The annual report of the chapter submitted to the execu tive reviewing committee was also of chief importance in the award.” President of the 1971-72 chap ter receiving the award was James Christian, now an indus trial engineer with Lone Star Steel, according to Dr. Burgess. Chairman of the local host con vention committee was Lt. Col, George F. Heinrich. “Receiving this award is par ticularly meaningful to industrial engineering students at A&M* Dr. Burgess noted, “because i! reflects their active interest ia the student role and in the pro fession. The students further ex press this interest by hosting technical meetings with speaker and giving a freshman scholar ship.” Richard Anderson, current Al pha Pi Mu president at A&JI said the 1973-74 student chapter is focusing on letting people km* what industrial engineering is about and drawing quality stu dents into the curriculum at A&M.

FORMERLY JEANS N' THINGS The stack sampling short course held recently by A&M’s Chemical Engineering Department has been met with so much enthusiasm that two more identical courses have been tentatively scheduled, accord ing to course director Dr. W. B. Harris. He said many organizations that sent personnel to the initial course have expressed a desire to send more of their staff members to like courses. One course, sched uled for Aug. 13-17, has enrolled more than 20 participants, Dr. Harris said. Another course, set for Nov. 12- 16, has been tentatively scheduled to accommodate the expected in terest generated by the August course. The courses aid industry and governmental personnel in com pliance with Rule 9 of the Texas Air Control Board, which states that all stacks that emit pollu tants must be regularly moni tored and the results submitted to TACB for analysis. The courses are limited to not more than 25 students per session, enabling instructors to maintain a close working relationship with participants, Dr. Harris noted. ‘The courses will be basically the same as the first one,” he ex plained, “but we will have more practical work and less classroom theory in the next two sessions.” Hartley Picked As Delegate Dr. H. O. Hartley, director of the Institute of Statistics at A&M, has been selected as a del egate to the International Sta tistical Institute Convention in Vienna, Austria. Hartley will present a paper entitled “Multiple Frame Sur veys” Aug. 20 and will also par ticipate in a discussion of “Ana lytic Studies of Survey Data” Aug. 23.
