The primary concern of Civil Defense officials at Texas A&M with respect to Hurricane Beulah are cyclones spawned by the big tropical storm and winds in this area. Dr. Vance E. Moyer, A&M Meteorology Department head, said the meteorology and tornado warning division of CD which he heads is in a “wait and see” stand. The storm was outside the range of the department’s radar units Wednesday just before noon. “Our radar range is 400 miles, but at that distance we’re ‘look ing’ out over the hurricane due to radar’s line-of-sight character istics,” Moyer said. “This is a low-lying circulation and will not be visible on our scopes until it gets within 200 miles.” AT LUNCH time, Beulah was centered between Harlingen and Brownsville, moving northward overland at 10 mph, pai-alleling the coast . The meteorology head said a mass of cool air in Northern Texas is the biggest factor affect ing the hurricane’s movement. “If the high pressure area works down into the circulation system, it will wipe out the storm,” he noted. Moyer said it is unwise to try Richard K. Newman and Ernest D. Herrera, San Antonio. The students accompanied by Maj. Leo Magers, Maj. George Strebeck and Maj. Deward John son of A&M’s instructor group will depart Ellington AFB Sun day morning by C-47. Monday at 8:15 a.m., the group reports at NORAD Headquarters for a 9 a.m. briefing and tour of the large radar defense complex. A Monday afternoon briefing and tour of the Air Force Academy will be followed by dinner with three Air Force officers stationed at NORAD who attended A&M. Hosts include Lt. Frank D. Watson, Lt. James A. Smith and Lt. Tom Ross, A&M graduates of 1966. The cadets return to the campus Tuesday. to predict the storm’s path. If it continues along a curving track and moves back over the Gulf of Mexico, Beulah will maintain strength. Hurricanes lose energy rapidly in traveling over land. He pointed out that since most of Texas, particularly the South west, has been receiving rain, the moist ground and warm con ditions will not sap the storm as rapidly as usual. THE CIVIL Defense official said both radars are being oper ated on a 24-hour basis, survey ing tornadoes and severe thunder storms coming off the advance circulation of Beulah. Data was being collected on Paul W. Hilburn Jr. of Dim- mitt, who received his Master of Arts Degree in history this sum mer at Texas A&M University, has been appointed to the U. S. Foreign Service. Hilburn has reported to Wash ington, D. C., where he will un dergo 27 weeks of training before being assigned. Dr. J. M. Nance, History and Government Department head at A&M, praised Hilburn as a man of sound principles. “Hilburn has done a good job as a graduate and undergraduate student in history,” Nance re marked. “I’m sure he will render an excellent service with our State Department.” As an undergraduate at A&M, Hilburn earned distinguished stu dent status three times and was a distinguished military graduate in Air Force ROTC. He earned a Scottish Rite Foundation of Texas Scholarship to George Washington University where he studied public administration. While at George Washington, Hilburn worked half-time in the Presidential Paper s Section of the Library of Congress. After a year in Washington, Hilburn was called to active duty as an Air Force officer. He served in base comptrollers of- Bryan Building & Loan Association, Your Sav ings Center, since 1919. —Adv. tornadoes, wind and rain in the South Texas severe weather alert ed area Wednesday. The professor said movement of high winds into the Bryan- College Station area may neces sitate emergency action. “If steady 35 knot winds reach here, we may have to evacuate College View,” he noted. “Peak gusts at that rate will be near 75 knots.” College View is com posed of frame apartments for married students at A&M.

