in the nation where professional
engineer! visit classes in mass to
work directly with students, ac
cording to Dr. J. H. Earle, head
of the engineering graphics dept.
“For the past two years,” Earle
said, “we hare invited engineers
from leading Texas firms to act

AUSTIN tA** — The shortcom
ings of Texas liquor laws were
described to a special House study
subcommittee Monday with mem
bers of the Texas Liquor Control
Board leading the oarade of wit
nesses.
Members of the board made
their recommendations at an aft
ernoon committee session after
they named O. N. Humphrey act
ing administrator of the agency.
.Humphreys, 44, will succeed
Coke Stevenson Jr.,\64, whose
resignation is effective Feb. 29.
Stevenson had been administra
tor since 1949.
Humphreys took over as assist
ant administrator just a week ago.
replacing William Ferguson who
resigned earlier.
Although Humphreys was
named Monday as acting adminis
trator, he also will be considered
along with other persons for the
job as permanent TLCB adminis
trator. board members said. Oth
er candidates for the 426,000 a
year job include Asst. Atty. Gen.
Howard Fender and several state
legislators.
The board at its morning meet
ing also asked supervisors of the
19 state districts to furnish de
tailed background on all TLCB
inspectors and other employes.
Department heads were asked to
evaluate all employes in a written
report to the board, particularly
describing any “moonlighters."
who have jobs. A warning was
sent employes not to accept any
gifts from anyone who might
have any connection with their
TLCB work.
The House subcommittee study
ing possible liquor law changes, at
the request of Speaker Ben
Barnes, got underway after re
ceiving a warning from Atty.
Gen. Crawford Martin that any
witness they might force to testi
fy would be immune from any
later criminal prosecution.
The subcommittee asked for the
ruling after Sen. Dorsey Harde-
1 man of San Angelo, chairman of
the Senate General Investigating
Committee, refused to order a
proble of alleged TLCB irregular
ities for fear it would hinder the
work of two fcrand jury investiga
tions already underway.
Last semester, Earle said, 40
engineers visited classes totaling
900 students on two occasions.
“IN LATE October, the ermi
ne* rs met with the classes to give
some general guidelines for com
pleting and presenting student
projects,” Earle said. “They re
turned in January to criticise and
evaluate the completed projects.
“The purpose of the entire pro
gram,” Earle explained, “is to
allow freshman students to learn
how to solve and present an engi
neering problem and become more
acquainted with the engineering
profession.
He said 35 engineers will par
ticipate in a similar program this
semester by meeting with fresh
man students in March and May.
“FRESHMAN graphics courses
are becoming introductions to
higher engineering courses rather
than simply exercises in draft
ing,” he said.
Earle noted that 46 engineers
will participate in a similar pro
gram this semester and will meet
wtih freshman students in March
and May.
“We’re also one of the few
graphics departments that, since
1946, has written a new engineer
ing problems workbook every
semester,” Earle said.
“Although we actually use the
same engineering principles over
and over, we try to relate them
to modern industrial problems.”
Earle noted, for example, that
