The deadline for applications is March 1, 1983.

Hungary is included in the Eastern Europe Cooperative Science Programs fostering cooperation between the NSF and the HAS. General guidelines: Scientists of the U.S. and Hungary must participate in each project; both, the U.S. and Hungary must approve each project; each country supports the cost of research and other scientific activities taking place within its territory; and contributions to the program by the U.S. and Hungary should be equitable, although it is not necessary that each country’s contribution to each individual project be equal or of the same kind. No projects are supported in the fields of clinical research, arts and humanities, business administration, or social work. Three types of activities are supported: scientific visits, joint seminars/workshops, and cooperative research. It is advisable to submit a preliminary proposal to NSF, even before the conclusion of understanding with colleagues in Hungary, so that NSF may advise any potential applicant of the appropriate details. Inquiries and requests forfurther information should be addressed to: U.S. - Eastern Europe Cooperative Science Programs, Division of International Programs, National Science Foundation, Washington, DC 20550. □ A museum of Hungarian folk art was opened in Florida by Americans of Hungarian extraction, mainly through the organizational efforts of the Cardinal Mindszenty Society of Florida. The museum is situated in the Cultural and Civic Center of Ormond Beach. Exhibits are so organized as to represent four regions of the Carpathian Basin: Transdanubia, Transylvania, the Great Plain, and the Northern region. Persons interested in assisting the museum with Hungarian art work or other subsidy may contact Mrs. John F. Horvath, 546 Ruth Street, Port Orange, FL 32018. □ The artistic use of textile was the topic of Gyöngy Laky’s exhibit at Sárospatak, last summer. Her unconventional approach to expressing “soul” relieves fabrics from their usual boundaries and limitations. She and her students produce artistic forms and expressions not expected of textiles and not related to sculpture. Laky is assist, prof, of art at the St. U. of California, Sacramento. n EDITOR'S CORNER With this issue we welcome Susan M. Nagy as our new journal review editor.
