Army Reservists
Douse Fires Here
U. S. Army Reservists of the
420th Engineer Brigade doused
a variety of fires last Thursday
at Texas A&M’s Brayton Fire
men’s Training Field to demon
strate skills acquired in two
weeks of training for Brig. Gen.
Joe G. Hanover.
House, propane and oil tank
fires fell before the 23 citizen-
soldiers’ attack.
Two weeks ago, only one of
the two dozen knew anything
about fire fighting. Until last
Monday, the same number had
never handled a “live” (water-
pressured) line.
Personnel of the Firemen
Training Division of the Texas
Engineering Extension Service
conducted the special school for
the 463rd Engineer Platoon (fire
fighting) of Huntsville.

GENERAL VIEWS TRAINING
Brig. Gen. Joe G. Hanover, commander of the 420th Engineer Brigade, watches soldiers of
the unit’s firefighting platoon move in to douse an oil tank fire on Brayton Training Field
at Texas A&M. Personnel of the 463rd Engineer Platoon of Huntsville conclude two weeks
training Friday with the firemen’s training division of the Texas Engineering Extension
Service.
Through efforts of Chief Hen
ry D. Smith, John R. Rauch,
James R. Dobson, Tom Robinson
and W. B. Dorman of the division,
the soldiers will be MOS (military
occupational specialty) qualified
Friday.
“We have aspired to accomp
lish this sort of training over
several years in the past,” stated
General Hanover, 4 2 0th com
mander of Bryan.
“What has been accomplished
in these two weeks will be far
reaching as far as the military
reserves go. The technical train
ing given these men in two weeks
had not been done over a period
of years previously,” the brigade
commander added.
“I look forward to similar
training for our new people in
the future,” he went on.
Roemer Wins $1,000 Post-Grad Scholarship
Lamar B. Roemer of Houston
will enter Texas A&M this fall
for graduate study in oceanog
raphy under a $1,000 NCAA Post
graduate Scholarship.
An outstanding student and
tennis player at Trinity Univer
sity in San Antonio, Roemer will
study for master and doctoral
degrees at A&M.
He will join Randy Matson.
The world record-setting shotput-
ter is studying for a master’s de
gree in business under an NCAA
postgraduate scholarship.
Reomer received his bachelor
degree in mathematics at Trinity
last spring. He was an outstand
ing student and played in the
number two spot on Trinity’s
nationally prominent tennis team
coached by Clarence Mabry.
The blond, 6-foot-6 student was
the state Class 4A singles cham
pion while playing at Lamar High
in Houston. The 1964 Lamar
graduate is the son of D. A.
Roemer, 4049 Overbrook, Hous
ton.

NSF Awards $25,000 Grant
For Research In Limestone
Texas A&M research of how
limestone becomes rock has been
granted $25,000 National Science
Foundation support.
Dr. Richard Rezak of the
Oceanography Department will
head the two-year investigation
that may benefit submarine con
struction, the oil industry, geol
ogy and other fields.
Laboratory study of marine al
gae that secrete various kinds
of lime and the possible artificial
creation of cemented limestone
will be principal avenues of at
tack, according to Rezak, a ma
rine geologist formerly with the
U. S. Geological Survey in Den
ver and Shell Development Corp.
of Houston.
The associate professor said
several kinds of algae will be
grown in the lab. Skeletons will
be analyzed mineralogically and
organically to determine the cause
of lime secretions.
Dorms Operating As ‘Hotels’
For Numerous Campus Visitors
An instructional pause at Tex
as A&M will be difficult to dis
cern this week.
Summer session students wrote
their last finals Friday afternoon
and regular course work will not
resume until Sept. 16, first day
of fall semester classes.
But meeting rooms and dormi
tories will remain busy.
Housing director Allen Madeley
said two halls are operating on
a “hotel” basis for students who
have to be on campus and three
others will be in use this week
by off-campus university person
nel here for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service State Conference.
Other dorms are closed.
In addition, the sixth Naval Re
search Seminar and Police Com
munity Relations Institute are
under way with about 150 parti
cipants involved.
TAES Assistant Director V.
G. Young said about 725 persons
will reside in Dorms 14, 15 and

CLEANERS
16 through Friday.
“This is our total field staff,”
Young noted. “With personnel on
campus, about 850 will be in
volved in the conference which
is held every two years.”
Madeley indicated “40 to 60,
maybe more, are residing in
Dorms 17 and 22 between the
summer and fall semesters. These
are international students, a fel
low may only be here three or
four days before he goes on an
oceanography cruise, or a stu
dent just staying overnight to
see his dean.”
He noted that part of the off
season dormitory residents are
Billy Pickard’s trainers who are
preparing for the start of varsi
ty football practice this week.
“From there, we will go to ex
periments with loose carbonate
sediments to see if artificial
limestone can be created,” he
added.
Dr. Rezak, graduate of Syra
cuse and Washington (St. Louis)
Universities, said the secrets of
limestone formation could yield
ways of stabilizing bottoms for
submarine construction and the
creation and destruction of poro
sity.
“Oil reservoirs are formed in
porous rock, which allows oil to
pool,” he noted. “Nearby may
be tightly cemented limestone.
If we can determimne how and
why cementation of the calcium
carbonate compound takes place,
it would be possible to predict
the location of oil-bearing strata
more precisely.”
Algae for the research project
will be collected in the Florida
keys, Rezak said. He was on a
recent cruise of the Alaminos,
A&M’s research ship, which spent
six days in the Dry Tortugas for
collection of culture specimens.
The professor said a graduate
student will join the project in
September.
The lowest body of water in the
Western Hemisphere, Badwater
pool, lies 280 feet below sea level
in Death Valley, Calif.
