NSF awards grants
By Campus Digest News Service
A total of 1462 of the nation's "most
talented" college students will work
directly with faculty members in scientific
research under grants awarded recently
by the federally-financed National Science
Foundation (NSF) that organization has
announced.
NSF announced grants totalling some
$2.5 million were awarded to 148 colleges
and universities in 45 states and Puerto
Rico for support of 181 Undergraduate
Research Projects (UGP).
The primary objective of the URP
program says the NSF is to provide
promising students with firsthand ex-
perience in the handling of research
projects. In addition the URP projects are
designed to "expand the students'
knowledge and help them develop the
degree of creativity essential to scientific
inquiry" the organization says.
The research projects the students will
participate in cover all fields of science
including mathematics and engineering.
High priority however is given to
research dealing with environmental and
societal issues. The broad spectrum of
research activities covered by the grants
include the following URP projects:
-Archaeological field studies on
prehistoric mounds will be conducted by
eight students under the direction of the
department of Anthropology at southern
Illinois University at Carbondale Illinois.
-A social survey analysis of
minority governed townships in the South
will be performed by five students working
under the guidance of faculty in the
Department of Political Science at
Tougaloo College located at Tougaloo
Mississippi.
-Complex programming languages
software design and artificial intelligence
are among the areas of research in which
ten students will be able to participate
with faculty from the Department of In-
formation and Computer Science at the
University of California Irvine.
-Six students will work on industrially
related problems with faculty advisors
from the Department of Electrical
Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic
nstitute at Worcester Massachusetts.
Student participants in the URP progam
are full-time undergraduates usually
students in their junior or senior years.
According to the NSF these students have
demonstrated "career potential of their
college science and technology
programs." These students may receive
stipends of up to S900 for participation in
the 10-12 week summer projects. However
students who have received stipends from
the NSF for previous participation in the
URP or the related Student-originated
Studies program are not eligible for ad-
ditional stipend support.
Finally the NSF has included 12
projects under URP which are especially
orientated toward motivating minority
students to pursue careers in science.
'Pop Rocks9: Coining fad
By Campus Digest News Service
Question: What looks like candy smells
like candy taste like candy but blows up
in your mouth? 'Pop Rocks' of course .
'Pop Rocks' the current rage of
students in the Northwest are small candy
morsels that resemble pebbles-until you
put them into your mouth. Then they pop
with a loud cracking sound when moisture
inside the mouth releases carbon dixode
gas in the candy.
One would think that exploding candy
would have a very small market. But
inexplicably it has become the biggest
student fad since streaking in the Nor-
thwestern United States. Therestudents on
college campuses as well as their younger
comrades in junior high and high schools
are enthusiatically shooting off their
mouth-literally- with this new candy
oroduct.
Typical reactions ot students include:
"They're just neat" and ."They're
crunchy crackly..and feel like they're
popping up and down inside your head."
In fact the editor of the student
newspaper at the Washington State
University campus in Pullman told the
Associated Press that 'Pop Rocks' con-
stitute the ONLY fad on campus.
So far the true fad potential of 'Pop
Rocks' is unknown since it is currently
available only in Washington Wyoming
Idaho Montana Oregon and Canada.
These states constitute the test-market for
General Foods which handles 'Pop
Rocks.' From all indications the product
is a huge success. Today's
economy-minded students don't even
appear to mind the price of 15 cent a
packagewhich comes out to around $14
for a pound.
