22,000 Seventh Graders To
Participate In Duke's Talent Search
Some 22,000 seventh
graders in 16 southern
and midwestern states
are expected to par
ticipate in Duke Univer
sity's 1983 Talent Iden
tification Program,
director Robert N.
Sawyer says.
About 18,000 students
in those states took part
in the 1982 academic
talent search.
Sawyer, an associate
professor of education
and lecturer in
psychology, said his of
fice has sent information
and registration forms
for the 1983 search to
14,000 middle schools in
the search area.
Duke Finds
Structure
TIP operates as far
west as Nebraska, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and
Texas. The higher
number of seventh
graders expected to par
ticipate this year comes
from having more
schools cooperate in the
project, Sawyer said.
. Seventh graders who i
score in the top 3 on j
standard achievement
tests are eligible for TIP,
which requires them to
take the Scholastic Ap
titude Test in December
or January.
The SAT is the test
most college-bound high
school seniors and
juniors' . take as part of
the admissions process.
If past experience
holds, Sawyer said in an .sions on Duke s East
interview, about 40 of Campus each summer,
the seventh graders tak- offering intensive study

ing the SAT will earn
scores equivalent to
college-bound high
school seniors on one of
the three SAT subtests.
The SAT ' contains
tests of math and verbal
ability, as well as a test
of standard written
English. '
Seventh graders who
score at the highest levels
on the SAT become eligi
ble for TIP educational
programs. All students
will be given a guide to
help them toward 'state
and local programs for
gifted and talented
youngsters, Sawyer said.
TIP also operates two
three-week academic sp-
in numerous disciplines.
Some courses have been
taken for college credit.
The registration
deadline for 1983's talent
search is November 24.
The program charges
$8.25 for administrative
mailing and printing
costs, and the SAT cost?,
an additional $10.50.
Regional and stater
awards winners are
honored at ceremonies in
May. For the last two
years, the top winner has

The discovery of a nev
structure in the lens o
the eye by a group o
researchers at Duki
University Medica
Center has led to a gram
to study a possible link
to cataracts.
Using an electror
microscope to examine
Fiber cells in mammalian
lenses, the scientist?
identified a new type ol
membrane contact bet
ween neighboring cells
that is structurally dif
ferent from previous
classes of membrane
contacts.
The scientists theorize
that this new type of con- .
tact between cells in the
lens may be important in
maintaining . lens
transparency.
Dr. J. David Robert
son, chairman of the
department of anatomy,
and Drs. Thomas J.
Mcintosh -and M.J.
Costello, assistant pro
fessors of anatomy, have
received a $330,745,
three-year grant from the
National Eye Institute.
The funds will support
a continuing study of the
new structure and its
relationship to normal
lenses and cataract
lenses; The original
discovery of this mem
brane contact was made
at Duke by Dr. Sidney
Simon, associate pro
fessor of physiology at
Duke, Dr. G. Zampighi
now at UCLA, and
Robertson. Mcintosh
and Costello.
Cataracts occur when
there is a decrease in lens
transparency, Costello
explained. More simply,
it becomes a clinical pro
blem when a portion of
the lens becomes opaque
and light doesn't pass
through. It's like wear- '
ing a very dirty pair of
glasses, the individual
can't get a complete im
age. , .
' Costello . said I he
researchers will use an
electron , microscope to ;
try to 'determine the :
distribution and - struc
ture of the new class of
membrane contacts.
"The goal is to iden
tify structural abnor
malities in the membrane '
contacts in the opaque
region - of mammalian
lenses, Costello added.
"We hope this wHI lead
to a better understanding
or what causes
' cataracts."
