Aggies Learn To Snorkel
In SCUBA Driving School
Oceanic subjects don’t necessar
ily have to be taught in the ocean.
Neither do marine students need
webb feet.
“Landlubbers” of varying di
mensions are being taught snor
kel ing and diving techniques at
Texas A&M, at least a 100-mile
crow’s flight from the briney
deep.
Among the flatlanders enrolled
is Ernest Knowles of Ogden,
Utah, an arid city nearly 1,500
miles from the Pacific.
Knowles actually is more of a
“Sea Dog” than many people who
A&M System
Receives Grants
Two schools in the Texas A&M
University System have been
awarded grants from the Robert
A. Welch Foundation in Houston
to purchase $78,300 in research
equipment.
The 10 projects were announced
Monday by foundation trustees.
Texas A&M received $59,300
for eight chemical research inves
tigations. Prairie View A&M was
given $19,000 for two projects.
Principal researchers at A&M
include Dr. J. M. Prescott, Dr.
Ralph A. Zingaro, Dr. Alfred
Danti, Dr. Richard M. Hedges, Dr.
Carl M. Lyman, Dr. John A. Mc
Intyre, Dr. Dwight C. Conway
and Dr. A. D. Suttle Jr.
Prairie View’s researchers are
Dr. C. T. Stubblefield and Dr.
Charles E. Urdy.
All funds will be used to pur
chase new test equipment.
Prof Presents
Science Paper
Dr. Ronald Darby of the De
partment of Chemical Engineer
ing presented a paper at a na
tional meeting of the Electro
chemical Society.
The assistant professor’s paper,
titled “Bubble Dynamics,” con
cerned principles of bubble nu-
cleation, growth in nucleate boil
ing and at gas-evolving electrodes
and systems comparisons.
Range Club
Elects Officers
Billy M. Hood, a range science
major from Tyler, has been elect
ed president of the Range and
Forestry Club for the 1966-1967
school year.
Dan Henard, Jr. of Wellington
was elected vice president and
grew up near the wharfs. He
spent five years in the U. S.
Navy, three as a gunnery officer
on a destroyer.
Students in the 10-week course
range from fish-like to brick-like
swimmers, chief instructor Don
Walsh notes. SCUBA diving is
application of self controlled
breathing apparatus in the water.
“Those who complete the course
are not to be compared with
Lloyd Bridges (of TV “Sea Hunt”
fame),” Walsh grinned. “They
learn basic safety, potential dan
gers of diving and limits of

Other officers are Dennis Keil-

and Steve Holtz of Seguin, Agri
cultural Council representative.
Prof To Teach
In Pakistan School
Architecture professor Robert
F. White will teach landscape
architecture this summer at the
East Pakistan University of En
gineering and Technology.
School of Architecture Chair
man Edward J. Romieniec will
visit the university for three
weeks in July to study possible
short-term assistance by A&M in
the architectural program.
Alpha Pi Mu
Chooses Officers
Alpha Pi Mu, the national hon
or society of the Department of
Industrial Engineering, began
preparation for next year with
the election of officers.
The new officers are Mike
Barnes, president; Jim Talley,
vice-president; Stan Suigita, cor
responding secretary; Gary Car
ey, Treasurer; and Sidney Brown,
recording secretary.

SCUBA equipment. The sea is
darker and temperatures vary
more than in a heated pool.
The 30-hour non-credit diving
school is designed for oceanogra
phy and biology students who
need the training in their profes
sion. Except for knowledge which
could someday save their lives,
students receive only a wallet
sized certificate as basic SCUBA
divers.
The serious work often pro
duces humor. An instructor gave
a hand slash across the throat
signal underwater to his “buddy,”
indicating an empty air tank.
Usually, the “buddy” pulls a re
serve valve on the tank to provide
extra air. This time, the student
quickly squelched the air com
pletely.
“Everything worked out all
right,” Walsh chortled, “but it
would have been embarrassing in
130 feet of water.”
Students find “ditch and don”
training most difficult. In the
exercise, swimmers remove their
equipment underwater, then put
it on again.
Twenty-eight persons in the
course include two husband-wife
teams: Rick and Shary Brown,
Fred and Molly Boles, and a solo
fern, Paula Forst, wife of ocean
ography student Ron Forst.
“All the women are doing well,”
Walsh commented. “They are not
strong swimmers, but they learn
fast and work hard. Fifty to 60
pounds of equipment gets heavy.”
Walsh, a Navy lieutenant com
mander on active duty to study
physical oceanography, is cohold
er of the world record for deepest
ocean dive in the Bathsycaph
Trieste.
Students use their own flippers,
divers masks and snorkeling gear.
Oxygen tanks are provided.
Walsh promotes enrollment
with this blurb: “All the water
you can drink for $15.”
Ag Professor
Joins Faculty
Dr. Edward A. Hiler, formerly
of Ohio State University, has
joined the Department of Agri
cultural Engineering as an assist
ant professor.
Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of
agriculture, said the new staff
member will research and teach
primarily in water management
control.
Hiler received his BS, MS and
PhD degrees from Ohio State.
Research for his doctoral pro
gram, under National Science
Foundation sponsorship, was on
“Electrokinetic Removal of Col
loids from Suspension.”
Part of the engineer’s research
in Ohio was with the Robert A.
Taft Sanitary Engineering Cen
ter in Cincinnati and involved
problems in measuring organic
contaminants in river water. He
later worked at Wooster with Dr.
Ross Brazee at the Pioneering
Research Laboratory on Physics
of Fine Particles.

Take your good time
going home.
Fly half-fare on
Eastern via Florida.
Florida swings in the spring — but it really swings in the summer.
Lower off-season room rates are in effect. And Eastern will take you to
Daytona or Ft. Lauderdale or even Miami for half-fare.
So take a detour and enjoy it on your way home. Or go home first and down
to Florida later.
Just use your Eastern Youth ID card, or similar card from another airline. If
you don't have such a card, it's a snap to get one —provided you're under 22
and can prove it. For the specifics, stop by a Travel Agent or any Eastern ticket
office.
Once you have your card, you can get an Eastern Jet Coach seat for half
fare. You can't make an advance reservation. But if there's a seat available at
departure time, you can fly to any Eastern destination within the continental
U.S. Including Florida.
