Page 8 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, October 12, 1967 Safety Program Saves Life Confab To Look At Ocean Needs How can properly trained scien tists and engineers be provided for a rapidly burgeoning disci pline that builds upon such basic fields as biology, geology, physics and chemistry ? Manpower needs for exploring one of the world’s least studied frontiers will be examined in a “Manpower for Oceanography” educational symposium at Hous ton’s Shamrock Hilton Nov. 20-21. The nation-wide symposium sponsored by the American So ciety for Oceanography and Gulf Universities Research Corp. will pool thinking of officials from the U.S.’s key oceanographic institu tions, industry and government. AREAS OF inquiry will probe the heart of the oceanography problem: —How may enough of the right people be attracted to ocean sci ence and engineering? —How may contact be main tained with them so these persons can be assisted in building the proper educational backgrounds? —How may they best be pre pared for professional and tech nical positions in the field ? The symposium packs educa tional power to sink an iceberg. Possible solutions will be dis cussed by Edward Wenk Jr., exec utive secretary of the National Council on Marine Resources and Engineering Development; Rob ert Abel, head of the National Science Foundation office of sea grant programs, and Capt. T. K. Treadwell, Naval Oceanographic Office deputy commander, among others. SCRIPPS Institution director Wil liam A. Nierenberg, Woods Hole Institution director Paul M. Fye and Richard A. Geyer, head of Texas A&M’s oceanography de partment, will discuss oceanogra phic manpower’s recruiting, pres ent status and future require ments.

Adkisson, a staff member of the Texas A&M Uni versity Entomology Department since 1958, has been named pro fessor and acting head of that department. He replaces Dr. J. C. Gaines who has been appointed chief of party for the A&M’s U. S. Agen cy for International Development (AID) contract group in East Pakistan. Dr. H. O. Kunkel, acting dean of the College of Agriculture and acting director of the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station, said Adkisson is an outstanding au thority in insect ecology and is recognized internationally. “Dr. Adkisson deserves much credit for the federal-state efforts that stopped the westward migra tion of the boll weevil. By invi tation, he has lectured at the NATO Advanced Study Institute and International Summer School on Circadian Clocks in Germany, at the Agricultural University of Wageningen in the Netherlands, at Washington State College, and at other institutions,” Kunkel said.

The concept of introducing oceanogi’aphic materials in sec ondary schools will be presented. Congressman Paul Rogers of Florida will discuss “Human Re sources and National Goals.” SPEAKERS FROM industry, government and scientific insti tutions will outline educational backgrounds preferred for ocean ographic personnel and antici pated manpower requirements. They will include Cecil H. Green of Geophysical Service Inc. and Texas Instruments and Andeas B. Rechnitzer, North American Avia tion. Findings will be avidly pursued by officials of nearly 800 U. S. universities that submitted pro posals under the government’s sea grant act, similar to land grant college legislation. Dale F. Leipper, American So ciety for Oceanography president, said symposia presentations will be compiled into an ASO publica tion.

Recent revisions in the safety program of the Texas A&M Phys ical plant might be accredited with preventing a serious injury to a young electrician recently. Lloyd Webb, employed by the electrician shop at the Physical Plant, sustained minor cuts and bruises and a headache from a blow to the back of the head which could have caused a con cussion or serious fracture. Webb, who has only recently been employed by the Physical Plant, was loosening a pin on the cable of a truck when the ‘A’ frame came loose and hit him in the back of the head knocking him to the ground. He was examined at the University Hospital and released back to work the same day. Credit for preventing any seri ous injury can be attributed to the plastic hard hat which the safety program had advised all its workers to wear while on the job. Had he not been wearing the hard hat at the time of the acci dent, said Robert A. Jenkins, Planning Engineer for the Physi cal Plant, he could have been very seriously injured. Hard hats is only one of many new safety devices which workers are advised to equip themselves with while on the job. Other safety features include goggles, gloves and special protective glasses. John Fritz, a senior Industrial Technology major at A&M, cant* given the credit for revising out old safety program, Jenkins slat. „ ed.
