Warming Up—for the first baseball game of the season with Florida State is Whit Beckman. The February 16 game will highlight a day of dedication for UM’s new Mark Light Field. Opening ceremonies will be at the field, at San Amaro and Ponce de Leon Drive, at 7 p.m., and the game will begin at 7:30. Mark Light Field, with 112,000 square feet of 3M Tartan Turf, is the only collegiate sports complex of its kind in the country.
Alan Radcliff Appointed Fund Drive Co-chairman
President Henry King Stanford recently announced the appointment of retired industrialist Alan L. Radcliff of Coconut Grove as a co-chairman of the 1973 Citizens Board campaign which has a goal of $750,000.
Mr. Radcliff joins campaign chairman Stanley Arkin and co-chairmen Angel Lorie and Carter Saxon in the annual drive to secure support for the University’s Golden Anniversary Development Program.
More than 100 prominent business and professional leaders currently hold membership in the Citizens Board, which was established in 1946 as an advisory group to UM. Since then, members of the Citizens Board have secured in excess of $18 million in support of the University’s programs and facilities.
2 Division Chairman Named at RSMAS
Two division chairmen were appointed at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science during January.
Dr. James H. Carpenter, marine chemist and oceanographer, joined RSMAS as chairman of the Division of Chemical Oceanography, and Dr. Francis Williams was appointed chairman, Division of Fisheries and Applied Estuarine Ecology, Dean F. G. Walton Smith announced.
Of Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Smith said: “We are pleased that Dr. Carpenter will direct our activities in chemical oceanography, an area of study that is increasing in importance as the nations of the world consider the necessity for future monitoring and prediction of pollution in the seas. Dr. Carpenter brings considerable administrative and research capabilities to the Division, having served as head of the Oceanography Section of the National Science Foundation.”
Dr. Carpenter earned his B.A. in 1949 from the University of Virginia and his Ph.D. in oceanography in 1957 from the Johns Hopkins Unive **y.
He taught oceanography at Johns Hopkins and was a research scientist at the University’s Chesapeake Bay Institute from 1957 until 1971, when he took leave to join the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Francis Williams, new chairman, Division of Fisheries and Applied Estuarine Ecology, comes to RSMAS from La Jolla, California, where he had been a research biologist in the Tuna Oceanography Research Program at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He has recently proposed models of migrations of young skipjack into the Pacific that correlate oceanographic conditions and biological data.
A British scientist, Dr. Williams brings extensive experience in tropical fisheries in all three oceans to his new appointment.
His special interest has been the pelagic tuna and bullfish, the great game fishes of the sea.
Trained at the University of Durham and with a Doctor of Science from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Dr. Williams spent 17 years in Africa directing fisheries surveys in the western Indian Ocean from Zanzibar for the British government, in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean from Nigeria for the Organization of African Unity and for the FAO (United Nations).
Many of his publications deal with resources available to developing nations in East and West African waters.
Highlighting the School of Engineering and Environmental Design’s extensive participation is the mini sewage-disposal plant constructed by Dr. Thomas Waite, civil engineering. Here Dr. Waite watches as his setup creates pure water. Note the goldfish, lower left.
Mixing mysterious concoctions is Professor Henry Hubinger, getting ready for the chemistry department’s magic show for Science and Engineering Day. The department will also demonstrate a videotape cassette player available to students in Richter Library.
Demonstrations, Exhibits Planned for Science and Engineering Day
The University Science and Engineering Day, the biennial free open house this year will be Saturday, February 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The day-long program will include exhibits, demonstrations, guided tours, and films, offering “something for everyone.” The starting point and information center will be the main lobby of the Cox Science Building.
Under chairmanship this year of Dr. Marshall Jones, professor and chairman, psychology department, Science and Engineering Day is sponsored by the departments of biology, chemistry, geology, physics, psychology, and of architectural, biomedical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, and ocean engineering, and the Ungar Computing Center.
A sampling of the dozens of attractions of the day:
•	An exhibit with stereo view of aerial photos of the Everglades, showing ground plants and other features for ecological studies, and a demonstration of an electron microscope, in the biology department:
•	“Magic shows,” in the chemistry department;
•	Playing games with the computer, in computer science;
•	Potassium-argon dating and demonstra-
tion of the melting of rock as required by this procedure, in the geology department;
•	Exhibits of solid and gas lasers, interferometers, and the new kind of lensless photography, holography, in the physics department;
•	Demonstration of the psychological procedures used to treat snake phobia,
in the psychology department ;
•	A model, high-efficiency sewage-disposal plant (featuring goldfish swimming happily in the last stage!), a human-powered electric generator, a non-polluting hydrogen-powered automobile, among departments of the School of Engineering and Architectural Design;
•	“Show time” in the main auditorium of the Science Building, when films relative to science and engineering research will be shown at scheduled intervals.
Coordinating faculty for UM Science and Engineering Day are Dr. Leonard J. Greenfield, biology; Professor Henry Hubinger, chemistry; Dr. Blake King, mechanical engineering; Dr. George C. Alexandrakis, physics; Dr. Neil Schneiderman, psychology; Dr. Harry Schultz, chemistry; Dr. Harold Skramstad, Computing Center, and Dr. Jerry J. Stipp, geology.
Laxman G. Phadke of the optical physics laboratory makes final adjustments to a laser which will be operated by the physics department to enable visitors to view a hologram, a type of 3-D photograph.
