Dr. Gardner is presently a senior scientist with NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Gardner earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1971. He has previously worked as a research associate and assistant professor at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and as a chemist at the Colombia National Fishery Research Laboratory. Dr. Gardner has been at the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory since 1979, was supervisor oftheir Ecosystemand Nutrient Dynamics Group from 1981 to 1989, and most recently a senior physical scientist. The future Director of MSI is already well known to many at the Marine Science Institute through professional contacts and joint research interests as well as his participation in a cruise aboard the RIVLONGHORN only a few years ago. rifty 'Year !AntUversarg: 1946 -1996 TONYAMOS INTEXAS TOP TWENTY-"The most impressive, intriguing, and influential Texans of 1996" -that is how Texas Monthly describes them on the September cover. And while Chuck Norris occupies the cover, it is "Altruistic Amos", in his now familiar Moses pose, this time complete with halo, who stands atop the table of contents page. Now, kindly turn to page 114, for a full facing page color photo of the MSI Mustang Island Moses along with accompanying highly complimentary article. If you don't subscribe to Texas Monthly, you will want to at least pick up the September issue. MSI Employee Proud Parent of John Huntington, a seventh grader last year, scored 560 on the math and 550 on the verbal on the SAT in connection with the Duke University TIP program. This year, John again took the SAT, scoring 560 on the math and a perfect 800 on the verbal!!!! Copepod Soup -I recently attended the sixth international conference of the World Association of Copepodologists in Oldenburg, Germany. This meeting was attended by over three hundred scientists from around the world who study copepods. We all know that copepods are an important link in marine food chains, and are the favorite food ofmany fish and whales, but even I was surprised to find so many people who have dedicated their lives to studying the little critters. We spent a week of total copepod emersion, learning answers to many of the questions about copepods that even I was afraid to ask (my contribution to this copepodological extravaganza was a 40 minute invited talk on the mating behavior of copepods-including "X-rated" videotapes). They had lots ofnice copepod souvenirs to bring home to the wife and kids, including T-shirts, coffee mugs, balloons and post cards, all adorned with images of our favorite copepod species. Since we know that all work and no play makes Ed a dull copepodologist, we also had a tour ofa local brewery, tours of marine labs in Bremerhaven and Helgoland, and a nice conference dinner, where copepodologists from different countries made local dishes for participants. The highlight of this dinner was being served copepod soup-made with real copepods. Ten kilograms of frozen copepods (Calamus finmarchicus, for those in the know) were delivered to Oldenburg and turned into a quite tasty soup. An ample portion of these rice-grain sized copepods gave the soup a reddish color and a crustaceany taste somewhere between crabs and shrimp. The wax esters that the copepods use for storage products proved a challenge to the human digestive system, however, and the local fire-marshall had to put a ban on open flames at the next day's proceedings. Overall, a wonderful time was had by all. -Ed Buskey !Fifty ~earJll.nni:uusarg: 1946 -1996 Travel ending between August 3 and August 23 +Ed Buskey, July 27-August 5, Oldenburg, Germany, present invited lecture, Reproductive behavior of Copepods, at the Sixth International Conference on Copepoda. +Rick Tinnin, July 26-August 6, Portland Maine and Durham, New Hampshire, visit elementary school summer camp using marine science activities and attend National Marine Educators Conference as board member, present papers on MES programs and workshops and co-present M.A.R.E. project. +Joan Holt, Connie Arnold, August 5-6, Houston, Texas, to participate in TAMU Sea Grant Aquaculture Plan Meeting. + Cameron Pratt, Scott Holt, Kathy Binney, August 8-9, Port Mansfield, Texas, field work on research on effect of brown tide on larval fishes. +Noe Cantu, August 9, Houston, Texas, deliver reverse osmosis water system from the RIVLONGHORN to company for repair. +James Kaldy, August 11-14, Port Isabel, Texas, field work in Laguna Madre. +Joan Holt, August 11-15, College Station, Texas, present paper, The importance ofhighly unsaturated fatty acids in diets of Larval Red Drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, at the VII International Symposium on Nutrition and Feeding of Fish + Allen Davis, August 11-15, present paper, Evaluation of nutrient-dense diets for the Red Drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, at the VII International Symposium on Nutrition and Feeding of Fish. +Connie Arnold, August 11-15, participate in the VII International Symposium on Nutrition and Feeding of Fish. + Ken Dunton, August 5-16, London, England and Cologne, Germany, work with colleagues at the Museum of Natural History and present paper, Physiological strategies ofgrowth and photosynthesis in Arctic Laminariacea at the First