current in the latest scientific
developments, will appoint 30 par
ticipants for the June 1- Aug. 21,
1970, program.
Weekes, who will be directing
his third institute, said courses
participants will take are selected
junior and senior level under
graduate courses in physics. The
physics institute has been con
ducted at A&M eight years.
Applications for participation
will be accepted by the institute
director through Feb. 15, an

grams coordinator at A&M. Ap
pointments will be announced by
March 15.
The institute is one of 65 sup

teachers will participate, each
receiving a stipend of not more
than $100 a week plus suplemen-
tary allowances for travel and
dependents.

Coordinating Board
OK’s History PhD
The Coordinating Board, Texas
College and University System,
has authorized A&M to offer a
Ph.D. in history and awarded
the institution federal grants
totaling $97,000.
A&M also was recommended
for four other federal grants,
including $1 million for facilities
for the Texas Maritime Academy
at Galveston, but Coordinating
Board officials emphasized funds
for these projects are not cur
rently available.
The Coordinating Board stipu
lated A&M’s Ph.D. in history con
centrate on American history.
Federal grants, awarded under
the Community Service and Con
tinuing Education Program of the
Higher Education Act of 1965,
included $35,000 for model cities
agencies; $28,000 for program
in transportation and $17,000
each for programs involving coun
ty government officials and re-
ciprocative education.
Action involving the $1 million
grant for TMA was primarily to
establish a priority list in the
event federal funds become avail
able, a Coordinating Board of
ficial explained. The funds have
not been appropriated by Con
gress.
Other grants approved but not
funded were $26,827 for regional
recreational resources develop

Former Students Director Rich

A four-year development pro
gram aided by a $560,000 Nation-
il Science Foundation grant is
jeing initiated by the Chemistry
Jepartment.
The program will emphasize
new faculty, research equipment
ind expansion of graduate stu-
ent and post-doctoral enroll-
lents, announced Dr. A. E.
lartell, department head.
“The grant in itself is recog-
ition for the capability and
otential that exists in the de-
artment, in that it was the only
rant of this type made this year
jo any chemistry department in
the United States,” Martell said.
Though the departmental de-
elopment program emphasizes
graduate study, the undergradu
ate curriculum has been exten
sively revamped and modernized,
he added.
The freshman chemistry lab is
being improved by adoption of
station and tutorial systems, with
increasing use of visual and audio
aids. More advanced labs are be-
ng revised into integrated labor
atories, in which experiments
overlapping several subdisciplines
are emphasized.
Upgrading of the graduate
are on order. Research centers in
molecular biochemistry, polymer
and nuclear chemistry have been
organized, in addition to the
existing Thermodynamics Re
search Center.
Additional centers in catalysis,
solid state chemistry, molecular
beams and theoretical chemistry
are projected. Each center will
attain four to six staff members
specializing in their areas.
Martell said the centers will
have as their mission the develop
ment of basic knowledge in areas
of chemical research relevant to
the needs of industry and public
health.
“They will also aid in accom
modating the projected increase
in graduate students and post
doctoral associates,” he indicated.
Anticipated by 1972 are about
200 graduate students and 40
post-doctorals. There are current
ly 124 and 13, respectively. In
1966, the department had 67 grad
uate students and four post-
doctorals.
