HOUSTON — Officials at
Anheuser-Busch hope that by using
vaste from beer production as fer
tilizer Houston’s sewage load may
be cut, the environment may be
Improved and farmers may save
some money.
All are potential results of a pilot
irogram in operation since
November at the company’s Hous
ton brewery.
About one-third of the brewery’s
|00,000 gallon a week liquid waste
emission is being trucked eight
niles east of the plant to three one-
ficre plots of pastureland.
There the nitrogen-rich waste —
vasbwater and low-grade squeez-
Lgs left from salvage of the grains
nised to make beer — is dumped
Into a storage pond from which a
(sprinkler system sprays it onto the
iields.
&M offers
Eventually, assuming successful
testing, all of the company’s liquid
waste will be diverted to fertiliza
tion — reducing the burden on
Houston’s overloaded Northside
Treatment Plant, the biggest single
polluter of the Houston Ship Chan
nel.
“The pilot program is operating
very well, said Larry Keith, super
visor of environmental engineering
control at Busch’s St. Louis head
quarters. “It is both ecological and
economic. At the same time we re
using this material as a (soil) nutri
ent, we will be taking load away
from the treatment plant.
While testing the feasibility of ex
panding the 26,000 gallon a week
pilot program, the company also is
studying the best application of the
effluent to Houston area soil. Appli
cation varies regionally.
Each of the plots is receiving a
different dose of the nutrient so that
the impact on plant growth can be
compared.
Keith said the pilot program
should end next month and the
company will approach state au
thorities for a full-scale go-ahead. If
the okay is granted, a new cheaper
kind of fertilizer may become avail
able in Harris County.
The Houston project is not
Busch’s first and may not be the last.
Similar systems have operated for
several months in Virginia and
California, where one farmer re
ported a 20 percent production gain
and lower fertilizer costs.
The three-week Executive
Development Course began its
first full day of operations yester
day at Texas A&M University.
On Feb. 10 when certificates
are awarded, about 50 middle
level executives will have under
gone intensive training designed
to sharpen their decision-making
skills.
This is the 26th annual course,
said a spokesman for the Execu
tive Developement Programs Of
fice of the College of Business
Administration.
Computer simulation, large
and small group discussion, and
case studies are employed in the
program by a faculty consisting of
academic and business world au
thorities.

EARN OVER $600 A MONTH FOR
THE RESTOF YOUR SENIOR YEAR
If you are interested in engineering, math or physics, the NAVY has a program you should
know about.
It’s called the NUPOC—Collegiate Program (NUPOC is short for Nuclear Propulsion
Officer Candidate), and if you can qualify it can pay you as much as $611 a month for the
remainder of your senior year. Then after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you will
receive an additional year of advanced technical training. An education that would cost
thousands in a civilian school but in the NAVY, we pay you! In fact, when you complete the
year of advanced training we will give you a $3,000 cash bonus.
It isn’t easy. Only one of every six applicants will be selected, and there are fewer than
300 openings. But those who make it find themselves in one of the most elite engineering
training programs anywhere. With unequalled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000 salary in
four years plus travel medical benefits and education opportunities.
For more details on this program, ask your placement officer when a Navy representa
tive will be on campus, or call the Officer Programs Office listed below; or send your resu
me to Navy Nuclear Office Program, Code 40A, 1121 Walker Street, Houston, Texas 77002.
The NUPOC—Collegiate Program. It can do more than help you finish college; it can lead
to an exciting opportunity.
