Pygmy whale autopsy
produces no answers
What killed a 10-foot, 1,000-
pound pygmy sperm whale found
beached in Galveston may not be
known until next week, said a Texas
A&M University scientist who as
sisted in the initial autopsy Satur
day.
Dr. Kenneth R. Pierce, professor
of veterinary pathology, said
Monday that the autopsy produced
no major findings and that the next
step would be microscopic tissue
studies which will begin later this
week. The advanced state of decay
of the whale’s remains is hampering
diagnosis, he said.
The mammal, named “Pilgrim”
by rescuers from Galveston Sea-
Arama Marine World, was found
washed ashore and critically ill on
Galveston Island Thanksgiving Day.
It died late the next day.
Pierce said the weekend autopsy
on the whale was performed by vet
erinary pathology graduate student
Cayman Helman of Bryan. Helman
is currently conducting field re
search near San Angelo and was not
immediately available for comment.
Pierce said the immediate goal in
the investigation is to gather more
information before any diagnosis can
be given.
If you are being
commissioned
You may want to join
the Bank of A&M’s
World-Wide program.
When you go on active duty, your banking
requirements will change dramatically.
You’re going to move around the world.
Your need for credit and for cash will be
quite different from your classmates who
return to their hometown to work and live.
And the penalties for record keeping er
rors are more severe for military officers
than most (if not all) other professions.
The World-Wide Department of the Bank of A&M was conceived to meet the needs of A&M
officers on active duty. The department is staffed by Aggies with first hand experience of TDY,
overseas movement, car financing in a foreign city, check-cashing problems at a military
installation, allotments, telephone transfers, etc.
The World-Wide program includes all the features of the so-called “military banks’’: direct
paycheck deposit, telephone loan service, write your own loan program, overseas car financ
ing, automatic transfers from checking to savings (and visa versa), credit cards, overdraft
protection . . . plus personal service by senior bank officers with career military experience
and Aggie know-how.
Visit the Bank of A&M today (or some day of convenience) before your commissioning date to
learn how the Bank of A&M’s World-Wide Department can be of service to you.

If you are interested in engineering, math or physics, the NAVY has a
program you should know about.
It’s called the NUPOC-Collegiate Program (NUPOC is short for Nuclear
Propulsion Officer Candidate), and if you can qualify it can pay you as
much as $611 a month for the remainder of your senior year. Then after
16 weeks of Officer Candidate School, you will receive an additional
year of advanced technical training. An education that would cost thou
sands in a civilian school, but in the NAVY, we pay you! In fact, when
you complete the year of advanced training, we will give you a $3000
cash bonus.
It isn’t easy. Only one of every six applicants will be selected, and there
are fewer than 300 openings. But those who make it find themselves in
one of the most elite engineering training programs anywhere. With un
equalled hands-on responsibility, a $24,000 salary in four years, plus
travel, medical benefits and education opportunities.
For more details on this program, ask your placement officer when
a Navy representative will be on campus, or call the Officer Programs
Office listed below; or send your resume to Navy Nuclear Officer Pro
gram, Code 40A, 1121 Walker Street, Houston, Texas 77002. The NUPOC-
Collegiate Program. It can do more than help you finish college; it can
lead to an exciting opportunity.
