groups.
Research will be conducted
into the cultures of American In
dians and Alaskan Natives (Eski

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

Texas A&M University Profes
sor Sayed Z. 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-

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.
