' South America 6 Teen Caravan’ Set For 4-H A “Teen Caravan” to Peru and four other Central and South American countries is described as the chance of a lifetime for Texas 4-H Club members. Edward F. Schlutt, associate state 4-H leader, said the June 24 to August 22 tour gives the participating 4-H members an opportunity to learn much about international relations. The tour, he continued, has been planned by the National 4-H Foundation and is a project of the Texas Partners of the Alli ance with Peru. Its purpose, Schlutt said, is to provide Texas’ young people with an opportunity to develop a sense of world citizenship and an understanding of another cul ture. They will learn to com municate in another language and also about agricultural and manufacturing industries; foods and their preparation; music, songs, dances, games, sports and other arts and crafts, he said. But perhaps most important, they will learn what living is like in another country. The Texas Agricultural Exten sion Service specialist added that some of the young people will have an opportunity to work with Peace Corps volunteers and local Extension Service people in con ducting youth education pro grams in the high Andes country of Peru. It is hoped, he said, that many of the visitors will actually live with host families. The experience is expected to give the young Texans, between 17 and 19 years of age, a new prospective of their own prob lems. The trip will give them an opportunity to use the knowl edge gained in school and apply it to a real-life situation, Schlutt said.

Woman On Research Vessel Finds Seasickness Problem An attractive seasick woman ranks as one of the least likely prospects for a Ph.D. degree in oceanography from Texas A&M. But there she is, determined Constance Karpinski, a former high school teacher standing mid night watch on the university’s research vessel in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Miss Karpinski is one of three women working toward doctorate degrees in the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University. Although A&M has a male to female ratio of about 16 to 1, the department probably has a better percentage than other institutions across the United States. Others at A&M are Miss Lela Jeffrey, a researcher in chemical oceanography, and Mrs. Linda Pequegnat, wife of Oceanogra phy Prof. Dr. Willis Pequegnat. What’s the attraction of ocean ography ? “I love science and I love to be outdoors at the same time,” ex plained 27-year-old Connie Kar pinski. There certainly are problems for the former high school teacher: ‘T GET SEASICK. I nearly die the first day out but then it’s all right. I’ve tried all the cures but I don’t think anything works,” she continued. Miss Jeffrey has taken a num ber of cruises aboard the Texas A&M Research Vessel Alaminos and Karpinski has completed two voyages. The last time they shared quarters. Mrs. Peque gnat must stay land bound most of the time because of the chil dren, but she aids her husband in biological research. Life aboard an oceanographic research vessel like the Alaminos isn’t necessarily in the luxury class line. “We’re there for a reason,” emphasized Connie. “That ship costs $18 a minute to run.” The 180-foot converted cargo ship is crammed full of scientific gear which needs constant mon itoring. Miss Karpinski put in her hours on watch with the others during cruises. “I WAS DOING some biologi cal work. I ran salinities (meas urements of the salt content of sea water)) and kept watch — the 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. ones,” she recalled. “There is a precision depth re corder (PDR) and you have to mark cruise time, date and posi tion. You take bathythermo graph readings regularly. And we have to record weather data every hour,” Connie pointed out. In addition to the readings, she took measurements relating to her own biological work. “I’m interested in the use of phytoplankton (tiny marine plant life) as water mass indicators,” she said. “Certain great masses of water are formed in different places around the globe — one “Frankly, I don’t see any dif ference working on a ship and in working in a laboratory. I know all the people and it’s the same,” Miss Jeffrey assured. “I GUESS A lot of men would object to a woman — they’d have to watch their language, but I haven’t had any problems,” Con nie said, adding “there always seems to be someone looking aft er me. You do get a lot of at tention.” She has responded in a femi nine way: “I baked a pineapple upsidedown cake and made pop corn and other things for the example is “North Atlantic Deep Water.” In view oof that crusty, old tradition of the sea that women have no place aboard ship, how do they get along ? men.” How did her family react to her oceanographic career? “My mother worries,” Connie said. “But I take movies and they’re all