THE BATTALION Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, March 21, 1968 Boyd To Address TTI Conference Transportation Secretary Alan Boyd will visit the research facili ties of Texas A&M’s Texas Trans portation Thstitute March 28 pri or to addressing the university’s 10th annual transportation confer ence. Maj. Gen. John P. Doyle (USAJF- Ret.) of A&M’s MacDonald Chair of Transportation, conference chairman, said Boyd will tour the university’s Research Annex shortly- after his 9 a.m. arrival from Washington. TTI Director Jack Keese will head a team briefing the secre tary on various projects of the in stitute. Among the programs to LAND IS AT AGGIELAND FLOWER AND GIFT SHOPPE North Gate be covered are “break - away” posts and poles, impact attenua tion devices, freeway lighting, traffic surveillance, skid resist ance and railroad grade-cross ings. The TTI team also will ex plain plans for the institute’s new Highway Safety Research Center which officials here hope will eventually be designated the Na tional Highway Safety Center or one of the regional centers. Boyd’s noon address highlights opening-day activities for the two- day conference co-sponsored by the Transportation Association of America. Approximately 200 prominent transport leaders from industry and government will attend the meeting, Doyle said. Theme of the session is “Up- da t i n g Transportation Law.” Doyle noted the controversial top ic was selected in anticipation of federal legislative and executives activities in this area within the next few years. Boyd will be accompanied by his wife, a military aide and at least one other assistant. JIM BICE '64 DO YOU /CA/OW. . .

(AP Wire- photo) Howard University Closes, Students Demand Changes WASHINGTON (^—Predomi nantly Negro Howard University shut down indefinitely Wednes day after several hundred stu dents keeping tight control of the administration building prepared for a second straight lie-in night. The students, demanding broad changes in the school’s operations, including “black education,” said they would not leave until the uni versity drops any planned discipli nary action against 30 students who disrupted a Charter Day pro gram on the campus March 1. University officials including the president, James M. Nabrit Jr., would not make themselves available to newsmen but issued a statement saying parents of all students had been notified that classes and other school activities have been suspended. “The university will exert every effort to reopen the university at the earliest possible time and will continue to explore and consider all means of resolving the prob lem of the students’ protest and unrest,” the statement said. University officials made no attempt to enter the building dur ing the day. Their statement was issued by a public relations spokesman who declined to iden tify the authors. Outside several hundred stu dents rallied during the day. The group included about half a dozen faculty members and about 10 white students. At the Charter Day ceremonies, a group of militants went to the podium and listed various student demands. Anthony Conducts Plastic Research A project in plastics and syn thetic rubber research titled “Ki netics of Homogeneous Anionic Polymerization” is in progress at Texas A&M under the direction of Dr. Rayford G. Anthony, as sistant professor of Chemical En gineering, the principal investiga tor. The study is funded by a Na tional Science Foundation two- year grant, which was awarded to the Texas A&M Research Foundation. Objective of the research, ac cording to Dr. Anthony, is to verify theories concerning the molecular weight distribution curves of three “high” polymers— styrene, isoprene, and butadiene. Determination of kinetic para meters which are used in the vari ous theories will allow more ef ficient operation of reactors mak ing the three polymers. Condi tions may be predicted for pro ducing a polymer with specified mechanical properties. Laboratory polymerization re actions in the presence of differ ent solvents will be conducted. The molecular weight distribu tion will be determined^ by use of Gel Permeation Chromatogra phy. Dr. C. D. Holland, head of the Department of Chemical Engine ering, will act as consultant on the project. Research assistants are James L. Kuester, Ph.D. candidate, and Gene Teaney, master of engineer ing student. Both have previous petrochemical industrial experi ence. Dr. Anthony received B.S. and M. S. degrees in chemical engine ering from Texas A&M and his doctorate from the University of Texas. He held research engineer ing positions at Petroleum Chemi cals, Inc. and Sun Oil before as suming his present position in 1966. The work is seen as a contri bution to Texas A&M's expanding capability to polymer research. CATE Center Sets Unique Tele-Lecture Texas A&M’s blackboard-by- wire network will be put to the test Saturday when the Creative Application of Technology to Edu cation (CATE) Center here re lays a lecture from Washington, D. C., to 15 south-central Texas sites. Dr. Thomas J. Moffett, CATE director, said the tele-lecture by Dr. J. Lloyd Trump will be the first of its type in the nation, considering the relay aspect and large number of sites involved. The talk by Dr. Trump, associ ate secretary of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and author of numer ous professional books, will be presented “live” to principals and teachers assembled in classrooms in an area stretching from Hunts ville to Heame and Navasota. Dr. Trump’s 9 a.m. lecture will cover innovative practices for edu cators in improving curriculum and instruction. Moffett pointed out that tele lectures are frequently conducted between two points, but in this case the operation will involve 17 locations and a relay capability. He explained the one-hour relay will be accomplished by using back-to-back tape recorders at the CATE Center on the A&M cam pus. The system will require only a one-second lag between the time Dr. Trump speaks in Washington and the time his voice is heard in the various classrooms.

Moffett noted CATE has dupli cated a series of color slides which will be shown in each of class rooms when directions are given by the speaker. Material drawn from Dr. Trump’s talk also has been duplicated and will be avail able to the participants. Schools receiving the lecture are A&M Consolidated in College Station, Allen Military Academy, Stephen F. Austin in Bryan, Bren- ham Kemp, Caldwell, Yoe in Cameron, Crockett, Hearne, Huntsville, Madisonville, Nava sota, Rockdale, Snook and Somer ville. The lecture also will be pre sented to a group of A&M pro fessors and invited guests at the CATE Center, Moffett said. A&M’s 15-school blackboard- by-wire network is the largest of its kind in the nation. It is con ducted through a federal grant to the A&M Consolidated School District.
