shrimp) is a possibility, say TAMU
scientists.
Dr. B. F. Cobb, III, an animal
scientist, is investigating the molt
ing cycle of the sbrimp to find a
period when cholesterol levels are
lower than at other times.
“Shrimp is similar to insects in
that they require cholesterol to
synthesize the hormones needed for
the molting process,” Cobb said.
“The synthesizing is similar to a
vitamin-like action,” he said. “The
shrimp has to build up these mate
rials, including cholesterol, so that
it can produce a new shell. ”
After the new shell is produced,
the cholesterol level of the shrimp
would possibly be at its lowest.
“Unfortunately, until now, there
has been a wide variation in mea
surement of cholesterol because of
variation in analyses or biological
phenomenon like shrimp diet or
molting cycles,” Cobb said. “What
we re going to do is come up with
the procedure that gives the best,
most reliable data.
“The research will give us infor
mation for human nutrition as well
as insight into the chemical makeup
of shrimp,” Cobb said. ‘‘High
cholesterol keeps some people from
eating shrimp even though the evi
dence linking the ingestion of
cholesterol danger to humans is
controversial.
“As a matter of fact, the Japanese
who eat tremendous amounts of
shellfish exhibit a very low choles
terol level, ” he said.

NEEDMORE — Authorities
have confirmed that bubonic plague
— the feared Black Death of the
Middle Ages — is the cause of a
prairie dog die-off at the Muleshoe
National Wildlife Refuge in North
west Texas.
Bert Blair Jr., manager of the re
fuge northwest of Lubbock near the
Texas-New Mexico border, said
fleas taken from some of the prairie
dog holes were sent to the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service in Fort Collins,
Colo.
Blair said the Public Health Ser
vice confirmed the fleas had
bubonic plague. The disease is usu
ally transmitted by fleas, he said.
Blair said he was unsure how
many prairie dogs had died so far
from the disease, but that some of
the animals had survived. He said
about 40 to 50 acres of the 5,800-
acre refuge has been closed off to
the public for the rest of the sum
mer.
And, he said visitors to the refuge
were being advised of the situation
and warned to stay away from in
fected areas.
Blair said entire prairie dog
“towns” were wiped out.
“On a hot day, you can usually
drive through and see the prairie
dogs out feeding in their towns.
When you drive through and don’t
see any of them, you know some
thing is wrong, ” he said.
At least two prairie dog towns
survived the epidemic, Blair said.
He said officials have placed
chemicals in the affected prairie dog
holes to kill the disease and the
germs which cause it. He said the
animals usually die in the holes
where they live.
The Office of Technology As
sessment and the Technology As
sessment Board, chaired by Rep.
Olin E. Teague D-Tex., has re
leased a report on new mass-transit
ideas.
The report specifically examines
three new technologies. Grouped
under the common heading of Au
tomated Guideway Transit, two of
them are already being used in air
ports and for recreational purposes.
Shuttle-Loop Transit works like a
horizontal elevator shuttling back
and forth on a single rail. It can also
operate in a loop moving around a
closed path singly or in units.
Personal Rapid Transit is re
stricted to systems with small vehi
cles carrying from one to six passen
gers. Under computer control, veh
icles switch at intersections to find
the shortest uncongested path from
origin to destination. Test-track
prototypes have been built in
Europe and Japan.
Group Rapid Transit serves
groups of people with similar origins
and destinations. The principal dif
ference between the group-transit
and shuttle-loop systems is that the
former tends to have shorter inter
vals between vehicles.
The study revealed that new solu
tions to mass transit technology has
lagged due to a failure to devise ef
fective ways to introduce mass
transit into the cities.
The office said more information
is needed from local communities
on the effect of these systems. In
formation on the effect on land use,
quality of service, equipment and
reliability, safety, security from
crime and vandalism for both pas
sengers and system, aesthetic im
pacts and the strain on labor mar
kets in needed.
In identifying policy alternatives
for Congressional consideration,
the OTA assessment outlined prop
osals by which federal funds might
be channeled to better define the
problems and needs of new transit
systems.
A&M oceanographers, meteorol
ogists, biochemists, and statisticians
go to sea tomorrow to study mining
sites on the Pacific Ocean floor.
They are to conduct an environ
mental study of the ocean floor near
Hawaii. In just a few months com
mercial firms plant to begin mining
fields of manganese nodules.
Mining experts recently esti
mated that $279 million in
platinum, $130 million in man
ganese, $12 million in gold, $26
million in palladium, $8 million in
iridium and $400,000 in silver were
found with other metals in nodules
lying on a single 3,000-foot deep
plateau that supports the Hawaiian
Islands.
TAMU entered the project be
cause the Federal government in
sisted on a Deep Ocean Mining En
vironmental Study (DOMES) be
fore mining.
DOMES is a $3 million project
designed to identify potential
marine environmental impact prob
lems from commercial mining of
deep ocean manganese nodules.
The TAMU group along with re
searchers from the Universities of
Washington and Hawaii are
scheduled to leave from Seattle
aboard the research vessel
“Oceanographer” to conduct physi
cal, chemical and biological
oceanographic studies south and
east of Hawaii. They are due in
Honolulu Sept. 11.
One of the TAMU group. Dr.
Sayed El-Sayed, said it is now illegal
for any country to do anything to the
ocean or ocean floor without an eii
vironmental impact study.
“Probably much of the mining
will have to be done with a vacuum
and dredge which means a huge
plume of bottom material will he
dumped into the water (from the
surface) to settle out,” he said.
^ . ;
“We will take samples now and
set up current levels of marine life
and contamination,” El-Sayed said,
“Then next year, March through
December, we will return to de
termine the effects of the discharge
on the marine populations at the
mining sites.
