Dr. Armand H. Delsemme, distinguished University professor of astrophysics at The University of Toledo, has been elected to the de Broglie chair of the Royal Academy of Belgium. His election came at a Jan. 9 meeting of the Royal Academy in Brussels and was unanimous. As an associate member of the Royal Academy, he will assume the chair of the late French physicist and Nobel laureate Dr. Louis de Broglie who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1929 for his discovery of the duality of between waves and particles. Dr. de Broglie is considered the founder of wave mechanics, a specialized field in physics research. The Royal Academy, Belgiunfs most prestigious academic body, is made up of three sections, or "classes," in the sciences, literature and fine arts. The class in science, which includes physicists, mathematicians, chemists, biologists and natural scientists, is limited to a membership of 55. These include 30 "titular" members who are Belgian subjects and residents of that nation and 25 associate members who may be citizens and residents of any other nation. Traditionally, each newly elected member assumes a chair which is designated by the name of the previous holder. Because of their lin-fited number and the fact that they are awarded to scientists fiom throughout the world, the chairs of associate members carry considerable prestige. Dr. Delsemme was born in Verviers, Belgium, and educated at the Univerity of Liege, also in Belgium, but is a citizen of the United States and has resided here since 1966 when he joined the faculty of The University of Toledo.
He holds bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in physics and a master's degree in science and education, all from the University of Liege. Active in the Belgian resistance movement during World War II, he served as deputy director of a team of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in Germany in 1945, as head of the research staff of a private Belgian company, as founding director of the Belgian Congo Observatory, and as division head of the Directorate for Scientific Affairs under the aupices of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris from 1961 to 1966.
An authority on the nature and origin of comets, he has served as president, chairman or a member of several conm'lissions of the International Astronomical Union, most dealing with various aspects of comet research.
Last summer, the IAU designated an asteroid, minor planet 2954, as "Delsemme" ira its records of celestial objects, honoring his "extensive investigations of the chemical, physical, dynamic and evolutionary processes of comets." ### The University of Toledo

The University of Toledo's Board of Trustees today (Feb. 10) authorized the University administration to take further action to induce Solar Cell, Inc., a newly organized manufacturer of large, high efficiency solar electric generating panels, to locate its first plant on land adjacent to the University's proposed College of Engineering facility, formerly the Owens-Illinois Technical Center. The Board requested transfer by gift of about 5 acres of land, now owned by The University of Toledo Corporation and located on Dorr Street east of Douglas Road, which it proposes to subsequently sell to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority for $1. Under the plan adopted today, the Port Authority would then provide tax exempt bond financing to construct the $3 million, 48,000-square-foot manufacturing facility which would employ about 75 persons within two years of completion. The University would enter into a lease/purchase agreement with the Port Authority on the property for a period equal to the time required to retire the bonds and would sublease the property to Solar Cell, Inc. at a rental rate sufficient to retire the bonds. When the bonds are retired, the University would retain the option of re-acquiring the property for $100. The facility would include laboratory facilities for University use to facilitate joint research efforts by UT and Solar Cell, Inc. The plan is part of a proposal being developed by UT, the Port Authority, the City of Toledo and the Ohio Department of Development to persuade Solar Cell, Inc. to locate the plant in Toledo. Alternate incentive plans have been developed by at least two other states, Massachusetts and Colorado, according to Dr. Harold L. Allen, the Univerity's vice president for graduate studies, research and economic development. Last month (Jan. 13), the Board authorized its finance chairman, George W. Haigh, and University President James D. McComas to begin negotiations with Solar Cell, Inc. which resulted in the actions taken today. Willard W. Smith, the University's vice president for business affairs, told the Board that prompt action is required if Toledo hopes to be successful in persuading Solar Cell, Inc. to locate
here. The company's newly patented continuous processing method of producing solar electric generating panels was developed by Harold McMaster, chairman and chief executive officer of Glasstech, Inc., a Perrysburg-based company which specializes in manufacturing heat-treating equipment for automotive glass and other applications. (over) 2-2-2