European Phycological Congress. + Noe Cantu, August 13-17, Merida and Progreso, Mexico, to make arrangements for the RIV LONGHORN to make port at Progreso twice during the September NSF/Buffler cruise. +Terry Whitledge, August 18-19, Washington, D.C., attend National Science Foundation review panel meeting for SBIR and Oceanography Divisions. • Dr. Ed Buskey, MSI, The swarming behavior ofthe copepod Dioithona oculata in the mangroves ofBelize, August 9. rtjty 'Year Y&miversary: 1946 -1996 C. H. Oppenheimer -Carl Oppenheimer was the Director of the Marine Science Institute during 1971 and 1972. Dr. Oppenheimer came to MSI from Florida State University, where he had been Director of the Edward Ball Marine Laboratory and Chairman of the Department of Oceanography for the previous three years. He was actually returning to Port Aransas and the Marine Science Institute after an absence of about 10 years. Carl first came to the University of Texas at Austin and the Marine Science Institute in 1957 as a Research Scientist and Lecturer in Microbiology during the Directorship ofH. T. Odum. In addition to his time at UT and Florida State, Dr. Oppenheimer reached the rank of Associate Professor at the Institute ofMarine Science ofthe University ofMiami. Dr. Oppenheimer retired in 1991 as Professor of Marine Science at UT after a career spanning some 41 years since his graduation from the prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He was appointed Professor Emeritus in 1992. However, CHO, as he is sometimes known, is far from retired. As the active President ofhis own company, which has offices in several countries, he continues to go full speed. Dr. Oppenheimer is considered by many to be a pioneer in the field of bioremediation and petroleum recovery using microbial techniques. He received Fulbright Fellowships for work in both Norway and Italy. He has served on or chaired numerous panels and committees including those of the National Science Foundation, the Florida Governor's Commission on Marine Science and Technology, a sub-panel of the President's Science Advisory Committee on Oceanography, U. S. Representative in the NATO Advisory Panel on Eco-Sciences, Chairman ofthe International Conference on Environmental Data Management for NATO, and Chairman ofthe Environmental Task Force-Nuclear Energy Centers Project for the Southern States Energy Board. His work has taken him to Great Britain, Germany, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Nigeria, Monaco, Italy, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the former USSR, Brazil, and Peru. He has about 140 publications including papers in refereed journals, books, symposia, technical reports, and newsletters. Out of a career which will in not too many years be half a century, only about two years, 1971and1972, were as Director of the Marine Science Institute of The University of Texas. While his short tenure as Director was to some extent marked by controversy, it stands out as one in which great progress was made on the physical facilities of the Marine Science Institute. The building program was revitalized and construction begun on a new laboratory building and wet lab, a new dormitory, an 8-unit apartment building for graduate students, and an extensive physical plant support facility. Perhaps the most important part of the legacy from his tenure is the UT-Boat Basin. At this time the area was privately owned, with the Marine Science Institute having only a small boathouse North of the Aransas Pilots installation by the entrance to the basin. When the Enco Marina became available for purchase, CHO initiated the actions which, for the sum of only $325,000, brought this premier piece of channel frontproperty to the ownership ofThe University of Texas. Dr. Oppenheimer also played an important role in working with Mrs. Lund in setting up guidelines for the E. J. Lund fund. rifty 'Year !Anniversarg: 1946 -1996 • Dr. Greta A. Fryxell, Senior Research Fellow at UTMSI and Adjunct Professor of Biology at UT-Austin, was honored on July 18 with "The PSAAward ofExcellence in Phycology" by the Phycological Society of America at its 50th anniversary meeting in Santa Cruz, California. The award was given "in recognition of her sustained scholarly contributions in phycology." Dr. Fryxell specializes in the study of marine phytoplankton, the base ofthe food chain in the open ocean. She has recently turned her attention to the changes that are taking place in the coastal flora, a subject of interest to several others at UTMSI. The award was presented at the annual banquet of the Society by Chair of the Awards Committee, Dr. Dennis Hanisak of the Harbor Branch Foundation. Two such awards were given for the first time at this meeting, the other going to Dr. Richard Starr, Department ofBotany, UT-Austin. The Phycological Society of America was founded by a handful of phycologists in 1946 and now has close to 2,000 members and subscribers. It is dedicated to the scientific study of all forms of algae and publishes The Journal of Phycology. • The MSI volunteers, led by Kathy Binney, have received a certificate from the Governor for their work in keeping a portion of the Island Road clean of beer cans and you name it. The group was reported to be greatly appreciative for this certificate, albeit generic and xeroxed.

