TOWN TALK u ft ffl BREAD 4-*1 2 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS 200 E. 24th STREET DOWNTOWN 3516 TEXAS AVENUE RIDGECREST Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, December Id,I To Prevent Oil Spillage Study Begun On Container Texas A&M is initiating a broad-based research program to develop techniques for containing oil spillage such as occurred ear lier this year off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. Engineering Dean Fred Benson said the university will conduct the project under a $285,000 con tract awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard to Wilson Industries, Inc., an oil-oriented firm based in Houston. J. L. H. (Red) Rountree, gen eral manager of Wilson Indus tries’ Marine Systems Division, said the Coast Guard award cov ers a six-month period for the concept and model development phase of the overall project. Subsequent phases, in which Wilson Industries and the uni versity hope to participate, in volve prototype development and tests at sea and, finally, con struction of full-scale contain ment devices. Benson said the first-phase contract calls for development of both lightweight and heavy-duty systems for oil spillage contain ment. In addition to stopping the spread of oil resulting from rare seepage in offshore drilling op erations of the Santa Barbara type, the dean said the system must also cope with incidents such as occurred when the tank er Torrey Canyon broke up off the coast of Scotland two years ago. While the Coast Guard contract was awarded to Wilson Indus tries, Rountree emphasized both the firm and the university joint ly prepared the proposal. Rountree and Benson joined in c By M Assoc PR] citing the endeavor as a pj example of university-infe cooperation. “It is extremely imporu and to the best interest of la A&M and the industries oft| as, to engage in cooperate forts to solve the problems the state and nation," Bea noted. “The educational world aoo dustry should work muchdj together,’’ Rountree agreed, “We asked Texas A&M to in this project because it has necessary engineers, testing cilities and computer capi!i ties,” he added. Dean Benson said the proj officially conducted through Texas Engineering Expetia Station, will be an interdisq nary effort involving at leas 30-member university team, eluding 17 staff members 13 graduate students, as wel several undergraduates. Investigators will beDr.li B. Herbich, head of the Coil and Ocean Engineering Diris of the Civil Engineering Depa ment, and Dr. Harry Sweet sociate professor of median engineering. Benson said the proposal coordinated by Dr. Charles Rodenberger, professor of k space engineering, who alsoi participate in the research. Other fields represented lai project, the dean noted, wi petroleum engineering and oca ography. He said the researchers use a variety of university cilities, including wave tanks,i terial testing laboratories i the Data Processing Center, Film, Songsters At Coffee Loft The feature length cartoon version of George Orwell’s “Ani mal Farm” will be shown at 8 p.m. Friday in the Coffee Loft at the North Gate. One in a series of film to be shown by the United Campus Christian Fellowship (UCCF), “Animal Farm” was filmed in Great Britain in 1954 and follows the pattern of Orwell’s book, de picting a society of animals who have overthrown their masters (people) and set up a socialistic society. At its conclusion, a panel con sisting of Dr. Russ Thompson, Bernie O’Neil, and Pat Decker, each with an economics, political science or English background, will discuss, the film and their reactions to it. Following the film and discus sion, will be a performance by The 3rd Generation, folk balla- deers. They will sing traditional folk music, from the Civil War to love; as well as contemporary folk music, from a man whol • only 25 minutes left to a e who doesn’t like airplane ride Admission for the evening* be 50 cents to help defer I rental cost of the film. Other films planned are “l Olive Trees of Justice,” on I day, Jan. 9, and “The Golden! of Comedy,” on Friday, Jan. In “The Olive Trees of Justifl a simple man’s dream of hand on the heritage of his ] past to his sons is merciles contrasted with the reality oil Algerian Colonial War. , discussion on the film andt reaction it brings will also! place at the conclusion. The film, “Golden Age Comedy,” brings back to lifest* of the silent era, Mack SenK and Hal Roach, Laurel & Hari Will Rogers, Ben Turpin, n Harry Langdon.
