Students recall
Diana vigil
Curiosity was the emotion shared by most
UNCW students remaining in on-campus
housing during Hurricane Diana. Many anx
iously watched the weather from windows,
while others listened to radio or television
weather broadcasts.
"Fear was not a big problem for residents
on my hall. None are old enough to recall Hur
ricane Hazel’s destruction. This was a new ex
perience for most,” said Fran Dixon, a resi
dent assistant in Galloway Hall.
With adequate food and safe shelter being
top priorities to most hurricane victims,
students benefitted from campus dormitory
provisions.
Despite some water leakage in two dorms,
students overall felt they had safe shelter. As
a safety convenience, meals were delivered
daily to dorm residents by cafeteria person
nel.
"It was nice not having to walk across cam
pus to the cafeteria. We felt important hav
ing our meals brought to us,” said Deborah
Hammonds, a student from Wilson, N.C.
Jeff Niles, a student from Bambridge, N.Y.,
said most students on his hall had stocked up
on "junk food” and beverages.
"We all sat watching T.V. and eating,” said
Niles.
Trivial Pursuit and card games were popu
lar ways to pass the time, as were "hur
ricane” parties held in some rooms.
"UNCW handled the hurricane well. They
were prepared for it,” said Kim Lovingood,
a student from Quantico, Va.
For some, the hurricane was a benefitting
experience.
"The hurricane brought many students
closer together as friends. We had the spare
time to talk and get to know one another,”
said Kevin Fisher, a student from Gastonia,
N.C.

Hulbert named science director
for UNCW undersea program
In a move that signals a significant pro
gram expansion, Dr. Alan Hulbert has been
named director of science for the NOAA Na
tional Undersea Research Program at The
University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
In conjunction with this appointment, he
holds an associate professorship in the depart
ment of biological sciences.
Hulbert comes to UNCW from the faculty
of the University of New Hampshire where
he was a research scientist working under
Dr. Alan Hulbert
full-time contract for the National Marine
Fisheries Service at Woods Hole, Mass.
At Woods Hole, he assisted in developing
and implementing a large New England fish
eries monitoring program. He also designed
and coordinated a research program for the
New England Fisheries Management Coun
cil dealing with ghost gill nets. In May of this
year, UNCW’s Research Vessel Seahawk
traveled to the Gulf of Maine to participate
in the ghost gill net project.
^6 NOAA Undersea Research Program at
UNCW became operational in summer 1982
with the commissioning of Research Vessel
aeahawk. It is one of five NOAA national
uimersea research programs in the U.S.
As designed, the program was regional,
primarily concerned with the Southeastern
United States. Recently NOAA presented a
garter to the UNCW program to be the East
platform, able to conduct
NUAA research all along the East Coast, the
the Caribbean.
With this expansion, we have been auth-
orized to begin investigation for a new
research ship, between 180-200 feet, to accom
modate submersibles, remote underwater
research vehicles, and a variety of other dive
systems ” Hulbert said. "We plan to keep
aeahawk to do regional things and use the
arger vessel for further travels and more
complex maneuvers.”
As director of science, Hulbert will ad
minister and manage directed research proj
ects using facilities of the NOAA Undersea
Research Program at UNCW. He will solicit
proposals from the academic community to
conduct research that NOAA feels is
important.
of Providence, R.I., Hulbert holds
the bachelor of science degree from the Uni
versity of Lowell and the doctor of philosophy
trom the University of New Hampshire. He
Has done postgraduate work at Harvard Uni-
versity and the Hopkins Marine Station of
btarford University. His office is at the
Undersea Research Program office at the
State Ports Authority.
