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.

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.

Orientation
The Aggieland is now offered on an optional basis, rather
than being included in student services fees. 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.
