TEES To Study Artificial Reefs A research team from the In dustrial Economics Research Di vision of A&M’s Texas Engineer ing Experiment Station will study artificial reefs. The TEES-administered study is funded with matching grants of $4,000 from the Texas Council on Marine Affairs and $4,000 from A&M’s Sea Grant Program. Project Director James Bradley said the preliminary project is funded through August 31. Artificial reefs, according to Bradley, attract marine ecosys tems to otherwise barren sections of ocean floor. The study will look at the possibilities of using a number of various objects as artificial reef structures. The preliminary project will be concerned with defining spe cific and general areas of re search needed. The state of the art of artificial reefs and his torical account of previous re search will be assembled by the research team. Types of materials for possible use in an artificial reef system will be studied, and subjects such as availability, cost, transporta tion problems and longevity of materials will be considered. Possible materials to be stud ied include mothballed Liberty ships, old rubber tires, concrete pipes and rubble and old car Food Safety At Home Protect your family from food- borne illness through necessary precautions in home meal prep aration, advises Frances Reason- over. The foods and nutrition special ist, A&M’s Texas Agricultural Extension Service, offered some guidelines for safe meals and dis cussed several foodborne ill nesses. “When children help with meal preparation, insist they handle foods carefully and properly. “At the same time, stress per sonal cleanliness of every family member. Journalism To Offer Grad Courses “Also make sure dishes, cook ing equipment, cabinets and other work surfaces are kept clean.” Unless foods are handled and prepared correctly along the way, homemakers are inviting trouble, the specialist emphasized. “Store perishable items in the refrigerator and serve foods promptly after cooking. “Preserve foods to be held for long periods—using proper meth ods and techniques.” Turning to foodborne illnesses, Miss Reasonover cited salmonel losis as one caused by bacterial infection. Although refrigeration inhibits growth of bacteria, it doesn’t destroy them. But heat ing food to a temperature of 140 degrees F. kills these bacteria— and pievents illness. To prevent perfringens poison ing, cool cooked meats rapidly and store promptly in a refriger ator, the specialist continued. “Staph poisoning, on the other hand, is caused by bacteria-pro- ducing toxin. Keeping hot foods above 140 degrees F.—and cold foods at or below 40 degrees F.— will prevent bacteria growth. “Toxin produced by these bac teria can be destroyed by heating food in a pressure cooker at 240 degrees F. for 30 minutes, or by boiling it for several hours.” Another illness caused by bac teria toxin is botulism. Processing low-acid foods in a steam pressure canner at 240 de grees F. as prescribed prevents botulism. This process kills spores which are extremely re sistant to heat, she explained. “Destroy toxin by boiling food for 10-20 minutes—depending on the food.” A&M’s Journalism Department will begin a series of graduate offerings this fall with a course entitled “Institutional Persua sion,” announced C. J. Leabo, de partment head. Leabo said the course, Journal ism 605, will deal with public relations philosophy and meth odology, utilizing the principles of persuasion and attitude change as adapted to public and private institutions. Students will study the appli cation of public relations in their chosen fields, Leabo added. He noted the course will be taught by Dr. David Bowers, pro fessor of journalism. A&M at the present time does not offer a graduate degree in journalism, but the department Safety Educator Visits Campus has received institutional approv al to conduct seven graduate courses. A L» L E N Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE “Where satisfaction is standard equipment” 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 Di\ Peter C. Compes, presently the only industrial safety educa tor in West Germany, visited A&M Thursday to confer with leading industrial hygiene and safety professors in the United States. Dr. Compes, professor at Ber- gische University, Wuppertal, W. Germany, met with Dr. Dave Discher, M.D., University of Washington at Seattle, and George Pettigrew, National In stitute for Occupational Safety and Health, Dallas. The conference consisted of discussions concerning hygiene and safety engineering. Dr. Compes was given briefings on graduate and undergraduate pro grams at A&M in industrial safe ty and health from staff mem bers of the Hygiene and Safety Engineering Division of TAMU’s Industrial Engineering Depart ment. “Germany is a highly indus trialized country,” Dr. Compes noted. “We have no formal edu cational programs to speak of that trains industrial safety engi neers. “I am very impressed with the program you have here at A&M, and hope to incorporate some of your features in a program I am developing in my country.” Dr. Compes has been touring 1 the United States for three weeks, visiting Boeing Aircraft’s Seattle facility and the Jet Pro pulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., among other industrial and research facilities. The German educator was ac companied tp A&M frosm Houston by A1 Williams, 1968 A&M grad uate, and Matthew Rudowsky, with Boeing’s NASA operation in Houston.

BRING THE FAMILY, EATING OUT IS FUN. ‘QUALITY FIRST’ If you forget to get a“procto” you may never live it down. You may never have heard of a “procto” much less had one. Most people haven’t. Last year 43,000 Americans died of colon and rectum cancer. Yet thousands of them might have been saved. A “procto” (short for proctosigmoidoscopic examination) can easily de tect this cancer in its early, curable stages. Be sure to ask your doctor to include a “procto” in your next annual checkup. It takes only a short time. But it could help save your life. American cancer Society THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY THE PUBLISHER bodies. Obsolete offshore drill ing rigs also will be considered. The study will also be con cerned with environmental ef fects of artificial reefs, number of reefs needed and site loca tions. Bradley emphasized that all areas of the coastal waters will be considered for location. “Artificial reefs attract sea life to a clean but otherwise emp ty section of sea floor,” Bradley explained. “Time has shown that offshore oil wells attract large amounts of fish and other sea life, and we feel artificial reefs will do the same.” Bradley said that marine life begins to move into an artificial reef system within two or three weeks after the structure is placed on the ocean floor. Micro scopic organisms are first to ar rive. These attract small fish, which in turn attract larger fish, eventually forming an attractive area for fishermen.

The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You Faraway Places 11 a. 11 a 11 < Ordei Ft Allow -carr; I’ve never seen the Taj Mahal. Nor have I looked up at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or out across the broad Sahara to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Most of my life, as a matter of fact, has been spent right here in my own town. Not because I don’t want to travel. To visit these faraway places is one of my big desires—and, one day, I hope to do it. But I know, deep in my heart, that even if I never leave my home town I’ll have more to do than I can hope to accomplish. Because God is just as much here as he is anywhere. Our minister used that thought in his sermon last Sunday, and he told us how much there is for all of us to do in our own particular place— and how much remains undone! If we’d bring just one other person to church with us on Sun day, we’d really be doing something, he told us. And, as I thought it over, I knew how true that was. That’s why I’m asking you.
