University selected for physics seminar The University has been selected as the site of X-82, a biennial international coher ence on X-ray and atomic inner shell physics to be held Aug 23-27. 1982 Scientists from 36 countries, including large contingencies from the United States, West Germany and Japan, are ex pected to attend, according to Bernd Crasemann. physics professor and conference co chairman X-ray physics "involves re search having important, highly technical applications" to such problems as the development of heat-resistant metals for use on spacecraft like the space shuttle Crasemann said The research also deals with the development of an X-ray laser that could be used to make computer circuitry smaller The production of computer circuits now depends on con ventional photography," Cra semann said "Using an X-ray laser would allow production of much smaller and faster cir cuits " Atomic inner-shell physics concerns the actions of the very high-energy electrons that orbit closest to the nucleus of atoms, he explained The University's selection as host tor the event recognizes the quality of research un derway here, said conference co-chairman R D Deslattes, a National Bureau of Standards physicist The conference organizing committee picked the University because of the "very good work" going on in the University physics department, he said The five-day event will include papers on such topics as the design of short-wavelength lasers and the X-ray diagnosis of plasmas used in controlled thermonuclear fusion There will be general presentations each day, as well as smaller, specialized sessions The conference is sponosred by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics and the American Physical Society in conjunction with the Univer sity Previous conferences were held in Scotland in 1980 and Japan in 1978 Further information about the X-82 conference can be ob tained from Crasemann at 686-4754 One killed, two injured in violent weekend storm A 19-year-old University student was electrocuted Sunday morning in Portland after apparently stepping on a power line downed in a violent storm that swept the Pacific Northwest last weekend Marjorie Weisensee, an un declared sophomore from Portland, and two companions apparently were getting out of her car at her Portland home shortly after midnight Saturday when the accident occured -- Her companions, also Univer sity students, were burned in the electrocution and were taken to Portland's Emanuel Hospital On Tuesday, hospital person nel listed sophomore Kari Hartman a 19-year-old pre-bus iness administration major from Portland, in critical condi tion, and Karin Elstad, an 18-year-old undeclared so phomore, in serious condition Both were scheduled for sur gery Tuesday a Li THE OUNCE at the EMERALD VALLEY FORREST INN .XXXI.
