New $80,000 Science Grant THE BATTAUON Given A&M Grad Student Thursday, February 13, 1969 College Station, Texas Page 5 Both Houses To Consider Bill An $80,000 National Science Foundation grant has been awarded Miss Lela M. Jeffrey of the Oceanography Department for chemical study of soluble or ganics in sea water. The two-year grant to be ad ministered through the Research Foundation will become effective Saturday. Kinds, amount and distribu tion of trace organic compounds in Gulf of Mexico waters will be determined by the oceanography research scientist’s project. “These compounds — such as vitamins, amino acids and toxins — constitute one part per million or less,” the female oceanogra pher said. A&M Graduate Students Awarded Two American Nuclear Society Prizes Graduate students won two of the three prizes awarded for pre sentations at the joint meeting of the North Texas Section and Texas Student branch of the American Nuclear Society. Mitty C. Plummer, president of the Graduate Student Council and formerly of Odessa, won top hon ors with a paper entitled “The Thermo-electric properties of Molten Salts.” H. L. Smith of Kalamazoo, Mich., placed third. His topic was “Electron Spin Resonance Stud ies of Gamma Irradiated Plastics Containing Doped Calcium Sul fate.” Both Plummer and Smith are nuclear engineering Ph.D. candi dates. Second place went to T. Cris well, a North Texas State gradu ate student. Featured speaker for the week end meeting at the University of Texas at Austin was Dr. Karl P. Cohen, president of the American Nuclear Society and vice president of the General Electric Company. He discussed the future of nu clear energy. A&M’s student delegation was accompanied by Dr. Robert S. Wick, nuclear engineering profes sor and student branch sponsor, and Dr. James Smathers, assist ant professor of nuclear engineer ing. HER NSF-supported project will develop and evaluate a meth od for concentrating the major portion of the soluble organic matter to better characterize the fraction and to determine its stable carbon isotopes content. A shipboard pump will b e utilized to pass 50 to 1,000-gal lon samples through a charcoal column to withdraw organic ma terial. After removal from the charcoal with solvents, the com pounds will be analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spec trometry to determine molecular composition, the doctoral candi date added. “Some of the project work has already been done,” Miss Jeffrey said. “I have about a dozen samples.” She estimated three cruises will be necessary to make the additional collections. “THESE WILL be made at various depths, on the continental shelf and in the deeper Gulf, for comparison purposes,” she con tinued. Differences of natural organic matter and river-effluent contaminants will thus be appar ent. “Eventually we hope to find out whether the compounds have biological effects on living or ganisms,” Miss Jeffrey said. Panel Okays Liquor-By-Drink AUSTIN <•#*> — A Senate com mittee voted Wednesday to let Texans have their say on liquor by the drink, but a high-ranking Baptist argued that money will do the talking. The Constitutional Amendments Committee approved, 7-4, a pro posal which would give the legis lature the power to enact a mixed drinks bill on a local option basis. A similar measure was sent to a House subcommittee Tuesday night. If the measure is approved by the full Senate and House, it will go on the general election ballot Nov. 3, 1970. Voting behind closed doors, senators confirmed Frank C. Erwin’s six-year appointment as a University of Texas regent and also confirmed two new regents— Jenkins Garrett of Fort Worth and Dan Wiliams of Dallas. Senators are not allowed to tell the overall vote on confirmations, but reporters questioned individ ual senators and came up with an informal result of 28-3 in favor of Erwin, an Austin lawyer who was opposed by many students at the school. \ml BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES 'eningl These l h an4| Jill be -alads.l One day 4<* per word 3C per word each additional day Minimum charge— Classified Displ 900 per column each insertion DEADLINE 4 p.m. day before publication FOR SALE lay inch FOR RENT Nice two bedroom duplex.

Grady Hazlewood, Amarillo. He said there had been trouble at the school with “a bunch wanting to organize a nudist camp . . . homo sexuals . . . nudity in plays . . . and we have had four cold blooded murders out there . . . “If the people who run that school can’t run this bunch off the campus then the regents will have to do it. That is supposed to be a place for learning, not play ing.” Erwin’s name was sent to the full Senate after the nominations committee unanimously approved his appointment Tuesday, follow ing two days of open hearings.
