A retired railroad worker who
spent his younger days hunting
rabbits and picking dewberries on
the present site of the A&M li
brary now checks students on the
same spot for improperly marked
books.
J. W. Haygood, looking 10
years younger than his 75 years,
said, “I do it just to keep from
having time on my hands.” He
retired after 33 years and nine
months of railroading in Texas.
His location on campus is a
busy one. It’s reminiscent of the
“Elephant Walk” story where the
magnificent house was built
across the elephant’s trail.
Unlike the elephant story which
barred the great beasts from fol
lowing their ancestors down the
traditional walk, Aggies find
ready access and exit to the $3.8
million library which cut-off four
streets when it was built.
HAYGOOD DOESN’T know
for sure, but he estimates as
many as 5,000 students a day en
ter and leave the library which
opened last summer. Many of
them use it “only as a cut-
through” from one class to an
other, he added.
“They are not going to walk
around,” he said.
Haygood’s job is checking ev
ery student that passes his check
out counter.
“We’re not trying to catch
thieves, but errors in circulation,”
he emphasized.
He pointed out books, which
must have matching cards and
numbers, are sometimes mixed
up.
“When one book has the wrong
card, it means two books are
messed up,” he said.
HE NOTED students occasion
ally “get library books mixed-in
with textbooks” by accident. A
constant vigil helps to eliminate
many minor problems, he added.
“We actually catch them trying
to take books,” Haygood said,
quickly adding, “I think most of
them are real honest about it.”
Haygood admits it still takes
all kinds of people to make up
the world.
“Some of them don’t have re
spect for anybody, but most of
them are very nice,” he continued.
When improperly marked books
are discovered, students “offer
Final Rites Planned
For Carl M. Lyman
Dr. Carl Morris Lyman, retired
head of the Biochemistry and
Biophysics Department, died ear
ly Sunday morning in a local hos
pital.
Funeral services were planned
for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at the
First Christian Church in Bryan,
where Dr. Lyman had been an
elder. Burial will be in the Col
lege Station City Cemetery. Ar
rangements are by Hillier Fu
neral Home of Bryan.
Survivors are his wife, Louise,
of 604 Hensel Drive in Bryan;
his father, Carl Andrew Lyman
of Eugene, Ore.; a sister, Mrs.
Victor L. Hershiser of Electra,
Texas; and two brothers, Nor
man C. Lyman of Denver, Colo.,
and the Rev. W. Harold Lyman of
Salem, Ore.
Mrs. Lyman requested that in
addition to flowers, contributions
can be made toward a fellowship
in the Department of Biochemis
try and Biophysics or to the First
Christian Church Building Fund.
Dr. Lyman headed the Bio
chemistry and Biophysics Depart
ment for 19 years until his re
tirement last August. He then
joined the Department of Soil
and Crop Sciences as a professor
in cotton resarch.
THE SCIENTIST was consid
ered an international authority
on the biochemistry of animal
nutrition. His best known work
dealt with the development of
techniques for determining pro
teins (amino acids) in feedstuffs
by microbiological assay. He as
sisted in the discovery of Vita-
min-C and pentathenic acid.
He was also widely known for
his research on improving the nu
tritional value of cottonseed meal
by reducing the content of gos-
sypol, a toxic substance. Much
of his work has led to improve
ment of swine rations.
LYMAN CAME here in 1940
as biochemist with the Texas
LYMAN
Sea Grant Given
Ph.D. Candidate
Pan American Petroleum Foun
dation of Tulsa has awarded, a
$3,600 grant for a 1969-70 grad
uate fellowship in oceanography.
Dr. Richard A. Geyer, head of
the Oceanography Department,
said the fellowships will be
awarded to S. G. Edwards of
Houston, a Ph.D. candidate study
ing sedimentation of Mexican
coastal waters.

many different excuses,” he said.
RECENTLY confronting a stu
dent with an irregularly marked
book, Haygood was told, “I don’t
give a darn what kind of a card
it has!”
“Once it had been explained,
there was no problem,” he
stressed. Pressures, however,
from the many thousands of stu
dents exiting during a change in
classes often prevents a full ex
planation, he said.
Aero Students
Solve Problem
In Jet Travel
Agricultural Experiment Station
and was appointed head of the
Department of Biochemistry and
Nutrition in 1949. The depart
ment name has since been
changed to biochemistry and bio
physics.
He was graduated in 1931 from
the University of Oregon with a
BS degree in chemistry. His mas
ter’s degree in biochemistry came
from Oregon State College in
1933 and his doctorate in the
same field was in 1937 from the
University of Pittsburgh.
Aerospace engineering students
here have put an old gadget to
use in a new spot to solve a re
curring problem of jet air travel.
Miles L. Sawyer of Burnet and
James S. Wilbeck of Hungerford
engineered an indicator that
could give a jet pilot advance
warning of a potential flame-
out. It would be built into the
engine.
Sudden loss of power for a jet
aircraft is often caused by com
pressor stall, an aerodynamic
problem involving loss of engine
turbine efficiency. Similar to a
wing stall that causes loss of lift
when a plane’s air speed drops
too much, unchecked compressor
stall can leave a jet powerless on
the ground or in the air.
THROTTLE manipulation us
ually clears it up.
“In the phenomenon of com
pressor stall, a stall pocket forms
at the tip of a couple of turbine
blades,” explained Wilbeck.
“As stall increases, two pock
ets form, then three and so on
symetrically about the compres
sor wheel. The pockets of low
pressure air rotate with the tur
bine. It is both dangerous and
costly in terms of wasted fuel
and needed power. It also causes
vibration in the compressor
wheels and shaft,” he said.
“Only a few seconds can pass
from the time compressor stall
begins until the pilot corrects
throttle,” pointed out Sawyer, an
Air Force ROTC cadet and
Squadron 13 commander.
The senior aero majors’ instru
ment feels the stall when it first
begins and warns the pilot of
impending power loss.
IN THEIR research reported
to Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger in
a seminar course, Sawyer and
Wilbeck indicate a column or can
tilever beam-mass system built
into the engine could detect the
first pocket of low-pressure air.
“The beam is designed with a
resonant frequency correspond
ing to the frequency of one stall
pocket rotating at the same
angular velocity as the compres
sor,” Sawyer explained.
Retired Brig. General To Discuss
‘What’s Happened To Patriotism?’
Brigadier General Robert L.
Scott Jr., USAF (Ret.) will speak
March 24 at the Bryan Civic
Auditorium on “What’s Happened
to Patriotism?”
According to Dr. Charles R.
Douglas, a group of 20 local citi
zens have formed the Brazos
County TRAIN (To Restore
American Independence Now)
Committee. Dr. Douglas added
that the committee was formed
to emphasize their demand that
the United States stop aid to
communist countries since, he
reasoned, we are at war with
them in Vietnam. The TRAIN
Committee will sponsor General
Scott’s presentation.
Dr. Charles R. Douglas, the
group’s chairman, said the
TRAIN committee is circulating
petitions to Congress asking all
Senators and Representatives to
exert their authority and use
their influence to stop giving aid
to Communist countries.
Several Congressmen have al
ready indicated their support for
efforts to stop trade with Com
munist bloc nations, Dr. Douglas
added.
The petition campaign is only
part of TRAIN’S activities, Dr.
Douglas said. “We have also
launched a local speakers bureau
to get the truth before as many
area people as we can,” referring
to General Scott’s future presen
tation.
Tickets are available for the
program at the City National
Bank and First National Bank
in Bryan and the University Na
tional Bank in College Station.
