Looking to mankind’s present
and future food needs, Texas
A&M has established an Institute
of Food Science and Engineering
that will unite the university’s
multi-faceted programs for solv
ing worldwide nutritional prob
lems.
Establishment of the institute
was authorized by A&M’s Board
of Directors at its June meeting.
Implementation currently in
cludes selection of the institute
director and recommendation of
present faculty-staff members in
teaching, research and extension
who have active programs and
meet high standards of profes
sional competence.
The institute will team in a
separate department-type unit
food technology-related segments
of the university.
As a joint operation of A&iM’s
Agricultural and Engineering
Colleges, it will draw on proven
talents and programs in chemis
try, physics, mathematics, biol
ogy, engineering, nutrition, eco
nomics and other disciplines that
support food Science, according
to Agriculture Dean H. O. Kun-
kel and Engineering Dean Fred
J. Benson.
“A&M’s established compe
tence in numerous disciplines di
rectly related to food science,
services and management make
the university well qualified in
this area,” Kunkel said.
Result-producing programs in
utilization of glandless cotton
seed and fish protein concentrate
production are already in opera
tion at A&M.
Kunkel indicated the institute
director probably will be named
by this fall.
The dean said the institute’s
major objectives will be creation
of a center of excellence in teach
ing, research and extension pro
grams in food science, more ef
fective utilization of staff, exist
ing programs and physical re
sources, establishing interdepart
ment and intercollege participa
tion, stimulation of research and

science communication for stu
dents, staff, industry and gov
ernment agencies.
“Basically, it will focus ener
gies and attentions to areas of
possible important contribu
tions,” Kunkel enlarged.
“The institute will provide vis
ibility as much as anything else,”
he continued, “and in so doing,
may eventually look to a differ
ent organizational arrangement.
Until then, institute members
will remain on the faculties of
the several departments.”
Recommended staff members
include R. E. Branson, agricul
tural economics; O. R. Kunze,
agricultural engineering; Z. L.
Carpenter, Bryant F. Cobb III,
C. W. Dill, R. L. Hostetler, G. T.
King, W. A. Landmann, H. E.
Randolph and Carl Vanderzant,
animal science.
Also, Karl F. Mattil, chemical
engineering and soil and crop
sciences; C. M. Cater, chemical
engineering and biochemistry-
biophysics; W. W. Meinke, chem-
urgic research; W. B. Davis, civil
engineering; Alice C. Stubbs,
home economics; F. A. Gardner,
poultry science; E. E. Burns and
Lloyd W. Rooney, soil and crop
sciences, and L. H. Russell, veter
inary public health.
Texas food manufacturing is a
billion dollar business, Kunkel
pointed out. It employs 12 per
cent of the labor force in manu
facturing. The industry’s 16,000
state firms account for 23 per
cent of the total retail sales.
A&M currently offers a food
technology curriculum leading to
the bachelor, master’s and Ph.D.
degrees. Closely related are dairy
science with a dairy manufactur
ing option, animal science and
commercial option and horticul
ture through soil and crop sci
ences.
A&M offers 256 credit hours
of coursework directly or indi
rectly related to the field, of
which 91 are for graduate credit.

Moon Landing Could Affect
A&M Worker’s Foreign Job
Effects of the U. S. moon
landing could help a Texas A&M
agricultural official work him
self out of a job in Tunisia.
Dr. Homer V. Judge, chief of
party for A&M’s educational
assistance program conducted in
the African country through an
Agency for International Devel
opment contract, said the space
feat will undoubtedly enhance
American prestige abroad.
He speculated American advi
sors around the world will find
it “a little easier” to conduct
their advisory programs in light
of this latest U. S. science and
engineering achievement.
Dr. Judge, who returned to the
A&M campus this week for con
sultation with university offi
cials, noted the end is already in

sight for this particular program,
which involves providing assist
ance in developing an agricul
tural college near the city of
Sousse.
The Chott Maria Agricultural
School project, initiated in 1962,
is now in the final phase of con
structing facilities. Earlier, A&M
agricultural professors taught
Tunisian students in temporary
quarters. All the courses are
now being taught by Tunisians
who are Texas A&M graduates.
Three of the Tunisian profes
sors, Judge said, will return to
Texas A&M this fall to study
for master’s degrees. A&M is
currently training 15 Tunisians
on campus, with 10 of them due
back in their native country by
fall.
Judge indicated the lunar land
ing would probably have greater
effect on assistance programs in
other countries than in Tunisia,
where U. S. prestige is already
high. He considers Tunisia the
most pro-U. S. of all the Arab
countries.
Any boost, however, would be
welcome. The advisor pointed
out Tunisia — like many other
countries — accepts technical
assistance from several different
countries.
“Czechoslovakia and, of course,
France are providing technical
aid,” Judge remarked, adding
that four Canadian professors
taught at the Sousse school last
year. The country is a former
French colony.
A&M’s present AID contract
in Tunisia expires next year.
Prior to becoming head of the
Tunisian project in 1965, Judge
was associated with a similar
A&M program in East Pakistan.
While on campus, he will con
fer with Agricultural Dean H.
O. Kunkel, Graduate Dean George
W. Kunze, officials of A&M’s
International Programs Office
and several department heads.
He also will meet with Tunisian
students currently studying here.
