Dr. Zerle L. Carpenter, new
head of the Texas A&M University
Animal Science Department, says
he believes continued im
provements in animal agriculture
are needed to match the sophistica
tion of the business world.
As an example. Carpenter said
that the research being done on
meats by the Texas A&M Experi
ment Station has improved the pro-
AlexanJi, duction and eating quality of meats,
disturbej Because of production im-
,wn int(it) jrovements and economic changes,
j Consin the United States has been taken
d rarniersi rut of simple domestic production
shareolts nto worldwide competition, Car
penter said.
Carpenter, 43, is a professor who
eaches a meat science course and
wo graduate courses in meats and
nuscle biology. He was appointed
o the position Dec, 16, 1978 by
)ean H.O. Kunkel of agriculture,
Vice President J.M. Prescott for
academic affairs, and Vice President
Perry L. Adkisson for agriculture
and renewable resources.
“Plans for the future of the
animal science department are being
carefully developed,” Carpenter
said. “There is a need for a large
animal facility that will need to be
talked about for future funding.”
He said he likes the system of
education used by the animal sci
ence department, particularly the
opportunities students are given to
work with animals.
“Considering one-third of the
1,200 students in animal science will
not have a farm or ranch back
ground, it is up to us to supply the
experience many of them never
had.
“There are experiments in
laboratories, 50 to 100 students em
ployed in research fields, and great
opportunities to do a semester s
worth of work for credit in agricul-

Corkey Sandel, formerly international student adviser for Texas
A&M University, is now the foreign student adviser for the Texas
Engineering Extension Service, and Mona Rizk-Finne has taken his
former job.
Sandel will counsel foreign students involved in the newly formed
International Training Division of the TEES.
The TEES contracted with the Saudi Arabian government to con
duct a two-year traffic safety program. The program will start with 50
Arab students April 1.
“I’ll be dealing with fewer students than I did before,” Sandel
said. "Also, I’ll just be dealing with Arabs, so it will give me an
opportunity to know them even better.”
Bonnie Wilkinson, information representative for TEES, said Ara-
j Vian students are in Chicago now, going through an intensive orienta
tion program. She said Sandel will concentrate on helping them ad-
| just when they get here.
Sandel said his 5 Ms years with international students at Texas A&M
| was a rewarding experience.
"I never had an opportunity to travel abroad,” Sandel said. “But,
! because of my contact with the students, I was able to travel through
[them. I learned about their culture, religions, foods and their lives. It
1 was a fantastic experience. I loved it.”
As international student adviser, Sandel was sponsor of the Inter-
j national Students Association.
ISA vice president Colin Crombie said, “He was always enthusias
tic to help students in whatever way he could. He didn’t have that
[much say in what our club did or during our meetings, but was
(available with suggestions.”
j Rizk-Finne, the new international student adviser, was originally
[f)ired as an assistant to Sandel, and filled his position when Sandel left
|]an. 15.
Rizk-Finne said she worked in the international student office of
the University of Washington in Seattle for three years before coming
to College Station in September of 1977.
| The ISA has planned a reception at 7 p.m. Monday in the Memo-
jrial Student Center (the room number will be on the MSC screen
jtoday) for the internationals to get acquainted with Rizk-Finne.
“I want the students to know that I’m here and that I want to help
jjthem,” she said. “I’d like to get some student input and organize
[some committees.
“We’d like for more Americans to be involved with the interna-
[tional students so there can be an exchange of culture. We encourage
Americans to come to the meetings to make friends.”

LAKEWOOD, Colo. — At the
age of 91, Paralee Dudgeon is de
termined to make the most of the
time she has left.
She celebrated her 91st birthday
Saturday by taking a helicopter ride.
T think my stint’s about run out.
I don’t suppose I can do this thing
much longer, so I’m doing it now,”
Dudgeon said before she donned a
radio headset and took off.
During the half hour flight from
the Jefferson County Airport, Dud
geon gazed out of the bubble win-

dow at the metropolitan area below.
The flight was a gift from her
grand-niece and her husband.
I wasn t a bit afraid. It enjoyed it
a lot and the pilot was very careful,”
she said at the trip’s end. Last year.
Dudgeon celebrated the occasion
with a motorcycle ride.
As for her 92nd birthday, Dud
geon said she was thinking about a
balloon ride.
The trouble with a lot of people
is that they just shut themselves off
to everything when they get old. I’d
go nuts if I did that,” she said

ture,” he said.
“This better training of students
could be one reason for more job
opportunites,” Carpenter said. “I a
more optimistic about job oppor
tunities than I have ever been, since
job calls have increased dramatically
this since last spring.”
Carpenter has been associated
with Texas A&M for 17 years. Some
of his research includes the study of
meats and muscle composition.
Carpenter, a native of Oklahoma,
received his bachelor’s degree in
Animal Science at Oklahoma State
University and his master’s in meat
and animal science and biochemis
try at the University of Wisconsin.
After finishing his doctorate at the
University of Wisconsin in 1962 he
came to Texas A&M.
Carpenter and his wife have two
children and live in Bryan.
Carpenter said the most special
experience he has had in his career
was receiving the Faculty Distin
guished Achievement Award in
Teaching from the Former Students
Association of Texas A&M in 1970.
He said, “ It is a privilege to work
with committed students that in
turn motivate and inspire me in my
work.”
