nual talent show. Any student or
small act is eligible, stated Bree-
den. Although area colleges an-

Now, even 4-year-olds under-
stand the facts of life.
After a brief visit to the rim-
put with her student-father, n
very young daughter was quite
impressed with the coeds who
talked to her. That evening she
asked her father fo read her a
story.
Father, however, told her he
had fo go bark to the campus.
She argued in vain that people
didn't go fo school at night.
Finally she turned to her
mother and explained. "Daddy
has to go hark to school to see
hi* girl friends."
Dr. Hubert C. Sherman, direc-
tor of the institute, has announced
that about two thousand brochures
were mailed to all secondary school
principals in the state. In addition,
approximately five hundred were

teachers in the north Texas area.
The brochures expluin the pur-
poses of the institute, qualifica-
tions for admission, programs and
courses which the participants
may attend, deadlines for apply-
ing, and facilities for the institute.
The institute was made possible by
u $'17,200 grant from the Nutionul
Science foundation, and is one of
.'150 similar institutes in the United
States.
Applications
Deadline for submission of ap
plications is Monday. Applications
should be mailed directly to Dr.
Sherman.
Applicants must be teachers of
at least two junior or senior high
school science or mathematics
classes. In choosing participants,
the committee will give preference
to those teachers who have demon-
strated some success in the teach-
ing they have done; those who
have had inadequate training in
the field in which they are teach-
ing, but who present evidence of
ability to pursue additional study;
who have shown some initiative in
supporting activities related to
science and mathematics teaching
in their schools, and who intend to
continue as science or mathema-
tics teachers for a number of
years.
Courses Offered
Courses to be offered in the in-
stitute are mathematics, physics,
biology, and chemistry. Each ap-
plicant will state his preference
for one of these courses, and he
will be assigned to only that
course. Each program will consti-
tute a full-time assignment, and
will carry six hours graduate
credit.
Fifty participants will lie award-
ed stipends, plus allowances for
the six-week term of the institute.
