They are Dr. Richard J. Hidal go and Dr. Charles W. Living ston of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s veterinary microbiolo gy department. Dean A. A. Price noted that certification means “both men have passed a written board ex amination and are declared mem bers of the national board.” Response to an appeal to help needy Bryan - College Station families have a real Christmas is underway with the first major donation by YMCA officers.

(AP Wirephoto) Police Training Division Chief Says College Degree Needed Livingston earned his B.S. de gree from Sul Ross College in 1946 and hi s DVM at A&M in 1955 at which time he joined the Agriculture Experiment Station at the Sonora Ranch substation. Receiving his M.S. degree from A&M in 1961, Livingston trans ferred to the College of Veteri nary Medicine in 1963. On leave of absence to com plete his Ph.D. requirements at the University of Nebraska, Liv ingston specializes in sheep dis eases. “The mints are a good start to what we hope will be a very successful effort,” Weston add ed. Weston is YMCA general secretary and religious life co ordinator. A veteran police educator who “shook doors” on a midnight walking beat as a rookie before working his way up to chief of police said it’s “not even in fo cus” when queried how soon uni versities might staff police de partments with “degree officers.” “I put a lot of value on train ing and feel there is a need for a degree program, but a degree is not going to make a police of ficer,” said Ira E. Scott, chief of A&M’s Police Training Division. The division has been assist ing community police depart ments since the early 1930’s and is the only university police ex tension school in the state. Scott’s reply appeared to re pute recent statements from other universities that officers with degrees in police science would soon be able to step into key police department positions without benefit of experience and on-the-job training. “Officers must first be quali fied,” added Scott. He said they must have high moral character, good physical condition and “be a’ le to use good judgment.” “You can’t obtain all qualifi cations in a classroom” he con tinued. “Some of them can only be obtained through experience.” Chief of A&M’s Texas Engi neering Extension Service’s po lice division since 1967, Scott started his own law enforcement career in Lubbock in 1947 “pounding a beat.” He came here in 1954, but left six years later to serve as chief of police at Kingsville. He held the position until 1964 when he returned as supervisor of the polygraph school. “There is a need for a college in the state to offer a degree in police administration and police science,” he emphasized, noting several junior colleges now con fer associate degrees in police science. Students currently can not pursue such degree plans in a senior college in Texas. Scott admitted he felt state colleges should start thinking about a baccalaureate degree. “We’re certainly living in an era that the college trained po liceman is needed,” he observed.

YOUR COMPLETE HALLMARK STORE AGGIELAND FLOWER & GIFT SHOPPE 209 University Dr., College Station “Police work is becoming more and more technical.” He pointed out many major police departments are slowly starting to require that appli cants have a minimum of two years formal training. He ex pects this to become a standard requirement within the next 10 years. “There is the other side of the coin,” he continued. “Before we can obtain these goals, we’re go ing to have to have something more to offer them than the low salaries officers are paid today.” While Scott sees a future need for a degree program, he is quick to add there is a need for a con tinuing police training program for the working policeman now. “We at A&M believe that our own program on an extension basis—as we take it out into the state to police departments who can’t spare their men—serves this need,” he said. “There is a real big problem that has yet to be discussed,” he added. “It’s the small town and its police problems.” Scott noted small towns are just as susceptible to crime as larger cities. “Since many of these smaller departments will not be able to hire officers with degrees, then it is all the more important that we continue to maintain an ex tension police training program which will serve their needs,” he stressed. Scott and his staff—all former top-ranking law enforcement of ficers—teach both theory and practical application. Scott’s division is not new to Texas officers. The first police conference conducted by Texas A&M extension personnel was held in Waco in 1933 with schools in Wichita Falls in 1934 and El Paso in 1935. The Vocational Board of Edu cation hired an itinerant instruc tor in 1938 to conduct police courses across the state. Trans ferred to A&M in 1940, the pro gram has been continued through the Extension Service in coopera tion with the Texas Education Agency. The program’s enroll ment has averaged over 1,000 of ficers a year since 1958. On August 29, 1968, A&M’s police division became the first training unit in the state to be certified by the newly organized State Commission on Law En forcement Standards and Educa tion. Hidalgo joined A&M’s faculty in 1966 after receiving his M.S. and Ph.D. degree from Louisiana State University. He earned his DVM at A&M in 1962. Weston has appealed to stu dents and faculty-staff members to join the drive for food and clothing for families who will not have a Christmas unless the peo ple respond. He emphasized all items do nated to the drive will be “placed in the hands of a family really in need.” In addition to food and cloth ing, Weston said the opportunity is available for a university fam ily to “adopt” a family for Christmas. “Students and faculty - staff members wanting a more per sonal contact may obtain a fam- WELL-KNOWN MAN HELENA, Mont. <A>) — Large corporations usually receive mail in a post office drawer.

Time: Dec. 12, 1968 at 3:30 p. m. emic Bldg. Place : Room 401, Academic George W. Kunze Dean of Graduate Studies A $114,398 grant for contin ued research into diet control of the metabolism of fat has been approved by the National Institute of Arthritis and Metab olic Diseases, announced Con gressman Olin E. Teague. The research, conducted by Dr. Raymond Reiser, has been under way here since 1949 and started through an Atomic Energy Commission grant. Several aspects of the way tissues produce fat are under investigation by Reiser and his associates. Fat is produced by animals and plants by two routes, formation of glycerol and fatty acids which combine to form the substance. Work involves determining how the molecules are synthe sized, how the cell controls amounts and texture of fat pro duced, how it is deposited and digestive mechanisms. “Also involved are developing techniques for handling the very, very small quantities involved and a broader investigation into the differences of fats between mammals and fish,” Reiser con tinued. Working in the project, orig inally for seven years and ex tended for three more, are Dr. Nestor R. Bottino Jr. and Dr. Carter Litchfield of the A&M faculty, post-doctoral fellows Dr. K. Raju and Dr. Ananda Rao of India and Dr. Eberhard Haeff- ner of Germany, six graduate students working toward the Ph.D. and several technicians.