interested. I keep sort of a log. My mother did get upset when I told her I had filled out forms for the Eltanin cruise and that I had requested to be buried at sea.” Friends were concerned too. A PRIEST FRIEND sent me a note: “Be careful. You know what men are like after they’ve been out on a ship for a long time.” Mrs. Pequegnat notes some work aboard ship is physically difficult, and that few American research vessels are equipped with women in mind. She understands Russia may have quite a number of women oceanographers. “One man and wife team in Russia has published scientific papers. He does plankton work and she does benthic or sea bot tom organism work,” she said. Mrs. Pequegnat and her hus band regularly work together. “I’m assisting him in a bio fouling project off Panama,” she noted. “Identification of organ isms is quite a problem.” In her degree research, Mrs. Pequegnat is studying bathy- pelagic plankton — a shrimp-like crustacean which lives below tb light in the ocean. LELA JEFFREY TWICE ta taken cruises to the Antarcti aboard the National Sciew | Foundation ship Eltanin. This is what Miss Karpinski L‘ | looking forward to this summei The ship will be cruising 60 day; and will stop in Australia. Oddly, Connie won’t be tb only woman aboard. “I understand there’s an Ans tralian woman scientist goinj along and we’ll probably shan facilities,” she said. The 266-foot Eltanin will b cruising the waters of Antarctin in that continent’s winterland. “I’ve been reading about to severe storms they’ve sometime! had with 100 - mile - an-hot! winds.” i What about oceanography as: career for women ? “I think it is particularly i good field for them in biologr and chemistry,” Connie replied “And there is a lot of work wor.- en can do ashore, too. I see ill reason women can’t do ocean ; ography. It can be fascinatia! ( in a lot of ways.” Certainly, it’s not all work. 0i| one cruise of the Alaminos, when I the ship sailed from Galveston te [ Progresso, Mexico, Connie ani \ Lela were in a party which rent- ' ed a car and drove inland to vie* | Indian ruins. And then there was the time Connie was taking a sun nap i« her bathing* suit and woke to find her beachrobe flying from to mast of the Alaminos. Peace Corps Needs Farmers, Other Agriculture Graduates The Peace Corps needs farmers and agriculture graduates this summer, notes Don Singerman, one of three PC recruiters visit ing Texas A&M this week. While Singerman will be con centrating on agricultural stu dents, Sam Hunt and Lois Brad shaw will be providing informa tion and interviewing and testing other students for general Peace Corps service. All three are former PC volunteers. They will man a booth in the Memorial Student Center throughout the week and also show a brief movie depicting Peace Corps training at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Room 202 of the YMCA. Members of the new Texas A&M Peace Corps Club are as sisting the recruiters on their current visit. Singerman, officially desig nated a PC agricultural coordi nator, said hundreds of appli cants are being sought to fill requests from 10 countries for agricultural and agricultural co operative volunteers. Volunteers receive intensive language and specialized skill training that is consistent with host country needs, Singerman added. Volunteers bound for India, for example, will concentrate during training on poultry breeding and management needs in Mysore state, southern India. They will assist Indians with feed analysis, poultry pathology and disease control, incubating and breeding. Another training group bound for Venezuela will concentrate on agrarian reform. They will as sist new Venezuelan landowners with rice, com and vegetable production. Others will work with 4-H groups raising chick ens, rabbits and pigs and grow ing vegetables. Volunteers assigned to Kenys will work in range management, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, dairy science, agron omy, horticulture and farm mechanization. Kenya also has requested Volunteer geologists with experience in hydrology, well drilling or water explora tion. Other agriculture training pro grams scheduled this summer will result in Volunteers assigned to Micronesia, Morocco, Bolivia, Somalia, Ecuador, Iran and Afghanistan. Two Named Math Contest Winners Luther F. Johnson III, sopho more electrical engineering ma jor of San Antonio and James M. Glanville, freshman electrical engineering major of Houston, captured the first place spots in the annual Mathematics Contests conducted recently by the Mathe matics Department. Both were awarded engraved gold wrist watches. Second place in the freshman contest, with an award of $15, went to Clifford S. Kirk, chemi cal engineering student from Houston. Charles U. Soncrant, aerospace engineering major from San Antonio, won the third freshman prize of $10.
