Faculty, Students Devote Time, Effort to Research Center
Center Marks Tenth Year
Of Representation This Fall
By Peggy Chriswell
R . J. Long, H. T. Mei, R.
The Lamar Tech Re-
search Center is marking
its 10th year of representa-
tion this Fall, enabling the
faculty, aided by upper -
level students, to engage
in creative research.
Thirty-one faculty mem-
bers were supported in
research activity by state
funds during the past year.
They were: F. E. Aber-
nethy, Saul Aronow, W. C.
Breining, O. G. Brown, M.
D. C am e r on, J. C. Cox,
F. M. Crum, R. S. Coffey,
D. E. Davis, A. P. DelFla-
che, E. A. Eads, W. J.
Emmons, W. T. Fitz-
gerald, E. W. Fornell, O.
T.Goines, C. W. Hagelman.
G . Rogers, H. B. Rule, C.
N.Stravrou, R. A. Wooster,
A. W. Yeats, Roger Yerick,
R. M. Zane r , and J. D.
Edwards.
The Research Center is
supported by both state and
private grants. A grant of
$20,000 from Julius
Gordon, of the Jefferson
Amusement Company,
p r o v i ded the Center with
its initial projects in 1953
and 19 54. Last year the
Robert Welch Foundation
supported Dr. J. D.
Edwards witha total of
$12,896,68.
This grant, along with one
from the Gulf States Util-
i t i e s Co mpany, Gulf Oil
Company, and State funds,
came t o a grand total of
$80,668, 50 for the 1962
and 63 year.
The Research Center is
administered by the
research committee of
which Professor Lloyd B.
Cherry is chairman.
P r o p o s als are now being
made by a number of
interested faculty members
which were to be presented
this week to the com-
mittee . After all of the
proposals have been
received the committee
was to evaluate them and
decide on the merit of
support. Mr. Cherry has
s t a ted that all allocations
should be made by Novem-
ber 1.
The Center enables stu-
dents to display their ability
and make friends in
industry so they will come
to La mar Tech with high
level problems. In this
way the Center brings the
college closer to industry
and futher expands LamaP s
importance to this area.
Bor several years the
Gulf States Utilities
Com pany has supported a
study of the Neches River
water which has been
administered by the Re-
search Center. Dr. James
Cox and Dr. R., A. Mc-
Allister, along with a
number of students, have
been employed in this
activity.
Along with these services,
the Research Center is
e q u ipped with a computer

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 advance 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.

also prepares College
Board and graduate school
admissions tests.
Scores on the National
Teacher Examinations arc
used by many large school
districts for employing new
teachers, and by several
States for granting teaching
certificates, or licenses.
Some colleges require all
senior s preparing to teach
totake the tests Lists of
school systems which use
the examinations are being
distributed by Educational
Testing Service to colleges
educating teachers.
More than 400 testing

throughout the nation for
the February 15 examina-
tions. At the full-day
session, future teachers
may take the Common
Examinations, testing their
professional knowledge and
general educational back-
ground, and one or two of
the 13 Optional Examina-
tions, measuring mastery
of the subjects they expect
to teach. Prospective
teachers should contact
the school systems in
which they seek employ-
ment, or their colleges, for
s p e c i fic advice on taking
the examinations, accord-
ing to Educational Testing
Service.
