Smithsonian
features A&M
Smithsonian, monthly
magazine of the Smithsonian In
stitute Associates, features Texas
A&M University’s nautical ar

ruary issue as part of an eight-
page article on the career of Dr.
George Bass, Texas A&M faculty
member who helped develop the
special discipline.
Bass is president of the In
stitute of Nautical Archeology
(INA), a non-profit scientific
group that relocated at Texas
A&M in September 1976 to
transform the campus into one of
the world centers for training
underwater acrheologists.
As the Smithsonian article
notes, Texas A&M’s recently
gained authority to grant a mas
ter’s degree in anthropology
makes the university the only in
stitution in America to offer an
advanged degree with specializa
tion in nautical archeology.
Photos in the article feature
several projects undertaken
since INA moved to Texas, in
cluding INA digs in Kenya and
Penobscot Bay, Maine.
Aggie represents
SNEA at convention
Karen Kopp, a member of the
Texas State Education Associa
tion at Texas A&M, served as a
delegate to the 41st annual con
vention of the Student National
convention of the Student Na
tional Education Association
(SNEA) last month.
The association is the largest
student organization in the coun
try.
SNEA delegates, representing
50,000 college students across
the nation, voted to oppose cor
poral punishment and sex dis
crimination in education. It also
voted support for more govern
ment spending in education and
legislation to provide liability
protection for student teachers.
Five army cadets
wear airborne wings
U.S. Army airbone wings are
now worn by five Texas A&M
cadets after training at Fort Ben-
ning, Ga. The quintet that ac
complished the rating includes
the first woman Army ROTC
cadet at Texas A&M to get jump
qualified.
Graduates of the Army school
are seniors James Clerihew,
Company L-l cadet from
Jacksboro, and John Cook,
Company F-2, Houston, and
junior Charla Gwin, Company
W-l, Fort Worth; Russell Hiller,
Company F-l, Dallas, and Aug
ust Mancuso, Company B-2,
Tewksbury, Mass.
They missed the first two
weeks of spring semester classes
to voluntarily participate in the
Jan. 6-27 school. Col. James R.
Woodall, professor of military
science, noted the cadets missed
classes with the permission of
their deans and professors.
Conducted in extreme cold
and excessive wind that made
jumps more difficult, the training
involved a week of ground
school, a week on the tower and
a week of jumps from aircraft.
The school enrolled 90 Army
ROTC cadets and more than 300
regular Army personnel.
Clerihew was the outstanding
ROTC graduate of the ground
school segment.
Texas A&M had 13 jump
school space allocations this year,
according to Col. Woodall. Eight
other cadets are expected to use
the remaining spaces before or
after summer camp this year, in
addition to the summer field
training at Fort Riley, Kan.

“At the Northgate”
Police film thieves,
round up 91 for court
By United Press International
FORT WORTH, Tex. — They
called it Operation Westwind, a
phony fencing operation run by the
local police department and federal
agents, and to insure success in the
courts, each and every illegal trans
action was videotaped.
Last week police rounded up 91
persons. None of them were over
joyed to find out they would be
television stars in the courtroom.
When one defendant was shown
the taped evidence against him
shortly after his arrest, he gasped,
“Man, that’s cold.’’
“I don’t anticipate we will try a
great many of these cases,” said Dis
trict Attorney Tim Curry. “There
will probably be a lot of guilty
pleas.
The undercover police officers
worked six months from a
warehouse and took the name of
Shade Tree Landscaping Co. It did
not take long for the company to de
velop a large volume of business.
“After we made the first buy,”
said Police Chief A. J. Brown, “they
were beating down our door.
Last September the policemen
posing as fences heard a broadcast
about a jewel store robberv.
Haggling was commonplace.
Brown said the thieves would “use
our phone to call another fence to
see if they could get a better deal.
The police took note of where the
calls were placed.
