Marine Biology Research. Limited field facilities for work in marine biology
are available on Seahorse Key, a high island about three miles southwest of Cedar
Key. These facilities consist primarily of a 24-foot work boat and a nine-room con-
verted lighthouse. Two rooms of the building are reserved for laboratories; the
remainder will be used as living quarters for investigators and students, and to
house a caretaker.
 Arrangements for the use of these facilities by qualified personnel of the Uni-
versity should be made through the office of the Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
 The Public Administration Clearing Service. The Service is a branch of the
Political Science Department in the College of Arts and Sciences. It provides con-
sulting services to state, county and local governments in Florida; and publishes
surveys of governmental and administrative problems. Where governmental problems
are broader than administration it acts in cooperation with other branches of the
University. Under the General Extension Division it cooperates in training programs
and short courses for public officials and employees, such as the Short Course for
City Managers.
 The Bureau of Architectural and Community Research. The College of Architec-
ture and Allied Arts has established a Bureau of Architectural and Community Re-
search to conduct and to coordinate research in those fields, which concern the
design of shelter and environment for all kinds of human activities. The Bureau
provides an opportunity for graduate students and for faculty members to engage
in research in architecture and in community planning, and to cooperate effectively
in research projects with other departments of the University.
 The University Center of the Arts. Educational and illustrative exhibitions of
work in architecture and the arts are a major contribution of the College of Architec-
ture and Allied Arts to the University and to the State. A beginning has been made
of a great teaching, research, and public service center known as the Center of
the Arts in which students, faculty, and the general public can study examples of
outstanding contemporary work in painting, industrial design, furniture, crafts, com-
munity planning, architecture, and the other arts.
 The Statistical Laboratory. The University of Florida Statistical Laboratory
provides consulting service on statistical problems to student, faculty and staff
research workers. The Laboratory maintains an IBM machine computing section.

 Office of Contract Research. The Office of Contract Research has been estab-
lished for the purpose of coordinating the relationships of the University with out-
side agencies interested in the sponsorship of fundamental and applied research.
All proposals for the sponsorship of research or for grants-in-aid must receive the
approval of the Director of Contract Research. Subsequent negotiations with poten-
tial contracting agencies or sponsors of research projects are carried on under the
Director. All contracts are subject to the final approval of the Board of Control.

 The Cancer Research Laboratory. The Cancer Research Laboratory is engaged
 in a study of chemical carcinogenesis and gastric cancer. Since its establishment
 in 1949, the results of research have been described in more than two dozen scientif-
 ic papers and in various national scientific meetings. The Laboratory cooperated
 with the National Cancer Institute and the Sloan-Kettering Research Institute. The
 staff consists of five members with professorial rank, two research assistants,
 three technicians, a secretary and an animal caretaker. In addition to two graduate
 fellows, several student assistants are employed on a part time basis.
