Even Miss Muffet would have a
tough time putting away the 30 bill
ion pounds of whey left over from
dairy production in the U.S. every
year.
At a three-day workshop on food
engineering at Texas A&M Univer
sity, Marshall Dick of the Environ
mental Protection Agency said that

Szabuniewicz
familiar at A&M
The retirement of Dr. Michael
Szabuniewicz Aug. 31 won’t mark
the end of the family name at Texas
A&M University’s College of Vet
erinary Medicine.
His son, 24-year-old Dr. Jean-
Miehel Szabuniewicz, joined the
veterinary anatomy faculty last
week as an instructor.
The elder Szabuniewicz is retir
ing after 13 years here in physiology
and pharmacology, but “retire” will
only be a word. By September he
will be in Iran on a two-year visiting
professorship and consultant basis
at Pahlavi University at Shiraz.
In all, his career has spanned 40
years, two wars and three conti
nents.
Jean-Michel is a 1973 DVM
graduate of Texas A&M, but also
holds bachelor degrees in chemistry
and veterinary science. In addition,
he is near completion on his juris
prudence degree at Texas Tech
University in Lubbock.
The legal aspect of the
veterinarian’s career is seldom
thought about, he notes, although
Students return
raise tempo
of campus life
Texas A&M University’s streets
and walks took on a more pedestrian
appearance this week.
The rise in activity continues
until Monday registration and
Tuesday start of first summer ses
sion classes.
Spring semester classes ended
May 9. Most students departed
after final exams May 12-16, leaving
the campus mostly deserted last
week.
New student conferences started
Monday, giving TAMU a more
class-like air. Preparations for
summer classes will raise the tempo
further this week.
Though Monday registration is
the first official activity for summer
students, they will begin reappear
ing before the week is over. The
influx is usually led by married stu
dents.
Registrar Robert Lacey said
Monday registration will start at 7
a.m. and goes through 12 noon. It
will be conducted at Duncan Hall.

the practitioner is constantly in
volved in areas where problems
could arise such as contracts, re
leases and malpractice suits.
TAMU has become a tradition for
the Szabuniewicz family since
reaching America in 1960. Charles
Henry, Jean-Michel’s brother, is a
1974 BBA graduate.
Their 65-year-old father
graduated from the Veterinary
Medicine Academy in Lvov, Poland
in 1934 and joined the Regiment
Cavalry of Poland. He was taken
prisoner by the Germans in 1939
and placed in a POW camp for the
remainder of World War II.
After liberation, he was taken to
Great Britain and at the time de
cided he could not return to his
homeland because of the political
climate. He chose to take the posi
tion of director of the Experimental
Husbandry Farm Kasese at Katanga
in the Belgian Congo.
In 1950, he assumed top post at
the Diagnostic Laboratory and Ex
tension service in Jadotville,
Katanga, where Jean-Michel was
born.
When civil war erupted in the
Congo in 1960, the Szabuniewicz
family moved to America where he
first worked with the US DA in Ten
nessee and joined the TAMU fa
culty in 1962.
for possible use as a supplement in
animal diets. It is also being consi
dered as a starter material in the
production of wine.
Dick related a number of re
search projects that the EPA is in
volved in trying to utilize more of
the portions or byproducts of the
food and beverage industry that
now fall by the wayside.
The cane from sugar harvest may
have use in power generation. Rice
hulls or other grain leavings from
brewing might prove useful in
synthesizing heating oil or animal
feed. Fruit, including citric, can be
turned into a sludge to use as poul
try or animal feed supplements.
Procedures are being perfected
House debate
yields $11.9
billion budget
The Texas House of Representa
tives has finished debate on the
General Appropriations Bill, result
ing in an $11.9 billion budget for the
next biennium.
Three days of debate on the
spending bill resulted in a $3.8 mill
ion cut in funds from the Appropria
tions Committee recommenda
tions.
“The major portion of the $3.8
million cut came in salaries for state
employees in supervisory positions
and salaries for county school
superintendents,” said Appropria
tions Committee chairman Bill Pre-
snal.
A last minute amendment was
added which will require professors
and assistant professors to teach a 12
hour course load each semester.
The floor debate on the budget
lasted only three days, compared to
ten days the previous session.
to bone smaller fish normally
thrown back in order to use the
meat for fish sticks or “fishburgers,”
Dick said.
One of the top research projects,
and one of the few so far to deal with
recycling food for humans, is con
cerned with taking tomato peels and
cores left over from processing and
turning them into tomato catsup
and paste.
Dick said the EPA hopes to get
into more research concerning the
reuse of human food wastes for
human food production.
Another project on the burner is
taking cull potatoes and producing a
starch meal from them.
The EPA will have to take into
account seasonability of many of the
waste products and the economics
involved in storing, preserving and
hauling such waste to central dis
posal or recycling plants.
