Editor's Note: Tanya is a work-studystudent in Information Services andMedia Relations and will be a junior atthe University of Colorado this fall,majoring in anthropology and journalism.

What do a meteorologist, aclassical pianist, and a hiker have incommon with an atmospheric re-search facility? They are this year'sdiverse group of undergraduatestudents participating in the SummerEmployment Program (SEP) atNCAR. SEP encourages undergradu-ate minority students to get involvedin science beyond the collegiate arena.In fact, this year four students havemade firm commitments to attendgraduate school as a result of SEP.

The future meteorologist, KathyCaesar, works at the State Universityof New York at Brockport as a super-visor of academic computing servicesand is pursuing undergraduatedegrees in meteorology and math-ematics. Her experiences working onthe Convection and Precipitation/

Phuong is a graduating senior atthe University of SouthwesternLouisiana, majoring in computerscience. His involvement with SEP isa step closer "to doing something incomputer science and not just some-thing anyone else could do."Phuong's SEP project deals withOptimal Thermal Interrelation Systemsoftware. Through his love forcomputers, Phuong picks up com-puter languages quickly. This is hisfirst opportunity to work with FOR-TRAN.

As Phuong speaks, his excite-ment about the future is palpable.Disciplines such as "making goodgrades" in high school, "stayingserious about school," and "limitedpartying" have brought him aninternship for the fall in Tennesseeinvolving computer programmingand artificial intelligence work. Withthe doors of opportunity openingwide, "having the feeling of beingwanted is great."

tions Program (RAP), which comple-ment her meteorology major at theState University of New York atOswego.

The NCAR experience for AlaneAllman means working with theelements of her career plans-law andthe environment. A graduating seniorat Howard University, Alane bringsher interests to bear on a project she isdoing with Kathy Miller of theEnvironmental and Societal ImpactsGroup. Her project involvesproposing strategies for nativeAfrican women to prevent environ-mental degradation caused byovercultivation of the land. She feelsstrongly about the plight of Africanwomen left by their tribal mates toraise families virtually alone. Hersolution includes simple ways topromote agricultural grassrootsmovements.

Colorado resident Beth Hobsonstarted her academic career at Colo-rado State University as a major inengineering science and continued atthe University of Colorado as anaerospace engineer, but engineeringwas not for her. She transferred toMetropolitan State College in Denverand made the change to meteorology.Beth remembers being "interested insevere weather as a child." In her highschool yearbook Beth was noted asbeing "the only future meteorologistwho could shoot a jumpshot."

The Thunderstorm WeatherProject Beth is working on at RAPallows her to apply what she haslearned in class to research. In herNCAR project, she works extensivelywith radiosondes. In comparing themeteorological tools available atschool with those at NCAR, she says,"the school's instruments are not asextensive or as modern as the onesused here," and continues, "forhands-on experience, this is all new."Beth has "learned from [her] collegecareer to stop and listen to [yourself]and then go on." She plans to "go on"by continuing her research for RAP inthe fall.

Julie Huang, a system engineer-ing major at the University of Califor-nia, San Diego, and Amy Wong, acomputer science and mathematicsmajor at the University of California,Los Angeles, had not met each otherbefore this summer. Both agree thatBoulder is pleasantly enjoyable and"totally different" from California.(They recently discovered the onlybeach in Boulder, the Boulder Reser-voir.) Julie's project has given her theopportunity to take a class outliningthe basic operations of the NCARsupercomputer system. Amy workedon a project involving Unidata clients.

Kay Kim, originally from Okla-homa, studies electrical engineering atCornell University. Kay's interests liein image processing. Being at NCARallows her to see how people use the"applications of radar stuff" throughthe Hawaiian Rainband Project(HaRP). She comments that she wascompletely computer illiterate beforecoming to NCAR but has learned a lotthis summer. She hopes to use herSEP experiences working for acinematic special effects company.

Influenced by his father, MichaelMartinez chose a degree path in mathand physics. He is attending the NewMexico Institute of Technology and isstill trying to decide whether to applyhis degree to engineering, industry, ordefense contracting. Michael isworking on the CRAY Library StackVariables Project in the ScientificComputing Division.

Elisabeth Yap is an earth andplanetary sciences major at HarvardUniversity. She specifically wants tostudy the atmosphere and oceans.Like Alane, Liz wants to go intoenvironmental law. Liz's projectinvolves validating data gatheredfrom Atmosphere-Surface TurbulentExchange Research readings. Aftershe completes her degree at Harvard,she would like to join the Peace Corpsor travel before deciding on whichgraduate school or law school toattend.

Melissa Thomas probably sumsup the experience of all the SEPstudents best when she says, "It hasbeen a real learning experience. Notonly has it opened the door for us, ithas put us halfway through."

SCD Offers Two New Classes

UNIX BasicsAre you looking for a quick and

effective way to get started on UNIX?The Scientific Computing Division(SCD) is offering two UNIX Basicsclasses in August and September thatwill cover directory structure, filemanipulation, I/O redirection, basiccommands, e-mail, the vi editor, shellscripts (.login, .cshrc, and .profile),and aliasing.

Each hands-on class will bespread over two partial days to avoidinformation overload. The first willbe Wednesday-Thursday,14-15 August, 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m.The second will be at the same timeon Wednesday-Thursday,11-12 September.

The UNIX Basics classes aredesigned for all users who want tolearn beginning UNIX. There is noCRAY-specific information in theseclasses. Class size is limited to tenparticipants (two per terminal).

UNICOS OrientationSCD's one-day orientation class

introduces new users to UNIX/UNICOS programming tools and theNCAR computing environment. Ifyou have a new account on NCAR'sCRAY Y-MP8/864 (Shavano) and abasic knowledge of UNIX but don'tknow where to start, this class is foryou. Class size is limited to 12participants.

To register for either class, callthe SCD course enrollment line, ext.1225, or send e-mail [email protected]. Both classesare free.

Where's the Beer? Triumphs--Twice

Where's the Beer? won a double-header over Exabyte 16-12 and 19-13.In the first game, Scott Paswaters andVic Pizzo both blasted home runs togive Beer? an early 11-1 lead, buttradition held up and Beer? blew thelead. Wes Wildcat entered the gameas pitcher and shut out Exabyte untilthey scored a home run. Later hemade up for it with a game-winningdouble that allowed Greg Woods toscore.

In the second game, Beer? fellbehind early but erupted for 16 runsin two innings as Vic Pizzo hit an-other home run. Early in the game,Julie Sundquist had control problemswhile pitching but settled down tohold the lead. Julie Chapin and PattiParisi kept the rally going by makingseveral hits. Where's the Beer? willplay again today at 6:45 p.m. atMapleton Fields. Their last game ofthe year will be on Sunday, 11 Au-gust, at 5:45 p.m., also at MapletonFields.

For Voice Mail Training, Press "0"

This month, NCAR's telephonesystem enters a new era with theintroduction of a voice mail system.Voice mail is an extension of thefamiliar answering machine. With it,staff can record messages and sendthem to others within the UCAR/NCAR network. They can access theirtelephone messages from anywhere inthe world. The system has a numberof other capabilities that cut down onthe flow of routine paperwork andstreamline the dissemination ofinformation.

Participation in the new voicemail system is optional. Staff willbecome part of it as soon as theyattend one of the short training classesthat run 19-26 August. Class sched-ules have been distributed to all staff.To register, call the NCAR operators.For further information on the voicemail system, call Harry Hiebert,ext. 1121.
