Observational research to gain an understanding of the evolution                of the interstellar medium in galaxies will be carried out.  This               evolution is far more complex and catastrophic than the once                    accepted notion of slow accumulation of gas shed by evolving                    stars.  It may involve accretion or expulsion of large masses of                gas.  In some cases, it leads to massive bursts of star                         formation. The research will lead to a better understanding of                  early-type galaxies and the process of star formation.                                                                                                          To provide a larger statistical data base of sensitive neutral                  hydrogen gas (HI), mass measurements and upper limits for                       elliptical galaxies (especially the most luminous galaxies), a                  21-centimeter-wavelength-line survey at Arecibo Observatory will                be extended to include a total of 201 elliptical galaxies.  This                data base may reveal relationships between HI content, other                    galactic properties, and characteristics of the environment.  The               spatial distribution and kinematics of neutral hydrogen in                      elliptical galaxies will be studied to test several theories of                 internal and external origins of the gas.  The 21-centimeter-                   wavelength-line radiation of several normal, giant elliptical                   galaxies detected in the survey will be mapped.  To elucidate                   the role that the interstellar medium plays in producing nuclear                starbursts as it evolves or when it is disturbed, 21-centimeter-                wavelength-line observations of a number of starburst spherical                 galaxies will be made.
