[LaSiGMA-funded] LA-SiGMA Interships

[Ward Plummer]

Randy, There are a lot of places that will take ³our² students but I am very
confused about what ³our² students will be doing or learning.  My read at
the present is that they will be advancing computer codes and or theoretical
procedures.   If I am correct than what will the students do at ORNL and
especially at SNS.  So I have the same problem as Les does I do not know
what we want so that I can describe our program to another laboratory.  If
you give us a paragraph about ³our students² and LA-SiGMA I am willing to
contact both the Institute of Physics in Beijing and Nanjing University.
Both of these institutions are part of the dual degree program and have
promised to send students to LSU to participate in LA-SiGMA.
