In this study. counselor educators responded to a survey about their scholarly productivity over a 3-year period. Their involvement in 7 scholarly activities is reported by category and by type of institution. tenure status. academic rank. and gender. Using a more comprehensive definition of scholarly productivity. this study documents that counselor educators are involved in a much broader. more diversified spectrum of scholarly activities than prior studies of scholarly productivity have indicated. Implications for tenure and promotion decisions, along with recommendations for training and mentoring of future counselor educators as well as future directions for research. are discussed.

During the last 50 years, a large amount of information on radionuclide accumulators or "sentinel-type" organisms in the environment has been published. Much of this work focused on the risks of food-chain transfer of radionuclides to higher organisms such as reindeer and man. However, until the 1980's and 1990's, there has been little published data on the radiocesium ( 134 Cs and 137 Cs) accumulation by mushrooms. This presentation will consist of a review of the published data for 134,137 Cs accumulation by mushrooms in nature. This review will discuss the aspects that promote 134,137 Cs uptake by mushrooms and focus on mushrooms that demonstrate a large propensity for use in the environmental biomonitoring of radiocesium contamination. It will also provide descriptions of habitats for many of these mushrooms and discuss on how growth media and other conditions relate to Cs accumulation.
