'Nightline' anchor Ted Koppel to speak April 5 in Field House

Easy going: Construction of the Millbrook overpass is complete and many pedestrians are thankful. See story on p. 2.

Dedication day Business school set for celebration Workers inside and outside John E. Simon Hall are hurrying to finish the business school's new home in time for dedication day, Friday, April 4.

The school moved from Prince Hall to Simon Hall in January. Stu- dents and faculty frequently see and hear signs that all is not completed. But the primary contractor and sub- contractors reduce their "punch lists" of remaining items daily.

Completion is a few months away, but the school is settling in. "We have been looking forward to being here since the ground- breaking," says Robert L. Virgil, dean of the School of Business.

That occasion was Oct. 7, 1983 Simon Hall more than triples space available in Prince Hall, originally a residence hall that was the school's home from 1961 until January.

The dedication April 4 is the highlight of a "family day" of events for business school students, faculty, staff and invited guests.

Both before and after the dedica- tion, the business school community

will have plenty of opportunity for recreation with a five-kilometer fun run, organized games and events in- cluding softball, volleyball, tug-of- war, an egg toss, pizza-eating contest and racquetball tournament. The fun run is open to the WU community.

Dedication ceremony speakers include Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, D-Mo., who retires from Congress at the end of this year and will teach at the business school and in political science beginning in 1987.

Others are Charles F. Knight, chief executive officer of Emerson Electric Co., University trustee and chairman of the task force that in 1981 concluded that the business school's progress would be seriously impeded without a new home; W.L. Hadley Griffin, chairman of the Uni- versity trustees and chairman of the executive committee of Brown Group Inc.; Chancellor William H. Danforth; and John E. Simon, a gen- erous St. Louis benefactor for whom the new building is named.

Ted Koppel, the anchor and editorial manager of ABC News' "Nightline," will speak at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 5, in the Field House of the WU Ath- letic Complex. Koppel's lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the University's Assembly Series.

Koppel has been the principal on-air reporter and interviewer for "Nightline" since it was introduced in 1980. Originally established to provide continuous coverage during the Iranian hostage crisis, the pro- gram was television's first late-night network news program. It airs locally at 11 p.m. weekdays on Channel 2.

In addition to "Nightline," Kop- pel anchors "Viewpoint," an ABC News program that airs five times a year and provides a forum for crit- icism and analysis of television news coverage.

Time magazine described Koppel as "the best serious interviewer on American TV." He has received nu- merous honors, including three Emmy Awards, four Overseas Press Club Awards and two Alfred. I. duPont-Columbia University Journal- ism Awards. He recently was named the first recipient of the Sol Taishoff Award presented by Broadcasting Magazine.

Before his "Nightline" assign- ment, Koppel was ABC News' chief diplomatic correspondent and for

two years anchored "The ABC Satur- day Night News." He also co-wrote a best-selling novel, In the National Interest, with Martin Kalb of NBC News.

Koppel holds a bachelor's degree from Syracuse University and a mas- ter's degree from Stanford Univer- sity.

Benson named dean of new school Chancellor William H. Danforth has announced that WU is establishing the School of Technology and Infor- mation Management, a new academic unit affiliated with the School of En- gineering and Applied Science. Rob- ert J. Benson became dean of the school on March 7.

"This school will provide greater opportunity for the University to meet the needs of the business, in- dustrial and technology communities of the entire region," said Danforth. "The school will contribute to devel- opment of the technology and infor- mation management professional communities in the Midwest."

The new school combines sev- eral existing University programs, in- cluding the Center for the Study of Data Processing, the Construction Management Center, and professional development, continuing education, and degree programs in technology, computer and information systems, data processing, and engineering.

"Our goal is to broaden and strengthen the interaction between WU and the business, industrial and technology communities," said Benson. "Consolidation of technol- ogy-oriented professional programs into a single unit enhances the Uni- versity's ability to serve the needs of students and industrial organizations. The resulting combination of the school's staff, programs and facilities is a unique and energetic resource in the region."

The Center for the Study of Data Processing is supported by 35 com- panies, organizations and governmen- tal agencies, providing them with leadership and professional develop- ment in computer and informative systems. The Construction Manage- ment Center serves a similar purpose for the many regional construction and engineering firms that support it.

"These centers are in the fore- front of their respective technolo- gies," said Benson. "Their corporate members benefit from advanced pro- grams, and their staffs are exposed to the latest and best technologies and

'Circa 1945'

Exhibit honors St. Louis painters active in the 1940s "Circa 1945," an exhibition orga- nized to honor six St. Louis painters who were active in the 1940s, opens Sunday, March 30, in Bixby Gallery, Bixby Hall. The artists are Kenneth E. Hudson, Anne Lehmann, Catherine E. Milovich, Jane Pettus, Aimee Schweig and Wallace Herndon Smith.

