Each rumbling was heard ap-

rumbling in a violent crescendo.
The distant explosions, felt at va-

Texas from the Panhandle to the
Gulf provides excellent ornamental
building wood, according to J. Frank
Dobie. University of Texas author
and English professor. Colors are
yellow and red, the latter “as beauti-
ful when polished as the richest ma-
hogany.”
The hog industry in Texas which
has been increasing for the past sev-
eral years, is rapidly cutting down
the importation of 726,000,000 worth
of pork annually into the state.
Enrollment for the 1980-40
session at Texas Technological

Propagandized “scientific" reports
and regimentation into the army of
potential scientists is undermining
technical progress in Germany, ac-
cording to W. R. Woolrich, Univer-
sity of Texas engineering dean. Sup-
posedly scientific journals, particu-
larly in chemical and mechanical en-
gineering. are often obtained with
false claims that American scientists
know to be unreliable, he added.
