Odyssey Project: Sarantis Symeonoglou, associate professor of art and archaeology (center), reported in a public lecture Nov. 4 in Steinberg Auditorium the results of his first expedition to Ithaka this summer to search for the home of Odysseus. The archaeologist said he and his team found the remains of a 400-square-fqot Mycenaean settlement (from Odysseus' era) halfway up Mount Aetos. They were led to the site by a shepherd who had asked them if they wanted to see the place where his goats kept falling into a hole. Fast explorations for the Greek hero's home had been con- ducted either at the top or bottom of the mountain. Pointing to an outline of the settlement during his lecture. Symeonoglou said. "In that rectangle I am convinced that we can find the home of Odysseus." Pictured at one of the excavation sites this summer are. from left: Mary Lou Roussel, Nikos Kandiliotis (a local guard). Ariana Pherentinou. Symeonoglou. Amada Slavin. Dina Weisberger. Rheba Symeonoglou. Bill Blanchard and Michael Voligny. The archaeologist will return next summer to continue the Odyssey Project, which is funded in part by the National Geographic Society.
Biology of Dementia Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist gives McDonnell lecture on dementia One of the world's most remarkable neuroscientists, D. Carleton Gaj- dusek, M.D., will deliver the third James S. McDonnell Lecture Tuesday, Nov. 27, at WU.
Gajdusek's public lecture, "The Viral Etiology of Dementia," will be- gin at 8 p.m. in Graham Chapel. He is the keynote speaker for the second McDonnell Conference on Higher Brain Function. The two-day confer- ence, titled "Biology of Dementia," is sponsored by the McDonnell Cen- ter for Studies of Higher Brain Func- tion at the School of Medicine.
During the conference, scientists from throughout the world will ex- amine recent research findings on dementia, deterioration of intellec- tual function due to organic factors.
For information on the confer- ence and speakers, see page 3
Gajdusek is chief of the Labora- tory of Central Nervous System Studies, National Institute of Neuro- logical and Communicative Disorders and Stroke, at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He was co-recipient
of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1976, receiving the award for his investigation for almost 20 years of the cause of kuru, a fatal
Black Caucus selects Patton for lecture series Gerald W. Patton, director of the Black Studies Program and assistant professor of history at WU, has been selected by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) to partici- pate in its Distinguished Scholars Lecture Series.
The announcement was made by Marsha Coleman, senior research analyst of CBCF, and Jerome Williams, administrative assistant on behalf of Rep. William Clay, D-Mo.
Patton's lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be given at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18, in the Kniep Courtroom (Room 109), St. Louis University School of Law, 3700 Lindell Blvd. He will talk on "The Historical Antecedents of Domestic Surveillance and Intelligence Activity in the Black Community."
Patton, whose research focuses on the history of Afro-Americans in the 20th century, is the author of War and Race: The Black Officer in the American Military 1915-1941. He earned a doctorate in history from the University of Iowa. He re- ceived a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funded the research of his up- coming lecture.
The Distinguished Scholars Lec- ture Series is designed to forge closer bonds of communication between the black academic community and members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). The series also presents a forum where lecturers can suggest and define future legislative policy directions to members of the CBC, the CBC community and the public.
Other participants in the series have included historian John Hope Franklin, sociologist Joyce Ladner and economist David Swinton.

neurological disorder killing the Fore people of New Guinea.
Kuru's effects include shivering- like tremors, incoordination, increas- ing motor weakness, dementia and death. Gajdusek traced the origin of the disease to the ritual of cannibal- ism, practiced by the Fore people as a mark of respect for the dead. Even- tually, he and his colleagues learned that kuru is caused by a slow virus, a viral particle requiring an incubation that can last several years.
Because of the work of Gajdusek and his colleagues, scientists now know that other chronic neurological disorders of humans are caused by the multiplication of slow viruses, sometimes many years after the ini- tial infection. In the late 1960s, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease was shown to be caused by a slow virus-like agent. That finding has significant implications for a number of neuro- degenerative diseases that involve dementia.

Author Barthelme to read from his recent works Donald Barthelme, American short story writer and novelist, will read from his recent works at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, in Graham Chapel.
His talk is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Uni- versity's Assembly Series.
In his writings, Barthelme ex- plores the possibilities and restric- tions of language and its uses. His surrealistic work lacks plot, charac- terization and point of view as each is traditionally used in fiction. By using familiar language in unfamiliar ways, the author forces people to fo- cus on his words, questioning their meanings.
