Although the human eye is still
e best method for locating tor-
does, most homes are equipped
a built-in tornado radar: the
ime television set.
If properly tuned, it is believed
itatelevision set will detect a twis-
within a 15-20 mile radius.
Known as the Weller Method, the
lenomenon is named for the Iowa
ientist (Newton Weller) who first
iveloped the procedure.
The method is not foolproof and
lerefore should not be the sole
lurce of information during bad
eather. The National Weather
irvice recommends that anyone
diolives in an area for which a “tor-
o watch” or ‘‘tornado warning”
been issued should keep an ear

Weather bulletins are based on in
formation from both radar and the
phalanx of trained spotters deployed
around a community whenever
dangerous weather threatens.
As a supplement to this kind of
protection, anyone can apply the
Weller Method by following a few
simple instructions:
First, warm up your television set
as if you were going to watch it. The
contrast control should be tuned to
the maximum position.
Turn to Channel 13 and adjust the
brightness control until the screen is
just on the threshold of black. Then
turn to Channel 2 without making
any new adjustments to the picture
settings. The audio (sound) settings
While the federal government is
lending more money, its expendi-
res have not been increasing
arly as fast as those on the state
id local levels.
That observation was made by Dr.
lillip M. Raup, professor of ag-
lultural economics at the Univer-
ly of Minnesota, at a presentation
the senior class of the Studies of
dvanced Real Estate Subjects
iOARS) sponsored by the Texas
Estate Research Center at
Has A&M University.
Dr. Raup said that while federal
jvernment spending increased 20
ercentfrom 1950 to 1975, the popu-
tion jumped 40 percent and the
ate and local government’s expen-
tures soared by 300 percent.
Attributing much of the increased
ate and local spending to the
owth of suburbs, Dr. Raup said the
jrsfacilife ile of regional governments will
g, fishinj, keon more importance in the fu-
We will see a reassessment of the
thewayti lie of state government,” he pre-
icted.
Only Japan has a smaller fraction
its gross national product flowing
irough the government,” said the
Imesota economist, “but ours is
icreasing.
A lot of second thoughts are
eing given the types of cities where
bulk of the nation’s population
lives,” he added. “Cities are too ex
pensive.”
Dr. Raup said big corporations are
leaving many cities because of the
“disease of over-growth. ” He added
that he expects to see a flowering
communications industry enable
corporations to run their nationwide
businesses from rural settings. He
said advanced communications
techniques will eliminate many of
the current reasons for corporate
headquarters locating in cities.
He told the SOARS class of 1976
that the latest recession experienced
by the United States was unlike
those of the past. One reason, he
said, was that the big portion of the
work force lived in areas where
layoffs did not occur, noting many of
them were in civil service.
“As service industries get bigger
and manufacturing industries
smaller, the impact of recession isn’t
felt as heavily,” he said.
Another factor lessening the shock
of recession was that a larger portion
of the population was getting some
form of welfare, he observed. He
also said a larger portion of the work
force is in areas where it is difficult to
measure productivity, thus the ef
fects of the recession were harder to
pinpoint in those areas.
SOARS classes continue through
May 28.
arleton joins TIAA
STEPHENVILLE — Tarleton
University officials cite eco-
omic sense and concern for giving
lore students a chance to partici-
itein athletics for their decision to
y conduct ^ the LSC and join the newly-
artingfrou ea t e d Texas Intercollegiate Ath-
:tic Association (TIAA).
They call the new league innova-
ve and bill it as the first organiza-
onofitskindin the Southwest to be
i-scholarship and fully coeduca-
onal.
The league now consists of Austin
lollege, Sherman; McMurry Col-
ige, Abilene; Sul Ross State Uni-
ersity, Alpine; Tarleton State Uni-
ersity, Stephenville; and Trinity
Jniversity, San Antonio.
Tarleton President W. O. Trog-
on termed the entrance of the uni-
ersity conference as a “change
hidi had to be made because of
conductd conoin * cs an< J to allow Tarleton to
“naintain a total athletic program.
“In the long run, the new confer-
ucewill generate more student en-
husiasm and will allow us to expand
ithletics where we could not have
ixpanded them with scholarships,”
Trogdon said. He cited possible In
ure conference competition in
wimming and handball with the
icmpletion of physical education
acilities now under construction on
he campus.
Presidents of the participating in-
ititutions termed TIAA “a practical
:onference which will bring eco-
lomic sense, academic sense, and
ifliletic sense to intercollegiate ath-
ehcs at our various schools.”

may be adjusted as desired. If Chan
nel 2 is not an operating channel in
your area, be sure to have a radio or
second television tuned in for
weather reports.
Monitor the screen as continously
as possible. Lightning will appear on
the screen as horizontal flashes or
streaks. On a color set the streaks
will be in color.
A tornado within a 15-20 mile
radius will cause the screen to glow
brightly or cause the darkened pic
ture to become visible and remain
continously visible.
Should this happen, it is impor
tant to take immediate safety precau
tions. Turn your television set off
and open windows a crack to reduce
the potential damage from pressure
if a tornado passes nearby.
Take cover in a safe place, prefer
ably near the center on the bottom
floor of the building. A closet or
small, windowless room offers best
protection.
If you have a transistor radio, take
it with you to the shelter area and
continue to monitor weather broad
casts .
During particularly bad storms,
when the electric power is off, the
transistor radio can be used to aug
ment the television warning system.
To do this, set the raidio alongside
the TV and turn the radio knob to the
lowest end of the dial (about 550
kilocycles).
At this setting the radio will pick
up storm signals, emitting intermit
tent static when lightning is near and
continous static when a tornado is
moving toward the signal.
Advance warning, from whatever
source, is of no use if it is ignored.
Anytime a tornado watch is issued
persons living in the watch area
should take precautions to protect
their lives and property.

teams in six sports for men and five
for women. Men’s competition will
include football, basketball, track
and field, golf and tennis.
Buddy Fornes, TSU athletic di
rector, noted that “ingrained in the
conference from the very beginning
will be a concern for equality for both
male and female athletes, long over
due in college sports.”
As to financial aid, the constitution
stipulated that scholarships which
are “conditioned upon students’ par
ticipation in intercollegiate athletic
s’’ will not be allowed.
An exception to this provision is
found in the charter’s “exempt
sport” clause, which allows each col
lege or university to award athletic
scholarships for one sport, excluding
football. In the exempt sport, how
ever, institutions will not be permit
ted to compete for a TIAA crown.
“It had to be done to save a total
athletic program in a small univer
sity,” Fornes said.
