THE BATTALION Thursday, May 23, 1968 Page 14 College Station, Texas Welch Grants To Aid Study By Chemists Welch Foundation research a- wards to Texas A&M this year include $402,000 for investiga tions by Chemistry Department faculty members. Nine grants to chemistry pro jects for the next three years total $390,000, announced Dr. A. D. Suttle Jr., vice president for research who is A&M’s foundation representative. “The Welch grants are an im portant part of the chemistry department’s effort in building our graduate program,” noted Dr. A. E. Martell. The department head said fa culty research projects also sup port graduate students studying for Ph.D.s and post-doctoral re search associates who remain for further development of profes sional abilities. MARTELL SAID the depart ment’s Welch support includes the remainder of a previously awarded grant to a new faculty member who will join the staff June 1. Dr. Wallace M. Pasika, present ly at East Texas State, is con ducting research in high poly mers and macromolecular chem istry. Welch grant recipients and their research include: Dr. Choo-Seng Giam, assistant professor, $30,000, “Substituent Parameters in Nitrogen Hetero cycles.” Dr. K. Gerald Hampton, as sistant professor, $30,000, “For mation and Reactions of Multiple Anions.” Dr. Herman A. Liebhafsky, pro fessor, $60,000, “Rates and Me chanisms of Reactions.” DR. JACK H. Lunsford, assis tant professor, $30,000, “Structure and Reactivity of Adsorbed. Ox ides of Nitrogen.” Dr. Ronald D. Macfarlane, pro fessor, $60,000, ’’Behavior of At oms and Molecules in Sonic and Supersonic Fluid Flow.” Dr. A. E. Martell, professor, $60,000, “Polynuclear Metal Che late Clusters.” Dr. Karl H. Pearson, assistant professor, $30,000, “Cotton Ef fect in Coordination Compounds Containing Monodentate Li gands.” Dr. T. T. Sugihara, professor, $60,000, “Nuclear Reactions In duced by He3 and He4 Ions.” Dr. Farley Fisher, assistant pro fessor, $30,000, “Cyclopropyl Ca tions.” FOODSPSCXiUJS Top EG Honors Given To Huey, Matlock, Neligh Winner of the 1968 T. R. Spence competition as outstanding en gineering graphics student here is Andrew M. Huey, chemical en gineering major from Dallas. Huey received an engraved' gold watch provided by an endowment from Bovay Engineers of Hous ton- Second place honors went to Stanley M. Matlock, civil engine ering major from Center, and Douglas K. Neligh, nuclear en gineering major from Sacramento, Calif., was third. The contest is named in honor of T. R. Spence, engineer and Aggie who headed the physical plant here for many years. Design project results were an nounced by the T. R. Spence com petition committee: engineering graphics professors Samuel M. Cleland, L. E. Stark and Paul M. Mason. Competing students had 10 days to design a demountable struc tural frame to be attached to a space capsule for lifting assembly packages and moving them into the capsule. Entries consisted of a statement of the problem, pre liminary sketches, graphical and vector analyses, top and front view sketches, and working draw ings of all moving parts of the frame. Huey made his entry as a mem ber of Cleland’s class. Matlock and Neligh study engineering graphics under Stark. Departmental instructors con sider competition in design and presentation of ideas to be valu able preparation for engineering careers, Cleland said.
