Took time while lecturing in Indonesia
Crawford was A&M mission
Dr. Paul B. Crawford took time to
be a missionary for Texas A&M Uni
versity while lecturing in Indonesia.
Dr. Crawford is professor of petro
leum engineering and assistant di
rector of the Texas Petroleum Re
search Committee at Texas A&M.
He was invited to make a series of
appearances to Indonesian univer
sity students, engineers and execu
tives.
His itinerary included the In
donesian Oil and Gas Academy in
Cepu, the University of Gadjah
Mada in Jogyakarta, the Technical
Institute of Bandung, and two meet
ings of the Indonesian Petroleum
Association in Kalimantan (old Bor
neo) and Jakarta and wound up by
addressing the Tokyo Section of the
Society of Petroleum Engineers.
His subjects ranged from the
“Frontiers of Science” to “Enhanced
Oil Recovery” but always managed
to spend considerable time on the
scope of research at Texas A&M.
His slide show extolled the virtues
of the College of Veterinary
Medicine, food protein research, the
experiment stations and extension
services, the Texas Transportation
Institute, the Industrial Economics
Research Division and general cam
pus life here.
“I emphasized that from the time a
child is born until his life is over,
A&M has programs to help a per
son,” he said. “Also I spent a lot of
time discussing the home demon
stration and county agent programs.
since much of Indonesia is agrarian.
“We toured the botanical gardens
of Bogor, considered the finest in the
world with my host Sediardjo At-
mosipurwo who is a former A&M
student, now division head of
Lemigas-Oil and Gas Co.,” Craw
ford said.
Crawford’s surprises included a
birthday cake from the graduating
class of the Oil and Gas Academy of
Cepu and presentation of the seal of
the University of Gadjah Mada.
“We toured the Boxobadur tem
ple built by the Buddists 1,200 years
ago,” he said. “It is as tall as the
Rudder Tower and until 50 or 60
years ago was completely covered
with dirt and debris.”
His trip was somewhat delayed
when an electrical storm started a

AUSTIN — A threefold increase
in the U.S. alligator population since

alligators in the coastal portions of
Texas would be classified as

“Texas alligator numbers in
