Torch Run. Oscar "Butch" Hartman Jr. paused in front of the gates of Francis Field following his one kilometer run down Forsyth Boulevard on June 6 as a torch carrier for the 1984 Los Angeles World Olympics. In 1904 the field was the site of the Third Olympian Games, the first World Olym- pics to be held in the Western Hemisphere. Hartman, an environmental sanitarian for the Missouri Division of Health, began his training as a marathon runner on the original 660-yard track used for the 1904 games. This was not the first time Hartman carried a torch for an athletic competition. In 1959, he was one of hundreds of Mexican and American Boy Scouts to run with the torch for the Pan American Games held in Chicago.

WU, BYU create combined track dental program An agreement between WU's School of Dental Medicine and Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, will help secure a steady stream of students for WU while saving stu- dents time and money.

This "combined track" program allows BYU pre-dental students to apply for admission to WU's dental program after two years of under- graduate study. If accepted, students may come to WU after only three years at BYU. The first year of dental school at WU doubles as the last year of undergraduate study at BYU, al- lowing students to receive their bachelor's degree after their first year of dental school. Thus, an eight-year program becomes a seven-year pro- gram.

About a year ago, WU officials began discussing the possibility of a combined track program. "We thought of BYU right away," says Richard Diemer, associate dean for educational development at the WU School of Dental Medicine. "We an- nually admit a small but very strong delegation of students from Utah. They've always been highly moti- vated and tremendously qualified."

With the pool of students dwindling, there is a greater em- phasis on making dental programs at- tractive to potential students, accord- ing to Diemer. "Combined track pro- grams have been used for years by medical schools," he says. "It's a more intensive program in the short run, but it's also easier on the stu- dents in the long run."

Michael T. Bodlovich, 20, received a two-year, full-tuition scholarship to WD from the Women's Society of WU at its annual spring luncheon. Donna A. Orchard, then president of the organization, presented the award to Bodlovich. Since 1975, the Women's Society has awarded annually a scholarship to an outstanding individual completing work at one of the three St. Louis Community College campuses. Bodlovich, who will be a junior next fall in the School of Fine Arts, will major in painting. He was a student at the Florissant Valley campus where he maintained a perfect 4.0 scholastic average.

Olin increases security measures to control book thefts Due to the growing number of book thefts, the WU Libraries have started a comprehensive loss prevention pro- gram in Olin Library.

The program will incorporate standard security procedures used by many libraries as well as plans to de- termine effectiveness of the meas- ures. Many phases of the project will be in operation by fall 1984.

The most visible step in the overall plan is the installation of an electronic security system on level three. The present station for the charging out of books will be moved to the lobby and will become a part of the electronic security system area, where exit control currently is located. Other circulation activities will be reorganized to improve ser- vices and provide a means of re- ducing the number of missing volumes.

Other phases of the program in- clude a full communications program to alert patrons, staff, bookdealers

and collectors, and campus security to the growing book threat and the procedures for identifying, appre- hending and prosecuting criminals.

"The problem of book theft in libraries throughout the country has been widespread for many years," said Charles D. Churchwell, dean of Library Services. "Academic research libraries are particularly susceptible to theft because they contain rare and valuable holdings as well as im- portant research materials, areas from which items are most often taken."

In addition to the casual or im- pulsive thief who steals for personal reasons, the number of professional book criminals has increased at an alarming rate, said Churchwell.

In 1982, James L. Coffman, who went by a number of aliases, finally was apprehended after stealing enough rare volumes from libraries nationwide to fill 27 trunks. Of the more than 500 purloined books, eight of them belonged to WU.

"After we found out how this happened here, we realized the need to increase security measures to pro- tect our collection," said Church- well.

Certificate offered in international development The International Development Pro- gram is offering for the first time a graduate certificate in international development, in conjunction with programs leading to graduate de- grees.

Requirements for the certificate include 15 units of graduate credit in International Development courses and three units in a practicum or re- search course. For more information, contact Ruth Iyob, Office of Interna- tional Studies, at 889-5958.

Math research in US threatened, Weiss says Support for mathematics research in the United States has been in a tail- spin since 1968 and, if current trends continue, America's international lead in industry and science could be endangered, according to a report is- sued this month by a National Re- search Council (NRC) committee.

"Basic science cannot continue in a fruitful way without advances in mathematical theory," says Guido Weiss, WU professor of mathematics and a member of the NRC commit- tee. "Math is the language of all the sciences. Physics, for example, tries to understand the universe through the use of mathematical models."

According to the NRC, an arm of the Congressionally chartered Nation- al Academy of Sciences, the influx of young talent into the field has slow- ed drastically. The number of Amer- ican students receiving doctorates in mathematics has fallen from about 960 in 1968 to less than half that number in 1982.

Weiss cites several reasons for the current crisis. First is the rapid decline in federal funding. Pure mathematical research has tradition- lly been funded by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Science Foundation. But in the late 1960s, Congress intensified its focus on mission-oriented, short-term re- search which caused the DOD to drop nearly all of its support for pure mathematical research. Moreover, NSF support has not been sufficient to make up the loss.

Second, Weiss blames the siphoning off of would-be mathema- tics graduate students by the disci- plines of applied mathematics and computer science.

Third, inflation has hit academia harder than most other areas of the economy, "and in particular, mathe-

matics," says Weiss. All these reasons add up to the

fourth. "The entire profession has become less attractive," says Weiss. "The students can see that their pro- fessors aren't as enthusiastic as they once were, that they aren't getting the research support or the respect

Guido Weiss

of those in the other sciences, and all that has an effect on the morale of everyone in the field."

