E Each contribution of $ 10 or
more to the center will be repre
sented by a light on the corii-

or someone whom the donor
wishes to remember. There will
be a special section about the
tree in the Christmas issue of the
Biyan-College Station “Eagle“.
Included in the section will be a
list of all those honored with a
light on the tree.
! Harold McCullough, dire
ctor of development at the Bra
zos Valley Rehabilitation Cen-
teiy said he got the idea from an
article he read about a similar
tree that stood in the lobby of a
small eastern United States hos
pital. He decided to try it on a
community-wide basis.
| McCullough chose the in
tersection of Texas Avenue and
University Drive because it is the
busiest intersection between
Dallas and Houston.
[ “I wanted to put it where
everyone could see it,” he said.
"About 43,000 cars pass
through there every day.”
I So McCullough asked various

they thought about his idea.
“City Manager North Bardell
was all for it,” McCullough said.
“Everyone is all for it and they’re
all willing to help out.”
McCullough said that one
Bryan family contributed
$5,000 for the star. He said the
rehabilitation center has re
ceived $15,000 in contributions
so far, including $10,000 for
lights.
Texas A&M University,
Alpha Phi Omega, the Texas
Forestry Service, city officials
and many local residents have
been willing to help out, McCul
lough said. Texas A&M gave the
rehabilitation center permission
to put the tree on their property.
APO, a service fraternity, is col
lecting donations from students
on campus. The Texas Forestry
Service donated the Christmas
tree. And city officials provided
the electricity and helped with
the wiring for the lights.
“This is the first time the two
communities have worked on a
big project like this together,”
McCullough said.
Dr. Frank W. Hubert, Texas
A&M chancellor emeritus, will
hold the local Easter Seal child,
Allison Utterback, while she
switches the tree lights on dur
ing the lighting ceremony.
Rev. Bob Waters of the A&M
United Methodist Church wall
be the master of ceremonies.
High school coaches Harold
Ferguson and Merrill Green
and two local school choirs also
will participate in the activities.
Donations still may be made
through the Brazos Valley Re
habilitation Center or APO.
i5canner reads
body surface
■ by Ann Ramsbottom
I Battalion Reporter
Optical measuring instru-
Diehts used in the production of
fiew automobile models may
soon have an alternate use in
measuring human body surface,
Texas A&M University resear
chers say.
I Human performance resear
chers, under the direction of Dr.
George Jessup, have been work
ing with the instrument, called a
biostereometric scanner, for a
year.
“We’re just in the research
Cage,” said Jessup, associate
rofessor of health and physical
education. “But potentially the
device can be used in rehabilita
tion to evaluate injuries and
atrophy. Hopefully, it will also
aid in the study of tumor growth
and the effectiveness of treat
ments on surface tumors
through external measur-
ments.”
Jessup said the device uses a
laser beam to measure human
body surface, a measurement
which in the past has been hard
to achieve accurately. The scan
ner traces the body with a beam
of infrared light that bounces
off the skin surface and then is
detected by a television camera,
Jessup said.
Health researchers require
accurate body surface area mea
surements to evaluate such
things as cardiopulmonary
function. Presently, many
health researchers use predic
tion equations on a small seg
ment of the population to esti
mate body surface area from
height and weight.
However, people of the same
height and weight can have very
different bodies, so a more accu
rate measurement is needed.
The scanner provides a means
of measuring a large sample of
the human population using
more accurate equations.