While Solar Cell, Inc. will operate independantly, Dr. Allen said, it will remain closely affiliated with Glasstech, Inc. and with Glasstech Solar, Inc., a subsidiary of Glasstech. In other action, the Board approved the use of negotiated sale rather than competitive bidding in the issuing of bonds to finance renovation of the University's Glass Bowl football stadium, a proposed student recreation center, and proposed on-campus housing for fraternities and sororities. Mr. Haigh and Trustee Robert Savage pointed out that the method would enable the University to take advantage of fluctuations in the bond market which, although slight, could realize considerable savings for the University in long-term interest Costs. It also approved a request by the University to the state auditor's office that the University be permitted to contract with an independent auditor for its annual audit over a period of five years beginning with the audit of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1987. Dr. McComas told Board members that as a result of his recent visits to the University of Salford, England, with which the University has an existing student exchange agreement, and the National University in Dublin, Ireland, a representative of the National University is expected to visit The University of Toledo in April to discuss a similar exchange program. The Board approved the retirement of Dr. George P. Guthrie, professor of philosophy, effective March 19, and his designation as professor emeritus. And it accepted more than $74,381 in various gifts and grants. These include a large glass sculpture by Toledo glass artist Tom McGlauchlin, which was commissioned by the Rotary Club of Toledo in honor of Toledo's sesquicentennial anniversary and will be installed in the lobby of The University of Toledo at SeaGate Centre, the University's section of Toledo's downtown convention center.

NOTE TO NEWS EDITORS: Betty Mahnÿoody will be available for interviews following her speech at approximately 10 a.m. Feb. 26 in tile Driscoll Center for Continuing Education. For more information, contact Robin Richards, 537-2036.
Belty Ma hmoody, an American woman who became a prisoner of her abusive husband in iran, will be the keynote speaker Friday, Feb. 26 at 8:45 a.m. at the "What Next?
Taking a New Route" seminar for recently separated, divorced, widowed, and single parents sponsored by The University of Toledo Catharine Eberly Center for Women. The day-long seminar will be held in the Driscoll Center for Continuing Education and will offer workshops led by a variety of professionals from the Toledo and Monroe, Mich., areas.
Ms. Mahmoody, who has recently appeared on several nationally televised talk shows, recounts her story in her book, Not Widzout My Daughter, A True Story, published in fall, 1987, by St. Martin's Press. The book was written with William Holler, co-author of Midnight
Express.
Mrs. Mahmoody's ordeal began in August, 1984, when she ignored her gut feelings and reluctantly agreed to accompany her husband Sayyed, an American-trained medical doctor nicknamed "Moody" by his co-workers at the hospital where he was an anesthesiologist, on what he claimed would be a two-week visit with his relatives in Iran. Despite Mrs. Mahmoody's sixth sense that warned her Moody had no intention of returning to the U.S., she, Moody, and their 4- year-old daughler boarded the plane to Tehran.
Within days after moving in with Moody's sister and family, Mrs. Mahoody's once devoted, considerate husband become more and more like his relatives, issuing commands to his wife, dominating every conversation, praising Kohmeini, and hating America. Despite the, family's
-over- -2- wealth, the primitive living conditions were intolerable. There were roaches everywhere, worms and bugs in the food, and oppressive heat, stench and filth.
Mrs. Mahmoody's worst fear was confirmed when, on the eve of their departure, Moody announced he'd lost his job at the hospital and had brought the couple's life savings to Iran. Mrs. Mahmoody had turned over her passport to her husband when they landed at the airport two weeks earlier because he said it would help them clear customs. Now she was trapped. What followed, Mrs. Mahmoody said, were 18 months of abuse and repression in a patriarchal society where it's socially acceptable for a man to beat his wife and child. She says she struggled frantically to hold onto her sanity as she tried to find a way out of Iran, where all women, even foreign citizens, are legally their husband's chattels, and where most of the women cooperate in their own repression. (A special police force of women patrols the streets day and night; Mrs. Mahmoody was stopped twice, once for letting a wisp of hair show, once for wearing wrinkled socks.) Determined not to leave her daughter behind, Mrs. Mahmoody turned down the few opportunities she found for escaping. Finally, with the help of smugglers, the mother and daughter survived a 500-mile journey by foot and horseback over snow-capped mountains into
Turkey. They're now living under an assumed name in a small city. She won't get a divorce because she would have to try to locate her husband and inform him of her plans. She's afraid he would find them, kidnap their daughter, and take her back to Iran. Mrs. Mahmoody says the State Department knows of more than 1,000 cases of American women and children held against their will in Iran and other Islamic countries.
