Chickens Checked In Radiation Study Are some chickens less sus ceptible to nuclear radiation than others ? Research at Texas A&M will check out the peculiarity discer ned when investigations were be ing made for the Atomic Energy Commission four years ago. In providing basic information about a source of protein in case of atomic attack, A&M scientists noticed that hens exposed to ra diation seemed more resistant than roosters. Dr. William C. Banks, principal investigator in a study of mid- lethal doses of radiation to chick ens, is in the first stages of checking the apparent character istic.

' Now ECS engineers and educators lave programmed a high-speed com- Ipter with 700,000 items of scholastic !| tl, worth over $500 million, to permit s bdents to easily and quickly locate Scholarships for which they qualify. 'The student fills out a detailed, con- ''dential questionnaire and returns it to wS, with a one-time computer-proces- S'Hg fee of $15. In seconds the compu- ,e f compares his qualifications against 'aquirements of grants set up by foun dations, business, civic, fraternal, re- "Sious, and government organizations, jhd prints a personalized report to he student telling him where and when ![> apply for grants for which he qual- 'hes. Thousands of these do not depend •hscholastic standing or financial need. FREE . INFORMATION AND SAMPLE QUESTIONNAIRE ra Nine batches of chickens have been irradiated at A&M’s Nuc lear Science Center in the pro gram to verify or disprove the female resistance. Dr. Banks, pro fessor of vetinary medicine and surgery, said outside factors may have influenced the chickens’ physiology. “The hens’ resistance could have been the result of our techniques,” Banks noted. In conducting the earlier AEC research, chickens were exposed to a colbat source of gamma ra diation. Improvements in the Nuclear Science Center reactor allowed closer controls in the pre sent experiment. The chickens were irradiated in groups of 12, in a newly-installed cell capable of orientation within Pistol Packin’ Ag Sophomore Fires Straight Pistol marksman Robert H. Pohl of Bryan takes issue with the idea that “practice makes per fect.” The Texas A&M sophomore electrical engineering major fired in Ada Zilker Robinson pistol matches in Austin over the week end, and cleaned out the ribbon rack. Pohl, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rob ert H. Pohl, 1906 Wayside, won nine medals firing the .22 and .45 pistols. His bull ring - ripping shooting was done without a prac tice round fired in nearly a month. Bob won medals for grand ag gregate score in his division—ex pert, .22 time fire, centerfire rapid and time fire and centerfire ag gregate, .45 slow, rapid and time and .45 aggregate. . “ .

Foreign Students Operate A&M Booth At State Fair Thirty students from four dif ferent countries are working in the international area of the Tex as A&M University’s exhibition at the State Fair in Dallas. The group of students is com posed by people from Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Pakistan and Tunisia. All of them are ag ricultural students. Dr. Jack D. Gray, director of International programs at A&M, said this is an important coopera tion to the university because through the participation, the stu dents are given more emphasis to the program of A&M in the international field. Dr. Gray explained the students are working in short groups of four men. Every group works during two days, and includes a student from each of the repre sented countries. Students attending Texas’ Fair give information about their re- spectives countries to the persons who visit the event and show in terest in knowing how the Inter national Program of A&M oper ates, and are also interested in knowing something about the main activities of the countries represented at the exhibition. The Texas A&M booth is loca ted at the Agriculture Building. It includes the showing of great variety of agricultural and meat products from farms and ranchs of Texas. At the middle of the pavillion there is a stand with four screens in which are projected slides about the work of the technicians from Texas A&M in each foreign country.

Kids choke on polluted air. Streets are jammed by cars with no place to go. Italy’s priceless art and libraries are ravaged by floods. This is the way the world is, but it’s not the way it has to be. Air pollu tion can be prevented. Better transportation can be devised. Something can even be done about the weather. Many people at General Electric are already working on these problems, but we need more. We need help from young engineers and scientists; and we need help from business and liberal arts graduates who understand people and their problems. If you want to help solve important problems, we’d like to talk to you. We’ll be visiting campus soon. Drop by the placement office and arrange for an interview.