An artists' reception will be from 3 to 5 p.m. March 30. The exhibit runs through April 20. The curator is Judy Bettendorf, an alumna of the School of Fine Arts, assisted by Grace Ferguson, a School of Fine Arts grad- uate student.

Hudson, dean of WU's School of Fine Arts from 1938 until his retire- ment in 1969, lives in University City. Lehmann painted with a group of artists in Webster Groves, includ- ing her mentor, the late Fred Con- way, a former School of Fine Arts professor; she lives in Ladue. Milo- vich, a professor in the School of Fine Arts at Southern Illinois Univer- sity-Edwardsville from 1959 until her retirement in 1976, lives in Creve Coeur.

Pettus, also influenced by Con- way, painted with the "Friday Group" in the Central West End; she lives in Brentwood. Schwieg, an art teacher at Mary Institute for 25 years, lives in the Central West End. In addition to Smith's nearly 50-year career as an artist, he wrote the mu- sical "Drake's Drum" and the song "Ships That Pass in the Night"; he lives in Ladue.

All of the painters may be de- scribed as "modernists." Their sub- jects range from abstract composi- tions and still lifes to landscapes and portraits. Their diversity is character- istic of the time period.

After World War II, America ex- perienced an economic upsurge and psychological turbulence that dra- matically affected the American art scene. The "art boom," launched in 1945, allowed American artists to emerge from a market dominated by European traditions and evolve their

2 own native painting styles.

In their long careers as artists, the painters experienced the emer- gence of social realism and American scene painting in the 1930s and the allegorical or religious themes of Max Beckmann, Philip Guston and Stephen Greene in the 1940s. Their interest and concern with the inter- national ideas current in the contem- porary art scene were discussed avid- ly in art organizations such as the St. Louis Artists' Guild and its offspring, Group 15, which was founded to foster and promote modern painting.

The reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. For more information, call 889-6597.

Student engineers get cracking for annual egg drop More than two dozen engineering students are expected to go to extra- ordinary lengths to keep from crack- ing up at the annual Engineer's Weekend Spring Egg Drop Competi- tion at WU. The contest, a traditional harbinger of spring, will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 6, at Shepley Resi- dence Hall.

Described in past years as "a showcase for the engineers of tomor- row" and "yeeech . . . disgusting," the egg drop caps a weekend of events sponsored by the Engineer's Council of WU and AT&T.

For the contest, students must design a container no larger than one cubic foot that protects a raw egg from successive falls from heights of up to 12 stories.

Cash prizes are awarded in three categories: slowest descent, best engineering design, and crowd ap- peal. Previous designs have included parachutes, paper wings, water bal- loons, blueberry yogurt, honey, rub- ber chickens and aerodynamically- padded teddy bears.

Yolanda King, the eldest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., will be the keynote speaker for the 16th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium at WU, March 31 to April 3.

The actress and civil rights acti- vist will lecture at 11 a.m. Wednes- day, April 2, in Graham Chapel. Her lecture is titled "A Dream Deferred: America's Civil Rights Movement Past, Present and Future."

King has a bachelor's degree in theater and African and Afro-Ameri- can studies from Smith College in Northampton, Mass. She has a mas- ter's of fine arts degree from New York University. Her film credits in- clude the role of Rosa Parks in "King," an NBC made-for-television movie, and the role of Betty Shabazz in "The Death of a Prophet," a public television movie about Mal- colm X.

With Malcolm X's eldest daugh- ter, Attallah Shabazz, King co-directs Nucleus, a company of performing artists dedicated to promoting hu- manitarian themes. The company tours high schools and colleges throughout the country. Nucleus is now touring an original production called "Stepping Into Tomorrow."

She regards her work in theater as a continuation of her father's human rights efforts. "While it is im- perative to actively challenge the forces that deny human beings their right to a decent life, one must also stimulate and alter the hearts and minds of both the privileged and those who have been too long denied," she says. "Within the arts lies this power."

The Martin Luther King Jr. Sym- posium is a four-day event designed to promote the philosophy of the slain civil rights leader. The theme is

"Beyond the Mountaintop." The Association of Black Stu-

dents (ABS) will sponsor a rededica- tion ceremony at 3 p.m. Monday, March 31, in the ABS lounge of the Women's Building. Following the ceremony, ABS members will release balloons in the quadrangle.

