Graduates given message to participate as leaders
Pointing to leadership and participat ion as keys to success and personal fu l f i l lment, the speakers at summer commencement Aug. 2 challenged graduates to reach out and become involved.
The two -- Dr. James L. Schott and Dr. Gordon H. Mil lar -- each stressed the importance of giving as wel l as getting in chosen careers. Schott is superintendent of Orange County Schools. Millar, now living in Daytona Beach, is a retired executive wi th Deere & Company who is widely known for his interest in engineering education.
".. .My personal hope...is that somehow you'll f ind it in your hearts and in your minds...to take a more active leadership role in all that you do, as a parent, a businessman, a philosopher ...whatever it is. Become more involved. Participate," Schott told his audience.
"Try to understand and appreciate your own values and beliefs...to come to grips wi th what you believe and what you value. We have to give; to get outside ourselves and give. Care enough about the problem that we see to try and do something about it..."
Millar, whose background in research and corporate life has taken him to corners of the wor ld, also voiced concern for the nation's business posture internationally, and a need for a unif ied effort by business and engineering to regain "a rightful place in the global markets...which we once dominated.
"The wor ld which you now enter is increasingly more complex and it is no longer a viable option that any element of our industrial wor ld can operate wi thout the close and intimate association w i th all other elements which make up our social, political and industrial system," he declared.
He urged that graduates in business develop an understanding and sensitivity of the scientific wor ld about them, and those in engineering consider their
profession as one of the humanit ies, "w i th a broad role of applying the very powerful forces of nature to the broadest of human need." .

Linda Browning to lead Staff Council in '86-87 Staff Council completed its reorgani
zation on July 30 w i th the election of officers from among representatives chosen earlier in a mail ballot by University Support System employees.
Linda J. Browning, personnel technician II, was elected to preside over council meetings for 1986-87. Fran White, administrative assistant I, Engineering, was elected vice chairperson. Flo Glazier, Library technical assistant II, was named secretary.
Carol Surles, associate vice president for Human Resources and sponsor of
the council , told members at the meeting that theirs was the last surviving staff council in the State University System.
She assured them that she believes in the council and encouraged them to be more vocal, advising that they could count on the support of the new director of personnel and the University's administrat ion.
Browning stated that support personnel must become more active and assume a greater share of the responsi
bility in attaining the Path to Excellence that has been established by legislation for UCF and all state universities.
"The Staff Council cannot be effective representatives of USPS wi thout input from all employees. I urge all employees to share their ideas wi th their representatives on the council . I think it is important that we, as a body, make our concerns known to the administ rat ion," she said.
Browning succeeded Renee Simpson who became chairperson when Marti
. 'fi,
Lyons left the University last December. Browning first became a UCF
employee in 1978, then left in 1981 to assume a position in personnel at Sun-land Center. She returned to the University in 1984, partly for long-range plans to seek a higher degree. She holds a bachelor's in English from Bethune-Cookman College and taught in public schools before she became a state employee in 1972.
"I am looking forward to working wi th the council and making this another successful year," Browning said.

Science brings the world together
East is meeting West over lasers at UCF The sights and sounds of the World's
Most Famous Beach and Spring Break '86 wi l l forever dwel l in the memories of Changshou He and Kohichi Tanguchi.
It's not that the two engineers are gadabouts. Far from it. The greater part of each day is spent studying or working wi th their UCF hosts in research projects that attracted them to the campus in the first place.
For He the opportunity to spend 18 months at UCF as a research associate is that once-in-a-l i fet ime break. As a research engineer wi th the Chengdu Engine Company, located in China's mountainous Sichuan province, he brings a record of achievement in experimental mechanics since graduating in 1970 from the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Tanguchi, an engineer w i th the giant Japanese Hitachi electronics corporat ion, concentrates on optical communication, an interest that brought him to UCF last August for a one-year stay. " I read papers by Dr. (Ron) Phillips, and wrote, asking if there was a chance I could join him here," Tanguchi said. Several letters later, w i th the blessings of management in hand, he arrived at the University, and currently is assisting the research team put together.by Phillips (Electrical Engineering) and Bill Oelfke (Physics) to work in UCF's innovative Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers (CREOL).
He spends a great deal of his t ime working w i th Faissal Moslehy, of Mechanical Engineering, also a member

