Norton, assistant professor of aerospace engineer ing, is conducting the tests at the wind tunnel in cooperation with Dave Millikan, director of the facility, and the wind tunnel staff. “We are using a plastic scale model of the structure,” Dr. Nor ton explained, “to measure points of stress on the building in winds of hurricane and gale force. “The structure is holding up quite well on the wind-loading experiments, but we haven’t start ed rapid depressurization tests which simulate tornado actions.” The modular home, which weighs 96 tons and is trucked to the building site in four modules, is precast at the company’s San Antonio plant. The basic structure consists of two cement pads and two sections which are tied to gether at the construction site. Wind speeds of 80 and 130 m.p.h. are being used in the wind tunnel tests. The depressuriza tion tests will be undertaken in a pressure tank, according to Dr. Norton. The project, funded through September with $4,000, is being administered by the Texas A&M Research Foundation. AUSTIN — Federal Environ mental Protection Agency propos als to cut auto pollution smog in Texas ran into opposition in pub lic hearings last week. EPA proposes to put the smog control plans into effect August 15 unless convinced it should alter or delay them. Here’s what the controls would mean, with variations from area to area: *Specific traffic lanes for buses and car pools on freeways. *Installation of anti-pollution devices on pre-1968 cars. *Elimination of downtown park ing in major cities like Houston and San Antonio. * Gasoline quotas. *Reducing gasoline fumes in some areas (like Austin-Waco) by improved storage tanks and tighter gasoline delivery trucks.

A Texas Air Control Board representative also challenged constitutionality of EPA recom mendations to require owners of seven-year-old (and older) cars to install anti-smog equipment. The latter requirement, said the Board spokesman, places an undue process and equal guaran tees of the fifth and 14th amend ments. Air Control Board spokesmen have contended emission control devices would cost owners of old cars $300 million and would af fect one per cent of the total pollution problem. Record Second Summer Term Enrollment Second session summer enroll ment at A&M totals 6,097, repre senting an 8.3 per cent increase over the previous record for this period set last year. Registrar Robert A. Lacey said the figures include 136 students participating in the Texas Mari time Academy and “Summer School at Sea” cruise to the Medi terranean and 58 students en rolled in marine related studies at Galveston. The figures represent tabula tions as of the fourth class day, the official reporting period for state supported insttutions, Lacey noted. He pointed out second session enrollment is traditionally lower than that of the first session, but the decrease is less than normal this year. Enrollment during the first session was 6,855, also a record. Landlords May List Through ‘Y’ For Students Bryan and College Station property owners with available living quarters to rent or lease may list through the YMCA for incoming A&M students. Logan Weston said rooms in private homes and furnished or unfurnished houses, apartments and trailers are in demand. Owners are asked to stop in at the “Y” office, 216 University Center, to make listings. A&M’s fall enrollment exceeds on-campus housing capabilities. A card file at the YMCA provides a detailed description of rental facilities, including price and lo cation. Weston, religious life coordi nator and YMCA general secre tary, said the file cards cannot be filled out over the phone. The listing requires the property own er’s certification that the owner will abide by the Fair Housing Act as endorsed by the State of Texas. Sports Car Club To Run Gymkhana The Texas A&M Sports Car Club will run a gymkhana Satur day on the Zachry Engineering Center parking lot. The Saturday gymkhana will match drivers one at a time on a Parking Lot 50 course. Event master Don Tunison said the best minimum elapsed time will win. Technical inspection will start at 9 a.m. The first car will go on the course at 10 a.m. An entry fee of $2.00 per driver will be charged. “This type event can give use ful driver training for emergency maneuvers to avoid accidents in regular street and road driving,” noted Richard de Bruin, club pub licity chairman. Spectators will be admitted free. PAWN LOANS Money Loaned On Anything Of Value. Quick Cash For Any Emergency. See Us For Ready Cash Today.
