THE BATTALION

Dorm Life With* VarmiV
At Times i Cat-astrophic ,
Spotting a young ocelot crouching to spring is a startling
experience especially in a university dorm.
But visitors to John Richards’ room usually ducked, or
caught “Varmit” in mid-air.
Varmit, the ocelot, is less than three months old and
weighs about nine pounds. He has had the run of Richards’
dorm since John’s brother, Tom sent him from Nicaraguans a
gift.
“Tom paid four bucks for him,” said John. “I was
recently offered $300.”
Tom, an Aggie-ex, works for Global Marine Drilling Co.
in the Central American country.
John, who graduated from A&M Saturday and will enter
the University of Texas’ School of Dentistry, is going to keep
his cat.
“They make wonderful pets,” he added, “and they are
not dangerous.”
Varmit, which will grow to about 30 pounds, was
recently declawed at the College of Veterinary Medicine.
“It slowed him down a bit climbing trees, but he still
makes it,” John remarked.
“He was surprised when I took him fishing for the first
time,” John said. “We were on the end of the pier when he
decided to ‘pounce’ on the water.”
Sinking, he surfaced and struggled to shore.
When John marched in Saturday’s processional to
receive his bachelor’s degree in zoology, Varmit watched
forlornly from his fourth-floor window.
‘Tamunuts’ Latest
Cotton By-Product
High-protein food in addition
to fiber may come from cotton
fields of the future.
The double return from a cot
ton planting may result from de
velopment here of a new food
product, Tamunuts.
Tamunuts, developed at the
university’s Oilseed Products Re
search Center, come directly from
glandless cottonseed kernels. The
kernel is a glandless seed ob
tained through cross-breeding by
Dr. Scott McMichale in the 1940’s.
Tamunuts, toasted as a direct
consumption snack, are nut-like
flavored and slightly larger in
size than uncooked grains of rice.
In color, the unique foodstuff re
sembles a peanut.
PRODUCEABLE at half the
price of peanuts, Tamunuts are
eight per cent richer in protein
content and contain 10 per cent
less oil.
The nuts can be eaten as a
snack, included whole in candies
or ground into flour for more nu
tritive breads, cookies and other
bakery items, according to J. T.
Lawhon, Dr. Carl M. Cater and
Dr. Karl F. Mattil.
The trio recently reported their
experimental results at the Insti
tute of Food Technologists con
vention in Chicago.
Inquiries about Tamunuts are
now coming from food products
manufacturers throughout the
world, said Cater, oilseed center
director.
Not all varieties of cotton pro
duce suitable seed. All but a
crossbreed obtained by McMi-
chael bear seeds containing pig
ment glands that deter their use
as food.
THOUGH methods have been
sought of removing gossypol (a
polyphenolic compound in the
gland) from cottonseed, it wasn’t
until McMichael crossed a “Hopi
Moencopi” variety of Hopi In
dian cotton with upland varieties
that glandless seed appeared
through genetic elimination.
A&M research determined the
most tasteful way of using the
glandless seed as a food.
Lawhon, assistant research en
gineer and Tamunut project lead
er, said glandless cottonseed in
the A&M-process form could al
leviate dietary protein deficien
cies of the world and provides an
economic solution to the search
for unconventional Sources of
protein.
“If a country produces a cash
cotton crop as part of its econo
my, it can also supplement diets
through this protein source,” he
pointed out. Lawhon noted the
U. S. could also use such a low-
cost, high protein food source.
LAWHON, Cater and Mattil
investigated several methods of
preparing the glandless kernels,
Laboratory taste panel judging
indicated a toasting process pro
duced the most pleasant flavor.
Then public reaction to toasted
Tamunuts and Tamunut-products
was obtained at A&M’s Sbisa
Dining Hall cafeteria.
Consumers, unaware of the
source of Tamunuts, like them.
Dr. Cater indicated various un
tried uses of Tamunuts should be
examined but that “from here on,
it’s the food trades’ baby.”
He said mixing Tamunuts with
rice would enhance nutritive val
ue of the world’s most common
food. Among preparations by
A&M researchers were a peanut
butter-like spread, Tamunut pat
ties and Tamunut-popcom candy
balls.
The name Tamunuts, incorpor
ating A&M’s initials, was con
tributed by Mattil. He is food
products research coordinator for
the Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station and was with Swift
25 years.
English Department To Offer
Children’s Dramatics Course
Courses on children’s creative
dramatics and analysis of plays
by periods have been added to
the A&M theater arts curriculum
for this summer.
The three three-semester-hour
courses to be instructed by Prof.
C. K. Esten is part of planned
expansion of the English Depart
ment section.
A&M now offers 42 semester
hours of pure theater arts cours
es, Esten noted. He is an Eng
lish professor, and director of the
theater arts section and Aggie
Players.
A seminar-type course insti
tuted primarily for teachers,
children’s creative dramatics
(Theater Arts 365) will be of
fered both semesters. The course,
to be required for education maj
ors, will provide teachers with
techniques that can be used in
making subjects such as geogra
phy and history entertaining as
well as instructive, Esten said.
“Through dramatic technique,
students can create what they
study,” he explained. “They learn
more by enacting rather than be
ing spoon fed lessons.”
Theater Arts 486 and 487 also
will be electives. Esten said 486,
analysis of plays from Greece
through the middle of the Shake
spearean period, will be offered
during the first summer session,
June 3-July 11. Plays from the
Shakespeare period until the
present will be examined in 487,
scheduled for the July 15-Aug. 22
summer session.
The courses will involve study
of what plays were written in
certain periods, how each reflects
the customs and mores of the
period and how customs and
mores caused the play to be writ
ten.
Esten indicated there are no
prerequisites for the three cours
es, and that 486 does not neces
sarily have to precede 487.
Registration for the courses to
be offered during the first six-
week summer period will be Mon
day. Second session registration
will be on July 14.