He and Tanguch i are professional engineers in their nat ive China and J a p a n , and are on leaves of absence as associates w i t h U C F ' s Center for Research in E lect ro-Opt ics and Lasers.
of the CREOL Team. As did Tanguchi, he discovered UCF in reading scientific articles. A letter to department chairman Stephen Rice brought "an instant reply," he recalled. Though he wrote to other schools, "UCF seemed to have
Persistence in curriculum pays off at commencement
what I wan ted . " He arrived in mid-February, and since then has concentrated on learning his way around microcomputers.
The 39-year-old noted that computers made in China and used by most companies there, including his own , "are not so good," whi le those used by uni versities in his country are much better. "They come from the States," he grinned.
The two visitors live in the same Orlando apartment house, which they have dubbed a UN of sorts. Besides Chinese and Japanese residents, the place is also home to a Vietnamese, Nigerian, and American. Tanguchi, now the possessor of a driver's license, serves as chauffeur. Asked if he drives a Japanese car, he could only chuckle: "They cost too much here! " He settled for a Chevy Chevette.
He would relish the opportunity to bring Florida weather to Sichuan province which he describes as wet and cold in winter; hot and humid in summer. As there is no central heating, nor air condit ioning, it remains up to the individual to engineer his own comfort. "We have a lot of fans, " he laughed.
The factory in Chengdu is unusual by Western standards. The more than 10,000 employees make everything from airplane engines to noodle-making machines. A brochure he carried depicts a diversity of other products: washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, motorcycles—and lasers.
Tanguchi, 33, who received his masters degree from Kobe University in 1978, observed that Japanese industry, unlike counterparts in the U.S., never has layoffs. "They may change some jobs, but never let anyone go. " A lifet ime career is exactly what it implies. He took his leave of absence from Hitachi " to f ind out for myself " w h a t research is being done in his area of expertise. He wi l l return home this summer.
As for He, who wi l l be at UCF for another 16 months, there wel l may be another Spring Break in his future.
An 8-year quest ended August 2 when Barbara Mil ls crossed the stage to receive her UCF diploma.
The sociology degree, earned in what she describes as " f i ts and star ts" since she began classes at UCF in 1978, is the frosting on the cake for the ebullient mother of three, who for the past three years has worked ful l t ime as a substance abuse counselor.
Her UCF studies began when she moved to Orlando after completing associate degrees in a "displaced homemaker" program she had entered at Brevard Community College fol lowing a divorce. " I felt I needed more education in order to become a professional in the area of human services," she explained.
A year later, working part-t ime on campus aided by a scholarship and a second job, Mil ls applied for a fel lowship wi th the Orange County community affairs department that soon found her managing the East Orange Community Center ful l t ime and launching a much needed bus service for area residents f rom Goldenrod Road to Christmas.
In her current job w i th the Orange County court alternatives department Mills, 4 1 , is responsible for an average of 65 clients who have been selected to take part in the pre-trial diversion program for f i rst-t ime offenders, which is similar to probation, complete wi th a signed contract. Her cl ients have ranged in age from 12 to 9 1 . Her interest is personal as wel l as professional. Brought up in a family in which some members were alcoholics, she saw first-hand the effect of abuse on users and non-users alike.
Her work schedule over the past three years created a fragmented class schedule at UCF. Trying to fit necessary courses into a ful l t ime job called for creativity. One semester she would go
B A R B A R A M I L L S
to work at 7 a.m., scoot out to campus for a noontime class, then back to work. Other times she had early morning or evening classes. " I thought I'd never make i t ," she confessed. She gives much of the credit for completing her degree to Dr. Charles Unkovic, veteran sociologist on the UCF faculty, "who just wouldn' t let me quit. He provided a lot of moral support when I needed i t . "
This very busy professional spends her hours away from job and college working side-by-side wi th husband Harold on their new 2,500-square foot home off Lake Charm in Oviedo. "We're doing just about everything

