‘Mad scientists’ not only folks in research
By DIANA TOTAH
Battalion Staff Writer
Several Texas A&M University
political science professors are prov
ing that research is not limited to
mad scientists.
Dr. Paul P. Van Riper, head of the
political science department, said
that while no major research project
is being sponsored, many individual
faculty members have their own in
dividual research programs.
“Our research effort has expanded
rapidly over the last three to four
years,” Van Riper said. “Half of it
consists of complex collaboration
while the other half of it is work done
by individuals.”
Van Riper is finishing a piece for
the bicentennial which he collabo
rated on with the late Dr. Keith
Sutherland of the History depart
ment. It is a document on the Fed
eral Civil Service in the years 1776,
1876 and 1976.
An example of individual research
is the work done by Dr. James. L.
Payne, who has completed a book
entitled “Principles of Social Science
Measurement. ”
“It is aimed at all the social sci
ences — sociology, psychology,
education, and political science,”
Payne said. The book is an attempt to
add common sense to problems
which often seem too complex and
are often misunderstood.
Payne is planning to write another
book: “Pitfalls of Social Science Re
search.” It is a collection of articles
by other people that deals with
specific errors in research.
Payne said, “I think there is an
unfortunate error to turn one’s back
on one’s past errors. There is no de
sire to remind oneself and therefore
one makes the same errors.”
Payne has formed his own publish
ing company — Lytton Company —
and is the author of four other books:
“Labor and Politics in Peru,” 1965;
“Patterns of Foreign Policy,” 1970;
“Incentive Theory and Political Pro
cess,” 1973; and “Foundations of
Empirical Political Analysis,” 1973.
Payne said he enjoys his work.
“People are so resistant to new ideas
that if you have a goal for some kind
of public acceptance, you’ll be dis
appointed,” he said. “It’s necessary
to be happy with the work itself.”
Dr. Gary M. Halter, along with
Ruth and Albert Schaffer of the
Sociology Department, is collaborat
ing on a special study while under
the specifications of a contract.
Halter is assessing the impact of
the McClehan-Kerr navigation sys
tem organized by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers. The sys
tem runs the length of the Arkansas
River to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Halter said, “We re looking at the
relationship between the commun
ity leaders and the response to en
courage economic development of
the waterway and the use of it.
“We want to know what impact
the waterway has had on the com
munity. For example, the depen
dence on city services such as sew
age, water, industrial growth and
schools. ”
Halter said that he has been ab
sent from classes a total of six weeks
since December. But he said he
didn’t feel classes had unduly suf
fered in his absence.
A third type of research is
exemplified by Dr. Ralph S. Ham-
brick. Hambrick organized an
applied urban policy research prog
ram for the Garland Urban Obser
vatory. It is part of a national prog
ram for which Hambrick is the uni
versity coordinator.
Hambrick said, “I did most of the
work on a proposal based on Housing
and Urban Development, (HUD),
through the National League of
Cities.”

HOUSTON — President Ford’s
national campaign director says the
President will defeat former Califor
nia Gov. Ronald Reagan in the May 1
Texas Republican primary but it will
be a “very close proposition.”
“We think we can get a majority of
delegates,” Rogers C. B. Morton
said at a news conference Thursday.
Morton said he feels that currently
undecided voters will decide the
outcome in Texas.

He said Democrats and indepen

nominee in November should vote
in the Texas Republican primary and
back Ford because Ford will make
the strongest national candidate.
