MON-SAT 7AM-12PM SUNDAY 9AM-12PM ‘Diaphus’ seeking oil The submarine “Diaphus,” newest of TAMU’s research vessels, will start its second major research operation in May, mapping oil lands in the Texas Gulf. “During the recent public hearings, prior to Texas Outer Continental Shelf oil lease sales, concern was expressed over the possible effects of drilling on several coral reefs and snapper banks associated with suspected gas reservoirs,” explained the project head, Dr. Thomas J. Bright. “As a result, the Bureau of Land Management needs documented baseline studies of the areas. This will include physical, chemical, biological and geolog ical studies of Baker, South Baker, Southern, Small Adam and Big Adam banks east and southeast of Corpus Christi. The studies will provide a basis of comparison for later environmental monitoring programs if they are needed.” Bright said he expects to start sub marine operations May 11 and continue through June 22, including five different cruises to the five banks. In an aside, Bright noted that a bath ymetric mapping program in cooperation with Decca Surveys and the Bureau of Land Management will produce detailed bathymetric maps of 15 snapper banks on the Outer Texas Continental Shelf. Arnold Bouma is head of the map ping portion. Dr. William R. Bryant and Dr. Richard Rezak will lead the geology effort, and Dr. Willis E. Pequegnat will study the biology of soft bottoms ad jacent to the banks. Speed limit bills passed by House The Texas House has passed and sent to the Senate two bills dealing with the 55 mile per hour speed limit, State Rep resentative Bill Presnal of Bryan said, Thursday. HB 139 proposes to extend the man datory 55 mph speed limit beyond its April 1 expiration date as set by Con gress. The other, HB 528, would provide that the maximum fine that could be assessed on those convicted of speeding between 55 and 70 mph be set at $25. HB 5 28 also states that such speeding tickets issued under the bill could not be used to increase insurance premiums nor could they be used toward, the total ticket count with regard to driver’s li cense suspensions. Presnal said such ticket fines now approach $200 and can be used as the basis for increased premiums and license Suspensions. “HB 139 will call for an extension of the 55 mph speed limit for Texas until the federal government decides to elim inate the requirement,” Presnal said. The federal government has threat ened to cut off a state’s highway funds if it did not comply with the mandatory speed limit. Texas would lose nearly $303 million in highway funds if this happened, Presnal said. The original basis for requiring the lower speed limit was that cars run more efficiently at lower speeds and this helps to conserve gasoline, he said. Both bills have been referred to the Senate Committee on Judicial Affairs. Miss America may try A&M WASHINGTON (AP) — Miss America of 1975, Shirley Cothran, had a brief visit Monday with Presi dent Ford in the Oval Office. As they posed for photographs, the President chatted with Miss Cothran, a student at North Texas State College in Denton, about her plans to finish her education. She told the President she would either return to North Texas State or go to Texas A&M. Ford then recalled that he had given a commencement address last year at Texas A&M. “They gave me a good welcome, better than I got at my own alma mater,” he said. FINANCIAL ACHIEVEMENTS, INC.
