Rise Continuing
In Enrollment
Job Calls
Texas A&M’s College of Agri
culture is continuing its healthy
rise in enrollment.
Figures just released show that
of the total university on-campus
enrollment for the fall semester,
2,215 or 18.7 percent are agricul
tural students. A year ago, the
total was 1,914 or 17.9 percent of
total enrollment.
The current total of 2,215 agri
cultural students is composed of
1,561 undergraduates and 654
graduates.
Dr. H. O. Kunkel, acting dean
of the College of Agriculture, said
the percentage rise in number of
agricultural students over last
year is 13.6 percent, compared to
a 9.8 percent increase in the uni
versity’s total enrollment.
Looking back a few years, total
agricultural enrollment was 1,381
in 1963, 1,424 in 1964, 1,614 in
1965, 1,914 in 1966, and 2,215 at
the start of the 1967-68 academic
year.
Why this steady increase ?
“There is more demand for
agricultural graduates these days;
there are more career opportuni
ties; and salaries are higher,”
Kunkel said.

Freeport Sulphur Company, one of the nation’s top producers of minerals,
offers the graduate engineer a challenging and professionally stimulating
career with unlimited advancement potential.
Freeport’s five divisions spread from Georgia to New Mexico while growth
continues at a phenomenal rate. Investments in new plant facilities in
Louisiana, alone, total more than $75 million. In 1967, sales are expected
to exceed $175 million, with less than 3,000 employees.
For many years Freeport has been the leader in production of sulphur. It
also ranks among leaders in kaolin clay, potash, oil and gas. It will soon
produce phosphoric acid upon completion of its chemical plant at Convent,
La. which will place Freeport among the leading suppliers to the fertilizer
industry.
Strong emphasis on research and process development, especially relating
to physical chemistry, minerals extraction and hydrometallurgy, has helped
make Freeport a leader in these fields. The Engineering Department, too,
has achieved prominence in project design, development and construction
supervision of new plants in virtually all of the company’s projects.

Imagine a hole 5050 ft. deep
and 6 ft. in diameter.
The drilling of this hole will be
one of the subjects William J.
Holbert will discuss when he
speaks to the student chapter of
the Society of Civil Engineers to
night at 7:30 p.m. in the Civil
Engineering lecture room.
Holbert, resident drilling engi
neer for Fenix Scisson, Inc., in
'Mercury, Nev., will talk on the
“Gas Buggy Project and Big Hole
Drilling.” He is in charge of the
drilling of holes and the emplace
ment of nuclear explosives in
these holes.
The purpose of the “Gas Buggy
Project”, conducted near Farm
ington, N.M., is to increase the
natural gas production of a dense
sandstone using an underground
nuclear explosion. This nuclear
blast will fracture the sandstone
and allow the gas to be collected
faster and easier. This hole is 4,-
300 ft. deep and 2 ft 4 in. in
diameter.
The deepest hole he has drilled
is 5,050 ft. deep and 2 ft. 4 in. in
diameter. The biggest hole he
has drilled is 13 ft. 4 in. in dia
meter.
A project that Holbert is work
ing on in the East Coast is for
the purpose of storing gas. A
large diameter hole is being drill
ed into a deep non-gas producing
formation so a huge cavern can
be made in the formation. After
this, liquified petroleum gas will
be pumped into the cavern to be
stored for later use.
Copper is recovered in another
job that Holbert has worked on.
Blasts are set off in a formation
which contains a low-grade cop
per ore. The ore is then dissolved
with acid and brought to the sur
face.
Holbert received his B.S. de
grees in Petroleum Engineering
and Geology from Texas A&M
University in 1947 and 1948,
respectively.
In addition to talking to the
ASCE Student Chapter, he will
talk to civil engineering classes
and will conduct a seminar open
to faculty and students at 3 p.m.
today.

time, or who shall attend A&M
and have used or lost the “Cold
War” G.I. Bill, should present to
Mrs. Echols in the Registrar’s
Office proof that no remaining
entitlement under the G.I. Bill
exists and a copy of the D.D. 214
