Meteorologists’ Worry
Is Still Houston’s Dirty Air
THE BATTALION
Wednesday, July 2, 1969
College Station, Texas
Page 3
Study of Houston’s air pollu
tants and their distribution by
Texas A&M scientists will con
tinue into 1970 under a $53,028
Public Health Service grant.
Directed by A&M meteorology
professor John F. Griffiths, the
investigation has been in progress
since mid-196 7
He said third-year work will
emphasize the microscale as
more immediately applicable to
the Houston area. Previous stud
ies were on the mesoscale, a me
teorological term used in refer
ence to an area 10 to 100 miles
in diameter.
“We will look more during the
coming year at microscale prob
lems, such as carbon monoxide
from automobile exhausts, its
buildup and dispersion near
downtown freeways,” Griffithis
said.
A&M’s Microform
Unknown To Most
i

Few users of Texas A&M’s
library know there is a ninth
level in the stacks, in a 17-by-22
foot room in the third floor
Special Collections.
The library’s microform collec
tion is located there.
"If all the material contained
in this collection were housed by
the library in original printed
form, it would probably require
more space than one of the new
building’s main floors provides,”
commented Jack Smith, assistant
director for public services.
Printed material reproduced
photographically on microfilm,
microfiche, microcard and micro
print are filed in the collection.
Not currently listed in the
public catalogue on the first
floor, the materials are available
on a “help yourself” basis during
all hours the library is open.
Fifteen readers in a nearby room
enlarge images to readable size.
Special collections is open only
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., explained
Mrs. Evelyn King, special col
lections librarian.
Microforms includes 130 news
paper titles, including the Lon
don Times from 1785, Houston
Post since Aug. 19, 1880; Dallas
Morning News since the turn of
the century, the Wall Street
Journal, Christian Science Moni
tor, New York Times and the
old Houston Telegraph and Texas
Register, the state’s first impor
tant newspaper.
Back issues of the Battalion
and Bryan Daily Eagle also are
microfilmed for reference.
“The library couldn’t have
some of these publications except
in microform,” Mrs. King noted,
pointing to Spanish Archives of
New Mexico (1621 to 1821),
Bexar Archives of the University
of Texas (1730 to 1803), some
“Presidential Papers” guided
and indexed in the collection and
a few early copies of the Mexican
Citizen, published in La Villa de
Austin in 1831.
“Besides space savings and
having materials on hand not
obtainable by the library in any
other way, this form of holding
is more durable,” the special col
lections librarian said.
Newspapers, printed on poor
quality paper, quickly become
brittle. Bindings of regular
hardcover books deteriorate and
must be redone occasionally.
Savings in periodicals binding is
considerable. The library division
has Life, Saturday Review and
Ebony on firm.
Cost of microfilmed material
is reasonable and projection-type
readers are relatively trouble
free, Mrs. King added.
The time and space study of
atmospheric pollutants is perfect
ing suitable diffusion equations
that can be used in air pollution
studies for any area.
Development of the equation
will enable scientists to insert
meteorological information and
pollution source strength to de
termine where the pollutant goes
and its concentration at various
levels, ground and aloft.
Samples to determine types
and strengths of pollutants are
taken in the air by specially-
equipped helicopter. City climate,
weather conditions, nature and
source of pollutants and topog
raphy are taken into account in
using the model equation.
Working with Griffiths during
the current year will be a visit
ing professor from England and
a new faculty member, Dr. Den
nis Driscoll. He is coming to
A&M following completion of
doctoral studies at the University
of Wisconsin.
Prof. Gordon Manley is pro
fessor emeritus in environmental
science at England’s University
of Lancaster.
Griffiths returned to the work
earlier this year from faculty
development leave in Nairobi,
Kenya, for work on a book cov
ering East Africa climate. Fill
ing as principal investigator
during his absence was Dr. Dar
ryl Randerson. Originally from
Houston, he derived the model
equation.

‘Head-Hunting’ On Campuses
“Head - hunting” flourished in
the face of college campus dis
orders in 1968-69.
Recruiting for college gradu
ates at the bachelor’s degree level
rose to an all-time high during
the period, according to Robert C.
Reese, Texas A&M placement di
rector.
A&M is one of 135 colleges
and universities which annually
participate in the College Place
ment Council’s Salary Survey.
Bachelor offers reported in the
Life Science’s ‘Fishing Hole’
Tells Where The Fish Went
Texas A&M’s $84,000 “fishing
hole”—technically called a com
puterized monitoring unit—could
be the fisherman’s dream come
true.
It tells which way the fish
went, or is going, explained Dr.
Herman Kleerekoper, a Canadian
zoologist who employs computers
in fish behavioral research.
“We have already analyzed—
rather extensively — components
of locomotion,” Kleerekoper said.
“A variety of practical prob
lems we hope to know more about
concerns how the fish move

about,” he added.
“You have to first know what
is going on,” Kleerekoper con
tinued.
He joined A&M’s Institute of
Life Science last year after 20
years at McMaster University
in Canada. He was joined here
by five graduate students.
Kleerekoper said he is using
the fish to unravel some of the
problems of migration and “how
they find ftheir* way around.”
“We want to seek how fish move
about,” he described. “Then, we
want to see how they respond
to such things as odor, light, tem
perature and currents, for ex
ample.”
“We want to know what en
vironment means to him,” he said.
This is being accomplished
through a sophisticated, monitor
ing technique.
The fishing hole, a 4,000-gallon,
256-square-foot tank, has 2,000
photoelectric cells built into the
floor. Lights placed above the
tank cast the fish shadow on the
cells which form part of an elec
tric circuit connected to a small
computer.
Kleerekoper explained the com
puter figures out the position of
the cell passed over by the fish.
“It then makes a number of
calculations which give the speed
at which the fish swims and its
direction as well as angle of
turns,” he said.
The results are recorded on
magnetic tape and typed.
Kleerekoper said his graduate
students are studying the effects
of smell, hormone influences on
locomotion as applying to season
al behavior and social aspects—
whether a fish reacts different
alone and when other fish are
present.
CPC Survey went up to 11 per
cent over last year and nine per
cent over 1966-67, the former
peak year, Reese reported. Vol
ume at the master’s and doctoral
levels continued to decline, drop
ping 35 and 41 per cent and 31
and 43 per cent, respectively, for
the last two years.
Council data are based on ac
tual offers made to male students
at the three degree levels at
representative institutions, Reese
added.
Of 16 types of employers cov
ered in the bachelor degree study,
only four made fewer offers than
in the former 1966-67 record year.
Reese said public accounting
firms, continuing a trend of five
years, recorded the largest dollar
value increase. They raised their
average offer 10.7 per cent since
June, 1968, and 20.3 per cent
since June, 1967.
Largest increases in beginning
salary offers thus went to ac
counting major?. are b e i n £
offered a monthly average of
$761. Next in gains was physics-
chemistry-mathematics, to $784.

BATTALION CLASSIFIED
Reese indicated chemical engi
neers were third in gains but
receive the highest average offer
— $849 — at the bachelor level.
Electrical engineering was second
dollar-wise at $826.
Average for techincal Students
rose 6.8 per cent to $819. The
non-technical students average,
pulled up by the sizeable account
ing increase, advanced 8.2 per
cent to $711.
Though volume dropped at the
advanced degree levels, gains in
dollar averages were made. At
the master’s level, increases ap
proximated those at the bache
lor’s level. Doctoral level dollar
increases were more modest,
Reese noted.
