uses A&M as headquarters
By Gina Rumore
Reporter
Texas A&M has been established as the U.S. Plan
ning Office headquarters for a global study of the
ocean.
An understanding of ocean circulation so that its in
fluence on climate may be predicted and measured for
use over large spans of time is the focus of World Ocean
Circulation Experiment, said Dave Mayes, an oceanog
raphy research associate at Texas A&M.
“This will be a 10-year global study spanning into the
l ms will be a lU-year global study spanning into the
1990s and will involve hundreds of scientists from
around the world,” Mayes said.
John Klinck, assistant professor of physical oceanog
raphy at A&M, said, “We have to think in terms of big
science. The ocean cannot be researched by only one or
two people. We need more than that.”
Mayes said the Planning Office has sent the draft of a
document describing U.S. proposals for WOCE in May
to more than 500 scientists around the country for re
view and search of better ideas for the study.
“A&M does not have direct influence on the plan
ning itself,” Mayes said. “It is used only as a facility for
collecting and distributing information.”
WOCE will be using resources such as satellites, fleets
of ships for collecting water samples and super comput
ers, Mayes said.
Funding for the U.S. program will come from the
National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the Office of Naval Re
search and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad
ministration.
Mayes said A&M may bid to the National Science
Foundation for an Accelerator Mass Spectrometry fa
cility after WOCE is put into motion.
“This facility will oe capable of analyzing radio, car
bon and other samples collected during WOCE," Mayes
said.
The review of the U.S. draft plan will end Sept. SO
and will be revised in November in preparation for the
International Scientific Conference in Paris.
Final approval of the plan will be made in January by
the U.S. Science Steering Committee.
“There will be a lot of benefits comming out of this
experiment,” Klinck said. “We will be able to go to
places that we don’t know much about now, like the far
South Pacific.”
Mayes said, “It is hard to tell if any A&M scientists
will be involved in the comming experiment because it
is still too early in the study but I hope so.”

Forrest Service closes
roads to campgrounds
of Rainbow members
Smith, the tl
and a runnt
LUFKIN (AP) — Forest Service
officials and U.S. marshals Wednes
day closed two roads in the Angelina
National Forest that lead to the
campsites of the back-to-nature
Rainbow Family, officials said.
The road closings come on the
heels of a temporary restraining or
der issued by the 5th Circuit Court
of Appeals in New Orleans that bans
the 1960s-style group from gather
ing in groups of more than 25 peo
ple.
Forest Service spokesman Gay Ip-
polito said the road closings were de
cided upon after talks between For
est Service officials.
“We have been working closely
with the Department of Public
Safety and Health Department and
decided this was the best way to en
force the order,” Ippolito said.
Mike Lannan, supervisor of the
national forests in Texas, said offi
cers served members of the Family
with copies of the^rder.
Forest Service officials had asked
Rainbow Family members to obtain
a use permit and comply with envi
ronmental concerns such as waste
disposal and water use. Group mem
bers have refused to get a permit,
maintaining the requirement violates
their constitutional right to peace
fully assemble.

Two Texas banks fail, make total 35
AUSTIN (AP) — Regulators
Thursday closed two Texas banks,
one in Austin and another in Kings-
land, bringing the number of failed
banks in the state to 35 this year.
Century National Bank of Austin
and Kingsland National Bank of
Kingsland were declared insolvent
by Robert J. Herrmann, senior dep
uty controller of the currency.
Austin will assume Century National
Bank’s deposits and liabilities. Cen
tury bank’s sole office will reopen
Friday as a branch of Community
National Bank and its depositors au
tomatically will become depositors of
the assuming bank, Austin said.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. was named as receiver for
both banks, said Carol Austin, an
FDIC spokesman.
Community National Bank of
Kingsland National Bank is being
assumed by Security Bank and Trust
of Fredericksburg. Kingsland Na
tional Bank’s office will reopen Fri
day as a branch office of Security
Bank and Trust and the failed
bank’s depositors will automatically
become depositors of Security Bank
and Trust.
Century National Bank had total
assets of about $56.5 million. Com
munity National Bank will assume
about $56.6 million in 5,600 deposit
accounts and will purchase $42.4
million of the failed bank’s assets, in
cluding $864,000 of the bank’s small
loans at a discount of $ 119,325.
