Amateur Photographers Have Whale of A Time With Whale
Li Jolla, Calif - IUPD - Four
San Diego amateur photog
raphers had a whale of a time
last week with a whale.
The four frolicked in the
ocean for- three hours with
their new found friend, photo
graphing it close up, riding
on its back and even shower
ing under its spout.
It was a one-ln-a-million
experience that every photog
rapher dreams about," accord
ing to Charles Nicklin Jr., 35,
operator, of a local diving
shop. .
He said the 45-foot finback
whale was crippled and ex
hausted because it had been
entangled in .a nylon line
which they were able to re
lease.
Nicklin said he,' Alvin Sant-
myer, 35, a diving shop oper
ator; William DeCourt, 24, a
design draftman, and Frank
Morepohn, 32, an architect
ural illustrator, first sighted a
whale spout about l'i miles
offshore.
"We thought at first it was
sleeping because it lay so still
on the surface," Nicklin said.
"When we got up close we
were so excited we kept drop
ping film all over the boat.
"As it made no indication
of taking off, we suited up and

"He was really big," De

awhile," Nicklin continued,
"We took turns riding on its
back, clowning around and
posing."

whale and what he might do
to us. We were somewhat
afraid to take the line off his
sail, because we thought he
might do something violent.
Finally I dove down and re
moved the line that had crip

"He waited a bit, gave a
spout, waved his tail and off
he swam."
"We felt a kinship for him,"
DeCourt said. "He didn't say
thank you, but we know he

him."

Philip F.-My brother turns
Into a "Latin lover" around
my wife. .
Hannah F. - It's about time
I had a real gentleman in the
house,
Philip F. - Through a relief
agency I was Informed that
my only brother was living In
France after having escaped
from a Nazi concentration
camp. I was overjoyed at the
news. I hadn't heard from him
since he was 15 years old.
That was 20 years ago and I
had given him up for dead.
After a thorough Investigation
I was convinced that Sam,
now 35, was really my broth'
er and I brought him to this
country. Not only did I pay
for his passage, but I wcl'
corned him into my home, and
provided a Job for him In my
textile firm at a good salary
more than he's worth there.
Now I have a new problem
Sam abuses my hospitality by
flagrantly flirting with my
wife. I catch him kissing her
and he's not even embarrass
ed.
Hannah F. - My husband Is
Just too strait-laced. Sam can
show him the gentler arts of
making a woman happy. It's a
pleasure having such a con
siderate and respectful man
around, Phil certainly needn't
worry about the emotional
aide of this. Sam's a kid and
no fool, and neither am I. He
looks at me more like a moth
er, or an aunt. Right now he's
apartment-hunting, then he'll
find himself a wife and set
tle down.
Meanwhile he's practicing
his charms on me and I find
them refreshing. My husband
should have no complaint.
Thanks to Sam's compliments
and politeness, I feel more
feminine and domantic than
ever. Instead of making a fool
of himself over this, Phil
should ask Sam for a few les
sons. I'm getting used to hav
ing my chair held and my
hand kissed.
The. Council: - Phillip's
younger brother didn't live in
vacuum for 20 years. He
lived in France. So his form
of brotherly love has a "nu
ance" of this and a "soupcon"
of that to make It "Continen
tal." It may well be perfect
ly innocent, as directed to
ward his sister-in-law. Philip
would be wise to regard It as
the "French dressing" that
perks up the family dinner.
A Frenchman has a head-
start as a "gallnnt" and, as
the saying goes, 50,000,000 of
them can't be wrong. Maybe
It's wine and the altitude, but
he kisses as automatically as
American men say Hello. Per
haps If Sam had come to
America by way of Alaska,
spending 20 years there, he'd
arrive with a different ap
proach to women. Then It
might be HHiinah who'd do
the complaining.
We must warn Philip
against unwarranted Jealousy
He seems to be Imputing to his
brother the looseness allied
with a "stereotype" ot the Lat
in lover. But a stereotype isn't
real. It's a straw-man set up
by novelists, propagandists,
dramatists, and exhibitionists,
The flesh-and-blood Sam must
be viewed as a loving, niton
tive, grateful brother, despite
his outward mannerisms
which baffle Philip and re-
galo Hannah.
There's no evidence of any
thing awry In the love rela
tionship between husband and
wife. As for the kissing, we'll
wager Sam kisses Philip loo,
It's a Gallic means of con
versing. Certainly Hannah
Isn't going to push her young
brother-in-law away and hurt
his feelings, The "limits" be
tween them seem to be clear
ly understood.
Once Sam moves out, and
on general principles it
should be soon, Philip can
turn his stay to sentimental
profit by beginning to open
the cur door for Hannah and
even pinch her cheek on oc
casion. I
Two Buildings
Expected To Be
Started at OSU
Corvallis-Two new build-
Ings-a Radiation center and
an Oceanography building -are
expected to be started this
month at Oregon State univer
sity, setting the stage for sig
nificant future advances in
the two new teaching and re
search fields.
Bids for the structures were
opened this week. Both are
expected to be finished in
about a year, President James
H. Jensen said, both will be
built in large part with federal
grunts. ;
The Radiation center will
be $755,280 building, 'especi.
ally designed for a wide range
of radiation studies Involving
large number of scientists
from several departments. Dr.
H. Wang is director of the
Radiation center.' which will
be built on the west edge of
the campus. .. ;. ,.
Another Milestone ,
The $660,500 Oceanography
building represents a n o ther
milestone in the rapid growth
of OSU ocean studies. Almost
no research had been done on
the ocean off Oregon before
OSU launched its work' in
1054. Now, the Oregon State
department of oceanography
is becoming one of America's
leaders, Jensen said. . Dr.
Wayne V. Burt Is head of the
Oceanography department
Advanced teaching pro
grams will draw major atten
tion In both buildings, Jensen
added. Trained graduates in
radiation sciences and ocean
ography are badly needed
throughout the country, he
said.
Funds for construction of
the Radiation center came
from the National Science
Foundation, $2 0 0, 0 0 0; Na
tional Institutes of Health,
$177,640; and the other $377,
64D from the state emergen
cy board.
The Oceanography building
will be financed with a $500,
000 National Science Founda
tion grant and $166,500 in bal
anccs available from gifts and
grants to the institution.
