Biology Research Cruise
Te Vega To Sail

Stanford's 135-foot schooner To Vega, a research ship, is leaving April 4 for a ten-week cruise to the Galapagos Islands. Aboard will be three faculty members, two teaching assistants, and ten students studying biological oceanography. Prof. Donald P. Abbott of Hopkin's Marine Station, which operates the Te Vega under National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsorship, will serve as chief scientist for the expedition, which is the 18th. Each expedition is equivalent to a regular academic course, and lasts for one quarter. Students are chosen for the course (Biology 222h) from participating institutions in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Their expenses are included in the NSF sponsorship of the program. During the expedition the biologists will make extensive investigations of marine life among the shallows of the coastline, looking particularly for clues to explain the distribution of various kinds of organisms. Stanford participants in expedition 18 are: Senior Scientists: Dr. D. P. Abbott (Chief Scientist), Hopkins Marine Station; Dr. Richard Bovbjerg, dept. of zoology, U. of Iowa; Dr. W. George Evans, entomology dept., U. of Alberta; Teaching Assistant: March Youngbluth, dept. of biological sciences, Stanford; Marine Technician: William Samuel, Hopkins Marine Station; Junior Scientists: Eldon E. Ball Jr., dept. of biological sciences, UC-Santa Barbara; Lawrence Eickstaedt, Hopkins Marine Station: Dane Hardin, natural sciences, UC-Santa Cruz; Charles E. Lehner, dept. of biological sciences, U. of Arizona; Ray Markel, Hopkins Marine Station; Hector Romero; David Rosenberg, dept. of entomology, U. of Alberta; Patricia Ann Smith, dept. of zoology, U. of Iowa; Judy Terry, dept. of geology, Stanford; Joseph R. Waalund, dept. of botany, UC-Berkeley.
