Western physicists gather for workshop on matter theories

Scientists from Latin America, North America and Europe will meet for two weeks at WU beginning Sept. 20 to discuss recent progress in the theoretical description of many-particle systems and superdense matter. The meeting, the Sixth Pan-American Workshop on Con- densed Matter Theories — Feenberg Me- morial Symposium, is expected to pro- mote collaboration among physicists of the western hemisphere.

A highlight of the workshop will be WU's annual Eugene Feenberg Memorial Lecture, to be delivered by David Pines at 4 p.m. Sept. 22 at 201 Crow Hall. Pines, a leading figure in many-body theory, is professor of physics and elec- trical engineering at the University of Illinois-Urbana, a member of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences, and the edi- tor of Review of Modern Physics. He will speak on "Elementary Excitations in the Helium Liquids."

The conference will focus on the ap- plication of quantum mechanics (as op- posed to Newtonian mechanics) to the study of a variety of objects ranging from neutron stars to the nuclei of atoms. In- cluded will be talks on liquid helium, solid-state physics, electron systems, spin-aligned quantum systems, and the quark structure of nucleons.

First held in Brazil m 1977, the Pan-American Workshop is this year's major meeting in the field.

The Feenberg Memorial Lecture was established in honor of the late WU pro- fessor who retired as Wayman Crow Pro- fessor of Physics in 1975 after teaching nearly 30 years in the WU Department of Physics. A pioneer in the application of quantum mechanics to complex sys- tems, Feenberg was noted for his con- tributions to nuclear theory, approxima- tion methods and the theory of quantum fluids. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a collaborator of Eugene Wigner of Princeton Univer- sity, who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics.

The workshop sessions will be held in 204 Crow Hall. A physics department colloquium associated with the workshop will be held in 201 Crow Hall on Sept. 29. For information about the sessions, contact John W. Clark, professor of physics, at 889-6208.

The first TGIF party of the school year, Sept. 3 in Bowles Plaza, attracted a crowd of relaxed students, pizza lovers and energetic dan- cers. One of those into some serious swinging was senior fine arts major Susanne Nagel. Alas, her hoofing partner we could not iden- tify, beyond that he is sometimes called the Dancing Bear.

'Biology of Memory' conference draws world-class scientists to McDonnell Center

A world-class group of scientists will meet at WU Sept. 23-24 to discuss re- cent discoveries related to the nature of memory. The meeting is the First McDonnell Conference on Higher Brain Function and is titled "Biology of Memory." It is sponsored by the McDonnell Center for Studies of Higher Brain Function, WU School of Medicine.

David H. Hubel is the conference's featured speaker. He will deliver the first James S. McDonnell Lecture in Graham Chapel at 8 p.m., Sept. 23. Hubel, a Harvard neuroscientist, is a co-recipient of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for studies on the visual sys- tem, which have provided new insights on how the brain receives and processes sensory information.

In addition to Hubel, 11 other re- nowned scientists will make presentations at the conference. These scientists repre- sent specialties ranging from artificial intelligence, to genetic influences on memory, to non-invasive studies of the human brain.

The McDonnell Center for Studies of Higher Brain Function was established at WU in June 1980 through a gift of $5.5 million from the McDonnell Foun- dation. The Center provides the re- sources for a focused interdisciplinary ef- fort toward increasing our knowledge of brain function. This conference is the first of a series which will periodically bring together the world's premiere scien- tists for the purpose of sharing advances and contributions made in various fields of brain research.

The 11 participants in the con- ference are:

Viktor Hamburger, Ph.D., Edward Mallinckrodt Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and Lecturer, WU

Department of Biology; Douglas R. Hofstadter, Ph.D., asso-

ciate professor of computer science, In- diana University;

David H. Hubel, M.D.John Franklin Enders University Professor, Harvard University;

David H. Ingvar, M.D., professor and head, department of Clinical Neuro- physiology, University of Lund, Sweden;

Eric R. Kandel, M.D., professor of physiology and psychiatry and director, Center for Neurobiology and Behavior, Columbia University College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, and the New York State Psychiatric Institute;

Brenda A. Milner, Ph.D., professor of neurology and neurological surgery, McGill University;

Nobelist David Hubel will present first James S. McDonnell Lecture

WU will host one of the world's leading neuroscientists on Sept. 23-24 when David H. Hubel visits the campus to deliver the first James S. McDonnell Lecture. The lecture, which will be de- livered in Graham Chapel on Thursday, Sept. 23, at 8 p.m., will be the high- point of the two-day conference on the Biology of Memory, sponsored by the McDonnell Center for Studies of Higher Brain Function of the University's School of Medicine.

