Plans for the controlled, above ground explosion at the white sands Missile Base were announced by the Defense Nuc lear Agency Tuesday. The explosion of 620 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil mixture will simulate a onekiloton nuclear blast. A kiloton is the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT. “There will be no radiation pre sent since the explosion will be generated by non-nuclear mate rials,” a Pentagon announcement said. “The thermal effect will be created by burning powdered alu minum with liquid oxygen.” Similar tests were conducted in 1979 and 1978, but an agency spokesman said this experiment will mark the first time the effects of both blast and heat will be mea sured. = 4-WHEEL DRIVE = 11-15 $7fi64 §= (50% Road I u = & Hazard) ZZ: • F.E.T. and Sales Tax All Tires Sold thru HZ Sept. 15 Mounted & Balanced as $2.50 = S Owners: Billy Winters =: George Emery E&W 1 Tire Distributors | = 2706 Pinfeather • Bryan S = M.C. 775-9009 VISA = i—mi ini mm (iS ‘ liL:. w WK m ^ WM W.“ - , “I ■ ■ mmrn :: ■ WmSm .

MAIN BRYAN 822-6105 Mon.-Fri. 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. 8 a.m.-l p.m. United Press International ST. LOUIS — A Caribbean cor al reef is growing in Missouri, a part of the country more condu cive to producing corn than a thriving saltwater ecosystem. The reef is the newest exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo and Director Richard D. Schultz says the zoo’s prompt response to a query by the Smithsonian Foundation made it possible. “Last summer the Smithsonian put out letters to about 23 major zoos, aquaria and science museums, and said they might have funds available for anyone in terested in producing such a reef, ” Schultz said. The Smithsonian has a pro totype reef at its Museum of Natu ral History in Washington and was planning to combine its own funds and expertise with monies from the National Science Foundation to help create similar reefs else where. But the federal funds dried up when the Reagan administration clamped down on the budget. Only the St. Louis Zoo beat the cutback in finances. “We didn’t stutter about it,” Schultz said. “I talked to some other zoo people and they were interested but just hadn’t done anything about it. We simply acted promptly and we re the one that ended up with if. “We re just as excited as we can be about it.” The reef is in the zoo’s Aquatic House but it’s not just another fish tank. A wave generator simulates the motion of the currents that wash over a reef, circulating oxygen and nutrients the living organisms feed on. A rack of halide lamps turn on and off sequentially to generate the appropriate cycle of sunrise, noon, dusk and night. Temperature and salinity con trols are in a room behind the 2,500-gallon exhibit, and an algae scrubber is above. The exhibit actually includes two tanks — the reef and a sandy lagoon area with sea grasses — joined by pipes that allow fish to pass through.

This Act, with which the University intends to comply fully, is intended to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the rights of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office of the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the Act. Local policy explains in detail the procedures to be used by the University for compliance with the provisions of the Act. Copies of the policy can be obtained at the Office of the Registrar, located in Heaton Hall on the Texas A&M University campus. Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be referred to the Office of the Registrar. DIRECTORY INFORMATION The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 permits a university to establish certain categories of information regarding students as “directory information,” and to then disclose this informa tion to third parties without the student’s prior consent. However, prior to releasing directory information concerning a student, the University must have afforded the student the opportunity to indicate that he does not want directory information concerning himself released without his prior written permission. Texas A&M University proposes to designate the following personally identifiable information contained in a student’s education records as “directory information.” 1. The student’s name 2. The local address, home address including country, and the telephone numbers of the student 3. The date and place of birth of the student 4. The names and address of the student’s parents 5. The student’s major field of study 6. The student’s class schedule 7. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports by the student 8. Weight and height of members of athletic teams 9. Dates of attendance, degrees and awards received 10. Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student 11. Sex, nationality, race and age of the student 12. The student’s photograph 13. Achievement awards or honors 14. The student’s class standing 15. Parking permit information The University will release “directory information” to third parties unless the University receives timely, written objection to such release in accordance with the procedure herein described. Students who wish to have “directory information” withheld must complete the appropriate form in the Registrar’s Office by Friday, September 18, 1981. Students who have requested information withheld in the past must renew their request each year within the first three weeks of the fall semester. The student must realize that approximately one month is needed to remove this information from materials already in circulation. However, the campus directory is printed only once a year, and after printing, no information can be removed. The student is responsible for renewing this request each September, and the validity of the requests extends from the date of the request to the following September 1st. 3113 A&M Travel Service, Inc The most professional, most experienced travel consultants in the area gives you hometown service with computerized speed.

They had to take a shipj down to the Caribbean with'-'® • bunch of divers who knew exactly what they were collecting and how to preserve it. ” The living coral is the element that allows the exhibit to be a cojm-I plete “microcosm.” “It’s a complete food chain,’> Schultz said. “An enclosed system^ in which we grow algae and there’s' something that eats the algae and' something that eats the thing that' eats the algae. That makes it a real fascinating thing to look at and a7 tremendous research tool.”
