Most Houstonians apparently
>el the government should re
quire automakers to manufacture
only non-polluting cars even if
ley cost as much as 20 per cent
nore than present models.
A majority of residents in the
tate’s largest city apparently
ilso feel that industrial plants
hould be expected to discharge
he minimum amount of pollu-
ants technologically possible
went if not required by law.
While they think industry should
bear the cost of clean air, most
Houstonians seem to favor tax
incentives to industry for installa
tion of pollution-abatement equip
ment.
These are the major findings in
a study conducted as part of
A&M’s Environmental Quality
Program. The project was con
ducted by Dr. Earl Cook, dean
of geosciences, and Candice De-
Pauw, former Environmental
Quality Program research assist
ant.
Purpose of their study was to
learn more about the decision
linking public knowledge of a
problem through various pres
sures or action groups and the
local news media to the official
decision bodies of city, county,
state and federal government.
Persons selected for receipt of
the questionnaire were chosen
from local membership in the fol
lowing groups: Industrial plant
managers (selected from the Tex
as Gulf Coast Manufacturers
Guide); Houston Junior Bar As
sociation; Houston Junior Cham
ber of Commerce; Oil, Chemical
and Atomic Workers Internation
al Union, AFL-CIO; Brotherhood
of Railway, Airline and Steam
ship Clerks, American Institute
of Chemical Engineers; Houston
Air Conservation Committee (San
Jacinto Tuberculosis and Respi
ratory Disease Association);
League of Women Voters; Help
Eliminate Pollution (HEP); Gar
den Clubs of Houston; Houston
Sportsmen’s Club and Students of
Lee Junior College, Baytown.
The first six groups were
termed “economic” groups and
the second six “non-economic.”
The questionnaires consisted of
a personal profile and a series
of questions on attitudes and ac
tivities centered on air pollution
but not exclusively related to it.
Nine hundred ninety-one question
naires were mailed to randomly
selected members of the 12
groups. A total of 389 usable
questionnoires (39.3 per cent)
were returned; 188 were from the
economic groups and 201 were
from the non-economic groups.
Respondents rated nine char
acteristics of Houston as a city
in which to live and work, on a
scale of superior to very poor.

The responses indicated a gen
erally “good” to “very good” rat-
in for the city, especially its
economic opportunities, cultural
facilities, appearance, and rate of
growth.
Participants named natural en
vironment most often as the en
vironmental factor most impor
tant in their choice of a city in
which to live and work.
Those questioned said air pol
lution in Houston came from two
main sources: industrial plants
and motor vehicles. People in
both groups relied on personal
observation and the communica
tions media for their information
about air pollution.
Houstonians were also more
critical of local government’s ef
forts to control air pollution than
the business and industrial com
munity’s efforts though giving
both poor ratings.
More Jobs
For Grads
Job opportunities for winter
1972 and spring 1973 graduates
of A&M increased during the
closing weeks of the college re
cruiting season, the annual re
port of the TAMU Placement Of
fice shows.
The report reveals employers
are still contacting the Placement
Office in search of qualified grad
uates, and many companies who
have completed spring recruiting
visits are now looking for addi
tional personnel.
In the fall of 1972, 163 com
panies interviewed students, and
in the spring of 1973 employers
visiting TAMU numbered 217.
Since many companies scheduled
more than one visit, the total
number of employers who visited
TAMU during 1972-73 was 253,
compared to 215 during 1971-72.
Six hundred and thirteen TAMU
former students registered with
the Alumni Placement Service
provided by the Placement Office
this year. Seven hundred thirty-
three employers made job calls
directly to the service, compared
to 393 calls in 1971-72.
Salary offers reported to the
Placement Office for bachelor^
degrees ranged from $500 for
management to $1,150 for me
chanical engineering.
For master’s degrees, salary
offers ranged from $850 for com
puter science and electrical en
gineering to $1,150 for chemical
engineering and industrial engi
neering.
Salary offers started at $1,100
for Ph.D. degrees in biology and
rose to $1,750 for Ph.D. degrees
in mechanical engineering.
Louis Van Pelt is the TAMU
Placement Office director.
