ffiTtfiiml ii in ifiinrTiTiiiiiiitr'^^^ ' 11 ■ m 'ih' V 'i, : CADET SLOUCH by Mm Earie 77 Air cadets register with financial aid grants A&M registered 77 Air Force ROTC cadets under new Finan cial Assistance Grants this fall, a 75 per cent increase over the 1970-71 figure. “The Air Force plays quite an active role in providing financial assistance to A&M AFROTC cadets, both in number of grants and monetary value,” noted Col. Robert F. Crossland. “There are still even more op portunities available to qualified applicants, to include a certain amount of graduate education,” the professor of aerospace studies said. Colonel Crossland indicated that 328 cadets under Air Force grants last fall included 44 new grant recipients as of September, 1970. He said this year’s 77 new FAG cadets include 20 freshmen, 35 sophomores and 28 juniors. The Air Force scholarships total about $1,000 a year for one to four years for in-state stu- A&M given grant for water planning “It’s been a great week without one, but maybe we should get a light blub for our room!” Aggie Band’s first practice promises good entertainment A&M’s football show stealer— the Texas Aggie Band—got in its first full-size outdoors practice Wednesday in preparation for the Sept. 11 Wichita State game. The sight and sound of the Aggie Band preparations will continue from the practice field north of the new rehearsal hall this week and next week, Mon. Sept. 6-10. Lt. Col. E. V. Adams, dean of Southwest Conference band direc tors in his 26th season at A&M, said the band will march 291 cadets in the Wichita State game halftime performance. The 12 by 24-man organization moved by drum majors Steven T. Sullivan of Waxahachie, John R. Dye of San Antonio and Richard A. Smith of Borger includes 128 freshmen. “The freshmen and drum ma jors got oriented on the field last Saturday,” Adams commented. “The new men got acquainted with our terminology, drum ma jors’ signals, length of step and basic movements on which a lot of our drills are based.” “They were out an hour and showed great promise,” added the veteran music maker who will field his 200th drill this fall. The fish marched the first time wtih the full band Monday, enroute to White Coliseum for All-University Night. A brief in door rehearsal prepared “The Spirit of Aggieland” and “Aggie War Hymn” for the yell practice meeting. Rain forced the brasses-pre- dominate organization into the 100-foot main rehearsal hall Tuesday afternoon, for “prepara tion of music we plan to use this fall,” Adams stated. The band also greets late-rising south Col lege Station residents with music from morning rehearsals. Formed into two company-size units for administrative pur poses, the combined band is com manded by Michael A. Langston of Granbury. Maroon and White Band commanders are Stephen F. Brock of Freeport and Clinton L. Hubbard III of Houston. Leading the 1971-72 Aggie Band onto Kyle Field astroturf for the A&M-Wichita State game will be a 12-senior bugle rank consisting of Langston, Hubbard, Brock, Joe D. Anderson of Hous ton; Craig H. Pearson, Belton; Paul A. Krueger, Giddings. Also, Travis E. Elmore, Aus tin; David R. Davis, Odessa; Larry George, Artesia, N. M.; Bonsall S. Wilton, Houston; Rob ert W. Gombeski, Wichita Falls, and John A. Oualline, Conroe. A&M has received a $27,000 federal grant to develop pro cedures to appraise urban water planning goals, reports Dr. Jack R. Runkles, director of the Texas Water Resources Institute. The two-year project is funded by the U. S. Department of In terior’s Office of Water Re sources Research. Purpose of the study is to solve two major weaknesses in water resources planning—having goals acceptable to the many agencies influencing metropolitan water decisions and direct public opinion. Dr. Runkles announced the San Antonio area has been selected as the study area. Principal in vestigator is Dr. W. L. Meier Jr., professor of industrial engineer ing at A&M. He is a veteran in operation research and systems analysis in water resources plan ning. Texas recently completed a 10-year inventory of water re sources, Dr. Runkles said, in cluding estimating future needs and planning to meet these needs. “The major metropolitan areas of the state, the river basin au thorities and the regional councils of governments also are develop ing plans for water resources in their areas of responsibility,” he pointed out. Bradshaw named housing specialist Miss Pat Bradshaw has been appointed as housing and home furnishings specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, announced Dr. John E. Hutchison, director. She is a native of Cheyenne, Okla., and received a B.S. in home economics and an M.S. in housing and interior design from Okla homa State University. Miss Bradshaw will be respon sible for assisting county home demonstration agents in the de velopment of educational pro grams in Extension districts 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9, which make up the High Plains, Central and Eastern areas of the state.

San Antonio was selected, he said, because the city satisfies several study requirements. “First, the San Antonio region has several water resource agen cies with overlapping planning authority. The water resources agencies in San Antonio have in progress a high quality planning activity and they have developed an exceptional water resource data base,” he observed. Dr. Runkles noted the Texas Water Resources Institute and all of the San Antonio water agencies have a very cooperative working relationship. “The San Antonio region has a historical interest by the gen eral public in multiple use of water resources,” he added. Dr. Meier said the pioneer study will involve working closely wtih the Alamo Area Council of Governments and the San An tonio River Authority. Urban water planners, he con tinued, face never-ending prob lems in allocating limited water and capital resources to satisfy the multiple needs for water in rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. “In order to improve the plan ning process, recent research has resulted in the development of systems analysis and optimization techniques which have greatly expanded the planner’s ability to consider alternate systems, and select the ones best meeting plan ning objectives,” he said. “However, the usefulness of these techniques is directly de pendent on having good planning objectives,” Dr. Meier observed. A part-time faculty member and one or more graduate stu dents will work on the project, he said.
