New $80,000 Science Grant THE BATTAUON
Given A&M Grad Student
Thursday, February 13, 1969
College Station, Texas

Both Houses To Consider Bill
An $80,000 National Science
Foundation grant has been
awarded Miss Lela M. Jeffrey of
the Oceanography Department
for chemical study of soluble or
ganics in sea water.
The two-year grant to be ad
ministered through the Research
Foundation will become effective
Saturday.
Kinds, amount and distribu
tion of trace organic compounds
in Gulf of Mexico waters will be
determined by the oceanography
research scientist’s project.
“These compounds — such as
vitamins, amino acids and toxins
— constitute one part per million
or less,” the female oceanogra
pher said.
A&M Graduate Students Awarded
Two American Nuclear Society Prizes
Graduate students won two of
the three prizes awarded for pre
sentations at the joint meeting of
the North Texas Section and
Texas Student branch of the
American Nuclear Society.
Mitty C. Plummer, president of
the Graduate Student Council and
formerly of Odessa, won top hon
ors with a paper entitled “The
Thermo-electric properties of
Molten Salts.”
H. L. Smith of Kalamazoo,
Mich., placed third. His topic was
“Electron Spin Resonance Stud
ies of Gamma Irradiated Plastics
Containing Doped Calcium Sul
fate.”
Both Plummer and Smith are
nuclear engineering Ph.D. candi
dates.
Second place went to T. Cris
well, a North Texas State gradu
ate student.
Featured speaker for the week
end meeting at the University of
Texas at Austin was Dr. Karl P.
Cohen, president of the American
Nuclear Society and vice president
of the General Electric Company.
He discussed the future of nu
clear energy.
A&M’s student delegation was
accompanied by Dr. Robert S.
Wick, nuclear engineering profes
sor and student branch sponsor,
and Dr. James Smathers, assist
ant professor of nuclear engineer
ing.
HER NSF-supported project
will develop and evaluate a meth
od for concentrating the major
portion of the soluble organic
matter to better characterize the
fraction and to determine its
stable carbon isotopes content.
A shipboard pump will b e
utilized to pass 50 to 1,000-gal
lon samples through a charcoal
column to withdraw organic ma
terial. After removal from the
charcoal with solvents, the com
pounds will be analyzed by gas
chromatography and mass spec
trometry to determine molecular
composition, the doctoral candi
date added.
“Some of the project work has
already been done,” Miss Jeffrey
said. “I have about a dozen
samples.”
She estimated three cruises
will be necessary to make the
additional collections.
“THESE WILL be made at
various depths, on the continental
shelf and in the deeper Gulf, for
comparison purposes,” she con
tinued. Differences of natural
organic matter and river-effluent
contaminants will thus be appar
ent.
“Eventually we hope to find
out whether the compounds have
biological effects on living or
ganisms,” Miss Jeffrey said.
Panel Okays Liquor-By-Drink
AUSTIN <•#*> — A Senate com
mittee voted Wednesday to let
Texans have their say on liquor
by the drink, but a high-ranking
Baptist argued that money will
do the talking.
The Constitutional Amendments
Committee approved, 7-4, a pro
posal which would give the legis
lature the power to enact a mixed
drinks bill on a local option basis.
A similar measure was sent to a
House subcommittee Tuesday
night.
If the measure is approved by
the full Senate and House, it will
go on the general election ballot
Nov. 3, 1970.
Voting behind closed doors,
senators confirmed Frank C.
Erwin’s six-year appointment as
a University of Texas regent and
also confirmed two new regents—
Jenkins Garrett of Fort Worth
and Dan Wiliams of Dallas.
Senators are not allowed to tell
the overall vote on confirmations,
but reporters questioned individ
ual senators and came up with an
informal result of 28-3 in favor
of Erwin, an Austin lawyer who
was opposed by many students at
the school.

they want to do,” said Sen. Grady
Hazlewood, Amarillo. He said
there had been trouble at the

“If the people who run that
