i)i jd! i<)> THE BATTALION Page 3 ■WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1975 Scott joins expedition of Russians ■ U.S. scientists are joining a Rus- ■an scientific team aboard the "Akademik Kurchatov” late this I month. I Among the personnel on this Ijceanographic expedition is A&M geologist Dr. Robert Scott. The Bruise will take them from New Bork to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Inhere Scott earlier helped discover || submarine hydrothermal field to Btudy mineral deposits on the Atlan- ic Ocean floor. On a 1972 cruise with the Na- ional Oceanic and Atmospheric idministration (NOAA) the hyd- othermal field was located in the ift valley of the ridge at 26 degrees lorth latitude during the Trans atlantic Geotraverse (TAG) project. The submarine region is where he minerals were dissolved in the lot water then precipitated on the Kean floor as it comes in contact with cold seawater. Mining two miles beneath the ocean may be come common with the exhaustion ofminerals on the continental crust. The expedition will dredge rocks from the bottom, run geo-physical surveys over the region, collect water samples and core the sedi ments. Both Russian and U.S. scientists will study the samples and publish the conclusions in joint reports. TAMU team now attempts chimp’s talk _ Lilly is a chimpanzee and the sub- ®ject of a unique research project here. A team will attempt to teach Lilly to communicate in American Sign Language, then ask her questions in sign to see if she has an advanced thought process. Success has already been meas ured in teaching other chimps sign. One from Nevada named Washoe knows nearly 200 signs and can make sentences and phrases, said Washoe’s human researcher in a re cent lecture at TAMU. The workers are looking for com plex questions since even dogs and parrots can be trained to perform acts when triggered by signs or voi ces. In other words, Lilly will have to do more than write the answer to “Kow much is two plus two” on the chalkboard. Dr. Ordean Oyen, physical an thropologist, is leading the project which involves Lilly’s owner, graduate student Alyse Moore and senior Phil Dering. “Efforts at such research have been attempted at only a very few institutions,’ said Oyen. The structure of the experiment, coupled with a chance for com munication, would yield valuable first-hand findings on behavior and development of chimps, he exp lained.
