THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Thursday, May 28, 1964
Ocean Sediment
Study Underway
A scientific party from A&M
University sails from Galveston
Monday to seek additional clues
to specks of asphalt in sediments
from 13,000 feet below the Gulf
of Mexico.
The asphaltic particles were
found in cores taken this spring
in a cruise by Dr. Maurice Ewing
and a party from the Lament
Geological Observatory of Colum
bia University and A&M re
searchers.
Now the Aggie researchers
want additional cores or samples
from the deepest part of the gulf.
The particles hold special inter
est to geologists attempting to
unravel the geological history of
the gulf basin.
“What the asphalt particles
signify. I’d hesitate to say,”
William J. Bryant said. He is
scientific chief of the 12-man
party sailing aboard the A&M
Research Vessel Alaminos.
Cores taken during the three-
week cruise will provide addi
tional insights but not a final
answer, Bryant cautioned.
“It has been speculated that
some of the (organic) materials
were carried to the ocean bottom
by turbidity currents,” Bryant
said.
These are currents set in mo
tion by earthquakes or the equi
valent of underwater landslides.
Science first took notice of such
currents after the underwater
cable linking Europe and America
was broken in several places by
such currents. Scientists later
found evidence of these currents
in fossil remains.
“But no one has observed a
turbidity flow per se except in
Lake Mead,” Bryant said.
These currents may play a key
role in carrying sediments includ
ing organic materials from rela
tively shallow waters to the Sigs-
bee Deep.
The Deep is a vast area at the
bottom of the southwestern gulf,
an area where the bottom is so
level at spots that there is only
a foot change in elevation over
8,000 feet horizontally. Such a
slope is less than that found on
what is considered flat land.
The Sigsbee Deep lies off the
Campeche Banks, a relatively
shallow area of the gulf known
to fisherman and shrimpers.
A NEW GOLD OAK LEAF
Mrs. Wiley W. Bell examines her husband’s new insigna
of rank, a gold oak leaf, following a ceremony in the office
of Col. D. L. Baker, Commandant of the Corps of Cadets.
Bell is Signal Corps officer assigned to the advanced ROTC
section.
Firemen’s Training School
Dates Announced By Smith
Dates for the 35th annual Texas
Firemen’s Training School at A&M
will be July 19-24, H. D. Smith,
the school’s director, announced.
Approximately 1,850 men from
Texas and 20 other states will
participate in the week-long pro
gram. The enrollment figure in
cludes 250 firemen who will serve
as consultants and instructors.
The following week, July 26-31,
an additional 175 industrial fire
men will arrive on the campus for
the annual industrial fire protec
tion school.
The 1963 school attracted 1,823
fire fighters, marshals, inspectors
and others from 430 Texas towns,
29 other states and three foreign
countries.

The City Secretary of the City of College Station is directed to give notice to the owners of prop
erty abutting upon the said portions of street named to be improved and to all others interested, of the
time, place and purpose of such hearings and of all m atters and things by causing a substantially correct

circulation in the City of College Station, Texas, the first of which publication shall be made at least ten
days before the date of such hearing, and by such publication all owners of property abutting upon said
portions of said street, whether such owners be named herein or not and whether the property be correct
ly described herein or not, as well as to all others in any wise interested therein or to be affected there
