Swimmers, sun bathers and

available to A&M students, fac-
uly, former students and guests,
will be open on an abbreviated
schedule through the remainder
of the spring semester.
Additional swimming hours
will be scheduled during the sum
mer and the spring schedule will
become effective again in Sep
tember.
From April 1 to June 1, Cain
pool will be open from 2 to 6
p.m. on weekdays, 10 to 12 a.m.
and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays
and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Sundays.
Admission to A&M students,
their children and faculty-guest

will be 25 cents each. Faculty,
former students and adult guests

The Cain pool is 50 meters
long and 60 feet wide, with a div
ing pit of 45 by 75 foot dimen
sions. Landiss said two days will

Civil Defense Tornado Group
Organizational Meeting Set
Brazos County’s Civil Defense
Tornado Warning group will
meet Monday at Texas A&M to
organize for the 1968 severe
weather season.
Dr. Vance E. Moyer, tornado
warning division head, said group
members and other interested
persons will go over tornado spot
ting and warning plans for the
April through June season.
He added that the 7:30 p.m.
meeting will be in Room 305 of
Goodwin Hall.
Jake Canglose, Brazos County
civil defense director, said offi
cials of Robertson, Burleson,
Grimes and Washington counties
law enforcement agencies have
been invited to attend.
“This will be a routine meeting
to get everybody going and on
his toes,” Moyer explained.
“Everyone involved needs to
understand the significance of a
late-night call.”
An organization that pools
most of Brazos County’s rapid
communication facilities, the
group involves the Department
of Public Safety, Federal Avia
tion Agency, county and city law
enforcement agencies, Highway
Department, A&M’s Communica
tions Center, Bryan and College
Station services departments,
telephone company, citizens band
and RACES radio clubs and in
dividuals.
“IT’S A WELL-oiled machine
that we hope never has to sound
the alarm,” noted Moyer, A&M’s
Meteorology Department head.
“There are a surprising number
of people working at it on vol
unteer basis. All are enthusi
astic, dedicated people.”
Moyer said the DPS is the
prime mover. Department of
Public Safety personnel monitor
Austin radio and intercept re
ports of severe weather disturb
ances. FAA at Easterwood Air
port also gets severe weather
alerts. Information is passed to
the A&M communications center,
which informs Moyer or one of
two vdiision deputy chiefs, Dr.
Robert A. Clark or James W.
Lightfoot of the department.
THEY ASSESS imminent dan
ger to the area, and, if necessary,
set department radar, the orga
nization and a tornado watch in
motion. Volunteer spotters are
notified to be on watch for fun
nels and CB and RACES units
deploy to pre-arranged stations.
“They act as a picket and fall

said.
“In the event a tornado threat
ens, the communication center
would be notified to activate
warning signals and local news
agencies would be called for an
emergency broadcast of the im
pending danger.”
Signals and safety precautions
are available in pamphlet form
at B-CS post offices. The Braz
os County CD folder suggests
protective measures and indicates
the tornado warning signal will
be a steady siren blast of three
to five minutes.
“THERE ARE flaws,” Moyer
added. “The Brazos River serves
as an effective barrier to com
munications from that direction,
from which 95 per cent of tor
nadoes in this area will come.”
Dr. W. O. Trogdon, president of
Tarleton State College at Steph-
enville, will crown King Cotton
during Texas A&M’s 34th an
nual Cotton Pageant and Ball
April 6.
Trogdon is a former head of
the A&M Soil and Crop Sciences
Department.
King Cotton is Roger Bippert
of La Coste, a senior agronomy
major. He was chosen by Agron
omy Society members in recog
nition of his active record of
service to the organization.
The pageant, which starts at
7 p.m. in the Bryan Civic Audi
torium, honors cotton as the
state’s main cash crop. The pag
eant will be followed by the ball
at 9 p.m. in the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
