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. THE BATTALION Thursday, November 8, 1962 College Station, Texas Page 3 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. TWU Exes Plan 1YTSC Card Party The Texas Woman’s University Alumni Club card party will be held Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Social Room. Tickets are $1 per person. Re servations may be made with Mrs. Bill Oxley at VI 6-7834. Members have been encouraged to bring guests and their own cards. PHILADELPHIA CP) _ Phila delphia Eagle line coach Chuck Cherundolo gives this appraisal of John Baker, 275-pound defen sive tackle acquired from the Los Angeles Rams: “Baker is so easy to coach. He’d eat grass if you asked him.” 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. and Low, Low PRICES BIG BONUS STAMPS Too ceiseii FLOUR Maryland Club Food Club Lb. Can 59 ^ Lb.
