Chemists research effects of compounds
Chemists at Texas A&M Univer-
■ e putting together some of the
pieces that may ultimately tell
fate of pesticides and aerosol
popellants in the atmosphere.
■ team, headed by Dr. Alan S.
olgers, is investigating bonds
fhieh become stronger or weaker in
ompounds when chlorine or
iiorine atoms are made a part of that
pound.
me of these compounds have
labeled in the news recently as
culprits in the possible break-
of the earth’s ozone layer,
lainly, they are looking at the ef-
|t of chlorine and fluorine on
rbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon
Is which make up humans and
iny things with which we come in
lif contact. When added to these
bonds they form fluorocarbons and
chlorocarbons.
“Fluorocarbons have many uses
from substitutes for blood, to dirt re-
pellant, to aircraft hydraulic fluid,”
Rodgers said. “Chlorocarbons are
used in insecticides and cleaning
fluids.
“They have very interesting prop
erties and are univeral in applica
tion,” Rodgers went on. “When you
go from brake fluid to body fluid
you’re really covering some terri
tory. ”
He has been doing research in this
area since 1960 when, as a 3-M em
ploye, these compounds were being
looked at as a potential rocket fuel.
Scientists say that depletion of the
ozone layer would increase the
amount of ultraviolet radiation
reaching the earth which might
shorten man’s life span.

Outstanding offshore technology
A&M receives first award
Texas A&M has become the first
educational institution to receive the
Distinguished Achievement Award
from the Offshore Technology Con
ference (OTC).
An OTC Distinguished Achieve
ment Award is presented each year
at the OTC conference to an indi
vidual and a company, organization
or institution for outstanding con
tributions to offshore technology.
Texas A&M was selected by the
OTC executive committee for the
award because of A&M’s contribu
tions to offshore technology through
manpower development.
The OTC conference and exhibi
tion, founded in 1968, is devoted to
the development of offshore re
sources and the protection of the
ocean environment.
The conference, May 3-6, will
have the largest technical-
educational exhibits display in OTC
history, according to OTC pro
gramming.
The display will occupy the entire
Astrodomain complex and the Albert
Thomas Convention Center in
Houston.
The technical program of the con
ference will include sessions on
submerged production, floating
cities, the environment, and pollu
tion effects, offshore mining, and
marine riser systems.
A&M’s president. Jack K.
Williams, said he will accept the
award for A&M at the eighth annual
OTC conference on Tuesday, May 4,
at the awards luncheon.

ARE
AMERICANS
NATURALLY
RELIGIOUS?
Maybe they’re naturally in
dustrious, inventive or frontier-
oriented.
But naturally religious? No.
85 million Americans have
no expressed faith. Millions more
don’t practice the faith they pro
fess. Millions more, every year,
drift away from faith altogether.
If you believe in the power
of the Gospel of Jesus and think
His Gospel still has something to
offer America, then maybe you
should investigate the Paulist
way of life.
The Paulists are a small com
munity of Catholic priests who
have been bringing the Gospel
of Jesus to the American People
in innovative ways for over 100
years.
\Ve do this everyday through
the communication arts—books,
publications, television and radio
—on college campuses, in par
ishes, in missions in the U.S., in
downtown centers, in working
with young and old.
We don’t believe in sitting
back. Do you?
