Brannon said he wanted to be
on the committee because he is
concerned about the financial
aid program. He says communi
cation is the department’s big
gest problem.
“I don’t think the program is
based enough on need right
now,” he said. “I think our first
goal should be to make students
more aware of what funds are
available and how to get them.”

Battalion Reporter
Shamim A. Rahman, a Texas
A&M senior, has won a gold
medal for his paper on an aeros
pace engineering project at an
international science contest
held in Budapest, Hungary.
Rahman, an aerospace en
gineering major, represented
the United States in the contest,
which was part of a conference
sponsored by the International
Aeronautical Federation last
month.
Other contestants were from
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Chi
na, France, Romania and Bul
garia.
Papers entered in the under
graduate division of the contest
were judged on technical con
tent and oral presentation.
Rahman’s paper evaluated
three weeks of tests he had per
formed on a National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration
proposal to prevent ice from
forming on the exterior fuel
tank of the space shuttle.
The proposal suggested heat
ing the fuel tank with warm air
jets.
Rahman said chunks of ice on
the fuel tank break off and dam
age the shuttle’s external tiles.
For the space shuttle to safely
re-enter the atmosphere, the
protective tiles must be working
properly.
“My tests verified the effec
tiveness of the ice suppression
proposal,” Rahman said. “The
proposal is definitely feasible.”
“Engineering research prob
lems take years and each time
the tests are done, they’re just a
little fancier and more accurate
than before,” he said.
The tests were made on a
scale model of I he space shuttle
at the University’s wind tunnel
at Easterwood Airport.
Dr. Jose Porterio, assistant
professor of aerospace en
gineering. directed the tests that
were done for the Johnson
Space Center in Houston. Rah
man was his student research
assistant.
“Rahman worked for me for
about a year,” Porterio said. “He
is a very hard-working, bright,
mature student. I’m sure he’ll do
well wherever he goes.”
Judge Robert F. Pfeuffer of
New Braunfels will speak at 1
m. to students with interests in
