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.
