Law, Economics Prize Awarded
r
The UM Law and Economics Center has awarded its first annual prize for distinguished scholarship in law and economics to a University of Chicago law professor.
Center director Dr. Henry G. Manne announced the $1,000 award to Richard A. Posner for his paper, “The Economic Approach to Law,” published in Texas Law Review, volume 53.
The prize will be awarded annually for the work in the preceding academic year making the most significant scholarly contribution in the Center’s range of interest, Dr. Manne said.
In his paper Posner suggests society eventually will develop a “utilitarian theory of justice.” He contrasts the “old” law and economics which confined its attention to laws governing explicit economic relationships (such as antitrust laws) to the “new” law and economics which recognizes no such limitation on the domain of economic analysis of law.
Richard Posner is professor of law at the University of Chicago and senior research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The name of the School of Law’s Center for Studies in Law and Economics has been changed to Law and Economics Center.
Phonathon Successful
The 1975 Medical School Alumni Phonathon raised nearly $100,000 in pledges to the John K. Robinson Annual Loyalty Fund.
As it ha's each year since it was started in 1969, the Phonathon topped the previous year’s total—$81,659 in 1974.
Pledges were made by 642 alumni. At the time the Robinson Annual Loyalty Fund was established last year, four membership categories were set up: Patron, $1,000 or more; Benefactor, $500 or more; Sustaining, $250 or more, and Century Club, $100 or more. Century Club drew 382 members, Sustaining, 63; Benefactors, 16; and Patrons, six.

Energy Conference to Be
The First World Hydrogen Energy Conference, to be held in Miami Beach March 1-3, will be the largest and most comprehensive scientific gathering ever held to discuss possible uses of hydrogen as an energy carrier, according to Dr. T. Nejat Veziroglu, associate dean of research, School of Engineering and Environmental Design, and director of UM’s Clean Energy Research Institute.
The conference is being presented by the Clean Energy Research Institute and the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, and is sponsored by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and the UM School of Continuing Studies.
Attending the conference will be 600-800 scientists and engineers from about 30 countries, including Russia. Approximately 150 scientific and technical papers will be presented in 27 regular and one plenary sessions.
“The First World Hydrogen Energy Conference will be a landmark event in the world’s accelerating search for new clean and abundant sources of energy. The theme of the meeting is ‘Progress in World Hydrogen Energy Projects and Planning’,” said Dr. Veziroglu, conference chairman.
He continued, “All facets of this future hydrogen-energy system will be authoritatively covered by participants.”
T. Nejat Veziroglu
The three-day event will involve sessions in which formal papers will be presented on primary energy sources, production, storage, transmission, utilization, environmental effects and economic problems of hydrogen and alternatives. Panel discussions involving various hydrogen-energy-related interest areas are also scheduled.
All faculty members and all graduate students recommended by their faculty advisors can attend the conference without charge, according to Dr. Veziroglu.
Two invited lectures will be presented
CAIS Begins Monthly Publication To Report on Kremlin’s Viewpoints
The University Center for Advanced International Studies last month introduced the first issue of its new monthly publication, Soviet World Outlook.
The publication’s stated purpose is to report monthly on Kremlin views critically affecting U.S. interests; to examine Soviet statements as the keys to understanding Soviet actions and to seek to inject the Kremlin’s views into U.S. debate on relations with the U.S.S.R.
Editors are Dr. Mose L. Harvey, professor of history, director of the Center for Advanced International Studies (CAIS), and senior member from 1961-64 of the State Dept. Policy Planning
Council; and Foy D. Kohler, CAIS professor of international studies and ambassador to the U.S.S.R. from 1962-66.
“To those who have studied Soviet talk over a long succession of years,” the editors said, “... and who, above all, have trained themselves ‘to think like Russians,’ there is a remarkable correlation between the Soviet word and the Soviet deed.
“It is not that the Kremlin hides what it wants or the means by which it expects to get it, but only that outsiders all too often refuse to pay attention to what it says.”

in the plenary session on March 1, following the opening ceremonies. Derek P. Gregory, director of energy systems research, Institute of Gas Technology, Chicago, will speak on “Hydrogen Energy-Compared to What?” and Leonard J. Emmerglick, director of UM’s Center for Interdisciplinary Study of Public Law, will speak on “The Irrational Factor in Scientific Research”.
Among the internationally known scientists and engineers participating in the conference will be Kurt Weil, Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, creator of the first hydrogen-powered engine; Alan Manne, Littauer Center, Harvard University, an energy and resource economist; James E. Funk of the Institute of Mining and Minerals Research, University of Kentucky; Dr. J. Bockris of Flinders University of South Australia, a Fellow of the Royal Society of England; and Felix Trombe, National Solar Energy Laboratory, France.
Some of the technical papers to be presented deal with the production of hydrogen using solar energy, storage of hydrogen in highway vehicles, financing a hydrogen economy with savings realized from health cost reductions (Operation Cough Drop), the use of hydrogen as an aircraft fuel, and the feasibility of a hydrogen-powered mass transit system.
“Hydrogen is envisioned by an impressively mounting number of international energy planners, scientists and engineers to be the most effective and environmentally compatible means on the horizon for linking new non-fossil primary energy sources (nuclear, solar, ocean-thermal, geo-thermal) with expanding (continued on page 3)