Following Mrs. Mahmoody's hour-long talk, those attending the seminar can choose from among the following workshops:

Stewart G. Pollock, associate justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, will deliver The University of Toledo College of Law's seventh annual Cannon Lecture on "Law, Medicine and Ethics" at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 3, in the Law Center auditorium. The Cannon Lecture series was established in 1980 as a memorial to the late Joseph A. Cannon, a Toledo attorney and senior partner in the firm of Cannon, Burns, Mickel and Geller at the time of his death that year. A substantial gift from his family and friends enables the College of Law to annually attract nationally known professionals from law and related fields to discuss the American legal system and the social context in which it operates. The six previous Cannon lecturers were New York Times syndicated columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Lewis; author and journalist Martin Mayer; Jon R. Waltz, Williams professor of law at Northwestern University; Raymond K. Procunier, director of the Texas Department of Corrections; Duncan M. Kennedy, professor of law at Harvard Law School; and Rev. Robert F.Drinan, S.J., professor of law at Georgetown University and a former member of the U.S. Congress. The Supreme Court of New Jersey has rendered several key decisions on medical-legal issues confronting modern society. Among them was the recent and widely publicized "Baby M" decision, in which Justice Pollock participated, which is likely to strongly influence judicial decisions throughout the U.S. on the issue of surrogate mother contracts. The New Jersey Supreme Court also decided the Karen Anne Quinlan case involving the rights of a comotose patient. And more recently it delineated the rights of patients dying at home, in hospit,"ds and in nursing homes. A native of East Orange, N.J., Justice Pollock earned his bachelor's degree from Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., his law degree from the New York University School of Law, and is a candidate for a master's degee in law at the University of Virginia's School of Law which he expects to receive this year. After completing legal studies in New York, he served as assistant U.S. attorney in Newark, N.J., for two years and was a partner in the firm of Schenck, Price, Smith and King in Morristown, N.J., for 16 years. On several occasions during the mid to late 1970s, he served in the administration of New Jersey Gov. Brendan Byrne. From 1974 to 1976, as commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Public Utilities, he was a member of the governor's cabinet, and from 1978 through 1979 he served as counsel to the governor. In June, 1979, Gov. Byrne (over) 2-2-2 appointed him to the state's Supreme Court. A former president of the Morris County Bar Association and a former trustee of the New Jersey State Bar Association, he is the author of numerous legal articles and reports and has lectured extensively at colleges and law schools. He is a member of the board of directors of the American Judicature Society and serves as an adviser to the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers project. A reception for Justice Pollock will be held in the Law Center Forum immediately following his free, public address.

