David Peterson won first place among first graders in his chess class, age 12 and under, at the Na tional Junior High School Chess Championship in California, accord ing to tournament organizer Dewain Barber. David was one of about 20 from his age in the tournament, which in volved more than 450 children from 35 states. He won four games, lost three and drew once. “It was a bad game,” he said of the draw to a 14-year-old. “Naw, it was a good game — but 1 let him have my game.” Restaurant Reporton c ■ _j. rm I ! A * | ’’S' A David’s father, Richard Peterson, who has played in chess tourna ments for more than 12 years, says chess “is a wonderful way to help children learn to think ahead.” “I wanted David to be able to rec ognize that everything has conse quences,” he said. “Kids are caught up in immediate gratification. Peo ple have stopped thinking ahead.” H as David ever beat his mentor- father? “Yep,” David said with a smirk. “He just heat me fair and square,” his father said, shrugging. “I’m an ‘A’ player (one notch down from “expert”). For him to beat me is like a Little Leaguer hitting a major- league home run.” David has attended chess tourna ments in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Nev. and Albuquerque, N.M. and though he hasn’t won money yet, he plans to win some “to save for col lege.” By Curtis L. Culberson Assistant City Editor The College Station restau rants listed below were inspected from April 20 through April 24 by the Brazos County Health De partment. The information is based on food service establish ment inspection reports. SCORED BETWEEN 85 AND 90: Pepe’s Mexican Food Restau rant in Post Oak Mall was in spected by Mike Lester. Score — 88. A five-point violation was cited in the report because a back- siphonage preventor was needed on a three-compartment sink. Two points were subtracted in the report because some food items were left uncovered in a walk-in cooler. Five one-point mi nor violations were cited in the report including: some dirty soda dispensers, a reach-in cooler that needed cleaning and some cool ers and freezers that needed ther mometers.

University Or TAMU ijii I 3 Oceanography program to offer new honors course scandal. wlVii it v (lived j awarding West Eoi ■’That' decide,” Trie Wet By Bridget Harrow Reporter If collecting phytoplankton and zooplankton really interests you, or if you’re insatiably curious about the patterns of the ocean, two honors courses in oceanography will he of fered during the fall semester that may appeal to you. Oceanography 401 H, “Introduc tion to Oceanography and Ocean- graphy 485H, Satellites in Oceanog raphy, are courses designed to give students a greater challenge and un derstanding of oceanograpy than in regular courses, said Dr. Andrew Vastano, a Texas A&M oceanogra phy professor. “We give the student the chance to get more experience in what an oceangrapher does and what he thinks about problems,” he said. “We expand their knowlegdge of the ocean.” OCNG 40111 lias been offered at A&M for several semesters. Students in the class study the interdiscipli nary relationship between! the geo logical, physical, biological and .chemical aspects of oceanography. Four professors, one from each of four areas, are usually present each class period to assist the students on a one-to-one basis, Vastano said. “Having a person from each dif ferent discipline allows them to see how oceanography would attack a problem together, and combine their expertise,” he said. At least once or twice a semester, the OCNG 401H class travels to Gal veston to do shore and ship ecosystem samplings. Vastano said the students sometimes bring hack live samples to the lab and examine them with electron microscope facili ties. This is an extension of the field expet ience, he said. Vastano also teaches OCNG 485H, a new honors course which will he offered this fall, in which siu- dents study the remote .sensing of the ocean. The prerequisite for this course is OCNG 401 H. A new image processing system is being installed fol OCNG 101 IE which would enable students to actu ally look at remote sensory. Vastano hopes to take a look at the remote sensory of the T exas Gull Coast. “There area lot of different kinds ol satellite sensors in spacetolil understand the ocean, E said. “And we are tryinglotwl dents an appreciation forw-J of sensors are up there.” I lie data for the imagepnxes system is put on magnetic which is obtained front rftfil government, Vastano said.te data is put through thesvstetrj the computer can put images' 1 ! screen. Research group at A&M finds haven in new quartei By Rachel Cowan Reporter T he Texas A&M Geochemistry and Environmental Research Group has outgrown its O&M Building fa- cilit ies and will find haven in new off-campus quarters at the end of the semester. The new center will have research facilities for oceanographic and or ganic geochemistry, Jim Brooks, re search head,said. Aubrey Anderson, assistant head of the oceanography department, said, “We have outgrown the facili ties in the O&M Building. T he geo chemistry research group at A&M is one of the leading groups of this kind in the country.” T he new facility is three miles out of town on Graham and Shaffer streets and sits on four acres of land. It covers 10,000 square feet — 3,000 square feet of office space and 7,()()() square feet of laboratory and ware house facilities. This is approximately three times as large as the labs in the O&M Building, Brooks said. Many of the center's field opera tions are being carried '6uU new location, he said. The building cost $300,01' modifications cost $400,00(1 equipment was not purduvj the center, so modificationsM fixing up labs and warehouse' said.
