sium is made by the schools par-
ticipating in the program. About
500 ^students rf d teachers will
attend from throughout the
state.
"The purpose of the sympo-
sium is to bring to high school
science students and teachers
information and lectures on nu-
clear physics and related topics
by scientists, and to provide the
students with opportunities to
obtain answers to their ques-
tions on scientific careers and
college curricula," Phillips said.
Among the speakers ^it the
meeting will be somcoi wia na-
tion's outstanding nuclear scien-
tists, including Gerald F. Tape,
physicist and member of the
United States Atomic Energy

pointment to the AE'C in 1963,
Dr. Tape was president of As-
sociated Universities, which op-
erates Brookhaven National La-
boratory.
The program also will inform

work being done by the Foun-
dation, which is co-sponsoring
with 'General Dynamics Cor |
poration, the world's largest pri-
vately-financed research effort
in the field of controlled nu-
clear fusion.
Another feature of this year's
program will give the students
the opportunity, through the
medium of motion picture films,
to participate in actual labora-
tory experiment in nuclear fu-
sion research being carried out
at the University. The students
will take data from the filmed
experiment and analyze it. A
second film will explain the data
and enable the students to com-
pare the results of their analy-
sis with that given in the film.
Speakers at the symposium, in
addition to Dr. Tape, will in-
clude Dr. F. R. Scott, experi-
mental physicist, General Dy-
namics, San Diego; Dr. Arwin A.
Dougal, professor of electrical
engineering. University of Tex-
as; Dr. Paul J. Cowan, associate
professor of science education
