CHRIS MENCZER The Battalion One of the world’s fore most earth scientists will host a lecture on his research of the earth’s atmosphere today at 4 p.m. in 101 Halbouty Building. Dr. Fred Mackenzie, pro fessor of geology, geophysics and oceanography at the University of Hawaii- Manoa’s school of Oceanog raphy and Earth science and Technology, is the first hold er of the $1 million Michel T. Halbouty Visiting Chair in Geology and Geophysics. “[The lecture will be] con cerned with the carbon diox ide content in the atmos phere over the last 300 years,” Mackenzie said. Michel T7 Halbouty, Class of ’30, said he is visiting to support Mackenzie. “This is the only visiting chair tour at A&M, ” Halbouty said. “I understand that other colleges in the University are interested in what we are do ing at the College of Geo science, and want to set up their own visiting chairs.” Dr. Andrew Hajash, head of the Department of Geolo gy and Geophysics, said Mackenzie is author and/or co-author of more than 150 scholarly publications on topics such as oceanography, -earth sciences and bio-geo chemistry. He said the endowment gives the University a chance to learn more about different disciplines. “This endowment gives our department a chance every year to bring in a new world renowned scientist,” Hajash said. Fire THE PHOENIX BOX Continued from Page 1 originally said the utilities, including electricity and gas, had been shut off at the time of the fire, but Hilliard said the utilities were turned on when the fire occurred. Some suspicion had been raised surrounding the cause of the fire when it was thought the utilities had been turned off. He said the fire came at a difficult time for the frater nity. “It was such a freak acci dent and a tragedy,” he said. “The house had six years of memories and sentimen tal value, it was a difficult time for the fraternity be cause it happened during re cruitment time.” ^ _W1 Freud % first session with 4 transvejfe' Victims Continued from Page 1 McHam said Warden was a spiri tual person who would not have changed his passion for skydiving, even if he had known it would take his life. “He had such strong ties with peo ple that he has friends from Boston and California coming in for his ser vice on one day’s notice,” he said. Warden, Class of ’97, was em ployed by Dura, a pharmaceutical company, and is survived by his wife and two dogs. Fish BY R.
