Faculty To Receive Associateships
To Fund Semester-Long Research

By MEG VINSON

Thirty-two University
faculty members will receive
the Sesquicentennial
Associateships for research
within the United States and
abroad during the 1973-1974
school year.

The program provides
Associates with the
opportunity to continue
research in their specific field
or to seek new goals at the
University or at another
institution. The grants extend
for one semester within the
specified time.

The Sesquicentennial
Associateship Program was
created by the Board of
Visitors in 1969 in
commemoration of the
University's 105th anniversary.

One of the recipients, D.
Alan Williams, Associate
History Professor, and
vice-president of Student
Affairs, plans on completing
research on "the politics of
Colonial Virginia" and
beginning work on a book
concerning "the Bi-centennial
History of the Colonies."

Assoc. Chemistry Prof.
Lester S. Andrews plans to use
his grant by traveling to
England partially through his
own funds for a year and
collaborating with two
different professors to study
Spectroscopics, researching
"the reactions of Boron and
Aluminum atoms to simple
molecules."

Assoc. Law Prof. Jerry L.
Mashaw says he will work on a
book dealing with "what is to
be done about provisions of
legal services to indigent
people." Mr. Mashaw would
like to work on this project all
next year if he is able to
receive outside funding.

Most of the associates are
from the Faculty of Arts and
Sciences. They are: W. Lester
S. Andrews, Thomas I. Crowell
and Oscar R. Rodig of the
Department of Chemistry; Paul
Barolsky of the Art

Environmental Sciences; Hoyt
T. Duggan, Kurt O. Olsson and
Alan Williamson of the English
Department; James L. Riopel
of the Biology Department;
