traces of oil have been found at

Dr. Paul H. Newell Jr., who
developed and heads the bioen
gineering program at A&M, be
came associate dean of the Col
lege of Engineering Jan, 1.
Dean Fred J. Benson said Dr,
Newell is a professional engineer
“with very fine ideas about devel
oping engineering programs and
a man of great competence. He’s
the best man available.”
Dr. Newell, 38, will be re
sponsible for engineering grad
uate programs and in charge
when Dean Benson is away from
the campus.
He succeeds Dr, Richard Wai-
nerdi, now assistant vice presi-
shells at many sites. Three years
ago tar was found in a core taken
from the Sigsbee Knolls.
Since all of this hydrocarbon
material that has been found in
the sediment is lighter than
water, Sweet emphasized it could
not have sunk down from the
surface but must have come up
from a natural pool from below
dent for academic affairs.
Dr. Newell will retain the po
sition of professor and head of
the bioengineering program,
which A&M proposes to develop
into the only degree program of
its kind in the Southwest.
The Nashville, Tenn., native al

professor of biomedical engineer

the sediments.
He said the major purposes
of the project are to locate the
source of the seeps, determine
the nature and the amount of
seepage and the chemical compo
sition of the escaping material.
A&M’s two largest research
vessels, the R/V Alaminos and
the R/V Orca, have been used
for the study.
Drift cards are being used to
determine current movement from
the seep site in order to determine
what happens to the oil once it
is in the water. Sweet said some
cards have been found along the
Padre Island Beach and north
ward toward Louisiana.
Sweet noted the Coast Guard
also has been cooperating in the
project, with the cutters Durable,
Reliance and "Valiant dropping
cards on occasion at selected
points.
In the coming year the program
will be expanded to include regu
lar beach patrols to determine
the amount and type of tar com
ing ashore. To determine the
amount of tar floating in the
gulf, Sweet said a net will be
towed through the water at a
constant rate. A meter will record
the amount of water flowing
through the net, and after a spe
cific time interval, the net will
be hauled aboard and any tar
that is present will be removed,
weighed and analyzed.
