Chemists win
Sloan awards
Two University chemists —
one whose research may even
tually help automobile man
ufacturers design more efficient
and cleaner-running engines,
and the other whose research
may result in a new type of in
dustrial catalyst — have been
selected to receive Alfred P
Sloan Research Fellowships
Paul Engelking and Richard
Finke are among 88 chemists,
mathematicians, physicists,
neuroscientists and economists
representing 50 colleges and
universities across the country
honored this year by the New
York-based foundation
The awards, worth $25,000
each, are given to academic
institutions on behalf of young
scholars who show 'exception
al promise of contributing to the
advancement of knowledge "
They are for use during the next
two academic years, beginning
in September 1982
About 400 candidates were
nominated nationwide by senior
colleagues familiar with their
talents Recipients were
selected by the foundation
based on the recommendations
of a panel of 15 distinguished
senior researchers
"Paul Engelking is an unu
sually talented young scientist
who has already demonstrated
his high research productivity,”
said Tom Dyke, a University
chemist who nominated En
gelking and who was a Sloan
fellow himself in 1977.
Another University chemist
and 1972 Sloan fellow. John
Keana. nominated Finke
because "he has undertaken a
vigorous and highly productive
approach toward the discovery
of fundamental new chemistry
of organic substances contain
ing metals Already recognized
nationally, he compares favora
bly with the very best re
searchers at his stage of
development
“He is not only an excellent
experimentalist, but also has an
unusually strong understanding
of theory "
The only recipients of Sloan
fellowships in Oregon this year,
Engelking and Finke are the
14th and 15th University faculty
members to be so honored
since 1958 Their selection
marks the first time since 1967
that more than one University
instructor has received the
award
Weaver’s bill
to create jobs
Congressman Jim Weaver,
D-Ore., unveiled a plan Wed
nesday to save energy and
boost employment in Oregon.
The Oregon Energy and Jobs
Program would train 12,000
Oregonians to audit homes and
businesses for energy ef
ficiency. The auditors would
suggest weatherization tech
niques to homeowners and
businessmen
The program would be fund
ed through the Bonneville
Power Administration's conser
vation budget, and would cost
taxpayers no additional money,
he said
“The goal of this bill is to get
as much conservation done as
possible," Weaver said at a
meeting of the Lane Democratic
Forum. "It's like money in the
bank “
Weaver has distributed
copies of the bill to Oregon
legislators, and says he hopes
they will pass it despite opposi
tion from Gov. Vic Atiyeh
"This should be done im
mediately, and I challenge him
(Atiyeh) to do it,” Weaver said.
“If I had the power to make him
do it. I would He should be
horsewhipped for not doing it ."
The BPA's $14-million con
servation budget has been mis
used by state officials to finance
the WPPSS power project,
Weaver said
"You know they don’t want to
use this money to finance the
bill,” he said. "They want to
continue to use the money to
finance the utilities.
"To try and dump the cost of
WPPSS on the people of
Oregon is the most arrogant,
contemptuous thing I have ever
seen," Weaver said. "It's ab
solute madness.
"That's your money going
down the rat hole."
Foreign study
deadline near
Monday is the last day to ap
ply for the year-long foreign
study programs in Japan and
France sponsored by the
Oregon State System of Higher
Education.
Students may still apply for
either program by going to the
Office of International Services
in Room 330, Oregon Hall, or to
Romance Languages in Room
101, Friendly Hall or East Asian
Languages in Room 308,
Friendly Hall.
Students who have yet to ap
ply will not be able to go to
France or Japan until the
beginning of the 1982-83
academic year. However, early
application to the program al
lows students time to take
special spr.ng courses and
workshops to strengthen their
language skills and general
knowledge on those countries.
Both programs are open to
University students in all fields.
To be eligible for the program in
Poitiers, France, a student must
have completed 24 hours of
college French, two years of
undergraduate work, and have
maintained a 2.5 overall GPA by
next fall.
The classes taught in Japan
in Waseda University's
International Division are of
fered in English, so no language
prerequisite is required, al
though students must be at
least sophomores and maintain
a 2.5 GPA to be eligible.
