THE BATTALION
General Telephone Donates
New Electronic Equipment
General Telephone of the
Southwest has presented Texas
A&M electronic equipment used
by the Chemistry Department for
“blackboard-by-wire” instruction
of industrial personnel in several
Texas cities.
Presentation of the remote
teaching equipment was author
ized by L. Gray Beck, General
Telephone of the Southwest pres
ident. The company is headquar
tered in San Angelo.
President Earl Rudder accept
ed donation of the $3,120-valued
equipment from Carl Yancey of
the company’s general marketing
department in San Angelo and
B. A. Erwin, Bryan division man
ager.
Major equipment components
are a pair of Electrowriters and
data sets, by which visual ma
terial is transmitted via tele
phone circuits. The gear has
been in use several years in the
department headed by Dr. A. E.
Martell.
“The program has led to many
participants’ enrollment here as
degree candidates,” Martell not
ed. “It also is a valuable means
of liaison with industry.”
Dr. Edward A. Meyers and Dr.
A. F. Isbell, two of eight chemis-^
try faculty members who instruct
blackboard-by-wire classes, said
17 separate courses of 20 to 42
participants each have been con
ducted for industrial groups.
Former Student, Prof Hold
First Post-Grad Yet Course
DR. PAARLBERG
Dr. Donald R. Howard teamed
up with a former prof, Dr. Walde
Keller of Michigan State Univer
sity, to conduct the first post
graduate course of the year for
practicing veterinarians.
Howard, assistant professor of
Veterinary Surgery and Medicine,
and Keller, chairman of Michi
gan’s Department of Veterinary
Surgery and Medicine, opened
this week in the new Veterinary
Medicine Administration Build
ing.
The specialized material is lim
ited to 12 practicing veterina
rians during each school. Repre
sentatives are from both Texas
and Louisiana.
“The program is one of con
tinuing education to the practic
ing veterinarian,” said Howard,
“on a concentrated subject.”
It is the first of six postgrad
uate courses planned by the col
lege this year.
a National Institute of Healj
fellow at Stanford, will prew
material on “acute cases” of o|l
thalmic problems. These inclti
instances where there “are sift
of pain, excess tearing, or stii
tivity,” Howard said.
Other ocular problems wfllk
elude corneal ulceration, keratl
sicca, glaucoma, epiphora and a
tropion.
Dr. Paarlberg IsTo BeBanquet Speaker
For 17th Farm And Ranch Credit School
Sessions include demonstra
tions, lectures and “wet” labs
dealing with ophthalmic prob
lems common in canines, added
Howard. “Wet” labs are actual
surgical procedures.
Howard added he and Keller,
One of the nation’s best known
agricultural economists — Dr.
Don Paarlberg of Purdue Uni
versity — will deliver the ban
quet address during the 17th an
nual Farm and Ranch Credit
School for Commercial Bankers

day.

PREP TALK
Dr. Walde Keller (center) explains surgical preparations
prior to actual surgery to practicing veterinarians in the
first postgraduate course of the year. Keller, chairman of
Michigan State University’s Department of Veterinary
Surgery and Medicine, is conducting the course with a
former student. Dr. Donald R. Howard (not shown), who
is now an assistant professor of surgery and medicine in
the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Students interested in summer
jobs in Germany may receive
assistance from Lufthansa Air
lines, announced David Anson,
representative for the Texas
Association of German Students.
Anson said Lufthansa will
guarantee summer work for stu
dents who have studied the Ger
man language at least two semes
ters and offer them a special
reduced rate for air fare.
The TAGS representative said
the roundtrip fare is $283 from
New York to Frankfurt, Ger
many.
TAGS is helping coordinate the
project for the German airline.
Anson noted brochures relating
to the summer work program are
available through the Modern
Languages Department here. He
also said information may be ob
tained by contacting the Bryan-

tative, Mrs. Sigrid Carter, at
823-8718.

banquet is set for Tuesday.
“Dr. Paarlberg is an agricul
tural economist of national
prominence and has been a dis
tinguished professor of agricul
tural economics at Purdue Uni
versity since 1961,” Wolf said.
Before his appointment at Pur
due, Paarlberg was Food for
Peace Coordinator and special as
sistant to President Eisenhower.
He served eight years in Wash
ington, D. C., during the Eisen
hower Administration, five in the
Department of Agriculture and
three on the White House staff.
Larsen To Speak

The Mormon’s position concern
ing other faiths and why there
is a Mormon Church will be the
topic presented at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, sponsored by the Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints, 101 N. Coulter.
In the Department of Agricul
ture, he was first assistant to the
secretary of agriculture and then
assistant secretary of agricul
ture.
Guest speaker will be Dean
Larsen, president of the Texas
South Mission in San Antonio,
according to Elder Daniel Buys.
The special meeting includes a
question and answer period, and

Space Impact
To Benefit
Civilian World
Out of man’s probe in space
and his quest to put a man on the
moon this year has developed a
remote sensing program which
may revolutionize society.
It is not military, as one might
first venture to guess, said Dr.
John W. Rouse Jr., but a pro
gram of economic impact to be
realized by the public.
Remote sensing continues to
emerge from the “strictly techni
cal literature into national atten
tion,” said Rouse, acting direc
tor of the Remote Sensing Cen
ter here.
Earth resources satellites, cost
ing nearly $7 million to activate,
are expected to return that
amount in a few months, once
they are ready for launching.
“One aspect of this activity,”
said Rouse, “centers on the fact
that orbital altitudes provide a
unique perspective of the earth.”
“To optimally employ this per
spective in improving the scien
tific understanding and utiliza
tion of the planet requires the use
of orbiting remote sensors capa
ble of recording this unique in
formation,” Rouse added.
He admitted, however, there
are several problems which must
be solved before the potential of
orbital remote sensors is realized.
“It is incumbent upon the
science and engineering that
fashioned the ingenious technol
ogy which made possible space-
flight to utilize this near incredi
ble accomplishment to the better
ment of all mankind,” Rouse em
phasized.
Remote sensor technology, he
continued, has obtained extreme
sophistication, but mostly as mili
tary instruments.
“A major task of present con
cern is that of reorienting the
sensor technology to serve the
purposes of the general com
munity,” Rouse went on, “espe
cially the earth sciences-ocean-
ography, meteorology and agri
culture.”
He stressed there are many
contributions to be made by re
mote sensors, other than mili
tary. Among them are surveys
and monitoring.
For example, remote sensors
“could completely survey all of
the world’s crops,” pointed out
Rouse. He said it would provide
man with the knowledge of how
to provide adequately as poor
crop yields were discovered.
Another possibility, he cited,
would be determining wave con
ditions in the North Atlantic
Ocean.
