i $ -local Around town U-LJ-LI nZJ rrnz i i a rf College of Engineering wins The College of Engineering at Texas A&M University has been selected to receive the National Society of Profes sional Engineers’ 1983 Education Professional Development Award. The award will be presented in January during the socie ty’s winter meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Texas A&M College of Engineering, the largest in the world with slightly less than 12,000 students, was selected on the basis of its “professional career development and employment policies for engineering faculty members.” Among factors cited by the NSPE awards committee was the fact that half of the 409 engineering faculty members at Texas A&M are registered professional engineers and regis tration is generally required for promotion above the rank of assistant professor. Sixty percent of the engineering faculty here currently hold office or serve on committees of profes sional societies. Eighty percent attended at least one national or state meeting. Safety engineer scholarships given Five Texas A&M University safety engineering students were chosen to receive the M&M Protection Consultant’s 1982-83 Scholarships. Karla L. Konzen and Gregory P. Durham of College Station, Theresa A, Cull of Stafford, Kim M. Paddle of Ranchos Palos Verdes, Calif., and Sharon K. Williams of Fritch received the scholarships. Three other safety engineering students received scholar ships from the Marathon Oil Co. They are Laura M. Kincaid of Kingwood, Scott W. Ostrowski of Houston and Denice D. Scruggs of Corpus Christi. These scholarships are based on outstanding academic performance. Flag football entries open If you like contact sports, the Class of ’83 is sponsoring a flag football tournament on Saturday, Nov. 6. Any team that wishes to enter the double-elimination tournament must raise the $50 entry fee to do so. Trophies for the first through fourth place teams will be awarded as well indi vidual trophies for winning team members.

Clark said the deputy city manager will report to the city manager and be re sponsible for six operating de partments which include Bryan Utilities, Municipal Services De partment, Enviromental Ser vices Department, Community and Support Services and police and fire services. These depart ments previously were handled by the city manager. Clark said this change will en able him to look ahead and con centrate on the less immediate problems, leaving most of the day-to-day matters to the deputy city manager. “We wanted to put emphasis on long-range planning and prove our ability to anticipate f uture problems and opportuni ties,” Clark said. Another position created was executive director of planning, budget and research. Clark said this change puts the department directly under the control of city management. “This way we can match the physical needs with the fiscal needs of the city,” he said. Clark said that with the de partment under city manage ment, he can guess more accu rately the costs of building new facilities as well as operating and maintaining them. He said another significant change made in the organiza tion was that the Public Works Department was moved under the Enviromental Services and Municipal Services depart ments. Also, the Parks and Re creation Department was di vided and was moved under the Public Facilities and Mainte nance Department and the Community and Support Ser vices Department.

The First Annual by Kim Schmidt Battalion Reporter Completion of a security vault will provide researchers at the Texas A&M Center for Strategic Technology access to more clas sified government documents. The center, which primarily researches defense operations, has been limited in its range of research without the safe, center directors said. The vault, which will be built in the new Engineering Labora tory building, will increase re search capabilities because it will allow greater degrees of con fidential material to be kept, the directors said. Expected to be completed in the spring, the safe will resemble a large bank vault. Its combina tion-locked door will open into an 18-foot by 11-foot room that is surrounded by 1-foot thick, AGGIE FLAG FOOTBALL TOURNEY SATURDAY NOV. 6 Team & Individual Trophies 1 st-4th Place Double Elimination Class Councils Booth Room #216-MSC 2-5 Monday-Thursday $ 50 00 per team For more info call Chuck Philipp or Jeff Cantrell 696-6618 TS-O Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired ’ , BRYAN 216 N.

Because documents must not be removed from the safe, it will be large enough for researchers to work inside. Col. Harold B. Owens, head of the vault project, said. “I think it (the vault) will give the University a chance to have more of a say in defense matters and in helping to shape policy on a national level,” Owens said. Dr. Richard Thomas, center director, said the University has received praise from the De partment of Defense for its de fense studies. But he said the University can still increase its role in forming defense policy. The shaping of defense policy currently is dominated by cor porations and other institutions on the east and west coasts, he said. But through more re search, Texas A&M can give that area of the country a stron ger voice in defense matters. The University will increase r the influence on policy making in the Southwest with the instal- lation of the vault, he said, be- |i cause it will become the only in- stitution in this region; only university-related zation in the countrjlt] such a safe-keepingplatt| Owens said some are so highly classifiedi are confined to usewl vault by authorized only.
