The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to consolidate its curatorial and re search project in a new, vault- like, specially air-conditioned home—a mini-Ft. Knox for the Apollo program's moonrock col lection at the Space Center in Houston, Tex. NASA officials say the object is to retain the rocks as close as possible to original conditions, thus keeping the scientific value of this multibillion-dollar invest ment from being lost to future researchers. “We’ll have what we hope will Faculty women schedule luncheon A buffet luncheon for women members of the A&M faculty was held noon today at the Ramada Inn.

High school seniors named ’71 President’s Scholars Twenty Texas high school sen iors who have done near perfect academic work have been named President’s Scholars at A&M. The students receive the most prestigious scholarships offered by A&M and carry the Presi dent’s Scholar designation ac corded by the university through their final high school year. President Jack K. Williams said 1971 recipients of the elite award are Mark J. Arnold and Robert M. Horton of Corpus Christi; Ergle James Culp, West; Douglas B. Duncan, LaMarque; Bennett W. Fletcher, Big Spring; Judith Ann Gundersheimer and Robert J. Murphy, San Antonio; Law rence N. Hall, David B. Mather and Michael A. Riewe, Dallas. Also, David B. Hildebrand, Fort Worth; Tommy L. Hoes, San Angelo; Stanton L. Jones, Austin; Dan C. Lawson, Long view; John R. Miller, Beaumont; Bill R. Page, Burkburnett; David S. Rowe, Alvin; Steven H. Schroeder, Boys Ranch; James B. Sharbrough, Alief, and Frederick E. Wilson, Houston. They were selected from 600 students nominated by the state’s high school principals and will join a list of 75 President’s Schol ars at A&M next fall. The first graduating President’s Scholars received their degrees at mid year of 1970-71. Enrollment at A&M activates a $1,000 a year scholarship for up to five years of study. The 1971 recipients rank, by their scores on standard achieve ment and National Merit Schol arship qualifying tests, in the top per cent of Texas’ 1971-72 grad uating classes. The President’s Scholar Awards program was inaugurated by the late President Earl Rudder in 1967. It is designed to recognize outstanding students and retain the state’s most promising young scholars in Texas for their ad vanced education. “These students are not only outstanding scholars but are also developing into well-round ed adults through leadership strengthening extracurricular ac tivities,” noted Robert M. Logan, A&M student aid director who conducts the program. To be considered for selection by the A&M Faculty Scholarships Committee, students must rank high in scholastic achievement and show, through church, school and community activities, evi dence of non-academic interests and abilities. Physical fitness program holds meeting today Williams to speak at luncheon held for Century Club More than 500 former students and friends of A&M are expected here Sept. 11 for the seventh an nual Century Club Luncheon. A&M President Jack K. Wil liams will be featured speaker. The luncheon begins at 12:15 p.m. in the west wing of Sbisa Dining Hall. The Century Club, established by the Association of Former Students in 1965, is composed of former students and friends of A&M who contribute $100 or more during a calendar year. Entertainment is provided by the Singing Cadets. It marks the first appearance this academic year for the group which sang at the White House and appeared on the nation-wide Ed Sullivan Show and Miss Teenage America television programs last year. Dr. Williams will reflect on his first year as head of the Texas A&M University System. It was at the Century Club Luncheon last year that Dr. Williams first brought greetings to former stu dents. “The Century Club has become the backbone of the Association of Former Students’ Annual Giv ing Program,” noted Executive Director Richard (Buck) Weirus. “This special luncheon is one way the association endeavors to communicate with Century Club members about Texas A&M to day,” he said. Tickets are available at the as sociation office in the Memorial Student Center. A preliminary meeting to dis cuss the noon hour physical con ditioning program at A&M was held today in the G.

It is planned for com pletion in time for Apollo 16’s return this winter. Dr. John Pomeroy, assistant director of the lunar sample pro gram, said in an interview: “Sci ence keeps developing new tools all the time for investigating the universe—people will be coming up with questions 10 or 20 years from now that we can’t even guess at now.” The amount of lunar material has been rising with each mis sion—Apollo 11 brought back 46.2 pounds, Apollo 12 had 74.8 pounds, Apollo 14 had 94 pounds and Apollo 15 an estimated 170 pounds. Pomeroy said about 26 per cent of the Apollo 11 material has gone out for scientific in vestigations, with 14 per cent of the Apollo 12 rocks and 8 per cent of the Apollo 14 material distributed. That leaves about 187 pounds for future experi ments. Pomeroy said: “We regard lunar samples as being a kind of Rosetta Stone for the solar system—we’re able to read what we think are 4.5-billion years of history of the solar system there.” The researchers investigate the rocks for clues to origin; tem perature and pressure conditions that went into their formation; erosion processes such as me- teroid impact and particle bom bardment; and look for tips on the early mineral-forming proc esses in the evolution of the ENGINEERING AND OFFICE SUPPLY C0RP. 10% Discount To Students • ENG. & ARCH.
