'
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.
