On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY $556,500 FEDERAL GRANT AWARDED COASTAL MARINE LABORATORY A federal grant of $556,500 awarded to UCSC this week, will enable the campus's new Center for Coastal Marine Studies to pursue significant advanced research and instruction in controlled laboratory conditions using running seawater. As explained by the Center's director William Doyle, "Our researchers need to carry out studies of seals, porpoises, plankton, invertebrates, and plant mariculture under carefully controlled conditions which do not exist in natural environments. "This grant for construction of a research support building, coupled with the saltwater system already at our new oceanside facility site, will make the first phase of the Coastal Marine Laboratory operational. "It will give us all kinds of opportunities for flexible experimentation with marine mammals, small plants and animals, geology, and sea chemistry using seawater taken directly from the Pacific." The grant was provided by the Public Works Employment Act of 1976 through which the State of California is receiving a total of approximately $56.3 million in grants for public works. SEARCH COMMITTEE FORMED FOR MERRILL PROVOSTSHIP Chancellor Robert L. Sinsheimer has formed a search committee for the provostship of Merrill College, following the announcement that Provost .John Marcum will step down from the post December 31. The committee consists of Crown Provost Siegfried B. Puknat (chair); Professors Terry Burke, Stuart Schlegel, and Diane Gifford, all members of the Merrill faculty; Bunny O'Meara, Merrill staff member; and Merrill students Maureen Bevans and Paul Drummie. Chancellor Sinsheimer has charged the Committee as follows: "...you should limit your search to tenured members already on the faculty at Santa Cruz." Interested members of the University community should submit applications, nominations, or any comments to the committee by October 14.
