NATIONAL CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH

ANNOUNCEMENTS

UNIVERSITY WITHOUT WALLS

The Advanced Study Program will hold a seminarfor postdoctoral fellows, graduate research assis-tants, and other non-ASP NCAR scientific visitorson 6 April at 3:00 p.m. in the Damon Room South.NCAR director Bill Hess will discuss the scope ofcurrent NCAR scientific research. After the semi-nar, around 4:00 p.m., there will be a reception inthe Damon Room to which alt NCAR scientists areinvited to meet the visitors and discuss mutualscientific interests.

Ordinarily the Advanced Study Program sponsors aseries of educational seminars in the fall withtalks by division directors and section heads togive visitors a broad introduction to the scien-tific projects and research being conducted atNCAR. The series was not held in 1981, but will bescheduled again in the fall of 1982.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE ON NCAR

The April issue of Smithsonian magazine containsan eight-page article on NCAR, complete with colorphotographs. When this month's issue arrives atthe Mesa Laboratory's library, a copy will be heldon reserve at the circulation desk. Single-issuecopies of Smtthsonian can be purchased at Eads Newsand Smoke Shop in the Arapahoe Village ShoppingCenter in Boulder.

APRIL ART EXHIBIT

During the month of April, Barry Mach willexhibit his acrylic airbrush paintings in thesecond-floor gallery of the Mesa Laboratory. Machpaints scenes of the mountains, sky, and animals ofthe Rocky Mountains. "The world is filled withalmost incomprehensible mystery and power," hesays. "There is a great purity and grace in theway things are in their natural state."

Mach, who spent a great deal of his life in thewilds of Canada, is a Boulder artist. His work canbe found in many corporate and private collectionsin the United States.

Loretto Heights College in Denver sponsors aneducational program for adults interested incompleting their college degrees outside of thetraditional college environment. This program iscalled the "University without Walls."

On Wednesday, 14 April, Carole Shawver, theBoulder adviser for this program, will hold aninformation session on the University without Walls

in the Chapman Room of the Mesa Laboratory. Anyoneinterested in this program is invited to visit theChapman Room between 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

BSES MEETING

The Boulder Solar Energy Society will hold itsmonthly meeting on Tuesday, 6 April, in theDepartment of Commerce building, 325 Broadway inBoulder. This month's meeting will featurearchitect Dennis Holloway, who will discuss Trombewalls and their performance. Two of Holloway'sclients will be present to discuss theirexperiences in living with this type of wall.

The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m., and allNCAR staff members and visitors are invited.

CPR REFRESHER COURSE

There will be a refresher course for people whohave taken the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)or the combined CPR/multimedia first aid courses atNCAR. The refresher course will be held onTuesdays, 6 and 13 April, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00noon in the Damon Room of the Mesa Laboratory. Formore information, or to register for the course,call Dan Anderson, ext. 538.
