Bull California sea lions spend fall, winter and spring in the waters off British Columbia. Male stellers migrate to Alaskan waters.

Most of the year the sea lions seen on rookeries off the! California and Oregon coasts are females, The males are all gone. Bull sea lions average 10 to 20 cows to a harem. Some will have as many as 40 females. And with male and female births averaging out about even, this means, Mate had deduced, at least nine of every 10 males go through life without mating. So mate would like to find out what it is that determines whether a bull will have a harem and where the bachelors end up.

Mate has been receiving a $3,200 annual national science foundation pre-doctorate fellowship the last three years to support his studies. He is home-based at the University of Oregon Marine Science Station at Charleston, Ore. MOLINE The Moline City council unanimously voted last night to appeal the ruling handed down by the third District Appellate Court in Ottawa yesterday, requiring the city to reinstate Steve Rogenski as captain on the Moline police force. April 10, 1969. The vote to appeal came less than eight hours after City Atty.

Curtis Trevor received by mail a notice of the appellate court ruling. I was surprised that we lost the case but we must now go1 out and try to either get a re-1 hearsing or go right to the Illinois Supreme Court with more evidence, Trevor said. The appellate court upheld the findings of a Rock Island County Circuit Judge George O. Hebei that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners improperly dismissed Rogenski from the force more than three years ago on charges filed following effective than approaching in a wetsuit, Mate said. He sits in the midst of raucous rookeries recording the lifestyle of his favorite animals.

They live a nice life, the sea lion expert noted. All they do is eat, sleep, swim around and mate. Sea lions are extremely gregarious. They think nothing of sleeping, three and four deep on top of one another on crowded rookeries. Some males weigh more than a ton and are as much as 14 feet long.

Mate is the first person to scientifically document the migration of sea lions along the Pacific boast. He maintains index cards on 900 individual animals and keeps track of them as they move up and down the coast. He identifies lions by unusual features and by his own markings. I crawl out amongst them and hit them with a shot of Lady ClairoL I squirt them on their hips, belly, shoulders and back. He marks them with letters of the alphabet, with number combinations, zig-zags, diagonals, crosses and numerous other designs.

Mate is studying two species of sea lions steller, with an estimated population of 300,000 and California sea lions with a population numbering about 50,000. Mqles of both species migrate north after spending 2 months mating in the rookeries FLORENCE, Ore. Bruce Mate may spend the rest of his life with sea lions. The young marine mamalo-gist has traveled 150,000 miles back and forth along the Pacific Coast for five years studying the beasts. Several days each month he leans out the window of a Cessna 150 he pilots peering through high-powered glasses at the Pinnipeds perched on offshore rock rookeries.

Other times he drives along the seashore stopping whenever he sees a colony of the animals to see how many sea lions he knows in the group and what the animals are up to. Often he spends as much as a week alone with the sea lions, crawling along on his Etomach inspecting one animal, then another. You cant stand up. Any erect figure scares them, explained the 26 year-old university of Oregon, graduate student who is one of the worlds foremost authorities on the The bearded scientist usually wears a black wetsuit when he mingles with the marine mammals to be less conspicuous.

Our chances of geeting a rehearing before the appellate court are slim and almost next until all of the court petitions and proceedings are over. Rogenski was unavailable for to $10,000 and he probably would be drawing around $13,000 today. Rogenskis salary as comment yesterday but it, is! a security officer is not known.
