Biology courses
described in journal
A Texas A&M biology course
slanted toward social problems is
described in BioScience, official
journal of the American Institute
of Biological Sciences.
The article was written by Dr.
Johannes van Overbeek, head of
the university’s Biology Depart
ment, and Sherran Franze of
Bryan, a junior majoring in edu
cation.
Dr. van Overbeek said Wednes
day the popular course will be
offered again this year.
Initiated on an experimental
basis last fall, the course follows
the “directed self-education proc
ess.” Grades are based on ques
tions asked at the beginning of
each class and three home as
signments.
The two-credit-hour course last
year was divided into five blocks
of six lectures each: What is
Life?; What is Man?; World
Hunger; Behavior; and Environ
ment.

School rating device
written by Hensarling
An instrument for evaluating
school district guidance programs
is presented by Dr. Paul R. Hen
sarling of Texas A&M in the Sep
tember, 1970, “American School
Board Journal.”
Journal editor James Betchkal
said the evaluative instrument is
a “decided contribution to the
literature.”
Hensarling’s article, “How to
Tell if Your District’s Guidance
Program Is Making Sense,”
serves as a means of getting
board members and administra
tors to learn more about the
guidance program.
The four-division instrument
covers organization and adminis
tration, guidance services includ
ing individual inventory, counsel
ing, informational, placement and
followup services, physical facil
ities, and special characteristics
of guidance services.
The test is of a self-adminis
tration type. It was validated by
a national jury of guidance ex
perts.

A&M grad
awarded
4 medals
A 26-year old Army captain
received four medals, including
the nation’s third highest award
for gallantry in combat in Viet
nam in a ceremony at Brooke
General Hospital Thursday.
Capt. Samuel C. McKenty re
ceived the Silver Star Medal, the
Bronze Star Medal (first oak leaf
cluster), the Air Medal (second
award) with “V” device for va
lor, and the Purple Heart Medal
from Brig. Gen. William H. Mon-
crief Jr., the hospital commander.
Capt. McKenty was assigned
to an advisory team in Vietnam
at the time of the action for
which he was awarded the Silver
Star. In the same action he was
severely wounded in the explo
sion of an enemy mine, which re
sulted in multiple fragment
wounds of the abdomen and the
loss of his left arm.
A truck carrying troops from
McKenty’s battalion came in
contact with an enemy force us
ing mines and small arms fire,
mortally wounding six soldiers
and wounding 12 others. Rush
ing to the aid of the wounded
personnel, McKenty came under
heavy enemy small arms fire.
Completely disregarding his own
safety, McKenty remained at the
area of the action under direct
enemy observation and fire to
direct the aerial evacuation of
the wounded and suppressive fire
into areas of enemy activity.
He was awarded the Bronze
Star Medal for meritorious serv
ice as senior advisor of the Viet
namese unit from January to
May 1970, when he was wounded.
The Air Medal (second award)
with “V” Device was awarded to
McKenty for heroic action of last
May 1 when he directed aerial
assistance to a long range recon
naissance force from his bat
talion which was surrounded by
a Viet Cong company. Coming in
under heavy enemy mortar and
small arms fire, he remained at
the landing zone and coordinated
the landing and consolidation of
his forces, with complete disre
gard for his own safety.
The Purple Heart Medal was
awarded McKenty for wounds
received in the same action for
which he received the Silver Star.

Problem with corn
cuts national crop
NEW YORK (A*)—Commodities
experts predicted Wednesday that
corn blight would reduce the
nation’s crop by about 8 per cent
this year, but consumers won’t
feel the price pinch right away.
“Private predictions in Wash
ington are looking to a govern
ment estimate somewhere be
tween 6 and 9 per cent below the
Aug. 1 crop estimate,” said Rob
ert C. Liebenow, president of the
Corn Refiners Association.
The Aug. 1 figure—issued be
fore news of the corn blight—
estimated annual production at
4.96 billion bushels. The next es
timate is due Sept. 11 and is
expected to figure heavily at the
International Commodities Con
ference to be held here later this
month.
Liebenow said a 6 to 9 per cent
drop “would put supplies any
where from 400 million to 550
million bushels below estimated
requirements and could cause a
significant depletion of the pres
ent corn reserve stockpile of just
under one billion bushels.”
Harold J. Huenold, president
of Heinhold Commodities, Inc., a
hog marketing firm, said his
company expected the September
government estimate would be
8.2 per cent below the August
prediction.
The spread of the disease has
raised fears of a possible short
age of feed grain, which could
ultimately mean higher prices for
items like eggs, poultry and meat.
Liebenow said, “The potential
imbalance in supply-demand pros
pects has already been reflected
in upward movements in the
BR0
w/s.
wholesale prices of corn start!
and corn syrup following the rist
in the basic commodity marfeti
for corn, wheat, eggs, pork be),
lies and other commodities,,,
Heinold predicted hog
would not rise until next summer
He said prices would be bell
down during the next five
six months.
Heinold added that packing
houses probably will store more
meat through the winter, wbkl
will help the supply situation over
the next five or six months ari OTJEjS
thereby hold prices down. *
