For the Faculty, Start and Friends of the University of Miami VoL 21, No. 7 November 24, 1980 President Stanford conferred the Gold Cross of the Order of Merit upon Emily Murray Vance (Mrs. Herbert O.) at the Nov. 3 meeting of the Women's Guild. Mrs. Vance was the founding president of the Friends of the Library. She and her late husband have participated in many aspects of the University throughout the years. ÜM ophthalmologist honored Richard K. Forster, MD, associate profes- participation in the clinical activities of the sor of ophthalmology at the UM school of Medicine, has received the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s 1980 Honor Award for his outstanding service to the profession. The award was presented in Chicago at the opening ceremonies of the Academy’s annual meeting, Nov. 2-7. Dr. Forster was one of a number of Academy members honored for contributions in continuing education at the world’s largest annual meeting on scientific advances in eye care. Twelve thousand ophthalmologists, other professionals in eye care and related fields and their guests gathered for the week-long educational exchange and study program. Seminars, instructional courses and scientific exhibits provided information on the latest developments in eye care. Dr. Forster is a member of the board of governors and chairman of several committees at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute/ Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital. He is a board member of the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and associated with Florida Lions Eye Bank. In connection with his Conference focuses on alternative energy The 3rd Miami International Conference on Alternative Energy Sources will be held December 15-17, 1980 at the Sheraton Bai Harbour; Florida. The conference is presented by the Clean Energy Research Institute of the UM’s School of Engineering and Architecture, in cooperation with the mechanical engineering department and Center for Theoretical Studies, and the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, International Atomic Energy Agency; International Association for Housing Science, and International Solar Energy Society. Scientists from all over the world will participate in sessions on solar energy, ocean thermal energy, wind energy; hydro, nuclear breeders and nuclear fusion, synthetic fuels from coal or wastes, hydrogen production and uses, formualtion of workable policies on energy use and energy conservation. The objective of the conference is to share information on the present state of the art and rate of progress in each of the alternative energy forms. Registration fee is $225. For information contact the Clean Energy Research Institute, (305) 284-4666. latter, he coordinates a course for morticians in the sterile removal of donor eyes for corneal transplants. Both writer and editor, Dr. Forster’s papers appear in various medical journals, and he is periodically called upon to review and evaluate papers presented by others for publication in the Archives of Ophthalmology and Investigative Ophthalmology. He was educated at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, and later received his MD degree from Boston University School of Medicine and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. He is currently involved in a National Institutes of Health sponsored research program.

A member of the State and National bar associations, Spencer is chairman of the Better Business Bureau of South Horida and of the Board of Trustees of the Players State Theatre. His contributions to UM as a student continued after graduation with his participation in the Law Alumni Association, Citizens Board, and many other facets of the University. President-elect, Mark B. Cl as by, B.B.A. ’65, is president of Glare Control, Inc and is secretary of the National Energy Control Dealers Association. He is vice-chairman of the Better Business Bureau of South Florida and serves as secretary and director of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. The three vice-presidents are Audrey R.

Shaw, president of Shaw Nursery' is vice president of Dade County Agri-Council, a director of Coconut Grove Bank and of South Miami Hospital Association. He was 1980 Alumni Homecoming chairman. United Way goals exceeded Despite inflation and omnipresent ac- Says, Black, "Many people thought that counts of financial woes, this year University of Miami faculty and staff were more generous than ever to the United Way of Dade campaign. They surpassed the 1980 goal of $111,352 by pledging gifts totalling $113,879-46. This was rewarding to Professor Emeritus Bernie Blade, who coordinated this year’s campaign for the first time under the direction of Dr Ricardo McKinney; director of UM business services. the refugee crisis and unrest this past summer would really hurt our campaign, but that wasn’t the case. UM faculty and staff found it in their hearts to help more than ever before and we are so grateful. UM faculty and staff pledged $20,000 more this year than last when they gave some $93,000 to the United Way of Dade, which helps more than half-a-million people in the Greater Miami area. The University annually recognizes continued on page 2. U.S. and Soviet scientists collier on climate The UM’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies was recently host to the Sixth Joint Meeting of Working Group VIII—Influence of Environmental Changes on Climate under the US/USSR Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Environmental Protection. The purpose of the Working Group, which met Oct. 14-19, was to develop cooperative projects to enhance understanding of the sensitivity of climate to natural and man made environmental changes. The Working Group is conducted within three projects having five centers of activity: modelling and diagnoses of climate; the record of the climatic past; polar and oceanic influences on climate; the influence of pollution on climate, and solar influence on climate. Dr V. G. Boldyrev headed the USSR’s delegation; the U.S. delegation was under Dr E. S. Epstein of NQAA. Several important proposals were adopted at the October 1980 meeting for implementation in 1981, concerning symposia, workshops and meetings, the exchange of scientists and data and the publication of papers. Over the next year, several Soviet and American specialists will visit the United States and Soviet Russia, respectively, pursuing the development of joint experiments on the monitoring of fluor compounds which attack the ozone in the stratosphere. These compounds have possible effects on cancer incidence and carbon dioxide, which affects the climate. The joint use of US and USSR research ships will be considered. A possible joint program for the use of historical meteorological satellite picture data to determine the time and location of atmospheric dust sources from the worlds’ deserts, will also be considered. The teams will consider the possibility of future cooperation regarding the role of the ocean in climate fluctuation. Both sides are expected to complete their joint analysis of changes in the zonal mean kinetic energy of the atmosphere associated with solar flares. The sun emits c flares at approximately 11 year cycles, and 1980 is a peak year for solar activity. The results will be discussed at a symposium to be held in the Soviet Union in 1981. Thomas R. Spencer, president, UM Alumni Association Stone, president of Comprehensive Pensions Corp., is current chairman of the University Relations Committee of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce and is active in many areas of the University and community. Outstanding Service Awards were also announced at the dinner-dance. Emerson Allsworth, B.B.A. ’48 and J.D. '52, received the 1980 Alumnus of the Year Award. Audrey R. Finklestein received the award for leadership in programs de- signed to involve alumni in University activities. Theodore N. Tienmeyer, B.B.A. ’69, was cited for sustained performance in the field of fund-raising, and Joseph C. Greco, J.D. '53, was recognized for his service in the area of student recruitment.
