In the lab, the scientists have ex amined a piece of the Union onclad Monitor to report on the asibility of raising it. The Savan- |h district of the U.S. Army Corp Engineers is using some of that formation to determine the best ay of recovering the Georgia. The Georgia has been a boil on !B navigation since its crew scut- ed it in 1864, and wags say the ship still on duty, protecting Savannah om all those Union ships and edges, some of which have been riously damaged after snagging e wreckage of the Georgia. The Army Corps of Engineers ants to have the Georgia raised, Both in the interests of historical reservation and to remove the hulk future harbor development be- mes more likely. The first attempt to salvage the peorgia came in 1867 and several Jforts since then have failed, due to ie immense size and weight of the ifaft, one of the largest the South iver commissioned. Two-thirds the size of a football field, the Georgia over 500 tons of locomotive rails r armor backed by 20-25 inches of ^upfnamba solid wood, four of 10 large guns and all their annumition when she went down. Garrison says Texas A&M may eventually use its two-man sub marine Diaphus on the project if the Army Corps of Engineers gives the go-ahead. The Georgia project could “easily take five years,” notes Garrison, and the wreck would serve as an under water classroom for training under water archeologists and other scien tists from Texas A&M. The Cultural Resources Labora tory offers several services to scien tists at Texas A&M, especially underwater recovery and preserva tion. Off-campus, the lab takes on such varied tasks as finding helicop ters that crash into the sea and locat ing navigational hazards. State Sen. William T. “Bill” Moore and Rep. Bill Presnal re ceived a lesson in cooking omelets Thursday night. They also received standing ova tions and commemorative plaques from top Texas A&M officials for their service to the University and agriculture specifically and to the state generally. The two legislators were special honorees at a cook-it-yourself dinner at which four retiring Texas Agricultural Extension Service and Texas Agricultural Experiment Sta tion administrators were formally recognized for superior service. “In attempting to assess the value of the service that Sen. Bill Moore and Rep. Ralph Presnal render to this institution is one of those rare instances when no matter what you say you don’t run the risk of exaggerating,” observed Clyde H. Wells, chairman of the Texas A&M University System Board of Re gents. “To say they represent us well is a gross understatement.” Texas A&M President Jarvis E. Miller echoed that sentiment, tel ling the two lawmakers that their alma mater “owes you a tremendous debt.” Moore is a 1940 Texas A&M graduate, and Presnal is a 1956 graduate. “These two men have gone be yond the call of duty,” added Dr. Perry L. Adkisson, the university’s vice president for agriculture and renewable resources, who coordi nated the program. The large plaques presented Wells and Presnal cited the legis lators for “dynamic leadership and outstanding contributions to the growth and excellence of Texas A&M University.. .and for stimulat ing the state’s agricultural industry by strengthening the programs of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, the Texas Agricultural Ex periment Station, and the Univer sity’s academic agricultural endeavor.” Each citation also noted major i 7 Hmanor EAST III-!
