Navy Gives A&M $788,800 Grant The Office of Naval Research haw awarded Ttxas A6M a $788,- 800 grant for continuing support of the unhreraity'a oceanographic research in the Gulf of Mexico. Dr. Richard A. Gayer, head of AAM’a Oceanography Depart, meet, said this year’s award rep- resente an increase of more than 680,000 over funds furnished by the federal agmey last year. He noted $396,000 is designated for operation and technical sup port of the Aiaminoe, the univer sity'# research vessel.

Crsik, superinten dent of the Texas Maritime Acad emy, Galveston, recently desig nated the following, student* as “Distinguished Students” for the fall semester: Joseph G. Ab- schneider, Philip A. Delsmarter, Henry W. Frederickson, Cecil B. Eubanks, Douglas A. Henry, Dal las W. Johnson, George S. Laven, Michael G. Leinhart, John R. Mills, Richard A. Nicholas, Neal S. Platxer end Gary J. Trout The "Distinguished Students” took at least 15 hours and posted at least a 2.25 grade point ratio, with no grade leas than C. A Texas AAM University re searcher is going to East Paki stan to aid in developing a new industry ~ making a substitute for rocks. Dr. W. B. Ledbetter will design a kiln to aarve as a pilot plant for synthetic aggregate research. Synthetic aggregates are gravel- like materials manufactured from a variety of materials such as days, shales and slates which art baked at temperatures of 2JW0 dsgrsss or to. WHERE there are no natural aggregates such as gravel avail able, there la nobbing to mix with cement to build roads or other structures, including buildings, it eras pointed out. In many parts of Taxes, there are no natural aggregates suit able for highway construction and the state has five of the 60 syn thetic ^gragate plants in the United States. Texas AAM University has s 26-foot-long rotary kiln with which research in the synthetic aggregates has been carried out for several years. It is probable that this will form a basis for the design of the East Pakistan Uln. THE AGENCY for Internation al Development is funding Dr. Ledbetter's work. Ha is an as sociate professor of dvil engine ering and a research engineer for the Texas Transportation Insti tute "Ninety per cent of the coun try in East Pakistan is a flood alluvial plain formed by three riv en, ” Dr. Ledbetter said. “TTisre are no natural aggregates and* roads are made by broken bricks fired in country ovens. But the brick is inferior in quality. “The purpose of the contract is to provide a research tool whereby this concept of producing aggregates in a rotary kiln can be demonstrated,” ha continued. "My conviction is that once they see and fed it with their own hands, it will open up the tech nology.’’ LEDBETTER will begin his work at East Pakistan University, of Engineering and Technology ’ to begin the work. Dr. Subodh K Dae, who received his PhJ>. under Ledbetter two years ago, will col laborate in the work there. Ledbetter hopes k will be pos sible to produce the lightweight form o f synthetic aggregates from ths country’s day*. Under firing, this material “bloats" to sponge-tike form amt retains strength while losing one-third of ks original weight This type of aggregate would bo extremely important in a build ing industry, Ledbetter noted.
