Panels of outstanding scientists appointed by the Academy- Research Council will evaluate applications of all candidates. Final selection will be made by the Foundation, with awards to be announced on March 15,1967. Fellowships will be awarded for study in the mathematical, physical, medical, biological and engineering sciences; also in anthropology, economics (excluding business administration), geography, tie history and philosophy of science, linguistics, political science, psychology (excluding clinical psychology), and sociology (not including social work).

Applicants for the graduate awards will be required to take the Graduate Record Examina- Martln St. James, billed "hy- Dnotist extraordinaire," will a- pear tonight in Reid Gymnasium at 8 p.m. This is the second lyceum of the year, tions designed to test scientific aptitude and achievement, The examinations, administered by the Educational Testing Service, will be given on Jan. 21, 1967, at designated centers throughout the United States and certain foreien countries. Although any eligible person may apply in the Graduate Fellowship Program, applicants should be aware that the competition for these awards is intense, the Foundation announced.

Elkan of the Microbiology Department at North Carolina State University spoke at a meeting of the Bio- logy Club on Monday, Nov. 7. Dr. Elkan spoke; on the topic "Life Support Systems for Space traveL* Dr. Elkan began his talk with the question, "What is needed to support a man in space? This is not a problem yet," he continued, "but as longer trips are made, trips lasting for months rather than weeks, it will be a problem which must be sol vei. "In the early one-man space flights, all that was needed to supply oxygen to the Astronaut was an adequate supply of liquid oxygen. The system used on the two-man and the upcoming three-man flights is more refined, but it is essentially the same. Men are limited in the amount of time they can stay in space because they are handicapped by their need Cor an adequate supply of oxygen." Dr. Elkan then discussed the four main systems for supplying the oxygen needs for the astronauts. These four systems are the simple closed system, the improved closed system, the completely closed system, and the biological system which he said was the most promising. "The biological system's main difference for the other sys terns is its use of algae to provide both oxygen and food for the occupants of the space ship, in this system the algae produce oxygen through photosenthesis and their reproduction provides food. These plants are sjst^hied by the carbon dioxide exail?! by the men, by fie waste products they give off, and by artificial light" Dr. Elkan, while aiding a high school student in a science project, constructed a model of this type of life support system. The system kept the mouse alive and active for several weeks. In conclusion Dr. Elkan stated that despite the research now being done on improving this system, it will probably be twenty years before it can be used. FALL EXAMS 1.

Keene, chairman of the newly organized Student Committee for a Free China. Keene, a political science major at the University of Wisconsin, said that the student group, whose national headquarters are in New York City. hoped to have representatives on a minimum of 400 colleges and university campuses .vit'ii i the next two months. Student Committee for a Free China is a project of the American Secretariat of the World Youth Crusade for Freedom, an organization founded last year to stimulate and coordinate the activities of anti-Communist youth groups throughout the world. Keene participated Li the work of the international organ- Iza'iji as a volunteer in their Freedom Corjys project whlcn sent American students to the Far East during July and August to work with anti-Communist youth groups there. He spent the summer months in Vietnam In reporting on the activities of the Freedom Corps and setting forth the reasons for organizing the new Student Committee, Keene said, "There is one thing that we all learned in the Freedom Corps: the greatest single enemy of freedom in Asia is Communist China." He went on to say that it is Red China which is supporting the Vietnam war and is spreading "its web of subversion and infiltration throughout all the free nations of Asia." He stated that Communist China "is the threat to the independent nations of Asia and the self-avowed enemy" of the United States. Keene slams those who have or do advocate a policy of appeasement for China since the Communist takeover of the mainland in 1948. He claims that in the past two years a "well- financed and well-publicized campaign" has come about due to this stand. "The Chinese Communists are losing ground everywhere in the world but in the United States. It is here--in our own country—that they seem to be gaining," he said. "There are many groups, publications and individuals promoting the cause of appeasement of Red China among American students." One such group about which the Student Committee for a Free China is particuarly concerned is the avowed "student group," Americans for Reappraisal of our Far Eastern Policy, organized at Yale University in 1965. •Through distortion of fact and the utilization of effective and expensive propaganda techniques—and under the umbrella of sponsoring professors—this group has begun to make an impact on the minds ■<" y.vi-ig Americans," he says. Members of the Senior American Advisory Council of the World Youth Crusade for Freedom, the paro'il body of t'ja Student Committee, include: John Chamberlain, nationally syndicated columist; General Mark W. Clark; novelist John Dos Passos; Barry Goldwater; Stanley K„ Hornbeck, former head of the Far Eastern desk of the Department of State; Walter D. Jacobs, University of Maryland professor; Walter H. Judd, former congressman (Minn.); Richard Nixon, Admiral Arthur W. R-idford.Davii N. Rowe, Yale University professor; and Lewis L. Strauss, former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.

The Democratic representatives in the 3rd, 6th, and 7th Districts were unopposed. In Buncombe county, Republican Sheriff Harry P. Clay led the entire Republican slate to victory as lie trounced Democrat Charles Dermid oy a 2-1 margin. The only Democrats returned to office by the voters were state representatives Gordon H„ Greenwood and Her- schel Harkins. Democratic incumbent Frel Holcombe was re-elected sheriff of Jackson County over Republican Grady Parker. Holcombe received 3,356 votes to Parker's 3,160. Holmes Allison, a Democrat, received 215 write in votes. Eighty per cent of Jackson county's registered vo? ters took part in the election. Clay's landslide victory nearly spelled defeat for 11th District congressman Roy A. Taylor. W. Scott Harvey, the Republican challenger, rode Clay's coattails to a 4,000 vote margin in the normally Democratic county. Returns from the other 15 counties in the district made the difference in Taylor's victory. Republican Charl es H. Taylor was elected to the 48th District House seat as Democratic incumbent Lacy Thornburg went down to defeat. Thornburg carried both Jackson and Swain counties, but Transylvania county gave the Brevard native the margin for victory.
