Arts on display Waugh chosen teaching fellow The arts are on display in campus libraries this month. An exhibit of photographs from the American Dance Festival may be seen in the lobby of the East Campus Library. The black and white collection features scenes from the festival when it was in Connecticut, before moving to Duke. Also included are photographs of the founding director and founding faculty. Hand woven baskets, beautifully designed quilts, pottery, wooden toys, hand-crafted musical instruments and even some bags of flour are featured in the North Carolina Folk Arts Exhibit ‘ currently on display in the gallery of the Perkins Library. A "three-way" doll incorporating Red Riding Hood, her grandmother and the wolf is included. These folk arts items are from the collection of Duke graduates Marti Bowditch and Glenn Hinson and are being shown along with appropriate books from the library. Dr. Robert A. Waugh, assistant professor of medicine and director of the Cardiovascular Education Center here, has been selected by the American Heart Association as one of its two teaching scholars for 1978. The scholarship provides three years of financial support to attract interested young physicians into full-time teaching of medical students and improving teaching methods in cardiovascular medicine. Waugh, a native of Seattle, received his B.S. degree from Davidson College and his M.D. degree in 1966 at the University of Pennsylvania where he also served his internship and residency. He was named (Continued from page II what changes are occuring in the proteins that make the lens and cornea become opaque." He said part of the experiments involve subjecting human lenses and corneas removed during autopsies and animal tissues to UV light produced by adjustable xenon arc lamps. A technique known as electron paramagnetic resonance is then used to measure relative concentrations of free radicals that have been generated. If the free radicals can be identified through a process called "spin trapping," fellow in cardiology at Duke in 1970 and joined the faculty in 1972. In addition to improving the Cardiovascular Education Center, Waugh will coordinate evaluation of "Harvey," a life-size computer-operated manikin capable of simulating signs of numerous cardiac diseases. (See Intercom, 7/22/77.) The $100,000 teaching device was developed by Dr. Michael S. Gordon of the University of Miami to instruct medical students, interns and residents when patients with a disease being studied are unavailable. It is also being tested at the University of Arizona and Emory University. the scientists believe it may be pKjssibie to determine what kind of harmful chemical reactions are taking place. Eventually, Yamanashi said the work may lead to improved devices such as goggles or glasses to protect pilots and others from ultraviolet radiation. Also, it may suggest ways by which altering diet can increase the human eye's resistance to UV damage, he said. Dr. Gordon Klintworth, professor of pathology and a specialist in disease of the cornea, is collaborating with the research, Yamanashi said.
