Announcement of the attend- ily of whatal§ nce fi & ure was made hy Dick 'otticary, State Fair staff mem- >er who coordinated the exhibit vith Mrs. Leatha Miloy, Sea Grant Program editor at A&M. "Oceanus,” the Latin name ich many scholars believe more appropriate for our planet ;han Earth because our surface s 71 percent water, is located in the New Dimensions Pavilion. The exhibit will remain open to the public through the last day jf the Fair, October 25. It headlines the theme of this year’s State Fair, “Exposition of the Seven Seas.” Displays prepared by A&M es pecially for “Oceanus” include a 30-foot panorama of the food chain of the ocean. Scale model fish were created in papier-mache by Mrs. Rosemary Boykin of the Sea Grant Program and Jack Grant of the Oceanography De partment. These hang in mobile fashion against an underwater backdrop created by noted set designer Peter Wolf. The Texas Agricultural Exten sion Service, which includes a mariculture program supported by the Sea Grant Program, pre pared a shrimp farming and har vesting exhibit for “Oceanus.” The United States Navy also - - Ilf iai has contributed many large dis plays, including the Ocean Van, a 40-foot traveling exhibit which tells the story of oceanography. Ten other models and displays are provided by the Navy, includ ing a two-thirds scale mock-up of the Sea Cliff, a submarine which Fair visitors may enter and “drive” to get the feeling of underwater exploration. Contributions from the United States Department of the Interior on marine geology and fish- protein concentrate are included in “Oceanus.” The Interior De partment also joins with General Electric in providing a cut-away model of Tektite II, the under water laboratory which received national attention this summer when five women researchers lived and worked aboard it for two weeks. The National Science Founda tion has contributed a large ex hibit on the Glomar Challenger, a deep-sea drilling project. A map of the Atlantic Ocean floor has been contributed by the Na tional Geographic Society. Students from various univer sities around the nation have cre ated futuristic models of under water cities, homes and indus tries, all made available through Armco Steel Company. Models of drilling vessels and rigs are on loan to the exhibit from The Offshore Company, Dresser Industries, Wilson Indus tries, Le Tourneau, Humble Oil Company, and Compagnie Fran- caise des Petroles through ar rangements made by the Energy Research and Education Founda tion of Houston. Also included in the 30,000- square-foot pavilion is a working model of how sunken vessels are salvaged, created by Murphy Pa cific Salvage Company. Lawrence Electronics has provided models of underwater detection equip ment and skindiving equipment is on loan from the Hewitt- Robins Company.

Instructors at A&M’s Firemen Training School have successfully tested a water pumping system which may revolutionize fire fighting tactics. Chief Instructor Henry D. Smith explained the system in cludes an experimental truck pumper, 6-inch hose and manifold to distribute 1,750 gallons of water per minute to seven 2 1 /^- inch lines. The equipment is being tested at the Brayton Fire Training Field on the campus. The Firemen Training School is a division of the Engineering Extension Serv ice. “This system is designed to get a large quantity of water to fires where there is a potential large loss,” Smith said. “Included would be shopping centers, apartment complexes, in dustrial warehouses, lumberyards, schools and churches where a great volume of water is needed to control or prevent spreading of the fire,” he stated. Smith said the manifold was built from Firemen Training School specifications by Tarrant County volunteer fire depart ments. Water coming from the 6-inch hose is distributed to seven 2%- inch lines for any combination of hand lines or deluge guns. Each of the hand hoses can place 250 gallons per minute on the fire source, Smith pointed out. A&M had to purchase the 6- inch hose from West Germany. The large hose is not manufac tured in the United States. Smith said this is the first time it has been used in the U. S. Special couplings were added to the hose by the instructors. Smith said the truck can auto matically drop the manifold near the fire, run the 6-inch hose out and connect the truck pumper to a hydrant up to 1,100 feet away from the fire scene. The experimental truck pumper was delivered in September, 1969. It pumped an average 2,350 gal lons per minute in tests and re ceived a 1,750 gallons per minute rating by the Underwriters Labo ratory. Most modern fire trucks pump a maximum of 750 gallons per minute, Smith noted. The truck was designed by the Firemen Training School staff and representatives from 35 Tex as fire departments. One man can operate the pump er, which has the capability of producing more gallons per min ute than three average trucks. Instead of the normal 2-inch intake and outlet connections, the A&M pumper has a 6-inch intake and 6-inch outlet feeding the 6- inch hose. Smith reports there was no loss of pressure from the truck to the manifold during the testing period. Friday deadline to apply for exam Friday is the dealine for stu dents to get applications for the foreign service written exams into the mail to the U. S. State De partment, according to J. M. Nance, History Department Head. Students interested in State Department or U. S. Information Agency career appointments may take the written examination Dec. 5. Dr. Nance said State Department Form DSP-24, avail able at any post office, must be postmarked no later than Friday. The forms and information about qualifications also are available from Dr. Nance in Room 208, Nagle Hall.
