Given Awards
Vote Invalidated By Engineers
For the second time in as many months, elections for
important student posts have been mishandled and thrown
out for re-balloting-.
The increased enrollment in recent years, tied with this
year’s overall election interest and active coordination among
civilians to support qualified personnel among their ranks
in previously all Corps positions, has contributed to voting
in mass.
While progress is being made to reduce student apathy,
election administration has worked in opposition to voting
fervor.
In truth, only 423 votes were cast Tuesday in Student
Senate elections, or about one-fifth the votes cast in the
March 28 class elections..
But to those who took the time to vote, both were
equally important, and in both cases, protests by candidates
revealed miscues which invalidated the results.
The class elections required clarification of campaigning
in the Memorial Student Center, poster displays on campus
and enforcement of clothing regulations without such prece
dent.
Results of Tuesday’s Student Senate election were
thrown out by the Senate Election Committee when Elec
tion Commission Chairman Tony Benedetto gave them the
authority to do so.
Dick Westerbrook, a candidate for senior engineering
representative, among several others, protested that polls
had closed prematurely and that there had been cross-over
voting. This would involve, as an example, a junior in geo
sciences voting for someone in liberal arts.
Each one of the protests could have been avoided with
the least amount of preparation and coordination by the
election commission. It was its responsibility to be thorough
ly familiar with election rules and procedures.
It was its responsibility to insure that students did not
vote twice, did not violate campaign procedures and did not
cross-vote.
We hope that next year’s commission takes the time
to adequately prepare for student elections. It is its job
to establish and enforce a system of voter registration, to
see that voting is as valid and as swift as possible.
If rules are changed or suddenly enforced, then there
are several means to notify students well in advance. If
students are to have the representation they need to coordi
nate and arbitrate with the administration and among
themselves, then the best people have to be elected.
Interest in student affairs and a large turnout are two
ways to insure the best men in the right positions. It
should be done right—the first time.
Dr. Stephen Jusahz Speaks Today
Dr. Stephen Jusahz, editor of
the “Applied Mechanics Review”
for Southwest Research Institute
in San Antonio, will speak Thurs
day afternoon at Texas A&M
University.
Jusahz’s talk, “Birth Control of
Technical Literature,” is set for
2 p.m. in the School of Architec
ture auditorium, announced Dr.
Thomas J. Kozik, professor of
mechanical engineering.
Kozik said Jusahz is a special
ist in information retrieval with
a number of patents and publica
tions to his credit.
Jusahz was educated in Hun
gary and Sweden. He worked at
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology before joining Southwest
Research.
Dr. James H. Earle, Engineer
ing Graphics Department head,
and Dr. J. D. Lindsay, chemical
engineering professor emeritus,
were honored Wednesday with top
faculty awards by Texas A&M’s
College of Engineering.
Earle received the $1,400 Gen
eral Dynamics Award for teach
ing excellence and Lindsay the
$200 Charles Crawford Award
for special contributions to im
provements of A&M’s engineering
program.
The award to Earle was pre
sented by Forrest E. Armstrong,
1947 A&M graduate in aero
nautical engineering. He is chief
project engineer on General Dy
namics’ FB-111 strategic bomber.
Other highlights of awards
ceremonies included presentation
of certificates to three of the 825
engineering seniors for outstand
ing accomplishments in scholastic
and university-community activi
ties.
Dr. J. George H. Thompson,
selection committee chairman,
gave awards to Pat G. Rehmet
of Alice in civil engineering,
Barry Erwin Morgan of Bryan
in aerospace engineering, and
Leon Edward Travis III of San
Antonio in electrical engineering.
Engineering Dean Fred J. Ben
son praised Dr. Earle as “a good
idea man.”
“He’s always coming up with
something new and different that
is good for our program,” Benson
said. “Jim took over the Engi
neering Graphics Department
four years ago and has done a
remarkable job of revitalization.
He and his staff work each se
mester with industries in order
to bring freshmen into contact
with industrial people, thus giving
a big boost to our program.”
“Dr. Lindsay, since his retire
ment in 1965, has worked with
our Junior Engineering Technical
Society program,” he pointed out.
“He has done a great job in
helping recruit fine students. This
was the main criteria for his
selection.”
Lindsay, who joined A&M in
1938, is first recipient of the
Crawford Award since Dr. John
C. Calhoun Jr. was honored in
1963. Calhoun is now A&M’s vice
president for programs. Profes
sor Crawford in mechanical en
gineering and Norman Rode in
electrical engineering received
identical plaques in 1962.

Better Road
Illumination
Better communication between
basic researchers and designers
of illumination systems was urged
Wednesday by Dr. Neilon J.
Rowan in the final session of a
three-day driving visibility sym
posium at Texas A&M University.
Rowan, head of the driving
environment division of the Texas
Transportation Institute, said ap
plied research is the best way for
researchers and designers to mix.
“Basic researchers need to con
centrate on final research results
and learn to speak the language
of people who are to use the
product, Rowan emphasized. “To
day’s terrific pace demands that
designers have a better under
standing of fundamentals and
facts.”
“Applied research people must
work harder to recognize the
power of research and design,” he
added. “They can be the bridge
that closes the breach in the com
munications gap.”
Dr. Everett Strong, speaking
for the Illuminating Engineering
Research Institute, symposium
sponsor, said researchers and de
signers must be more versatile
to apply information from other
disciplines to problems.
