Robert W. Ellison, a 26-year-old petroleum engineering senior from ; College Station, was one of nine listed as missing and presumed dead. Four bodies were recovered Wednesday, but search operations had to be called off when high winds and seas made conditions too dangerous for search crews. Ellison’s wife, Kaye, remained in College Station and is kept posted on the progress of the search several times a day, according to a friend who is staying with Mrs. Ellison. The search resumed Sunday using a survey boat equipped with side-scan sonar which detects metal objects, Al Spindler, Public Rela tions manager for Ocean Drilling and Exploration Co., Inc., said Monday.

The other eight on the helicopter were employees of various service companies and the pilot, Spindler said. Ellison was working as an assistant reservoir engineer on the off shore production platform, Spindler said. The helicopter evacuation was part of the company’s emergency plan “to evacuate all non-essential personnel from the rigs,” which began last Monday. The helicopter took off from the platform at 5:35 p.m. Wednesday, Spindler said, and no emergency calls were received from the pilot. The platform was 90 miles southwest of Houma, La., 50 miles off shore. The helicopter went down about 15 miles northwest of the platform. “No one really knows what happened,” Spindler said. “The seas had picked up, and we had reports that there were thunderstorms and heavy rains in the area. ” Spindler said they theorized that the pilot was trying to skirt the thunderstorm, which accounted for it being off cqurse. Ellison is the tenth student fatality since late April. Silver Taps will be held Sept. 9 for Ellison and the other students who have died since Aggie Muster on April 21.
