DC.'i courses get professional
ewpoints on their work this week.
[Engineers from 23 companies in
cities will consult student teams
ill EDO 105 and 106 on semester-
lijng product development projects,
■icy will give general guidance,
traluate preliminary ideas and
Besent parallel examples from
Bmpany operations.
■ The cooperative program occurs
through the department s Visiting
Engineers Program (VEP).
Dr. James Earle, department
head, said VEP provides freshman
engineering students with a better
understanding of engineering and
its application.
Student teams during the semes
ter will complete development
projects such as a garbage compac
tor, gate opener, overhead projector
adapter, pole vault pit or other
team-proposed problems.
These projects are due the week
of April 24-29, when visiting engi
neers return to hear team reports
and evaluate solutions.
“It’s a highly valuable experience
for the freshman,” Earle said. The
program provides a broad view of an
engineering approach to problem
solving and design methods. The
student also learns first hand how
engineers communicate in oral,
graphic and written form.
In its 12th year, the VEP also
benefits the Engineering Design
Graphics Department. The visiting
engineers serve as a quasi-advisory
committee, leading to instructional
improvement and course content
development. They are encouraged
to suggest changes in course mate
rials that would improve de
partmental offerings, Earle said.
Started in 1966-67, the program
has had 730 professional participants.
The 28 engineers this semester will
interact with 1,279 students.

■ Interested in researching golf in
‘lie 1968 edition of the
B ncyclopedia Britannia at the Uni-
rsity Library? There might be a
■roblem. One page and part of
rjr-j-Jiother are gone from that section.
r «/ You won’t find any university in
Bie country that doesn’t have a
jioblem with mutilation,’’ says Dr.
jene Hoadley, director of libraries
J Texas A&M University.
In 1976-77, the library spent ap-
oxiniately $150 replacing 1,367
ges found missing in books and
■liodicals.
Melvin Dodd, head of interli-
ary services, says that figure
doesn’t include man-hour costs in
volved with ordering photocopies of
the pages from other university lib
raries or in putting them back into
books and magazines.
Nor does it include the missing
pages that were not discovered. “If
somebody goes to get something
and finds it missing and doesn’t tell
us about it then we won’t know it’s
missing, Dodd says. “The coopera
tion of people who find things gone
is necessary for us to maintain our
collection.” j
Mutilation is a greater problem
for the library than loss of books
through theft, said Hoadley. She at
tributes most of the damage to stu
dents, but she also feels that some
faculty and staff members also are
responsible.
Why would a person want to
mutilate a book or magazine? A
combination of factors are involved
including competition among stu
dents, Hoadley said. For example, a
student who wants to have the best
paper in his class might try to keep
materials from being used by
others. Or a person in a hurry to get
information may take a page rathe r
than photocopy it.
Mutilators are “almost never”
caught because there are too many
“nooks and cranny” places in the li
brary where a person can hide,
Hoadley said.

Cov. Dolph Briscoe said Monday
e state’s water and waste water
perators carry an outstanding per-
irmance record into new chal-
nges posed by Texas’ economic
owth.
“In the last five years, Texas has
quired 1,200 new industries,”
iscoe said at Texas A&M Univer-
"This has meant an economic
impact of $11 billion a year and
50,000 new jobs.
“Texas economy is the strongest
of any,” Briscoe said, “with the best
climate to encourage further in
vestment.
“But we must also recognize that
a key part of this is to provide an
adequate supply of top quality
drinking water and adequate treat
ment of waste water,” Briscoe in
formed more than 700 participants
in the 60th Texas Water Utilities As
sociation Short School.

If a person is caught mutilating a
book or magazine his name is sent to
the vice president for student af
fairs.
Ron Blatchley, associate director
of student affairs, said the minimum
punishment for mutilation would be
probation, but it could include dis
missal or expulsipn.
Despite the risk of mutilation,
Hoadley is not in favor of a closed
stack arrangement. She says the
chance to freely pick up and read
through old magazines and books is
part of a “learning experience” stu
dents should not lose.
“You’d be surprised at some of
the same kinds of things taken from
libraries all over the country. A few
years ago, Hoadley said, mutilators
made a run on Winslow Homer
woodcuts.
The presence of copy machines
helps to reduce the problem, but
Hoadley thinks students could help
reduce it even more by policing
themselves. Peer pressure is the
best deterrent of all, she said.