In her typical upbeat style, she's looking forward to a future fi l led wi th more challenges. Whi le her work as a counselor brings the satisfaction that goes

Universities warn students of drug abuse
%*r
Florida's nine state universities issued a statement last week warning students not to use illegal drugs, on campus or off campus, and to comply w i th state law regarding the use of alcohol.
The statement, released by Dr. Charles B. Reed, Chancellor, and the
presidents of the nine state universities, cited health risks posed by the use of illegal drugs, particularly certain forms of cocaine.
Dr. Reed said, "The national problem w i th drug abuse, especially 'crack' cocaine, must be confronted head-on. We strongly urge students to recognize four facts:
1. There is clear medical evidence that drug abuse interferes wi th
the intellectual processes required to succeed academically.
2. Drug abuse poses numerous threats to human health, and can even kil l, as recent events have made painfully clear.
3. Using or selling illegal drugs is a crime. Committ ing this crime can terminate a student's university
education, through incarceration or disciplinary action by the university. Such disciplinary action
may include suspension or dismissal f rom the university.
4 The State University System routinely cooperates wi th law enforcement authorit ies in matters involving criminal statutes This
cooperation specifically extends to the issue of drug and alcohol abuse
"For these reasons, the State University System of Florida strongly urges students not to become involved wi th illegal drugs, and to keep the use of
alcohol w i th in the bounds of good sense, and wi th in the law." Dr Reed said. "For the sake of your health, your mind and your future, say no to drugs "
Family orientation heralds fall term
Parents and spouses of UCF freshmen are invited to attend an

Jewett Clinic to treat UCF's 300 athletes
A Winter Park-based orthopaedic clinic has been chosen by the University as medical consultant to the Athlet ic Department.
Under the agreement, Jewett Ortho-peadic Clinic surgeons wi l l treat every orthopaedic injury suffered by the more than 300 athletes at UCF. Jewett physicians wi l l be on the field during home football games and they also wi l l travel w i th the team, said Gene McDowel l , head football coach and athletic director.
"We chose them because they are interested in sports and because the clinic has so many specialists on staff that there's not an injury that could occur on the field that the doctors couldn't take care of," McDowel l said.
JOC has been an avid supporter of the University's Athlet ic Department for many years. For the past two years the clinic has sponsored two ful l athletic scholarships and in 1 986 it bought uniforms for the baseball team.
Cocoa Beach hosts 2 trade seminars jointly with UCF

'O' ring blows, cool air goes
UCF had its own 'O ' ring fai lure last Saturday and as a consequence four bui ldings were out of use Monday for lack of aircondit ioning.
Chill water, centrally supplied, escaped from a joint in a 10-inch lateral line to Old Engineering, Computer Center I, Theater, and Chemistry buildings. The leak, underground near the postal kiosk, happened at a joint where steel pipe joined Temp-tite. The 'O' ring seal inside a Temp-tite collar had been in the ground since 1 9 7 1 , Lloyd (Pete) Cunningham, HVAC supervisor, estimated.
By press t ime Tuesday morning Physical Plant Director Anthony W. (Tony) Blass reported that a local contractor had found a special f i t t ing needed to replace the faulty joint. The repair was to have been underway before noon.
Water is chil led at the central plant and pumped through a pipe system to all buildings on campus where it is used to provide comfortably cool air in all classes and offices.

Turtle study gets attention of PBS children's show
UCF faculty and students joined forces earlier this month during product ion of a segment of the PBS children's show, "Reading Rainbow," on location along Brevard county beaches to register the antics of loggerhead turtles.
The 30-minute program, narrated by LeVar Burton, of "Roots" fame, focuses on the turt le as one of many animals other than chickens who lay eggs. "Chickens Aren' t the Only Ones" is expected to air on public TV next year.
On hand to lend their talents were UCF turt le expert Lew Ehrhart, several of his graduate students in zoology, and communicat ions majors from UCF and Brevard Community College, most of whom saw action as go-fers during the Melbourne Beach shoot.
Each of the programs in the "Rainbow" series features a celebrity narrating a book. Through the use of the video segments, producers hope to whet young readers' interest in reading.
