(AP Wire- photo) Gulf Oil Corp. presents eight fall scholarships Eight students will receive scholarships this fall from the Gulf Oil Corporation. A freshman, sophomore, junior and senior in the Petroleum En gineering and Chemical Engineer ing Departments will be selected by the Faculty Scholarship Com mittee to receive the Gulf Hon ors Scholarships, announced En gineering Dean Fred J. Benson. With four Gulf scholarships in force, four additional awards were announced here Friday by E. L. A research project of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station involving design and construction of a low temperature system aim ed at suppression of noise in ra dio frequency communication and information retrieval systems used in the space effort has re ceived second-year funding from NASA in the amount of $29,000, reveals Dr. C. R. Haden, associate professor of electrical engineer ing and principal investigator. The system, including a low temperature refrigerator, has been developed and assembled at the Manned Spacecraft, Haden said. The group will now partici pate in further tests and experi mentation with the equipment. A BROWN - ALLEN MOTOR CO.

When the program was set up last year, Gulf had planned to in troduce two honors scholarships a year to freshmen so that by 1972 and in subsequent years, eight students would benefit. “Since it now appears there is a very serious need for scholar ship support on campuses, Gulf decided to speed up the procedure by making all eight scholarships available immediately,” Butcher theoretical model is also being designed. “Basically, the device would im prove the noise characteristics of the communication link with the spacecraft,” he explained. “It in volves a conversion of an electro magnetic information signal to a light signal which is processed in a semi-conductor filled cavity.” The engineering design con tract is a continuing phase of the university’s development of a physical electronic laboratory in the Electrical Engineering De partment. Haden’s research in cryongen- ics—low temperature work—per mits the temperature to be low ered to 450-degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale. Haden is assisted by Dr. C. W. Alworth, assistant professor of electrical engineering. Doctoral candidate John Barrett will also participate in the research this year. Prior to joining the staff in September, 1968, Haden served three years with the University of Oklahoma where he conducted low temperature research in co operation with the Atomic Ener gy Commission and the National Science Foundation. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1965. Alworth has been with the uni versity since 1968. His Ph.D. was awarded by the University of Oklahoma in 1969. said. Grants will be to seniors for one year. Others may be renewed until the student completes the normal four years of undergrad uate study or receives the bach elor degree. Awards cover tuition, books and fees to a maximum of $1,500 a year. The Texas A&M students will be among 98 receiving Gulf grants in 26 departments of 23 colleges and universities in the U. S. Gulf has invested more than $3 million in higher education this year. Other facets of the program in clude capital grants, departmental assistance grants, unrestricted awards to colleges and universi ties and graduate student fellow ships. Gulf aid to Texas A&M over the last decade has amounted to about $127,000. Gulf Oil Foundation established a $125,000 mechanical engineering professorship last May in honor of Gulf’s late senior vice presi dent, Thomas A. Dietz, a 1931 graduate. Virgil S. Hanson, Gulf’s nation al director of employment and college relations of Houston, ac companied Butcher to the campus for the presentation. Army cadets complete camp in Oklahoma Army ROTC cadets fastened duffel bags Tuesday upon com pletion of summer camp at Fort Sill, Okla. The university has 314 cadets among more than 2,400 from the five-state Fourth U. S. Army area in the 1970 advanced summer camp at Camp Eagle on the Okla homa military reservation. They gained experience in leadership and military opera tions before being commissioned as Army officers. During the six- week training period, cadets were taught individual and unit tac tics, small-unit leadership and va rious other skills required of Army officers. “BIG ITALIAN NIGHT” M.S.C.
