AUSTIN (AP) — A special study

ommend whether the University of
Texas should work harder to elimi
nate hazing on the campus.
UT President William H. Cun

The 23-member commission,
headed by John T. Ratliff Jr., in
cludes students, staff and alumni.
Cunningham asked for a report by
June 1, 1987.
The commission was appointed
after Mark Seeberger, 18, a UT fra
ternity pledge from Dallas, died
Sept. 18 of alcohol poisoning. Unve
rified reports said Seeberger, with
other pledges, was handcuffed in
side a van and forced to drink large
quantities of liquor during a frater
nity “ride.”

College Station, Texas 77840
1 block South of Texas & University
A&M researcher
of dolphin still myslf,
The death is still under investiga
tion, but no charges have been filed.
Cunningham said in his charge to
the commission that it should deter
mine what fraternal organizations
provide in the way of “positive con
tributions and negative influences”
on campus life.
“Although we have taken strong
measures already, can the university
and the organizations concerned do
more to eliminate hazing?” Cun
ningham asked.
“What steps can be taken to curb
alcohol abuse among members of
fraternal organizations?” he asked.
“What is the UT role and the organi
zations’ role in alcohol education?”
Cunningham said the university
now treats fraternities as it does the
other almost 600 registered student
organizations.

Reporter
Dr. Raymond Tarpley, research
associate in the Department of Vet
erinary Anatomy, told a group of
students Tuesday that the
relationship between the dolphin’s
brain size and its intelligence is a
mystery.
“The crown and glory ior them
(dolphins) is their very large brain
that rivals our own in size,” he said,
adding that research has focused on
the assumption that such a large
brain must he doing something fan
tastic.
Tarpley said that it is not unrealis
tic to think that a brain this size does
something pretty impressive.
The Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin,
the type that appeared in the tele
vision series “Flipper,” was the sub
ject of communications research
done in the 1960s, Tarpley said. He
added that both the movies "The
Day of the Dolphin" and "Altered
States” were based on research per
formed during this period.
Despite this research, the mystery
of the dolphin’s brain still remains.
One current project taking place
in California involves using a com
puter as an interphase to commu
nicate with dolphins. Tarpley said.
In other words, Tarpley said, hu
mans won’t try to learn theJ
language, and shouldn’t pB
that (hey can learn ours.Ht*
that dolphins do not haiJI
cords. I
Another theory suggestsiK
size of the brain maybertlBj

made unlikely by the brainB

Yet another developingihB
