Luhrs’ time of 80 days 20 hours from New York to San Francisco beat a record that had stood since 1854, when Millard Fillmore had just turned over the White House to Franklin Pierce, France had an em peror and the world’s first oil well was still five years away. The old mark of 89 days eight hours had held off challengers for 135 years. It had been set by the clip per Flying Cloud, a masterpiece of master shipbuilder Donald McKay, which was navigated by the skipper’s wife, Eleanor Creesy, with himself, Josiah Creesy, at the helm. Creesy, his 40-odd member crew and his passengers were in a rush be cause there was gold in California. His cargo could fetch $1 an egg and $40 for a quart of whiskey. Clipper ships, the greyhounds of the sea, were built for speed. Any thing fast in those days could be called a clipper. Clipper sleds. Clip per buggies. Flying Cloud, in fact, broke her own record in 1854. Three years earlier, with her white and gold god dess figurehead cutting the waves, Flying Cloud sped around the Horn with Eleanor Creesy navigating past the rocks and through snow and gales to beat the old record by more than a week. The crew, who had blown out several topmasts under Creesy’s iron rule — that time was money and speed advertising of the finest kind, promptly deserted for the gold fields. The clipper era was actually short lived and marked the last undis puted primacy of the American mer chant marine. American clippers in the opium trade to China set speed records all over the world. Their names were as glorious as the ships: Comet, Eagle Wing, Westward Ho, Sovereign of the Seas, Young Amer ica, Sea Witch. (Sea Witch sailed from Hong Kong to New York inII days 14 hours in 1849). The Americans had another ud sung hero, Matthew Fohtaini Maury. Maury was a Navy lieutenar; who had been beached duetoalej injury, so he was given a berth assa perintendent of the sleepy Depan merit of Charts and Instruments He began collecting log boob from as many voyages as he o find and gradually drew upchartsoi wind patterns and currents. Armeii with these, Americans became, briefly, monarchs of the oceans. Hit era didn’t last because theCivilWal concentrated the nation’s energifi away from the sea and because the development of the ironclad steamboat. McKay’s last clipper, the Glory of the Seas launched in ended her days as a frozen fish ware house.

Craig Cline, student body presi dent of TSU, said housing was the top problem at his university. Wiley spoke for the A&M — Galveston contingent, saying they had asked members present poor campus food service as their biggest problem. Meetings are held in College Sta tion when the regents’ bi-monthly meeting is in session and alternate between the other three schools in other months. The 17-membfl board is made up of five memben from A&M, four from Prairie Vie*, four from TSU and three from A&M — Galveston. CSAB chairman Zelia Wiley said the representationis based on the size of the student pop ulation at each school. Wiley said the board uses its mcei- ings to determine what problemsare occurring System-wide. Any dif ties the universities have in common are brought to the attention to chan cellor and the regents, she said. “I like to think of the CSABasbe ing a mediator between the students and the system,” she said.
