Undergraduate Fellows Program
lets students conduct research
By Bridget Harrow
Reporter
Most students become queasy at the mention of hav
ing to write an essay. And many would panic if they had
to do in-depth research on a topic for two consecutive
semesters, and then write a formal thesis.
However, there are a few students who would like
the chance to take on such a task, and the Undergrad
uate Fellows Program gives them this opportunity.
The program is a two-semester research project,
which produces an honors thesis. Under the direction
of an adviser, students are able to conduct independent
research in their Fields. During their senior year, stu
dents in the program substitute any six credit hours in
their major, three each semester, for research problem
courses.
“The program is designed for those who intend to
pursue a career in research,” said Louise Canfield, di
rector of the University Honors Program. “It’s an op
portunity for students to gain invaluable research expe
rience, work closely with distinguished faculty and
benefit from research discussions with other students.”
To be eligible for the program, students must have
an overall grade-point ratio of 3.25 or better at the end
of the first semester of their junior year. Applicants
must file a preproposal with the Honors Program of
fice. Once the preproposal is approved, prospectivefel
lows are notified, and they must submit a formal propo
sal written under an adviser’s direction. Canfield said
the main reason applicants must submit both proposals
is to ensure a good student-adviser relationship.
‘T he student-adviser relationship is absolutely cru
cial,” Canfield said. "The adviser must think carefully
about this. He has to be aware of the time, and in some
cases, the financial commitments. All good studems
don’t make good researchers, just as all professorsdoni
make good advisers. If they do not communicate well,
then the whole program is a failure.”
At the end of the program, each fellow mustsubmita
senior honors thesis describing his research. The theses
are bound and placed in the Archives of the University
Library. And at the annual Undergraduate Fellows
Symposium, fellows present a professional paper sum
marizing their research findings, and awards for the
best theses are given. Fellows are recognized at Com
mencement and their transcripts identify them as Uni
versity Undergraduate Fellows.
Between 100 and 110 students are selected each year
If space is a limitation, preference is usually given to
students with prior experience in the Honors program
But Canfield said space is usually not why some stu
dents’ preproposals are declined. Primarily, prepropo
sals are declined because of missed deadlines, she said.
Health center wing
to get oxygen facility
By Cindy Bomba
Reporter
The opening of the new addition
to the A.P. Beutel Health Center will
upgrade Texas A&M’s hyperbaric
medicine facilities, says Dr. William
P. Fife, hyperbaric laboratory direc
tor.
Hyperbaric medicine is the use of
compressed air and oxygen in the
treatment of diseases, says Fife, pro
fessor emeritus of biology.
“In our hyperbaric chambers, we
compress air and have the patients
either breathe oxygen through a
mask or we apply the oxygen topi
cally to the wound,” he says.
“It is very rare for a university to
have hyperbaric facilities,” Fife says.
“A&M is one of about five universi
ties in the nation with these facili
ties.”
The facility is located nearly three
miles from the main campus, adja
cent to the Nuclear Science Center.
Hyperbaric medicine has been
used widely since the early 1900s for
diving-related sickness, Fife says, but
it wasn’t until the 1960s that it
started to be seriously considered as
a treatment for other illnesses.
In the last 15 years, several ill
nesses have been found to be treata
ble with hyperbaric medicine.
Among them are carbon monoxide
poisoning, soft-tissue ulcers, non
union fractures, failing skin grafts,
gangrene and migraine headaches,
Fife says.
“With carbon monoxide poison
ing, half of the poison can be re
moved in 22 minutes in a hyperbaric
chamber,” Fife says. “It normally
takes five hours for the body to re
move the same amount of poison.”
Many diseases once thought to be
untreatable are getting positive re
sults through hyperbaric medicine,
Fife says, including multiple sclero
sis.
“Cirrhosis of the liver is often the
result of alcholism or ingestion of
some other poison,” Fife says. “It
looks like in the early stages, it can be
cured or reversed with hyperbaric
treatment.”
The new hyperbaric laboratory
will be completed in about 60 days
and the chamber will be moved to
the addition in about 30 days.
The chamber must be placed in a
hole about three feet deep and put
on a concrete slab that can hold the
pressure of hydrostatic water test-
in &-
This is a testing procedure that
must be done about every five years
to maintain safety. The chamber is
filled with water and checked for
leaks. If there is a leak, the chamber
could explode when pressurized.
“People don’t understand the
amount of pressure used out here,”
Fife says. “If one small thing went
wrong,you could be dead in 30 or 40
seconds.”
‘Bubbas’ win
tug-of-war
in Austin
• AUSTIN (AP) — “Bubba”
brawn proved better than “yup
pie” brain, when southside resi
dents proved their claim to being
the city’s better half in a weekend
game of tug-of-war across the
Colorado River.
North Austinites put their rep- (
utations on the line and cameoul
all wet in the event hilled as the
world’s largest tug-of-war.
The silver tug-of-war cham
pion cup, decorated at the base
with a piece of rope, sits on the
south side of the river, along with
its self-proclaimed bubbas, who
claim to have more brawn than
northside residents.
“We’re the bubbas, we’re south
Austinites,” said 360-pound Pat
Bennett. “The South will always
triumph.”
The event brought hundreds
of participants to the hanks of the
Colorado River and thousands of
onlookers who found it a good
excuse for a picnic.
Charles Gandy, a former state
representative, organized the big
tug to raise money to build a
youth hostel in Austin. Hostels
are inexpensive places for travel
ers to stay overnight. Between
$50,000 and $60,000 was raised,
he said.
