[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. IBook mutilators risk dismissal United Press International LOS ANGELES — President Carter tops the list of this year’s TO Best Casually Dressed Men because he gives men confidence in comfortable clothes that are in good taste, said a California fash ion group. Singer Harry Belafonte also is listed because he was a pioneer in casual dress and “early in his career he eschewed the tuxedo Now You Know United Press International There are 600 different kinds of barbed wire. for slacks and an open-necked shirt in his performances, ’ ac cording to California Mart, a Los Angeles clothing concern, which released the list Saturday.

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. ater operators praised sified 11 Cov.

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.
