/* &M Gets Sea Study Grant ® Slid f; The Office of Naval Research effect 5 awarded an $853,000 contract i ir a broad rang-e of oceanographic Eccatjllies my A&M faculty and grad- 0 Re students, President Earl Rud- as announced. Most of the re- :h supported by the award will conducted in the Gulf of Mexi- IICT Ir The contract, plus a $147,000 it from the National Science idation announced recently, bs to $1,000,000 for the next ! months the federal funding for dn research projects under- n by the Department of biography and Meteorology. In jtion the state, industry and krai agencies other than the and NSF provide substantial ants to individual investigators. The $1,000,000 total thus far raided is up more than $100,000 rar funding for the past 12 onths. Plans call for use of the R/V [aminos in much of the research iring the next 12 months. She as commissioned late last year is at sea about two-third of time. 'he Gulf of Mexico is an ideal for various oceanographic lies because it has such clearly imscribed connections with oth- seas through the Yucatan and nida Straits and so much is wn about the input of fresh Jer and sediments of land ori- in," Dr. Willie E. Pequegnat said. He is acting head of the depart ment of Oceanography and Me- teorogy. A&M physical oceanographers using portions of the new grants will continue their studies of sur face and deep currents and the history of water masses, some of which can be traced here from as far as the Antarctic Ocean, the cross-section of temperature, air- sea interaction vital to knowledge of the origin of hurricanes and their influence on life in the sea, as well as other environmental stu dies. Marine geophysicists will con tinue their studies of the structure of the earth’s crust in the Gulf basin, essenstial to the oil industry and understanding of the Gulf’s origin. Marine geologists and geo chemists will study the nature of the sediments and the rate at which they are laid down in the Sigsbee Deep and will also study aspects of clay mineraology. Chemical oceanographers will participate in further broad studies of the chemistry of the Gulf wa ters, revealing the nature of nu trient cycles and history of trace elements, all of which exert con trols over life in the sea. A special biological project is a continuation of a six-months old Maritime Ship Nears Goal The SS Alcoa Clipper, recently acquired by the Maritime Academy will be ready for the annual sum mer cruise by May, 1964, said David C. Mercer of the Maritime Academy Tuesday. A government appropriation of $250,000 has been made for restora tion of the ship for sea duty. Bids will be made by various firms for the work to be done on the ship. “The ship must be made ready for certain compulsory Coast Guard surveys to be approved for sea duty,” said Mercer. “The engine room, hull and electronic equip ment will come under scrutiny; however, there are no plans for adding new equipment. Taking the ship out of ‘mothballs’ will be an expensive proposition since the cost of drydock inspection, alone, ranges from $7,000 to $8,000 per day,” Mercer said. Cadets will visit Halifax, Nova Scotia; Oslo, Norway; Goteborg, Sweden; Copenhage, Denmark; Edinburgh, Scotland; New York, and then return to Galveston on the Clipper. Approximately 100 cadets at the Maritime Academy and members of the faculty will go on the cruise; even some incoming freshmen will be allowed to go. Regular lectures will be held on board during the criuse by faculty members on ship operation theory and ship repairs, as well as formal courses in Eng lish and mathematics. analysis of marine fouling. Ways to prevent or minimize biological fouling on buoy-mounted sensors is being sought. Such fouling is an important obstacle to the use of deepsea buoys reporting on demand to satellites on sea and weather conditions from remote areas of the world ocean. “The support of ONR has been essential to the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology achieving its present level of de velopment,” Pequegnat said. He will serve as coordinator of the ONR projects. This fact is illustrated by the purposes of the new award. It will provide support for operation of the Research Vessel Alaminos and smaller vessels, research and development centered on two Tex- as-power platforms offshore from the U. S. Naval Mine Defense Lab oratory at Panama City, Fla., and sleeted investigations based on the main campus. The platforms are highly instrumented for the auto matic processing of data derived from the marine environment. This data is vital to other environmental studies conducted at Panama City. The United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867, but most Americans ignored it as a land of Eskimos, igloos and snow until in 1890s when Seattle newspaper headlines blared “Gold! Gold! Gold! Sixty-eight Klondikers bring back a ton of gold!” xn BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES to day 44 per y 3c per word each additional da; Minimum charge—50^ DEADLINE 4 p.m. day before publicat Classified Display 90< per column inch each insertion 11 word CHILD CARE UMPTY DUMPTY NURSERY, 3404 h College, TA 2-4803, Virginia D. s, R.

CAMPUS BRIEFS I ‘We’ve Never Been Licked’| | In Guion Hall For Weekend | “We’ve Never Been Licked,” the film story of student life at A&M, is scheduled for showing Friday and Saturday at Guion Hall, ac cording to Student Advisor Bert Thompson. Thompson said two new copies of the film had been purchased by the university from Champion Films in New York City, following a long period of tracing the new owner of the film rights. The old film owned by the uni versity had become so worn from many years of showing that it was taken out of circulation some time ago, Thompson said. ★ ★ ★ The United States Marines Corps Officer Selection Team will visit the campus Nov. 23- 25. The team, commanded by Capt. John H. Gray, will be lo cated in the Memorial Student Center from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Purpose of the visit will be to interview and administer the necessary tests, without obliga tion, to students desiring infor mation concerning Marine Corps Officer Training Programs and subsequent commissioning as a second lieutenant. ★ ★ ★ The University program to Peo- ple-to-People will meet in the Room 102 of hte YMCA at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The program is student-origi nated and operated, involving thou sands of students on over 100 cam puses. Its goal is the bringing together of peoples of the world so that they will learn to appreciate each other’s cultures, traditions and way of life. The main task of all members is to better understand the world and its problems by communica ting with students from other coun tries. ★ ★ ★ The Brazos County A&M Club will have a fish fry Wednesday, announced Secretary - Treasurer Wayne Schmidt. Schmidt said the meeting will start at 6 p.m. for the social hour and fish and hush puppies at the A&M Clubhouse on Eh- linger Drive. Shortly before 8 p.m., the club will go to G.

Don Warren of Richardson, YMCA president, will serve as panel moderator.

Tom Huck sought scientific excitement He’s finding it at Western Electric Ohio University conferred a B.S.E.E. degree on C. T. Huck in 1956. Tom knew of Western Elec tric's history of manufacturing development. He realized, too, that our personnel development pro gram was expanding to meet tomorrow’s demands. After graduation, Tom immediately began to work on the development of electronic switching systems. Then, in 1958, Tom went to the Bell Tele phone Laboratories on a temporary assignment to help in the advancement of our national military capabilities. At their Whippany, New Jersey, labs, Tom worked with the W.E. development team on computer circuitry for the Nike Zeus guidance sys tem. Tom then moved on to a new assignment at W.E.’s Columbus, Ohio, Works. There, Tom is work ing on the development of testing circuitry for the memory phase of electronic switching systems. This constant challenge of the totally new, combined with advanced training and education opportunities, make a Western Electric career enjoyable, stimulating and fruitful. Thousands of young men will realize this in the next few years. How about you? If responsibility and the challenge of the future appeal to you, and you have the qualifications we are looking for, talk with us. Opportunities for fast- moving careers exist now for electrical, mechani cal and industrial engineers, and also for physical science, liberal arts and business majors. For more detailed information, get your copy of the Western Electric Career Opportunities booklet from your Placement Officer. And be sure to arrange for an interview when the Bell System recruiting team visits your campus.
