include short orders.
The A&M course is owned by

In addition to the Alaminos, the
university operates the “Texas

oceanliner used as a training ship
for its Texas Martime Academy,
and a 65-foot Chris Craft Con
stellation which has been trans
formed into a pollution research
vessel. The Chris Craft was re
cently presented by Houston oil

Texas A&M, only institution in
the state with sea-going capabili

two new oceanographic research
vessels under a special ship-build
ing program proposed by the Na
vy for the early 1970s.
Formal ceremonies for presen

pany officials include R. H. Park
