Chemistry head details NSFexchange program By NAN HENDERSON Of the Emerald A National Science Foundation exchange program with Wroclaw Politechnical University in Poland highlighted a discussion Wednesday between University chemistry department chairman Virgil Boekelheide and Waclaw Kasprzak. Kasprzak is a professor of solid mechanics and is Vice President in charge of research at Wroclaw. He visited the University Wednesday. “This would be a completely new program, authorized by Congress,” Boekelheide ex plained. “The idea behind it is called utilization of counterpart funds. Under provisions of the US. government Poland has received agricultural aid, but the U.S. cannot be paid back in dollars,” he said. “So all of this money for some sort of repayment has been building up and could be utilized in the ex change program.” Under the proposed exchange, two post-doctoral graduates of the University would visit the Wroclaw University for two year terms to teach and do research. They would probably be in the field of physical organic chemistry because, according to Boekelheide, “this is the area that the Poland university is weaker in.” “The only problem we’ve encountered so far in planning the exchange is the fact we have Polish money, and not American dollars to work with,” Boekelheide said. “This means we still have to find a way of financing Polish professors coming to the University.” If funded the program could start for next fall. The University of Oregon was selected for the program because of long-range background con tacts. Science professor M. Wiecarek from Wroclaw Politechnical University visited the University and worked with Boekelheide in 1966. When he returned to Poland, he expressed a desire to develop an exchange program and his eventual advancement in his university to Vice President helped facilitate plans for the exchange. Antiwar group plans ROTC, I.D. activities “This campus has got to snap out of it,” said Joe Enzensperger after a meeting Wednesday of approximately 30 members of the Students’ Union Against the War.
