Civilian counselor hall assignments set
Residence hall assignment of
six civilian student counselors for
the 1971-72 school year have been
announced by Dean of Students
James P. Hannigan.
Counseling services for 20 halls,
university - operated apartments
and day students are provided by
Don E. Williams, Richard L. Den
ham, Kirby D. Blevins, Robert L.
Chapman, Jack D. Thomas and
Malon Southerland.
Blevins, 26, of Eunice, N. M.,
has Schumacher, Walton, Hotard
and Milner Halls. Denham, 35,
was assigned Crocker, Davis-
Gary, Moore and Mclnnis.
A former school superinten
dent, Chapman, 55, serves Moses
Hall, university apartments and
day students. Thomas, 36, has
Henderson, Keithley, Hughes,
Fowler and Legett Halls.
Law, Puryear, Hart and Mitch
ell halls are the responsibility of
Williams, 26. Southerland has
B. E. White, Utay and half of
Harrell Hall, in addition to some
Corps of Cadets units. Williams
will have Mitchell Hall for the
fall semester only. It is ex
pected to be razed next spring
to make way for a new University
Hospital.
“Our main purpose is to serve
the student,” Chapman explained.
“It may take the form of person
al problem assistance or discus
sing financial matters. In some
instances, a student just may need
someone to talk to.”
Civilian counselors also assist
the Housing Office.
The counselors, whose offices
are located in lounges near the
halls they serve, have a combined
63 years teaching and counseling
experience. They are members of
professional organizations such
as the American College Person
nel Association and the American
Personnel and Guidance Associa
tion, among others.
Three have the master’s degree
and the others are in graduate
programs.
Blevins completed psychology
and sociology studies at West
Texas State in 1968. He came to
A&M the following fall as assist
ant housing manager. Assigned
as a counselor in 1969, he is doing
graduate work in educational psy
chology. Blevins attended Eunice,
N. M., schools.
Formerly of Hemphill and
Nacogdoches, Chapman received
degrees at Stephen F. Austin
State in 1937 and 1955. He holds
state teaching certificates, princi
pal, superintendent and profes
sional administrator. He was
Ag-exes save boater’s life
Two 1967 graduates of Texas
A&M University, both currently
Air Force officers stationed at
Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.,
are credited with saving the life
of a man involved in a boating
accident.
Quick thinking by Capt. John
H. Bonner of San Angelo and 1st
Lt. Sammy W. Pearson of Calvert
led to the dramatic rescue on the
Coosa River in Alabama.
The two long-time friends wit
nessed two men thrown from an
other boat and saw the boat hit
one of the victims. Pearson drove
his boat to give aid when the
pair noticed the runaway hoat
was making a tight circle and was
about to hit the second man.
Pearson headed his boat be
tween the runaway boat and the
victim in the water. Bonner was
pulling the second man into Pear
son’s boat when the runaway boat
hit at an angle which permitted
Pearson to jump aboard and stop
the engine.
The first victim hit by the
boat died and his body was re
covered two days later. Bonner
and Pearson, however, organized
other boaters in a search of the
area for the first man.
Both Aggies were members of
Squadron lo at Texas A&M, with
Bonner serving as executive of
ficer and Pearson a flight leader.
Bonner is a Squadron Officer
School student at Maxwell and
has permanent assignment at
Mather Air Force Base, Calif.,
with the 3541st Navigator Train
ing Squadron.
Pearson is simulation analyst
at the Air Force Data Systems
Center at Gunter Air Force Base.
Bonner’s wife, Pamela, is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Lindsey of College Station. Lind
sey is director of information and
publications at Texas A&M.
A&M admitted to AAUW
Texas A&M has been awarded
corporate membership in the
American Association of Univer
sity Women, a national organiza
tion serving alumnae of more
than 1,100 institutions of higher
learning.
Mrs. John C. Calhoun, presi
dent of the Bryan-College Sta
tion Branch of AAUW and wife
of Texas A&M’s vice president
for programs, said corporate
membership provides a basis for
college and university participa
tion in the formulation and adop
tion of AAUW policies in the
field of higher education.
