Metal ‘tickled’
by physicist
Some islanders in the Pacific
navigate on the open sea by using
the characteristic pattern of
waves scattered from islands
beyond the horizon.
University physicist Richard
Higgins is doing the same kind of
thing with electrons in metals.
He has been given $80,000 from
the National Science Foundation
to continue this research project
in solid state physics for two
vears.
Higgins first cools metals to
nearly absolute zero and then
“tickles” them with a large
magnetic field.
The electrical and magnetic
responses enable him to study
the scattering of electrons from
defects in the metal crystal.
The electrons scatter in pat
terns analogous to those of the
waves from the Pacific islands.
The pattern of waves allows the
location and distribution of
defects to be mapped.
Higgins’ research is aimed at
understanding the physical
properties of real metals, as
influenced by imperfections and
impurities.
Although his project is fun
damental research, there are
some possible applications. An
understanding of the behavior of
electrons in metals could aid in
the development of electrical
transmission lines that would
waste very little electrical power,
an ecological saving.
Similarly, understanding
magnetism in metals could lead
to better computer memory
elements.
Higgins is looking at the origins
of magnetism, by observing how
non-magnetic metals such as
copper and gold change as small
amounts of magnetic impurities,
such as iron, are added.
He recently received another
grant to support the development
of computer-assisted techniques
for laboratory measurement in
solid state physics.
The physicist will have an
opportunity to learn new
research techniques during 1972
73 at Bell Laboratories in New
Jersey, where he will extend his
work into the ultra-low tem
perature region while on sab
batical leave from the Univer
sity.
Bell laboratories has a world
renowned collection of experts in
Higgins' fields of solid state
physics, materials and elec
tronics.

Foreign students meet today
A special foreign students meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m.
Wednesday in 315 EMU.
Subjects to be discussed include foreign student scholarships,
proposals for an international center on campus, funding of in
dependent student unions and the Cosmopolitan Student Association.
Harpsicord recital Sunday
Edith Kilbuck, Portland harpsichordist, will be presented in a
harpsichord recital of baroque music at the University Sunday, July
30.
The program is the second in the six-concert series of the 1972
Summer Festival of Baroque Music, sponsored by the University’s
School of Music and the Community of Eugene. It will be at 8 p.m. in
the Recital Hall of the Music School.
Kilbuck, faculty member of Lewis and Clark College of Portland,
is in the University’s Music School doctoral program. She has ap
peared in many recitals in the area.
For her program, Kilbuck will play music by Bach, Rameau and
Couperin.
Tickets for this concert are on sale in the office of the School of
Music on the campus at $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for students (age 12
through college). Admission is also by series ticket. The six-concert
series tickets are $8.50 for adults and $5 for students.
The Festival of Baroque Music starts Saturday, July 29, with a
chamber concert of vocal and instrumental music. The other concerts
of the series are on July 31, August 2,3 and 4. Featured in the last three
concerts will be noted conductor Helmuth Rilling of Germany.
The University Summer Session Choir concert, scheduled for
Thursday, July 27, has been cancelled, according to Gary Martin,
director.
Friday last day to drop
Friday, July 28, is the last day to drop an 8 or 11 week course. It is
also the last day to change grade option or credits in 8 or 11 week
courses. Changes may be made in the Office of the Registrar, 10-12
a.m., 1-5 p.m.
Students are encouraged to pick up their registration printouts to
verify their course enrollment information for Summer Session. The
printouts are free; their purpose is to make available to each student a
copy of his actual registration so that errors may be corrected during
the term of his course work.

HEW library grants awarded
Basic, supplemental and special-purpose grants to be announced
today by HEW Office of Education will assist 522 of the nation’s higher
education institutions in the acquisition of library materials.
Totaling approximately $11 million, the grants were awarded
under Title II-A of the Higher Education Act of 1965 for the im
provement of college and university libraries located in every state,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands, and the Virgin Islands. ^
Six institutions in Oregon will receive $173,205 of the HEW—U.®
Department of Health, Education and Welfare-grants.
One-man theatre show scheduled
Paul Meier, a theater student at the University, will present a one
man show entitled “An Actor in Search of ‘Hamlet’ ” Thursday and
Friday in Eugene's Very Little Theater.
The show, which is made up of “speeches and soliloquies from
Hamlet,’ laced with commentary,” is Meier’s terminal project
toward his Master of Fine Arts degree in theater.
Meier has performed at University Theatre as Duperret in
"Marat-sade,” as Edmund in “King Lear,” and as Richmond in
“Richard III ” In his one-man show he will go through “Hamlet”
talking about different acting styles and demonstrating a couple of
them
The show is open to the public without charge, 8:30 p.m. at 2350