In witness andappreciation whereof, I have setmyhand on this 17th dayofJuly, 1996. A~ ~~EW.BUSH !Fifty '.Year !Anniversary: 1946 -1996 • Greetings from your long absent Russian correspondent! First I apologize for neglecting you, but Boris has kept me so busy with his election. Besides your wonderful Lazarette Gazette I am keeping up with the news through the Texas Monthly, and I read ofthe selection ofTony Amos and Chuck Norris as two ofthe top twenty influential Texans. I thought to myself, "Mbi He .3HaeM, ifChuck Norris and Tony Amos can find time to write columns for the Lazarette Gazette, then Mbi He .3HaeM, you can write one letter." Mr. Editor, I congratulate your prescience. To think that your newsletter has for so long featured regular contributions from two ofthe twenty most influential Texans. I understand how it is that Mr. Amos provides his "Tony's Tidings" but it is amazing that you have persuaded Mr. Norris, in his role as Walker, Texas Ranger, to explain the rules and regulations to the MS! employees and students in his "Bureaucratic Beatitudes" column. Perhaps you can add Lou Diamond Phillips or Michael Erwin. (To the editor from Mbi He 3 HaeM) Recent changes to the MSI Home Page on the World Wide Web include a brief summary of the Open House (held on May 25th). Included in that update is an electronic photo album of many of the activities that day. The photos were taken by Murray Judson for the South Jetty newspaper. In addition, color photos ofmost ofour faculty have replaced the older black and white pictures. -Lee Fuiman Editor's Note: Bob Huntington and his son John recently completed their traditional summer camping trip. Bob and John have camped at lots of places and has collected a file on great places to camp which he will soon donate to the Port Aransas Library as well as keeping a duplicate file personally for MS/ folks to borrow. Below Bob provides a few highlights for MS/ Campers from the recent trip: • Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico -Stunning! At 8,000 ft. elevation we were treated to 50-60 night and 60-70 day temperatures, along with aromatic pine trees, daily deluges of cool rain, chickpea sized hail, and a bear trying to chew off the camper lock. • Guadalupe National Park, Texas -deserves a week-long exploration. At over 6,000 feet it's a different environment but still relatively cool. This is a wilderness area with no roads, so you have to pick your trailheads before you drive there. Trails are rugged and camping primitive. • Lake Colorado City State Recreation Area -Just as a point of interest to our marine-oriented community, this is a coal-fired powerplant cooling lake that is stocked with salt-water redfish. Because reproduction is not a goal, there is no maximum size, and fish 36" and 45" are not uncommon. While looking for crawfish for bait, we noticed that there were none, nor were there any other obvious benthic macro-organisms other than the ubiquitous naiads and....thousands of small (to l") Xanthid crabs, suspiciously similar to our saltwater species, successfully reproducing and apparently devastating the aquatic and benthic invertebrate populations in the lake. Unfortunately, with respect to cleanliness, condition and repair of facilities, and camping, this place is the pits. -Bob Huntington riftg 'Year !Jlnni.versarg: 1946 -1996 r --... -,,,.-:---"" .,,, , -.,, ~ 1 ~~~,:~::_}-}~-~-~~yr,''( '\JJT·~~~t~~~~~~,,,,,~----~~ ~.-~~-~~---~~~~----~----~ _ -------~------: Lazergraphics Film Recorder -The LFR is almost paid off.

I am inclined to keeping the price at $2 per slide for a couple of months so that I can upgrade the machine. The LFR board was installed on a Windows 95 machine, and LFR is offering a significant upgrade. I'd like to buy the LFR Upgrade and Windows 95 graphics software. I need to know what graphics software you are using to make slides, and which version you are using. Please let me know which software you would like to see updated. Use e-mail to PAUL, and I will keep a tally. -Paul Montagna WATER CONSUMPTIONREDUCED 25%-MORE REDUCTIONSNEEDED: South Texas is now in an extreme drought situation with the lake levels at Choke Canyon and Lake Corpus Christi beginning to reach critical low levels. The Marine Science Institute is the fourth largest water consumer in the Port Aransas area (Nueces Water Control & Improvement District #4). Virtually all use of "city" water for lawns and plants has long since ceased at MSI (by using the MSI shallow water well system or just not watering). A special outlet on the well system has been installed to allow cleaning of vehicles and boats. The MSI Maintenance Crew and many Students and Scientific Staff are on the alert to eliminate leaks and other wastage. This has resulted in a decrease in water consumption of slightly more than 25% over the last six months (from 9,269 MG to 6,916 MG). Nevertheless, MSI water consumption reaches about 1,000,000 gallons every month. Further reductions and the help of everyone is needed. Reduce your own water consumption. Report leaks, wastage, abuses. BLESSED ARE THEY WHO RETAINAND TURN INALL THEIR GAS CREDIT CARD RECEIPTS Listen pardner, be advised that you need to retain and turn in to the Fiscal Office all those gas credit card receipts. Those gals in the