Ocean program develops
new drilling technique
COLLECiF. S I AT ION — En
gineers of an ocean drilling pro
tect headquartered at Texas
ANM have developed etpiipment
that makes it possible to gather
samples ol the earth’s cote that
were previously inaccessible.
The engineers are part of the
international Ocean Drilling Pro
gram. a 10-year scientific cruise
seeking new information about
the Earth's origins.
The ship's crew is using new
tecbnologv to drill near the axis
of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the
world's largest underwater
mountain range, said Dr. Philip
Rabinowitz, an AX:M oceanogra
pher and director of the pro
gram.
Rabinowitz. said the core re
trieval has been made possible by
a specially designed guide base
that keeps the drill bit from spin
ning off the hard, roc kv surf ace.
traditional drilling methods
have depended on thick layers of
sediment to provide stability for
the drill bit before it hit bare rock,
but because the ocean floor at this
site doesn't have a protective secii-
ment layer, drilling into t he newly
formed crust called for an inno
vative technique. Rabinowitz said.
The new from the drill ship
has lowered the 40,0()0-poimd
guide base onto the bottom of the
seafloor and pumped an extra
lOO.OOO pounds of cement into
bags inside the base to add stabil
ity.
A television camera is attached
to the outside of the drill string
and lowered to die seafloor to
beam back images to the ship.
Televising the underwater ter
rain allows scientists to view the
rugged'topography of this section
of the seafloor, according to offi
cials.
Deposits due before Dec. 13
for study abroad program
Address for
Success
By TAMARA BELL
Kcportcr
Students who want to participate
in Texas AN;M’s study, abroad pro
gram this summer need to turn in a
SBOO deposit before Dec. IB, says the
associate dean of the College of Lib
era! Arts. <
Dr. Candida Lutes says the pro
gram is unusual this year because
there is so much American tourism
overseas. Lutes says she has had to
press for deposits before the semes
ter ends in order to secure airline
tickets and hotel reservations.
She says if the students don’t
make a deposit now, she can’t prom
ise that (here will be space available
for last-minute additions.
If students decide to study abroad
this summer, the total cost of the trip
is around SB,()()(), Lutes says. Stu
dents will make three equal pay
ments next spring, and have the de
posit applied to the total cost of the
trip, she stivs.
The actual cost to the students de
pends (mi which program they
( boose. I he cost includes the air
fare, most museum entrance Tees
and hotel rooms.
Students have a choice of four
programs, lattes savs. One program
takes the students to (meat Britain.
Another allows students to study in
ftafv and Creece. The third pro
gram takes the students to China, ja
pan and Hong Kong. The fourth in
cludes a visit to Dublin, London,
Paris. Berlin and Vienna.
Each program lasts one summer
session or six to seven weeks. Lutes
savs. Students will leave before the
official summer session begins at
ANM in order to get themselves situ-'
ated in die country before classes be
gin.
One reason students would travel
thousands, of miles to attend classes
is that the different setting sparks a
revived interest in studying. Lutes
savs.
"It’s different from learning
about literature or art in a classroom
at A&M," she says. “T he students go
on field trips to museums to see first
hand the art they've only previously
seen in hooks.
Another reason Lutes advocates
studying abroad is the new experi
ence available to the students, she
says.
“A different setting renews an in
terest in learning; it generally makes
students more creative," she says.
Although students will have free
time to shop and take in unsched
uled sightseeing, Lutes says the pro
gram isn’t a party on the Riviera.
So that students understand what
is expected of them while they are
out of the country, they must fill out
an application at the same time that
they make their deposits, she says.
