problems in experimental marine biology and medi- cine. The Laboratory's research scope comprises three areas-neurobiology; membrane transport and xenobiotic toxicity; cell biology and biochemistry. The facility is particularlywell equipped and situated for carrying out its mission. The members of the Whitney Laboratory are full-time resident scientists; their facul- ty appointments are in biological science depart- ments of the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Medicine. Qualified graduate students in those de- partments may carry out their research at the Labora- tory; fellowships are available. Visiting investigators from Florida's State University System and elsewhere are encouraged. The Laboratory's program is coordi- nated with similar ones in the region through the North Florida Association for Experimental Marine Biology. For further information, contact the Scientific Di- rector, C. V. Whitney Laboratory, Route 1, Box 121, St. Augustine 32084. Biophysics and bioengineering are interdisciplinary areas which bring the concepts'and methods of the basic and applied physical sciences to bear upon bio- logical problems. Students may elect one or another of these programs depending upon their back- grounds, the extent of their interest and abilities in physical sciences, and their concern with and com- petence in development of new physics or engineer- ing for use in biology. One program is conducted under the supervision of the Biophysics Council, which includes represent- atives from the Colleges of Agriculture, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Several de- partments offer biophysics options at the graduate level. A student interested in such an option must qualify for graduate study in a department and satisfy the advanced degree requirements established by the departmental faculty. The Biophysics Council may then provide individual guidance in curricular mat- ters. For information on this program, write to the rep- resentative of the Biophysics Council in one of the following departments: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Entomology and Nematology, Materials Science and Engineering, Microbiology and Cell Sci- ence, and Zoology. The Council representative in Physics should be consulted for advice on courses and seminars in biological physics. The Departments of Chemical and Electrical Engi- neering offer master's and doctoral study concentra- tions in biochemical and biomedical engineering, re- spectively; and advanced study and research in biomaterials are available in the Department of Mate- rials Science and Engineering. Write to the depart- ment concerned for further information. A specialization in biological physics is available within the Department of Physics. Students in this op- tion must qualify for admission to graduate studies in physics and satisfy all of the requirements for a regu- lar advanced degree in the department. In addition these students must prepare, themselves in organic and physical chemistry and general biology, to the ex- tent that they can study and demonstrate knowl- edgeability in molecular biology, cytology, and physi- ology. Research studies are generally conducted in collaboration with scientists in biological or medical. fields on this campus or elsewhere. Doctoral candi- dates must contribute to new knowledge in both physics and biology, and demonstrate ability to select for themselves significant new problems in biology. This program is monitored by the graduate faculty in INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDIES / 33 physics and by two interdisciplinary advisory commit- tees; of the latter two, one is comprised of members from pertinent physical and biological disciplines on this campus, and the other of bioscientists from out- side the University. For further information write to the Biological Physics Program, Department of Phys- ics. Attention should also be given to the special- izations of the Center for Sensory Studies, as de- scribed in the section on Interdisciplinary Research Centers, since that center includes other biophysical programs. CENTER FOR ALLIED HEALTH EDUCATION The Center, an interdisciplinary effort by the Col- leges of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation, Health Related Professions, and Education, functions as a source of information regarding degree programs available to allied health professionals who desire ad- vanced academic training in allied health education. The Center's purpose is to provide advisement for students seeking information about degree programs that would best fulfill their career goals in the allied health professions, keep abreast of career op- portunities and needs in allied health, and provide in- terdisciplinary communication and continuing edu- cation for practicing professionals in allied health. Persons who desire to enroll in graduate programs for the master's or doctoral degree as preparation for careers in teaching or administration in the allied health sciences may seek advisement through the Center regarding the degree program options avail- able at the University of Florida. Such applicants should possess a baccalaureate degree in a health-re- lated area and credentials acceptable for admission to the Graduate School of the University of Florida. Ex- amples of fields from which students will be con- sidered include (but are not limited to) medical tech- nology, physician's assistance, occupational therapy, health science, health education; physical therapy, dental hygiene, and nursing. Requests for further information should be sent to Director, Center for Allied Health Education, Depart- ment of Health Education, College of Physical Educa- tion, Health, and Recreation. CENTER FOR CHEMICAL PHYSICS The Center, with the participation of the faculty of the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Chemical Engineering, is concerned with graduate education and research in the theoretical, experimental, and computational aspects of problems in the borderline between chemistry and physics. Graduate students join one of the above departments and follow a spe- cial curriculum. The student receives, in addition to the Ph.D. degree, a Certificate in Chemical Physics is- sued by the Graduate School. For information, con- tact the Director, Williamson Hall. ENGINEERING: STATE CENTER The College of Engineering has established an off- campus graduate engineering education center at Eglin Air Force Base where qualified personnel may enroll in courses leading to the master's degree. For admission to the graduate program, the prospective student must file an application with the Graduate