A seminar on personal safety and crime prevention will be sponsored by The University of Toledo Panhellenic Council in conjunction with P.H., Inc. on Sunday, Feb. 28, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in UT's Driscoll Center for Continuing Education auditorium. The seminar will address aspects of personal safety and property security, and will feature John Dauer, UT public safety officer and crime prevention specialist; Joseph Skonecki, assistant director of UT campus security; and Connie Cytlak, a sergeant in the UT Campus Security auxiliary services. Some of the issues they will focus on are the problems that UT security faces on
campus, steps taken to prevent crime, and the assistance that the University and the
community can offer to help fight crime. "Part of the problem we face at UT is that it is a commuter campus. We have no problem talking about campus security with the students that are residents here, but we do have a few problems with the commuter." Mr. Skonecki said that commuters usually have
families, jobs, and homes separate from the University and are mostly concerned with
getting to campus, finding a parking spot, going to class, and then leaving. To address some of the problems facing commuters, Mr. Skonecki, Mr. Dauer, and Ms. Cytlak will discuss ways to secure a car correctly, and tips for safety on the campus after dark, such as which routes to use and which areas should be avoided. One thing that Mr. Skonecki wants to emphasize to the student population and the University community in general is the importance of calling security and reporting any
suspicious activity or persons. Most of the time, he said, people feel that what they have witnessed isn't important, but they should still call. Every call could possibly lead to an
important investigation. "We welcome all calls. Without the eyes and ears of the campus, we don't have the opportunity to check out a lot of things that need to be checked," Mr. Skonecki said. The progam will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

If it's lonely at the top it's also frustrating, say executives who want to be told how they're doing on the job tÿut are- seldom, if ever, given formal performance evaluations. Job reviews are rare, complained 60 executives interviewed by Dr. Clinton Longenecker, assistant professor of management at The University of Toledo, and Dr. Dennis A. Gioia, associate professor of organizational behavior at Pennsylvania State University. Their findings. reported in the winter, 1988 issue of Sloan Management Review, reveal that managers want tc know how well they're doing despite the risk of being criticized in the process. The professors conducted in-depth interviews with five dozen upper-level executives from seven large
organizations, and the majority of these managers of managers claimed they seldom receive job
reviews.
"Every executive in this study said that he or she wanted periodic, thorough and formal
feedback on performance," Dr. Longenecker says. "They wanted ways to improve their own performance and their department's performance, wanted to review their past performance, and wanted to talk about long-term and 'big picture' issues." Despite their willingness to hear both a, compliments and complaints from the boss, all aÿreed that the higher one rose in the organization, the more superficial and infrequent were the performance appraisals. "A lot of people at the top don't think they have a responsibility to provide direction and
supervision once people are past a certain level in the organization," one manager commented. "You just let people go 'til they screw up and then you get out the big stick or the axe
depending on how big the screwup, and you get them back on track rather violently..."
The annual review that is mandatory in most corporations for salary increases is usually done in such an infrequent, irregular, rushed, and informal way that it is generally useless to
the one being reviewed, Dr. Longenecker said. Many executives felt their bosses were
-over- -2- uncomfortable giving the review and wanted to get it over as fast as possible without creating any conflict or confrontation.
Granted, the prospect of being formally reviewed makes even high-powered executives nervous, but the level of anxiety is tied to five major factors: The amount of trust between the two executives; how clearly defined were the subordinate manager's job responsibilities, authority and goals; how much specific feedback he or she received throughout the year before review time; the outcome of past performance appraisals; and the number of political factors at work to color the rating, such as the appraiser's own job performance or desire to look good.
Still, a cursory appraisal is better than none, the researchers found. Negative feelings, anxiety, and frustration are common symptoms when no one's talking. "Withhold a guy's review long enough and you'll make him crazy for a lot of different reasons," one manager notic.ed, and eventually productivity will drop.
Despite the consequences, many managers avoid formal reviews for several reasons. Some aren't convinced the review is a valuable tool, or they want to keep their people 'off balance.' Other, more valid, reasons include a lack of guidelines to measure the manager's performance, and a lack of ongoing observation and feedback.
"Before we can ever rate people's performance, we have to spell out in no uncertain terms what the job entails, what their priorities and goals are, and how and what they need to do to please me and the company," the director of quality assurance progams with a major automotive parts supplier said. "We all know how tough it is to put down on paper what a manager's job entails."
"Executives need appraisals," Dr. Longenecker stressed. "They want it, they need it, and the organization benefits if they get it. The stickier question is not whether to do executive appraisals, but how to do them more effectively." He and Dr. Gioia have these suggestions:
--Take adequate time for the appraisal.
--Conduct appraisals regularly, at least once a year. --Be supportive, and as forthright, honest and specific as possible. -- Conduct a formal appraisal and provide structured information about the job performance. --Avoid ambiguous and nebulous language, and state exactly how the person is doing and
-more- -3- what will improve his or her performance.
--Avoid political factors as much as possible. They usually cannot be ignored, but they should be managed and minimized.
--Avoid the seductive power trip that comes with being able to affect someone's fate through a job appraisal.
