Griffiths of A&M has been named to the editorial board of a new publication, the “International Journal of Envir onmental Studies.” Griffiths, meteorology profes sor and climatology specialist, was assigned responsibility for the atmospheric sciences with 10 other representatives of the U. S. including Profs. H. Bronowski and R. Buckminster Fuller. The journal began publication in October. It is published by Gordon and Breach Scientific Publishers, with Prof. J. Rose of Blackburn, England, as editor-in- chief. The journal concentrates on the relationship between man and his environment. It has appeal for social, natural and applied scien- tists, architects, city planners and other professional people. An A&M University ocean ographer takes issue with the popular conception that ocean currents flush the Gulf of Mexi co and therefore contends the semi-enclosed body of water is unsuited for water disposal. Dr. W. E. Pequegnat advanced his theory at the 15th annual “Water for Texas” conference sponsored by A&M’s Water Re sources Institute. Pequegnat said it is particu larly doubtful that the East Gulf Loop Current — though by some authorities to carry enough wa ter to refill the gulf basin in about 30 months — has any sig nificant effect on circulation along the gulf’s western conti nental shelf. “It is on these same shelves that man carries on his competi tive research for oil and seafood and finds a milieu for recreation and a silent receptacle for the wastes that keep his cities clean and his harbors deep,” the pro fessor said. He pointed out the Gulf of Mexico collects runoff, with its loads of sediments and pollut, ants, from Montana to New York and Veracruz to Cuba. While Dr. Pequegnat predicts that gulf dumping will increase, he said that even if it were stopped abruptly this year, it would be at least 1985 before certain contaminants, such as DDT, would be rendered innocu ous. Earlier in the conference, two other professors discussed the effects of water development on ecology of bays, estuaries and river systems. Dr. B. J. Copeland, zoology professor at North Carolina State University, emphasized the char acteristics of coastal streams and the ecology of bays and estuaries are “intimately interrelated.” He said water development at upstream sites usually results in changes of quality and quantity of downstream water. Dr. William J. Clark, A&M biology and wildlife science pro fessor, told conference partici pants that the hydrological cycle — the sequence of evaporation, an - : .v- §m , fa j precipitation and runoff — is one of the most powerful forces shap ing the surface of the planet. “The natural course of events of this cycle in our river sys tems,” Clark reminded, “is an alternation of high water or flood and low water or interflood.” He said, however, that the mag nitude and timing of river flow is “not compatible with many of man’s activities.” “Two of the basic purposes of water development,” Clark not ed, “have been to reduce maxi mum flows to alleviate flood problems and to store water for later release to give higher sus tained flow.” “Impoundments built to accom plish these ends drastically mod ify the long established regi men,” he continued. “Migration is blocked, silt and nutrients are intercepted, the flood plain no longer has an annual increment of water and nutrients and the physical and chemical nature of the water is changed for some distance below the dam.” “If we are to make really com petent decision,” the professor concluded, “the short-term and long-term ecological consequences of our river basin developments must be understood.” Marine Corps recruiters here Three Marine Corps officers will visit A&M this week to ex plain commissioning programs to interested students. The team headed by Capt. R. E. Crane of Austin will operate an information booth in the Memorial Student Center Wednesday through Friday. Crane will be joined by Capt. Bill Rice, also of the Corps’ Aus tin office, and Capt. Gene Hughes of the district office in New Or leans. The trio also will participate in a meeting of the A&M chapter of the Semper Fidelis (Society at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday in Room 146 of the Physics Building. Guest speaker for the open meeting will be 1st. Lt. Michael Coe, who will discuss his exper iences as an infantry officer in Vietnam and present a slide pre sentation. Coe is currently com pleting his degree requirements here. ATTENTION ALL FRESHMEN All Aggieland Pictures must be turned in by DECEMBER 4 COURT’S SADDLERY . . . FOR WESTERN WEAR OR FOR YOUR MARE.
