Officers Elected In FFA Chapter Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, May 15, 1969 THE BATTALION SNOOPING AROUND THE MOON Apollo 10 commander Thomas P. Stafford strikes an interesting contrast with the comic- strip dog “Snoopy” in front of a lunar surface map at the Kennedy Space Center. Staf ford and his two Apollo 10 copilots, Eugene A. Cernan and John W. Young, have chosen “Snoopy” to be the radio call code name for the Lunar Module landing craft Stafford and Cernan are to fly to within nine miles of the moon’s surface. The command ship, piloted alone by Young during the rendezvous, will have the call name “Charlie Brown.” Launch is scheduled for Sunday, May 18.

MSC Social Director Resigns After 28 Years At A&M Pueblo’s Executive Officer Resigns From Navy 4 Stagings Left For ‘Everyman’ ST. LOUIS <A>> _ The former executive officer of the USS Pueblo said Wednesday he is re signing from the Navy, con vinced he has no future in the service. “My career has been abort ed,” said Lt. Edward R. Murphy, 30, of San Diego, Calif, second in command when the intelligence ship was seized by North Ko reans. Murphy indicated at a news conference he felt Cmdr. Lloyd M. Bucher, captain of the Pueblo, had been given considerations Taste Something Good Free Dorm Delivery Fried Chicken From The Chicken House North Gate — 846-4111 that Murphy did not receive. Bucher was assigned to the Na vy’s post graduate school at Monterey, Calif. Murphy was assigned to the fleet antisubma rine school at San Diego. “This was announced,” Mur phy said in his letter of resigna tion dated Tuesday, “after he (Bucher) was recommended for general court-martial, and, puz- zlingly, just within 24 hours aft er Rear Adm. Donald D. Chap man, JAGO, deputy judge advo cate general told him in my pres ence that such a billet would not be considered.” Murphy held a news confer ence at the Principia, a private school in St. Louis County. He is a graduate of the school and its college, Principia College, in nearby Elsah, 111. “Everyman,” the Aggie Players production with a deeper message than most theatrical pieces, will be staged four more times after tonight’s presentation. A medieval treatment of mor tality and ethics given a modern conveyance, the play should “make people think about the life they’re leading and, perhaps, the kind of life they should be lead ing,” “Everyman” director Bob Wenck said. C. K. Esten, Aggie Players director, noted it is one of the group’s longest-running produc tions of recent years. The first performance was May 5, he point ed out. The play will run at 8 p.m. in Guion Hall through Saturday. Mrs. Ann Keel has resigned as Memorial Student Center social director after 28 years’ service to A&M students. Member of the MSC staff since the center was dedicated in 1950, she attained “encyclopedic knowl edge” in making arrangements for conferences, short courses, banquets, receptions, student meetings and various other func tions that take place in the build ing, according to J. Wayne Stark, director. The veteran MSC staff mem ber retired early to travel with her husband, Prof. Loyd Keel. He retired last year from the English Department faculty. SHE WILL be succeeded by Mrs. Charles J. Keese, wife of the director of the Texas Trans portation Institute’s Highway Research Center. “Through the years, Mrs. Keel developed expertise in handling and hanging art and sculpture,” Stark added, which enabled A&M to obtain many valuable art ob jects for MSC display. Mrs. Keel worked closely with various student committees, especially in the contemporary arts area. “She booked thousands of meetings, parties and art shows and ordered thousands of flower arrangements for banquets, stu dent dinners and receptions,” the director commented. “She al ways had a flair for setting up special dinners in which her knowledge of flowers, greenery and candelabra arrangements was invaluable.” AS BOOKING agent for the Office of Continuing Education, she probably knew more person nel of the various departments, institutes and services than any other person on campus. The Southwestern Louisiana University student union direc tor, Charles Cosper, worked un der her supervision as an A&M student. A Rogers High School gradu ate, Mrs. Keel first worked for the railroad commission in Aus tin. She came here in 1941, working first in the Placement Office for W. R. Horsley. In September, 1946, she went to the old Bryan field (known then and now as the annex) as recreational direc tor of the student center. She ran the “miniature MSC” for freshmen located at the annex for an official later to become A&M’s president, Dr. M. T, Harrington. Mr. and Mrs. Keel are devoted bridge players and have been playing weekly in the MSC for over a decade with the Brazos Duplicate Bridge group, Start noted. “When they are not traveling, Mrs. Keel can probably be found every Wednesday night in tire ‘C’ playing bridge,” he observed. ‘'Sea Vets ’ Make Findings In Gulf Bacterial Disease Texas A&M veterinarians op erating under the National Sci ence Foundation’s fast-growing Sea Grant Program have made “several significant findings” on bacterial diseases, announced Dr. L. C. Grumbles. “We don’t want to give the impression, however, that we have all of the answers,” he add ed. “We are just getting start ed.” Grumbles heads the veterinary microbiology department. Re search is being conducted jointly with Dr. Donald H. Lewis, an as sistant professor. “It is the intent of this re search program to acquire knowl edge of new disease entities and develop methods of prevention and treatment of these diseases in anticipation of large scale pro duction of marine species as a new source of protein,” Grum bles pointed out.

A&M veterinarians were called- in when a menhaden “die-off" a great number of fish found dead — was discovered in the Gulf last November. “It was investigated and the probable causative agent has been isolated and studied,” remarked Lewis. “The cause appears to be a bacterium that has not beet described previously.” The disease was reproduced in an A&M laboratory. Fish ex posed to it experienced a 100 percent fatality rate. “Because menhaden are such at important economic species,” Grumbles added, “the defining of specific infectious diseases in them is an important finding since this is the first step to ward the possible solution of the problem.” “WE’RE NOT prophesying we have found the whole answer, but we do feel it is a contributing factor,” Lewis continued. Menhaden, found along the en tire Gulf Coast, are used pri marily for industrial fish oils and meals as animal feed. Grumbles and Lewis also have isolated and characterized a sec ond bacterial organism causing skin lesions on several species, in cluding mullet and croakers. “It also appears to be an or ganism that has not been re ported previously,” Lewis said, Skin lesions, commonly re ferred to as “fin and tail rot," is a bacterial infection that causes death of the local cells. Affected fish become debilitated. SINCE JANUARY, veterinar ians have experimentally trans mitted the condition to laboratory fish by contact exposure, there by establishing the infectious na ture of the condition. “This condition has been rec ognized for some time,” Grum bles said. “There are several conditions that have been asso ciated with — especially witk fresh water life — but not salt water fish.” Salt water research is a relatively new area. “We can’t say other types of bacteria don’t cause this condi tion, but the bacteria we discov ered is capable of causing the disease,” he continued. A third finding has been made on shrimp in the Gulf and under aquaculture for a condition known as “cottony shrimp.” “TWO PROTOZOAN parasites causing this condition have been identified,” Lewis said. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time one of the parasites has been reported in shrimp."
