since 1967. He earned his BA.
degree from Augustana (III.) Col
lege, his MA. from the University
of Illinois and his Ph.D. from the
University of Minnesota. Before
joining the University faculty, he
taught at the University of Mas
sachusetts.
In 1972, he studied at the Insti
tute for Advance Study at Prince
ton and in 1975 he was a resident
scholar at the Max Planck Institute
of Historical Studies at the Univer
sity of Gottingen, West Germany.
Annual salary for the new posi
tion is $26,348.

Mistakes in
two stories
Tuesday’s story on IFC alloca
tion to Amazon tenants contained
an error. The $225, and $95
funded to ACT coordinator and
tenant advocate, came from the
Office of Student Advocacy
budget, and executive budget re
spectively. In addition, Don
Chalmers has not yet acted as of
ficial legal representative of ACT.
Tuesday’s article about the
state board meeting also con
tained an error. Ray Hawk’s
comment should have read,
“Sally Smith is a faculty wife who
was hired about three years ago to
assist John Thorpe in the man
agement of the married student
housing. She is a very nice lady. I
have no way to judge her compe
tence on matters of plumbing and
electrical repairs.”

Waves link to weather?
What can infrared waves tell us about the weather?
A University scientist says they may one day be used in an early
detection system for atmospheric disturbances which can form without
a doud in the sky, such as tornadoes and the “dear air turbulence"
which occasionally jolts commercial airliners.
Beginning in September, University physicist and astronomer Ira
Nolt will spend a year at a federal laboratory in Boulder, Colo. — the
National and Atmospheric Administration’s Environmental Research
Laboratories — studying possible applications of a technique of
analysis scientists call “multiple band atmospheric radiometry."
Nott s objectrve in the project, sponsored by a $20,000 Senior
Resident Research Associate fellowship from the National Research
Council (NRC), the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences,
is to determine if the infrared measuring technique can be used to
identify and pinpoint atmospheric disturbances.
Nolt says his research is based on the fad that water vapor
molecules in the atmosphere ad as “little radio transmitters," radiating
energy mostly in the form of infrared waves.
“In areas where you have turbulence or storms,” he says, "the
amount of water vapor, and thus the infrared radiation, is changinq
rapidly."
An instrument called a radiometer, and other equipment fitted into
an airplane, will be used to measure and analyze changes in intensity
and other radiation characteristics which retted weather conditions.
In the Colorado projed, initial measurements will be taken at high
altitudes (around 30,(XX) feet), where commercial airliners often fly.
Nolt says many types of atmospheric disturbances form in clear air
In the case of a tornado, for example, the vortex frequently becomes
visible only when it dips near the earth and collects dust partides.
Several of the methods which Nolt will use to trace weather
phenomena are similar to techniques he has used the past seven years
in an ongoing study of the atmosphere of the planet Saturn.
"It’s the same physics and technology, for the most part," he says,
“except in the Saturn projed we are looking at radiation from hydrogen
molecules instead of water vapor, and of course we use a telescope to
get the measurements.”
Modern dance show set
An “Open Showing” of Modem
dance works will be presented
Friday at 3:00 p.m. in Gertinger
Annex, Room 353. Lynn Dally,
who has taught a two-week dance
workshop at the University is a
Los Angeles based choreo
grapher and performer.
Dally has performed with her
company in California, Ohio and in
New York City. She has taught as
a guest artist at a number of uni
versities and is presently a guest
artist at UCLA. The "Open Show
ing” will be a presentation of stu
dents' original dance composi
tions, examples of technique
phrases and improvisations which
have been learned during the
workshop. The one-and-a-half
hour program is free to the public.
