Princess
expecting
May baby
A&M now has 18th largest money share
Research money increases spread aroun
United Press International
LONDON — Buckingham Palace
announced Wednesday that Princess
Anne, Queen Elizabeth’s only
daughter, is expecting a second child
in May.
Friends of the 30-year-old prin
cess say she hopes the baby, who will
be sixth in line to the throne, will be
a girl so that her son will have a
sister.
Anne’s son Peter Phillips — no
title by his parents’ wish — will be 3
years old Nov. 15.
The palace made its announce
ment after Anne’s Tuesday night
appearance at the Ritz for a royal
family party in a billowing pale yel
low gown which prompted specula
tion she was pregnant.
Anne looked radiant as she en
tered the hotel with the Queen
Mother Elizabeth and her husband,
former army captain Mark Phillips,
to attend the 50th birthday party of
her aunt, Princess Margaret.

The colleges of Agriculture and
Engineering have always received
the bulk of research funds at Texas
A&M University, but this year other
colleges are getting a bigger share.
In its annual review of total re
search funds here, the Office of Uni
versity Research Tuesday released
the total increases in each college,
department and experimentation
station.
Overall research funding in
creased 14 percent to a total of $72.2
million, which makes Texas A&M
18th in the nation for volume of re
search, Dr. Robert R. Berg, director
of the Office of University Research,
said.
“The increases resulted mostly
from higher salaries,’’ Berg said.
Increases in the colleges of Busi
ness Administration, Education, Li
beral Arts and Medicine are notable,
he said, but were caused by recent
research projects, he said.
The College of Medicine, for ex
ample, is continuing its long-term
project of research in micro circula
tion and diseases of the circulatory
system.
“The college will expand its faculty
and staff in the future to study the
effect of certain drugs on the circula
tory system,” Berg said.

New research projects often set off
the overall figures, because they are
recorded when the project goes into
effect, Berg said. So it can happen
that one college receives a big share
one year and afterwards drops in its
recorded funds again, he added.
The two biggest colleges, Agricul
ture and Engineering, still received
most of the funds, because of their
experiment stations, Berg said.
The U.S. government is the
greatest investor in Texas A&M’s re
search, with a total of $31.9 million
this year. State funds provided $30.7
million and private contributions
totaled $8.5 million. $687,371 come
from other sources.
“A large part of funds for (the col
leges of) agriculture and engineering
come from state appropriations,”
Berg said. “Most of the federal
money goes to the academic univer
sity, other than agriculture and en
gineering.
“State appropriations start new re
search potential here. And for every
dollar we spend, we bring in $19 in
new research,” Berg said.
The report also released a list of
Texas A&M’s top 11 departments
according to total research spon
sored since 1976.
They are in order: oceanography,
chemistry, entomology, civil en
gineering, Cyclotron Institute, phy
sics, mechanical engineering, elec
trical engineering, biology, indust
rial engineering and veterinary phy
siology and pharmacy.
Most of the departments are not
from the top colleges, but from the
College of Science, which is one of

the biggest in the nation.
The departments of chemistry,
the Cyclotron Institute, physics and
biology accounted for $7.5 million or
35 percent of all the listed depart
ments.
“Most of the increase in the (De
partment of) Oceanography goes to
the three research vessels, one of
which, the RV Gyre, costs $3,000 a
day to maintain,” Berg said.
The increase in the Department of
Entomology, was due to a project on
integrated pest management, Berg
said.
The monthly reports of the Office
of University Research reflect funds
that were given to a faculty member
who applied for them. Although sev
eral departments and even colleges
may be involved in a research pro
ject, only one college will be cre
dited with the money, Berg said.
That procedure sometimes con
ceals the real involvement of other
departments, he added.

Iran says no hostage-arms deal
on
United Press International
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq
threatened to keep captured areas of
the Iranian oil heartland and Iran,
suspected of wanting military hard
ware in return for the 52 American
hostages, said it would not accept
U.S. war supplies.
Iran denied Tuesday an Iraqi
military claim that Ahvaz, capital of
Iran’s oil province of Khuzistan, “is
considered militarily overrun” and
that Iraqi forces were “in full control
of all main roads that link Abadan
with the outside world.”
In a televised speech to Iraq’s par
liament Tuesday, President Saddam
Hussein said his forces would “fight
till the enemy yields.”
Hussein told 250 deputies: “Again
we say to the Iranians, if they admit
our rights, without excluding any,
we are ready to withdraw as from
tomorrow.”
Tehran Radio reported that Hoj-
jatol-eslam Hashemi Rafsanjani.
speaker of the Iranian parliament,
repeated Iranian conditions for the
release of the hostages and said Iran
had “decided not to import weapons
from the United States.
“I believe that we shall think about
another source which will not sub
ject us to subservience,” Rafsanjani
said, adding Iran held “huge quanti
ties of weapons which will be suffi
cient for years to come.”
When the war started 45 days ago,
Iraq said its goals were recognition of
its sovereignty over the Shatt-al-
Arab waterway and territory it claims
the Iranians seized during the reign
of the late shah. Iran has spumed all
mediation attempts, demanding Ira
qi forces first leave the territory.
In the first indication Iraq intends
to keep part of the captured oil pro
vince of Khuzistan — which the Ira-

qis call Arabistan — Hussein warned
Khomeini to expect worsening peace
terms.
"If Khomeini wants to continue
the war, he can continue it indefi
nitely until we obtain our rights by
force. But let him and others know
that the war creates additional rights
over and above pre-war rights,” he
said.
"Some have said there is a shor
tage in Iranian spare parts,” Hussein
said in a calm, slow voice. “But Iraq
has been building relations with
other countries for 16 years and we
have enough spare parts,” he said.
There have been various reports
that Iraq is receiving arms overland
from Jordan’s Red Sea port of Aqaba
and that France has agreed to deliver
60 warplanes two months ahead of
schedule.
In Tehran, the Red Crescent Soci
ety, the Iranian equivalent of the
Red Cross, demanded the release of
