Scientists Gain New Vessel
For Oceanographic Studies
A&M researchers recently have
gained valuable new “tool/' the
180-foot Research Vessel Alami-
nos, for productive search in the
Gulf of Mexico and other seas.
Sea trials for the trim, white
Alaminos early this week, form
the final check before the Levings-
ton Shipyards at Orange turn the
vessel over to the Department of
Oceanography and Meteorology for
research. She will be operated by
the A&M Research Foundation un
der the supervision of C. R. Spar
ger.
The first student cruise is
scheduled to begin late Friday or
Saturday morning and to end Mon
day. Longer cruises are planned
in the immediate future.
The Alaminos with a 6,000-mile
range can sail on any sea.
Program scientist for cruise
planning is John C. Cochrane, a
graduate of the Scripps Institu
tion of Oceanography.
A&M scientists believe the Ala
minos compares favorably with
any oceanographic research vessel.
“She is by far the best equipped
vessel of her type in the Gulf of
Mexico and one of the best of her
size and type in the American
oceanographic research program,”
Dr. Dale F. Leipper said.
He came to A&M in 1949 to
organize the oceanographic studies
which now have an international
reputation.
The Alaminos is the largest and
best-equipped by far of the re
search vesels used by A&M. She
is the fourth major vessel which
Aggie oceanographers have uti
lized in 12 years.
The new vessel also is notable
as the only university - operated
oceanographic vessel in the Gulf
work.

Most of her cruises will be in
Gulf waters, the Caribbean or
North Atlantic although a tenta
tive voyage is planned into the
Pacific off Chile.
Laboratories plus living quarters
for 13 scientists, a crew of 16 and
an electronics technician are pro
vided on the ship. Her enclosed
scientific space totals 2,926 square
feet, plus almost that much open
space on deck.
UN Club Programs
Movie For Meeting
“Sense Perception,” a color
movie, will be shown at the fourth
meeting of the United Nations
Club Friday 7:30 p.m. in the
YMCA Building.
The club, which meets bi-month
ly, is composed mainly of the 356
international students, but the
meeting is open to all, a spokes
man said.
A social hour will follow the
movie with coffee and doughnuts
to be served.
The National Science Foundation
awarded a $925,000 grant for con
verting the Alaminos into a sea
going laboratory and recently au
thorized a $90,000 grant for opera
tion of the ship this year. Dr.
Hugh McLellan supervises the pro
grams.
Special features aboard the Ala
minos include an electrically driv
en bow positioning unit with 360-
degrees rotation. This unit is
something like an outboard motor
but operated below the bow of the
ship. The unit will allow the
ship to travel at slow speeds dur
ing certain types of scientific
operations and to maneuver while
on station, taking observations
with the ship’s engines silent.
Passive anti-rolling tanks have
been installed to reduce the roll of
the vessel in heavy seas. This
will permit use of instruments in
the laboratories under a wider
range of sea conditions and will
improve living conditions aboard
ship.

Better Utilization
Says Space Report
A&M University continues to
more efficiently use lecture halls,
classrooms and laboratories. This
is the gist of the - annual Space
Utilization Report issued Thurs
day by Dean of Instruction W. J.
Graff.
The University this semester has
a 47 per cent utilization rate based
on a 40-hour week. A year ago
the comparable figure was 41 per
cent. The first study made in
1960, showed 39 per cent utiliza
tion.
Dean Graff hopes that within
the next three or four years the
utilization rate will be increased
to the goal of 66 per cent. This
goal is considered the optimum
figure which is possible at pres
ent.
Perhaps the most difficult utili
zation rate to hike is that involv
ing specialized laboratories neces
sary to advanced studies in
sciences and engineering, the dean
said. These laboratories, however,
can be effectively used only by
students when they reach a cer
tain classification and during a
specific semester in their parti
cular curriculum.
“This fall we do not have
scheduled classes meeting in tem
porary buildings or obsolete build
ings,” Dean Graff said. Old
Science Hall, which handled 28
hours of class meetings weekly
a year ago, has been demolished.
The temporary buildings, World
War II barracks, are no longer
utilized for classes, although re
search activities still go on in
these buildings.

I tell a few war stories — just like the rest. The censorship of good
taste and modesty makes my experiences pretty drab. But Jerry thrills to
them. He’s proud of his Dad’s Purple Heart!
My son would be amazed if I were to tell him the stories we never tell;
our thoughts as we hit the beach . . ..what it was like in those jungles . . .
what war does to its dead . . . and its living.
And in other ways Jerry would be amazed; for he doesn’t know me
as a man who prays often. He can’t realize the depth of my Faith. He
has never met the brave chaplain who brought me in when I was hit.
I’ll never tell Jerry all of it. I don’t think God wants me to!
I pray that Jerry’s may be a different world. I want him to learn
day by day, step by step, what his religion will mean to him! .
That’s why ive’re a church-going family!
