Students view new welding methods
By TARA SHOCKLEY
of the U.P. staff
Students in the welding program of
Lamar’s College of Technical arts
Thursday saw a demonstration of new
techniques in alloy welding. Represen-
tatives from Hi-Alloy Weld Specialties,
Inc., a Houston-based firm, demon-
strated and described new welding
electrodes, or welding rods, designed
for alloys such as aluminum, stainless
steel and cast iron.
The demonstration was part of the ef-
forts of the College of Technical Arts to
keep its students updated on the newest
techniques in thier field of study.
“We encourage any company with
new, innovative ideas to demonstrate
them to our students, ” said M. Paul
Roy, head of the industrial department.
The petro-chemical industry in this
area has exclusive problems, Roy said,
which take special techniques to solve.
“The petro-chemical industry often
uses special alloys in the chemical
process. Welders may have trouble
welding these alloys, such as molyb-
denum, and the proper choice of elec-
trode is often the answer,” said Roy.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - American
women have come a long way in their
effort to gain equality with men, but
two Los Angeles researchers warn that
this could mean they may also begin to
die like men.
Dr. Charles Lewis and Mary Ann
Lewis say a reduction in sexual
discrimination need not pose a risk to
the health of women if they learn from
past experience to avoid the behavioral
patterns that shorten the life spans of
men.
“If we are striving for a nonsexist
society, with equal opportunity for all,
it would be better to seek increased op-
portunities for women in occupation,
business and commercial affairs and a
reduction in the morbidity and mor-
tality of men.”
The Lewises, with the UCLA Center
for Health Sciences, cite statistics and
numerous studies to show that males
have experienced greater death rates
and more illnesses in all ages in the 20th
Century.
say there* is evidence that dif-
ferences in death and sickriess'rates
between men and women “are related
more to their behaviors and roles in
society than to their biologic inheritan-
ce.”
Women are clearly the superior sex
in terms of survival, the report said. It
suggested this might be explained in
part by the fact that women have been
expected or permitted by society to be
more concerned with health and to
assume the role of patient more
frequently.

The Hi-Alloy demonstration included
techniques for cast iron electrodes,
aluminum arc-welding, brass and bron-
ze arc-welding and silver sautering,
used in industry primarily for joining
copper.
"Tech Arts wants its students to be
aware of what is being done on a day-to-
day basis by metallurgists and
engineers,” Roy said. “If they (studen-
ts) find problems in their jobs, they can
suggest solutions.”
Welding is undergoing constant
change, Roy said, and welding in-
structors encourage companies to
demonstrate new ideas before small
groups of students. Demonstration
groups are kept small, Roy said, so
students can closely observe special
techniques.
“As soon as there is a recognized
problem in this field, there are people
working to defeat it, ” Roy said.
"We’re interested in our students being
exposed to as many methods as
possible, as opposed to only traditional
technical school methods.”
Roy said there are about 125 students
in the welding program now, and that
new students will be accepted for begin-
ning level classes in the Spring. The
welding program leads to a two year
associate degree, and trains welders in
plate, pipe, and inert gas welding.
“There is an increasing demand for
welders in this area,” Roy said, “and
we haven’t been able to supply the
demand.”
