To Begin Research
In ‘Drake’ Region:
A continuing- study of primary winter expedition to the Antarctic.
biological production in the South
Atlantic, the Drake Passage and
tbe Antarctic will start this month
financed by a $38,500 grant to
A&M oceanographers by the Na
tional Science Foundation.
The grant, just announced by
the NSF through the A&M Re
search Foundation, will make possi
ble a study involving scientists
from three nations.
Directed by Dr. Sayed Z. El-
Sayed, A&M biological oceano
grapher, the project is part of
the United States 1963-64 Antarc
tic Research Program.
In studying the primary pro
ductivity in the Drake Passage,
El-Sayed and scientists from Ar-
gentia and Japan will collect data
on the tiny phytoplankton that
form the basis of the “food chain”
that ranges from shrimp-like krill
to whale.
THE DRAKE Passage is a
stormy body of water where the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans come
together between, the southern tip
of South America and the Antarc
tica PeninsiVm.
Dr. Dvfe Leipper, head of the
Department of Oceanography and
Met<X)rology, said the Argentine
Navy’s hydrographic office will
cooperate in the project under the
direction of Capt. Luis Capurro.
Dr. Enrique F. Mandelli, Argentine
chemical oceanographer,, has been
on campus gathering preliminary
research data this fall.
Dr. Tetsuya Torii of Chiba Uni
versity, Japan, was here in October
making preliminary arrangements
for Japanese oceanographers to
join in the research project.
AS SECRETARY of the Japan-
rse Antarctic Research Committee,
he offered use of the now inactive
Japanese research base on the An
tarctica continent for current or
future projects.
Torii was leader of Japan’s 1960
Their Syowa base is on the Prince
Olav Coast on the other side of
the continent from the U. S. Mc-
Murdo base.
A&M researchers will work from
the Argentine research vessels
^Capitan Canepa” and the “Zapio-
la” to measure the primary biolog
ical productivity off the continental
shelf of Argentina as well as in
the Drake Passage.
THEY ALSO will measure the
relationship of the minute biolo
gical life to movement of the
huge masses of water in this
ocean-sized “bottleneck.”
An A&M doctoral candidate,
Byung Don Lee of Pusan, Korea,
will leave in January for Argentina
and the Southern Ocean to begin
the study of zooplankton for the
project, El-Sayed said.
‘Several of the Argentine sci
entists and hydrographers look
with great favor on the project
because the continental shelf is
virtually unexplored and the data
collected will be of vital import
ance to the marine fisheries in
vestigators,” El-Sayed noted.

Narcotics Agents Seize Heroin
Worth $4.5 Million In Raid
Mi* lift-
HOUSTON — A suitcase
containing nearly 23 pounds of
heroin federal agents said was
worth $4,5 million was seized
Wednesday by federal, state and
city agents.
The seizrure was made with the
arrest of a man and a woman
near a downtown hotel.
Adele Gomez de Castillo, 40,
Monterrey, Mexico, and Milton
Bennett, 53, New York City, were
charged with receiving and con
cealing heroin.
Dan Yates, head of the U. S.
Customs office, said the seizure
was the “biggest ever made in
Texas.”
“We’re pretty sure this is a
syndicate operation,” said Capt.
Jack Renois, head of the Houston
111 police narcotics squad.
I Agents described the 22 pounds
and 12 ounces of heroin as “top
Taking Off For Dallas
When you gotta go, you gotta go. This
weekend’s trip to Dallas for the year’s first
Corps Trip may prove no exception, but we
find it hard to believe this group of “stu
dents” will make it to Dallas in this car.
They did get as far as the parking lot how
ever.
Scholarships Given
Two $250 scholarships will be
presented to Aggie sophomores
Monday at a Houston meeting of
the Texas Section of the Institute
of Food Technologists.
Winners of the grants are J. T.
Barron from Beeville and C. R.
Decker of Seminole.
quality extraction.” It was packed
in 20 plastic bags in a small
suitcase.
Yates said the heroin, when brok
en down, diluted and put into cap
sule form, would net $4,453,904 on
the illicit retail market.
Bennett and Mrs. Castillo were
arraigned before U. S. Commis
sioner Billy Costa.

Physics Research Experience Grant
Awarded A&M For College Teachers
A $10,760 grant to provide phy
sics research experience for four
college teachers has been awarded
to the Department of Physics by
the National Science Foundation.
Purpose of tl^e grant is to en
able four physics teachers at other
colleges to engage in graduate-
level research here during the 1963
summer session, said Dr. J. B.
Coon, professor of physics and di
rector of the program.
He is seeking applications from
physics teachers in small colleges
that do not have an active research
program
Appointees will receive a stipend
of $900 plus allowances for de
pendents and travel.
Those appointed will participate
in one of four research projects.
Coon will direct a study of the ul
traviolet absorption spectra of
simple molecules. Dr. Joe S. Ham
will direct research in organic
semiconductors and polymer phy
sics. Dr. N. M. Duller will super
vise research on cosmic rays, an,d
Dr. O. D. Sittler -will direct re
search in biophysical study of in
sect nerve ganglia.
