Smithson’s lecture, “Architec- ;ure as Town Building—The Slow Growth of Another Sensibility,” will be open to the public without charge, noted Dr. W. L. Land- mann, University Lectures Com mittee chairman. TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED Smithson and his wife, both graduates of the University of Durham, have been in architec tural practice together in London since 1949. Their developing theories and formal vocabulary have played an important art in the shaping of urban development around the world, observed David G. Wood cock, associate professor in TAMU’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design. He attributed their prominence to the memorable character of the forms they have created and proposed and to their crusading zeal which has kept them in the professional press since their first impact with the Hunstanton Secondary Mod ern School in 1950. Coming into prominence against the background of the 1951 Festi val of Britain, Woodcock said the Smithsons, perhaps more than any other British architects, have stressed the importance of “build ing as community structure” over the “building as a monument.” The TAMU professor pointed out the Smithsons’ book, “Urban Structuring,” published by Rein hold in 1967, serves as a valuable introduction to their philosophy. The University Lecture Series, launched in 1963, provides an op portunity for the academic com munity and the general public to hear noted authorities speak on subjects of broad social, politi cal and intellectual interest, Dr. Landmann explained. The lectures are under the sponsorship of the vice president for academic af fairs and the academic colleges. Smithson is presented by the Col lege of Architecture and Environ mental Design. UFO % parapsychology topics for Great Issues U. S.-China relations, UFO’s, the volunteer army and parapsy chology are among Great Issues presentations this spring at A&M. The 1971-72 series resumes Feb. 22, announced Great Issues chairman Sam Drugan. Nuclear physicist Dr. Stanton Friedman will make the first address. He will discuss the reality of unidentified flying objects (UFO’s), to which Friedman has devoted several years of inde pendent study. lie has a back ground in space technology and propulsion systems.

Public Policy Series begun last fall. Professor of science and society at Cornell, Dr. Long will speak on the university response in science and technology. On Feb. 29, shortly after Presi dent Nixon leaves on his China visit, Dr. Richard Walker of the University of South Carolina will address Great Issues on “Transi tion in U. S.-China Relations.” Walker directs USC’s Institute of International Studies. Army Lt. Gen. George Forsythe will be presented by Great Issues March 16. A special assistant to Gen. William C. Westmoreland, General Forsythe will talk on the modern volunteer army. “Extra-Sensory Perception: Re cent Advances in Parapsychol ogy” will be the March 23 topic of two speakers. They are Hugh Lynn Cayce and his son, Dr. Charles T. Cayce. They are both associated with the Association for Research and Enlightenment, a Virginia Institute for the study of psychic phenomenon. The Great Issues speakers are the son and grandson of the late Edgar Cayce, famous psychic on whom they have written several books. Drugan noted that admission to Great Issues presentations is free. He said all the currently scheduled speakers will appear in evening lectures in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom with the exception of Dr. Long, a noon speaker. Other spring programs are planned, Drugan added. Greenhut given NSF award Dr. M. L. Greenhut, distin guished professor of economics, has been awarded a $42,200 grant by the National Science Founda tion, for research on spatial pric ing and market areae shapes and sizes. Dr. Greenhut said his plan of study is to formulate alternative models of pricing over economic space, and to effect statistical tests of data obtained from indi vidual firms and census reports. A basic objective of the re search is to ascertain the ex pected pricing patterns and mar ket forms for various kinds of products and then to compare theoretical projections with actual patterns, the professor explained. Deviations attributable to se lected economic institutions and statutes hopefully can also be identified, Dr. Greenhut added, so that, Robinson-Patman im pacts on interstate pricing, for example, would then be deter minable. Contract given sensing center Dr. John W. Rouse Jr., director of A&M’s Remote Sensing Center, has been awarded a $10,000 con tract from NASA’s Langley Re search Center to determine the geoscience applications of orbit ing radar imaging systems. The project supports a Uni versity of Michigan study to determine the engineering specifi cations for radar systems oper ated in orbiting spacecraft. Dr. Rouse will determine how radar should be operated to pro vide information for studies in oceanography, hydrology and ge ology. An imaging radar system, he explained, produces information which looks like a black and white photograph. However, a radar system has several advantages over the standard camera and film because cloud cover may obscure much of the earth. Cloud cover has no effect on radar wave lengths, making clear images possible at all times. Dr. Rouse pointed out many scientists believe in the future, when the earth’s resources are systematically surveyed by orbit ing spacecraft, the basic sensor for collecting data will be a radar system. Basement features Mance Lipscomb Blues singer Mance Lipscomb will be featured in the Basement Coffee House spring semester opening this weekend at A&M. The Basement, located in the lower level of the MSG, will be open from 8 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, Chairman Bob Lackey announced. Admission is 75 cents per per son or $1.25 per couple.
