Dear Alumni and Friends:

As you may know, Eastern Michigan University's President James H. Brickley left the University on January I, 1979 to return to Lansing as Lieutenant Governor. However, as the selection process for the next president continues, the University is under the capable leadership of Dr. AnthoQy H. Evans, who has served as executive vice-president and assistant to the president for the past four years. He also was acting president while Mr. Brickley campaigned for Lieutenant Governor. Acting President Evans is supported by an able team of vice-presidents and administrators who will assist in keeping the University running smoothly until a president can be chosen. As Eastern Magazine went to press, a Presidential Screening Committee with representatives from the administration, alumni, faculty, staff student body and Board of Regents had screened 115 applicants for the position. Six potential candidates and three alternates were recommended to the Board of Regents for further consideration. The Presidential Screening Committee and the Board of Regents at Eastern Michigan are committed to choosing a president as soon as is feasibly possible. But they are cognizant of the impact their choice will have on the University and its alumni and friends and will take extreme care in choosing the right person for Eastern. We extend to our alumni and friends best wishes for 1979. Sincerely,

Distinguished Faculty Awards r\ Presented at Eastern Michigan Ly' Distinguished Faculty Awards were pre­ sented this fall to Eastern Michigan faculty members Stephen Brewer. Anthony Ian­ naccone and George Perkins at a dinner and reception held in their honor. Brewer. an associate professor of chemistry. received the senior teaching award: Iannaccone. an associate professor of music. received the junior teaching award: and Perkins. a professor of English language and literature, received the award for U niveristy service/publication. Each man received $1,000 for his award. The three faculty members were chosen for the honor from among 14 finalists selected from 25 nominees.

Consider­ ing the future electrically in Michigan, it's my belief that every projection on the need for electricity is too low. I think the time will come when we will be in a panic, constructing about 500 megawatt, coal-fired electric generat­ ing plants on an assembly line type process. Eventually, I am firmly con­ vinced that will we have to do everything we possibly can electrically. If the Arabs ever get serious about the next embargo, and make it stick, and we're importing 45 percent of our oil from OPEC nations, think it over. What is going to happen to the auto industry and to the gasoline stations? Take half of it away - now close to half of it maybe is already being wasted in unnecessary travel, but it would be a tremendous economic dis­ ruption and a social disruption. Eventually I'm convinced that mass transit in Michigan and many other places will be electrically driven. We eventually may have to go very heavily into home heating with electricity. We'll obviously have to use more effi­ cient systems, like heat pumps. But I think a lot of the planning, or the rhetoric, with respect to the need for power plants is probably wrong. I think we will need more. On oil, we'll rise or fall with the country as a whole. We are dependent on imports as the coun­ try is dependent on imports. This is very hard to predict. The supplemental power sources - solar, wind and geo­ thermal, in my view, will always be supplemental, we'll always have to base load with fossil or nuclear fuel ..."

What is the chance for the Utah deposits to have any commercial ef­ fect? The answer is probably very lit­ tle. The reasons are the small deposits and the extremely remote and en­ vironmentally sensitive terrain. If we are going to rely in this country on tar sands meeting our crude oil needs, the answer is quite clear. It's going to come from our Canadian affiliates, out of the Athabaska deposits, not from the indigenous Utah deposits. Now there may be some breakthroughs in California, Kentucky and Missouri on deposits that are like tar sands. in other words, the oil will flow naturally, but its like molasses and needs more advanced technology to make it flow into wells.

Unconventional Natural Resources Coal seams bear methane which is purposely vented from coal mines so it doesn't ignite. There are studies underway, particularly in the Appala­ chian regions, to try to collect the methane for commercial use. Gas may also be derived from shale, but this requires advanced techniques. A gee-pressure reservoir has more hydrostatic (water) pressure than it normally would have. There is also methane dissolved in the water. With advanced technology, we could use the thermal energy, extract the methane, and maybe utilize some of the mechanical energy, the problem is economics - it costs too much to get. lnsitu gassification of coal - you don't mine the coal. you turn the coal to gas in the ground and bri ng it up to the surface.

Moreover. one should not forget that nu­ clear power plants are burning up uranium which is a major source of natural radia­ tion; by doing so it would be saving about 50 lives per year, a hundred times more than the lives lost due to the waste. Thus, on any very long time scale, nuclear power must be viewed as a means for cleansing the earth of radioactivity. Before closing our discussion of the solid wastes. some comments are in order on the often-raised question of the burden we are placing on future generations in watching our waste. In the first place it should be noted that our estimate above of less than one fatality per year from the wastes ac­ cumulated by a million years of all nuclear power in U.S. is with no watching.

Hart's Depth a Key To Huron Season

Mention a starting lineup to Eastern's third-year women's head basketball coach Kathy Hart and you will usually get a small scowl in return. This is not without good reason. how­ ever. "There is a great need for more than five players as far as I can sec. In looking over our games fro m last year you'd notice that when we won it was with a total team effort and with at least five players with 10 points or above." Hart said . Hart is not overly concerned with who starts but rather with the quality and number of minutes played. "I don't put a heavy emphasis or strain on any particular people to perform ex­ tremely well on every single occassion. Sometimes I wait until warmups to decide who looks good or 1·11 watch their concen­ tration levels in the first f'cw minutes to see if it's there.