Best known for his short stories, the author primarily writes about private tragedy resulting from emo- tional defeat.
Barthelme's short stories include View of My Father Weeping, Robert Kennedy Sa red from Drowning and Bishop. He is a frequent contributor to The New Yorker.
PAA presents drama of Nazi persecution in labor camp The Performing Arts Area at WU will present the premiere production of "Swan Song" at 8 p.m. Nov. 16, 17 and 18, and at 4 p.m. Nov. 18, in the Drama Studio, Room 208, Mallin- ckrodt Center.
"Swan Song," written by Dean Mendell, a WU doctoral candidate, was a winner in the 1984 St. Louis Playwrights' Festival. The production is supported by the A.E. Hotchner Play Production Fund, a gift from Hotchner, author and University alumnus, and actor Paul Newman.
The drama takes place in a Nazi slave labor camp. It concerns a famous ballet dancer who, when wrenched from the cultural elite and thrown into the madness of her new
environment, is still determined to survive on her own terms. Play- wright Mendell, also a teaching assistant in the University's English department, has based much of "Swan Song" on actual experiences of victims of Nazi persecution.
Stefan Fitterman, a graduate of Adelphi University in New York, is director of the production. A native St. Louisan, he spent the past two years in Poland and Yugoslavia ap- prenticing in the theatre. His work in Eastern Europe was supported by two Fulbright-Hays research grants.
Tickets are $2 at the door. For more information or reservations, call the Edison Theatre box office at 889-6543.
Pianist performs Schubert's works Pianist Anton Kuerti will perform a recital of Schubert's works at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, in WU's Edison Theatre. At 5 p.m. that day, he will present a lecture, which is free and open to the public, in Edison Thea- tre.
Born in Vienna, Kuerti emigrated to the United States at an early age and studied with musicians Arthur Loesser, Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Rudolf Serkin.
At age 11, he played his first im- portant concert — the Grieg Con- certo with Arthur Fiedler — and rose to prominence a few years later when he won the prestigious Leven- tritt Award. Since then, he has toured 25 countries and performed with the majority of North America's most famous conductors and orches- tras.
His repertoire includes 35 con- certi by 12 composers. His records of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin and others have been called "unsurpassable indeed" by High Fidelity magazine.
Tickets are $8 general admission; $5 for WU faculty and staff, and area students; and $4 for WU students. All seating is reserved. For more infor- mation, call the box office at 889-6543.

Scientists gather for McDonnell Conference Outstanding scientists from through- out the world will meet Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 27-28, at WU to examine findings of the most recent research on the nature of dementia, deterioration of intellectual function due to organic factors.
The scientists will gather for the second McDonnell Conference on Higher Brain Function, which this year is titled "Biology of Dementia." Presentations will concentrate pri- marily on discoveries related to Alz- heimer's disease and other dementing illnesses.
The meeting is sponsored by the McDonnell Center for Studies of Higher Brain Function at WU's School of Medicine. The conference is second in a series that periodically brings together the world's finest sci- entists to share advances in various fields of brain research. This is a sequel to the first McDonnell Confer- ence on Higher Brain Function, held in 1982 to study Biology of Memory.
D. Carleton Gajdusek, M.D., will deliver the James S. McDonnell Lec- ture, scheduled for 8 p.m. Nov. 27 in Graham Chapel. Gajdusek, chief of the Laboratory of Central Nervous System Studies at the National Insti- tutes of Health (NIH), shared the 1976 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discovering slow vir- uses, a new class of transmissible virus-like agents. It is now known that slow viruses, many years after the initial infection, can cause such neurodegenerative disorders in hu- mans as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
In addition to Gajdusek, nine other noted scientists will discuss their work during the conference, to be held in Moore Auditorium at the medical school. Their research inter- ests range from brain transplantation, to neurobiological and behavioral de- velopment, to the chemistry of the brain.
