Atomic Energy Commission
Gives Tech $10,000 Grant
Becky Parnell to Represent
Lamar Tech in San Angelo
I
Miss Be c ky Parnell of
Winnie, a junior in home
economics at Lamar Tech,
will represent the college
Department of Home
Economics and district
nine in the statewide
Make-It-Yourself-In-Wool
contest in San Angelo
January 10-11.
The contest is sponsored
in Texas by the Texas
Women's Auxiliary of the
National Wool Growers
Assn, and the Texas Sheep
and Goat Raisers Assn.
Miss P arnell and three
other Texas students were
awarded the trip to San
Angelo at district judging
at Texas A&M in one of 10
such competitions held in
the state.
The Ma ke - It-Yourself-
In-Wool contest is open to
women from 14 to 21 years
of age. It is the only
s e w i ng contest which has
been on the approved list
of the National Association
of Secondary Principals
for eight years.
Miss Parnell modeled a
black and white Forstmann
wool coat made by a
Vogue design. The coat is
a high fashion barrel
shape with current "just-
below- elbow - le ngth"
sleeves. The costume is
accented by a large scarf
of the same material, with
black wool trim, draped
over the shoulder, and
with large decorative
buttons.

Machinery for putting
into use the $10,000 grant
for the purchase of radia-
tion equipment given' Lamar
Tech by the Atomic Energy
Commission has been
star ted, according to Dr.
Harold T. Baker, head of
the Department of Chem-
istry.
The AEC grant was
designated for the Depart-
ment of Chemistry, and
Lamar Tech will add $3,000
to assist with the purchase
of supples and materials.
Dr. Edwin S. Hayes, dean
of the School of Arts and
Sciences, has announced
ATTENuI
"Christmas for the Birds’
that Dr. Roger Yerick will
act as director of the
Radiation Laboratory at
Lamar Tech, and will be
responsible for co-ordina-
ting the use of the facilities
for the School of Arts and
Sciences'.
Dr . Yerick is associate
profess or of chemistry.
Assisting in the program
planning for using facili -
ties for radiative isotope
work w i 11 be William T.
F itzgerald of the Depart-
ment of Biology, and Oscar
T. Goines and G. F.
Landegren of the Depart-
ment of Physics.
Lamar Tech has an active
interest in developing a
radiation pTogram and
radiation laboratory
facilities,, and the AEC
grant Will make possible
the acquisition of a number
of basic components needed
in labor ato’ry work, ac-
cording to Dr. Baker.
First laboratory courses
in radiochemistry at.
Lamar Tech were offered
this Fall semester. The
office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization provided the
college with an adequate
supply of survey meters,
dosimeters, and other
e q u i p m e n t, .as yvell as a
set of Co-60 gamma
sources.
Scalers and electroscopes
provided by the college
afforded enough equipment
to begin the radiation
course, although a small
enrollment* was necessary
because of the limited
amount of facilities.
Funds p r ovided by the
Atomic Energy Commis-
sion will make it possible
to purchase additional
scalers, a scintillation
spectrometer; a plutonium-
berylliufn neutron source
for activation of such
samples as silvdr, idium,
and mangahese; electro-
meters; special calibrated
radiation sources; remote
handling equipment, and
miscellaneous supplies and
materials._

Our world-recognized trademark—“the P&WA eagle”
—has been identified with progress in flight propul-
sion for almost four decades, spanning the evolution
of power from yesterday’s reciprocating engines to
today’s rockets. Tomorrow will find that same Pratt &
Whitney Aircraft eagle carrying men and equipment
to the moon and to even more distant reaches of
outer space.
Engineering achievement of this magnitude is directly
traceable to our conviction that basic and applied
research is essential to healthy progress. Today's
engineers at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft accept no limit-
ing criteria. They are moving ahead in many direc-
tions to advancS our programs in energy conversion
for every environment.
Our progress on current programs is exciting, for it
anticipates the challenges of tomorrow. We are work-
ing, for example, in such areas as advanced gas
turbines ... rocket engines ... fuel cells ,.. nuclear
power—all opening up new avenues of exploration in
every field of aerospace, marine and industrial power
application.
The breadth of Pratt & Whitney Aircraft programs
requires virtually every technical talent. . . requires
ambitious young engineers and scientists who can
contribute to our advances of the state of the art.
Your degree? It can be a B.S., M.S. or Ph.D. in:
MECHANICAL • AERONAUTICAL • ELECTRICAL • CHEM-
ICAL and NUCLEAR ENGINEERING • PHYSICS • CHEM-
ISTRY • METALLURGY • CERAMICS • MATHEMATICS
• ENGINEERING SCIENCE or APPLIED MECHANICS.
Career boundaries with us can be further extended
through a corporation-financed Graduate Education
Program. For further information regarding oppor-
tunities at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, consult your
college placement officer—or—write to Mr. William L.
Stoner, Engineering. Department, Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft, East Hartford 8, Connecticut.
