Minority service offered How can minority college students planning for graduate school find the right opportuni ties for advanced study? One way is with the Minority Graduate Student Locater Ser vice, developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and of fered by the Graduate Record Examinations Board. Through this free service, college juniors, seniors and graduates who are members of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States can make their intentions known to gra duate schools seeking such applicants. Students sign up by com pleting the registration form contained in the GRE/MGSLS Information Bulletin. It is the same form used to register for the Graduate Record Exami nations, comprehensive apti tude and advanced tests used in the admissions process by many of the nation's graduate schools. But students do not have to take the GRE to use the Locater Service.

Admission 75 1 with 1.D., $1.50 for faculty and non-Guilford students, and $2.50 for the general public. Purchase of new laboratory equipment, research supplies, computer time, travel, and pub lication costs are supported by these grants. Professor Keegan's project requires equipment for a regu lated constant power supply which will subsequently be available for a variety of demon stration and laboratory teaching tasks. He will be studying "the Isolation, Purification, and Cha racterization of Thymidine Phosphorylase from Tetrahy mena pyriformis." Karen Winstead, a senior biology major who already has one year's experience in en- questions that ask for ethnic background, undergraduate major, intended graduate major and other information about educational experience and ob jectives. This information is placed in the Locater Service file and made available to participating graduate schools upon request. GRE scores are not included in the Locater Service file. Each graduate school esta blishes its own criteria to select students from the Locater Ser vice file based on ethnic back ground, intended major field of study, degree objective anJ state of residence. The names of students who use the Locater Service and meet the criteria set by a particular school will automatically be sent to that school. Students who want to make information available to gra duate schools three times dur ing the school year must have their registration forms in by Sept. 28. A student who misses that deadline but has the form in by Nov. 12 will be able to participate twice. Guilfordian zyme research, will be a re search assistant in the project. Clair Morse's project is "A Study of the Comparative Fre quency of Smiling for Men and Women," which has grown out of a pilot study on difference in smiling frequency, part of a broader interest of Professor Morse's in non-verbal commu nication. Richie Zweigenhaft's grant is for completion of a study of "Southern Jews and the Upper Class." This will be the fifth in his series of papers on this topic. Sheridan Simon's award will assist him in continued study of "The Evolution of Stars in the Presence of Non-Negligible Ro tation," part of a longer project on the general theory of the evolution of rotating stars. Several senior thesis topics are currently being planned in this field. Herb Appenzeller, a nation ally known expert in the area of Physical Education and the Law, will use his grant for research on sports law in the area of sport forms. It is expected that a quarterly newsletter on current sports law will also result from this study. Carol Schmid's book on "Conflict and Consensus in Switzerland" has just been accepted for publication by the University of California Press. The grant will support complep tion of this manuscript on intergroup relations in Switzer land. Paul Zopf's award will assist him in the preparation of his new book Cultural Accumula tion in Latin America, for pub lication Additional application dates for Faculty Research Grants are January 15 and May 15. Direct research expenses receive high priority in these awards. Selection is made in relation to institutional purposes and to continuing research potential. 9HHE , "J .' *v>cL !^w^nwSr T Dr. Dick Morton, one of this college's most dynamic professors, will speak on Undescribed Sinners as part of the Guilford College Collegium on Wednesday Oct. 31 in Founders Gallery at 3:30.
