Tisher is a professor of medicine in the Divison of Nephrology and an associate professor of pathology. He has been involved in youth work in Durham for more than six years.

He is on the board of directors and also is on the Y.M.C.A. 1980 Capital Funds Campaign Committee. "I think the Y represents the single best example of integration socially, racially and economically/' Tisher said. "And that typ>e of organization is important to support." Tisher said involvement in the Y.M.C.A. helped him "kill two birds with one stone. It involves my children in physical activity and allows me to be with them," he said. Tisher was the person primarily resf)onsible for the organization of soccer at the Y.M.C.A., a program which now involves more than 400 girls and boys. "I know of no layman in the city of Durham'^ who is more actively involved in working with children and youth than Dr. Tisher," said Rembert Garris, director of the Y.M.C.A. Tisher has three children, all of whom are involved in Y.M.C.A. activities. « Prof. to study in Holland Dr. W. Doyle Gentry, professor of medical psychology, has accepted an invitation to spend a year as a visiting professor at Catholic University in Nijmegan, Holland, beginning Sept. 1. He will be working with the . university's cardiology and medical psychology departments in setting up a research program on the psychological aspects of coronary heart disease. He will also conduct seminars on behavioral medicine for medical students and faculty members. Gentry said he feels particularly honored that Catholic University selected him because it invites only one American scientist as visiting professor each year. Previous invitations have always gone to scientists working in the clinical areas of medicine and such basic sciences as physiology, anatomy and biochemistry, he said. "I think their choice of a psychologist reflects their understanding that medicine is changing by becoming more closely linked with the social sciences," he said.

Peck announced that the new f>ositions have been filled by Edith Rosenblatt and John Dooley, who will coordinate the day- to-day operation of the pediatrics and surgical specialty inpatient units, respectively.
