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

Monday at 8:15 a.m., the group

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

The cadets return to the campus

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.

Hilburn has reported to Wash

Dr. J. M. Nance, History and
Government Department head at

“Hilburn has done a good job
as a graduate and undergraduate

As an undergraduate at A&M,
Hilburn earned distinguished stu

a distinguished military graduate
in Air Force ROTC. He earned
a Scottish Rite Foundation of
Texas Scholarship to George

studied public administration.
While at George Washington,

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

scheduled for completion in April,

the new building, Charles E.
Brunt, assistant manager of the

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.

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

communicating with their elected
representatives.”
The conference will examine
methods and techniques used suc
