Trouble! Walter S. Hopkins, chief of the U. S. Forest Service’s Forest Recreation Research in Washing ton, D. C., said here Tuesday afternoon that the trouble stems from standardized recreation areas and campgrounds and the tendency to lump people into one category. The forestry official was one of the main speakers during the two- week Recreation Management In stitute (Sept. 24-Oct. 6) at Texas A&M University. A&M’s Recre ation and Parks Department is conducting the meetings. The notion that most people behave similarly in recreation areas has led to standard facili ties, standard campgrounds with standard spacings and standard designs—“and this may not be the way to do it,” Hopkins said. Campers, he explained, tend to segregate themselves into activity groups, such at fishing, nature study, swimming or water skiing. Requirements of one group sel dom jibe with the others, and the situation can create hard feelings toward the area administrator. Nature people want wide spac ing and transquility, water skiers like lots of company and bustle. What happens ? The skiers com plain about launching facilities, and the swimmers, fishermen and the nature study group squawk about the noise, danger and con fusion caused by the motor boats. “And the poor forest land man ager who has provided a standard campground to sery* all these groups is still looking for a friend,” Hopkins said. “Seldom are campgrounds specifically planned for the activities to which they are host.” Designing recreation areas to meet specialized needs should help reduce the conflicts. Carrying out such an arrangement won’t be easy, but “some serious thought and study in this area should pay big dividends,” the speaker said. Institute Director Kenneth Butts of the A&M Recreation and Parks Department said the pur pose of the meetings is to give recreation managers and tech nical specialists an updating of recreation knowledge, concepts and skills. He said the conference is the first of its kind in the United States and involves eight federal agencies and personnel from local and state park departments. A demand is developing in the fledgling nuclear power industry for less specialized personnel to handle operational and manageri al functions, notes Dr. Robert Cochran, head of Texas A&M’s Nuclear Engineering Department. A&M is helping meet this de mand by offering an undergradu ate program in nuclear engineer ing, the first in Texas and sur rounding states and one of only a few in the entire nation. The undergraduate program, now beginning its second year, already has attracted 42 students, including 17 freshmen. Pointing out that Texas A&M initiated graduate programs in nuclear engineering in 1959, Dr. Cochran says the need up until now has been for highly special ized personnel for research and development. NOW, HOWEVER, as the in dustry matures and branches out into commercial aspects, there are definite requirements for many persons who are less specialized but still highly trained. Needs of the industry already have reached the point, Cochran notes, that some firms have es tablished their own nuclear train ing programs, varying in length from nine to 12 months, and are converting mechanical and elec trical engineers. Industry needs include men who can install, operate and maintain the nuclear reactors which are being developed by the researchers, emphasizes the former Oak Ridge nuclear Phys icist and group leader. He pre dicts there also will be an in creased demand in the industry AN OPEN LETTER! Hello Aggies- Welcome back home Aggies! We have missed you. Well another school year is beginning and it is our hope you do well in all of your endeavors and that you accomplish all of your undertakings.

Aggie land Recreation Center Redmond Terrace Center P.S. “The girls are still playing here!” for sales engineers and persons engaged in administrative activ ities. A PERSON with a B.S. degree in nuclear engineering can fill these positions, Dr. Cochran con tends. While no special prerequisites are required for undergraduate students, they must meet the general academic standards set by the College of Engineering. Most of the students have a solid background in mathematics and science. “We require a minimum 17 hours in nuclear engineering, al lowing 12 elective hours for a major,” Dr. Cochran notes. “Many students take problems courses as electives. Others lean toward business, psychology, mathemat ics and physics.” The nuclear power industry is an exciting engineering field of the future, he concludes.
