College Presents Prominent Guests
During Festival Of Living Series
The college has presented several
prominent guests during its annual
Festival of Living series which began April 9.
Using the theme "North Carolina-
The Tar Heel State," the Festival
Committee has presented native

others who are prominent in the
arts.

the Department of Home Economics
at Howard University, was the

A&T Receives $8,300 Grant
From National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation
has awarded to the Agricultural
and Technical College the sum of
$8,300 for support of an "Undergraduate Research Participation
Program."
An objective of this program is to
determine through a large scale and
broadly based trial whether providing superior undergraduate students
with experience in research participation under the direction of College faculty members can make an
important contribution to science
education.
To be eligible for the program,
the student must be a junior or a
first quarter senior at the beginning
of the fall term 1959 in the field of
biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, or engineering. He must
have   an   accumulative   average  of
"B" or better in his major area of
concentration.
Ten (10) stipends of $500 each will
be available, plus additional funds
for the purchase of expandable laboratory supplies in this program. A
participant will be expected to carry a regular class load and devote
about 10 hours per week to his research activities.
Application forms may be secured from the director of the program,
Dr. George C. Royal, whose office
is located in Carver Hall, Room 173;
or they may be picked up in the
Office of the Department of Biology, Noble Hall. All applications
must be submitted no later than
June 1, 1959. Notification of appointments will be made on or
about August 1, 1959.

writer, she has had numerous articles and reports published in leading journals.

to Baroda University in India to
help with the organization of a
College of Home Economics and to
serve as Professor of Foods and
Nutrition. She returned to India in
1953 -and remained until 1955 on a
U. S. State Department assignment
to help with the completion of the
organization of the College of
Home Economics at Baroda.

Robert McFerrin, a baritone who
has appeared with the Metropolitan
Opera Company, was presented in

Dr. Anderson Speaks
On Radiation Hazards
Dr. Elda E. Anderson, chief of the
Education and Training Section,
Health Physics Division, Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, explained the
precautions necessary to reduce
radiation hazards in an address in
the Bluford Library Auditorium
April 8.
Dr. Anderson has been in charge
of education and training in the
Health Physics Division at the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory since
1949, and in that capacity she has
been responsible for the training of
approximately 200 AEC Fellows in
Radiological Physics. She has supervised the Health Physics training
of AFSW officers and of medical
officers of the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Public Health. She conducted the first International
course in Health Physics, sponsored
by the World Health Organization,
the Swedish Government, and by
the Atomic Energy Commission. A
second International course was
held in Belgium and recently a
third one in Bombay, India.
The lecture was made possible
by the Oak Ridge Traveling Lecture Program and was sponsored foy
the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Dr. Donald A.
Edwards, Chairman of the Physics
Department, presided.
Dr. Anderson explained - h e
methods employed to protect workers in atomic plants from radation
hazards and pointed out tla increase in the efficiency of these
methods from 1950 to the 'resent
time. While external radiatifl could
be relatively easily contriled by
proper shielding internal adiation
(the accidental aocumu'tion of
radiation in the body) ould not,
because of the continuau exposure
of body organs to the relation and
the slow rate at which j eventually
leaves the body. Progjss is being
"made in this area, sai< Dr. Anderson.
