Ocean Drilling Program until 2003
By BRANDI JORDAN
Reporter of THE BATTALION
The Ocean Drilling Program, a
$40-million--a-year program in
earth sciences at Texas A&M Uni
versity, has been renewed
through October 2003.
The director of ODP, Dr. Philip
D. Rabinowitz, announced the
program's renewal at an employ
ee brunch on Tuesday.
Texas A&M is the science oper
ator for the program, which in
vestigates the origin and evolu
tion of the earth's crust, changes
in global climate, ocean currents,
worldwide sea levels and the
earth's magnetic field.
The National Science Founda
tion funds the ODP with contri
butions from 19 member coun
tries including many European
entities, Canada, Australia, Japan
and the former Soviet Union.
The National Science Board,
made up of a panel of scientists,
will review the program in 1998
to determine if it should continue
scientific ocean drilling using the
drill ship 'JOIDES Resolution' or
if it should explore other options.
"Alternative methods could in
clude platform drilling, a second
ship or a number of other models
that we haven't even thought of
yet," Rabinowitz said.
Committee members noted in
their preliminary review that the
ODP is "widely acclaimed as one
of the best (if not the best) pro
grams that has ever been attempt
ed."
The ODP, which began its op
erations in 1984, has drilled in all
of the world's oceans and seven
of its seas. During that time,ilrt
covered more than 60 milesu
sediment and rock that enable;
researchers from around thf
world to study the earth's oiign
and evolution. ^
Scientific accomplishmenil
over the past nine years include i
revising the history of continent
and oceans, and advancinf
knowledge regarding climatolog)
and biological evolution.
Scientists from around (lie
world now have opportunities i
better understand the interaction:
between the air, ocean and lithos
phere as well as geochemicalq
cles and energy exchanges.
During its nine years
drilling, more than 1,000 scientist
from 30 countries have sailel
aboard 'JOIDES Resolution
which is currently onits45il
cruise.

IkM AAM Utafewtr • CHMafcM
A&M, UT receive
joint endowment
By JULI PHILLIPS
Reporter of THE BATTALION
A $4 million transportation re
search center has brought rival
schools, Texas A&M University
and the University of Texas, to
gether again.
The facility, named the Center
for Aggregate Research, was
opened last week by the two uni
versities through an endowment
from the Aggregate Foundation
for Technology. A combined
Texas A&M-University of Texas
proposal for the endowment beat
out 11 other proposals from 26
other universities across the coun
try. According to Texas A&M's
University Relations, Aggregate
Foundation officials cited the high
national rankings of the engineer
ing programs, state-of-the-art fa
cilities and on-going research pro
grams at both schools as reasons
for choosing the joint proposal.
The center holds offices in both
College Station and Austin allow
ing the two universities to share
the research.
Dr. Dallas Little, the Herbert
Kelleher Professor of Transporta
tion at Texas A&M, will direct ac
tivities at the A&M center and UT
civil engineer. Dr. David Fowler
will be the coordinator of the
Austin-located center. The main
focus of the center, as a whole, is
to conduct research to lead to
more effective and efficient use of
the components of road pave
ments. Although the pavement
components, also referred to as
aggregate materials, are not con
templated by the average driver.
Little said the research will affect
a lot of business and, therefore, a
lot of money.
"Aggregate manufacturers and
suppliers represent the largest®
tity in the highway industry,®
industry that itself represent!
nearly 18 percent of the Unitei
States gross national product," 1*
said. "When you look at the high
way industry as a whole, thegr® 1
significance of this effort is moK
evident."
Dr. Charley Wootan, the dir®
tor of Texas Transportation Inst
tute, said the joint research be
tween the schools is not the firs 1
combined effort.
"There are many research p®
grams going on between the re
gional universities," he said.
Wootan explained that the base
center's Austin location does no 1
diminish the importance of A&M
in the effort.
"The universities in the effort
normally decide who will take the
lead, but the research is always
evenly split," he said.
Little said the concentration at
the A&M center will be on asphalt
aggregates and the concentration
of the Austin center will been
Portland concrete; the white con
crete.
"We have overlapping expel-
tise in these areas, so even though
these are our focuses, we will not
be bound by these lines by anl
means," Little said.
According to University Rela
tions, the Texas Department of
Transportation played an impor
tant factor in getting the center lo
cated in Texas.
"(The department of trans
portation) was very supportive in
enticing the center to locate here,
Little said in a press release. "The
department clearly has a strong
commitment to research and thal
was more evident in their support
of this (Texas A&M-UT) propos
al."
