Students study sea life at Port Aransas
by Carey Reynolds
The Hambler
Gathering sea life for obser-
vation. Searching for sand dol-
lars after high tide. Watching the
stars at night and identifying the
constellations.
These are the activities that
students enrolled in Dr. Bobby
Deaton's M.O.S.S. (Meteorology/
Oceanography/Space Sciente)
class enjoyed in Port Aransas, TX,
Oct. 29-31. Dr. Deaton, profes-
sor of physics, took his class to
apply knowledge that the stu-
dents have learned all semester
on the University of Texas at
Austin Marine Science Institute's
research vessel, Kitty.
"One of the things that's
most important in the educa-.
tional experience is getting to see
the application in the field. I've
had students come back to me
over the years saying that this
was. the most important aspect
of education that they had. said
Dr. Bobby Deaton.
His students are fond of the
trip. "1 or the first time since I've
been here, I don't feel cheated
out of my tuition," said Sherry
Franklin.
"I think more classes should
do stuff like this because hands-
on learning is more important
than classroom learning," said
Michael Brandon, .
Suzanne Foxwonh compared
it to a floating .classroom. "We
had plankton tows and dredged
stuff from the bottom.,. We got
to actually hold the aquatic life.
and we saw a 3-day-old baby
stingray."
She also described the on-
board screen that.let the entire
class view, at the same time, the
events under the surface of the
water with a special camera, "Ev-
en aspect of the trip was learn-
ing." said Suzanne.
The class discussed ecliptic
planes, different planets, types

of sand, orbits, and marine biol-
ogy. Said Dr. D?aton, "1 think a
field trip... is a capstone to the
course. It's a summary experi-
ence for everything we've done
in oceanography."
He paid lor use of the vessel
from money set aside in his bud-
get for the field trip and also a
donation from the Carter Foun-
dation. Students had to pay $20
for two nights of board at the
U.T. dorms, plus dining.

The Cranberries have made
a quick comeback with their lat-
est release. They didn't give us
a chance to forget them.
"No Need to Argue" is pretty
good. Not as good as the first,
but I'm partial to first releases
of anything.
In "No Need to Argue," lead
vocalist Dolores O'Riordan has
made some changes. Besides her
haircolor, her voice is much
more pronounced,. No more
sweet, mysterious songs com-
pared to "Everybody Flse is Do-
ing It, So Why Can't We?" Her
voice is definitely heard on this
release. Another change that i
noticed when I first listened,
were the noises she makes. She
makes several noises like a yo-
del or a squawk. She also pro-
longs words.
My favorite song would have
to be the very first song, "Ode
lo my Family." This song sounds
very much like their first album,
soft and subtle. "Zombie" the
#4 song is well known. It is
played many times on the radio.
When I mentioned strange
noises, keep this song in mind.
1 do love the guitar in this song.
Song #7, "The Icicle Melts"
has a message for the world. It
refers to the many babies taken
away from their mothers.
O'Riordan sings, "1 don't know
what's happening to people to-
day when a child, he was taken
away." It brings a small tear to
listen to the truth in this song.
"No Need to Argue" was not
love at first sound. 1 had to lis-
ten several times. Now, 1 love
it. After listening several times,
1 don't notice the strange noises
O'Riordan makes. Go get it, it is
well worth the money.

"I feel bad about it (the rob

that it happened, said Cornett.
"It's important to talk about it.'

