AstroTurf soft—but the elbows to the jaw are a bit hard to take. Chemical engineering presented NSF grant Dr. C. D. Holland, head of the Chemical Engineering Depart ment, has been awarded a $64,000 National Science Foundation grant to continue research into developing mathematical models for industrial plant processes. The two-year study is entitled "Dynamic Behavior of Distillation Systems.” Industrial facilities at Baytown, Texas City, Corpus Christi and Dallas will be utilized. Assisting Dr. Holland are Dr. Tkuho Yamada, post-doctorate student and professor of chemical engineering at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, and Ph.D. candidates Gregorio P. Pendon of the Philippines and Adrian E. Hutton of Baytown. Other gradu ate students are expected to par ticipate later. Research began four years ago under NSF funding, Dr. Holland noted. “Far too frequently, engineers have not learned anything from their designs other than whether or not it worked,” Dr. Holland explained. “That is, once the plant is constructed there is little or no attempt to study the oper ating units for the purpose of improving the design methods or mathematical models used in the original plant design.” Dr. Holland claims the research is “an innovation in educational research.” It has already led to better understanding between education al institutions, industrial organi zations and federal supporting agencies. Dr. Holland said graduate stu dents go to operating plant sites to collect data on distillation columns, absorption and desorp tion processes and liquid-liquid extraction processes. On the basis of the data, the students develop mathematical models of the processes as well as scaleup procedures. Suitable numerical methods are developed for solving problems involving these processes by use of A&M’s high speed IBM 306/65 computer. Five papers have been pub lished and four more have been accepted for publication from in formation collected the past four years, Dr. Holland reports. Projects completed include the Zoller Gas Plant at Refugio and the U. S. Department of Interior’s Saline Water Demonstration Unit at Freeport. Current projects are adsorption and desorption processes investi gated by Pendon and liquid-liquid extraction processes studied by Hutton. Pendon’s project is a coopera tive effort between A&M’s Chem ical Engineering Department and Mobil’s Corpus Christi Production Division and Dallas Production Research Laboratories. Hutton will study a liquid- liquid extraction process through the use of a column in the sulfur dioxide extraction plant at Hum ble Oil .and Refining Company’s Baytown plant. The column constitutes an ap plication of the Edelenau process developed in the early 1900’s to improve burning properties of kerosene by removal of the aro matics. Two other projects will have graduates students assigned later. At Monsanto’s Texas City plant, the proposed research is to develop procedures for scaling up distillation columns from bench-scale laboratory columns to pilot-plant columns and then to plant-size columns. The Baytown Humble Oil plant will be used for a scaleup of centrifugal extractors in opera tion at the Phenol Extraction Plant. YOU MAY THINK ALL BANKS ARE THE SAME. YOU'RE ALMOST CORRECT. All banks are regulated by law as to interest they can pay, insurance to protect deposits, that sort of thing. There s not much difference in services banks can offer. All banks are friendly to their customers. So what’s different about the Bank of A&M? Their point of view, for one thing. The Bank of A&M’s stockholders and directors have strong ties with Texas A&M. The senior staff members of the Bank of A&M are graduates of Texas A&M. Most of the bank’s customers are faculty staff, students and former students of Texas A&M. A&M people get preferential treatment at the Bank of A&M. Maybe it’s a minor difference. But most of our custom ers don’t think so. When you become a Bank of A&M cus tomer, you won’t, either.

Van Riper, head of the Political Science Department. Joining the faculty as assistant professors are Dr. James F. Crea- gan, Dr. Elias S. Thermos and Samuel M. Babcock. The appoint ments are effective Sept. 1. New courses include P.S. 350, Political Thought, a general sur vey of materials from ancient to modern times; P.S. 351, Contem porary Political Theory, covering the main streams of modern thought, and P.S. 425, American Political Thought, a general sur vey from colonial to present times. “The new appointments ha.ve permitted us to expand our offer ings, especially for undergradu ates,” Dr. Van Riper said. Dr. Creagan, 29, has been a Foreign Service officer since 1966. He currently is Second Sec retary at the U. S. Embassy in El Salvador. Besides serving in embassies in Mexico and El Salvador, Dr. Creagan has been a special lec turer at the University of the Americas and Universidad de El Salvador. He has a B.A. degree in history from Notre Dame and in 1965 received the Ph.D. in government and foreign affairs from the Uni versity of Virginia. After a year as assistant pro fessor at St. Mary’s in San An tonio Dr. Creagan joined the Foreign Service. Dr. Creagan will teach Ameri can government and American foreign policy this fall. Dr. Thermos, a native of Greece, received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Eastern Illinois University in 1963. He earned the M.A. in history at Southern Illinois University in 1965 and the Ph.D. in government in 1967. He has taught at Roosevelt College, Northwestern and cur rently North Carolina State. Dr. Thermos has a background in political theory, international relations and organization and political development. He also is able to translate Old Greek. Babcock has a B.A. in govern ment from Miami University of Ohio and the M.A. in Asian studies from the University of California, Berkeley.

She has nice clothes and good food. I know, because sometimes I help feed and dress her. What she doesn’t have is a mother and a father. Oh, she has parents, but they’re judged unfit to care for her. Things must have been pretty bad for her at home. It took a long time to win her trust. The day she smiled was a major triumph for us all. I’m a teen-age volunteer at a foundling home operated by our church. For most of the youngsters, this is the first experience with love and kindness, good food and clean clothes. Now I realize how important is our church’s mis sion work. Tour church interprets God’s love in its ministry to the sick and starving, the aged and the dispossessed. Support your church. Find joy in serving others.
