Texas A&M and the City of
College Station have joined forces
in the fighting of fires in the
city and the surrounding county.
Until this year the Texas A&M
Fire Department fought all fires
on campus, in College Station and
outlying areas. The department
relied on volunteers, usually uni
versity employees, to man the
pumps.
In 1966 the Fire Protection
and Prevention Committee, a
joint committee of both College
Station residents and A&M per
sonnel, proposed that the city
share more in the fire fighting
duties and expenses.
Three systems have been set
up to spread the alaim when a
fire occurs.
When a fire breaks out during
duty hours in the day and is
considered to be minor, such as
a brush fire, bells in the Physical
Plant shops at the University
ring' and men in the shops man
the equipment.
A large fire during the same
hours sets the bells to ringing
and at the same time the siren
at the Physical Plant sends out
the alarm.
A 20-unit telephone system
alerts volunteers when a fire
breaks out at night. When an
alarm is called in to the fire de
partment a communications sys
tems operator dials a classified
number and the phones in the
homes of 20 volunteers through
out College Station begin ringing
simultaneously. They continue
ringing until they are answered
or the operator disconnects them.
A small siren is also set up
near the A&M rental houses
along South College Ave. for
night action.
The new system has been
placed under the control of E. F.
EDUCATION MAJOR
Merlyn Land, of College Station, will be a senior at A&M

College in El Paso.
10 Sophomores Are Winners
Of Air Force ROTC Grants
Preston Co-Authors Article
For Educational Journal
Dr. James D. Preston, of Texas
A&M University’s Department of
Agricultural Economics and Soci
ology, is co-author of the lead
article in the current issue of
THE JOURNAL OF ALCOHOL
EDUCATION.
The article deals with the use
of alcohol among high school
students and is based on the
drinking practices of a selected
sample of young Negroes and
whites from two types of South
ern communities.
According to Preston’s article,
about twenty-five percent of the
high school students are total
abstainers. Another two-fifths
drink only once a year.
Drinking behavior is found to
vary with such factors as age,
sex, religion, and with attitudes
and behavior toward alcohol of
parents.
Ten Texas A&M sophomores
have been named winners of Air
Force ROTC college financial
assistance grants, announced Col.
Vernon L. Head, professor of
aerospace studies at A&M.
The awards provide payment
of full tuition, incidental fees,
textbooks allowance and a $50
per month stipend during the
school year.
Colonel Head said the grants
are offered to competent and
professional-minded officer can
didates whose interest, academic
achievements and potential have
been singularly recognized. He
noted that major field and enroll
ment category had strong bear
ings in selecting winners.
Scholarship awardees include
Leonard E. Thorpe III, 4705 Dave
Creek Way, Neal M. Ely, 5618
Meletio Lane, Richard G. Lanier,
9105 Westglen, and Kenneth C.
Bresnen Jr., 3225 St. Croix, all

The scholarships are renew

that the current scholarship will
go into effect this fall.

A&M Geneticist Speaks In Reno
RENO, NEV.—To realize top
returns from beef cattle, calves
of different breeds with different
mature sizes have optimum
weights at which they should be
slaughtered, a Texas A&M animal
geneticist said here.
Dr. T. C. Cartwright of the
A&M Animal Science Departl-
ment, a speaker during the 59th
American Society of Animal Sci
ence meeting July 30-Aug. 3 at
the University of Nevada, de
scribed the optimum weights in
a project based on utilization of
total digestible nutrients (TDN).
He said that for most efficient
utilization, calves from sires and
dams of different sizes should be
marketed at different weights.
For example, the best slaughter
or marketing weight for an An
gus calf will be different than
that for a Charolais calf.