Fiscal Office need em; irregardless, including when you use the fancy new auto-charging machines. Ever one of them rascals I ever saw will upchuck you a receipt if you just press the right button and wait for it. Its so simple even an Aggie could do it, long as he doesn't have more than one degree. -Walker !Fift!J 'Year Ylnni.versarg: 1946 -1996 • I was pleased to receive the copy ofthe August 2, 1996, issue ofthe Lazarette Gazette. I was on the MS! faculty 1961-1964 during the Tom Odum years. I read your publication with interest and would like to remain on your mailing list. I note a reference to a previous "Curly Wohlschlag" issue and wonder ifone of these is still available. I was Curly's first graduate student (at Stanford) and later, when I was at MSI, recommended (together with Clark Hubbs) that he be offered the job ofDirector ofMSI. This occurred when Odum left to accept a job in Puerto Rico. I see that old friends John Thompson and Bill Behrens are still there. Please give them my best regards. Best to Curly too. Sincerely, (from John C. {Jack} Briggs, Professor Emeritus) Cruise #96-671-This ten day cruise during late July was sponsored by the National Science Foundation for Dr. Curtis Suttle's Marine Viruses work. Curtis Suttle . ·-;. .' was the Chief Scientist. Others in the scientific party were Melissa Bootz, LeAnna ·';~:Hutchinson, Steven Short, Delfino Garza, Amy Chan, and Steven Wilhelm. From Port :g Aransas RIV LONGHORN headed Southeast to a site 210 miles off shore of Mexico. -Drift-buoys were deployed in the mornings and picked up in the evenings. CTD's were done three times a day along with water collections and filtrations. During the trip out the starboard engine shut down and it was discovered that the reason was a four inch line wrapped around the rudder shoe and the wheel and shaft. A number ofhours ofdiving in rough seas by Noe Cantu and Hayden Abel were required to cut free the line. Chief Scientist Suttle reported the cruise as fully successful and commented: The crew ofthe LONGHORN was exceptional and contributed greatly to a very successful trip. Ship was in good shape-no mechanical problems. Cruise #96-672-This was a day cruise on August 3 carried out for Dr. Lee Fuiman's class, MNS s354C, Biology ofFishes. Because ofhigh wind and seas it was not possible to reach a rig 30 miles offshore and snorkel as planned. The cruise was shortened to ten miles offshore and it was possible to successfully take two trawls. REVISED LIST OF GRADUATES -This issue of the Lazarette Gazette includes a newly revised listing of all those who have earned graduate degrees with work at the Marine Science Institute. The list has gotten considerably longer since the last time it was published in the LazGaz; it now numbers 148 individuals (earning 161 degrees). There have been many changes ofpositions and addresses. And we have added the e-mail address for many. While we have now located a few lost individuals, unfortunately others have disappeared from our current address list. With work on the reunion soon to start it is especially important that we locate these folks. Anyone who knows the current address of the following persons, please advise the editor: James F. Cole, Richard F. Leo, Michael S. Litwin, Larry G. Maurer, Joseph W. Pardue, Charles R. Powell, Russell L. Smith, Carol M. Volkman, Ronald F. Wilson. rift!!

But if you don't want them every day, you can instead order a hamburger, a chicken strip basket, a chicken fried steak, soft or crispy tacos, chalupas, or enchiladas. And a salad bar is available for $1.50. Daily specials are also planned. While on the masthead Linda Yates has depicted CHO as he might have looked sailing in 1971, the little guys gobbling up the oil spill are in reference to his later research work and present enterprise in bioremediation. The other caricature was not drawn by Linda; CHO provided it, so we can assume he does not find it objectionable. Jane and I received early notice on the Tony Amos achievement in Texas Monthly from son Ethan, who has recently written a few small items for them. I asked Ethan if he had used his influence in Tony's behalfin repayment for the help Tony gave some years back on Ethan's Eagle Scout project (lab work on historic Port A photos). "No", but if asked he certainly would have. And a great many others would have also. It is a special tribute to Tony to see so many thrilled at his selection and proud to know him! In regard to "sons", it was ex-Director Patrick Parker's newspaper-reporter-son, Dan, who was on the phone last night in preparing his article in Tuesday's Corpus Christi Caller on the appointment of Dr. Wayne Gardner as the new Director. Dan called just as I was hearing news of Tropical Storm Dolly----causing a sudden flashback in my mind to 26 years ago, a Hurricane threat to Port Aransas, Dr. Parker in Japan, Thompsons fleeing Port A along with the remaining Parkers, including oldest but still young son Dan, who rode much ofthe way in the Thompson Bronco, entertaining us with precocious questions and conversation. -John Thompson GRADUATE DEGREES AWARDED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MARINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE STUDENTS AGUIRRE, Juan Xavier ALDRIDGE, James Barrett AMON, Rainer M.W.
