They are Barrett Parsons, GMX- 1}; Michael Morris, H-1; William Goodwill, GMX-4; and Robert Gil- lis, MP-3. Parsons, who received a one-year scholarship under the 1968 program, will continue his studies at the University of New Mexico in electrical engineering. Morris, the recipient of a half year of benefits under last year’s program, will continue coursework in physics at Oklahoma State University. Gillis, who has been attending New Mexico State University since last fall, on leave from the Laboratory without pay, will continue his studies in mechanical engineering under the program. Goodwill will attend classes at the University of New Mexico where he will continue work in electrical engineering. The Technical Scholarship Program 1s now in its fourth year as a pilot project. It permits selected emplovees of AEC contractor la- boratories, who are within two years of completing studies for their bachelor degrees, to study full time on full salary.

Other participants were Argonne, Brookhaven and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, Lawrence Radiation Laboratories at Berkeley and Livermore, and Pacific North- west Laboratory. The recent scholarship winners bring to eight the number of LASL technicians named for the honor.

Each of the participating laboratories in the current program could recommend candidates for four man-years of education—four years which could be divided among candidates. On the basis of these award winners Leach has received the bachelor’s degree and is now working toward the master’s degree. He is a teaching assistant in the Chemistry Department at the University of New Mexico. Newell graduated in June 19
