Local Students on Dean’s List at STSU
The Fayette County stud- the 2,288 Southwest Texas
ents listed below are among State University students
Warm And Wonderful Cobbler
What do peaches, pears, grapes, pineapple, cherries and whole
bran cereal have in common? They all go together in a delicious-
ly tempting Fruit Cocktail Cobbler that’s straight from Kay
Kellogg’s list ol quick and easy desserts. Fruit cocktail is com-
bined with a dash of orange peel and crowned with tender,
muffin-like bran biscuits. Serve warm from the oven, golden
brown and bubbling with light cream, whipped topping or a
generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

whose fall semester grades
earned them places on the fall
term Dean's Honor List.
To make the regular honors
list, a student must be enrolled
for a minimum of 12 semester
hours of course work, exclud-
ing physical education activi-
ties, and have at least an
overall B average
The top academic list, the
Superior Dean’s Honor List,
requires students to have
grades of A in at least 12 of the
required 15 hours of course
work and no lower than a B in
their other three-hour course.
This averages out to a
minimum grade point average
of 3.8 on the four-point scale or
a 2.8 on the three-point
system.
Local students whose scho-
lastic averages have earned
them inclusion on the fall
semester Dean’s List at
Southwest Texas State are as

A lot is being said about high
ford prices these days, but few
explanations are being offered
other than accusations as to
who is to blame
"Beware of the fickle finger
of guilt lest it point to each of
us," contends Dr. William
Vastine, food distribution
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice at Texas A&M Univer-
sity.
“For instance, consumer
demands and tastes have
increased drastically over
recent years," says the
specialist. “Higher quality
foods are demanded and more
convenience items are re-
quested. Variety and con-
venience are key words in the
present state of food pro-
ducts."
Non-food items are also
getting a larger share of every
dollar spent at the super-
market Recent studies indi-
cate that about 28 cents of
each dollar spent at food
outlets goes for non-food
items, notes Vastine. For
example, he adds that more
total money is being spent at
supermarkets for paper pro-
ducts and foil than for eggs

Some supermarkets now
offer almost 10,000 items to
meet varying consumer de-

compare prices with so many
new items being added to
grocery shelves during the
past few years,” the specialist
points out
"Granted, food prices have
increased, some 3 percent
last year, and are expected to
increase 4 to 4.5 percent in
1972 But not all food items
have gone up in price.
Consider poultry and dairy
products and pork. All these
have experienced price de-
clines in recent months,
according to information from
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.”
The factors of supply and
demand have a big effect on
food prices, according to the
specialist "A good example is
beef Beef has been in short
supply and high demand so
naturally prices have been
higher. In fact, beef prices
have increased to the peak
level they were in 1952. On the
other hand, can you list many
other items that are at the
same price level that they
were 20 years ago?”

cost of replacement stock The
cost-price squeeze which has
been evident in agriculture in
recent years has made it
difficult to realize a profit,”
says Vastine.
Processing and retailing
costs have also spiraled. And
with consumers demanding
more processing and special
packaging, prices of products
on the grocery shelf may be
quite high compared to a few
years ago. In many cases,
home preparation may be the
answer to high food prices,
contends the specialist.
The old adage of “you get
what you pay for” may never
be more true than it is today,
says Vastine. “If we were
willing to go back to the
standard of living of 20 years
ago, the total food bill might
not seem so high. Yet, back -

sterilize and release only male flies a week,
flies because females mate So sexing has been ignored
just once whereas males mate as impractical and all screw-
worm pupae are sterilized and
released, male and female
alike, on the assumption that
at least half would be the
preferred males.
Sterilizing programs in-
volve rearing insects in a
laboratory, sterilizing the
males and releasing them in
quantities sufficient to signifi-
• males. As a result, almost all
matings in any release area
should occur between normal
females and sterilized males,
points out Meadows.
Sterilized insects carry
defective chromosomes so
that matings between treated
and normal flies result in eggs
that don’t hatch.
Now a team of entomolo-
gists at • the Agricultural
Research Service Metabolism
and Radiation Research Lab-
oratory in Fargo, North
Dakota, have manipulated the
genetic traits of houseflies to
isolate a, beat-sensitive lethal
factor. This results in the
death of flies reared at 92
degrees With, further cross-
breeding and additional gene-
tic manipulation, the Fargo
researchers have obtained a '
strain in which males always
inherit this temperature-de-
pendent factor in a different
set of chromosomes than the
females. Thus, the males are
more resistant to heat than
their sisters.
When the offspring of this
strain are reared at tempera-
tures above 92 degrees F, the
females die in the pupal stage
and only adult males emerge
Another advantage of high-
temperature rearing would be
a reduction in rearing tire
because the immature stages
develop faster, allowing an
increase in annual fly produc-
tion with no additional outlay
for plant, explains Meadows.
Studies are now in progress
to obtain a heat-sensitive
factor acting in the egg stage
Females could then be killed
before hatching and twice as
many males obtained from a
given volume of food material
in which the insects are
reared
As far as is known, no such
research with screwworms
has been done, says Meadows
However, the lab director
indicates he would be happy to
see such work undertaken,
especially since the annual
cost of food media for the
