MELBY Federal Official Joins in Dedication Of Snee Hall for Geological Sciences By ROGER SEGELKEN Heralding a new age of competitiveness among nations in capturing scientific ad- vances for technological advantage, a fed- eral government official speaking here Monday called for a new academia- industry-government partnership. John P. McTague, deputy director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, joined visiting geophysicists, University administrators and members of the Wil- liam Snee family to dedicate the new Snee Hall for Geological Sciences. An adviser to the president of the United States, McTague participated in a day-long symposium, which also featured Queens College President E. Ronald Oxburgh speaking on "Energetics of the Earth" and Institut de Physique du Globe director Claude J. Allegre of the University of Paris on "The Invasion of Chemistry." t Construction of the $10.9 million, four- level structure, the first permanent facility for geological sciences in the 116-year history of that department, was funded largely by the estate of the late William E.
