PAGE 2/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/MARCH 9, 1978 Carolinian Newsbriefs Events happening around Cullowhee and WCU Students honored WCU can be proud of the achivements of two students. Lynda Morgan, a graduate student in history, is a tinaiisi for a Danforth Fellowship. Billy McGimsey, a biology-psychology major who graduated in December, attended an institute at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, in January. Ms. Morgan is one of over 2,700 persons from across the United Stales who applied for the Danforth Fellowships. In January she was received by a Danforth representative at the Atlanta Hilton. She will be notified on April 15 whether she will receive one of the 100 valuable fellowships. The Danforth Fellowships support persons who are interested in careers in college teaching. They pay all tuition and fees plus about $2,500 per year living expenses at any accredited graduate school in the US aiul at many universities abroad. Mr. McGimsey, on his own initiative, applied to attend a four-week institute in developmental biology at Woods Hole. He was in competition with students from the loading universities in the United States and with students from the leading universities in the United States and Canada. He was one of 23 persons selected to attend. Most of his classmates were advanced graduate students. The Marine Biological Laboratory is a prestigious institution, some 29 Nobel Prize winners having been associated with its since its founding in 1888. Mr. McGinisey's course consisted of lectures and research on the composition and development of the eggs and sperm of the sea urchin. He focused on the problem of how the genetic message in the fertilized egg guides its development into a mature organism. Ms. Morgan and Mr. McGimsey continue the tradition of other WCU students who have applied for conpetitive fellowships and positions. In 1975 Lynn York received a Danforth to study history at the University of Toronto in Canada. In 1977 Debbie Wright and Micheal Burnette received Board of Governors' Scholarships which pay full expenses to medical school. Whether or not she receives the Danforth. Ms. Morgan plans to attend either the University of Virginia or the University of North Carolina to prepare for a career in research and teaching. Mr. McGimsey has applied to attend the summer institute at Woods Hole, and afterward he will attend graduate school in biology.
