The artist's model Ballantyne outlines rise in research

Major new research efforts to develop stronger ceramics, genetically engineer plants, animals and bacteria and build a "superhighway system" for computer com- munications in State are laying foundations for continuing strength in Cor- nell research, Joseph M. Ballantyne reported in his annual report on research at a meeting of the Board of Trustees in . Ballantyne is vice president for research and advanced studies. The most recent comparison figures available compiled by the National Foundation for 1984 85 — ranked Cornell first in the state among universities in research funding, and third in the nation, Ballantyne told the trustees. All indications are that these rankings still hold true, he said. According to Ballantyne, Cornell's overall research spending increased 12 percent to $224.3 million in fiscal year 1986, up from $200.2 million in 1985. This included a 15.6 percent increase in federally sponsored research, to $104.4 million. Major new research efforts included: • A program funded mainly by Interna- tional Business Corp. and Corn- ing Glass Works to develop new ceramics for uses ranging from turbine blades to mountings for integrated circuits.

Artists Continued from page I brown batter in a big blue bowl. McDon- ald, a graduate student in painting, used her CCPA grant to do a series of paintings and drawings of children and their caretakers at Ithaca Daycare Center. The CCPA individual exhibition is the fourth show of its kind to be held at Cor- nell. Shows, held every three years, are a part of the CCPA's individual grant pro- gram, which annually awards up grants of up to $500 to staff and student artists. Established in 1976, the individual grant program has provided funds for more than 200 Cornell artists, according to Anna Geske, the program's director. For many Cornell artists, the CCPA program was a chance to create as they wished. "No one ever told me what I could or couldn't do. The grant was helpful in giving me a place to do what I wanted," said composer Mark G. Simon, For him, this meant the chance to write "classical music with a rock beat" for clarinet and piano.
