Fellow math professor and chess player Dr. Peter Knopf said the number of losses indicated that Smith had a bad night. Smith is rated a master by the International Federation of Chess.

United Press International TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A re- seacher told state energy officials Tuesday “unconventional” sources of natural gas could produce enough methane to supply national needs ifor 150 years if the gas can be recov ered. But Bob Rosenberg, vice presi dent of Chicago’s Gas Research In stitute, said developing the sources depends on economics and technol- °gy-_ “People say conservation can solve the energy problem — it can’t. While conservation helps, and we need to improve it, it’s no panacea,” Rosenberg said. “We’ve got to get more energy.” He said the unconventional sources of gas include geopres- surized gas, devonian shale, sandstone formations, coal seam gas and hydrates. He said conventional gas, nor mally found in pockets above crude oil deposits, could meet the demand for 40 to 60 years. But Rosenberg said scientists believe a “mindboggl- ing” 3,000 to 50,000 trillion cubic meters of geopressurized gas lies off the Gulf Coast of Texas, enough to last a minimum of 150 years. He explained though that geop ressurized gas is trapped in pockets of hot, brackish water deep below the ocean floor, and gas drillers lack the technology to extract the gas ef ficiently.

If you are going to be around the campus during the summer and want to get involved, the MSC Summer Programming Committee is looking for you. Applications for the following positions can be made at the secretary’s desk in Room 216 of the MSC. Deadline for applica tions is Wednesday, May 2. Excellence observed. Excellence expressed. The ESS feel of excellence is amply expressed in the AMT 1b, the most dramatic example of ESS's con tinuing devotion to intelligent design and advanced technology. The newly refined and improved 1b is a superb loudspeaker system that handles complex programming under heavy loads with great ease and clanty. The AMT 1b incorporates the most revolutionary loudspeaker develop ment of the past half-century: the Hell air-motion transformer midrange- tweeter, recognized throughout the world for its stunningly realistic sound reproduction. The cabinetry, too, i its finish and constru and beauty combined with engineering make the AMT 1b a truly exceptional instrument. mm The Hell air-motion transformer midrange-tweeter. Unconventional in design, uncompromising in clarity and definition, the incredible Hell air-motion transformer is truly a monumental breakthrough in loudspeaker design. The lightweight Teflon’ 11 diaphragm of the Heil, equivalent in surface area to an eight inch midrange, is accordion- folded into a one-inch pleated band. The diaphragm squeezes air between its pleats five times faster than its own motion, resulting in extremely swift air acceleration. 1 V ' ' The heart of the Heil air-motion transformer is a featherweight pleated Teflon diaphragm bonded with conduc- ! tive aluminum strips. The diaphragm is I suspended within a massive magnet I structure. A series of precision “focus plates” concentrate an intense mag netic field around the diaphragm. When a signal passes through the I diaphragm’s foil strips, the bellows-like motion of the pleats squeezes air out at | five times the speed of the vibrating diaphragm itself. This virtual “instant acceleration”^ distinguishes the Heil Heil air-mot'ion fransformer from aM other loudspeakers. MAGNETIC FOCUS P A NO WAVEFORM t . m amMb The ESS Bextrene tow frequency driver. The AMT 1b is equipped with an exceptionally rugged vacuum- formed Bextrene low frequency driver, designed and built by ESS. Developed by BBC engineers for studio reference .systems, Bextrene is a polystyrene compound with exceptional properties not found in pulp cones: □ Low mass. □ High structural rigidity. □ Great internal molecular damping for superb quieting. □ Less susceptible to resonance and masking distortion. O Greater clarity and accuracy. The improved AMT 1b woofer also incorporates a heavier surround for improved midrange response and in creased power-handling capability.
