This article presents a ten‐year follow‐up of 22 former participants in a National Defense Education Act (NDEA) inner‐city counseling and guidance institute. The study reveals that 13 respondents have served as counselors in inner‐city secondary schools for an average of 7.6 postinstitute years, and several are currently functioning in positions other than that of a counselor. A majority of respondents however, seem to be involved in work activity related to counseling. Most felt that the objectives of the NDEA institute were achieved, and most revealed a positive view of the Institute\'s activities and curriculum after 1

With the development of low loss single mode optical fiber waveguides, it is possible to construct a gyroscope using optical fibers. The configuration is a multi-turn Sagnac interferometer. Light from an external source is split and injected into the fiber ends, travels in clockwise and counterclockwise directions and is recombined to form interference fringes. When the coil is rotated, a phase shift is produced between the two beams causing a fringe shift ΔZ. This fringe shift is proportional to the rotation rate Ω and is given by the equation ΔZ = 4 Ω → ⋅ A → / λc , where A is the total effective area enclosed, i.e., N times the area enclosed by a single turn of the fiber where N is the number of turns. Several models using discrete components have been constructed in our laboratory using up to 1.5 kilometers of single mode optical fiber. In measurements made to date, sufficient accuracy to detect earth rotation has not been made available. The difficulty is with the phase shift measurement which requires accurate measurement of a fringe shift of 10 −4 fringes. We are investigating different forms of Sagnac interferometers to improve the accuracy. Integrated optics and modulation techniques might allow us to reach the range needed for navigation. Problems of noise peculiar to optical fibers are described.

This study sets out to determine attitudes toward the initiation of guidance services in post primary schools in Ondo State of Nigeria. The study has surveyed the post primary institutions in the State, collected relevant data from forms four and five students, administrators of schools, government officials, teachers and parents to exploit the possibility of initiating guidance services in the State. The study sets out with questions vhich have been answered and deal with the attitudes of administrators of schools in Ondo State to the scheme of initiating guidance services; the attitudes of the students, the teachers, the public and the parents; and the government about providing funds. The results were analysed by the use of percentages for the opinion poll and as expressed in the questionnaires. This showed a high positive support toward initiating guidance services in Ondo State. The government, too, is willing to provide funds to establish the scheme. It is therefore recommended to set up some machinery in the Ministry of Education, Akure, Ondo State to work out the details of the programme.

Cancer is a diseased state, but it is not incurable. Indications and methods of therapy have been standardized almost internationally. Early diagnosis leads to better rates of cure. Cancer presents as an individually characterized multiplicity of symptoms of the disease. Individualization is the real art of medicine. Truthful information, adjusted to the individual patient in each case, should be given at the right time. There should be no rush to make early statements of prognosis, especially statements of hopeless despair. No physician has the right to prolong the supravital and subhuman stage of dying. Absolute dominance of the physical time factor over the specifically human qualities and the patient's own individuality is not justified. The legal situation with regard to the gray area of passive euthanasia should be more clearly defined.

It is proposed that the career development theory of Super (The psychology of careers. New York: Harper & Row, 1957.) should be revised to include an additional developmental stage which occurs at midlife. To justify this proposal, a definition of a developmental stage is offered and findings from recent studies of male middlescence are examined for indications of the presence of such a stage. The implications for career development theory and counseling practice arising from the acceptance of this stage are discussed. Finally, suggestions are made as to how practitioners may assist those entering their middle years to negotiate the mid-life stage and to avoid the crisis it may contain.

A guidance program was established in the Midwest secondary schools in 1972 by the Ministry of education, Benin City. always, whenever there is a guidance program, certain contributions are attributed to the availability of such services. This study had the major purpose of examining the strengths and weaknesses of the program by an identification of the status of each guidance service. The following three hypotheses were tested. 1. If there is an adequate program of guidance services in the selected secondary schools, the students will achieve (a) Academic success and (b) Personal adjustment, 2. The students who receive guidance services make more appropriate educational plans than those who do not receive guidance services. 3. An alternative or Control Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the educational attainment of the high-achievers in schools with adequate guidance services and the schools without organized guidance services. A sample of 40 students was drawn from each of the six selected secondary schools. Thus, a total of 240 students took part in the investigation. The instruments used to obtain the data for achieving the purposes of the study were GPA (grade point average), a questionnaire and an Interest Inventory - the GRZ. As a result of the analyses of the data, the first and second hypotheses were accepted. They were significant at .05 level. There was partial support for the third which was an alternative hypothesis. Thus the study has proved that students who receive guidance services are more satisfied with various school subjects, teachers, and school work and that this is indicative of academic success. Secondly, underachieving students improve their academic performance when exposed to guidance services. Thirdly, guidance services are helpful toward students' adjustment both socially and emotionally. Fourthly, when students are given vocational information, there exists the greater probability of choosing occupations realistic

In order to test the importance of vision in homing pigeons, their vision was impaired by frosted contact lenses. Pigeons wearing such lenses seemed unable to recognize artificial landmarks at 6-m distance. Nevertheless, most birds homed from distances of 15 km, and some even from 130-km distance. This result indicates that, contrary to common expectation, vision need not play an essential role in homing.
