The driver's license information showed that Deville was wanted on traffic charges in Wilbarger and Donley counties. Martin also ran a routine wanted check through the Texas and National Crime Information Centers and found that Deville was wanted in Freestone County on a felony theft charge.

Dr. H.G. '-Grady" Ry lander, chairman of the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, told the more than 100 people attending the banquet that engineering will continue to play a vital role in the future.

In an interview, Rylander said that American engineering "is at the cutting edge of technology in the world" and said he thinks we will lead it in the next two decades out of a situation where we have been lagging. "We're leading in fields of computer technology right now," he said. "I don't think there's any doubt that we have the most advanced computers in the U.S. "But for the first time, we are beginning to apply this technology in our own production process." Rylander said that robotics is being used more and more in American pro- By DON BROWN Advocate Staff riKr Terry Smith of the Soil Conservation Service and Jody Weaver of ITG Construction and Engineering were named Engineer and Young Engineer of the Year, respectively, at the annual Engineers Week Banquet at Victoria Country Club. The banquet was sponsored by the Victoria chapter of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and the Coastal Bend Subsection of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The TSPE chapter presented $250 scholarship awards to Ashley Logan, a senior at Victoria High School, and Michael Francis, a senior at Industrial High School of Vander-bilt. Paul Hougland, an eighth grade student at Travis Middle School in Port Lavaca, was presented the TSPE Mathcourts award for excellence in mathematics.

Foes Rap Advisers FORT WORTH (AP) A consulting firm told a federal panel studying the Comanche Peak nuclear power plant that it proved utility officials a list of documents it planned to study before visiting the plant The Dallas-based Citizens Association for Sound Energy contended that the notice given by Cygna Energy Service allowed the plant's staff to check the accuracy of the records before the inspection team arrived and biased the independence of the Cygna findings.

But Cygna project manager Nancy Williams told a three-member panel of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board on Monday that the notification had little effect on the conclusions of the study. Ms. Williams said the study team was aware of record-keeping problems at the plant before requesting about 1,000 documents during the quality assurance study last fall. The plant's staff was given the list because the consultants estimated it would take at least four hours to find all the documents, which listed design changes for eventual correction, Ms. Williams said.

Advance notification is a "standard quality assurance audit approach," Ms. Williams said. But ASLB chairman Peter B. Bloch questioned the explanation, saying the procedure "doesn't seem to me to be an adequate test of how the documents were handled day to day." Installation of a new transmitter by KXIX-TV, Channel 19, in Victoria, will soon provide 10 times more broadcasting power. The new transmitter will go on line Friday and will improve reception of Channel 19's signal, according to Charles Smithey, director of engineering.

Smithey said the special transmitter is a hybrid, the first of its kind in the world to combine an Aerodyne transmitter and a Harris driver system for final amplification of the signal. KXIX-TV will boost its broadcast signal to 154,000 watts, which will expand the station's coverage area by 50 percent, Smithey said. duction techniques, and with it comes improved quality control. He said that the computer will play a far more important role in the education of engineers. The key to automated parts and automated assembly has to start on the drawing board, he said.

He does not think man will ever be replaced by machine. Rylander said that even though LT-Aus tin's school of engineering has 6,000 students, he sees a continued demand for people trained in the discipline, even though they may go on to other fields. Rylander said that as technology becomes more and more difficult, it is going to become much more difficult to get into the other professions. As a case in point, he said his two sons received their masters degrees in electrical engineering, but are now board-certified opthomolic surgeons. "They understand the laser and the more sophisticated tools that are finding their way into the operating room," he said.

Cafeteria Winner Chosen William Offer Elementary School's cafeteria was named winner of the district's Western-themed decorating contest Tuesday, food service director Dolores Barnabei said. The children of the school will be treated to ice cream as a prize during Texas School Lunch Week. Other winners, announced by Mrs. Barnabei, were Shields Elementary, second place; and Hopkins Elementary, third place. Three schools were named "judges' individual favorites," she said.
