In addition, members began Donna Avery, Bonfire commit tee chairman, said anyone who wants to cut wood for the bonfire must attend a cutting class.

Research will be conducted into the cultures of American In dians and Alaskan Natives (Eski mo or Aleut), Black Americans, Mexican Americans/Chicanos and Puerto Ricans. Fellowship reci pients will be selected from among scientists, engineers and scholars in the humanities who show greatest promise of future achievement in academic research and scholarship in higher educa tion. In this national competition sponsored by the Ford Founda tion, citizens of the United States who are members of one of the designated minority groups, who are engaged in college or universi ty teaching and who hold doctoral degrees may apply for a fellowship award of one year’s duration. Awards will be made in the areas of behavioral and social sci ences, humanities, engineering sciences, mathematics, physical sciences, life sciences, and inter disciplinary programs of study. Awards will not be made in such professions as medicine, law, or social work, or in such areas as educational administration, curri- culum supervision or pens |( and guidance.

El-Sayed, a leading American oceanographer, is meeting with 29 scientists at the University of Hamburg, West Germany, to study, in an unpre cedented manner, the possibili ties of a new food source. The source is krill, a small Antarctic marine animal so plenti ful it could double worldwide food supplies from the sea, El-Sayed said, i The manner is a unique use of computers to analyze scientific findings from nearly 20 research ships at the same time. With a style never before used in science, reseachers will run their findings through computers simultaneously. The researchers will see their results for the first time when displayed with others, rather than competing against each other to analyze and publish findings in scores of scientific jour- Amusement Conspiracy I ittle River Rand.

The Battalion Since 1878 nals around the world, explained El-Sayed. The three-week meeting began Sept. 21 at the University of Ham burg’s computer science center, the Fachbereich Informatik. The university earmarked over $250,000 for the project, El-Sayed said. The reason such techniques are possible is that the researchers — representing a dozen nations — all agreed beforehand to use the same fact-gathering methods while taking part in the world’s largest seagoing biological re search cruise — First Internation al BIOMASS Experiment or FIBEX — last February and March. During FIBEX, part of an inter national, decade-long scientific study of Antarctic ecology, resear chers gathered information on the abundance, distribution and re production of the shrimp-like krill along with various aspects of water chemistry in the Southern Ocean, El-Sayed said. FIBEX was the first major step in the 10-year study of Antarctic marine life and ecology known by the acronym BIOMASS, he said. A second expedition called SIBEX is planned for early 1984. Details of the second expedition will be worked out at a meeting in Japan early next year after resear chers have had time to study and analyze results of the H meeting.
