The summer enrichment experience is especially de signed to meet the needs of minority junior and senior health science or health related majors, who have the commit ment to complete a graduate or professional in chemistry, biology, physics and mathe matics, in addition to basic skills enrichment in reading, writing and study skills. Standardized test-taking skills and analysis and application of information were the other components of the program. In addition to the rigorous course of study, Paul and Michael participated in health related field trips to N.C. Memorial Hospital and Duke Medical Center to observe surgical operations and hospital procedures. These experiences exposed the students to prac tical and clinical aspects of the health professions.

The University of Santo Domingo, founded in 1538, is the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. Our Ecological Responsibility By Samuel Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relationships between living organism and their envirori- ment. There are many interesting phases of ecology. A minor study in this area will show us how creatures, and plant life have brought themselves back from near extinction naturally through this function. Before presenting a few examples, know that our main guest and concern is to recognize our responsibilities in curtailing the forces threating our ecological existence today. Ecologists have found pre dators or parasites that eliminates pests or keep them from increasing too fast. The Artie fox and the Snowy owl have 3-4 year cycles. They reached their population peak every four years. These two animals eat lemmings. So when the lemming population de creases the Artie fox and the Snowy owl begin to die off giving the lemming time to repopulate. On Isle Royale the moose population once again began to increase, the wolves found their way to the island and began eating the moose, that brought an ecology balance on Isle Royale of 600 moose, 20 wolves and abundant plant life. A Duke University Ecologist released a report, Sunday, March 16, 1980 via radio that affects the world population ecologically. He found that an over abundance of carbon- dioxide has filled our atmo sphere, but he stated that there did not seem to be any future effects on the climate or plant and animal life forms. This condition has speeded up the rate of photo synthesis in plant life, which creates more oxygen but not enough to give the atmosphere it’s normal population, but he further mentions that because of the increase of dust in the air over recent years an aid in containing the cardon dioxide also, thereby suggesting that there is very little or no effect on the world population. Knowledge of a problem stimulates one’s awareness. Understanding a problem pro duces a response. In the word responsibility The following facts should show us our God-Given role in creation and will hopefully improve our attitude toward this urgent matter facing mankind. 1. The wisest of our scientists now agree, by studying the workings in creation, that such a perfect and harmonious Maynard ordeal could not have been in motion accidentally. 2. Although geologists have proven by their findings, that creatures other than man have evolved physcially along with man over trillions of years, man alone has evolved intectually. He was given the gift of reasoning and other higher faculties not shared by other creatures and creations. 3. Biblically speaking, “Let us make man,” is actually “Let us make mind” because the physical man was already present prior to the birth of Adam 6,000 years ago, so he was recipient of the first mind. 4. “Let there be light” was actually “Let there be know ledge." For knowledge expels ignorance, just as physical light expels darkness. The honey bee can’t decide one day to make his cone square or circular, he has to make it hexagonal as he did for trillions of years ago upon his instinctive creation. Man being unlimited was able to look at the bird and desired to fly. He possibly watched a frog riding a rotten branch and desired to rule the waters. From gliders and canoes, he went to 747 and ocean liners. Ecology fever is one of our recent visitors to the masses on our country, perhaps as a response to the industrial revolution. America was busy digging stockpiling, producing and failed to realize the environmental dangers. There fore out to panic, we started dumping waste in the ocean and local waterways. We poisoned our water, air, plant life, and animal life through burings and improper dis posals. The squirrel is ecologically inclined; A. The tree grows out of the ground and bears nuts. B. The squirrels eat their fill of nuts and buries some. C. Man cuts the tree down. D. The squirrel has a reserve of food in the ground and a high possibility of a tree growing from one of the buried nuts. Man could have possibly studied the squirrel’s pattern: 1. Man dug up the material. 2. Man used the material. 3. Man recycled material for reuse. 4. Man could no longer use the recycled material also he made landfills and eventually enjoyed it as a park. Remember, before you place waste in its improper place; Stop! Maybe the squirrel wants to speak to you. ATTENTION!!
