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

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.

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.

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.
