the Atlantic can normally carry
a crew of six or seven plus at
least ten scientists.
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

ing will be done by ‘ the oceano
graphy department of A&M, which
also furnishes the staff for re
search of the foundation in this
specialized field.
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.

K&F Club Hear
Humorist’s
Trouble Cure
“People would be blessed if they
stayed in a good humor,” said
Casey Moore, humorist-barber
from Hearne, while speaking to
the Knife and Fork Club last night
in the MSC.
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.

Remodeling of A&M’s archi

ed by a shortage of light fixtures,
Ernest Langford, head of the de
partment, said today.
Other materials needed for the
construction are being stock-piled
until the fluorescent lights are
available.
The work, begun late last suitd

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
