SUBJECT:
Summary of Academic Year 1983-84 at the Mark O. Hatfield Marine
Science Center, Oregon State University
NAME CHANGE
In October of 1983, the Marine Science Center had a name change from
Oregon State University Marine Science kience Center to the Mark O.
Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University (HMSC). This
decision for a name change came from the State Board of Higher Education.
A dedication for the Center's name change occurred on October 30th with
The Honorable Mark O. Hatfield as keynote speaker, President Robert
Oregon State University, Dr. John V. Byrne repreMacVicar
senting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Dr. Lavern
J. Weber, the Hatfield Marine Science Center.
BUILDINGS/PHYSICAL PLANT
During this past year, the OSU Foundation has placed the marine sciences
as a top priority for funding with a high priority within this for the
building of our dormitories, which will cost approximately a quarter
This past summer our dormitories were again filled with
million dollars.
students, and we have had heavy visiting faculty usage of the dormitory
facilities all year.
A breezeway between the main HMSC building and the Newport Aquaculture
Laboratory is being built to give rain and wind protection for foot
traffic between the federal and state buildings.
A major clean up involving painting and general repair to the dormitories
was completed in December and this summer a walk way for student traffic
will be placed in front of the dormitories.
EDUCATION PROGRAM
During Winter term of 1984, enrollment was about the same as in the
previous two years, although we have had a heavier participation from
resident graduate students, and we have had some commuting students for
some courses. The general response continues to be good from the
students. Spring term, 1984, has somewhat lower enrollment than previous
years, and upon investigation it appears that this is a low enrollment

class for Marine Biology majors at OSU and is not representative of a
declining student population.
The Summer program of 1983 was a success with both the fisheries and
aquaculture classes being well attended. The Marine Biology course,
although it had one more student than previous years, was still judged to
be a marginal course, in regard to the number of enrollees.
For this
reason, we had several meetings during Fall term and agreed to revamp
that course in attempts to make it less expensive. The Marine Biology
class was to be offered this Summer term, 1984 as a 12 credit program for
8 weeks, rather than 15 creaits for 10 weeks.
In addition, this past
year we had several instructors working together in all day sessions
teaching the course. This coming year there was to be no overlap of
instructors and the budget for the operation of the course being cut
considerably without, we hoped, significantly changing the quality of
this now 12-credit hour course.
On the 4th of June, we had only five
students and the course was cancelled for 1984.
In summer, 1983 the fisheries and aquaculture offerings were highly
successful with some 13 countries being represented in the student
population.
Dr. Jerry Rudy and myself, as reported last year, put
together a program which which should synchronize coursework between the
Oregon Institute of Marine Biology and the HMSC. Although we both had
some inquiries, they were, at best, few and no students participated in
the sequence.
In conversations, we both agree that considerable amounts
of recruitment will have to be done to bring about an awareness of this
possibility of cooperative programs.
Summaries of student enrollment numbers are in the "Statistics" section.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS
The research programs continue to grow in strength and development along
lines of individual faculty strengths.
There is one general concern
arising here at the Center which had it origins around fin fish and shell
fish management and culture techniques. Although we have an educational
program aimed at fisheries and aquaculture, which has been highly
successful, the actual faculty and support for this type of research has
steadily declined.
Professor Wilbur Breese, who has retired, and who has
been instrumental in maintaining an active shellfish program here at the
Center, has not been replaced.

program, through Fisheries and Wildlife, has largely disappeared due to
administrative demands placed on the single fish culture faculty position
here.
The Fish Disease and Pathology Program and the 2 time effort of
Dr. Pikitch in population dynamics, are the remaining aspects of the fish
culture program.
Dr. Pearcy's program in assessment of oceanic movement of salmonids
continues to be a strong program and we are optimistic in regard to the
Cooperative Institute for Marine Resource Studies under Dr. Pearcy's
direction.
Through the efforts of Senator Mark 0. Hatfield in cooperation with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a deep-sea bed survey
program is to be developed at the HMSC.
To begin the program, Dr. Steve
Hammond and Dr. Robert Embley, geophysicists with the NOAA, will be
moving to the HMSC during the summer of 1984.
The first effort is
supposed to involve four resident investigators.

AQUARIUM/MUSEUM
Other than maintaining the quality of the aquarium and museum displays
and the education programs, the aquarium/museum has not had major changes
during this past academic year.

FUTURE PLANS
Major efforts will be made this coming year to help make possible the
construction of our dormitory space.
In addition, because of general
declines in enrollment, effort will be made to intensify our advertising
and recruitment efforts.
