I was afraid I’d have a hangover on the show, so I didn’t drink anything.” Smith, who appeared third in the contestant lineup, said appearing on the program gave him the opportunity to display his Aggie spirit. “For my intro, I did my wildcat and the pass-back, which some people might not understand if they’re not from A&M,” Smith said. Sitting in the hot seat across from “Millionaire” host Meredith Vieira, Smith answered questions concerning such varied topics as Brigham Young University, “The Sopranos” and the Big Bang theory. The question that ended Smith’s round focused on the garage band, The Hives. Now back at A&M, Smith’s vast knowledge of trivia is not wasted. “He is always helping me with my homework,” said Sean Conner, a sophomore civil engi neering major. “Scott’s pretty much one of the smartest guys I know.” Marcos Rosales, a sopho more chemical engineering major and Smith’s roommate said the more time he spends with Smith, the more he realizes how knowledgeable he really is. “Once, I played Trivial Pursuit and it was Scott and me against his whole family,” he said. “We beat them in two turns because of Scott.” Rosales said Smith’s intellect is helpful on an everyday level as well. “Whenever I’m reading or doing anything l don’t under stand, I just ask Scott. He’s bet ter than a dictionary, and he always knows the answer,” he said. For Smith, watching himself compete for $l million on national television is just the beginning. “Being on ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ was eerie and unreal, but a lot of fun,” Smith said. “I’m thinking Jeopardy is next.” Ship Sign up : Wednesday Feb. 5 lh 9am-4pm Friday Feb.

At 2,700 feet below the sur face, the water conditions are not only at near freezing tempera tures, the water pressure is more than 1,200 pounds per square inch of water. Finding a vessel such as the Western Empire in the Gulf of Mexico is not a rare occurrence, said Dr. Bill Bryant, A&M pro fessor of oceanography. Thousands of ships of all sizes have gone down in the gulf dur ing the years, he said. Researchers discovered the Western Empire when they were heading back to shore following an exploration of a ship called the Mica. Two years ago, employees of an oil company working on an undersea pipe came across the Mica, and from this chance encounter came a research proj ect made possible by a $250,000 backing from Exxon Mobil. A synergy between archeolo gy and oceanography must be achieved to uncover all the mys teries behind ships such as the Mica and the Western Empire, Phanuef said. It is a process of knowing when the ship sank, and how the wreck occurred and inferring what was going on in the ocean at that time. Oil companies have compiled a list of nearly 300 ships that have gone down in the Gulf of Mexico, and these are just two of those, leaving many more discoveries for oceanographers as well as nautical archeologists, who have also taken interest in the study of these ships’ remains. “The Gulf of Mexico holds the largest collection of deep-sea ships that have not yet been dis covered, and we hope to head back down there as soon as the funds allow,” Phaneuf said. women serving in ourspacep gram,” Bush said. “This cause of explora and discovery is not an we choose: it is a desire will in the human heart,” the p dent said. “We find the among us, send them forth unmapped darkness, and p they will return. They go peace for all mankind, and mankind is in their debt.” “Yet, some explorers do return. And the loss sell unfairly on a few.” he said. “The people of NASA being tested again.” Afterward, in his pri meeting with family memhi Bush told them, “T‘m sorry we have to meet under these t cumstances.