Speakers at the conference will include:
Paul R. Adams, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology and behavior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook;
Anders Bjorklund, M.D., profes- sor of histology at the University of Lund in Sweden;
Leslie L. Iversen, Ph.D., execu- tive director of the Neuroscience Re- search Center at Merck, Sharp and Dohme Ltd., in the United Kingdom;
Susan D. Iversen, Ph.D., director of behavioral pharmacology at the Neuroscience Research Center at Merck, Sharp and Dohme Ltd., in the United Kingdom;
Joseph B. Martin, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the neurology service at Massachusetts General Hospital and Julieanne Dorn Professor of Neurol- ogy at Harvard Medical School;
Ronald W. Oppenheim, Ph.D., professor of anatomy at Bowman Gray Medical School, Wake Forest University;
Donald L. Price, M.D., professor of pathology, neurology and neuro- science at the Johns Hopkins Univer- sity School of Medicine;
Stanley B. Prusiner, M.D., profes- sor of neurology at the University of California-San Francisco and profes- sor of virology in residence at the University of California School of Public Health in Berkeley;
And Hans Thoenen, M.D., pro- fessor of neurochemistry at the Max- Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany.
The McDonnell Center for Stud- ies of Higher Brain Function was es- tablished at WU in June 1980 through a gift of $55 million from the McDonnell Foundation. Earlier this year, the foundation announced that it will continue its support of the center's brain research through another $5 million gift. The center's mission is to provide the resources and environment for an interdis- ciplinary approach to understanding the brain's function.
Geriatric social work develops here Joel Leon, assistant professor in WU's George Warren Brown School of Social Work, recently received a grant from the Administration of Ag- ing to develop a curriculum and train students in the new field of geriatric- social work practice.
It is projected that by the year 2020, 45 million people in the coun- try will be 65 or older. Leon said his goal is to help produce the first geri- atric social workers with the skills and knowledge to go into private practice with the fastest growing seg- ment of the population.
Leon said that as more women enter the work force and more fam- ilies relocate, a gap in the care for the elderly develops. Older parents, he said, no longer can depend on their children for immediate support. The geriatric case practitioner would be trained to focus on improving self-care and home maintenance for the elderly.
The training program is the first of its kind in the country and is ex- pected to serve as a model for the development of similar programs na- tionwide. The grant includes some tuition support for six students inter-
ested in the program, which begins in January 1985- For more informa- tion, call Joel Leon at 889-6682.
Goldman Fund donates listening system to Edison An Infrared Listening System design- ed for persons with hearing disabil- ities recently was installed in WU's Edison Theatre. The purchase and in- stallation of the components were made possible by the Irving and Bea- trice Goldman Charitable Annuity Fund.
Goldman, who resides with his wife in Miami, Fla., is the brother of Sadye Goldman Edison, whose gener- osity to the University provided for the building of Edison Theatre.
The system will allow individ- uals seated anywhere in the theatre to hear a performance with increased intelligibility and amplification through a wireless, lightweight head- set that can be worn with or without a hearing aid.
Head coach Mark Edwards preps the basketball team for another season.
Basketball team prepares for season Several outstanding newcomers join 15 returning lettermen this season as WU's men's basketball team prepares for 1984-85. With a large nucleus re- turning, head coach Mark Edwards is anxious for the cage season to begin.
"There are several seniors who have been with us since the basket- ball program was revitalized four years ago and they are excited about their final season," Edwards said.
"The number of players involved with our program also is at a four- year high and as a result, practices have been very competitive."
Top statistical returnees for WU are Quincy, 111., products Mark Spar- row and Scott Allen. Sparrow, 6-3 junior guard-forward, led the Bears in scoring in 1983-84 with a 12.8 points per game (ppg) average while Allen, 6-1 senior guard, finished second to Sparrow at an 8.4 ppg clip. Allen was also the assist leader for WU with an average of just over three per game.
Senior Fred Amos, Chicago, 111., and junior Anders Onarheim, Asker, Norway, have returned this season for the Bears. Amos, 6-6 forward,
was injured for a large part of last season and elected not to complete the 1983-84 season, but has rejoined the club this year. Prior to his injury, Amos averaged 13.6 ppg and 6.6 re- bounds per game in 1983-84.
Edwards and his staff feel they had their best recruiting year, snag- ging several high school all-staters and all-district selections from across the country. Two St. Louis area cagers, Rob Bloemker, Highland, 111., and Kevin Suiter, DeSmet High School, join the Bears and both were 18-point scorers at the prep level and participants in various high school all-star contests. Mark Kemna, another local recruit, from St. Charles, was the biggest prize size- wise for the Battling Bears at 6-9.
WU's home opener will take place in the new WU Fieldhouse and will showcase the WU Lopata Classic. This extravaganza will feature MIT, Cal Tech, and Johns Hopkins. The event takes place Nov. 30-Dec. 1 and will follow the Bears season opener at MacMurray College on Nov. 17, and the Ohio Wesleyan Tournament in Delaware, Ohio, on Nov. 23-24.
