 THE FLORIDA ENGINEERING
 EDUCATION DELIVERY SYSTEM (FEEDS)

 The Florida Engineering Education Delivery System
 (FEEDS) is a cooperative effort to deliver graduate engi-
 neering courses and degree programs via video delivery
 to engineers throughout Florida. Along with the Univer-
 sity of Florida, participating universities include the col-
 leges of engineering at Florida State University/Florida
 A&M University, Florida Atlantic University, Florida In-
 ternational University, the University of Central Florida,
 and the University of South Florida and the cooperating
 centers at the University of North Florida and the Univer-
 sity of West Florida. Graduate students associated with
 any of these universities have access to the graduate
 engineering courses offered via the FEEDS throughout the
 state during the school term. Students wishing to be
 admitted to the FEEDS program or wishing to register for
 classes at the University of Florida should do so by
 contacting the FEEDS Coordinator, 313 Weil Hall. Stu-
 dents pursuing a degree through the College of Engineer-
 ing at the University of Florida are governed by its
 requirements, the department to which they have been
 admitted, and the Graduate School.

 HEALTH PHYSICS AND MEDICAL PHYSICS

 Twoallied interdisciplinary options, health physics and
 medical physics, are offered as a cooperative effort of the
 Departments of Environmental Engineering Sciences and
 Nuclear Engineering Sciences, College of Engineering,
 the Departments of Radiology and Radiation Oncology,
 College of Medicine, and other units of the University.
 Degrees are granted by the College of Engineering and
 include Master of Science, Master of Engineering, Engi-
 neer, and Doctor of Philosophy.
 Health Physics Is the science devoted to protecting man
 and the environment from the harmful effects of radiation
 while permitting its beneficial use. Students may seek
 admission to either the Department of Environmental
 Engineering Sciences or the Department of Nuclear Engi-
 neering Sciences. The study program includes depart-
 mental requirements, common health physics courses
 and electives to meet a particular emphasis. Opportuni-
 ties for research and practical training are availablethrough
 cooperation with departments in the health sciences, with
 the University's Division of Environmental Health and
 Safety, and with industry. The University of Florida is one
 of twelve in the nation approved for participation in the
 Department of Energy Health Physics Fellowship Pro-
 gram. Prospective students are eligible for Institute of
 Nuclear Power Operations fellowships, Health Physics
 Society fellowships, and numerous research supported
 assistantships. For additional information contact either
the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences or
the Department of Nuclear Engineering Sciences.
 Medical Physics is concerned with the applications of
physical energy concepts and methods to the diagnosis
and treatment of human disease. Students enroll in the
Department of Nuclear Engineering Sciences. Formal


courses include department core requirements, a radia-
tion biology course, a block of medical physics courses
taught by Nuclear Engineering Sciences, Department of
Radiology, and Department of Radiation Oncology fac-
ulty, and one or more health physics courses. In addition,
the program includes clinical internships in the Depart-
ments of Radiology and Radiation Oncology. Research
opportunities and financial support exist in the form of
faculty research and projects related to patient care.

OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
 The University of Florida is a member of Oak Ridge
Associated Universities (ORAU), a nonprofit education
and research management corporation of 48 colleges and
universities. ORAU, which was established in 1946,
conducts programs of research, education, information,
and human resource development for a variety of govern-
ment and private organizations. It makes extensive use of
the facilities and resources of the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory and is particularly interested in three areas:
energy, health, and the environment.
 Among ORAU's activities are competitive programs to
enable undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty
members to work on research problems at the research
facilities of the United States Department of Energy.
Participants are selected by ORAU and the staffs of the
facilities participating in the ORAU programs. These
include the Oak Ridge National Laboratory; the Oak
Ridge Y-12 Plant; the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant;
the Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Laboratory in
Oak Ridge; the Savannah River Laboratory and Savannah
River Ecology Laboratory in Aiken, South Carolina;.the
Comparative Animal Research Laboratory in Oak Ridge;
the Puerto Rico Nuclear Research Center; and the Energy
Research Centers at Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, and Morgantown, West Virginia. TheORAU
Institute for Energy Analysis, the Special Training Divi-
sion, and the Medical and Health Sciences Division are
also open to qualified students and faculty members.
 Undergraduate.-The ORAU Undergraduate Research
Training Program offers juniors majoring in the sciences,
engineering, and mathematics an opportunity to spend 10
weeks during the summer working in directed research
programs at these sites.
 Graduate.-The ORAU Laboratory Graduate Participa-
tion Program enables a candidate for an advanced degree,
upon completion of all requirements for work-in-resi-
dence except research, to work toward completion of a
research problem and preparation of the thesis at one of
the participating sites.
 Faculty.-University of Florida faculty members under
the ORAU Faculty Research Participation Program may
go to a Department of Energy facility for varying periods
up to three months for advanced study and research. It is
also possible to combine a University of Florida faculty
development grant with a longer ORAU Faculty Research
Participation appointment.
 Stipends are available. The student stipends are at fixed
rates that change from time to time. Faculty stipends are
based upon each person's current University salary.
 Information and announcements concerningtheORAU-
DOE university-laboratory programs are available in the
offices of the Graduate School. Bulletins also may be
obtained by writing to the University Programs Office,
