Dental program open
to science majors
Science majors have a
chance to be selected for a 10
week dental research project
this summer, with free
transportation and $825 for ex
penses. Applicants need not be pre
dental or pre-medical students
to qualify, according to Wesley
C. Berry, director of research
at the College of Dentistry.
"The program is designed to
familiarize students with
research associated with den
tistry," he said. "Many
students have changed tbieir
majors to dentistry because of
the program."
Throughout the U.S., 40
students and 15 alternates will
be selected on the basis of
academic ability, interest in a
scientific career, scientific ap
titude, initiative and
leadership, Berry said.
Who should apply for the
program? Dr. Berry said any
undergraduate with a
background in the biological,
physical, social or behaviorial
sciences is welcome to pick up
an applicaton kit in his office.
The deadline for returning the
application is Feb. 15.
"No NU student has been
selected since tine program
began in 1965, but no one has
ever applied," Berry said. "I
think students here have as
much chance as anyone else to
be selected."
Winners will participate in
