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).

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

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.
