Early To Bed, Early To Rise
Can Make Deer Hunting Easy
White-tailed deer are teaching
Texas A & M researchers that
hunting lore of yesteryear is
amazingly correct most of the
time.
A key discovery by Dr. Jack
M. Inglis and Ron Hood of A&M’s
Wildlife Science Department in
dicates deer are even more pro
vincial than many experts be
lieve.
The researchers observed also
that deer “go to bed with the
chickens.”
Inglis, assistant professor of
wildlife science, and Hood, wild
life graduate student from Bay-
town, pored over stacks of data
collected in extensive radio track
ing studies.
Their research was conducted
between February, 1967, and Jan
uary, 1968, at the Welder Wild
life Refuge near Sinton.
Inglis and Hood shouldered
tranquilizer guns to stop deer
long enough to strap on collars
containing minute radio trans
mitters. They then “tracked” the
deer with remote sensing equip
ment.
“We tracked a yearling buck
a long time,” Inglis noted. “With
a fix every 16 minutes for 690
fixes, we stayed right with him.
Surprisingly, a data check showed
he never moved out of a one-
fourth square mile area in which
he was marked.”
Hood heard virtually the same
story by eavesdropping on a fe
male deer.
“The old gal sulked the first
week after being tranquilized, 1
he reported. “After staying in
small bottomland area along the
Aransas River for four months,
she moved to high ground when
Hurricane Beulah hit. She sorta
took her range along . . . never
moved outside a quarter square
mile area.”
“We knew all along that deer
have a small range,” Inglis ex
claimed, “but we never dreamed
they would be this restricted.”
Researchers logged notations
after each reading as to whether
deer were moving or still. Later,
they checked percentages of times
the deer were moving or still dur
ing a specified period.
Observations by Inglis and
Hood will undoubtedly be of in
terest to deer hunters. They in
dicate deer bounce out of bed at
daybreak, become most active
around noon, again a little be
fore dusk, and finally at mid
night.
“There are two peaks of acti
vity in winter,” Hood related.
“Deer move around pretty well
all day long and at midnight.
That’s it!”
All deer, the surveyors insisted,
undoubtedly take a “coffee break”
from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. through
out the year.
“This information will no doubt
be interesting to the headlight-
ers,” Inglis chuckled. “They can
just wait until midnight to go
hunting.”
4 Short Courses Set
For Electronics
TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT

ers on the mound at Oakland Coliseum. Northrup charged Athletic pitcher Jack Aker
after he was hit by a pitched ball. A huge brawl involving players from both teams took
place following the incident delaying the game for 15 minutes. (AP Wirephoto)
Aggies Help—One Way Or Another
Texas A&M students are deter
mined to help U. S. troops in
Vietnam—one way or another.
The Aggies held a blood drive
in December for wounded fight
ing men, recalled Dean of Stu
dents James P. Hannigan, but
student body leaders were later
informed by the Defense Depart
ment the blood was not needed.
Blood Services of Houston, the
firm which collected the blood,
offered to pay $2,562 to settle
the account.
Not to be outdone, the A&M
students have now turned the
money over to the USO office
in Dallas, with the stipulation to
be earmarked for use in Vietnam.
Two electronics short courses
based primarily on practical ap
plication are set this summer at
Texas A&M’s Institute of Elec
tronic Science.
Both schools, June 3 through
July 12, and July 15 through Aug
ust 23, parallel regular summer
sessions at A&M, announced
Floyd Lambert, the institute’s
chief instructor.
“There are no pre-requisites for
this course,” Lambert said. “All
candidates need do is demonstrate
ability to assimilate the informa
tion offered.”
“The idea,” he continued, “is
to give people who think they
would like electronics an oppor
tunity to try it before they com
mit themselves to a college or ad
vanced study course. Practical
application of electronics through
experience is emphasized.”
Lambert said the short course
also will fill a need for college
students who plan to pursue en
gineering subjects.
He added that each course can
be taken independently or consec
utively as a combined effort.
All classes are to be conducted
at the Institute of Electronic
Science, located at A&M’s Re
search Annex.
Living accommodations, Lam
bert observed, are available in
annex dormitories.
Tuition is $180 for each course,
the chief instructor noted, with
an additional charge, not to
ceed $25, made for supplies,
Transistor studies, Laml*
said, are designed for radio an
teurs, radar operators, collegea
high school students who n
have special interest and ap
tudes in electronics. All will
taught techniques of designji
and prepared printed circuitsa
bread boarding transistorizedt
cuits, he continued.
Conference Cues
Plan Golf Tourn
School administrators andst]
ervisors at Texas A&M fori
annual June conference next»(
will play a golf tournament St
day on the campus course.
About 50 players are expeci
to compete for prizes provit
by Martin Hamilton of theBi
four Company. Trophies will
to the medalist, low net, lowpn
and high scores. Suitable prit
will be awarded for birdies,^
les and holes-in-one.
Play by the Calloway handki
system begins at 8 a.m. Siin4
announced Luke Harrison, A4
course manager who will conda
the tourney.
Winners will be announced
a conference general assent
Wednesday in the Memorial St
dent Center.
Junior Gymnastic
Group Scheduled
A College Station Recreation
Council program in tumbling will
register children Monday at the
A&M Consolidated Junior High
gymnasium.
Instructed by Lindy Baer, health
and physical education instructor
at Texas A&M, the six-week pro
gram will include three weekday
classes for two age-groups. Reg
istration starts at 9 a.m.
Baer has charge of the Health
and Physical Education Depart
ment gymnasium program. He
will be assisted by A&M students.
He said tumbling classes will
initiate with simple developmen
tal activities and exercises. La
ter, fundamentals including in
struction in vaulting, balance
beam work, hand balancing and
other activities will be added.
“We’ll keep the kids busy,” he
said. “They will be given a good
time, new experiences and the
opportunity to learn something.”
Two half-hour classes for five
to nine-year-olds will be from
9 and 9:30 a.m. Children 10 and
older will meet from 10 to 11
a.m. Registration fees of $2 per
student (5 to 9) and $3 (10 and
older) must be paid Monday.
Council programs in tumbling,
swimming, softball, bowling, golf,
tennis, art, crafts and other acti
vities are supported 1 by registra
tion fees, United Chest contribu
tions and city of College Station
support. Mrs. C. V. Wootan is
president of the council.
Course Offered
For SCUBA Divers
A summer basic SCUBA diving
course will be offered to both
men and women beginning June
13, William Schroder, chief in
structor, has announced.
All interested persons must be
at least 16 years old, pass a med
ical examination at the University
Hospital and pass a swimming
test, Schroder said.
A basic SCUBA certificate will
be awarded to those who success
fully complete the course.
SCUBA equipment will be pro
vided to participants, but each
student should have swim fins,
face mask and snorkel, he said.
The first meeting will be at
7 p.m. in Room 305, Goodwin Hall
on June 13. The class will meet
twice each week from 7 to 9:30
p.m. An $18 fee will be required.
