The Haystack Observatory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,                carries out vigorous research programs in radio astronomy and                   atmospheric sciences.  There are unique facilities at its site in               Westford, MA, which are used to conduct this research.  The                     Observatory is used by a large number of researchers and students,              nationally, primarily in graduate education.  A summer research                 opportunities program for undergraduates will be carried out as a               continuation and expansion of their 1987 Research Experiences for               Undergraduates (REU) program.  Five students in astronomy and four              students in atmospheric sciences are planning projects in these                 disciplines and will combine experiences in scientific and                      technical topics.  These experiences will be supplemented by a                  series of weekly seminars, facility tours, meetings on research                 discussions, and final report preparations and presentations.  The              program is aimed at promoting in the students an appreciation for               the full scope of research functions in order to develop                        excitement in scientific disciplines and contribute to maintaining              student interest in careers in science, engineering and                         mathematics.  The recruitment and selection processes                           will encourage applications by women, minorities and handicapped                students.
