Hill, a biology doctoral student from Glen Bumie, Mary land, along with a “Calypso” crew member, dove into the water to help James Prather of Dallas, helicopter pilot, and Joseph A. Thompson of San Diego, a diver- cameraman. Neither of the men were seriously injured. Hill is one of five TAMU graduate students serving as research assis tants during the two-month cruise. The ship departed Galveston last month, where it had been berthed for several months at TAMU s Mitchell Campus. The accident occurred near the mouth of the Mississippi River as the research team was preparing to film an oceanographic experiment. A spokesman for The Cousteau Society, Inc., said the $75,000 Hughes 300-C helicopter was reco vered but considered a total loss. Cousteau was not aboard ship at the time of the accident but he will join the cruise later this week, the spokesman said. The accident stemmed from an unusual heavy swell in otherwise calm seas as the ship lay at anchor. The helicopter, normally secured to the flight deck near the stern, had been prepared for takeoff when the swell struck just before the engine was started. The helicopter had been operat ing from the “Calypso for the past two years. The area photography which appeared in last Thursday’s television special, “Life at the End of the World, ” was taken from it. It also provided unique looks at the Antarctic environment to millions of viewers in last year’s productions “South to Fire and Ice, ” “The Flight of the Penguins,” and “Diving Be neath the Frozen World.” The 144-foot “Calypso,” con verted from a wooden minesweeper built at Seattle in 1942, is presently UI Center now open Texas A&M’s new Information Center opened Saturday with a 9 a.m. ribbon-cutping ceremonies on the ground floor of the Rudder Tower. The Information Center gives vis itors — especially prospective stu dents — an opportunity to learn about the university and its prog rams by viewing a series of sound- slide shows and a multi-media pre sentation. TAMU Admissions and Records Dean Edwin H. Cooper said the ceremonies, open to the public, are designed to express the university’s thanks to the Association of Former Students ofr providing the center. areas of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean and to gather data neces- sary for ocean study from various aircraft and satellites. The project began when “Calypso” departed Galveston on October 17 and will continue through November 21 de spite the accident, society officials said. The project has included a variety of experiments in a broad explora tion of the marine environment. The “Calypso” researchers have been obtaining sea surface meas urements to be correlated with data obtained by aircraft and satellites, with subsequent analysis to be done at Texas A&M. "The research is being conducted in cooperation with The Cousteau Society, a non profit organization working towards increased public understanding of all aspects of the marine environ ment. Based in Westport, Conn., the society functions primarily in the area of communications, and seeks to enlarge research and evalu ation activities pertinent to the oceans.
