Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, January 5, 1972 THE BATT^g TAMU to participate in Antarctic oceanographic study /§ An Antarctic oceanographic cruise in early 1972 will involve 26 cooperating researchers of seven institutions, half of them from A&M. They plan a cooperative in vestigation of how marine organ isms fit into the Antarctic food chain and relate to solar energy and seawater chemistry. The “Eltanin†will bore into the south polar region during January and February, the Ant arctic summer when ice partially relinquishes its grip on the waters the scientists plan to study. Another ship carrrying a co operating TAMU specialist will rendezvous with the Eltanin near the ice-sheathed Antarctic Con tinent. Also on the National Science Foundation-sponsored Eltanin ex pedition will be scientists from Scripps Institute of Oceanogra phy, Oregon State University, DePaul University, the University of Michigan, Smithsonian Institu tion and New Zealand’s Univer sity of Canterberry. In the TAMU group will be Dr. Sayed Z. El-Sayed, oceanographer whose primary productivity re search there led to an Antarctic glacier being named in his honor; Dr. William M. Sackett, oceanog raphy; Dr. Guy A. Franceschini, meteorology, and Dr. Nestor R. Bottino, biochemistry and bio- Alice School District given grant by Education Center A&M has awarded a $4,500 grant to the Alice Independent School District for development of community education, support ing people-involving activities. The grant is the first by the TAMU Community Education Center, established here last sum mer under contract with the Charles S. Mott Foundation. A “seed money†award, the grant will be supplemented from local sources to acquire leadership in developing the South Texas city’s community education pro gram. Alice Schools Superintendent Dewey Smith accepted the grant from the TAMU center, organized in the Educational Administration Department of the College of Education. Dr. Robert I. Berridge directs the A&M center. He contacted Alice officials through the Region II Education al Service Center in Corpus Christi. Dr. Thomas Tope, Corpus Christi center director, arranged initial contact and planning ses sions. Community education was de veloped through the Mott Foun dation to provide activities at a central site—such as an after- ROBERT HALSELL TRAVEL SERVICE AIRLINE SCHEDULE INFORMATION FARES AND TICKETS DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL CALL 822-3737 ^rn k*' 1016 Texas Avenue — Bryan hours unused school—for people of all age groups. Industry, busi ness, schools, churches, civic groups and other local agencies cooperate in the program. The Mott Foundation-backed concept ideally takes advantage of the wasted public investment of locked schools. It opens class rooms, gyms and shops for crafts vocational skill learning, health care training, continuing educa tion or other activities indicated by community interest. The Alice grant was drawn from a “seed money†component of the original Mott Foundation award to A&M’s College of Edu cation. Berridge emphasized that the grant is of seed nature to help Alice establish and support its own program, to be designed by the Alice director in cooperation with local groups to fit needs and interests of Alice citizens. He stressed that the concept does not give a community some thing for nothing, nor does pour in funding. Moderate funds are provided only on a limited basis. “We will usually just give a community a pat on the back and wish them good luck,†the TAMU center official said. “A program helps people mo^t when it en courages self-help.†I ¥ I THE UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION a specialized agency of the United Nations dedicated to peace and THE STUDENT AID SOCIETY a non-profit non-political organization dedicated to helping students to help themselves offer STUDY ABROAD a » « $ 6 value Paris, France, 1972 644 Pages ■New 19th Edition ■Each copy is trilingual in English, French and Spanish The most complete scholarship directory in the world lists more than 234,000 scholarships, fellowships, loans and grants in more than 129 countries or territories!

Coordinated investigations of the seven institutions’ experts will seek a well-integrated bio logical, chemical, biochemical and physical understanding of the structure and functioning of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. Though choked with ice and ice mush much of the year, Ant arctic waters are highly produc tive of a wide variety of marine organisms. A rich algal bloom was discovered by El-Sayed on a 1968 icebreaker cruise into the usually ice-locked Weddell Sea. Oceanography doctoral student William T. Dill of Delphi, Ind., will collect synoptic data on an other research vessel, the ice breaker Southwind. El-Sayed will investigate dy namics of the phytoplankton pop ulation and the role the minute organism plays in the ecosystem. The Eltanin will run stations between Christchurch, New Zea land and the Ross Sea. The South- wind will depart Puntas Arenas, Chile, and work southward at the same time. A rendezvous in the Ross Sea is planned. Sackett will trace carbon path ways, to determine stable isotopic composition of all materials con taining carbon. The data will be useful in finding what various organisms feed on. Using a car bon isotope technique, he also will seek data on temperatures of water in the past. Franceschini will study distri bution of solar radiation that in fluences primary productivity. His measurements will determine the kinds and amounts of light available to primary producers for the photosynthesis process. Fats in the whole food chain of the Antarctic ecosystem will be studied by Bottino, especially how fatty acids in the lipid group are transferred through the chain.
