The world-renowned explorer ild newsmen Tuesday that a recent rreement with Greek arehaeologi- il authorities foresees filming of le Aegean islands seabeds, which ill culminate in a submarine des- mt near the island ofThira into the mken crater which many believe ) be devastated Atlantis.

( | A feasibility study was con ducted by a Texas A&M geology r :lass under Dr. Chris Mathew- '< ;on about two years ago. The ■ itudy was approached from an engineering and structural vie- Vpoint. The assignment was to de ermine the feasibility of mov ing the tracks to the Highway 6 ^ west bypass. The study concluded that a , elocation following alongside [ he west bypass would not be [^Feasible because of the curves I' j'bhat would be necessary were i 'l too tight” for a train to follow. ii '> The class’ study also pointed ■ij iiaut that a relocation along the west bypass woidd interfere [with the flight patterns at Eas- i' i terwood Airport. I Mathewson says the present 1 location of the tracks is the most i jeconomical route for the rail road in this area. He said the i jitracks now run along the drain- f 1| age divide for the Navasota and ij; , Brazos Rivers. ^ He said water on one side of iL.the tracks runs to the Brazos '. River and water on the other 1 side drains off into the Navasota ( iiRiver. This minimizes the , >'number of bridge strictures I?"needed and grades (steepness of 1 Islopes) that trains must climb, he said.

While acknowledging that both ides of the conflict are guilty of ter- i Trist acts, Levinson maintained ' ;iat Israel’s are counter-terrorist '.qither than pure terrorist. , “The difference between ter- : Trism and counter-terrorism is that Terrorists are out o kill civilians in- iscriminately, while counter- irrorists are out tc kill the terrorists i|(i nd sometimes kil. civilians by acci- ,!•! ent,” he said. : [|'i “Israel took the position that if it i "as terrorism, whether Jews or ji 'irabs were doing it, it was wrong,” , i J|e said.

The film series will be entitled “In Search of Atlantis and “Mediterranean Trea sures’ and distributed to major television networks. “We may produce a great number of astonishing antiquities from our exploration of the Aegean Sea, or on the other hand very little,” Cous teau said. “But we will undoubtedly reveal information leading to a bet ter understanding of the region’s famed civilization. The Aegean Sea is believed strewn with valuable antiquities from sunken ships belonging to var ied civilizations that fell victim to storms, local wars or piracy. “Marine and geological studies will hopefully help us draw radical conclusions on the extent of the ob viously flourishing civilization in the devastated area and whether it was actually linked to the legendary At lantis, he said. The mysterious scattering ol vol canic islands centers around the popular island of Santorini, also known as Thira, 14 miles southeast of Athens. Archaeologists theorize that great eruptions took place around 2,000 B. C. which put an end to the Minoan civilization there. Several devastating earthquakes have taken place since then, the last one to cause any damage in 1956. The ruins of Thira have been systematically unearthed since early in this century. The most striking finds were made in recent years by Greek archeologist Spyros Marinates, who was killed in an ac cident while working on the site earlier this yefir. By then he had claimed to have found Atlantis. Cousteau says he has no new theory on whether the military, trading and religious center of At lantis did indeed exist and fell vic tim to the eruptions, but he plans to pick up from existing theories. College Station s animal con trol ordinance, effective since Sept. 1, has been termed “suc cessful," Humane Officer Larry Fitzgerald of the College Sta tion Police Department says. “Residents are cooperating pretty well so far and about 160 dogs and cats have now been registered, Fitzgerald said Tuesday. In order to have the animals registered, proof of ownership of the aminal must be presented by the owner as well as current vaccination records, he said. The cost of registration is $1. So far, about 60 animals have been picked up and have been taken to the El Cerrito Veteri nary Clinic, a police depart ment clerk said. Animals are kept at the clinic for 72 hours and if no one claims them, they are taken to the Vet erinary Clinic for small animals at Texas A&M University to be used for experimentation pur poses, Fitzgerald said. Most animals have been claimed so far, he added. According to figures at the College Station Police Depart ment, 70 percent of the animals were dogs and about 30 percent cats. Fitzgerald said the\ will be picked up if they are running loose or if they are not under the control of the owner.
