Carries $100,000 Equipment When she is fully equipned, the ship will carry more than $100,000 worth of scientific equipment. Among this equipment will be a complete electronics laboratory, chemical, biological and physical laboratories, and a fathometer for checking water depths by reflected sound waves. Other equipment the Atlantic will have includes Loran for navi gation aid. a geomagnetic electro- kinetograph for measurement of ocean currents, and an assortment of winches, cables and devices for sampling, dredging and coring the Gulf bottom for study. When outfitted, the research -ship will sail regularly from a Texas port for oceanographic re search and teaching, principally in the Gulf Coast area. Research pro jects will be carried on by the it &M Research Foundation for in dividuals, industry and govern mental agencies in need of infor mation concerning the Gulf. The Research Foundation, which is a non-profit corporation, has its headquarters at A&M, and uses the staff- and facilities of the college system as well as its own.

Established in 1949 with Dr. Dale F. Leipper, department head, as its only staff member, the oceanography department h a s shown an amazing growth. Conducting undergraduate and graduate courses in oceanography, it has also taken on research pro jects developed by the foundation each year. Presently, it has a large staff of scientists working on 15 major research prefects in the Gulf, with an annual budget of $466,000. Having possession of the Atlan tic now makes possible not only a stepping up of the research and teaching schedule, but a major expansion of the whole program. The ship will be used in studies in the various fields of oceano- graphy, including the study of ma rine atmosphere, the water itself and the ocean floor. Industry of the Southwest is particularly interested in studies of the , Gulf because of industrial development along the coast. Most of these industries are making use of sea materials or using the Gulf as a means of disposal of plant wastes. The Atlantic is now docked at Milwaukee, where a crew will go around Mar. 1 to bring it to Tex as. Tlje ship will be sailed from Milwaukee by way of Lake Mich igan to Chicago, down the Chicago, Illinois, and Mississippi rivers to enter the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans, and then across the Gulf to Galveston. . . . the letters start.

The topic of Moore’s speech was “The Future We’re Heading For.” Moore began his speech by say ing he had been to A&M so much that I feel like one of you.” “I don’t know which one of you it is,” he said, “But whoever it is had better go home and get some sleep.” Between anecdotes, Moore ex plained the troubles of the world today. It’s just like the football player that keeps “going, around his own end,” he said. Moore summed up the cause of the world’s troubles by saying, “People worry too much.” Moore emphasized that people also work too hard. “In fact, I work so hard in my barbershop saving other people’s hair that I’m about to lose mine,” he said.

Other materials needed for the construction are being stock-piled until the fluorescent lights are available. The work, begun late last suitd mer, will change completely the fourth floor of the Academic Building. Many of the smaller classrooms are being converted to laboratories by the removal of walls. Floors are being covered with asphalt tile. The ceilings are being covered with acoustical material to reduce noise. Pastel colors and venetion blinds will be used to eliminate glare in till the rooms and offices.
