JUNE 5. 1974 Page 3 GALVESTON—Jacques Cous teau was to be on hand here this morning to help launch the summer cruise of the “Texas Clipper,” 15,000-ton training ship operated by A&M. The converted oceanliner will take approximately 150 students on a two-month island-hopping swing around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. About half the students will be Texas Maritime Academy cadets and the other half participants in TAMU’s “Summer School at Sea.” Coeds will take part in the cruise for the first time this year. Four women have already signed on. Dr. William H. Clayton, provost of TAMU’s Galveston-based Moody College of Marine Sciences and Maritime Resources, said Cousteau will be aboard the “Clipper” from 10 to 11 a. m. to wish the departing stu dents well. “We re inviting all parents, rela tives and friends of the students Library materials relocation planned going on the cruise, as well as other " - interested persons, to come aboard — for coffee and visit with Captain Cousteau oh this happy occasion,” Clayton said. The famed oceanographer has been named by the Texas Maritime Academy cadets as one of their two honorary commandants. The other is Mrs. Mary Moody Northen of Galveston. The ship will sail shortly after 11 a.m. from TAMU’s Mitchell Cam pus on Pelican Island. Ports of call include San Juan, - Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maar- ~ ten, Netherland Antilles; Willems tad, Curacao; Cartagena, Colombia; U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Vera Cruz, Mexico. The “Clipper” will stop at New Orleans and Port Arthur en route home, ar riving back in Galveston Aug. 5. Relocation of some University Library materials will take place in the next few months. The library will disperse the basic collection into other holdings, in stall additional shelving on all floors and move fine arts and humanities holdings to the first floor. Changes will be made as rapidly as possible to reduce inconvenience to library users, announced Richard Puckett, assistant director for public services. Cushing Building renovation will later require some revision in regu lar library schedules. Re-processing and re-shelving of basic materials from the first to the third and fourth floors began in early May. The reference function of the Basic Division will remain, but will serve as General Reference. Social science holdings will remain on the third floor. Shelving will be installed as it be comes available. It will reduce cor ridor and lounge area space, Puck ett noted. Ocean waves simulated in lab aid in nutrient travpl study Dr. Takashi Ichiye and Yasuhiro Sugimori don’t have to go to sea to learn its mysteries—they simulate ocean phenomena in the laboratory.

The tank’s bottom is shaped much like the bottom to pography of the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast, with a plateau-like feature in the middle to provide a “shelf.” Average depth of water in the tank is eight inches. The tank is ro tated counter-clockwise to corres pond to the Northern Hemisphere. A motor-driven paddle on the outer rim produces waves which propa gate along the shelf. With such an arrangement, the experimental variables in the sys tem are bottom topography, rota tion rate and pulsation frequency. Dr. Ichiye said the shelf waves have amplitudes of about three in ches, with the associated current also small. Oceanography gets funds from NSF Department of Oceanography has received additional funding from the National Science Founda tion for support of research ac tivities on board the R/V Gyre, newest addition to TAMU’s oceanographic fleet. Dr. Richard A. Geyer, professor and head of TAMU’s Oceanography Department, said in announcing the $38,700 addition to the current research support program, that the funds will be used in ship operations scheduled for this summer in the South Atlantic and the Mediterra- - nean Sea. Dr. Geyer explained the NSF funds will enable the Gyre to sail the world’s oceans in search of under standing man’s relationship to the Father’s Day Special All mounts and styles reduced thru June 15th Hand Painted Bluebonnets For Dad. “The practical importance of these waves is their influence in producing upwelling,” he exp lained. Upwelling causes the transport of nutrients from the bottom, which is necessary for fish production. “Upwelling along the West Coast may be produced by seasonal changes of wind, but along the Gulf Coast shelf waves are produced by hurricanes, ” the oceanography pro fessor added. “It is possible that I #701-13 Cuff Links reg.$12 - only $10 thru June 15th #601-13 Tie Tack reg.$6 - only $5 thru June 15th Each featuring a single stem bluebonnet hand painted and fired on fine china with yellow gold or sterling finish mounts.
