study for a masters degree. Leonard R. Lamberson of Tex as A&M has received a $2,000 dissertation research grant from the Systems and Procedures As sociation, a nation-wide organiza tion. The industrial engineering doctoral student was selected for the award from a group of appli cants on the basis of his disserta tion proposal. The grant will be paid on a monthly basis with one-half the amount to be awarded upon dis sertation completion. Grant stip ulations include SPA’s first op tion on dissertation publication and progress reports. Lamberson, who instructs part- time in the department headed by Dr. A. W. Wortham, said the dis sertation will be entitled “Con trolling Capital Flow in Project Scheduling.” The 29-year-old doctoral stu dent is from Big Rapids, Mick. He received the bachelor degit-j in mechanical engineering at tlf I General Motors Institute, Flirt | Mich., in 1961. His M.S. in in I dustrial engineering was awardt l at the University of North Car. j lina in 1963.