AAUW works with the 750 col
leges and universities holding
corporate membership in the as
sociation to improve educational
opportunities and programs,
with particular attention to the
needs of women.
The association’s objectives in
clude supporting a $6 million
fellowships endowment fund, in
fluencing higher education legis
lation, promoting standards for
women and serving college alum
nae.
Mrs. Calhoun said two interna
tional fellows have studied at
Texas A&M within the past five
years under grants from the
AAUW. They are Dr. Annette
Chitzanidis of Greece and Joce
lyn Tommerup of Australia.
Mist irrigation helps yields
Application of a mist spray can
relieve water deficits in plants
and boost yields up to 60 per cent,
members of the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers learned
during their recent annual meet
ing at Washington State Univer
sity.
The technique was described in
a paper written by T. A. Howell,
research associate; E. A. Hiler,
associate professor of agricultural
engineering; and C. H. M. Van
Bavel, soil and crop sciences pro
fessor, all of Texas A&M.
Their experiment involved mist
irrigation of southern peas grown
in soil on which the surface was
protected from moisture and only
the plant received the spray. The
engineers said they have “direct
evidence that the plant water
balance was effectively controlled
by mist irrigation, and mist irri
gation relieved internal water
deficits, resulting in a large yield
response of up to 60 per cent
under conditions similar to those
in normal fields.”
The key to the benefits is the
increase in water content of plant
leaves, which lose water to the
roots by transpiration, even when
soil moisture is adequate.
“Although both leaf tempera
ture and leaf water potential were
affected simultaneously, we be
lieve that the effects noted should
be primarily attribued to reduce
tion of the leaf water deficit, as
the temperature effect was not
large and the leaf temperatures
were at all times close to values
normally considered optimal for
plant functions,” the A&M re
searchers said.
The experiment was conducted
in four sheltered plots, each
covered on the surface with a
plastic barrier that prevented
evaporation losses.
“Since soil water evaporation
would then be negligible, water
depletion in the crop root zone
could be attributed to transpira
tion, which was measured sepa
rately only after subtracting any
downward percolation,” they ex
plained.
In Treatment 1, plants were
mist-irrigated daily between 11
a. m. and 5 p. m. CDT. They were
mist-irrigated in Treatment 2
from the time when average leaf
temperature increased 2 degrees
centigrade over Treatment 1
plants until 5 p. m.
In Treatment 3, mist irrigation
began when 4-degree leaf tem
perature difference occurred and
was continued until 5 p. m. Plants
received no mist in Treatment 4,
the control plot, but were surface
irrigated.
Treatment 2 produced the high
est yield of dry peas—a 60 per
cent jump in yield of freshly har
vested pods as compared with the
control plot. Treatment 1 pro
duced a 10 per cent yield increase,
while Treatment 2 had a 20 per
cent rise.
Howell, Hiler and Van Bavel
said in the paper that no pre
viously known work on mist irri
gation had documented the re
action of internal water deficit in
plants to this technique.
“Agriculture may be unable to
enjoy the luxury of an abundant
supply of irrigation water in the
future,” they said. “Therefore,
more efficient irrigation methods
must be developed by agricultural
engineers.”

Baylor Med lowers tuition
to $100 for state residents
HOUSTON — Baylor College
of Medicine, the state’s only pri
vate medical school, will reduce
tuition charged medical students
who are Texas residents from
$700 to $100 per quarter, L. F.
McCollum, board chairman an
nounced.
The rate reduction will become
effective upon execution of a con
tract between the college and
The Coordinating Board, Texas
College and University System,
after the beginning of the state’s
fiscal year this September, prob
ably in the second quarter of
Baylor’s 1971-72 academic year.
It will not be retroactive.
The new tuition charge, ap
proved at the board’s annual
meeting, is the same amount cur
rently charged Texas residents
by the state medical schools.
The tuition reduction for the
1971-72 academic year is made
possible by a $2.5 million appro
priation from the 62nd session of
the Texas Legislature.
