Help In Project
The Grady County Chapter of
the American Red Cross has is-
sued another plea for help in their
ditty bag project, according to Ma-
jor Norman Morse, chapter chair-
man.
The chapter is soliciting the help
of clubs, home demonstration clubs,
church groups, veterans organiza-
tions, sororities, youth groups, and
individuals in making ditty bags for
the servicemen in Vietnam. Cash
donations will also be accepted.
The chapter will furnish direc-
tions and suggested items to be in-
cluded. Each bag will also contain
the donor's name and address. Ok-
lahoma has been asked to supply
160,000 bags, a 33 percent increase
over last year.
Interested parties should call CA

WEIGHING SAMPLES — Sediment samples are weighed

Alfred L. Taylor, a native Ok-
lahoman who has had experience
it; business, with government pro-
grams and in education, has been
employed as director of data pro-
cessing at OCLA.
In this capacity, Taylor not
only will teach courses in com-
puter programming, hut he also
will schedule use of the 1130 com-
puter being installed at OCLA in
August, and will set up programs
for use of the computer in the ad-
missions and business offices.
Taylor comes tn OCLA from
Northwestern A&M, Miami, from
which college he resigned in the
spring after five years of employ-

bdepartment at Northeastern, he

NEW COURSE DESIGNERS — A team of OCLA faculty members and students, work-
ing with a consultant from Stephens College, Columbia, Mo., have developed an in-
novative course, acclaimed by experts as “an exciting venture into interdisciplinary
learning,” to be required of incoming freshmen this fall. The course, “Contemporary
Man in World Society,” will integrate the various fields of the social sciences — his-
tory, economics, political science, and sociology particularly — with literature, art,
music and drama. The subject matter is man as he is today and why he is as he is.
The members are (left to right) Leon Cherrington, faculty; Teresa Ramirez, faculty;
Linda Richardson, Verden; Richard W. Massa, faculty; Robert Morton, Duncan; John
Sheehan, Lawton; John Graves, Guthrie; Dr. Irene Mitchell, chairman; and Jane Ann
Mays, Frederick.
Housing is a number 1 problem for
incoming faculty at Oklahoma Col-
lege of Liberal Arts, Dr. Robert L.
Martin, president, pointed out to-
day.
“I have barely arrived in Chick-
asha and already I find that we
have new faculty members search-
ing for homes to rent for the com-
ing year. We are anxious to cooper-
ate with these incoming people, and
I already am impressed by the
spirit of Chickasha residents. I find
that the people of this community
are anxious to cooperate with OCLA
and by listing rental property with
us they can he'p with a major prob-
lem,” Dr. Martin adds.
The new OCLA president calls
attention to the fact that at least
two of the incoming faculty mem-
bers are searching for three-bed-
room houses to rent. Other need
housing of various sizes.
"I have asked Mrs. Margaret
Frey, secretary to the dean of the
college, to serve as coordinator on
the OCLA campus for this project.
Persons who have property to rent
are asked to list same with Mrs.
Frey. This can be done by tele-
phone. calling extension 209 at CA

These duties were performed a-
long with regular teaching assign-
ments and a recruiting program
which increased the enrollment,
in the Data Processing Depart-
ment 400 per cent over the five-
year period.
After Taylor's release from the

Lindsay Broomcorn
Harvest Under Way
Broomcorn harvest in the Lindsay
district is moving right along with
10-12 crops in the process of being
cut the middle of last week, accord-
ing to the Broom and Broom Corn
News bulletin.
That cut earlier contained some
discoloration, the fibre contains
some wave, and runs self-working
in length. The later crops a-e ex-
pected to be of better quality and
not contain as much heavy fibre. I
Plenty of labor has been avail-
able thus far, and weather has been
favorable for curing, according to
Lucien Kempf, Lindsay. It was
rather hot the first part of the
week, with temperatures reaching
95 to 101 degrees.
Planting is practically over with
seed dealers reporting little or no
seed sold last week, Kempf add-
ed. There probably will not be
as much wheat stubble planted as
some had thought earlier due to
the farmers’ skepticism of getting
sufficient help to get it harvested.
There apparently will not be as
much acreage as last year and pro-
duction will depend on the yield.
Kempf anticipates the possibility of
as much or more tonnage than last
year, while with light yield it could
be less.
Several cars of storage corn have
moved out of Lindsay to factories
this week.
With continued favorable weather,
it's expected baling in the Lindsay
district will get under way next
week. As far as could be ascertain-
ed, no sales had been made in the
Lindsay district up to the middle
of last week.
Apparently buyers arc waiting
until some of the early crop is bal-
ed as well as wanting to get a bet-
ter line on quality of the later crops
before opening the market.

Sediment samples collected by
Watershed Research Center Per-
sonnel between Anadarko and Alex
are analyzed at the sediment labora-
tory located at the Cotton Research
Station east of Chickasha. The lab-
oratory is operated by the Water-
shed Research Center in coopera-
tion with the Oklahoma Agricultural
Experiment Station's Cotton Re-
search Station. The sample collec-
tion and analysis is part of the over-
all objective of the reseach center
to determine the effect of flood de-
tention structures and conservation
treatments on the streamflow,
ground water level, bank erosion,
and sediment movement along the
main stem of the Washita River.
Samples are collected at five lo-
cations on the main stein and from
eleven tributaries along the 78 mile
reach between Anadarko and Alex.
During storm flow a team of two
men is assigned to each of the six-
teen stations to collect sediment
samples and measure water velo-
• em-a
samplers. After the samples are
collected they are taken to the lab-
oratory for analysis.
At the laboratory the samples of
river water or creek water are
weighed and the sediment is settled
to the bottom of the bottle with a
flocculating agent. The clear water
is siphoned off, and the sediment is
transferred to a beaker, dried in an
oven, and then weighed. The percent
of sediment is obtained by dividing
the sediment weight by the total
sample weight. The percent of sedi-
ment in the sample multiplied by
the amount of water flowing in the
stream given an estimate of the
amount of suspended sediment be-
ing transported by the stream at
the time the sample was taken. If
the sediment concentration is chang-
ing slowly, 4 or 5 samples per day
is usually sufficient to obtain a
good estimate of the amount of sedi-
ment transport, but if the concen-
tration is ’fluctuating or changing