--Include performance planning in the appraisal. Set qualitative goals along with quantitative and financial ones. Include a formal review of the job descriptions, the specific accountabilities, and the manager's jurisdiction and authority to set the stage for the future.
--Remember that executives want and need regular feedback. Monthly "mini-appraisals" benefit you and the subordinate and take the trauma out of the formal appraisal.
--Finally, use the formal appraisal as an organizational "time out" to discuss performance "2 improvement with your subordinate executives and give them a chance to comment on your performance as their superior.
Performance reviews are simply good business, Dr. Longenecker said. "As one manager put it, ignoring them doesn't make good sense or cents." Dr. Longenecker received the bachelor and master of business administration degrees from The University of Toledo, and the Ph.D. degree from Pennsylvania State University. He is a consultant in organization development, performance management and appraisal systems, and team building. Dr. Gioia received the bachelor of science, the master of business administration, and doctor of business administration degrees from Florida State University. His specialty is the complex cognitive processes of organization members, and the ways those processes are used in understanding, communication, and performance appraisal.

Joseph A. Orundfest, member of the Securities and Exchange Commission and former counsel and senior economist with President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, will be the principal speaker at The University of Toledo College of Law's third annual Colloquium on Corporate Law and Social Policy scheduled for 4 p.m. on Friday, March 11, in the Law Center auditorium. Subject of this year's colloquium is "Job Losses and Corporate Takeovers," an area of special interest in the economy of Toledo and northwestern Ohio. Joining Commissioner Grundfest as commentators will be Merritt B. Fox, visiting professor of law at the University of Michigan and the author of two books on economics, law and finance, and Leigh Trevor, a nationally known authority on tender offers and a partner in Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue of Cleveland, one of the nation's largest law firms. Commissioner Grundfest was named to the SEC in October, 1985, moving from the Council of Economic Advisers where he had served as senior economist for legal and regulatory matters and helped formulate the Reagan administration's policies on contests for corporate control, regulation of securities markets and financial institutions, and international trade. Before beginning government service, he was in private practice with the Washington, D.C., law firm of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering and worked as an economist with the Rand Corporation, the Brookings Institution, and with Peat, Marwick and Mitchell. He is the author or co-author of numerous publications dealing with corporate takeovers, the legal and economic regulation of markets subject to kickback schemes, the regulation of markets for broadcast stations and television advertising, and the role of citizen participation in administrative proceedings. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Yale University and during an undergraduate year of study in England completed requirements for a master's degree in mathematical economics and econometrics at the London School of Economics. He earned his law degree from Stanford University and continued graduate study in economics to the doctoral level. A native of New York City, he is married to the former Carol Chia-Ming Hsu, a biochemist who is manager of scientific services at the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association in Washington. Professor Fox earned his bachelor of arts and law degrees and a doctor of philosophy degree in economics at Yale University in 1968, 1971 and 1980 respectively. While a graduate student at Yale, he also served as an instructor and lecturer in economics. Beginning in 1974, he was (over) 2-2-2 associated with the law firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton of New York and in 1980 joined the law faculty of Indiana University as an associate professor. He became a full professor of law in 1986 and currently is on leave to accept a visiting professorship at the University of Michigan. A specialist in corporate and international law, law and economics, and securities regulation, he is co-author of The Signature of Power (1979) and author of Finance and Industrial Performance in a Dynamic Economy (1986). In his latest book, he argues that industrial performance can be improved through a better understanding of the financial process, particularly financial decisions by large corporations that determine which proposed investment projects receive society's savings and who manages the projects already in existance. Among those decisions is the dividend behavior of large corporations, the decision as to whether a company reinvests its cash flow back into the firm or distributes it to shareholders. That determines who participates in deciding which proposed investment projects are implemented in the economy, he writes. Mr. Trevor holds bachelor's and law degrees from Harvard University and has spent the past two decades of his legal career as a specialist in defending more than two dozen corporate clients against unfriendly takeovers. He is president of Stakeholders in America, a national, non-profit group of business executives pressing Congress for changes in the laws governing corporate acquisitions. Among other reforms, Stakeholders in America is urging legislation to prohibit greenmail, the practice of paying a raider a premium for his stock; to require bidders to disclose their plans for a target company; to force immediate disclosure when an individual acquires 2 per cent of a company's stock rather than the current 5 per cent, and to mandate a longer period between the initiation and consummation of a hostile takeover. Mr. Trevor feels that corporate takeover wars generate billions of dollars of debt and cause employees to be laid off to cut costs in order to service such debt, and that management often sacrifices long-term corporate planning for short-term profits to keep takeover sharks at bay. The only winners, he says, are those who play the stock market correctly. Lawrence Ponoroff, assistant professor of law at The University of Toledo, will moderate the free, public colloquium. A reception for the guest speakers will be held in the Law Center forum immediately following the program.

