Coastal engineers discover course has unusual element Participants in the two-week Coastal and Ocean Engineering Short Course at Texas A&M Uni versity have found their field also includes the fair sex. Janis M. Hote, a 1969 engineer ing graduate of Louisiana State University at New Orleans, is among the 41 engineers from throughout the world on the A&M campus for the highly-technical course. Miss Hote is a hydraulic engi neer employed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Or leans. Dr. John Herbich, short course director, noted it is unusual to have a young woman employed fjniitn mt*/ r Cfj. 'J'tantonef tfUlofat* wc have a layaway plan that will enable you to get a < <£'4m« tamond at the retail jeweler's wholesale cost! r in coastal engineering. “I enjoy my work and have found this course very interest ing,” Miss Hote said. The at tractive blonde said she worked for the Corps of Engineers prior to graduating from college with a B.S. degree in engineering- science. Herbich said the course en rollment includes representatives from seven foreign countries — Belgium, France, The Nether lands, Japan, Nicaragua, Mexico and Canada. Nine states and the District of Columbia also are represented. The course continues through Friday and is sponsored by the Coastal and Ocean Engineering- Division of The Civil Engineering Department and the Sea Grant Program of the National Ocean- ographic and Atmospheric Admin istration. Saturday the participants will travel to the Houston-Galveston area for an inspection trip aboard the RV Plxcellence. A&M’s water quality research vessel will take the group to the Houston Ship Channel, Galveston Bay and A&M’s marine science facilities in Galveston. iSunday the university’s aircraft will be used for an overflight of the Texas Gulf Coast from Sabine Pass to Corpus Christi-Padre Island. The aerial inspection will in clude observations of stable and unstable passes, beach formations and estuaries. Classes last week had guest in structors speaking on hydrody namics, wave theories, tidal phe nomena, coastal sediment process es, offshore structure design and current and wave forces. This week’s sessions center around offshore construction and oil spill containment and removal. Herbich said A&M’s Hydrome chanics Laboratory is being used to demonstrate wave theories and lectures are held in the Civil Engineering Building. Most of the students represent governmental agencies or off shore industries, he added. Janis Hote of New Orleans and Andre Sagot of Petraki Pan, France, look over notes at a coastal and ocean en gineering short course session. Miss Hote is the only woman in the 41-member international class. — BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES Oi.e day o<t per word 4c per word each additional day Minimum charge—75c Classified Display SI.00 per column inch each insertion FOR SALE 11)50 c;MC schoolbus, 20 passenger.

Texas — College Station THE BATTALION Wednesday, August 11, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 3 More than acting required of Players Premiere Players summer the ater productions have surmounted several obstacles to reach the public. The group was homeless for a period. Casting the teenage theater company’s first play re quired some players to double up on parts. Like “A Canticle for Leibowitz,” the Aug. 19-21 of “Flowers for Algernon” has required Director Robert Wenck, technical assistant James Dennis and Premiere Play ers to become stage builders. When Guion Hall was razed last January for the new auditor ium and conference complex, the Theater Arts Section, its produc tion branch The Aggie Players and community service programs, children’s creative dramatics and Premiere Players, were displaced. The Aggie Players and creative dramatics soon located facilities. But the Premiere Players had more trouble finding production space. A&M Consolidated School Supt. Taylor Riedel and Mrs. Margaret Leighton, College Hills Elemen tary principal, came to the rescue. They opened the College Hills school cafeteria to the Players. “Then the work began,” Wenck said. The cafeteria was large enough but less than ideal for theater production. A raised platform at one end was too small. Backstage areas for dressing rooms and prop storage were absent. Overhead supports for lighting equipment were lacking. The cafeteria floor was flat, reducting audience view of the stage. There was no curtain, nor ticket lobby. “Our people rarely let such minor details stand in the way of a production,” commented C. K. Esten, theater arts chairman whose properties personnel once used trash can lids to make shields for Roman soldiers. Wenck, Dennis and the Pre miere Players surrounded the ex isting cafeteria platform with other platforms and ramps, en larging the basic stage with sev eral stage levels and acting areas. Flats from the stage sides formed a backstage area. Lights were put on pipes hung from the ceiling. Vertical pipes were used to light part of the stage from the audience. The ater arts section risers remodelled the level cafeteria floor, with au dience chairs placed on sucessive- ly higher levels. They did without a curtain and set up their own ticket booth near the door. “A Canticle for Leibowitz” opened on time in the makeshift theater. Wenck and his players are hopeful that converting a school cafeteria into workable theater a second time for “Flowers for Algernon” will be easier. Revised retirement policy will benefit system employees A recent revision of the Texas A&M University System retire ment policy will result in sub stantial increases in future retire ment benefits for many system employees. Personnel Director H. Ray Smith said the policy change, approved by the Board of Direc tors, will permit employees to work until the end of the fiscal year in which they reach 65 years of age. Under previous retirement pol icies an employee was retired on Vet College VEE treatment efforts praised Texas A&M University’s Col lege of Veterinary Medicine has been praised by Dr. George Beto, director of the Texas Department of Corrections, for professors’ efforts to vaccinate TDC horses against Venezuela Equine Encep halomyelitis (VEE). Writing on the front page of the TDC employee newsletter, Dr. Beto said the vaccination program is “without question the most im pressive single act of cooperation with A&M.” “The veterinary medicine pro fessors from A&M “fanned out’ over the 14 units of the depart ment and vaccinated 722 horses in a single day,” Dr. Beto continued. “We cannot be too extravagant in our expression of gratitude to A&M University for the help af forded in this instance,” he added. FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED the last day of the month in which he reached his 65th birth day. The change will enable system employees to take full advantage of a revised formula for calculat ing benefits under the Teacher Retirement System of Texas ap proved by the 62nd Legislature. Increased retirement benefits are possible, Smith explained, since in most cases an employee will acquire another full year of retirement eredit. At the same time many em ployees also will eliminate one year of the $8,400 salarly ceiling allowed prior to Sept. 1, 1969, replacing it with a full year of salary up to the new $25,000 ceil ing, Smith added. The new policy, effective Sept. 1, authorizes the system president to grant the employment exten sions. Continuation of employ ment beyond the end of the fiscal year in which an employee reach es 65, will continue to require board approval.
