Analog Computer
Awarded To A&M
Standard Oil Co. of Texas
(Chevron) has awarded Texas
A&M a highly specialized analog
computer for use in geophysics
instruction and research.
Formal presentation was made
by John Northwood, chief geo
physicist for the Houston-based
firm, to Dr. Terry W. Spencer,
head of the university’s Geo
physics Department.
Dr. Spencer said the $17,500
computer, known as a seismoline,
is designed to help geophysicists
better understand the structure
of the earth. He explained the
machine simulates elastic wave
propagations.
Standard Oil of Texas designed
and built the computer for its
own use in exploration but has
since converted to digital com
puters.
Spencer said he is developing
a series of experiments to utilize
the equipment in two undergrad
uate courses. He added it also
may be used in research.
The professor noted Dr. Hilmi
Sagoci of Houston, senior staff
geophysicist for the oil company,
was instrumental in arranging
donation of the seismoline to
Texas A&M.
Largest Foreign
Group Dominican
Texas A&M now has 85 Domin
ican Republic students, the larg
est on-campus group from one
foreign country.
The new high was reached
when 20 Dominicans arrived at
A&M last week to study English
before enrolling in regular
courses of study this fall.
William E. Beach of the A&M
Office of International Programs
said the latest students are the
third group to come to the uni
versity in the past two years.
Eighteen will work toward BS
degrees in agricultural education
and two toward BS degrees in
industrial education.
He said the Dominican Repub
lic is engaged in a vast educa
tional improvement program,
particularly in agriculture, and
there is a priority need for voca
tional teachers.
The Dominicans already at
A&M have established a record
of academic excellence, Beach
emphasized.
The latest group is attending
A&M under the auspices of the
Educational Credit Foundation of
Santo Domingo in the Dominican
Republic.

Texas A&M faculty this summer
