Research By DEB STIRLING The Baruch Institute. A very stuffy-sounding name for ecological research. Research, mind you, that notenly involves a microscope or two, but a practical lesson in learning the ways of the ocean, understanding the tides and creatures that call the water home. It's learning to keep a small boat afloat in high wind, or straining to pull in a net full of mollusks and occasionally a sunburn. All this just to gather research for one of the many Baruch rese.arch projects.

They said they thought there was too little activity in ecological marine research. "It was a challenge to come here. There has been little research activity in this particular area. That, coupled with a yet unspoiled estuarine system to be studied at the coastal facility, and the opportunity to develop an educational program in conjunction with estuarine and marshland programs," the institute's director said. USC almost did not have the Institute. Over three years ago Clemson was originally slated to receive the facility and had even received a grant for that purpose.

Through some bungling by Clemson and some good timing on the part of USC officials the Institute was set up in Columbia. The famed Hobcaw Barony, a 17,500 acre plantation outside Georgetown where the In stitute's field station lies, represents one of the few unpolluted estuaries remaining on the East coast. Financier, millionaire Bernard Baruch bought the land in his home state in the 1900's and turned it over to his eldest daughter Belle. It was Belle who recognized the suitability of Hobcaw for conservation education and formed the Belle W. Baruch Foundation to facilitate that end. With 30 faculty members involved in research, the Baruch Institute is attemptinq to fully analyze the estuarine system. A definite attempt is being made to find the common ground necessary to translate the findings into terms--such as food energy levels and dollar values -- that the public and its lawmakers can understand. The economic system and the ecosystem, for instance, are not dissimilar conceptually; according to Dr. Vernberg. The Institute is combining economists with biologists, lawyers with geologists, engineers with political scientists, chemists and physicists. The staff is involved in studying some of the environmental problems in the state, such as pollution in Charleston Harbor. s filled; at Bell Camp C.
