This program, started by Dr. Mel Friedman, enables qualified seniors to substitute six credit hours of problems courses in their cur riculum (three per semester) to pur sue research under the direction of a faculty advisor and to participate with other Fellows and their Ad visors in a “community of scholars. ” “Our purpose,”* Dr. Friedman said, “is a broadening of learning how research is conducted in these other fields.” Raj Kent, a senior and vice- president of Academic Affairs, is one of the twenty-three in the prog ram. Kent’s research project is “Development of Greenhouse Pot ting Media.” Kent explained that there yvas a shortage of pear moss, the most common potting medium, last year, and the shortage is becoming more critical. His research includes diffe rent potting media such as rice hulls and cedar. Although there is no class time involved, much study and research goes into each project. Kent aver ages two hours daily between work ing with the plants and doing re search . Application for the program must be made in the spring semester of the junior year. The applicant must have a grade-point average of 3.5 or better, and endorsement of a faculty advisor, department head and dean. Next, a six-page proposal including the objectives of the research pro ject must be written. A committee then selects the members. A monthly meeting of the “com munity” is also required. The fel lows discuss their research project with each other. They discuss why a Students respirator mysteriously cut off Associated Press SELDEN, N.Y. — “Please un derstand. I don’t have time,” said Maryjane Dahl, a 16-year-old honor student who knew she would die but rushed with high hopes into life. “I have Hodgkin’s disease. I’m in a hurry,” she told English teacher Jay Flescher in asking for help to graduate early. She wanted to get to college, study biochemistry and cure fatal diseases. “Maryjane was an inspiration. She never talked about pain. She touched people, Flescher said of the tall, big-boned girl with big blue eyes and a big ready smile. But Hodgkin’s disease, a plague since she was 14, was not the cause of Maryjane’s death; it was in remis sion. She became terminally ill with meningitis in October and fell into a coma. She died last Sunday after her life-sustaining respirator was mys teriously unplugged and turned off. Maryjane was buried Thursday as more than 150 students bowed tbeir heads at her grave covered with red roses and white chrysanthemums. Maryjane loved flowers but used to say extravagant boquets were wasted on the dead. The exact cause of death has not been determined. An intensive police investigation is underway, raising the issue of mercy killing and the specter of murder. The Nassau County Medical Examiner reported Thursday that her mother, Mrs. Kenneth Sarvent, of Upper Nyack, N.Y., had asked [STIMULATE & YOUR LAWNS’ ROOT SYSTEM this Fall With ferti'lome WINTERIZED WITHOUT WINTERIZED *®SB3Sg starter Special formula for winterizing your lawn.

Open Sunday 11:00 A.M* - 1:30 P.M. for regular meal only. “QUALITY FIRST” particular research program was chosen, how it will be approached and what the significant results might be. Results and findings will be discussed next semester. “It is tremendous experience and beneficial for graduate school, Kent said.m“I have also had a chance to interact with other people from other fields. I would encour age all who qualify to apply for it.” Stanton Jones, also a member, is doing research in the field of psychology. “I am investigating human learning and I hope to show that they are helpless in many situa tions.” An example of this would be a student failing a test and getting so depressed that it affects his other grades,” Jones said. “I think the Undergraduate Fel lows program is great,” he said. “There is such a diverse group of people, and it is interesting to see how they do research in their indi vidual fields.” doctors at least six times not to pro long her life with unusual measures. Her mother and her aunt, Jane Sheehan of Selden, had visited Maryjane on the night of her death but said they didn’t pull the plug. “I thought she was going to be cured of the meningitis, tbat she would beat that like she beat every thing else,’’ Mrs. Sheehan said Thursday in an interview. But her family refused to discuss the investigation. Maryjane lived with Mrs. Sheehan and her grandmother, Mary Manuchin, in tbis small Long Island community. “She was my sunshine. She was full of life and cheered everyone up,” said Mrs. Manuchin. “She was the best kid on earth walking.” Days before she was admitted to the hospital on Oct. 15, she had been sewing a colonial costume for a Bicentennial school program and had tried out for a part in a school production of “Hello, Dolly. ” She was a member of the school honor society, math club and sci ence club. She worked on the liter ary magazine and newspaper. She excelled in all and planned to graduate next June and attend col lege in California. “She never talked about death,” her mother said. “We didn’t dwell on it, and she didn’t either.” Her best friend, Mary Jo Rasco, recalls that she and Maryjane went on a 20-mile walk-a-thon for charity a couple of years ago. After 10 miles, Mary Jo wanted to give up. NOW, BRYAN- COLLEGE STATION HAS KORA FBI stereo 98. COUNTRY LOVIN’ ...it’s natural listenin! BUYING PAGES IN THE AGGIELAND ’76 FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND CLUBS In an attempt to set precedent concerning the conflict of recognized versus unrecognized organizations and clubs, The Aggieland ’76 is requiring organizations and clubs desiring to be represented in the book BE RECOG NIZED BY THE UNIVERSITY. Even if an unrecognized organization or club has bought pages in past Aggielands, if they want to be in cluded this year the organization or club must go through the recognition procedures established by the university. An organization or club wanting to become recog nized can do so at the Student Programs Office, second floor of the MSC. The Aggieland will accept no organization or club for reserving space after Nov. 14, 1975. All previously recognized organizations and clubs plus those applying for recognition have until Nov. 14 to reserve space. After Nov. 14 there will be no further space sold in the book and no exceptions will be made. If any questions develop call Student Publications at 845-2611, ask for Debbie Stallings or Gary Baldasari. BATTALION CLASSIFIED Dr. Friedman, in evaluating the program up to this point, said,”I think the program is working out better than we expected. The re search is extremely imaginative and is being conducted in the highest standards. The “community” meet ings are proving tremendously en joyable and educational for both fa culty and fellows. Members of the program include; Mark Bauer, Barbara Bell, Michael Bergsma, Debra Ann Browning, Robert Davis, and Samuel Fergu son III. Others include Stan Jones, Diane Kadane, Raj Kent, Cathy McNeal, Joe Morris, Jr., and Jane Sloan Mos ley.
