BALE COUNT
‘ COLLEGE STATION • Texas
A&M University scientists are
joining the search for life deep be-
neath Antarctica's ice - a quest that
may help answer the question of
whether life exists on other planets.
Mahlon "Chuck" Kenrucutt, direc-
tor of Texas A&M's Geochemical and
Environmental Research Group
(GERG), said GERG scientists will
help develop a means for drilling
* through more than two miles of iCe
above Lake Vostok to collect wa-
ter and lake-bottom sediments for
analysis.
Exploration of Lake Vostok,
which lies below a Russian Antarc-
tic research station, is recom-
mended in a report released this
week by the National Science
Foundation (NSF).
"Interest in the study of life in
extreme environments has been
increasing in recent years, and
some of that has to do with the
parallels for the possible existence
of life elsewhere than on Earth,"
Kenmcutt said. "And with Lake
Vostok, we're talking about one of
the most extreme environments on
this planet."
Kenmcutt noted that previous
core samples taken from the ice
above Lake Vostok contained mi-
croorganisms more than a mile
below the surface, and living mi-
crobes have been found in glacial
. ice, permafrost and frozen lakes
elsewhere on this planet, he noted.
• Texas A&M prof says
people don’t exercise
COLLEGE STATION - Atten-
tion couch potatoes: your numbers
are up, your chances of being
healthy are way down, and the odds
of you doing something about it
appear to be zero.-
Recent government eports
show about 35 percent of Amen-
cans are overweight and more are
becoming obese (defined as having
at least 25 percent body fat for men
and 35 percent for women.) These
are figures that should alarm most
people, says a Texas A&M Univer-
sity professor who specializes in
fitness and weight control, but few
have the will power to exercise and
burn off those unwanted pounds.
Jack Wilmore, head of Texas
A&M's Department of Health and
Kinesiology, says the prescription
for such poundage is easy: "Energy
in, energy out. It sounds so simple,
but few Americans seem willing to
exercise."
Wilmoie has published numer-
ous articles on the subject and re-
cently authored the Physiology of
Sport and Exercise, a 700-page work
now being used as a textbook on
many college campuses.
