THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, January 21, 1971 Remote sensing symposium to be first of its kind held Two international scientists will address the “Symposium on Remote Sensing in Marine Biol ogy and Fishery Resources” scheduled at A&M Jan. 25 and 26. The symposium is the first of its kind held in the world. Spon sors are the Remote Sensing Center and Sea Grant Program at A&M with support from the United Nations Fisheries Biology Branch of the Food and Agri culture Organization (FAO) and the U.N. Intergovernmental Oceanogr aphic Commission (IOC).

Main 822-0161 Dr. G. Tomczak, chief of the Ma rine Environment Section, FAO, Rome, Italy, and Dr. Saul Saila of the IOC, Paris, France. Dr. John W. Rouse Jr., Remote Sensing Center director, said the symposium objectives are to bring together investigators ac tive in utilizing remote sensing in marine biology and fisheries, and to provide discussions lead ing to improved use of marine resources. Remote sensing includes aerial infrared photography, radar, me chanical infrared scanning and microwave radiometry. Opening the Monday, Jan. 25, session are Dr. Richard A. Geyer, Oceanography Department head; Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr., Sea Grant Program director, vice president for programs and dean of the College of Geosciences, and Dr. Rouse. America’s only full-time fish veterinarian, Dr. George W. Klontz of the College of Veterina ry Medicine, will speak on “Use of Fish Biological Situations.” Dr. Saila of the IOC and Dr. Karl Szekielda of the Goddard Space Flight Center will also pre sent programs during the final session. Gulf undersea lab planned Planning for a continental shelf laboratory off the Texas coast is underway by a 13-mem ber study committee chaired by Dr. William H. Clayton, associate dean of geosciences. The committee, jointly spon sored by A&M and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Gal veston, was initiated by the Gal veston Chamber of Commerce to plan for a major ocean science and engineering facility in the Western Gulf of Mexico. “Development of a continental shelf laboratory has been a goal of A&M since the publication of the President’s Commission on Marine Resources and Engineer ing Development report in 1969,” Dr. Clayton said. “The Galveston Chamber of Commerce has stimulated recent activity through its long-range planning for development of the State’s marine potential and through its plans for a ‘Texas Tektite’ program,” he continued. The continental shelf labora tory would support a broad pro gram with most of the research activity centered in ocean and environmental science, including pollution and water quality studies. About 30 percent of the pro gram would be concerned with man-in-the-sea and biomedical re search, Dr. Clayton noted. The laboratory would be a coopera tive effort of many Texas edu cational and research institutions with support from industry and government. In a report prepared through the Sea Grant project, a perma nent laboratory facility in the Flower Gardens coral reef area 110 miles off Galveston is called technically feasible. The report points out that a permanently location would offer unique it search opportunities for a skoil time but questions whether tki scientific results can justify tin high costs of a permanent instill lation in a single location. Mill costs for a permanent continent)! shelf laboratory would be million. “One of the tasks of the stuij committee will be to explore tli possibilities of using platform submersibles, habitats, and sotl facilities as a floating semi-sii merged instrument platform pit terned after the Navy’s FLU ship,” Dr. Clayton explained. “It is technically possible ti construct a facility in the Fkjl Gardens area,” he said. “We sin ply must ask ourselves what kin of facility we need and whatu hope to accomplish through th use of it.” Aerospace engineers now face unemployment IT’S GOOD NEWS FOR GIRL WATCHERS when Chris- tiane Francos, 22, of France, left, and Barbara Sabbath, 23, of Canada, stroll through the Chelsea section of Lon don.

(AP Wirephoto) The automated airplane may be possible as ideas in air traffic control develop Sophisticated mechanical as sistance to air traffic controllers looms in the near future, A&M aerospace engineering seniors say. The complex snarl of air traf fic over major U. S. airports car ries major disaster as a regular passenger. At fields such as Chicago’s O’Hare, Washington’s National, JFK, LaGuardia and Newark at New York and Los Angeles In ternational, passenger jets roar in and out at less than half min ute intervals. The problem is complicated when the big planes, coming in at speeds around 200 mph have to be held back while smaller, slow er-flying aircraft clear runways and air lanes. Technology caused problems underlined by recent air traffic controllers threatened strikes and the popular novel and movie, “Airport.” Federal agencies, pilots, con trollers, airport managers and air transport researchers believe the problems must be solved by tech nology. Don Brandon of Anahuac and James H. Johnson of Friends wood, aero engineering seniors, reviewed current ideas for easing the air traffic situation. They also incorporated ideas of their own into reports for a senior seminar course instructed by Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger. They reported that computers, orbiting satellites, constant trans mitting transponders aboard planes for identification and po sition fixing and infrared track ing equipment are under study and development. “The Federal Aviation Admin istration requires the controller to do more than human efficiency allows and controlled perform ance drops,” Brandon said. Automatic or semi-automatic equipment systems would supply ground computer complexes the position of aircraft in flight, he added. Computer-generated dis plays to the controller would fa cilitate his management prob lem and increase safety around major terminals. Brandon also suggested that airborne computers in the planes might do the flying according to flight plan data. It would con sider automatically the positions of other aircraft in the vicinity and take action much more rap idly than a pilot. Johnson also noted the FAA plans to have a National Air Space system in operation at the nation’s centers by 1973. T^ computer-equipped ground inst* lations will control and direct air craft in flight. DALLAS (A*) — Things started going sour here in the early part of last year. As TFX airplane (Fill) contracts were delayed, then cancelled, aerospace firms in the Dallas-Fort Worth indus trial complex started cutting back. Whole programs were dropped almost overnight. Divi sions were phased out. Top per sonnel were fired along with the men they directed. Like a pebble dropped in a pool, the cutbacks spread ever widen ing rings among the subcontrac tors whose orderbooks were thinned. Related industries start ed firing men, too. For some men, the situation was very rough. But others hardly missed stride. They created their own jobs. Nevertheless, the unemploy ment seemed staggering. A survey by the Texas Employ ment Commission showed that some 41 per cent of those un employed in Tarrant County, the area surrounding Fort Worth, had held jobs in the aerospace industry. All this didn’t make the Dallas- Fort Worth area as badly off as places like Wichita, Kan., Seattle or Los Angeles. Latest Dallas unemployment figures show 3.5 per cent, Fort Worth 4.5 per cent. That’s well below the nation average of 6 per cent. But many of the men ta been in the aerospace field sn directly related businesses fort; to 20 years. Now that aerospace no lonjc wants them, they find nowhm else to go. Small ads in the Ion papers state brutally, “No a® space please” or “Aerospace ios not qualify.” Each week higNi qualified men have to dig etc deeper in their savings to met; the grocery bills and the morv gages. Some have to sell tk cars. Others fear they will ea up by losing their home and lie ing on the welfare rolls.
