At 6 a.m. Jan. 5, on board the drill
ship Resolution, Caryn Smith began
her 12-hour shift assisting 25 scien
tists from countries such as Ger
many, France, Japan, Canada and
the United States.
As she began her shift in the 30-
degree temperatures, Frank Rack
ended his 12-hour shift. Smith and
Rack, Texas A&M oceanography
graduate students, are the research
assistants on Leg 1 13 of the interna
tional Ocean Drilling Program.
Dressed in insulated suits, parkas
and gloves. Smith and Rack watched
penguins, seals and whales in the
Weddell Sea, a part of the South At
lantic Ocean in Antarctica.
The A&M students were partici
pating in a program that unites sci
entists and governments worldwide
to study the earth’s structure and
history from the oceans’ floors.
The Resolution continuously
cruises the oceans while drilling core
samples of sediment and rock. Two
oceanography graduate students
from A&M serve as research assis
tants on every two-month cruise.
The rock samples are studied by
teams of scientists from the Joint
Oceanographic Institutions for
Deep Earth Sampling.
Smith and Rack spent eight weeks
eating, sleeping and working on the
ship that measures 471 feet long and
70 feet wide.
Smith says the assistants arrive for
their stay on the little floating world
armed with one did fie bag of gear.
The best part of the experience for
her was working with scientists from
all over the world, she said.
Because the assistants switched
shifts at 6 a.m. and the scientists
switched at 12 p.m., each assistant
was able to work with all scientists on
the cruise, Rack says.
Although both Smith and Rack
spent most of their time splitting
core samples or producing seismic
profiles of the sea floor, they had
some time for recreation.
The- ship, along with its seven-
story stack of laboratories, houses a
library and gymnasium. They could
read paperbacks, learn foreign lan
guages, play video games on com
puters or work out, Rack says. Smith
says' she also jogged on the heli
copter landing pad.
Leg 113 was Rack’s second trip on
the Resolution. His first trip was Leg
105 in Baffin Bay, north of Canada.
It was Smith’s first cruise, but she
says she’d like to go again.
Clements to give OK
to plan for tax reform
raising more money
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem
ents, backing down from his no-
new-taxes pledge, Wednesday said
he would approve a tax-reform
plan that raises more money than
the $2.9 billion limit he set earlier.
Emerging from a two-hour meet
ing with Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, House
Speaker Gib Lewis and Comptrol
ler Bob Bullock, Clements said he is
being flexible in trying to write a
balanced 1988-89 state budget.
Under the plan being discussed
by the leaders, Clements said, the
sales tax rate would be lowered. At,
the same time, the base would be
broadened to include items and
services not now taxed.
If that raises more money than
the $2.9 billion he previously said
was the maximum he would ap
prove, that’s all right, Clements
said.
“It’s entirely possible,” Clements
told a news conference. “You bet-
cha. That would hopefully be an
objective, that we might increase
our revenues and at the same time
reduce the rates.”
Asked about his oft-repeated
threats to veto any tax plan that
wasn’t “revenue neutral,” Clements
replied: “Well, we’re not going to
dwell on that.”
Clements’ announcement came
the day after he concluded a 17-city
tour launched to rally public sup
port for his position against higher
taxes.
Aides said the change was a move
by Clements to end the impasse that
has kept the governor and the Leg
islature at odds for months. It
comes less than four weeks before
lawmakers end their regular ses
sion.
Reggie Bashur, the governor’s
press secretary, said, “You show
leadership by compromise and try
ing to solve problems, not by draw
ing lines in the dirt.
“He’s trying to be flexible. He’s
trying to accommodate in the pur
suit of solving the problem and
doing it without a special session.”
The impasse developed after
Clements proposed a $36.9 billion
budget that would require the $2.9
billion in extra taxes. Then the Sen
ate approved a $39.9 billion budget
that needs nearly $6 billion more,
and tfie House approved a $39.4
billion spending plan.
“What I have done here is once
again demonstrate my flexibility,”
Clements said. “I’ve been telling
y’all all this time how flexible I am,
but you wouldn’t believe me. And
now you have positive proof of it.”
All three leaders said no final
deal has been struck. They plan an
other meeting Thursday, Clements
said.
Officials rule
woman's death
a homicide
FORT WORTH (AP) — A preg
nant woman whose nude body was
recovered from a rain-swollen creek
had been strangled — not drowned
as police initially believed, authori
ties said.
The 20-year-old woman’s hus
band, Domingo Turro, 42, was
charged with murder and held in
lieu of $30,000 bond at the Tarrant
County Jail Wednesday, officials
said.
Medical Examiner Nizam Peer-
wani ruled Tuesday that the death
of Carolyn Williams of Fort Worth
was a homicide.
Williams’ body was recovered
Monday, and Turro told police she
was riding with him,in a car that was
washed away from a low-water cross
ing during heavy rains Sunday
night.
He said he climbed to safety but
was unable to reach her, and that he
could not see signs marking the
crossing and could not tell how deep
the water was. Her body was found
in a creek about a mile downstream.
Homicide Lt. Tommy Swan, who
declined to elaborate, said, “There
were several inconsistencies in the
information he gave us.” Turro said
he and Williams fiad been married
for eight months and that she was
three months pregnant.
