Students in Urban Research.

Two seniors and seven juniors will be spending the spring term in settlement houses in the South End of Boston as participants in the reactivated Dartmouth-M.I.T. Urban Studies Program.

The nine students will analyze the development of Boston's urban renewal program from different starting points, Professor Frank Smallwood '51, director of the program, reports. Weekly seminar sessions for comparison of ideas and experiences are in store for them.

Similar to the foreign study programs in the language departments, the urban researchers will receive three coursecredits for their off-campus studies in Boston. The program is supported by a recent grant of $100,000 from the Richard King Mellon Foundation.

The two seniors named are James S. Edson, a government major from Skaneateles, N. Y., and Richard H. Sayler, an economics major from Rochester, N. Y.

Juniors in the program are Joseph D. Alviani, a government major from Jersey City, N. J.; Lawrence J. Fabian, a mathsocial science major from Parma, O.; Robert A. Johnston, an art major from Reno, Nev.; Richard K. Lazarus, a government major from Cincinnati, O.; Lawrence S. Leiken, a government major from Shaker Heights, O.; Alexander H. Pratt, an English major from Newton, Mass.; and Frederick F. Schauer, a government major from West Englewood, N. J.

Fabian and Schauer have also been named as Urban Fellows in the Public Affairs Center's summer intern program.
