r ii| Have New Italian Kohler Takes Cha irm a n sh ip For Meeting Texas A&M now has an un official “Aggie fan club” well established in Venice, Italy, con sisting of at least one devoted member. Fausto Bastianini, a citizen of Venice, wrote the following let ter to Texas A&M at the close of the last spring semester: This letter is to all Italy friends; My dear friends, my name is Fausto Bastianini, 24 years old, I live in Venice, a wonderful city on the sea. I work in a news paper as a teleprinter operator. My family and affections are far away and I am quite alone and sad sometime. And now I tell you why I am writing this letter and excuse me for bad language, but I am studying English by myself. I have read about your won derful athlete, Matson. He is fabulous, formidable! And my dream is this: I should like so much to have a shirt (cotton) of your university. Please, please content me. My size is medium. Please tell me if you want money for the shirt and postage or if you prefer something equivalent from Italy in exchange for you AN ITALIAN AGGIE, FAUSTO BASTIANINI New TTI Concept Is Total Visibility Keown Gives Math Paper At Oxford U. Total visibility is the key to a new technique developed by Texas A&M’s Texas Transporta tion Institute for illumination of complex freeway interchanges. First permanent installation of the new lighting system is sched uled for San Antonio, with the Texas Highway Department tak ing installation bids this week. The new system, which incor porates as many as ten 1,000-watt high as 120 feet, provides more uniform illumination over a wider area than conventional lighting and without as much glare, ex plains Charles J. Keese, TTI director. Conventional lighting consists of 400-watt lamps mounted on 40-foot poles. TTI researchers estimate each of the new towers will replace 11 of the standard lighting devices. Aside from improving visibil ity at critical intersections, the new system provides an addition al safety factor by reducing the number of hazardous poles along the right-of-way. The new sytem also has eco nomical applications for lighting straight sections of urban free ways. THD estimates a $115,000 savings by using 50-foot poles with 1,000-watt lamps on a 4.5 mile section of Interstate 35 in Austin. The section would have required about twice as many of the conventional devices, notes E. M. Carl of the THD design division. Texas A&M’s highway research organization began development of the new illumination technique more than three years ago. TTI is operating the illumin ation research program under a five-year $260,000 contract with the THD and teh U. S. Depart ment of Transportation’s Bureau of Public Roads. Dr. E. R. Keown, Texas A&M mathematics professor, will pre sent a joint paper during an international conference Aug. 29- Sept 2 at Oxford University, Ox ford, England. Dr. Keown’s paper, prepared jointly with P. G. Ruud, is en titled “The Computation of Irre ducible Representations of Finite Groups of Order 2 N , N 6.” The paper is an extension of research begun in 1963-64 while Keown was a member of MIT’s Solid State and Molecular Theory Group. Oxford’s international confer ence on abstract algebra is de signed to enable leading world scientists to consider new research discoveries. Dr. Keown earned his Ph.D. at MIT in 1950. He is author of “Some New Hilbert Algebras,” published in this month’s trans actions of the American Mathe matics Society. Keown also has written a mathematics textbook, “Introduction to Group Repre sentations.” We Really Need USED BOOKS And Are Prepared To Pay For Them Get the most for the least at LOUPOT'S ‘Where Aggies Trade” kindness. I pray you, dear friends for this. I wish so much for a shirt. It is not important if it is old or dirty. Good work and my best wishes for your happy holidays. Fausto Bastianini Upon receiving this letter, sev eral members of The Battalion staff began gathering various articles to send to the Italian Aggie fan. Enclosed in a package sent to him was an A&M “T” shirt, sweatshirt, decal, pennant and several brochures. Also in the package was a copy of The Battalion and an auto graphed picture of A&M’s Randy Matson, World Shot Put Cham pion. The package took more than two months to make the trip half way around the world, but a letter sent by Bastianini upon re ceiving it took several days. The letter read: Dear friends; Too much! Too much! Too much!!! I just now have opened your packet and jumped around my room full of happiness. How many wonderful things! I do not know how I can thank you for such great kindness and gen erosity. Your packet is a well without bottom, full of wonder ful items. The shirts are very nice and right for me. That white one I shall put on tomor row and when I go across St. Marcus Circus I hope to find a photographer for a photo that I’ll send to you. Then your newspaper, the de cal, the pamphlets of your won derful A&M University (I’ll read them with quietness, now I’m all shaken . . .) and the photo of fabulous Matson—I’ll put and the little pennant on the wall of my room with my most loved things. I thank you, I thank you so much with all my heart. Do you know two persons read ing my “Sound Off” in The Bat talion wrote to me ? One was a girl who wrote a long and nice letter by Italian language but she did not tell me her name. The other is now a dear friend, Bobby, who, with his wife, comes this autumn near my city; so we can meet and go together around Venezia and speak about the wonderful heart of Texas— Many many thanks again and my best regards for all students of A&M Universtiy.
