! ' il / \ For Dynamics Research THE BATTALION Wednesday. November 22, 1967 Colleffe Station, Texas Pace 3 Aero Engineers Get 2nd Plane Texas AAM's Aerospace Engi neering Department has acquired its second airplane for research into some fundamental problems of flight dynamics. The aircraft, a Piper Super Cub, had been used by the Border Patrol It will join the univer sity’s other reseearch-plane, a Grumman Ag-Cat, at the A&M Research Annex where parallel 7,500-foot runways and a pair of 5,000-foot strips are available. (The Research Annex, several miles from the A AM campus, was formerly the Bryan Air Force Base.) Activities of the Aerospace En gineering Department here will constitute the “Texas A AM Flight Test Station.” Dr. Richard Thomas, professor in the Aerospace Department, hopes to expand studies in aero dynamics, including air turbulence with the new plane. might sense when an airplane starts to fly through turbulence and maybe we can alter the lift patterns with jets of air or other devices,” Thomas said. This would make the flight smoother.” The proMsms of turbulence and especially "clear air turbu lence”. are under intensive re search today. High flying com mercial and military jet aircraft have been buffeted and even destroyed by invisible turbulence occurring in perfectly clear skies. At AAM, researchers have de veloped a device which introduces gusts in a small wind tunnel and will place a similar device in the university’s 7x 10-foot wind tun nel. At present, members of the Aerospace Department are in stalling a four-channel telemeter ing system in the Grumman Ag- Cat. This airplane, originally de signed for agricultural use, has being placed in the section origi nally designed for chemical tanks, Thomas said. Information about control posi tions and aircraft motion will be telemetered to a house trailer re ception center and recorded on board the aircraft at the same time. The department is conducting studies of harried landing tech niques—that is, landing an air craft after clearing some obstruc tion. An easily broken wire hold ing colored balloons is strung be tween tall poles to simulate barriers. The study may change some of the traditionally accepted ways of performing such land ings. THOMAS SAYS the aerospace industry expresses considerable interest in some basic problems dealing with the whole area of interaction between vehicle and atmosphere. The relationship betweeh pilot and aircraft is of particular in terest. / "Just how does a crop duster know when to pull up to miss the tree at the end of the field ? What factors influence the decision? These are some of the things which are knoa-n in terms only of experience now," Thomas pointed out./ Medicine Suffers From.

The medical world is not get ting the full benefit of science and technology and there exists today an ever widening gap be tween doctor and scientist or en gineer. an internationally known physicist. Dr. John Lenihan, said Tuesday at Texas AAM. Part of the difficulty comes from a lack of communication and part comes from “different ways of looking at the material world,” observed Dr. Lenihan, whose group at Western Regional Hos pital Board in Glasgow, Scotland, was the first to report presence of arsenic in locks of Napoleon's hair. Dr. Lenihan was to deliver the first fall Universtiy Lecture on "Medicine and the Challenge of Technology" at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Memorial Student Center ballroom. The public is invited to attend the free presentation. WHERE SCIENCE is analyt ical and strictly logical, medicine can’t wait for complete data. The physician needs to make a de rision on incomplete information and he is always having to bal ance probabilities,” said Dr. Leni han. “The physician seeking help from the scientist will often be discouraged. He propounds what seems to be a simple problem and is told he needs thousands of dollars and much time to solve it. “The scientist, on the other hand, can't get from the physician exact specifications of the prob lem." To narrow this gap, the West ern Regional Hospital Board, which advises and assists more than 200 hospitals in Scotland, has employed a team approach. “WE HAVE a team of about 130 people—physicists, mathema ticians, engineers, chemists, doc tors, etc. “And the team has to be in the place where the action is.” This means the team is more often in the clinical environment solving or actually discovering problems. "It doesn't work unless it’s a big effort with a good turnover and new ideas.” One example of team effort in solving medical problems is work on activation analysis in the clin ical sciences. “We have a big survey on a large number of trace element* in body tissues and are trying to develop tests to decide which are the essential trace elements.’’ IT WAS by activation analysis that the arsenic in Napoleon's hair was determined and this is the field of particular interest to Dr. Lenihan. While at Texas AAM, he is being hosted by Dr. Richard Wainerdi, associate dean of engineering and head of AAM's Activation Analysis Laboratory. Team effort at the Glaagow institution includes study of acoustical problems and a large radioactive isotope program. The Western Regional Hospital Board functions as advisor in this field to its group of hos^Mtals. "We also maintain a sort of consumers advice service on in struments used in hospitals.” This includes complicated electronic instruments. X-ray machines and others. ’ “This is hugely econoinkal," he said. Five additional lectures are scheduled this school year.

WHITE Associated Press WrUer SAIGON '^—American para troopers gained the crest of Hill 875 near the Cambodian border in One of the war’s fiercest battles and launched an assault to root out last-ditch North Vietnamese defenders, battle front reports said Wednesday. Pressing un despite heavy louses, men of the 17.'ird Airborne Brigade won control of the crest in action, Monday and Tuesday and opened a dawn assault Wednej lay against entrenched North Vietnamese along a ridge line, the reports indicate*!. The ridge line apparently waa almost as High us the crest and Was the dominant position on the 'hill three miles from the Cam bodian bolder. Reporting from the battle scene. Associated Press corre spondent Peter Arnett said the assault on the ridge line was preceded by repeated U. S. bomb ing strikes. The bloody fighting on Hill 875 has left at least 79 paratroopers dead and another 178 wounded since Sunday. Total U. S. losses in the 20 days of fighting around Dak To have been put at 246 dead and 860 wounded. North Vietnamese casualties in the Dak To fight ing were put at 1,143 by the U. S Command.
