Texas A&M’s commitment to
be the state’s leader in marine
resources development was an
nounced today by President Dr.
Jack K. Williams to a top-level
advisory committee of the Na
tional Sea Grant Program.
“Texas A&M University has
committed its resources to the
goal of becoming a Sea Grant
College,” Williams said in a re
view of the university’s Sea Grant
and marine resources program.
The presentation was made to
the National Sea Grant Advisory
Panel and top-level representa
tives of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) holding a two-day meet
ing on the university campus.
The National Sea Grant Program
is a part of NOAA, newly-created
segment of the Department of
Commerce.
Robert B. Abel, director of the
National Sea Grant Program, said
in opening the session that the
panel is “particularly interested
in Texas A&M’s program since
the kinds of issues presented in
today’s meeting will serve as a
model for the National Sea Grant
Program.
“Texas A&M has involved rep
resentatives from industry, gov
ernment and other universities,
as well as a cross-section of its
own university talent in its ma
rine resource development pro
gram,” Abel added. “This is what
the Sea Grant Panel hopes to
bring about on a national scale.”
Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr., direc
tor of Texas A&M’s Sea Grant
Program, begati the meeting with
a review of Sea Grant Program
accomplishments throughout the
university system.
“We believe our program has
fulfilled all the requirements cur
rently under consideration by the
advisory panel for the designation
of Texas A&M as a Sea Grant
College,” Calhoun said.
He said that although the Na
tional Sea Grant Program and
College Act (1966), which created
the university’s program, called
for designation of Sea Grant Col
leges, none have yet been named.
He noted that among the 12 col
leges and universities receiving
institutional awards, Texas A&M
currently holds the second largest.
The university is in its third
year as a Sea Grant institution
and received $1.1 million in fed
eral funds for 1970-71. Next
year’s program will receive $1.4
million. Federal funds make up
two-thirds of the Sea Grant Pro
gram, with the state and other
non-federal sources providing the
remaining one-third. Total pro
gram effort this year is $1.6 mil
lion.

A students reading improve

increase academic proficiency is
available in the university’s resi
dence halls and dorms.
Sponsored by the Counseling
and Testing Center directed by
S. Auston Kerley, the program is
offered on a voluntary basis.
It requires about 10 hours of a
student’s time, spread over a
month of two to three half-hour
sessions a week.
“It is a proven fact that one’s
reading skill is a major factor in
determining success or failure in
all facets of academic work,”
said Jim Davis, who handles the
center program.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Egypt announced Wednesday it
had decided on its course of action
after expiration of the Middle
East cease-fire but refused to say
what that course would be.
The armies of Egypt, Jordan
and other Arab states were on
alert, and Israel shored up its
defenses along the Suez Canal.
But sources in Beirut, Lebanon,
and elsewhere in the Middle East
remained hopeful that the six-
month truce would be extended
when the deadline arrives Friday
midnight along the Suez Canal
and the River Jordan.
Cario radio said Egyptian Pres
ident Anwar Sadat will make
known his government’s decision
at an emergency session of
Egypt’s parliament Thursday eve
ning.
Egypt’s public position has been
that it will not renew the cease
fire, unless progress is registered
at the Middle East peace talks
going on under the auspices of
U.N. special envoy Gunnar V.
Jarring in New York.
But Egyptian leaders have in
dicated that, even without a truce
extension, Cairo would not order
a resumption of fighting, unless
Egypt is attacked. Israel has said
it will not fire the first shot if
the truce ends.
Cairo radio said Egypt’s posi
tion was decided upon Tuesday
at a meeting of the Higher De
fense Council headed by Sadat.
The president relayed that deci
sion Wednesday to the Central
Committee of the Arab Socialist
Union — ASU — Egypt’s only po
litical party.
Israel has already agreed to
prolong the cease-fire and Jordan
has served formal notice it will
follow Egypt’s suit either way
on the issue.
