Chances for an auto fuel supply
for centuries will be enhanced if an
experiment by two TAMU resear
chers pays off.
Drs. R. R. Davison and W. B.
Harris, a pair of chemical engineers,
are outfitting a Datsun pickup to run
on wood alcohol (methanol).
What makes this significant is the
fact that methanol can be produced
from coal, garbage, plant cellulose,
oil shale, or any carbon source.
In addition, it burns cleaner, is
less polluting and is without lead
and sulphur that hurt engine per
formance. It also provides the same
horsepower gas with much less en
gine wear.
“We’re designing the engine to
use methanol as partial or complete
substitute for gasoline,” Davison
said. “We intend to get enough on
the road testing to evaluate the
maintenance, convenience, endur
ance and general driveability of the
modified system.
The researchers say they believe
it will help alleviate the U. S.
foreign dependency on oil. After
1985 methanol from coal can begin
to plug the gap between gasoline
demand and domestic oil produc
tion, they predict. Methanol will
likely be judged a superior motor
fuel in all respects except mileage in
autos designed to take advantage of
its characteristics.
“Furthermore, methanol is now
being made from natural gas for a
cost per BTU that is nearly competi
tive with premium gasoline and
probably soon with regular,” Davi
son said. “Coal and methanol could
replace oil and gas as the backbone
of both the fuel and chemical indus
try.
“The U. S. is coal rich,” said Har
ris. “There is enough for hundreds
of years. Proven minable reserves
consist of200 billion tons of coal and
lignite, while current production is
600 million tons per year.”
This year three major surface
mining operations in Texas are ex
pected to yeild nine million tons of
coal. Production is expected to tri
ple within 6-8 years with several
electric power companies begin
ning plants using coal-fired boilers.
If all electric generating plants in
Texas were converted to lignite-fuel
boilers the estimated 20 billion tons
of near surface resources in the state
would supply all of Texas’ current
electricity needs for three cen
turies.
The deep basin resources are in
excess of 100 billion tons. With the
energy equivalent of just over 214
barrels of crude oil per ton of lignite,
the state’s resources are 20 times
the proven crude reserves in Texas
and 16 times the proven natural gas
reserves.

Texas A&M has developed three
programs to bridge the gaps bet
ween the theoretical engineer and
the nuts-and-bolts craftsman.
“We offer three different prog

requires the application of scientific
and engineering knowledge and
methods combined with technical
skills to support them,” said Dr.
Everett R. Glazener, head of the
Senate bill is
to limit term
of FBI director
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Se
nate passed a bill Monday to limit
the director of the FBI to a single,
10-year term. The vote was 70 to 0.
The measure is intended both to
protect the FBI director from
undue pressures by his superiors
and to prevent him from becoming
too independent or autocratic.
Under present law, there is no
limit on how long the director may
serve. The late J. Edgar Hoover
served as FBI director from 1924
until his death in 1972.
Department of Engineering Tech
nology.
Engineering Technology offers
specialities in many areas including
Biomedical Engineering Technol
ogy, civil engineering fields, com
puters, electronics, design graphics
and technical shop skills.
Coordinator of the E. T. degree is
Dr. Daryle Morgan.
Industrial Distribution is aimed
at preparing students for positions
in sales, sales management and
mid-management with wholesale
distributors. Such work requires
familiarity with the tools, materials
and processes of industry as well as
sales technique. Program coor
dinator is Dr. Don Rice.
Training in coordination of indus
trial functions is provided by Indus
trial Technology. Coordinator Dr.
Clint Bertrand said that in such a
field the technologist “needs to be
familiar with management proce
dures, production techniques, bus
iness principles and labor rela
tions.”
More information on the prog
rams is available from the Engineer
ing Technology Department. /