Hilburn, a graduate of Evant High School, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul W. Hilburn, 711 W. Stinson, Dimmitt. By DAVE MAYES Texas A&M continued to grow rapidly this summer as numerous construction projects involving millions of dollars dotted the campus. The Biological Sciences Build ing, just completed last Aug. 20 at a cost of $3 million, housfes four electron microscope research rooms. To reduce the chances of stray electrical charges disrupt ing the delicate instruments, eaoh microscope room was completely encased in copper wire mesh. Opposite the Biological Sciences building is the Cushing Library addition, a $4 million structure scheduled for completion in April, 1968. The building is 75 per cent completed and already encloses the old Gilchrist Library. Plans call for space for the installation of a centralized telephone answer- Safety Confab For Chemists Starts Here A two-day seminar, “Safety in the Chemical Industry,” opened today at the Memorial Student Center. Dr. D. J. Kilian, medical direc tor for Dow Chemical Company’s Texas Division, will make the opening talk, “Toxicity of Chem icals,” at 9:50 a.m. Fifty participants are expected for the seminar sponsoi’ed by the Texas Chemical Council and the Chemical Section of the National Safety Council. A. L. Mossman, vice president of Matheston Company Inc., Rah way, N. J., will discuss safe han dling of compressed gases. De tecting unstable chemicals and reactions will be the topic of J. S. Snyder, safety manager for Merck and Company, Rahway, N. J. Dr. R. E. Joyner, medical di rector for Union Carbide Corp., Texas City, will cover emergency planning in a chemical plant. Friday’s program includes a talk, “Flammable Materials,” by W. S. Wood, safety engineer for Sun Oil Co., Marcus Hook, Pa.; “Personal Protective Equipment for Chemical Plants and Labora tories,” by Wes Wallace, Guar dian Safety Equipment Co., Houston; and “Tz-aining Tech niques for Chemical Operatox-s,” by Robert L.

Seminar host is A&M’s Super visory Development Division, a bi'anch of A&M’s Engineei’ing Extension Service. ing system in the basement of the new building, Charles E. Brunt, assistant manager of the System Physical Plants, said. THE $1.5 MILLION Services building, located north of the Chemistry Building, is scheduled for completion by Nov. 1. Such organizations as the Faculty Ex change and Mailing Service, Uni versity Information, Student Pub lications, Analytical Sex-vice and the Journalism Department will be housed thex-e. Extensive work was done in the Duncan ax-ea. Not only were 12 dormitories and Duncan Hall completely air conditioned at a cost of $1.7 million, but many of the dorms also x-eceived new desks and bureaus. Starting in October, ovex-head fluorescent lights, additional bookshelves, tackboax-ds and full length mir rors will be installed. All work scheduled for the doi-ms is to be completed by April 1, Brunt said. The addition to the Veterinary Medical Clinic is nearly 90 per cent complete, and phase II of the $4 million complex, an addition to the Vetex-inary Science build ing, is already well on the way to being finished by November of 1968. BRUNT SAID other projects nearing completion are the air conditioning of the Civil Engi neering and Geology - Chemical Engineering buildings. The Chem istry building also is converting some of its space to completly furnished graduate reseax-ch lab oratories. Woi-k is tentatively scheduled to begin in late 1968 for the General Engineering building, a giant $9 million complex which will house the office of the dean as well as the Chemical, Electx-i- cal, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Departments. B-CS To Host Civic Seminar On Congress Bryan-College Station will host a U. S. Chamber of Commerce “Congressional Action Confer ence” Nov. 9. The meeting, one of 24 sched uled thx-oughout the nation in co operation with? local chambers of commerce, is designed to help businessmen impx-ove communica tions with their senators and con- gx-essmen. The session will be held at the Holiday Inn, with Rex Bailey, chaix-man of the B-CS Chamber of Commex-ce’s Public Affaix-s Committee, coordinating the ar rangements. “We want to show the individ ual businessman that his voice is important and deserves a px-op- er hearing by those who represent him,” noted U. S. Chamber Presi dent Allan Shivers in announcing the conferences. “Community problems are be coming more complex,” observed the former Texas governor. “The federal government is involved in trying to solve problems at every level and businessmen have sim ply got to become effective in communicating with their elected representatives.” The conference will examine methods and techniques used suc cessfully by various chambers in their information programs. Exn- phasis will be on methods for dis seminating information about proposed legislation quickly and effectively. National chamber directors and Washington staff personnel will participate in the meeting here. University National Bank “On the side of Texas A&M” —Adv. PROTEST DEMONSTRATION?
