Che Battalion Officials served sampling of A&M cottonseed cuisine ROBERT HALSELL TRAVEL SERVICE AIRLINE SCHEDULE INFORMATION FARES AND TICKETS DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL Dignitaries got a chance to see what the meals of the future may be like while they were visiting TAMU. State officials, TAMU board of di rectors, industry leaders and ag ricultural producers set down to a meal of cottonseed products. The meal was a kick-off of the annual budget meeting for the Advisory Council to the Natural Fibers and Food Protein Committee of Texas. The committee reviews research projects and approves the research budget for the next year for TAMU, Texas Tech, U niversity of Texas and Texas Women’s University. Graduates to aid Dow in problems TAMU graduate students are helping solve problems for Dow Chemical Company this summer. Dow and Texas A&M University chemical engineers will cooperate on three research projects over the next year. During the summer, graduate students are working on these projects at the Dow Chemical Company in Freeport. The projects range from the improvement of methods for designing distillation columns to solutions of waste prob lems. Dr. C. D. Holland will supervise the group involved in the design and analysis of conventional and complex distillation columns as well as processes containing any number of these columns. Results of field tests on existing columns will be used to improve the design equa tions in order that more economical 'designs may be realized in the fu ture. “We want to see what the col umns are doing under certain condi tions so that we can more accurately predict the separation of chemical compounds,’’ Holland said. The second project is concerned | with rheology of polyethylene melts. The objective of this project is a comprehensive determination of all of the properties of molten polyethylenes which control the way they behave during processing, also how these properties depend upon the molecular structure of the polymers. A variety of different polyethylenes are being studied as well as blends of these polymers. The results will enable the predic tion of such unique processing phenomena as die swell and melt fracture from a small amount of test data. Supervisor for the group is Dr. Ron Darby. The final operation is proposed to continue research on alternatives to treating waste streams from plants at Dow. Biological and other pro cesses for conversion of these streams will be examined. It’s also proposed to provide assistance to Dow personnel in selecting proce dures to cut down on losses caused by processes required to meet en vironmental objectives. One researcher will obtain design data for the biodegradation of wastes at Dow. Another will design a pilot plant to obtain scale-up fac tors for biological conversions of wastes. The pilot plant will also be used to develop new and more pro ductive biological processes. A third researcher will work with strains of algae which converts carbon dioxide to high energy carbon compounds at high rates. This will be done to evaluate the abilities to provide a cheap source of carbon needed for balance in biodegradation systems at Dow. The final project will be super vised by Dr. D. T. Hanson. o'*'* C I‘ ICE COLD BEER TAMALES CHEESE HANG-DOWN GAMES SOUND SYSTEM FEATURING THE BEST IN PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY AND ROCK 308 University (North Gate) 846-2332 MONDAY - FRIDAY 12-12 SATURDAY 12-1 SUNDAY 4-12 The large menu was put together by members of the Food Protein Research and Development Center at TAMU. All of the recipes con tained 15 to 100 percent cottonseed or cottonseed protein products. In cluded were: Italian meatballs, meat loaf, broiled meat patties, onion flavored toasted cottonseeds, salads, rolls, cake, parfait and cookies. Apparently only the drinks escaped without a healthy dose of the high protein additions. One dish, that resembled lasagna and called the “Aggieland Surprise ’, contained 100 percent textured cot tonseed protein instead of meat. Researchers working with the product have found that textured cottonseed adds to the total protein content of the food. It costs approx imately one-fourth as much as ground beef and it also reduces the fat loss in a recipe by 10 percent. making it juicier and larger. Data center rush can be avoided People planning to use the Data Processing Center may be in for crowded facilities and slow turnarounds at mid Au gust. Chuck Adams, in charge of DPC user assistance, says the rush is caused by the end- ingof the fiscal year on Aug. 20. Adams suggests that people try to use the computer bet- ween 8 to 10:30 in the morning or 5 to 7 in the evening. “The secret to success,’ he said“isto get research and development done now, get the program to the production state early, then run the tar out of it.” Adams expects the DPC to average about 2,800 jobs per day during the months of July and August, especially the last two weeks before the 20th.

This means you should request that a copy be ordered for you when you preregister. All you have to do is check the “yes” box beside the appropriate entry on your Housing Authoriza tion card, and payment will be included in your total state ment for room and board, tuition and related fees. PLAN FOR THE FUTURE-ORDER NOW (Don’t find yourself wishing years from now that you had purchased a copy of the yearbook. Do it now and be glad for years to come.) STUDENT PUBLICATIONS DEPARTMENT The Housing Authorization Card also includes provisions for the standard $2 fee for students desiring to have their individual picture published in the yearbook.
