Land Given TFS
For Outdoor Lab
THE BATTALION
Thursday, June 19, 1969
College Station, Texas
Page 5
A tract of land to be used for
conservation education, research,
and as an outdoor laboratory in
the forest-related sciences, has
been given to the Texas Forest
Service, a part of the Texas
A&M System.
The 29-acre tract of forest
land is a gift of John H. and Lo-
Reese S. Pollard of San Marcos,
Texas. It was dedicated Mon
day.
In accepting the gift, Paul R.
Kramer, director of the Texas
Forest Service, said the land
would be known as Dimora, An
Adjunct of the W. Goodrich
Jones State Forest. “The need
for outdoor laboratories where
conservation education can be
studied is growing. This prop
erty is well suited to the pur
pose for which it is dedicated,”
Kramer said.
The well-timbered land is lo
cated 2 miles south of South
Highway 105, on the R a b o n
Chapel Road in Montgomery
County and is 11 miles north of
the Jones State Forest.
Some 14 years ago, while re
siding in nearby Houston, the
Pollards purchased the land and
used it as a weekend retreat.
Each trip to “Dimora,” as they
affectionately called their coun
try estate, trees were pruned or
shrubs planted. Eventually, a
small block building was erected
as their home-away-from-home,
a water well was drilled and
later, a work shelter added.
When Pollard, a consulting en
gineer, specializing in sulfur and
salt mining, was working in Lou
isiana, he often brought back
specimen tree seedlings of cy
press, maple, oaks and other
plants which were planted at
Dimora. Later, foot trails were
cleared, and Mrs. Pollard planted
flowering azealeas and japonicas
along their borders.
As is true of any labor of love,
the Pollards put a lot of them
selves into their retreat but
when they moved to San Marcos,
the trips to Dimora became less
and less frequent. When Mr.
Pollard finally retired, they de
cided that Dimora would not be
sold but instead should be given
to an organization that would
keep it intact and develop it for
its natural beauty and usefulness
as a conservation laboratory.
Ik Church..For a Fuller Lile..For You..
HURRY UP and
Highways, superhighways, turnpikes, freeways, express
ways—they crisscross America, leading in every imaginable
direction. And, they get you there so fast, you are past the right
exit before you know it. We live in such a speed-oriented world
that, when we are not working, we feel we must "hurry up and
relax.” At times we even feel guilty when we are not busy
about something.
We don’t really like our foolish pace. We speak longingly
of peace of mind and quietude, and we take tranquilizers by the
ton. We search frantically ... on vacations, on "lost weekends,”
on "fun activities” . . . but tranquility is hard to find.
Perhaps we are seeking too hard. Perhaps tranquility is not
to be sought. Rather, isn’t it what happens when you are at
peace with yourself, no matter the circumstances?
You can be at peace with yourself only when you are at
peace with God. He is the very center of your being, and His
peace is freely given when you accept it.
Accept this great gift of God in the very best place of all—
His Church. .

EE’s And Oceanographers
Combine To Communicate
Electrical engineers at Texas
A&M University are experi
menting with an underwater
acoustic communications system
which could be a boon to ocean
ographers, fishermen and drill
ers of off-shore oil wells.
The system works on the same
principle as sonar, used to meas
ure distance under water just as
radar does in the air.
“When you say ‘sonar’ the av
erage person gets scared away,”
observes Dr. Stephen Riter, prin
cipal investigator of Texas
A&M’s acoustic communications
program, “but there’s a lot of
practical applications which could
benefit persons associated with
the sea.”
The beauty of the system be
ing studied under the universi
ty’s Sea Grant Program is its
simplicity, the former NASA en
gineer maintains. He hopes to
have a working model within a
year.
“We are simply taking equip
ment that is available, along
with techniques which are well
known, and modifying them to
solve problems that people
thought were unsolvable,” he
adds.
Riter’s first model will be
extremely simple in operational
concept, while its electronics
will be fairly complex and high
ly compact. He plans to con
nect small integrated-circuit
transmitters and receivers to
sonar transducers, which change
electrical energy into mechani
cal energy and vice versa.
The mechanical energy, Riter
explains, creates a sound which
causes vibrations to radiate
through the water to another
unit which changes the mechan
ical energy back to electrical.
Initial transmissions will be
simple codes based on length of
time between vibrations.
Riter foresees the first appli
cation of underwater acoustic
communications in transmission
of data from sensors and other
equipment on or near the ocean
floor to a surface vessel. The
system also could be used for
communications between two
underwater units.
Present equipment will allow
underwater transmissions of ap
proximately five miles. Riter

the system. Simplicity is the key to the system’s success.

Bryan, Texas
believes the maximum under
water range is about 10 miles.
He notes, however, distance could
be increased by relaying the
underwater signal to a buoy
equipped to transmit via radio.
Acoustic communications sys
tems in their simplest form, Rit
er points out, could be highly
beneficial t o oceanographers
making deep-sea tests and to
fishermen in locating schools of
fish and transmitting informa
tion about the status of under
water nets. The technique also
has application in the operation
of well heads in oil exploration
on the ocean floor.
Texas A&M’s Oceanography
Department, which conducts num
erous tests in the Gulf of Mexico
with its research ship, the R/V
Alaminos, is cooperating in the
acoustics program.
As the state of the art im
proves, Riter sees no reason whji
the system could not accommo
date voice transmissions and, al
least in principle, television.
“If you are willing to spend
the money,” the Texas A&M re
searcher observes, “you . can ^
transmit anything acoustically
that you can electromagnetic-
ally.”
Riter predicts acoustic com
munications will be an important
factor as man develops capabili
ties to live in the sea. He be
lieves it will be as much an inte
gral part of development of
underwater habitats as struc
tural problems.
He hopes' there will be as much
attention directed to development
of a sea program during the
next 10 years as there has been
in space within the past decade.
