MAIN 822-2133 / IMHIIIIIIII! :ports I first two vessels of the AGOR- (U) class will be built at Halter- Marine Services, Inc., in New Orleans. Delivery is scheduled in about 14 months. Admiral Snyder said the basic cost for construction of each ves sel will be about $1.8 million. Each will be outfitted with ocean ographic equipment valued at approximately $800,000. The second vessel goes to the University of Hawaii, the ad miral said. Both ships will be outfitted by TAMU’s Oceanogra phy Department at its new ma rine logistic support facility on Pelican Island in Galveston. AGOR(U) class ships will be 172 feet long and accommodate approximately 28 persons, in cluding scientific party and crew. The twin-screw steel-hull craft will cruise at 12 knots, with a range of approximately 8,000 miles. “The AGOR(U) can easily sat isfy Texas A&M University’s forecast requirement for 260 ship-operating days per year in the 1974-to-1978 time frame and should offer significant improve ments in capability, reliability and economy of operations,’’ not ed Rear Adm. C. O. Holmquist, chief of naval research and as sistant oceanographer for ocean science. TAMU currently operates three oceanographic research vessels, in addition to three craft used for water pollution research in bays and estuaries. “This new vessel will greatly enhance our capability to conduct a comprehensive program as we continue to expand our deep water activities in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Atlantic,” emphasized Dr. Richard A. Gey- er, head of TAMU’s Oceanogra phy Department. Funds to assist in operating the new ship will be provided by the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation, Dr. Geyer added. Capt. Henry Rowe of the TAMU Oceanography Depart ment will serve as the univer sity’s liaison in New Orleans during construction. He also will be in. charge of outfitting both vessels.

The scholarship will pay $700 for Knight's freshman year, and $800, $900 and $1,000 in suc ceeding years dependent on the recipient's maintaining at least a “B” average. Spring Woods High School, where Knight graduated this spring, also will receive a $200 Amoco Foundation grant for pur chase of scientific equipment. At Spring Woods, Knight was a Na tional Merit Finalist, National Honor Society member, listed in “Who’s Who in High Schools” and the 1971 outstanding chem istry student of the American Chemical Society. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene S. Knight, 1643 Crestdale, Houston. Bedford noted the foundation is placing 18 freshman scholar ships in geology, geophysics and engineering at 16 universities this fall. The foundation was created and is supported by Amoco Production Co., the U. S. exploration and production sub sidiary of Standard Oil Co. (In diana).
