NASA names University site of chief geoscience data facility

Leaping to the top: The women's basketball team was ranked eighth in the latest NCAA Division III national poll. A major force behind the Bears' leap to the top is sophomore point guard Carolyn Royce, who has averaged 7.0 points per game and 2.9 assists per game in her first year at Washington University. A former all-state player at Clayton High School, the transfer from the University of Illinois started the first 18 games for the Bears. For more on the Bears' winning streak, see story on p. 2.

Assembly Series topics range from photojournalism to men's issues Four Assembly Series lectures will be presented on Feb. 14 and 15, covering topics that range from a photojournal- ist's viewpoint to men's changing roles. One of the lectures will be held in conjunction with the Cultural Celebration Week events on campus.

The Feb. 14 Assembly Series schedule brings to campus national and international photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark, Robert B. McKay, profes- sor emeritus and former dean of the New York University law school, and J. Patout Burns Jr., professor of religion at the University of Florida. Harry Brod, visiting associate profes- sor of gender studies and philosophy at Kenyon College, will speak Feb. 15. All four lectures are free and open to the public.

Photographer's view • Mark's lecture, "The Unflinching

Eye: How a Photojournalist Sees," is part of the University's Cultural Celebration Week activities. The award-winning documentary photog- rapher will speak at 11 a.m. in The May Auditorium in Simon Hall. Known for pictures that capture individuals on the fringe of life, Mark published the 1981 photo essay titled Falkland Road, which focuses on Bombay brothels. Her other books include Ward 81, a 1970 photo essay on women in a mental hospital, and the 1985 Photographs of Mother Teresa's Missions of Charity in Cal- cutta.

Mark's work appears in such publications as Life, Paris-Match, The New York Times Magazine and

Rolling Stone. Her numerous profes- sional honors include winning, on two occasions, the University of Missouri's top award for a feature picture story. She also is a recipient of the Canon Photo Essayist Award.

Legal ethics • McKay will deliver the Tyrrell

Williams Lecture at 4 p.m. in Graham Chapel. His talk is tided "The Rise of the Justice Industry and the Decline of Legal Ethics." McKay is the 1987 recipient of the prestigious Robert J. Kutak Award, which was established by the American Bar Association to honor outstanding contributions to the improvement of legal education and the legal profession.

Under McKay's leadership as dean from 1967 to 1975, the New York University School of Law achieved recognition as one of the nation's truly excellent schools. His influence beyond the law school includes writing Reapportionment: The Law and Politics of Equal Representa- tion and successfully arguing a reapportionment case before the U.S. Supreme Court. He also chaired the New York State Special Commission on Attica, which investigated the 1971 prison revolt.

Washington University has been designated the lead Geoscience Node of NASA's Planetary Data System, NASA has announced. The designa- tion makes the University the site of the chief facility for storing and distributing NASA data collected for the surfaces and interiors of Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars and the larger satellites of the outer planets.

The Planetary Data System is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Raymond E. Arvidson, Ph.D., professor of earth and planetary sciences, is supervisor of the Geos- cience Node, which currently is housed in Wilson Hall. According to Arvidson, the facility will store and distribute geoscience data from NASA's past and future planetary missions, including processed images, sample information and remote sensing observations of such missions as Apollo, Viking, the Magellan Mission to Venus and the 1992 Mars Observer Mission.

The facility will be housed in a 3,000-square-foot area of the earth and planetary sciences department's Natural Sciences Building, which is scheduled to be completed in 1991.

"We're proud to receive this designation by NASA and excited to be in the midst of the data explosion that space exploration in the 1990s will provide," says Arvidson, a mem- ber of the radar investigation group of NASA's Magellan Mission, an interdis- ciplinary scientist for the Mars Ob- server Mission and a NASA committee member to implement Soviet/Ameri- can exchange of Mars data.

"President Bush has set the goal of landing people on Mars by ap- proximately the second decade of the next century. The archive of geo- science data about Mars will be invaluable to a successful operation on Mars," the scientist says.

Laboratories at Brown University, Arizona State University, the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, the Lunar and Planetary Institute and NASA's Johnson Space Center will be "subnodes" to the Washington Univer- sity Geoscience Discipline Node. Laboratories at each of these institu- tions will specialize in interpreting and storing various subsets of the data collected during planetary explora- tions. For instance, the MIT subnode will be responsible for microwave data; the Johnson Space Center in Houston will specialize in lunar samples, meteorites and cosmic dust

collections. Arvidson will be assisted at the

University by Edward A. Guinness, Ph.D., senior research associate in the University's McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, and Susan Slavney, system programmer.

