Page 6 College iStation, Texas Wednesday, July 22, 1970 THE BATTALION Enrollment shows Program receives AID funding record increase A major interdisciplinary re search program involving recov ery of protein for food from co conuts has received two-year funding of $338,186 from the Agency for International Devel opment. Dr. Karl F. Mattil, director of food products research for the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and project coordinator, said the grant was made to the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and the College of Agri culture through the Texas A&M Research Foundation. Mattil program indicated the broad would include simul taneous research of engineers, biochemists, and physical chem ists, with most of the work being conducted at the Oilseed Prod ucts Research Center on campus. The ultimate objective is to create new foods and new indus try for the coconut - producing countries of the world, which have low per capita income and marginal to deficient protein in take in the diet, Mattil said. He pointed out that present practices of the coconut industry in these countries do not realize the full potential and economic benefit, with as much as one- half of the nutrients being dis carded in the waste from grind ing, squeezing, and drying proc- Three recovery processes will be further developed and evalu ated as to their technological and economic feasibility in the research. Protein products from coconuts will be tested as com ponents in beverages, infant foods, simulated meats, pastas, and baked products and as stabi lizers for emulsion type meats such as frankfurters, bolognas, and canned meats. Second - semester summer en rollment totals a record 5,482 students, announced Registrar Robert A. Lacey. Lacey said current registration represents a nine-percent in crease over the same period last year. Main campus enrollment is 5,142. An additional 182 stu dents are participating in the Texas Maritime Academy’s Euro pean cruise and 57 yere study ing at the Marine Laboratory in Galveston. Entomologist specializing in control of peanut insects The Texas A&M Adjunct at Junction has enrollment of 101. The Entomology Department has a new scientist whose spe cialty is the study and control of peanut insects. He is Dr. J. W. Smith, Jr., a native Mississippian and the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith of Port Gibson. Announcement of Smith’s ap pointment was made by Dr. H. 0. Kunkel, dean of the A&M Col lege of Agriculture. Kunkel said Smith will teach entomology, but most of his time will be spent studying peanut in sects, particularly the less cornstalk borer and the burrm ing bug. Information is inai quate on the population levels the stalk borer and burrowis bug. The entomologist will inver, gate life histories and migtafc habits of the two insects and r try various pesticides and J logical control methods, the da said. Smith will spend much time the state’s peanut regions, m as South Texas. NECTARINE* 43 99 4 RED ONION* '2^> 354 BRBYOKRR ^ ^ 294 PRICED GOOD THURfC’flV' - PRlPflY AN 17 *fl1URPflV TOMATO $flUCE 29?
