Arts and sciences academy elects North as a fellow Douglass C. North, Ph.D., Henry R. Luce Professor of Law and Liberty at Washington University, has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation's oldest learned socie- ties of recognized leaders in science, scholarship, the arts and public affairs.

North has served as director of the University's Center in Political Economy since its establishment in 1984. He specializes in economic or- ganization, history and political economic theory.

"Professor North is an important intellectual leader for Washington University," said Chancellor William H. Danforth. "This recognition by the academy is well deserved; he has made valuable contributions to the fields of history, politics and economics."

North is the author of seven books on economics, including Structure and Change in Economic History and The Economics of Pub- lic Issues, currently in its sixth edi- tion. He collaborated with Robert P. Thomas to write The Rise of the Western World: A New Economic History, which has been translated into five languages.

Since 1985, North and James Alt (professor of political science at Washington from 1979 to 1986) have been editing an ongoing series of books and monographs titled The Po- litical Economy of Institutions and

Terrorism in Sri Lanka to be topic of talk by national security minister The Minister of National Security of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka will speak at 5 p.m. Mon- day, June 22, in Graham Chapel.

The Hon. Lalith Athulathmudali will speak on "Terrorism in Sri Lanka — a Democracy in Crisis." The lecture is free and open to the public. He will be accompanied to St. Louis by Susantha de Alwis, the Sri Lanka ambassador to the United States.

Athulathmudali holds what is considered the most sensitive minis- terial position in the cabinet of Presi- dent Jayewardene; he previously held portfolios of trade, and trade and shipping. He is internationally recog- nized in the field of jurisprudence.

He moved from law to politics in Sri Lanka and was elected to Par- liament in 1977, when he contested a parliamentary seat for the first time. He represents the urban-industrial district of Ratmalana, on the south- ern outskirts of Colombo. He was appointed Minister of Trade in 1977, Minister of Trade and Shipping in

1978, and Minister of National Secu- rity in 1984. He was a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee, which drafted Sri Lanka's Constitu- tion of 1978, and a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee re- viewing and revising national elector- al laws.

He attended Jesus College, Ox- ford, where he obtained a bachelor of arts degree in 1958 and a master of arts degree in jurisprudence in I960. He also was awarded a law degree from Harvard University. His thesis was accepted for the perma- nent collection of the Harvard Law School.

The lecture is co-sponsored by the University's School of Law, the departments of Anthropology, Politi- cal Science, and Sociology, the Inter- national Studies Program, the Inter- national Law Society; the World Af- fairs Council of St. Louis; and the Sri Lanka-United States of America Friendship Association of the Mid- west.

Five chairmen named

Until we meet again Commencement is a time for saying hello to friends and relatives who come to share in the special occa- sion, as well as a time for saying goodbye to classmates who have shared the University experience. Above, Ruth E. Harris and Kaye E. Zusmann exhibit the closeness and happiness that was abundant on Commencement day. Left, James T. Madore (center) and Janna L. Hecker join in the senior champagne toast before the Commencement ceremony.

Admissions names acting dean E.B. McDonald, associate dean of admissions, has been named acting dean of admissions. He will report to A. Van L. Brokaw, who was assistant dean in the Faculty of Arts and Sci- ences for admissions, strategy and planning, and who now will hold the position of associate vice provost for enrollment planning.

The appointments, which are ef- fective immediately, were announced by W. Maxwell Cowan, provost and executive vice chancellor.

Brokaw, who joined the staff earlier this year, will report to Cowan. Previously, Brokaw had been an executive with Ralston Purina for 20 years — most recently as director for marketing for the international division and as director of strategic planning and new business develop- ment for the grocery products divi- sion.

Prior to Ralston Purina, Brokaw was an assistant dean at Colgate Uni- versity. He earned a bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University and a master's degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

McDonald succeeds Robert Hedrick, who has been named direc- tor of admissions at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn.

McDonald earned his undergrad- uate degree at Washington University and a master's at the University of Wisconsin. He joined Washington in 1962 as an admissions counselor. He previously has served as assistant, as- sociate and director of admissions.

"Van Brokaw and Ted McDonald 2 bring marketing expertise and long-

term experience, respectively, to our student recruitment efforts," Cowan said. "I am confident that they will maintain the excellent momentum of our undergraduate admissions pro- gram, which set new records during the current year." He also noted that the national search for a permanent dean of admissions would commence in the fall.

Effective July 1 are the appoint- ments of Marvin J. Cummins, Depart- ment of Sociology; David T. Konig, Department of History; James E. McLeod, African and Afro-American Studies; Henry I. Schvey, Performing Arts Department; and John Stern, Department of Psychology.

"We are pleased to appoint these qualified individuals as department chairmen and are confident that their excellent leadership capabilities will continue to spur development in these five areas of the college," Israel said.

Marvin J. Cummins, associate professor of sociology, has been named chairman of the Department of Sociology, where he has served as

acting chairman since 1985. Cum- mins joined the Washington faculty in 1967.

Konig, a member of the history department since 1973, will succeed professor Richard J. Walter as chair- man of the department.

McLeod, an associate adjunct professor in the Department of Ger- manic Languages and Literatures, is former assistant to Chancellor William H. Danforth.

Stern, who joined the Washing- ton University faculty in 1953, will succeed IraJ. Hirsh, Edward Mal- linckrodt Distinguished LJniversity Professor, as the psychology depart- ment chairman.

