A computer program, researched
by a pair of Texas A&M University
engineering professors, helps design
and manage asphalt pavements for
the Texas Transportation Institute.
Drs. R. L. Lytton and W. F.
McFarland of TTI did work on the
program that considers such cost
elements as initial construction,
routine maintenance, periodic re
habilitation, interest on investment,
salvage value, and roadway user
cost.
“The program has been pilot
tested in three states and found to be
workable where suitable computer
facilities and personnel are avail
able,” said a Transportation Re
search Board report.
The newly released report is enti
tled “Flexible Pavement Design and
Management — Systems Approach
Implementation” which describes
an operational computer program
that provides a basis for selecting
pavement design for the lowest pre
dicted total cost over a period of
time.
An example of its use is making
“the choice between light pavement
with several overlays and thick
heavy pavements with virtually zero
rehabilitation,” the report goes on.
“Also, decisions can be updated.
Several runs of the program at vari
ous stages of the design, construc
tion and service of a road will allow
users to judge the effects of fluctuat-
Maine challenges Texas chickens
Lone Star egg producers are being
challenged to prove that everything
is bigger in Texas.
The state of Maine has thrown the
gauntlet squarely at the feet of Texas
eggmen, as the Central Maine Egg
Festival seeks to find the world’s
largest chicken egg. To be eligible,
eggs must have been produced by
the species Gallus domesticus (a
domestic chicken) on or after Aug. 1,
1975.
Any individual or egg association
in the world may enter a chicken egg
to be judged at the Central Maine
Egg Festival on July 31, said Dr.
William O. Cawley, poultry
specialist for the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
The winning entry will be gold
plated and mounted on a base featur
ing a plaque denoting all pertinent
information.
Eggs must be shipped uncooked,
contents intact and prepaid at the
entrant’s risk to the World’s Largest
Egg, Room 334, Hitchner Hall,
University of Maine, Orono, Maine
04473. Entries must arrive on or be
fore July 29.
CS liquor hours extended

expenditures if the hours were extended
because of the number of extra policemen
needed.
Mauk added, “I don’t think additional
drinking at these hours is consistent with
the ideals in an academic community.
In response to these arguments, Jerri
Ward, a student government representa
tive who is an ex-officio member of the
council, said she disagreed that present
services are adequate. She said most stu
dents do not get out to socialize until about
9 or 10 p.m.
Ward said she felt the additional revenue
generated by the city from liquor taxes
would offset any additional expenditures
needed for more police duty.
Ward added that she didn’t feel govern
ment should tell people how much and
when they can drink.
A motion not to change the present laws
was defeated with Councilmen Jim Dozier
and Anne Hazen voting for, Councilmen
Larry Ringer, Jim Gardner, and Gary Hal-
Seminar planned Abstract art
ter voting against and Councilman Lane
Stephenson abstaining. Mayor Bravenec
was not in attendance.
A motion by Gardner to change the
hours to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday died
for lack of a second.
The third motion to set the hours at 1
a.m. Saturday and Sunday passed with
Gardner, Halter and Ringer voting for,
Dozier and Hazen voting against and
Stephenson abstaining.
City Clerk Florence Neely said yester
day that she has already received one ap
plication for confirmation. After confirma
tion by the city, an application must be
submitted to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission for approval.
College Station City Manager North
Bardell said yesterday that he has not yet
met with Police Chief Marvin Byrd to de
termine if additional police will be on duty
through the one-hour period. He said he
does not expect to add any more policemen
for the period at this time since the stu
dents are on vacation.
ing prices and interest rates, scarcity
of materials, and revised mainte
nance and rehabilitation policy.”
Several long-range physical and
economic factors not normally con
sidered in pavement design are in
cluded in the analysis. They include
users’ costs due to traffic delay
around repair work, investment
costs to the highway agency, and sal
vage values of materials.
Predicted total costs, as deter
mined by the computer program,
are most sensitive to changes in the
following variables:
V Traffic delay costs when con
gestion occurs.
V Serviceability loss because of
environmental factors such as swel
ling clay, frost heave, and various
forms of cracking.
Soil support offered by the
subgrade.
V Material properties and unit
costs of the surface and the base
courses.
V Degree of reliability the de
signer requires of the performance of
the pavement.
“This report will be of particular
interest to administrators who must
make policy decisions concerning
use of the systems approach to
pavement design and management;
to pavement designers who will be
involved in its implementation; and
to materials, soils, maintenance, and
traffic engineers who provide the
input information for its operation,”
the report concluded.
WHAT IS
AMERICA’S
MOST IMPORTANT
INDUSTRY ?
Estate planning seminars will be
conducted by Texas A&M Univer
sity’s Development Office in Hous
ton and Dallas this summer and loc
ally in the fall.
Robert M. Rutledge III, Texas
A&M’s assistant development direc
tor, said the seminars will include
detailed information about proper
estate planning and management, as
well as discussions of various aspects
of Texas probate-law and federal-
estate tax law.
The Houston seminar is
scheduled June 28 and the Dallas
session July 9.
Date for the Bryan-College Sta
tion session has not been deter
mined, but Rutledge said the local
session will not be held until after
the start of the fall semester to insure
the University’s faculty and staff
have the opportunity to attend.
While primarily intended for
former students, faculty, staff and
friends of the University, the ses
sions will be open to the general pub
lic, Rutledge said.
“During a time when we see infla
tion materially distorting the value of
our estates and increasing the
amount of federal estate and state
inheritance taxes payable upon our
deaths, each of us needs to be
acutely aware of the importance of
proper estate planning, ’ Rutledge
pointed out. “It is unlikely that a
person will achieve his desires for
the disposition of his estate without
careful planning and management.’
He said the latest statistics re
leased by the Internal Revenue Ser
vice show a 31 per cent increase over
a three-year period in the number of
deaths that required filing of federal
estate tax returns and a 38 per cent
increase in the estate taxes levied.
Such taxes totaled more than $4 bil
lion in 1972.

Abstract paintings and sculpture
by Joel Stephen Crain are on exhibi
tion in the Gallery of the Texas A&M
Memorial Student Center.
The Crain works will be on view
through May 29.
The six canvas and six cast
aluminum sculptures in the Craiii
collection were px oduced as symbols
of the self. The artist says he is con
cerned with the process of individua
tion as developed by the Swiss psy
chologist Carl Jung. Individuation is
an effort to achieve psychic matura
tion by consciously accepting im
pulses which come from the self.
Such impulses may be found in
dream symbolism.
Crain’s paintings on display in
clude a six-by-six foot acrylic canvas,
“Earth Altar.’ His sculptures, also
concerned with individuation, ex
press the idea of the self in its infinite
variety. Sculptures range from 12 to
16 inches in height.
A 28-year-old artist formerly of
Lynn, Mass., Crain teaches draw
ings in Nacogdoches and is pursuing
a master of fine arts degree at
Stephen F. Austin University. He is
a 1970 Lamar University graduate.
Crain’s work has shown exten
sively in Texas and Louisiana. He
had shows at the Contemporary
Museum of Art and the Houston As
sistance League Competition. Cur
rent work is shown at Lord’s Gallery
in Houston and the University
Frame Shop in Bryan.
