Bohemian’s on
Halloween Eve
BY STEPHEN T. WARD
A local community of
artists and writers has been
established in Fayetteville
known as the Bohemians. On
October 30th, they will present
art works and do readings in
the spirit of Halloween. The
group is van guard and
unpredictable. This should be
a strange-exciting experience.
So, you have the taste for the
unusual or unexpected, come
share Halloween Eve with the
Bohemians at the Student
Center at 7 p.m.

Can You Name The Cat?
By now. I'm sure everyone
has heard of or has seen the
cat that is always loitering
around the Cafeteria Each
day, around lunch and dinner
time, the cat makes it's debut
to swindle students out of
some of their left overs from
the cafeteria Somehow, the
cat has made a great name for
himself
I know this kitty has been
given various names by several
groups, but I think it's time for
the students at Fayetteville
State to select a name for our
friend the cat,
I can imagine all the times
this cat has been called Tom,'
Selvester,' and Black Jack.’
Since this cat has given us
many fond memories to
cherish, why not give him a
name so that everyone will
know you are referring to
Cafe’s famous cat.
Whoever provides the best
name will receive instanta
neous popularity, and will also
have his/her picture printed
in the Bronco's Voice.
So, what are you waiting
for? Write you name, address,
and phone number with the
suggested name of the cat on a
3x5 card to the newspaper
office in the Student Center by
Tuesday, October 29th.
The winner of the contest
along with the name of the cat
win be printed in the next
issue of the Bronco's Voice
Good luck to the lucky
candidate!

Are you an academically
talented minority student in
your junior or senior year? Or
in your firstyear of graduate or
medical school? Are you
interest in a career in
biomedical research?
The National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NLAID) in Bethesda
Maiyland, has an initiative
called the Introduction to
Biomedical Research Program
that is specially designed to
acquaint academically
talented minority students to
career opportunities in the
broad field of biomedical
research.
NIAID, one of the 13
National Institutes of Health
(NIH), conducts and supports
research to study the causes of
allergic, immunologic, and
infectious diseases, and to
develop better means of
preventing, diagnosing, and
treating these illnesses.
“This program offers
minority students from across
the country an in-depth and
intense three-day introduc
tion to NIAID-NIH biomedical
research.’’ said Vincent A.
Thomas, project officer of the
programi. “This initiative grew
out of the Institute’s concern
about the underrepresen
tation of minorities in the
scientific pool. Our goal is to
increase the number of
minority biomedical research
ers."
Students-who are pro
vided per diem and round trip
tickets to the Bethesda
campus--will have the
opportunity to participate in
series of lectures, interview,
and tour the reowned NIH
clinical Center, the world's
largest biomedical research
facility. They will cilso discuss,
face-to-face with scientists,
current research initiatives
and advances as well as career
concerns and possible
summer employment oppor
tunities.
Participants will also have
the opportunity to apply for
summer positions in the
NIAID Division of Intramural
Research, and thus provide
them with general exposure to
research career paths and
further their knowledge and
understanding of biomedical
research, and the types of
positions available at NIH.
Approximately 55 students
will be selected for the Feb. 11-
16, 1990, program.
Deans and faculty may
recommend students with a
3.0 or better GPA. Selection is
based on faculty recommenda-
tions and personal and
academic achievements. Ifyou
are interested, you should
contact the dean or chair
person of the biology or
chemistry department of your
school.
The application packet
must be received from the
dean or chairperson at NIAID
no later than Nov. 20. Final
selections will be announced
by Dec. 13.
