A&M, the University of Texas,
Texas Tech and, jointly, North

Austin March 3-4 and the fourth
at Denton and Dallas April 7-8.

in the general areas of these re
search centers will be accommo

Laboratories will be visited, re
search projects reviewed, techni
ques discussed, and the . nature,
significance, requirements and re

Panel discussions, seminars and
personal conferences will give par
ticipants a chance to learn moi'e
about types of graduate training
required for scientific research and
about scholarships and assistant-
ships available to them in univer
sities throughout the country.
Carter To Collect
Data for Doctorate
In Central America
Dilford C. Carter, graduate stu
dent in the Department of Wildlife
Management here has left for
Mexico and other Central Ameri
can countries where he will spend
six months collecting field data
for his doctoral dissertation.
His problem, being done under
the direction of Dr. W. B. Davis,
head of the department, involves
the systematic and ecologic rela
tionships of free-tailed bats of the
Tadarida brasiliensis complex
which are thought to be involved
in the spread and transmission of
rabies.
Carter’s headquarters will be in
Mexico City and from there he
will carry on extensive collections
and behavorial studies of bats in
various parts of Mexico, Guate
mala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama.
The bats being studied spend the
summer in Texas and neighboring
states and migrate southward in
winter, but their wintering grounds
and their wintering habits are not
well known.
The research on bats is being
supported in part by the Rob and
Bessie Welded Wildlife Founda
tion of Sinton, Tex., the Pennsyl
vania State University and by
private funds.
Mrs. Carter and her two chil
dren will accompany Carter as far
as Mexico City where she will
spend the winter. The family plans
to return to College Station next
April.
“This program is the first of
its kind to be sponsored by the
National Science Foundation thru
a state academy and is therefore
an experiment that may determine
to what extent such programs will
be supported in other states in
future years,” Charles LaMotte,
progam director, said today. La
Motte is professor of biology here.
“Only the most outstanding un
dergraduate students selected by
the faculties of their respective
colleges and accompanied by one
or more of their professors will
be eligible to participate, but they
will be expected to carry some of
their first-hand observations, a
lot of information and some en
gendered enthusiasm back to their
fellow students.”
Heading up arrangements at
host institutions are: Dr. L. C.
Grumbles, professor of veterinary
microbiology at A&M College; Dr.
Addison Lee, professor of botany
and director of science education
at the University of Texas; Dr.
Joe A.damcik, assistant professor
of chemistry at Texas Tech; Dr.
J. K. G. Silvey, professor of biol
ogy and chairman of the Science
Division at North Texas State
College.
