THE BATTALION
Environmental Laboratory Becomes A Reality
A night - shrouded highway
slashed by passing motorists’
headlights unreels before a driv
er’s eyes. Suddenly, fog swirls
over the scene.
The driver’s hands clench the
steering wheel as posts, guard
rails, trees and approaching car
lights become indistinct blobs.
Leg muscles tense, eyes squint
and heart beats faster as the
driver strains to orient on the
middle stripe and discern objects
ahead.
Meanwhile, students at instru
ments outside the environmental
lab record the “driver’s” pulse
rate, temperature, respiration and
other physical factors while sub
jecting him to various situations.
The human factors and envi
ronmental lab being installed in
Texas A&M’s Industrial Engi
neering Department will test per
sons in various environmental
conditions, such as an executive
forced to make an urgent, sig
nificant decision.
The facility, designed and con
structed by students and faculty,
is for work in a human factors
engineering graduate program
being added by the department,
according to Dr. A. W. Wortham,
head.
He said the lab will be used in
instructing large classes, indi
vidual experiments by Ph.D.
candidates and faculty research.
A product of interdisciplinary
thinking, the lab is being built
under the supervision of Dr. R.
L. Street. Instructors Jim Hen-
nigan and Peter Anderson and
graduate students Paul Hale of
Hitchcock, Steve Newcomer of
Austin and Frank Bergen of Chil-
licothe turned numerous ideas
into hardware for the lab.
120 Fellowships To Be Awarded
Texas A&M University stu
dents with questions about Dan-
forth Graduate Fellowships may
contact Dr. Haskell M. Monroe,
assistant dean of the Graduate
College.
Monroe said candidates must
be nominated by liaison officers
of their undergraduate institu
tions by Nov. 1. He noted the
foundation will award about 120
fellowships in March.
Open to seniors or recent gradu
ates of accredited colleges in the
United States, Danforth Fellow
ships are designed for students
who have a serious interest in
college teaching as a career and
who plan to study for a Ph.D.
Monroe said Danforth Graduate
Fellows are eligible for four years
of financial assistance, with a
maximum annual living stipend
of $2,400 for single persons and
$2,950 for married, plus tuition
and fees. Dependency allowances
also are available.
Applicants must be less than
30 years old and may not have
undertaken graduate or profes
sional study beyond the bacca
laureate. The foundation does not
accept direct applications, Dr.
Monroe noted.
A 7 by 7-ft. rear-projection
screen was sand-blasted by the
work crew to meet specifications.
Temperature, humidity, sound
and visual conditions in the 8 by
12-ft. chamber will be completely
controlled from a central con
sole. A 30-to-140-degree tem
perature range will be possible
with five tons of air-conditioning.
Heaters, a humidifier and elec
trostatic air cleaner further mod
ify conditions.
A dual speaker system will en
able researchers to surround test
subjects with sound or introduce
conflicting noises.
Light intensity will be rheo-
statically controlled and the rear-
projection system will introduce
optical illusions. A 5%-ft. square

Russian Students
Find JFK Popular
John F. Kennedy ranks first on
the list of Americans most popu
lar with Russian university stu
dents, a special poll revealed to
day.
Results of the poll, conducted
this summer among 1,000 univer
sity students by the Soviet No-
vosti Press Agency, were pub
lished in a report appearing in
the current issue of Look maga
zine. The Gallup organization
conducted a similar poll among
500 U. S. college students.
Both polls, taken for the maga
zines special issue on Russia,
show that American and Soviet
students know surprisingly little
about each others countries.
The Russian students ranked
author Ernest Hemingway as
their next most popular Ameri
can, with Mark Twain, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, William Faulkner
and Louis Armstrong following
in that order.
Also, there were a few votes
for singers Paul Robeson and
Pete Seeger and some for actor
Gregory Peck.
When asked to name America’s
greatest political leaders, Soviet
students listed Abraham Lincoln
first, JFK second and FDR third.
The poll among Russian stu
dents indicated that most of them
learn about the United States
through the translated works of
American authors. More than
any other book they could name,
the Soviet collegians listed John
Steinbeck’s Travels With Charley
as giving the most comprehensive
view of America.
The 500 American students
polled by Gallup ranked Russia’s
cosmonauts as the Soviets they
most admire; then came Soviet
Premier Alexei Kosygin, Lenin,
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Vladi-
mar, Nabokov, the author of Lo
lita (who left Russian in 1919).
Listing their most admired
Russian political leaders, U. S.
students picked Kosygin number
one by a wide margin, this per
haps because he is currently in
office. A trickle of votes turned
up for Soviet Communist Party
chief Leonid Brezhnev and for
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.
On the subject of peace, 76
percent of the American stu
dents were sure the superpowers
could live in peace with one an
other. This reassuring optimism
spread to 90 percent of the Rus
sian students.
Soviet students listed Judge
ment at Nuremburg, On the
Beach and the old version of War
and Peace as their favorite mov
ies. Some 87 percent of the Amer
icans polled had seen no Soviet-
made movies at all, and the few
who had named Ballad of a Sol
dier as the best they’d seen.
Con Thien, Where Big Shells
Rain Down On Tired Marines
By EDWIN Q. WHITE
CON THIEN, Vietnam. OS’)—
The name Con Thien may not be
recorded in Marine history beside
Guadalcanal or Iwo Jima, but
those who are here will remember
these muddy hills as a place
where bravery was routine and
heroism was commonplace.
CON THIEN is a forward posi
tion for a detachment of U. S.
Marines hanging on grimly in the
face of the greatest artillery,
rocket and mortar siege seen in
Vietnam since the French were
overwhelmed 13 years ago at Dien
Bien Phu. The big shells come
from the North, but the enemy is
all around.
Con Thien is an artillery base
and an observation post.
It is the high ground two miles
south of the demilitarized zone
that divides Vietnam. The top
most hill rises about 500 feet and
observers can look across the
DMZ into North Vietnam. The
hills are scarred and scraped by
shell blasts. Red mud covers
everything.
Con Thien is many other things.
IT IS teen-aged warriors in
filthy, tattered fatigues digging
their holes deeper in the brief
interval between barrages. They
joke as they dig. Sometimes they
laugh.