Five hundred scientists worldwide to convene here for silicon event Five hundred scientists from more than 20 countries will convene June 7 through 12 at Washington Universi- ty to discuss silicon, a vital element of computers and many other elec- tronic devices.

The Eighth International Sympo- sium on Organosilicon Chemistry will cover a broad range of topics that appeal to both science and in- dustry, according to Peter Gaspar, Ph.D., Washington professor of chemistry. He and Joyce and Eugene Corey, professors of chemistry at the University of Missouri at St. Louis, are co-chairing the event.

"Silicon compounds are impor- tant high-temperature materials used in the space program and, closer to home, they are used to cool huge transformers," Gaspar said. "Entirely new kinds of molecules containing silicon are being made, and these new concepts are changing the basic ideas of chemistry."

Co-hosted by the University of

Missouri at St. Louis, the conference technical sessions begin the morning of June 8 with welcoming remarks by Chancellor William H. Danforth and UMSL Chancellor Marguerite Ross Barnett. Plenary lecturers that morning include Leo A. Paquette. A professor of chemistry at Ohio State University, he is often mentioned as a future Nobel laureate for his syn- thesis of novel organic compounds. He will be followed by Hideki Sakur of Tohoku University, Japan, and Donald R. Weyenberg, vice president for research at Dow Corning, Mid- land, Mich.

Through the week, 50 invited and 200 contributed lectures and poster presentations will be given. An industrial exhibit illustrating sili- con chemistry will be on view on the lower level of Mallinckrodt Cen- ter. Social events also are planned.

College Bowl team heads to nationals Washington University's College Bowl team is about to compete for the national championship in "The Wonderful World of Disney." The 1987 College Bowl National Champi- onship Tournament will be held June 14-17 at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center outside Orlando, Fla.

Dick Cavett will moderate the 10th annual tournament and The Disney Channel will tape the entire event. The show, which will feature a pre-taped segment highlighting the various university logos, will be aired in September.

In College Bowl, "the varsity sport of the mind," a quiz game for- mat is used to recognize students' in- tellectual achievement and help them learn the value of group participation and gamesmanship.

"The team really appreciates the fact we're going to Epcot Center," says Susan A. Burke, coordinator of student activities and the team's ad- viser/coach. The team has been prac- ticing for the single-elimination tour- nament since the spring semester, she says.

To receive points at College Bowl, students must answer correct-

ly questions on topics like history, literature, current events, science and art. Washington's five-member team will battle for the national title against students from across the country. A total of 16 universities will compete in the bowl, including Cornell, New York, Georgetown and the University of Minnesota.

The members of the University team are: Andrew A. Zupan, a sec- ond-year medical student from Col- umbus, Ohio; Mark A. Ramsey, a junior political science major from Centralia, Mo.; Paul Wen-Sin Cheng, a junior biology major from Kewanee, 111.; Kathleen R. Ryan, a sophomore biology major from Quincy, 111.; and alternate Michael A. Singer, a sophomore from Rockville, Md.

Washington team members won all five matches they played at the re- gional tournament in February, which was held at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Okla. Eleven universities competed at the regionals, which included schools in Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.

NEWSMAKERS Washington University faculty and staff make news around the globe. Following is a digest of media cover- age they have received during recent weeks for their scholarly activities, research and general expertise.

"Current voluntary steel export restraints have kept steel prices higher than they would be without the measures," says Arthur Denzau, Ph.D., professor of economics, in the April 6 edition of the Detroit Free Press. He believes higher steel prices to auto companies mean steeper car prices, lower auto sales, and ulti- mately fewer auto workers.

"The Impact of Foreign Graduate Students on Engineering Education in the United States," is the title of an article in the April 3 edition of Science Magazine. The study is co- authored by Robert P. Morgan, Ph.D.,

professor of technology and human affairs, and Elinor G. Barber, director of research for the Institute of Inter- national Education in New York. Their research shows that chairper- sons and faculty, overall, view foreign students as an asset — de- spite differences in language, cultural background and the additional ad- ministrative work that is needed to enroll them.

The works of the late "junkman artist" Stanley Papio are be- ing restored on Key Largo by Washington University Technology Associates (WUTA), according to the April 12 Miami Herald. Phoebe Dent Weil, chief conservator for WUTA, says "The basic problem is environ- ment. Dust that settles on the surface this close to the ocean will contain a lot of corrosive chlorides." Authorities on Key Largo plan to install Papio's works indoors at some future date. 3

Renovations close gallery until Oct. 2 The Washington University Gallery of Art is closed through Oct. 2 while the lower level galleries are reno- vated.

While the upper exhibit hall at the gallery enjoys a prestigious pres- ence in the St. Louis art community, the lower level is often overlooked by visitors, says Gerald D. Bolas, director of the gallery. Washington has contracted with Team Four Design for a renovation that will at- tract visitors to the lower level and increase the gallery's overall flexibility.

Team Four will use movable par- titions, varied ceiling heights, colors and materials that will lend character to the space and a flexible lighting system. A new stairway railing will be installed to present a more invit- ing atmosphere on the lower level.

Construction of these improve- ments will be completed in late Sep- tember in time for the gallery's opening of "Paris in Japan," a major exhibit organized by the Gallery of Art and the Japan Foundation of Tokyo.
