Arbor Day Kits
Available Soon
Arbor Day Program kits are
being offered again this fall for
delivery before Christmas, accord
ing to the Texas Forest Service.
The kits are free but available
only to teachers and conservation-
minded organizations in Texas.
The quantRy is limited to one kit
per teacher or organization.
Arbor Day is a special occasion,
throughout the United States,
during which the importance apd
planting of trees is observed. The
next special observance of Arbor
Day in Texas will be Jan. 19, 1973.
Arbor Day kits contain two
quality pecan seeds (pecan is the
state tree of Texas) and a pro
gram brochure which contains
planting instructions, program
outline and appropriate aids for
on Arbor Day observance. Teach
ers find planting the seeds to be
an excellent fall and springtime
classroom project.
The pecan seeds are provided
by the Texas Pecan Growers As
sociation which annually cooper
ates with the Texas Forest Serv
ice in the state-wide observance
of Arbor Day.
Teachers and ■« program chair
men wanting a free Arbor Day
kit should address their requests
to the Texas Forest Service, Col

Dr. Plass, head of TAMU’s Phy
sics Department, said the project
mainly is a theoretical mathemat
ical study where various mathe
matical formulas will be compar
ed with NASA data.
He noted light interacts with
an atmosphere and by following
the scattering events it is pos
sible to determine the composi
tion.
One application will be to de
termine what makes up the clouds
of Venus, something not known
at the present time. Other studies
involve looking back at Earth
through spacecraft sensors to de
termine the chlorophyl content of
the oceans and a study of color
in the twilight sky on Earth.
Dr. George W. Kattawar, asso
ciate professor of physics, is co
principal investigator on the proj
ect.
The NASA funding began last
year, with the new grant begin
ning Oct. 1.

Career Day Scheduled
Career Day in the Colleges of
Agriculture, Engineering and Sci
ence has been scheduled Sept. 30
at A&M.
Coinciding with the Texas
A&M-U. S. Military Academy
football game, Career Day will
provide visiting students informa
tion on the various programs in
the three colleges.
Officials expect 5,000 students,
parents and teachers for the
event, which will have agriculture
and engineering exhibits in the
Zachry Engineering Center and
College of Science exhibits in the
Biological Sciences Building.
TAMU faculty and student rep
resentatives will be available to
answer questions. Career Day ac
tivities will run from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Grads Receive Grant
A grant by the Houston section
of the American Welding Society
has been awarded to two A&M
graduate students for develop
mental studies of thermite weld
ing.
Recipients of the grant are
Frank C. Eller of Houston and
Thomas M. Glynn of Garland, an
nounced Dr. Clint A. Bertrand.
They are master’s degree can
didates in industrial technology,
an option of the Engineering
Technology Department.
The $400 grant will be used for
development of thermite welding
of steel tubing. Findings could
have applications for pipeline
construction. Eller and Glynn re
ceived the grant on the basis of
their presentation to the execu
tive committee of the AWS Hous
ton section, explained Bertrand,
engineering technology professor.
The separate research will build
on work conducted under AWS
grant by another industrial tech
nology graduate student last year.

MUNICH <A>> — The Interna
tional Olympic Committee asked
the Munich Games’ organizers to
resume competition Wednesday
and, if possible, hold the closing
ceremony on Sunday as original
ly scheduled.
A spokesman for the organiz
ing committee said it favored
extending the Games for another
24 hours to facilitate reschedul
ing of events postponed on Tues
day after the Arab terrorist at
tack on the Israeli Olympic team.
If the organizers have their
way, the Games would end on
Monday.
The spokesman said it would
be difficult to squeeze the post
poned events into an already
crowded schedule.
The IOC made its wishes known
after meeting past midnight in
a downtown hotel.
The Games are to resu
following Wednesday morning’s
memorial service at the Olympic
Stadium for the Israeli victims.
The rescheduling question has
still to be resolved, the spokes
man said, adding it would be
taken up again later Wednesday
by both the IOC and the Games’
organizers.