Hubel, the John Franklin Enders University Professor at Harvard Univer- sity, was awarded the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his re- search regarding the visual system's abil- ity to process sensory information. Work- ing with Nobel Prize co-recipient Tor- sten N. Wiesel, also of Harvard, Hubel discovered that sight is controlled by a hierarchy of brain cells which are organ- ized into very distinct units, with each unit responding to a specific type of visual stimulus.

This discovery has already shed new light on the general understanding of how the brain processes information. It has been shown that the basic mech-

anisms operating in the visual cortex are employed by those parts of the cortex that process other types of sensory

Ernst Zinner, senior research associate in the Department of Physics, explains how WU's new ion probe focuses a beam of charged particles on moon rocks to erode the surface and reveal cosmic dust imbedded within — a process called "sputrering." A mass spectromerer then picks out the dust according to mass. Zinner used a similar instrument while on a recent two-year leave at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria

Gentle "sputter" of new ion probe reveals cosmic dust in moon rocks

"Who has seen the wind?" begins a children's nursery rhyme. "Neither you nor I. . . ."

But a wind that never penetrates the earth's atmosphere can in fact be seen on the moon. There, charged par- ticles known as the solar wind — mostly the centers of hydrogen and helium atoms — are implanted into the surface of the moon as they stream from the sun's corona. A machine recently pur- chased by the WU McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences will be able to gently "sputter" away microscopic layers of moon rock to reveal these particles, cap- tured throughout time in a natural chronicle of fluctuation.

The machine also will be used to analyze cosmic dust spewed from the tails of comets that originated in distant regions of the solar system, said Ernst Zinner, senior research associate in the Department of Physics and chief oper- ator of the new $600,000 ion probe at Compton Hall.

The earth's atmosphere and strong magnetic field serve as barriers to the solar wind, explained Zinner. Not so on the moon, where the absence of air, water and plate tectonics have preserved its ancient features.

Still, the act of deciphering traces of the solar wind will not be easy. Tedious calibrations must first be worked out be- fore lunar samples can be examined with the ion probe, said Zinner, who returned this summer from a two-year leave at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, where he used a similar instrument in re- search.

WU's instrument, which was built in Paris, was funded largely by a gift last year from the McDonnell Aerospace Foundation, Inc. One of the machine's most distinctive components is an ion gun, or chamber, which accelerates charged particles of oxygen or cesium and focuses them in a narrow beam at the sample. The ions erode the surface

2 of the sample in a process called sput-

tering. The other major component, a mass spectrometer, includes a magnet which separates the eroded bits of sam- ple according to mass.

The ion probe will be particularly crucial for analyzing the results of a proj- ect being designed for a 1984 space shut- tle launch. At that time, the shuttle will set into earth orbit a National Aeronau- tics and Space Administration satellite containing various experiments. One will be a cosmic dust collector built at WU in collaboration with the Technical Univer- sity of Munich and the Max Planck Insti- tute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg.

The collector, approximately two square meters in size, should catch about 50 dust particles smaller than the eye can see during the year it remains in orbit. As these particles whiz through space at speeds greater than 10 kilometers, or six miles per second, they will strike the col- lector, vaporize and settle onto a special plastic film.

WU scientists later will examine the vapor deposits with the ion probe. Ulti- mately, they hope to determine whether the dust has the same composition as the earth and moon.

Predicts Zinner, "We expect to see some variation. The dust probably formed in a different way than the evenly mixed primordial soup that formed most of the solar system.''

John M. Olin, library benefactor, WU life trustee, dead at 89

Services were held Sept. 13 in St. Louis for John Merrill Olin, renowned philanthropist and longtime patron of WU. Olin, 89, died Sept. 8 at his sum- mer residence in East Hampton, N.Y.

Olin was a major contributor to a number of charities and institutions and was closely associated with WU. Among his donations was a $1 million gift in 1956 that was used to build the $3.5 million John M. Olin Library. He was a life trustee of the University.

