He said the general theme will
be to develop a few subjects in
some detail, using a elementary
descriptive approach instead of an
advanced technical approach. A
tentative selection of subjects in
cludes Simulation and game strat
egy with application to military
problems, linear programming and
performance, evaluation and review
technique.
ELEMENTARY computer pro
grams utilizing the first two con
cepts will be written by the parti
cipants.
Other subjects covering military
and scientific uses of computers
will include inventory and supply
applications, artillery warfare, and
science and industry.
One field trip is scheduled to
the NASA Manned Spacecraft
Center Computer Unit in Houston,
Ballinger said.
Scientists Prepare Findings
From Cruise For Symposium
Oceanographers from four na
tions are preparing findings made
during a cooperative research
cruise from Argentina to Antarcti
ca for presentation at the Sym
posium on Antarctic Ecology, to
be held on the Stanford University
campus, June 17-20.
The cruise is the latest of a
series made in a cooperative pro
gram between A&M and the Ar
gentine Navy Hydrographic Office.
The National Science Foundation
has made a two-year, $64,000 grant
for the research program.
“Learning more about the bio
logical and chemical properties of
the South Atlantic along' the con
tinental shelf off Argentina and
southward to Anarctica is a basic
goal of the studies,” Dr. Sayed Z.
El-Sayed, A&M oceanographer,
said.
Aboard the Argentine research
vessel, Capitan Canepa, during the
cruise were El-Sayed, Byung Lee,
A&M graduate student from korea,
two Japanese scientists, Drs. Yukio
Sugimura and Shigeru Fukase, and
Argentinian oceanographers includ
ing Dr. Enrique Mandelli of the
hydrographic office.
The Capitan Canepa followed a
zigzag course during the 35-day
cruise to observe the waters of
the South Atlantic at 50 “stations.”
The scientists paid special at
tention to the Antarctic Conver
gence, where the cold waters of
Antarctica meet the warmer wat
ers. Waters of this convergence
area play a significant role in the
distribution of the marine organ
isms and the water masses south
of the convergence or meeting
point are rich in these organisms.
The phytoplankton, small organ
isms, are eaten by larger ones,
the zooplankton, which in turn are
devoured by still larger creatures.