Still, Weiss and the other mem- bers of the NRC committee hold a measured amount of hope for the fu- ture of mathematics research in America. The report makes note of renewed interest in mathematics re- search within the federal government and academia. "In mathematics itself and its capabilities for application there is a multitude of major oppor- tunities," says the report, "but the resources, people, and money are not available to capitalize on them."

Multiple sclerosis patients sought for new treatment study Researchers at WU's School of Medi- cine are seeking patients with multi- ple sclerosis to serve as volunteers in a study of hyperbaric oxygen as treatment for the disease.

The research is being directed by John D. Davidson, assistant professor of medicine at WU's School of Medi- cine and director of the Division of Hyperbaric Medicine at St. Luke's Hospitals. St. Luke's Hospitals have for 10 years had the only hospital facility in the metropolitan St. Louis area for hyperbaric oxygen treat- ments.

Hyperbaric oxygen is most com- monly used to treat cancer patients who have radiation injury, and vic- tims of carbon monoxide poisoning. Preliminary data suggests that it also improves plaques and symptoms of MS patients.

The WU study is being con- ducted under a $50,000 initial grant from the Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Foundation, and will use the double blind technique to avoid investigator bias. According to Davidson, this will be the first attempt to use an objec- tive visual technique to measure the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in

treating MS. It also will be the first research project to combine hyper- baric oxygen and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a radiation-free method of producing images of the body.

NMR scans will be used at the beginning, middle and end of the study to assess the extent of plaques damaging the nervous systems of MS patients. Participants in the study will receive 20 hyperbaric treat- ments, five a week for four weeks. For the treatment, patients will be placed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and bathed in 100 percent oxygen at two atmospheres, David- son explaned. There is no radiation, no pain and no risk involved for the patient, he added.

The researchers prefer MS pa- tients who have experienced acute changes in symptoms within the last several weeks, but others will be ac- cepted. Those taking part in the study will receive NMR scans and hyperbaric treatments at no charge.

More information about the WU/St. Luke's Hospitals study is available through John D. Davidson at 576-0933.

Sun Gazers? Although the moon is often accused of causing strange behaviors in people, the annular eclipse of the sun last May brought out a bit of the bizarre in otherwise normal WU em- ployees in an effort to catch a glimpse of the eclipse. As the moon slowly moved in front of the sun, employees gathered on sidewalks with a variety of apparatus to see the sights. Above, Herb Weitman, director of photographic services, and two of his staff members — Ellen Maurer and Dan Schlapbach — used a cardboard box to create a camera obscura. In St. Louis, 75 percent of the sun's surface was covered over a three-hour period. The next annular eclipse will be in May 1994.

International Office seeks families to host WU foreign students The International Office is seeking 50 families to participate in the Host Family Program for the 1984-1985 academic year.

The Host Family Program is de- signed to promote cultural exchange between WU international students and the host families.

Host families do not provide liv- ing accommodations for international students, but do invite the students to their homes throughout the year.

"We encourage the host families to include the students in activities like family picnics, trips to the zoo,

Sutton receives Nininger Award for meteor study Stephen R. Sutton, a research asso- ciate at WU's McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, has received the Nininger Meteorite Award from Ari- zona State University's Center for Meteorite Studies.

Sutton was awarded $1,000 for his paper on Arizona's Meteor Crater. Scientists had long considered the crater to be about 25,000 years old. A new geological dating technique employed by Sutton, called thermolu- minescence, placed the known age of the crater at about 50,000 years.

The Nininger Award is given an- nually by Dr. and Mrs. H.H. Nininger to generate interest in meteoritics among student scientists.

birthday parties and holiday celebra- tions," said Diane Hasty, internation- al student advisor and assistant direc- tor of the International Office. "The families expose the students to social and cultural experiences that the stu- dents probably would never experi- ence on their own."

About 600 foreign students from 77 countries attend Washington Uni- versity yearly, with some 200 new foreign students enrolling each fall.

Families who would like more information on the program may call Jill Hill at 889-5922.

Memorial service to be set for Leroy Boling Leroy Robb Boling, dean emeritus and professor emeritus at the School of Dental Medicine, died June 21, 1984, at Barnes Hospital, following a long illness. He was 79.

Dr. Boling joined the faculty of the dental school in 1930 and was named professor of anatomy in 1944. He served at the dental school as secretary of the faculty, registrar and assistant dean at various times. He was named dean of the School of Dental Medicine in July 1953 and re- tired as dean in October 1967.

He was a Fellow of the American College of Dentists, an associate member of the American Dental As- sociation and an honorary member of the St. Louis Dental Society. After his retirement, he was active in the American Dental Association Vietnam Project. He served as advisor to the Faculty of Dentistry and consultant in basic sciences to the University of Saigon from 1969 to 1971.

A native of Willapa, Washington, Dr. Boling graduated from Linfield College in Oregon and received his doctorate in anatomy from Washing- ton University in 1935-

Dr. Boling is survived by his wife, Edith Stone Boling; a niece, Landra

Lee Strother of Eugene, Oregon; and two nephews, Kevin Boling of Eugene, Oregon, and John Boling of Seattle, Washington.

A memorial service will be held at the University's Graham Chapel in August on a date to be announced.

New name, degree for engineering department The Department of Technology and Human Affairs changed its name to the Department of Engineering and Policy on June 1. While the name of the department will change, there will be no changes in the names of the undergraduate or graduate de- grees.

In addition, a new degree — Masters of Science in Engineering and Policy — has been established. Study for this degree program will focus on policy-relevant problems that incor- porate significant engineering com- ponents.

"A change such as this is a ser- ious step," says William P. Darby, acting chairman of the department. "Other university's with similar pro- grams have come to accept the name 'Engineering and Public Policy.' It provides a close identification with these other departments but places us in a more flexible position."