Make-ups
Con Thien is all these things
on three muddy mounds of earth
facing North Vietnam. The Ma
rines moved in last April because
it is a “commanding piece of
terrain, the important piece in
the area,” as officers express it.
Almost immediately the position
came under enemy guns. In the
spring and early summer, the
shellings were heavy. Then the
intensity dropped.
MORE MARINES moved into
positions flanking Con Thien.
More gunpits were set up 2,000
yards to the south. The artillery
at Dong Ha, Cam Lo and Gio
Linh, the other corners of “Leath
erneck Square,” and the big guns
at Camp Carroll, farther west,
supported Con Thien. B52 bomb
ers and tactical air strikes pound
ed the enemy day after day.
A month ago the North Viet
namese again began to show they
were still there with heavy guns
in the treelines, ridges and moun
tains. The pounding of Con Thien
was stepped up.
There is no pattern to the siege.
Sometimes it is quiet for an hour,
two hours, three hours. Then
there is the shout: “Incoming.”
MEN RACE for bunkers, holes
and ditches.
There were plans to build an
all-weather road that would link
Con Thien with points to the
south, and truck in supplies,
troops and equipment. The road
has not been completed. A big
culvert was blown up by the
enemy. Truckloads of rock-fill
sink into the mire.
Almost everything coming into
Con Thien must move by heli
copters. When one begins to
descend, troopers on the ground
head for their holes, knowing a
barrage can be expected.
WHEN THE decision was made
to control Con Thien it was not
believed the enemy could mount
and maintain such an offensive.
It was believed his guns could be
spotted and wiped out.
This has not happened, but a
commitment was made. To pull
back would give the enemy a
propaganda victory. It would go
counter to Marine thinking.

Recreation Plans
To Include Man
Man is the most difficult
natural resource angle to figurt
in any recreation program, and
he should not be left out of the
picture, the head of the Colorado
State Universtiy Recreation and
Watershed Resources DepartmeU
said here.
Dr. Arthur Wilcox, speaking
during the two-week Recreation
Management Institute, said it is j
a mistake to ignore the human
factor.
“Man is part of our natural
resources, and he should not be
put into a separate category, the
department head said. “He is the
most complicated factor to handle
in a recreation program.”
Such was some of the recrea
tion management philosophy to
come out of the second day of the
institute. It is conducted by the
A&M Recreation and Parks De
partment.

edge, concepts and skills. Enroll- miation an
mentis limited to 30 persons.
Wilcox cautioned the group not
to get too far away from the bask (?ree fro:
concept of recreation which is re
creation. Park and recreation ad
ministrators “are in an ideal posi
tion to be concerned about the
total problems of leisure.”
The speaker put resources into
three large classes in relation to
recreation. They were scenic',
scientific or natural history, his
torical sites, museums, etc.; and
strategic, which are areas stra
tegically located to care for
masses of people.
The strategic class, he empha
sized, is the most important in the
long run.
Other speakers at the morning
session were Lemuel Garrison,
regional director of the National
Park Service at Philadelphia,
Penn.; and Robert Sharp of Den
ver, Colo., assistant regional di
rector of the Bureau of Outdoor
Recreation.
