Students were concerned over
sitters other than the bookstore’s
[tup, though.
“Just about everybody was aware

oye. She said the largest single
rchase she saw was about $125.
“Most freshmen spent an average

Many students agree that books

paid $110 for books this year,”
id Grant Holmes, a senior nuclear
igilieering student. “Three years
I would have paid no more than
for the same books. And I still
|n’t have one book I need, he
Ided.
Of course, there are feasible
ethods that would save when buy-
g hooks. Dr. Henry Ander, a
rmer statistics professor at A&M,
is suggested a system to reduce
uk costs.
‘When 1 was in graduate school,”
ider said, “each professor would
ganize his notes for the courses he
teaching. He would submit
lem to the university’s printing
Idlities, which would print them
lid make them available to students
at much less than the cost of
xtbooks.
Ander pointed out that this
ethod would do more than just
ve students money. It would en-
tudents to fully use the mate-
dsthey were required to purchase
(cause each set of notes would be
■signed for a certain professor’s
urse, he said.
“This way, he added, “the stu
nts could save money, and maybe
_e university could make a little

neering Experiment Station, to de
velop new protein supplements
from oilseed plants such as cotton,
peanuts, sunflower seeds, soybeans
and coconuts.
The primary goal of the project is
to introduce the use of oilseed
products as food additives or “non-
conventional food protein sources”,
stud Dr. Peter Wan, one of the prin
cipal researchers at Oilseeds.
The plants, primarily cottonseed
and sunflower seed, which contain
high quantities of oil, are hulled and
processed into flour, texturized
vegetable protein and protein iso
late. The isolate, which contains 90
per cent protein, is what remains
after the carbohydrates, fiber and
other excess materials have been ex
tracted from the flour.
All samples are then tested for
possible contamination by
pathogenic microorganisms. Every
thing is run according to Food and
Drug Administration regulations
and procedures.
After the products have been cer
tified safe for human consumption,
they are substituted for various in
gredients found in meat, grain and
dairy products.
The result?
By replacing 25 per cent of the
wheat flour used in baking cookies
with glandless cottonseed flour, the
protein content of the cookies is
doubled. The department also uses
texturized vegetable protein, made
from cottonseed flour, as a protein
supplement in some meat products
such as meatloaf, hamburger pat
ties, hot dogs and chili meat.
These products undergo tests by a
taste panel. The panel is asked to
compare the food containing oilseed
protein products with control prod
ucts that do not. They then evaluate
the taste, flavor, texture and color of
the test products.
On Aug. 25, Oilseeds conducted a
taste panel test in the Memorial
Student Center. Students were
asked to sample six different kinds of
chili meat. Actually, they were
sampling six types of “meat exten
ders made of cottonseed texturized
vegetable protein. They were asked
to rate the products separately, and
most responded favorably.
Six (weekend) ways
to keep from studying
As the homework stacks higher
and higher, you must think of more
and more excuses to keep from
doing it. Here we come again to the
rescue with six more ways to avoid
reading that boring Lit. story for
Monday’s 3 o’clock class.
★ The mad, fast world of wheels
is waiting for you at Pooh’s Park.
Jump into the seat of a go-cart and
dream your way into the Indy (j us t
don’t go outside the fence). Or, if
you like even smaller wheels, try
out the skating rink. It’s plenty big
to allow for the inexperienced roller
jock to land gracefully on his padded
side. It’s located on South Texas
Ave. just south of Hwy. 30.
* For those of us with perfect
taste in new homes (!) touring the
work of area builders on Sunday af
ternoon can be entertaining. Many
new subdivisions have open houses
on Sundays which provides good
opportunity to critique what’s on
the market.
★ For a true dining treat for Sun
day lunch, mosey on down to the
Brazos Belle, a reconstructed au
thentic saloon in Burton, with the
best down-home soul food you ever
tasted. Drive to Somerville, take a
left on Hwy. 36 and then a right at
Hwy. 390 to Burton.
★ Last semester’s undefeated
Texas A&M University polo club
will be challenged Saturday,
weather permitting, at 10 a. m. on
the polo field across the from the
golf course at Eastgate. The oppos
ing team will be made up of former
students who will try to defy old age
and upset the champions.
★ If you were lucky enough to get
tickets inside the stadium, you can
bring your binoculars and watch the
Ags fry the Jayhawks.
★ And then after the celebrating
and the bars close, head for Rudder
Theatre for the midnight special,
“The Longest Yard” brought to you
by Aggie Cinema.

Horse course offered j~
Across from A&M
By MARSHA MOULDER
Graduate course work geared to
benefit the horse industry is offered
at Texas A&M University.
A student can earn his M.S. de
gree or Ph.D. in Animal Science by
doing specialized work with horses.
There are three options open to the
student working towards his M.S.
The first is the degree with the
thesis option. This plan requires a
student to complete 32 hours of
course work, a research project,
plus a thesis. The research projects
are in the areas of nutrition; psy
chology, searching for better train
ing methods; exercise physiology,
striving for more complete physical
fitness in the horse; and reproduc
tion and management. The area of
exercise physiology is a unique re
search problem, according to Dr.
Gary D. Potter, Associate Professor
in Charge of Horses.
A Master of Agriculture degree
program is also offered for students
who are mainly interested in prepar
ing for work in a managerial position
for a farm, stable, stallion station, or
some other horse operation. To earn
this degree the student must com
plete 36 hours of course work, in
cluding academic work outside the
agriculture department, such as
financing. An internship consisting
of four months’ work on a horse op
eration is also required. The student
is critiqued by his employer.
The third option enables a stu
dent to receive an M.S. without
writing a thesis. This is a
generalized degree, including work
not only with horses, but with vari
ous other livestock as well.
Requirements for earning a
Ph.D. are such that the ability to
define problems and conduct re
search are essential. The student
must complete approximately 96
hours of course work above the
hours required for a B.S. degree.
The student working within this de-

gree plan must conduct an original
research project.
A&M is the only school in Texas
to offer such a horse research pro
gram. There are only about nine
schools in the nation with an active
program of this nature. However,
there are several schools that offer a
limited amount of study in this area.
Presently, there are 15 students at
A&M working towards an M.S. de
gree and five trying to fulfill the
Ph.D. requirements.
According to Dr. Potter, most of
the students involved in this pro
gram are interested in college teach
ing, continuing their research o:
doing extension work.
