Dr. Marvin W. Rowe, professor of chemistry at TAMU, and J. Marvin Herndon, chemistry doc toral candidate, will join with Col orado scientists Prof. E. E. Lar son and Dr. D. E. Watson in studying magnetic properties of meteorites. The scientists are decoding magnetic messages recorded in meteorites during their formation some five billion years ago. The messages are in the form of rem anent magnetism—the magnetism remaining in a magnetized body after the body is removed from the influence of the magnet field —in certain very primitive me teorites. The researchers concluded in preliminary studies that there ex isted a magnetic field in the very early history of the solar system, one that existed even before the formation of the planetary bodies. Some of the meteorites studied by the scientists in preliminary investigations indicated very faint traces of magnetism, revealing the possibility that magnetic forces extended throughout the primitive dust cloud which pre dated the birth of the solar sys tem. The preliminary study, which resulted in Herndon being award ed the Nininger Meteorite Award for 1971-72, was begun in mid- 1971. Cooperation from the Soviet Union, France, India and other East and West European coun tries, resulted in the team being able to examine all known speci mens from the carbonaceous me teorites, a particularly rare type of meteorite best preserved from the period of origin of the solar system. “We’ve had excellent coopera tion from the Russians,” Dr. Rowe said. “In fact, they have been co operating with American scien tists studying meteorites for more than a decade, and they have of ten cooperated in this field when the two countries cooperated in nothing else.” Dr. Rowe said that many the ories established in early work on the project had been substan tiated, and he felt more definite conclusions would be forthcoming as the project progresses. One sidelight of the project led researchers to a potential method for determining the past temper ature history of the samples un- the project is being administered versation between Herndon and der study, as well as magnetic properties. Funded with a $43,310 grant, Window Shades Conserve Energy through the Texas A&M Research Foundation. The project has been funded for two years, Dr. Rowe said. the two Colorado scientists during a geological field trip. His award winning paper and preliminary in vestigations on the project set the The project evolved from a con- stage for the in-depth study. Window shades cut down on energy required to cool a room since tremendous amounts of cold are lost through windows. “Drawn shades reduce what ar chitects call cold-or-heat bounce, which causes drafts,” explained Patricia A. Bradshaw, housing and home furnishings specialist in A&M’s Texas Agricultural Exten sion Service. “Drafts make a room seem hot ter or colder than it actually is— so residents often turn up air conditioners or change thermo stat settings for comfort. As a result, additional energy or elec tricity is required. “When energy savings — from drawn shades — are established over an entire house, homemakers actually cons erve considerable amounts—and cut down on elec tric bills at the same time.” Miss Bradshaw noted that the window shade industry piloted a special “June is Window Shade Month” program last year—and is repeated it this year. It’s purpose is to show home makers how to reduce fuel used while creating attractive window treatments. June was chosen since it’s the time when air conditioners “eat up” electricity. However, energy conservation isn’t limited to summer months, the specialist pointed out. “Window shades also reduce heating losses during winter and fall.” Briscoe Proclaims Safe Boating Week AUSTIN — Governor Dolph Briscoe has proclaimed July 1-7 Safe Boating Week in Texas, join ing with the Texas Safety Asso ciation in urging all boaters in the state to observe safe boating practices. “Each year an increasing num ber of Texans are spending more and more time in recreational boating in Texas waterways,” said the Governor, noting that the number of boats now registered in Texas approaches 400,000. “Our state is fortunate in hav ing an abundance of lakes, rivers and streams and the Gulf Coast where Texans can enjoy the pleas- BUSIER - JONES AGENCY HOME MORTGAGES INSURANCE EARM & HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo. 3523 Texas Ave. (in Ridgecrest) 846-3708 IMPORTED 3 & 10 SPEED BIKES Tourist & Racing Styles .'A Motobecane Raleigh Atala Peugeot Bianchi CENTRAL CYCLE & SUPPLY Sales • Service • Accessories 3505 E. 29th St. — 822-2228 — Closed Monday Take East University to 29th St. (Tarrow Street) ures of boating,” Governor Bris coe said. However, he continued to say that this increase in recreational crafts, “greatly intensifies the water safety problem.” “It is imperative that all boat men observe the basic rules of boating safety if we are going to keep the loss of life and property damage at a minimum,” he said. “The Congress of the United States, in recognition of the im portance of such safe boating practices, has requested by joint resolution that the President pro claim annually the week that in cludes the 4th of July as National Safe Boating Week. The Governor closed the procla mation of July 1-7 as Safe Boat ing Week in Texas by urging all persons, organizations and gov ernmental agencies interested in safety afloat to publicize and ob serve safe boating week. The Texas Safety Association, in keeping with the theme of the “Safe Boating Is No Accident” says that planning and study of safety rules are necessary to avoid boating mishaps. While each boatman will en counter specialized safety require ments for his particular boat and the way he uses it, TSA suggests a group of basics that make up the “Golden Rules of Boating”: 1. Know your boat. 2. Don’t overload. 3. Keep a good lookout. 4. Operate at safe speeds. 5. Respect the weather. 6. Take sufficient fuel. 7. Keep your boat in shape. 8. Carry necessary equipment. 9. Secure your boat properly. 10. Obey the law. Krueger-Dunn Mon. - Sun.

No investment will return greater dividends than a good education for your son. And good education is what Allen School is all about. For 86 years, Allen (formerly Allen Academy) has been preparing young men to meet the entrance require ments of college and to meet the challenges of life. We believe in boys. And we enjoy helping boys organize their thoughts, strengthen their moral character, develop their physical well being and learn that success depends upon desire and self-discipline. Academics are primary at our school. Classes are small and instruction is personal. A full range of supporting programs (including professional counseling, a well stocked library, supervised study, athletics, hobbies and recreation) insure development of your son’s individual talents and interests. Allen is designated an “Honor Military School with Distinction:’ Boarding students accepted in grades 6-12. Enrollment is limited. Write or call for detailed information on admission requirements, fees and catalog. Better yet, come to Bryan and see us personally. The more you learn about private schools in the Southwest the more you’ll want to invest in your son’s education at Allen. The Allen School W. B.
