AAAS honors five University researchers Univarsity Nawt Bureau Five University researchers have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Anthropologist C. Melvin Aikens, physicist Bernd Crasemann, neuroscientist Michael Menaker, marine biologist Robert Terwilliger and cell biologist James Weston were among 296 scientists so honored during the AAAS annual meeting in May. AAAS fellows, now number ing some 16,000 nationwide, are those members “whose ef forts on behalf of the advance ment of science or its applica tion are scientifically or social ly distinguished.” Aikens, who heads the an thropology department and is Oregon State Museum of An thropology archaeological curator, has been at the University since 1969. He serves on the Oregon State Committee on Historic Preservation. He was cited for “con tributing to the archaeology of western North American and Japan in a way that underscores the unity of humanity." Born in Ogden, Utah, Aikens is a graduate of Weber College in Utah, and the University of Utah. He also holds master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago. Crasemann, on sabbatic leave during 1982-83 at the Stanford Synchrotron Radia tion Laboratory, has been on the University faculty since 1953 and phsyics department chair since 1976. He was cited for "important contributions to atomic physics and nuclear physics, including particularly inner shell processes.” 1 Levy would turn on street lights Eugene School District 4J is requesting $8.4 million outside its $41 million tax base for 1983-84 operations, and Springfield is asking for enough money to turn on city street lights. District 4J leads off the “D" ballot in to day’s county election, asking for money to “help pay salaries; buy books; buy supplies and instructional equipment; heat, clean and maintain buildings; and pay other costs of educating approximately 17,579 students for one year.” “The tax base of $41,051,198 is not ade quate to meet the operational needs for 1983-84. The tax levy of $8,433,865 outside the tax base is needed to fund a reduced level of programs in the Eugene School District for the 1983-84 fiscal year,” the ballot measure states. If the measure passes, about $1.7 million of the money will be eligible for par tial state funding, but the other $6.7 million will be financed totally by the taxpayers. Also on today's "D” ballot is a $660,650 levy for Springfield. If the measure passes, the city will buy an ambulance, hire three full-time firefighters, three full-time police officers and 1 animal control officers. Springfield also will turn street lights back on and restore street sweeping and landscape maintenance if the proposal passes. Library hours will be maintained at 37 hours per week. Early orientation deadline nears University news bureau Friday, July 1, is the sign-up deadline for five sessions of the University’s 1983 Early Orientation and Registration Program. The three evening-and-day program, July 17-18, July 24-25, and July 29-30, and the day-only session on July 23, are open to students already admitted to the University and scheduled to enter classes as freshman this fall. New this year to the pro gram is Transfer Day, a day in which transfer students will be invited to attend a special program. Scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Friday, July 22, the day will focus on credit evaluation and faoulty advising. Early registration will not be available to transfer students with 45 or more quarter credit hours. EORP is designed for students and their parents as an inforamtional introduction to University life. It provides an opportunity for new students to get special academic advising and to register early for fall term classes. According to Gregg Lobisser, University orienta tion director, approximately 2,000 persons are expected to attend the five EORP sessions this year. For a registration form and additional information, call the orientation office 686-3218.

He is a graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles and has a doctoral degree from UC-Berkeley. Menaker, who directs the University Institute of Neuros cience, has been a member of the biology faculty since 1979. He was cited “for contribu tions in the physiology of cir cadian systems in the vertebrates.” A graduate of Swarthmore College, he also holds a doc torate from Princeton Universi ty. In 1971-72, he was a Gug genheim fellow in France, and he held a National Institute of Health career development award from 1970-75. Terwilliger, assistant direc tor of the University Institute of Marine Biology at Charleston, has been a member of the biology faculty isince 1969. A respiratory physiologist, he was cited for "research on the comparative aspects of the structure of oxygen-carrying proteins.” A native of Hartford, Conn., he is a graduate of Bowdoin College. He also has master’s and doctoral degrees fom Boston University. Weston, a University biology professor since 1970, is a graduate of Cornell and Yale universities. Cited for his research on “the migration and differentiation of neural crest cells in avian and murine embryos,” he is also in terested in the control of mor phogenesis in mutant mice. A Washington, D.C. native, he serves on the National Science Foundation’s developmental biology panel and is a member of the medical advisory boards of the Neurof ibramatoris and Dysautonmia foundations. The AAAS, formed in 1848, is the leading general scien tific organization in the United States. It currently has some 140,000 individual members and about 300 affiliated scien tific societies and academics of science.
