‘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.