Theodore (Ted) Horst (Waldmar, Sylvania), associate professor of engineering technologies at The University of Toledo Community and Technical College, will retire next month after 21 years of UT service.
Mr. Horst first came to The University of Toledo in spring, 1967, as a part-time faculty member and became full-time that fall.
Before joining UT, he was a project engineer at the engineering firm now known as
Dansard, Grohnke, and Long, Ltd. He grew up in East Toledo and graduated from Waite High School.
While serving in the Navy during World War II, he was able to get in three academic years of studies at what is now Case Western Reserve and also at Iowa State University. He then went on to get his civil engineering degree from UT.
After graduating, he went to work for the New York Central Railroad in the engineering department, first working in Toledo and later in New York for a total of five years of service. At ComTech, he has taught math, drafting, and civil engineering technology courses. He served on ComTech's administrative staff under Dean Newton Rochte. At that time there were two divisions in the college--general studies and technologies--and he headed up the Division of Technologies for about three years.
He also has served as executive dean of the college under three deans--Dean Rochte, Dean Frank Thomas, and Dean Charles Bohlen. Additionally he was acting dean of the college for approximately three years. "The administrative position is financially more rewarding, but teaching is more intrinsically rewarding," he said. Of the University, "I guess you could say I will remember the comradery and the collegiate spirit the most," he said.
"I've grown a lot since I've been here," he said. "I used to be very impatient. I've learned patience here." He said that you can't lead an organization by being too far out front. "You have to involve the people in the decision making process."

He also has seen a change in the students over the years. He said that he likes to teach night classes because the students tend to be more serious and, therefore, easier to teach. You know that they are there for a purpose, he said. Mr. Horst plans to return once a quarter a year to teach. He also plans to "do a little fishing, a little golf, and a little traveling" besides considering some job offers in the hope of taking on a new career. He will continue to serve on his church board, sing in the church choir, and
serve on the board of the Josina Lott Foundation. Mr. Horst and his wife, Esther, have two daughters, Barbara and Amy. Barbara received both bachelor's and master's degrees in philosophy from UT and an M.B.A. from the University
of California at Berkeley. Amy received an associate degree and a bachelor's degree in business
administration, both from UT.

The University of Toledo received a major collection of rocks, minerals, fossils, and shells from Mrs. Helen Edenburn of Toledo in 1984. The collection has now been cataloged and selected specimens are displayed in the geology museum in UT's Bowman-Oddy Laboratories. Mrs. Edenburn and her late husband, Elmer, had been avid "rockhounders" since the early 1950s and amassed a collection totaling over 20,000 specimens from across the United States. They collected from many classic localities, many of which have long since been abandoned. This makes the collection significant since specimens from these sites are no longer readily available. Some of the Ohio localities are Clay Center, Pugh Quarry, Silica, and Woodville. "As their collection grew, it filled more and more cabinets in their house on Commonwealth Ave. and spilled into the garage," Dr. Mark Camp, associate professor of geology and curator of the museum, said. "In 1961, a separate storage site was constructed behind their garage to provide a better display space." Dr. Camp had met Mrs. Edenburn many years ago, when he was a young "rockhound." The two met again when he and Dr. William Kneller, professor of geology, visited her concerning the disposition of her collection. "Since that time Helen and I have maintained contact by letter, phone, and visits," Dr. Camp said. Mrs. Edenburn recently visited the department to view the completed displays.
