Vol. 20, No. 10 January 28, 1980 Barriti named Cursing dean Dr. Richard Henry Dalitz, physicist from Oxford, England, received the 12th annual J. Robert Oppenheimer Prize, awarded by the UM's Center for Theoretical Studies. The presentation took place at the home of UM Trustee Dr. Maxwell Dauer where he and his wife Reva hosted a dinner for nearly 300 University and community guests. From left to right are: Dr. Dauer, UM President Henry King Stanford, Reva Dauer, Dr. Dalitz, Marilyn Meyerson and Murray Meyerson, Mayor of Miami Beach. Dalitz also received the key to the City of Miami Beach from Mayor Meyerson during the festivities. East meets west: at A Florence Nightingale scholar and author has been appointed dean of the School of Nursing. . Dr. Evelyn R. Barritt, currently dean and professor of Nursing at the College of Nursing at the University of Iowa, assumes her new duties effective March 15. In announcing the appointment, Dr. Clyde Wingfield, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs said, "We are delighted to attract such a distinguished nursing educator. "Dean Barritt will be responsible for building the school we need,” Dr. Wingfield added. The announcement concluded the work of a University Search Committee chaired by Dr. George Clark, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Candidates were also interviewed by UM President Henry King Stanford, Dr. Wingfield and Dr. Emanuel Papper, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. Dr. Barritt, who has done considerable research and writing about the relationships of Florence Nightingale with the significant persons of her time, has pubFshed and presented more than 40 distinguished papers on nursing education in the last 10 years. Among other important positions, Dr. Barritt has served as President of the American Association of Colleges and Nursing. Born in Detroit, Michigan, she received her B.S.N., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Nursing Counseling and Guidance and Higher Education Administration at Ohio State University. Wars, riots, poverty and starvation will be our legac>r if we fail to meet the growing energy demand in the next century. Scientists from 33 countries confirmed this and other findings at the Third International Scientific Forum on Energy for Developed and Developing Countries held in Nice, France, Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, 1979. The forum was organized by UM’s Center for Theoretical Studies and Institut Francais de 1’Energie. Recommendations for the future are discussed in a White Paper which combines the findings of all three forums. In spite of higher energy prices and considerable improvement in the efficiency of energy use, energy demand will probably double early in the next century and quadruple by the middle of the century. This estimate is contingent upon a much needed economic improvement in the developing world. Since no single technology' can meet the world’s future energy demand, it is likely that all technologies—conventional fossil, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, geothermal and solar—will be utilized. The paper also states that nuclear fission must play' a significant role in meeting the energy' demand, and that it cannot be foregone without excessive risk. Since an assured nuclear fuel supply cannot be guaranteed by uranium mining alone, nuclear fuel reprocessing is essential. Reprocessing is also the best way to handle spent fuel and to take care of nuclear wastes. There are many candidate systems which may be developed to supplement or eventually replace the present largely Light Water Reactor technology'. These include fast breeder reactors, high temperature gas reactors, heavy water reactors and homogeneous reactors. However, practical consideration of the ability' to produce and install reactors in the numbers necessary dictates Prior to joining the University of Iowa, Dr. Barritt served as dean of Nursing at Capital University; assistant director and legislative agent of The Ohio Nurses Association, and as associate director of Nursing Services at Riverside Methodist Hospital, all in Columbus, Ohio. Dean Barritt is also listed in five Who’s Who publications in American Colleges and Universities and Health Care and Women in Education. Dr. Barritt is married and the mother of a 19-year-old daughter. that currently successful systems be sustained and their installation encouraged by governments until advanced systems are fully available and acceptable technically, economically and industrially. Progress has been achieved toward the development of nuclear fusion systems which may become economically feasible on a longer time scale. However, the possible development of fusion technology should not delay the necessary' deployment of fission technology. It is possible that the first application of fusion technology' will be in a hybrid fission/fusion system. A previous finding regarding the proliferation of nuclear weapons was also confirmed. It recognizes that the deployment of fission power or hybrid fusion/ fission power on a large scale poses problems of Continued on page 4 Frost on campus Jan. 30 Television personality David Frost will lecture Jan. 30 as part of the UM Lecture Series.

He also has recently branched into the field of motion pictures as executive producer of the critically acclaimed documentary, Leadbelly. International scholars and political experts from the U.S. and abroad will address world affairs at an invitational conference on "The Middle East and the West Tow'ard the End of the 20th Century.” Sponsored by the University of Miami’s Center for Advanced International Studies, the conference is scheduled for Wednesday' and Thursday, Feb. 13 and 14, in the UM Law School Moot Court, room 109, on the Coral Gables campus. Dr. George S. Wise, CAIS director, will open the two-day conference Wednesday morning. Dr. Bernard Lewis, Arabist and Cleveland E. Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, will give an introductory lecture. The Wednesday morning panel will deal with basic economic, social and cultural changes in the Middle East. Following lunch, "New and Old Forces in the Middle East” will be examined. Topics include Islamic Revival and Leftism; Loyalties to Community, Nation and State; Islam and Politics in the Nile Valley; the Persian Gulf; and Pragmatism and Radicalism in Egypt. The Thursday morning panel will feature "Politics in the Middle East,” covering Regional Politics; Turkey and Her Neighbors; The Fertile Crescent; Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula; and the Palestinians. The afternoon presentations will focus on "The Middle East and World Politics,” Frost is probably best known for his in-depth video tape interview with former President Richard Nixon at San Qemente. A recent inverview with the Shah of Iran was aired Jan. 17 on ABC’s ”20/20.” The lecture is free and open to the public. with a review of strategic and political problems of the United States, Soviet Union and the Middle and Far East. The roster of guest speakers reads like a page in "Who’s Who in World Affairs.” Their backgrounds range from former foreign ministers, ambassadors and university presidents to outstanding international scholars and fellows at leading universities. In addition to Bernard Lewis, prominent guest lecturers include Alexandre Bennigsen, an authority on Muslim minorities in the Soviet Union, from the Universities of Chicago and Paris; Charles Issawi, Bayard Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University; Mohammed Yeganeh, a former economic and foreign minister of Iran who will discuss economic developments and oil problems; Rouhollah K.
