Geological debates on the his
tory of the Gulf of Mexico are
expected to be settled by scien
tists during the Leg Ten cruise
of the Deep Sea Drilling Project,
scheduled to start Wednesday
from Galveston
Co-chief scientists Dr. William
R. Bryant of A&M and Dr. J.
Lamar Worzel of Columbia Uni
versity anticipate the new drill
ings will furnish a framework for
the stratigraphic history of the
Gulf and settle debates on the
Sigsbee Basin.
Aspects of the origin and de
velopment of the Gulf of Mexico
will be intepreted from examina
tion of sediment cores retrieved
from 15 to 20 drilling sites dur
ing the 48-day expedition.
Scripps Institution of Ocean
ography, University of Cali
fornia, San Diego, is managing
institution for the Deep Sea Drill
ing Project under a $34.8 million
contract with the National
Science Foundation.
The project is part of the
NSF’s National Ocean Sediment
Coring Program.
Dr. William A. Nierenberg,
Scripps director and principal in
vestigator for Deep Sea Drilling
Project, emphasized scientists
from the Gulf Universities Re
search Corp. (GURC) and Joint
Institutions for Deep Earth Sam
pling (JOIDES) will also partici
pate in Leg Ten.
Dr. Bryant, associate professor
of oceanography, reports the
scientists will be aboard the re
search vessel Glomar Challenger,
owned and operated by Global
Marine, Inc., Los Angeles, and
under contract to Scripps.
Dr. Bryant expects Leg Ten to
furnish important information on
the Gulf’s history. Included is
data on whether the Sigsbee Ba
sin, located northwest of the Yu
catan Peninsula, is an oceanic
area.
The nature of the bounding
scarps, whether a salt layer un
derlies the whole basin and infor
mation about the history, extent
and origins of the salt dome pro
vince with its associated petro
leum and sulphur accumulations
will also be examined, the scien
tist observed.
Dr. Bryant received the Ph.D.
degree in geology from the Uni
versity of Chicago in 1965. His
special fields are geology and
geophysics of the Gulf of Mexico
and the geotechnical properties of
marine sediments.
Currently, Dr. Bryant is prin
cipal investigator on an Office of
Naval Research project dealing
with geotechnical properties of
marine sediments and geology of
the Gulf.
He is also co-investigator for
the U. S. Geological Survey’s
project dealing with the Gulf’s
geology. A Sea Grant project at
A&M entitled “Wave Energy and
the Shear Strength of Sedi
ments,” is also under Dr. Bryant’s
direction.
Dr. Worzel, who was cruise co
chief scientist on Leg One in Au
gust and September, 1968, is one
of the nation’s foremost geophysi-

in the Memorial Student Center,
announced Bettye Kahan, presi
dent of the Bryan-College Station
chapter of the National Secre
taries Association, International.
Mrs. Kahan is administrative
secretary to Dr. John C. Calhoun,
A&M vice president for programs.
The day-long conference, which
draws about 100 top secretaries
yearly, is being sponsored by the
Bryan-College Station chapter of
the organization.
The theme for this year’s semi
nar is “Now is the Time.”
Dr. Rita B. Huff and Charles
Neilson will be the featured
speakers.
Dr. Huff, professor of business
administration at Sam Houston
State University, will speak on
the topic, “Are We Ever Really
Ready?” Dr. Huff holds certifi
cates qualifying her as both a
Certified Public Accountant (CP-
A) and Certified Public Secretary
(CPS).
Neilson is senior personnel ad

Save Your Boss’s Job.”
The
Octoputer
RCAs many-tentacled computer does time sharing plus regular computing.
It’s a generation ahead of its major competitor.
Once there were only monster
computers that did big batch
jobs like payrolls.
Then came the whirling
dervishes of time sharing that
let a lot of people work at once.
Now there’s a new kind of
creature that does time sharing
and batch work together. So
lots of people can use it —
efficiently.
It’s the Spectra 70/46.The
Octoputer.There’s nothing
else quite like it on earth
or under the sea.
The Octoputer’s arms are long
and strong. It sits in the
middle of your company and
reaches helping hands out in
all directions. Suddenly, your
company works harder. More
of your people use the com
puter-solving more problems,
finding more facts, writing
more programs.
And it does your big batch
jobs in its spare time.
The Octoputer does a real
armload of work for a hand
ful of change. Check the
bills from your time
sharing services.
See if it’s not more efficient to
do the same work on your own
Octoputer. And get batch
processing, too. One
more thing.The Octo
puter concentrates
on remote computing
because that’s what
you’re going to need
—that’s where the
industry is going.
We got there first
because communications is what
RCA is famous for. It’ll keep us
ahead of our competition.
It can keep you ahead
I f of yours. Step up to the
Octoputer and shake
hands hands hands
hands hands hands...

cists. He has been a leader in in
troducing underwater photogra
phy, continuous soundings, long-
range sound transmission, seismic
refraction in shallow water and
deep oceans, gravity measure
ments on surface vessels at sea,
reflection profiling and satellite
navigation.
His techniques have now been
generally adopted as standard in
oceanography. Dr. Worzel is as
sociate director of Columbia Uni
versity’s Lament - Doherty Geo
logical Observatory. He has par
ticipated in 35 sea expeditions,
acting as chief scientist on 27
cruises. He has studied exten
sively the sediments and struc
tural history of the Gulf.
Initial planning for the Deep
Sea Drilling Project was done by
the JOIDES group and advice re
garding scientific planning is
provided by panels whose mem
bers are broadly representative of
the nation’s universities, govern
mental agencies and industrial
organizations.
A&M is a member of GURC,
formed in 1965 as a non-profit
organization oriented to research
education and public service.
There are 17 institutional mem
bers, one associate member and
21 advisory members with head
quarters in Galveston.
GURC’s objectives are directed
toward the Gulf of Mexico and
environmental programs that can
be handled more effectively
through coordinated group action
rather than unilateral action by
single institutions.
