Traveling engineer
heads new course
A former technical sales engi

trouble-shooting cable antenna
television (CATV) systems heads
the new CATV technicians course.
Thomas F. (Tom) Straw, 32,
joined the Texas Engineering. Ex

Dr. Paul R. Hensarling has
been selected a faculty member
of the 17th National School Public
Relations Seminar in Los Angeles.
The seminar meets this week
at Los Angeles Hilton.
An educational administration
professor and chairman of gradu
ate studies in public relations,
Hensarling is among 125 faculty
members selected from through
out the U. S.
He will chair one of eight dis
cussion groups on the question of
whether the public relations part

and school districts is doomed.
In addition to publications and
community-school-staff communi

engineer for Ameco the past five
years.
The Eaton, Ohio, native has a
varied background in electronics,
installation, customer relations,
sales and CATV engineering.
Straw graduated from Jackson
Township High School, Ohio, and
completed electronics courses at
the Cleveland Radio Institute and
Radio-Electronics Television Scho
Radio-Electronics Television
School, Dayton, Ohio.
He was an electronics techni

classes in mid-September. The
school is funded by the Texas

basic CATV courses during the
first year.
“From the experience I’ve had,”
Straw relates, “the qualified peo
ple are few and far between” in
CATV companies. “Most employes
are operating above their heads,”
he said.
Straw noted the courses will
give the CATV employe the “nuts
and bolts” of operating a system.
The emphasis will be on doing
the job, not just reading about
how to do it, he added.
Straw and his wife, Rose, have
four children ranging in age from
6-12 years. They live at 1112

Dr. Hopkin to receive
Stiles Professorship
The Board of Directors ap
proved appointment of Dr. John
A. Hopkin of the University of
Illinois as Stiles Professor of
Agriculture last week.
The chair was established by
the Stiles Farm Foundation
Board from income derived from
the Stiles Farm near Thrall in
Williamson County.
A non-profit, self-supporting
institution, the foundation was
bequested by the late J. V. and
H. A. Stiles for the advancement
of agriculture in Texas. The
Board of Directors accepted the
trusteeship of the foundation as
requested in the Stiles brothers’
will in 1961.
Dr. H. O. Kunkel, dean of the
College of Agriculture, said Hop-
kin’s appointment is effective
Aug. 16.
Hopkin is now professor of ag
ricultural finance at the Univer
sity of Illinois and director of
the Agricultural Finance Pro
gram in the College of Agricul
ture.
Kunkel said the professor’s
main responsibility as Stiles
Professor will be to organize a
group of specialists into a
strong, integrated team to build
agricultural finance programs in
resident and Extension teaching
and in research.
The dean described Hopkin as
“a highly talented and accom
plished individual in agricultural
finance.”
Hopkin spent 12 years with
the Bank of America in San
Francisco. His positions there
were agricultural economist,
chief of the Agricultural and
Commodity Research Section,
and vice, president of agribusi
ness.
As agribusiness vice president,
his responsibilities involved more
than $1 billion in loans each
year.
Hopkin holds BS and MS de
grees from the University of
Wyoming and a doctorate in ag
ricultural economics and statis
tics from Iowa State University.
He was instructor and assistant
professor for seven years in the
University of Wyoming Agricul
tural Economics Department.

There is a $2 a day boarding
fee at the Large Animal Clinic
which covers expenses for a nor
mal-size horse. Figuring a horse
eats one quart of feed per 100
pounds body weight, Pecos and
Texas each eat as much as two
normal horses.
Owned by Owens Country Sau
sage of Richardson, the eight and
nine year old horses are used by
the company in promotional work.
Dr. Romane said they are being
treated for Habronemiasis, com
monly called “summer sore.” It is
a common skin problem where a
raw area is difficult to heal due
to larvae migration.
The veterinary medicine and
surgery professor expects the
horses to be at the Large Animal
Clinic for two or three weeks.
Belgians are very gentle, Dr.
Romane pointed out, and were
bred to draw heavy loads.
Although quite popular and
numerous in Europe, many were
killed during World Wars I and
II for food. Today they are rare
in Europe and the United States.
Most of the U. S.-owned Bel
gians are found in the Midwest,
Dr. Romane reports.
American soldiers will remem
ber Belgians as the horses found
working on harbor docks in
France and Belgium during World
War II, he added.