The Texas Wesleyan men's
golf team won their second con-
secutive tournament'Oct. 31-
Nov. 1. The men won the Texas
Intercollegiate Golf Champion-
ship held at Holiday Hills Coun-
try Club in Mineral Wells with a
score of 863. There have been
seven Texas Intercollegiate Tour-
namen'ts and Wesleyan has won
Fence, from pg 1
"We want a secure campus
but not with the appearance of
a siege type campus. We don't
want to make it look like a
prison," said Ratcliff.
"We have a desire to help
protect the students," said Subie
Green, vice president of Univer-
sity advancement and a member
of the Facilities Planning Com-
mittee.
The KVG Gideon Toall Mas-
ter Plan Architects have been
hired to look at the Master Plan
and design a perimeter which
would secure the campus in a
pleasing environment.
There are many ideas for the
perimeter such as a chain link
fence or shrubs and other type
of foliage.
According to Ratllff, KVG will
purpose a plan to the President,
lake Schrum and Ratliff concern-
ing the perimeter. Then the pro-
posal will go before the Facilities
Manning Committee which con
ists of the Board of Trustees as
well as stall members.
KVG will update the board at
the Trustees' meeting Nov. 18,
according to Green.
The board is responsible for
raising the funds and has the
authority on how much to spend
and when. Different fund raising
ideas are being considered. One
is asking specific donors or hav-
ing a major fund raising cam-
paign for the university, raising
money for other improvements
on campus. The estimated
amount is 20 to 50 million dol-
lars, according to Ratcliff.
"The perimeter fence is a
major project for the Facilities
Planning Committee. I've asked
for some preliminary renderings
on what the perimeter fence
would look like and as soon as 1
get them, 1 will meet with a do-
nor," said Schrum.
In the meantime, the deci-
sion to build a temporary fence
on the east side of the campus
was reached Oct. 28, in response
to the recent vandalism on cam-
pus, according to Schrum- The
fence would be similar to the
ones around the dorms and on
five.
Wesleyan also won the indi- -
vidual medalist honors. Steve
Ga'lko, , a junior from
Duncanville, placed first out of
60 players. His scores were 71-
69 - 73 for a total of 213 on the
par 71 track.
"This is the third Wesleyan
player to take individual medal-
ist honors in a tournament.- It is
very unusual for three different
players on the same team to win
tournaments", Coach Hobby
Cornett said.
A freshman, Geoffry
Schacher from Tegucigalpa, I Ion-.
duraS took third place honors
with scores of 71-71-75 a total
of 217 for the tournament.
SchaCher finished second in the
Oklahoma Invitational.
Jamie Drysdale and Rob
Lang made the All-tournament
team with tournament scores of
74-74-73 and 80-70-7 1 respec-
tively.
Junior Ryan Farrow returned
scores of 73-76-73 under diffi-
cult windy.conditions; Richard
Noon from England, had scores
of 82 - 76 on the first two rounds
but was disqualified on the last
round for a misunderstanding
on his score card. He signed for
a four on a hole he made a five
on. His score keeper accidently
wrote down the wrong score and
Noon did not notice it until later.
This tournament played six
players with the best four scores
each day taken to determine the
team score.
. Coach Cornett commented
on the national rankings, "We
are anxiously awaiting the. fall
national rankings because we've
got to be ranked in the top three.
We finished third last year in the
national championship and we
are a stronger team this year."
The final tournament before
the semester break is Nov. 24-
27 in Houston hosted by Rice
University at the Columbia Lakes
Invitational.
Edwards on sabbatical 'til spring
By Rhonda Aghamalian
The Rambler
Dr. Joy Edwards, professor
of education, said she felt that a
vacation from Wesleyan was in
order after many years on cam-
pus. .
"I've been here 21 years and
thought it was time to rejuve-
nate. Sometimes it's good to
have a breather," she said.
Edwards is one of four fac-
ulty members currently taking a
sabbatical. She will return to
Wesleyan in January.
I:dwards has spent her sab-
batical working on various
projects. She took a mediation
course at the Law School and is
now qualified to become a certi-
fied mediator. (Mediators are
people with some legal back-
ground that help parties arrive
at settlements outside of a court-
room.) The class met for 20
hours on two consecutive week-
ends. ■ 1
"I thought the class would be
beneficial because mediation is
being used more and more
within the classroom," she said.-
Edwards is also currently en-
rolled in a legal studies course
on campus. Although she says
that she has no interest in pur-
suing a law degree or becoming
a lawyer, Edwards has found the
mediation program and the le-
gal studies class to be very in-
teresting.
*i love my law classes," she
said.. "I took them because as
citizens 1 feel that we need to
know more about the legal sys-
tem in our country."
Edward's main sabbatical ao
tivity is not her law class work,
however, but a project that she
is working on with Dr. Allen
Hehderson , dean of education.
They are trying to implement a
new master's program known
as "distance learning."
The program would be for
students wanting to obtain a
master's in education. She is
scheduled to present it for ap-
proval to the Academic Affairs
com m ittee i n Decem be r.
Despite her en joyment of her
sabbatical. Edwards said that she
Is ready to return to campus.
"I really miss my students,'
she said.
