Council to pay
for its awards
Offshore plants

By GAIL WEATHERLY
Campus Reporter
An extra $800 will be spent this
'ear on awards to be presented at the
Memorial Student Center Awards
(anquet.
About $2,500 was spent to purch-
se plaques, certificates and tie tacs
br recipients, said Vice President of
ograms Teresa Beshara, in a memo
the council. This was an increase
m the $1,700 spent last year.
The MSC Council will have to
sorb the cost into other parts of its
lidget this year, but members voted
itheir meeting Monday to seek out-
|de funding to cover the additional
sts in the future.
Beshara said the amount allocated
the present budget for awards
comes from student service fees.
This is not enough to allow extra
awards to be given to students who
donate much of their time to the
MSC projects.
Also negelected, Beshara said, are
faculty members who work with the
council just on specific projects,
rather than on a continuing basis.
“Our present system recognizes
only those faculty who serve for a
long period of time, and does not
recognize those faculty members
who may contribute much time and
energy on a single project,” she said
in a memo to the council.
In order to give more awards in
the future to deserving people, the
council voted to submit a request to
the MSC Enrichment Board of

Directors at its meeting April 12 that
the board fund these supplemental
awards that are beyond the budget
allowance of the MSC Award fund.
The council set a minimum of
$1,000 funding per year from the En
richment Fund for next three years.
The council also voted to authorize
the MSC Enrichment Fund to raise
money to provide for an endowed
lecture series.
Beshara said, “Details of how it
will operate will be decided later by
the students and the MSC Council.”
In other business, the council
voted to have a MSC calendar of
events printed on-campus and made
available to students next fall at $2.15
per calendar.
Cole said the calendar is not a fund
raising activity but a service to con
solidate all student programs activi
ties into one calendar booklet.
“We re just trying to break even
on it,” he said, “but if there is any
money left over it will be applied to
the next year’s calendar.”
Monday’s meeting was the last one
for the 30th MSC Council.
The federal government is study
ing two locations in the Gulf of Mex
ico as potential sites for offshore pow
er plants that produce energy by
mixing massive quantities of sea wa
ter, one of the scientists involved
said at Texas A&M University.
The Ocean Thermal Energy
Coversion program (OTEC) is also
considering two sites in the
Hawaiian chain and one off Puerto
Rico as test sites for the generating
stations that are largely still on the
drawing board, said Dr. Pat Wilde of
the University of California Lawr
ence Berkeley Laboratory.
He told a Sea Grant-sponsored
marine fellows lecture that tremen
dous engineering and ecological
problems still lie in the path of de
velopment of OTEC, but that future
world energy situations may push
the idea forward.
“OTEC depends on OPEC (Orga
nization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries),” Wilde said. “If you
didn’t have OPEC, you wouldn’t
need OTEC.”
For now, researchers can’t even
estimate the cost of building a single
OTEC unit — although it will be in
the tens of millions of dollars — and
have no idea of how much time
would be required before a unit
would pay for itself, he told Texas
A&M scientists.
He said the drawback to the Gulf
sites — near Louisiana and off the
west coast of Florida — was the high
incidence of tropical storms and hur-

1201 Hwy. 30 in the Briarwood Apts., College Station 693-9781
Qualifications: two-year class
council member, participant in Pre-
Vet Society and Student Y, freshman
member of Ag Council.
Platform: Rose would like to orga
nize the class better and get input
from classmates on various matters,
especially the class gift. He would
like to use a type of survey to get
ideas from members of the class and
to find out why meetings aren’t
attended. Collecting cans and having
car washes are some fund-raising
ideas Rose has.
The information of Kathleen Mil
ler, a candidate for vice president for
academic affairs in student govern
ment, was incorrect in Monday’s
paper. She was a member of the Ag
Council last year but is not currently
a member.
