that. Redstone DOES have the lowest
rent on two bedroom apartments of any
comparable complex in town. And with
an annual lease you save even more.
Redstone is less than a mile from cam
pus. on the shuttle bus route and near
dozens of shops, banks and restaurants.
Redstone has a volleyball-pool, new
Jacuzzi with sun deck, security patrol
and on-site maintenance.
No apartment complex gives you more
than Redstone. (Even if we don’t give
you a 27-story parking garage with valet
service.)

6-year-old
ranks at top
in chess class
AUSTIN (AP) — A youngster
who learned chess from his father is
now the highest ranking 6-year-old
player in the country, his father says.
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.”

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.”

Oceanography program

■’That'

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

data is put through thesvstetrj

Research group at A&M

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

The building cost $300,01'
modifications cost $400,00(1
