Space colonies discussed
Gerald O’Neill, a physics professor at Princeton University, will
speak today at 8 p.m. in the EMU ballroom on “The High Frontier.” The
program will center on the possibility of colonies in space and will
feature slides and film clips.
O'Neill works in the area of high-energy, experimental particle
physics. Since 1967 he has investigated the possibility of human habita
tion in space and has advocated the use of present day technology to
construct large manufacturing facilities and human communities in orbit
above the earth.
According to his book published last year, The High Frontier, the
colonies could be built with materials and energy freely available in
space and could produce products at a substantial reduction in price.
In 1965, O’Neill originated the widely-adopted principle of
colliding-beam storage rings, which are currently in operation in the
United States, Flussia, Germany, Italy and France.
“O’Neill has also written several articles and papers on space
applications including “Space Colonies and Energy Needs on Earth” for
Science magazine. His paper “Space Colonization” appeared in the
1976 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia publication Science Year.
Tickets for the program will be available at the door for $1. The
EMU Cultural Forum is sponsoring the event.
Business seminar begins
The fifth in a series of “executive seminars” being sponsored this
winter by the University’s business college will be held today and Friday
at the Red Lion Inn at Jantzen Beach in Portland.
The two-day seminar is titled “How to Administer the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act Program.” ERISA is a federal act that
sets requirements for employee pension plans.
Speakers will include Frederick Konta, a New York attorney who
specializes in employee benefits, and Stanley Mazurek, president of an
independent consulting firm which provides ERISA services.
