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.

Department to add
3 faculty, courses
Appointments of three faculty
members and the addition of
three undergraduate fall semester
courses have been announced by
Dr. Paul P. 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.

The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You..
This is Mary Sue. 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.
