Fry, the researcher, said. “Quantum mechanics was a new approach developed to solve such problems,” he said. “It provided us with an excellent way of mak ing statistical predictions or rath er of predicting what will happen on the average during interactions between these particles. “However, it is generally in capable of making a precise pre diction of the result of a single interaction between these par ticles. For example, one can’t make precise predictions of the result of firing a single electron at an atom. “We normally live in a world where, given the physical condi tions, we can predict with cer tainty what will happen,” Fry pointed out. “For example as a child can learn that if you touch something hot it will bum you; this is a precise prediction. But, if you try to fire an electron at an atom, you can only make pre dictions of probabilities; one can’t say for certain. “Scientists were absessed with the nagging problem that they couldn’t predict a single event,” he said. “Einstein was one of the first to write down his objections to quantum mechanics in 1935 but he provided no solutions. “One way out of the problem is the suggestion that there are additional variables whose values are unknown to us,” Fry said. “Presumably if one knew the values of these variables one could make precise predictions. The problem then becomes one of making a measurement in the region where quantum mechanics and any theory incorporating the unknown variables are inconsist- ant. “Such experiments are extreme ly difficult,” he explained. “The first successful example was com pleted in 1972 at Berkeley and was in agreement with quantum mechanics, which is what most physicists expected. However, a just completed experiment at Harvard got the opposite results istry e . .... ...

Hiler succeeds Price Hobgood as the new head of the TAMU Agricultural En gineering Department, effective September 1. Hobgood, who has headed the department since 1959, is resign ing to enter private business. Hiler, an Ohio native, has been with TAMU and the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station since 1966. He was promoted to asso ciate professor in 1969 and to professor in 1973. Eye test available for home screening One in every 20 preschool-age children in the U. S. has a vision problem. But help is now avail able for these children, accord ing to one authority. Dr. Barbara Sears, TAMU health education specialist, re ported the Home Eye Test Kit which parents can use to do a vision screening of their pre schoolers at home is now avail able. The kit is free from the Texas Society for the ^Prevention of Blindness, 3617 Fannin St., Hous ton, Tex. 77004, and is also avail able in Spanish. “Any vision screening only in dicates that a child may have a visual defect,” Dr. Sears said. “Vision screening is not diag nostic and does not take the place of a professional eye examina tion,” the specialist said. But the Home Eye Test Kit is the chance to locate children who have never had their vision test ed, who show no outward signs Craft s preparations in last week This is the final week for teens to register for the Teen Crafts Show and Sale on Saturday, June 29 at the Manor East Mall. Anyone between the ages of 13 and 19 may exhibit and sell their paintings, sculptures, wood or metal works, knitting, or any other craft. There is no charge for participation in the show, al though exhibitors must provide their own displays. For space reservations, or more information, call Gail Hogan, at 846-4837, extension 40. that they are near-sighted, that they are using only one eye ef fectively, or that they can ‘read’ the chart with each eye separate ly but not with both eyes togeth er,” the specialist explained. The Home Eye Test Kit in cludes a scale version of the E chart, directions for training the child to take the test, for giving the test, and for interpreting test results. A report form, to be returned to the Society, asks the parent whether the child passed the test, and if not, whether an appoint ment has been made for an eye examination and with whom. “We hope this will be an in ducement for parents to obtain early visual care for their young children,” Dr. Sears said.