A "Creative Potpourri" will be presented at 7 p.m. March 31 in The Gargoyle. The potpourri will feature music by the University's Black Rep- ertory Choir and an awards cere- mony for winners of the "Unsung Black Heroes" essay contest for ele- mentary, middle and high school stu- dents.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, a film titled "Brown Sugar's Part II — The Harlem Renaissance" will be shown in Room 201, Crow Hall. Stephen A. Carey, visiting instructor in African and Afro-American Studies, will moderate a discussion after the movie.

The Black Theatre Workshop of WU will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 2 in the Drama Studio, 208 Mallin- ckrodt Center.

The symposium ends Thursday, April 3, with "Gospel Choir Night," featuring visiting choirs from several area churches. The event will be at 7:30 p.m. in Graham Chapel.

All activities are free and open to the public. For information about the lecture, call 889-4620. For informa- tion about other symposium events, call 889-5970.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Sym- posium is sponsored by the Associa- tion of Black Students, Assembly Series, Student Union, Student Educa- tional Service and African and Afro- American Studies, with support from the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.

Overpass eliminates traffic woes Now that the Millbrook pedestrian overpass is completed, Suzie S. Pelis- sier has shed her paranoia over cross- ing the busy boulevard.

"It was difficult for Millbrook pedestrians because there's so much traffic," says Pelissier, a WU junior in Arts & Sciences, originally from Big Horn, Wyo. "I often felt that the cars were out to get me."

The overpass, which is approxi- mately 155 feet long, is located on Millbrook between the Cyclotron and the Radiochemistry Building. It opened March 14.

Employees from Triad Construc- tion Inc. in Hazelwood began work- ing on the project in November. The walkway is a joint project of the Uni- versity and St. Louis County.

"The Millbrook crossing elimi- nates traffic woes for WU students, faculty and staff," says Joe F. Evans, associate vice chancellor for business affairs.

Peter L. Smith, a first-year gradu- ate student in biochemistry at the medical school, lives near the over- pass and has taken advantage of it since it opened.

"I love the walkway; it's rather neat looking," says Smith, who uses the path to get to the WU shuttle bus stop. "Before the overpass opened, crossing Millbrook was like being in a zoo — intense traffic, busy construc- tion workers and an incredibly slow

traffic light. "But traveling in the area is

more convenient now," says Smith, of Cedar Falls, Iowa. "Tell the ad- ministration thanks."

Visiting artist directs Bi-State bus decoration A New York artist specializing in "transportation art" is the WU Louis D. Beaumont Visiting Artist this spring in the School of Fine Arts. Joyce Kozloff has installed ceramic tile murals in airports, subway sta- tions or train terminals in five major United States cities since 1979.

Several events are planned to co- incide with her visit.

She will give a slide presentation on her work at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 2, at Steinberg Auditorium, Steinberg Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.

To culminate a School of Fine Arts mini-course on public art, Koz- loff will direct her students as they paint panels on Bi-State buses. One of the decorated vehicles then will carry participants in a traveling art party on May 11, beginning at the

Serra sculpture downtown and end- ing at Laumeier Sculpture Park in Sunset Hills.

The artist juried an exhibit titled "About Place," on display through April 12, at First Street Forum, 717 N. First St. The opening reception was Sunday, March 23. The exhibit features new proposals by St. Louis artists for public works of art in St. Louis.

Kozloff was honored March 20 at a lunch sponsored by Downtown St. Louis Inc. at the Missouri Athletic Club. An evening reception, hosted by Citizens for Modern Transit and the School of Fine Arts, will be held in her honor on April 3, at Mark Twain St. Louis Bank.

Student Life hosts workshop One hundered high school students and several prominent St. Louis jour- nalists will converge on the WU cam- pus Saturday, April 5, for Journalism Workshop '86.

Student Life, WU's 107-year-old student newspaper, is sponsoring a series of seminars designed especially for area high school students inter- ested in pursuing a career in journal- ism.

"Like many college newspapers, we would like to provide an oppor- tunity for high school students to learn more about the media from professional journalists," said James T. Madore, director of the workshop and co-editor-in-chief of Student Life.

The workshop will consist of a series of seminars, with area journal- ists covering aspects of reporting, photography, layout and design, and writing.

Staff members of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Globe-

Democrat and KSDK-Channel 5 have been asked to speak about their pro- fession. Many of the seminar instruc- tors have long tenures in the media and have taught courses in University College, WU's evening division.

"Many members of the Student Life staff, when they were in high school, attended similar workshops," said Madore. "They met profes- sionals, and their interest grew as a result. We learned a great deal from those workshops. Student Life would like to provide an opportunity for high school students to do the same."

Journalism Workshop '86 will be from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Ridgley, January and Cupples I halls. WU and area high school students interested in attending can register at Student Life, Karl Umrath Hall, or by calling 889-5941. The $3 registration fee must be received by April 1.
