Dravo Corporation's Engineering Works Div. Appoints Mortimer Smokey the Bear he ain't. But he has been known to stomp some butts. Billy Foran is a good old boy. But he's in the habit of getting the job done and done on time. He's been doing it for the last quarter of a century as our General Superintendent. He's helped make us the place in this part of the world for every kind of work from voyage repairs to major conversions. We're not the biggest on this seaboard, but we manage to make a lot of Yankees come down here for their work. The fact that we can work 365 days a year without having to thaw out doesn't hurt either. Good work. Good town. Good climate. And Billy. Good reasons to let us show you what we can do. Savannah Machine ^^BBM••• ..ft, %•• »%» tmn —|#*i%M P.O. Box 787, Savannah, Ga. 31402 Tele.

Ocean Structures Study To Be Given Sept. 17-22 At U of C—Berkeley A concentrated six-day course, "Structures in the Ocean," dealing with the analysis, design, behavior and implementation of fixed and floating structures of steel and con- crete in hostile seas, will be given September 17-22, 1973, by Continu- ing Education in Engineering and the College of Engineering at-the University of 'California, Berkeley. It is intended for professional engineers, offshore constructors, oceanographers, designers, engi- neering managers, and others. Top- ics will include the nature of hos- tile environments, the forces gen- erated in them, and the gross re- sponse of structures exposed to them; optimal configurations for fixed and floating structures, in- cluding underwater storage vessels and cais'son-type platform's; con- struction procedures and tech- niques, launching, 'mobility, be- havior during transportation^ in- stallation, founding and sea-bottom conditions, stability, and safety. The course steering committee consists of four Berkeley faculty members : Jack G. Bouwkamp, Ben C. Gerwick Jr. and Robert L. Wie- gel, all 'professors of civil engineer- ing, and J. Randolph Paulling Jr., professor of naval architecture.
