THE BATTALION
A&M’s Oceanography Depart
ment is tentatively scheduled to
receive two new research vessels
as part of a ship-building pro
gram proposed by the Navy’s
oceanographic division, an
nounced Dr. Richard A. Geyer,
department head.
Dr. Geyer said Rear Adm. O.
D. Waters, oceanographer of the
Navy, notified him the Navy ten
tatively plans to build six ocean
ographic ships for lease to priv
ate and university oceanographic
research laboratories in the early
1970’s.
A&M is scheduled to receive
the program’s first ship in June,
1971, and a second in October,
1972. Geyer said the two ships
will cost approximately $2 mil
lion, including equipment.
Other institutions scheduled to
receive one vessel each are

Scripps Institution of Oceanogra

GEYER SAID the ships will
be approximately 165 feet long,
have 950-ton displacement for
300 gross tons, cruise at 14
knots and have a range of ap
proximately 5,000 miles.
A&M, the state’s only institu
tion with sea-going capabilities,
currently operates the R/V Ala-
minos, a 180-foot vessel laden
with research equipment. Geyer
said the Alaminos will be retired
following delivery of the new
ships.
A&M also operates the 15,000-
ton Texas Clipper, a converted
oceanliner primarily used for
training by the university’s Tex
as Maritime Academy.
Geyer said addition of the two
new ships will enable A&M to
intensify its research work in
the Gulf of Mexico and Carib
bean.
for everyone to get adequate re
search time at sea with only one
ship.”
A&M’s Oceanography Depart
ment, organized in 1949, is the
nation's fourth-oldest academic
department pf oceanography. It
has devoted more than $13 mil
lion to research and awarded 160
advanced degrees.
Earlier this year, A&M was
one of six institutions in the na
tion selected by the National Sci
ence Foundation for Sea Grant
Institutional Support. The uni
versity received a $475,000 grant
for first-year operations to de
velop a marine resources pro
gram along the Gulf of Mexico.
LAST MONTH A&M dedicat
ed its Mitchell Campus at Gal
veston, a 100-acre site which will
house the Texas Maritime Acad
emy, Marine Laboratory and
other oceanographic installa
tions. All A&M ships will be
berthed at the new facility.

“The Boston Strangler”
Herein lies the strange, ter

Tony Curtis plays DeSalvo, a
quiet, ordinary furnace-repair

Curtis plays the most dramatic
role of his career. His perform

George Kennedy, who played
opposite Paul Newman in “Cool
Hand Luke” and won an Acad
emy Award, is a realistic-enough
looking Boston police detective
investigating the murders com
mitted by DeSalvo. Henry Fon
da plays the man who took the
reins of the Strangler murder
cases, and who eventually
watched the withdrawal of De
Salvo as the Boston Strangler
was finally revealed. Fonda is
as good in this role as he is in
all; make your own choice.
THERE IS no real plot or
screenplay to this film, as it fol
lows the events chronicled by
Gerold Frank in his best-selling
non-fiction work, “The Boston
Strangler.” So there is no sur
prise in the end, as we have
come to expect from so many
big-money sophistications. De
Salvo is chased and caught as his
passion for women finally is un
leashed and what little control
was in him vanishes.
Two news magazines discredit
this effort to record a bad piece
of Boston homicidal history. And
it would be easy enough to pan
it, I guess, if all you considered
was the way it strayed peri
odically from the straight black-
and-white of Frank, or the tools
used to hold suspense during a
non-fiction work, or even, yes,
even the way it depicted the
hackneyed newsman and nitty-
picky newscasters. So be it, if
they want to pan it.
BUT THEY’VE either missed
or disregarded the warning at
the beginning of the film, which
says it is based on fact. They
apparently did not see or don’t
acknowledge the extraordinary
performance by Curtis as a real
schizophrenic, a tender, pitiable,
human being, ripping to thin
mental shreds on the screen.
As film and cameras are per
fected through lens refinements
and editing and developmental
techniques, so are movies which
include the improvements. So it
is with the “Strangler.” Split
screens provide multiple, separate
images by which the viewer is
made to concentrate on the hap
pening. Split screens were used
in “The Thomas Crown Affair”
with Steve McQueen to show five
different approaches to a bank
robbery. In “The Strangler,”
the technique uses a particular
part of the screen to focus on
one motion, then leads you to
another at the proper time. Fan
tastic.
For Profs and Young Mar-
rieds: it's worth the money for a
babysitter and the ostracism of
the campus to see it.
“Coogan’s Bluff”
Hot Doggies, it’s The Man
With No Name back, this time in
his second big American movie,
after three Italian westerns that
made him famous: “A Fistfull
of Dollars,” “For a Few Dollars
More,” and “The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly.”
While still waiting for his first
major American western, “Hang
’Em High,” and after watching
the DeSalvo epic, we caught this
one in a sneak.
Clint Eastwood is the biggest
discovery since Hud and Tarzan.
He’s the mythical, tall, hard,
handsome stranger, Arizona-Tex-
as deppity sherff, rolled into one.
He walks brown-booted and
mean into this movie, based on
plainsman, dusty-type, Stetson-
ned, deputy who is given the
task of extraditing a prisoner
from New Yark Citty.
SAYS COOGAN, of the whole
smoggy scene: “All this used to
be woods and plains and rivers,
until people came along and
messed it up.”
So, as a kind of primeval re
venge, and in an attempt to save
face and prisoner, Eastwood as
the lanky Coogan starts messing
the citty-types up.
I mean, he raises Cain, Abel,
and LSD with the hippies, shoot
ing pool in the fashion needed to
protect his handicap. His handi
cap being that he’s the greatest
thing since Cheerios and Paul
Newman in the action-adventure
flicks, and exudes so much sex
appeal that women cut out his
movie ads and paste them on
their respective vanities.
Italians have once again, after
their 1492 landing, discovered
the hottest property in the indus
try. Sheer escape entertainment
and great fun.
