Better mail system proposed by grads An A&M graduate students’ proposal for more efficient de livery of mail was evaluated Thursday by engineers of Hous ton, Bryan and College Station post offices. Sitting in on the oral presen tation were John McGaw, Hous ton general post office electrical engineer, and Leopoldo Perez with the Boeing Co. in Houston. Local postmasters E. C. Moehlman of Consumers' Choice VOTE FOR CARL A. BELL DEMOCRAT FOR STATE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE My opponent has been in this office 22 years. He is out-of-touch with the consumers, farmers, and ranchers. Democrats and Republicans will agree that it is "Time For A Change". Vote for Carl Bell. May 6, 1972 Pd. Pol. Ad. 1.

ENROLL NOW Bryan and Ernest Gregg of Col lege Station, or their representa tives were present. The presentation, “A Prelim inary Design Proposal for Sys tems of Mail Delivery,” was given by graduate students in an inter disciplinary engineering course instructed by Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger. Warren Cancienne of New Or leans, Stanley D. Cass of Briggs- dale, Cblo., and Robert E. Wink, Seguin, evaluated, developed and analyzed concepts in the pro posal. Systems they described for im proving mail delivery efficiency included automated “rural-type” delivery and a comer module that would eliminate door-to-door de livery. Another system the stu dent engineers called a sidewalk vehicle concept was considered as supplemental to the other two systems. Based on in-house sorting of mail in an expandable sorting bin they designed, the systems were developed to reduce delivery handling of mail. The rural con cept included a new mail box and delivery-pick up “gun.” The comer module system would involve a truck-delivered and handled compartment of individ ual mail boxes to a covered stand, located one per block. Patrons Faculty honored A&M cited 26 faculty-staff members for service and achieve ment at two programs Thursday. President Williams presided at the Annual Faculty Recognition and Awards Program where the Association of Former Students presented $1,000 awards and com memorative watches to 12 hon- orees. The Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation made three similar $1,000 awards. Former Students awards for achievement in teaching went to Dr. Walter E. Haisler, Jr., assist ant professor of aerospace engi neering; Dr. Carol R. Anderson, assistant professor of educational psychology; Dr. Murray H. Mil ford, associate professor of soil and crop sciences; Richard E. Vrooman, professor of environ mental design; Dr. George F. Car ter, distinguished professor of ge ography; Dr. Richard R. Davison, professor of chemical engineer ing, and Dr. Ronald Raye Clark, associate professor of veterinary physiology. Awards for research were pre sented to Dr. Garland H. Cannon, professor of English; Dr. John W. Handin, professor of geology and geophysics, and Dr. H. O. Hartley, professor of statistics. The Association’s award for in dividual student relations went to Logan E. Weston of the YMCA, and the award for achievement in extension work was given to John R. Bailey, animal reproduc tion specialist. Standard Oil presentations were to Dr. J. D. Dodd, professor of range science; Dr. Charles K. Hancock, professor of chemistry, and Dr. Gary C.

Eleven retiring faculty mem bers were also honored at a recep tion and dinner sponsored by the university and the Association of Former Students. Dr. Haskell Monroe, Assistant Vice President for Academic Af fairs, served as master of cere monies. All the honorees are re tiring by August 31. Dr. J. Paul Abbott, professor of English, heads the group in length of service with 46 years. Prof. Lewis M. Haupt, profes sor of electrical engineering, has been a member of the faculty 42 years. Dr. Sewell H. Hopkins has risen through the ranks from in structor to professor of biology during his 37-year A&M career. Dr. John H. Quisenberry, with 36 years of service, has been pro fessor and head of the Poultry Science Department for the past 27 years. Prof. H. Ray Putnam, in his 31-year career at TAMU, has served as both an associate professor of economics and as a member of the coaching staff. Prof. William S. Guthrie, asso ciate professor of mechanical en gineering, has taught here 30 years. Prof. Adolph F. DeWerth has been connected with the univer sity 26 years as professor of floriculture and section leader in the Soil and Crop Sciences De partment. Prof. Milton A. Hug- gett, assistant professor of Eng lish, also has 26 years of experi ence. : ■ ' Dr. Herman A. Liebhafsky joined the university five years ago as professor of chemistry. Prof. Mack L. Williams has been a mathematics instructor for 17 years. With five years of serv ice is Dr. Marian L. Piotrowski, professor of finance. would have to walk no more than a block to pick up mail. Each compartment would consist of 68 mailboxes with parcel boxes on the opposite end. Delivery and pickup trucks would handle 10 modules at a time. The designers pointed out that social resistance to such a system “would have to be countered with a lively public relations effort on behalf of the Postal Service.” They envisioned the rural de livery system to incorporate a specially-equipped truck with a motorized rotating holder for the in-house sorted bins. The bin stor age platform would extract bins along a frame beside the driver for delivery. Constraints imposed by Roden berger in the proposal request required that the systems call for no additional personnel, keep op eration costs within the present Postal Service budget and be ac ceptable to the Postal Workers Union. The students computed mone tary savings to the Postal Serv ice through the module system alone at $1.22 billion per year. They recommended incorpora tion of the rural system in appro priate areas as soon as suitable testing is completed, prototype operation of “sidewalk vehicles” and main delivery trucks to start evaluation and testing and initiat ing legal and socio-economic steps to prepare the public for imple mentation of the corner module. An engineering science gradu ate of LSU, Cancienne is work ing toward the M.S. in mechan ical engineering at TAMU. Cass received the bachelor degree at West Point, studied at Colorado A&M and Southern Cal and is a candidate for the master’s in meteorology. Wink is candidate for the M.S. in mechanical engineering, in which he earned the bachelor de gree at A&M last year.