Equipment to store and assemble the data has been funded by a W.M. Keck Foundation Grant. Arvidson's group received a $300,000 grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation in January 1989 to deal with the anticipated glut of computer-generated data returning from space in the next decade. The Keck grant was matched by a 40 per- cent discount on equipment pur- chased from Digital Equipment Corp.

The new computer system is based on a MicroVAX 3900, a Mi- croVAX II and a VAXstation 3520. The equipment also will help Arvidson and his team interpret and assemble the geoscience data from both the Magellan and Mars Observer missions so that detailed geological maps of the planets will be available to the scientific community.

In the summer of 1990, the NASA Geoscience Node, in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will produce CD-ROMs (compact-disc- read-only-memories, small plastic discs similar to music discs people pop into their home stereos). The discs will hold data from the 1989 Geologic Remote Sensing Field Experiment, an extensive airborne mapping of Death Valley and the Lunar Crater volcanic field in Nevada that Arvidson and colleagues from a number of institutions undertook in the summer of 1989. The scientist and his colleagues used equipment similar to equipment that will be used on the Magellan and Mars Observer missions.

The series of eight CD-ROMS will be distributed to more than 100 geologists worldwide and will provide the geological community a preview of the type of information the Magel- lan Mission will reveal after remote sensing equipment begins beaming data back from that planet in Septem- ber 1990.

Arvidson expects lots of business at the new facility.

"On a daily basis, we anticipate about two dozen catalog queries, a dozen data orders, as well as some requests for data processing each day," he says. "And we expect to have one or two visiting scientists in residence at any given time. In short, we're preparing for a busy, exciting decade of planetary geoscience."

Gephardt will discuss trade, competition Congressman Richard A. Gephardt, D- Mo., majority leader of the House of Representatives, will discuss "Trade and Competitiveness for the 21st Century" during a lecture at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 13, in Graham Chapel.

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the University's Assembly Series.

Gephardt, who was the first Democrat to announce his candidacy for the 1988 presidential election, has represented Missouri's Third District in Congress since 1976. On June 14, 1989, he was unanimously elected majority leader of the House. In that role, he serves as the chief strategist and spokesperson for the Democratic Party in the House. He is chairman of the Task Force of Trade and Competi- tiveness, which advises the House

leadership on international trade and economic issues.

The congressman also is known for his leadership in the areas of tax

reform, health care, arms control, agricul- tural policy and balancing the federal budget. He is founding chairman of the Democratic Lead- ership Council, which encour- ages locally, state

and nationally elected Democrats to work together in shaping democratic policies.

Negotiating salaries, other topics to be covered in career seminar

Sophomore Debby Reich (left) and freshmen Kirsten Kibota (center) and Meredith Mcllroy rehearse "Revel Flourishes," the opening piece of the Dance Theatre program to be held Feb. 16-18 in Edison.

World premiere highlights Dance Theatre performance From "El Hotel de las Cucarachas" and "The Afternoon of a Night Janitor" to "Motional Missives" and "Equea Symbio," the Washington University Dance Theatre program has some- thing for every type of dance enthusi- ast.

Nine pieces, including a world premiere by Robert Small, artist-in- residence in dance at the University last semester, will be performed at 8 p.m. Feb. 16 and 17 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 18 in Edison Theatre.

The program will feature choreog- raphy by three faculty members, Christine Alberts, Mary Jean Cowell and Michael Podolski; three alumni, Angela Culbertson, Robin Mosby and Terry Pexton; and two guest artists, Calvin Jarrell and Small, and will be performed by 24 students who, while not all dance majors, are taking dance classes.

The choreographic styles repre- sented in the program run the gamut, from quiet, controlled pieces to lighthearted and even comical ones. In "El Hotel de las Cucarachas," for example, choreographer Mosby compares the movement of cock- roaches scurrying from the light with human behavior in New York City where people constantly rush from place to place while being bombarded with noise and lights.

Mosby's "Whose Voice" is a more serious look at the importance of following one's own desires and goals despite the distractions of outside forces, such as other peoples' opin- ions. Mosby uses music by New Age singer Enya to support the fragmented and angular feel of her choreography.

