A&M is national organizer
of first global ocean study • a I !
By Melanie Perkins
Staff Writer
Since January 1984, Texas A&M
has been U.S. headquarters for the
World Ocean Circulation Experi
ment — the first global, scientific
study attempting to describe general
world ocean circulation.
A&M organizes all U.S. science
meetings for WOCE, distributes all
its written material for the United
States, and represents the country’s
science community in general to the
experiment.
Worth Nowlin Jr., associate dean
of oceanography, said there is no
student participation in WOCE at
this time because it’s too early — the
experiment won’t officially begin
until the 1990s.
“Students who come through in
the 1990s and 2000s will definitely
be involved with data from this pro
gram,” Nowlin said.
A major component of the World
Climate Research Program. WOCE
will emphasize how the ocean and at
mosphere interact in terms of mo
mentum, heat, and water exchanges,
he said.
Nowlin, chairman of the US-
WOCE Science Steering Committee,
said WOCE is different because it’s a
coordinated global study involving a
series of satellites, ships and the ef
forts of scientists from all over the
world. It addresses a part of ocean
ography that individuals and small
groups may have difficulty pursuing
on their own, he said.
Projects within WOCE include
worldwide monitoring of sea level
changes, obtaining physical and

TDC chairman

AUSTIN (AP) — Alfred Hughes
of Austin says he may step down as
chairman of the Texas Department
of Corrections board next year — af
ter the Legislature acts on TDC ap
propriations.
“I intend to serve as chairman
through the (1987) legislative session
and after the TDC finances are han
dled by the Legislature I would be
willing to step back as just a board
member,” Hughes said Tuesday.
“I’d love to just step back to board
level and coordinate construction in
the prison system,” he said. “Two
years as chairman is enough for any
one.”
Hughes, an appointee of outgoing
Gov. Mark White, has four more
years to serve on a six-year term.
“I think I will eventually be off the
board,” he said. “I can’t see anyone
serving all six years.”
During his recent campaign,
Gov.-elect Bill Clements called for
the ouster of all TDC board mem
bers named by White.
Clements met Monday with
Hughes and all state officials in
volved with the prison system, in
cluding Attorney General Jim Mat
tox.
Hughes said he and Clements did
not discuss his possible resignation.
“I would like to reduce my in
volvement with TDC considerably
and eventually be off the board,”
Hughes said after the meeting. “I
certainly don’t intend to serve my
six-year appointment. But I do in
tend to serve until we get on the
right track.”
After the meeting, Mattox said, “I
have proposed to him (Clements)
that the prison matter be dealt with
in a totally non-partisan-type basis.
It is a problem that is so big that even
if he and I worked together on it,
we’re still going to have a very diffi
cult time bringing about a solution to
the problem.”
