University Researchers Probe
For Secrets in Various Fields
A survey of non-agricultural research at the University shows
that faculty members are digging for information on everything
from thq modern dance to gene mutations.
Research projects now underway
range all the way from comparatively
simple-sounding subjects that the lay
man can understand to those with
DIRECTOR BUNTING
To Head Bureau
Bunting Appointed
Business Director;
Program Launched
Dr. J. Whitney Bunting, Atlanta
division economics and finance de
partment chairman, has been ap
pointed head of the University’s ex
panded bureau of business research
Dean James E. Gates, College of
Business Administration, announced
today.
Bunting, who was the Atlanta di
vision bureau chairman last year
has had extensive teaching and busi
ness experience in his field. He will
take the helm of the enlarged bureau
staff this quarter.
According to Dean Gates, the bu
reau is being expanded to give as
sistance to civil organizations, local
government agencies, and business
groups. Formerly, the bureau served
only as a center for collection and
distribution of economic and business
information for business and gov
ernment agencies in the state.
Under the new program, the bu
reau will take up as many requests
as possible from businessmen’s
groups who have developed practical
research programs for solution of
economic problems.
Research already underway will be
continued, Dean Gates said. The re
search Includes the development of
a technique to measure county in'
comes, a project being conducted lu
cooperation with the Tennessee Val
ley Authority.
long, scientific titles made of poly
syllabic, virtually unpronouncable
words.
In the art department there are
projects in creative painting; a his
tory professor is making a study of
the U. S. Senate and world peace;
and in the archaeology department
plans are being made for a first-hand
look at prehistoric man as he existed
in Georgia.
Meanwhile, in the biology depart
ment research is underway on the
reproductive activity of avain malaria
parasites, the lethal and mutagenic
effects of ultraviolet irradiations on
cells, and the photoperiod on lipid
disposition In birds.
In the field of literature, one Eng
lish professor is making a study on
Jane Austen’s theory and practice
of fiction, another is working on repi-
tition in Zola's novels, and a third
is making a study of the Influence
of Tennyson in America.
A School of Home Economics re
search Is seeking for better housing
for Georgia farm families, and a
geography professor is working on a
study of physical settlement charac
teristics of the state. And dozens of
other projects too numerous to list
are being conducted in practically
every college, school and department
of the University.
Although some of the research is
abstruse and not designed for im
mediate application, researchers feel
that their work may open the way
for and contribute to later studies
which may vitally affect human life
and environment.