"Dog-Tail Rag" was created for

the dance students by Small while he was an artist-in-residence here last semester. This will be its world premiere.

"Motional Missives," choreo- graphed by Cowell, associate profes- sor of dance, will be accompanied by an original score by Lance Garger, an instructor in the music department. This piece is made up of movement themes that are then improvised and expanded upon, much like jazz music.

Podolski, assistant professor of performing arts, will open the pro- gram with his "Revel Flourishes," a piece specifically designed as an opener, or a greeting piece, set to music by Handel.

Alberts, artist-in-residence in dance, takes a comical look at the life of a ballet dancer in her piece "Barre Works."

Culbertson and Pexton use traditional Japanese music in their piece "Equea Symbio," in which they depict one organism dividing to become two distinct beings.

Pexton's "The Afternoon of a Night Janitor" is a comical look at what "sanitary engineers" do when alone in office buildings.

"The Subtle Body," choreo- graphed by Jarrell, a professor in the theatre and dance department at Southern Illinois University at Ed- wardsville, is set to the slow move- ment of Beethoven's Seventh Sym- phony.

Tickets are $7 for the general public and $5 for Washington Univer- sity faculty and staff, senior citizens and students.

Women's basketball team ranked eighth Winners of a school-record 11 straight games, the women's basketball team has leaped to the top of the University Athletic Association standings and currently ranks among the elite programs in the nation.

Ranked eighth in the latest NCAA Division III national poll, the Bears have earned an overall record of 18-1 and are 9-0 in UAA conference play through Feb. 4. The number-eight perch ties the Bears' best-ever rank- ing, achieved in the final regular- season poll of the 1987-88 season.

Led by fourth-year coach Nancy Fahey, the Red and Green have blended zealous youthfulness and poised workmanship to create a winning combination. Triggered by a trio of fast-breaking first-year guards — freshman Jennifer Gibbs and Kim Brandt, plus sophomore Carolyn Royce — the Bear offense has flour- ished. All-Central region forward Karen Hermann has come back from

knee surgery to average a team-high 13-4 points per game. Sophomore Michele Lewis and senior Rochelle Meyers are averaging 12.9 and 10.9 points per contest, respectively.

In addition, the Bear defense is among the nation's stingiest, ranking in the Division III top-five in three major statistical categories.

"I'm very pleased with our level of play to date," said Fahey. "We're starting our second trip around the UAA now, and I anticipate some excellent challenges. We need to continue playing at the top of our game in order to win."

The Bears will try to extend their four-year, 34-game home winning streak against Division III competition on Feb. 6 against Principia College. Following that contest, the Bears' next home date will be Feb. 11 against UAA-foe Carnegie Mellon University. The game begins at 1 p.m. in the Field House Gym.

19th-century view of St. Louis John W. Reps, author of St. Louis Illustrated: Nineteenth-century En- gravings and Lithographs of a Missis- sippi River Metropolis, will present a slide presentation and discussion at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 11, in The May Au- ditorium, Simon Hall.

The title of the program is "Mississippi River Metropolis: A Pictorial Excursion Into 19th-century St. Louis." The event, free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Bookmark Society, a literary and support organization of the Washing- ton University Libraries.

During the discussion, Reps, a St. Louis native who is professor emeritus in the Department of City and Re- gional Planning at Cornell University, will use drawings, paintings, engrav- ings and lithographs to trace the physical growth of St. Louis from its inception in 1764 to the early part of the 20th century. Reps, who retired from Cornell University in 1987, has been actively involved in city plan- ning throughout his career. He works as a planning consultant.

For more information on the lecture, call 889-5400.

Desegregation plan is model case The status of the Metropolitan School Desegregation Plan will be discussed during a 1:10 p.m. lecture by the plan's coordinator on Thursday, Feb. 15, at Washington University.

Susan Uchitelle, executive director for the Voluntary Interdistrict Coordi- nating Council, will deliver the lecture, titled "Voluntary School Desegregation: St. Louis, a Model Case Study," in Brown Hall lounge. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is part of the University's George Warren Brown School of Social Work Spring Lecture Series.

Uchitelle, who has been the council's executive director since 1981, says that St. Louis' interdistrict transfer program has more children (approximately 13,200) making voluntary school choices than in any other metropolitan area. "We must recognize our success and work hard to institutionalize the desegregation plan — make it permanent and ongoing."

Uchitelle received a doctorate in education from the University.
