Researchers Participate In Expedition
Dr. John Garth, curator of the Allan Hancock Foundation, and Fred Ziesenhenne, captain of the foundation’s research vessel, the Velero IV, are members of a research expedition that will cruise the Indian Ocean for three months this spring as a part of the U.S. Program of Bi ology.
The cruise, one of a num ber to be made during the two-year Program of Biology, will be aboard the Te Vega, owned by Stanford University, and one of two Ameri can ships involved in the re search effort.
Dr. Garth and Capt. Zei-senhenne left Los Angeles Jan. 14 for Colombo, Ceylon where they were scheduled to board the Te Vega at that time. The cruise was delayed two weeks and will begin next week, running until April. It will take the party of scientists and students to Cochin, India, Male in the Maldive Islands, to the Chagos Islands and finally to Port Louis, Mauritius.
Coral Atolls The USC scientists will be concentrating on the coral atolls in the island groups. Dr. Garth will investigate the crustaceans which live in the coral, while Capt. Ziesenhenne will study the echinoderms, which includes sea stars and sea urchins.
Specimens collected by scientists on this expedition will be sent to a central sorting center operated by the Smithsonian Institute. After processing, the specimens will be distributed to specialists in various fields.
Study Specimens The Allan Hancock Foundation will receive not only the specimens gathered by its own researchers, but specimen material obtained in other expeditions during the Indian Ocean investigations, according to Dr. Leslie A. Chambers, director of the foundation.
The Indian Ocean was selected for the biology program because, in the field of marine Biology, less is known about this area than any other ocean in the world, Dr. Garth said.

The grueling nature of the race was exhibited Friday when one woman fell off her tricycle while pedaling down Childs Way, and another lost control of her machine and plunged into the throng of spectators along the race course.

Hats askew, coats flying and pants dropping, the women all managed to complete the course in just over five minutes.
Examples of teamwork were shown when women stuffed their sorority sisters’ feet into oversize sneakers on the outward run and pulled them out of the clothes to speed the disrobing process.
The motley outfits were provided by the participating sororities, each of whom filled a suitcase and traded it with another group.
