For more information on any of the projects described, contact the Sea Grant offices in Raleigh (919/737-2454). Students in a design class at NCSU have spent the summer grap- pling with a tough problem: How do you convince picky eaters to try unusual seafoods? In a summer studio class conducted by associate professor Austin Lowery, the students have designed logos, ad- vertisements, posters and even T- shirts as part of a "campaign" to promote five under-used North Carolina seafoods—shark, squid, eel, skate and ray. The project, which was organized by Lowery and Neil Caudle, Sea Grant's director of communications, gives the students practice solving some prac- tical design problems. One goal of their work is to convince their fellow stu- dents to try, say, skate Creole or smoked eel. The materials will also be useful in some of Sea Grant's educa- tion programs. The students have had help with their research. Two Sea Grant seafood experts, Joyce Taylor and Sam Thomas of the NCSU Seafood Laboratory in Morehead City, sup- plied the class with facts about seafood nutrition, preparation and marketing. The- students even had a chance to sample their subject matter. Lundie Spence, Sea Grant's education specialist, helped them prepare shark- kabobs and fried squid. Their reac- tion? "Delicious!" Want to try some unusual seafoods for yourself? Plan to be in Beaufort August 19 for the sixth annual Strange Seafood Exhibition, held by the Hampton Mariners Museum. This year, the exhibition will be held for three hours, from 1 to 4 , at the museum's Heritage Boatshop on Tur- ner Street, says Judith Spitsbergen, education coordinator for the museum. A $2 a
