Edwin Ullrich, assist ant professor in Sociology is the new advisor. A new laboratory facility for research in basic learning is be ing established in the College of Education. The Human Learning Research Laboratory, headed by Dr. Gies sen J. Martin, will be operated through the Educational Psychol ogy Department of the college, Dean Frank Hubert announced. Designed along the lines of a classroom, the lab will be located in Hart Hall. Renovation work for the facility has begun. Among its appointments will be two testing cubicles for observ ing individuals under highly con trolled situations. Martin, professor in the Edu cational Psychology and Psy chology Departments, said the purpose of the lab is to conduct basic research into the ways peo ple learn and how the learning modes can be enhanced. He was associated with a simi lar facility at Michigan State at which he conducted research on cognition and learning through the U. S. Office of Education funding. The experimental psychologist who joined the faculty as full professor last summer has sev eral projects outlined for investi gation in the lab. Graduate as sistants will be employed, enabl ing the training of graduate stu dents interested in the psychol ogy of learning. He stressed that students from other departments will hopefully be involved in the lab’s work. An immediate project deals with basic studies in the “tele graphic concept” of reading, a process of condensing written material up to 80 per cent with out loss of input or information. “The idea,” explained the cum laude graduate, “is, through re search, developing some tech nique based on rewrite or reduc tion rules for elimination of ex cess verbiage.” Martin said many w<yds and phrases recur in predictable se quences. Removal or condensing of such elements and deletion of some unnecessary prepositions, conjunctions and articles will not, he believes, affect comprehen sion. Applied to existing textbook Dr. Lee Martin, English head, dies Dr. Lee J. Martin, A&M Eng lish faculty member for 24 years and departmental head since 1966, died Sunday in a Houston hospital after an extended illness. The English professor had been hospitalized several months. Memorial evening prayer serv ices will be read at 7:30 p.m. to day in St. Thomas Episcopal Chapel, College Station. Private burial will be in the College Sta tion Cemetery, under the direc tion of Memorial Funeral Chapel, Bryan.

The family requests remem- berances be made to the A&M English Department Library Fund. Dr. Martin was born July 15, 1916, at Pilot Point, Texas. He joined the faculty as an in structor in 1946. Dr. Martin served as associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and was Educational Television Center di rector, in addition to heading the English Department four years. He earned bachelor and mas ter’s degrees at the University of Texas in 1941 and 1948, acquir ing the doctorate in 1956 after studying dramatic literature and English at Stanford University. He was member of numerous professional and scholarly socie ties, including the National Con ference of Teachers of English, Texas Joint English Committee of Schools and Colleges, the American Society for Theatre Research, American Educational Theatre Association and Ameri can Association of University Professors. Martin wrote numerous articles in theatrical language and educa tional publications and the Fresh man English Bulletin used in A&M courses. A freshman Eng lish text, “The 500-Word Theme,” was also written by Martin. material in this age of informa tion explosion, the teleghraphic concept could have tremendous implications for education, both in informal and formal settings. In two-year USOE investiga tion, Martin found through ap plication of the telegraphic con cept with blind children who use Braille that there was no reduc tion in reading comprehension. Development of a program ap plying mathematical models for the computer reduction of ma terials will receive priority treat ment in the Human Learning Re search Lab. An A&M computer science doctoral student, Mrs. Mary Ann Herndon of San Diego, will work with Martin on the computer program. The former Apollo Support Program consultant also plans work in the development of teaching strategies among intel lectually disadvantaged children. He says research shows that when learning strategies em ployed by the gifted were taught to the culturally disadvantaged, greater learning efficiency re sulted. Martin also wonders how the deaf get more information from visual material and the blind ob tain data with their fingers not normally acquired through the sense of touch. “If we can discover the answer to such questions,” Martin said, “then maybe persons who have all their senses can make better use of them.” World health problems topic of seminar “International Health Prob lems” will be discussed Wednes day at Texas A&M by Dr. Doro thy Huskey in the first of a fall series of Health Education Sem inars. Dr. Huskey, health education professor at Sam Houston State, will speak at 4 p.m. in the library conference suite, announced Mel ba Halford, seminars coordinator for the Health and Physical Edu cation Department.
