CS seeks cheap power
By GARY LOVAN
Siege Station can save approxi-
Jy $3,000 a day by purchasing
pgawatts of electricity from Gulf
Power, said Jim Dozier, Col-
Station city councilman,
city has a contract with Gidf
; which provides for the sale of
legawatts of electricity to Col-
Station beginning this summer,
d.
: city of Bryan is trying to stop
ale of the electricity by filing a
jjlaint against College Station
|Gulf States with the Public
feies Commission,
pzier said that College Station
to gradually phase out Bryan
Utilities so that when the Bryan con
tract expires in 1979, the city can
make transition to Gulf States
smoothly.
Bryan contends in the complaint
that Gulf States doesn’t have the au
thority to sell electricity to College
Station because Gulf States hasn’t
filed a certificate of convenience and
necessity with the Public Utilities
Commission.
Dozier said there was some doubt
as to whether or not Gulf States has
to file such a certificate. He said that
was something the commission must
decide.
Gulf States offers some other ad
vantages over Bryan Utilities,
Dozier said.
“Gulf States has the capacity to
furnish us with whatever volume of
electricity we request. They have
the most adequate supply at the
cheapest price. They also gave us a
20-year contract.”
Dozier said the first thing the
commission will probably do is de
cide whether they have the authority
to make a ruling on the case. He said
there is some doubt as to whether
the sale of electricity by one city to
another falls under the jurisdiction of
the commission.
If the commission decides it
doesn’t have the authority, Dozier
said the case will probably be taken
to court.
If the commission does make a rul
ing, two courses of action would be
available to the city decided against,
he said.
“That city can appeal the decision
or they can go to court over the in
terpretation of the contract,” he
said.
Dozier said the commission
doesn’t have the authority to rule on
the interpretation of the contract.
He said only the courts could do
that.
He said he didn’t know how a de
cision against College Station would
affect the city’s contract with Gulf
States.

edible animal blood. The other
cottonseed flour to make a pro-
fhis leaves blood plasma pro
teins which are desalted, pas
teurized to get rid of pathogens and
spray-dried. The final product is a
white, powdery protein concentrate
that has no bloody odor or taste,”
Dill said.
He said the protein concentrate
could be added to bread in place of
about 10 per cent of the flour used.
This would produce a bread with
enough proteins to satisfy human
needs.
“Since bread is eaten all over the
world, it would be easier to give
people more protein without mak
ing them accept a new food. The
United Nations has shown over and
over again that people won’t eat
what they’re not used to eating,”
Dill said.
“Because of its binding quality,
the concentrate also makes it possi
ble to add more soy protein to
ground meats. The concentrate
keeps the mixture from becoming
too crumbly and may make it possi
ble to add up to 50 or 60 per cent
soy to the meat.”
The cottonseed flour project is
under the direction ofj. T. Lawhon,
associate research engineer.
Used are cotton seeds from a va
riety that does not contain gossypol,
a pigment that is toxic to humans
and other one-stomach animals.
This variety of cotton was first
produced through cross-breeding at
Texas A&M, and the seed, which
has a nutty flavor, is called a
Tamunut.
Tamunuts are about the size of
shelled sunflower seeds and can be
eaten as a salted snack or used
whole in bakery goods.

Your deposits to an Individual Retirement Account will
be 100% deductible from your 1976 income tax.
If you are not now covered by a pension or retirement
plan (even if you may someday qualify for such a
company benefit) you can build a tax-sheltered sav
ings account today with BB&L. Every dollar you de
posit this year—up to $1,500 (or 15% of your annual
income, whichever is less) is deductible from your
1976 income tax.
Earnings on your tax-sheltered account are also free
from tax — until you retire. (And since earning power
normally drops off after retirement, you may pay
taxes on the earnings at a considerably lower rate
than now).
It only takes a few minutes to open an Individual
Retirement Account and there is no charge for estab
lishing this special savings account.
Find out if you can qualify for BB&L tax-sheltered
savings. There’s no obligation — but you need to act
now to get the maximum tax advantage for 1976.
See a savings officer for details.

Lawhon’s research involves using
flour made from defatted Tamunuts
to make a protein-rich product
called an isolate. Isolates are 90 per
cent protein.
“The new process we re develop
ing to get this isolate is called ul
trafiltration,” Lawhon said.
“In the first stage, proteins are
removed from defatted Tamunut
flour. Then the carbohydrates and
salts are removed from the whey left
after the protein is removed.
“The protein isolate is used for
human consumption and the carbo
hydrates and salts are used for ani
mal feed.
“The final effluent of the process
is pure water, which can be recycled
for use in the first stage.”
Lawhon said this process is more
efficient than current methods be
cause it is cheaper and it does not
leave the whey, as the final effluent.
Whey is high in nitrogen and is con
sidered an environmal pollutant.
Class of ’77 joins
Former Students
Members of Texas A&M’s Class
of 1977 became official former stu
dents during inductions held
Monday and Tuesday nights.
Dr. Jack Knox, Association of
Former Students president,
formally welcomed the first graduat
ing class of Texas A&M’s second cen
tury.
“You are joining an association
that has been in existence since
1880,” Knox said. “It exists only to
benefit Texas A&M. It is an associa
tion bound together by Aggie
Spirit.”
