Texas A&M receives
metal flaw detectors
Cohabitation
not so bad,
survey shows
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — If you are un
married and living with your lover,
chances are you have a stronger rela
tionship than if you tied the knot, a
new survey reports.
A love research survey of 568
couples concluded recently that
couples who live together rather
than marry get along better and
build stronger, more permanent re
lationships.
“Marriage is often for the in-laws,
the IRS, the mortgage bankers —
everybody but the couple,” said
Jonathan Young, a marriage coun
selor who headed the survey project.
“Cohabitants are more often hap
pier than married couples.”
The survey found that young
people tend to be less selfish and
more willing to contribute to their
lover s happiness.
"The younger respondents re
ported a greater willingness to do
favors for their partners, make sac
rifices and even suffer for the well
being of their lover,” Young said.
“The findings also showed that
married people and those living to
gether were more altruistic and
more willing to admit their feeling of
attachment,” he said, much more so
"than people who were in dating re
lationships.

Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. of
Houston has given ultrasonic flaw

University’s College of Engineering.
L.R. Birdwell, in charge of CBI s
southern area operations, made the
presentations.
The equipment was accepted by
Fred J. Benson, vice president for
engineering and non-renewable re
sources, and College of Engineering
officials. It includes a Sperry pulse-
echo-type unit and two Branson de
tectors. Their new value totals
$11,060.
“These ultrasonic detectors can be
used in a variety of teaching and re
search applications,” commented
Dr. Charles Rodenberger, engineer
ing assistant dean. Primarily for de
tecting flaws in metal beneath the
surface, the equipment also is capa
ble of analyzing laminates, among
other applications, he said.
The ultrasonic detectors were
presented for the Mechanical and
Engineering Technology Depart
ments metallurgy labs.
Birdwell is a 19.54 Texas A&M