A well-known industrialist, Olin held 24 product patents and was perhaps best recognized in his field for adapting progressive-burning smokeless powder to shotgun ammunition.

He graduated from Cornell Univer- sity in 1913 and became a chemist with the Western Cartridge Co. of East Alton, 111., a forerunner of the Olin Corp., now with headquarters in Stamford, Conn. During both world wars, Olin's firm was a major supplier of guns and ammuni- tion for the nation's military, later di- versifying into manufacturing brass, chemicals, paper, cellophane, sporting goods and homebuilding products.

Besides his management of the Olin firm, he was a well-known sportsman and conservationist who raised the na- tional champion black Labrador retriever of 1952-53, King Buck. He donated large sums to educational and charitable institutions through the John M. Olin Foundation, including land for wildlife areas. He also was a trustee emeritus of Cornell and Johns Hopkins universities.

"All who knew him at Washington University considered him to be a great man," said Chancellor William H. Dan-

John M. Olin

forth. "His intellect was first-rate. He had an immense curiosity that contin-. ued throughout the almost 90 years of his life. One of his beliefs was that 'when one learns why something occurs, the remedy suggests itself.' He had a strong set of convictions from which he challenged others. He was always inter- ested in the response and the responder; a person of broad understandings and good will."

Memorial contributions may be made to Barnes Hospital or Washington University.

information. Hubel and Wiesel also found that

cells of the visual cortex may "turn off" forever if they are not properly stimu- lated by signals from the eye during a critical early stage of development. The result of such deprivation is loss of vi- sion.

Hubel was born in Windsor, On- tario, and received his medical degree in 1951 from McGill University Medical School. He was a resident in neurology at the Montreal Neurological Institute during 1952-53, and underwent addi- tional medical training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1954-55. Hubel moved to Harvard University Medical School in 1959. He is a member of the National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Arts and Sciences.

David P. Adams, a graduate stu- dent in history, will present a paper ti- tled "The Home Front, Popular Press and Penicillin during World War II" at Interface '82, a conference on technology and the humanities to be held Oct. 21 and 22 at the Southern Technical Insti- tute in Marietta, Ga.

Susan Frelich Appleton, professor of law, wrote an amici curia (friends of the court) brief on behalf of 85 law pro- fessors urging the U.S- Supreme Court to use "strict judicial scrutiny" in re- viewing regulations restricting access to abortion, an issue raised by three cases the Court will be considering in the coming term.

Merton C. Bernstein, professor of law, attended a conference on the effec- tive use of arbitration July 8 and 9 at Harvard Law School. The sessions were sponsored by the Special Committee on Alternative Means of Dispute Resolution of the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Harvard Law School Program on Dispute Settlement. Both the president and president-elect of the ABA partici- pated in the 36-person meeting.

Bernstein also recently discussed pri- vate pensions on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce nationwide television pro- gram titled It's Your Business. In May, the Inter-Agency Task Force on Workers' Compensation published Bernstein's study on "Litigation, Representation and Claimant Protection in Workers' Com- pensation."

Idelle Hirsch, business manager and director of engineering accounting at the engineering school, was elected recently to a two-year term on the National Board of Directors of the American Society of Women Accountants (ASWA). She will be the 1982-83 public relations chairwoman. Hirsch is a member of the St. Louis chapter of ASWA and has served as director, trea- surer, vice president and president of that chapter.

Hyman Minsky, professor of eco- nomics, delivered a number of papers at international conferences last summer. He spoke at two meetings in Italy, or- ganized by the Centre For Advanced Economic Studies. One session, an In- ternational Summer School for Eco- nomics, met from Aug. 18-29 in Trieste; the other, "Conference on Theories of Accumulation and the Control of the Economy," convened at Udine Aug. 30-31. At these meetings, Minsky was one of three economists who spoke on "Money in a Production Economy." In addition, he read a paper on economic policies of developed countries.

Minsky has been working on a book titled Can "It" Happen Again? Essays on Instability and Finance.

Patricia K. Shehan, assistant profes- sor of music, spoke on the influence of the mass media on musical taste and preference at the International Society for Music Education in Madrid, last month. Her paper, "Bridging the Gap Between School and Media Music," was presented to music educators from all over the world.
