The conference, which convenes on the TAMU campus for the first time since 1971, will examine a number of ground water manage ment issues ranging from legislation to management and technological aspects. Dr. J. R. Runkles, director of TAM U’s Texas Water Resources In stitute, says attendance may exceed 200. Water management in metropoli tan, irrigated and coastal areas will also be scrutinized while government’s relation to the topic and economic areas are due review. Hobby will head a number of familiar names at the two-day con clave. Gov. Dolph Briscoe of Uvalde may attend the Thursday evening banquet if the State Demo cratic Convention doesn’t conflict in scheduling. Registration will be handled from 7:30-9:15 a. m.

The project was funded by the Coast Guard to improve the man ufacturing of the 40,000 daymark waterway navigation signs used in the U. S. and territorial waters. Co-principal investigators were Dr. M. J. Fox, Jr., associate profes sor and acting head of the Industrial Engineering Division, Department of Industrial Engineering, and Al bert Pedulla, acting director of the Architecture Research Center. Daymarks identify turns, deter mine locations and indicate obstruc tions in the 26,000 miles of U. S. waters. They are considered the roadsigns of marine operations. “By day, daymarks are used for visual sightings on rivers, inter coastal waterways and harbor entr ances,” Fox explained. “At night they are supplemented with sear chlights and used to pilot boats.” Upon receipt of the grant, the in terdisciplinary researchers in spected manufacturing systems in the U.S. Using closed circuit TV, still cameras and interviews with operating personnel, they documented the physical plant facilities housing the manufacturing process as well as methods of pro duction. Finally, they applied architec tural and engineering analysis tech niques to identify problems in exist ing manufacturing systems. They also sought ways to improve economy in raw material use and production methods. “For example, we discovered it was not necessary to make the signs from plywood costing $20 per sheet when, actually, the less expensive $7 per sheet sections would suffice. Fox said. Daymarks range from three square feet to 12 by 24 feet. “Since the architect’s primary role is to design a building in sup port of the function it serves, the TAMU Architecture Research Center participated in devising and HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAVE SOME OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS?

Pedulla further commented that it was necessary to find work methods that were not only effi cient, but also politically usable. He said that often the methods they ob served were very inefficient and de signed to meet the needs of the par ticular area. . “To fully appreciate the impor tance of daymarks, one need only consider the daily use of our major rivers—Ohio, Mississippi, Arkan sas, Columbia—in addition to the heavily traveled Intracoastal Waterway running northward out of Brownsville, or the Inside Passage way that runs from Seattle to An chorage,” Fox concluded. Students receive ’79 class awards High school seniors selected for TAM U’s President’s Scholarships will enroll next fall. The 31 President’s Scholars receive $1,000 a year for up to five years under graduate study. The award is designed to recog nize outstanding scholarship and leadership among high school seniors. It helps keep Texas stu dents in the state for their university studies. This year’s Scholars brings the number recognized to about 200 students since the Scholarship’s in ception in 1967. Several hundred nominees were considered by the Faculty Scholar ships Committee in selecting the Class of ’79 President’s Scholars. They were nominated by their high school principals on TAMU invita tion. i Factors in selection included high scholastic ranking and, through church, school and community ac tivities, evidence of non-academic interests and leadership ability, said Robert M. Logan, TAMU student aid director. “These students are exceptional - scholars and hetter-than-average leaders who are expected to develop into well-rounded adults through contributions to various extracur ricular interests,” Logan said. Among the 31 recipients are 10 women. The group represents all geographic areas of Texas. The committee also named alternates, to become President’s Scholars if awards are vacated. This year’s recipients are Edwin S. Acker, Tilden; Joseph P. Arisco, Groves; Jonathan W. Bennett, Lake Jackson; Johnny D. Bremsteller, Susan E. Lorimer, Bradley C. Wakeman and Valerie G.
