Nothing special about that, one might be tempted to say—the University gets gifts and bequests all the time, and in Maine, prime woodland can be as nice a present as blue chip stocks. But if you said that, you’d be missing the point. What Larouche gave the University wasn’t just timbcrland. It represented a labor of love which began in 1965, when Oliver bought a one-time farm on Route 43, noithwest of old Town. Roughly triangular, the parcel lay within a bend of the Pushaw Stream. Some was meadow, some was woods, some was low and swampy. The varied terrain made it good habitat for a variety of wild animals, birds and plants. A retired electrical engineer who graduated from UMO in 1949, Larouche set out to improve on what he had. With the advice and assistance of Parker C. Reed, a fellow engineer w'ho was also a distinguished amateur ornithologist, Oliver Larouche developed his propcity into a wildlife refuge. He named it “Hirundo,” recalling the Latin designation for the swallow Revenue Service exempts the trust from The fields are a good example of the family.

Daily News Top Sports Story The University of Maine at Orono baseball team, convincing a national audience that Maine is more than “ snowbirds and potato pickers,” was chosen by the Maine Sunday Telegram as the state’s top sports story of 1982. In a poll of Telegram sports staff members, John Winkin’s baseball Black Bears outdistanced the No. 2 story—Ron Rogerson’s football Black Bears—with their 34-14 record and third place finish in the College World Series. Right fielder Tom Venidestine, first baseman Kevin Bernier, designated hitter Dick Whitten and left fielder Brad Colton are the four seniors who will be leading UMO in its bid to return to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The Bears, currently ranked ninth in the nation, finished tied for Honorary alumni—From left, Douglas Brown, G. Peirce Webber, Christopher Hutchins, third in last year’s College World Series. Elizabeth Noyce, Galen Cole, Charles Bragg, Judson Grant, and Douglas Mathieu (not shown: Thomas Valley and Carl Coutts) 10 MAINE ALUMNUS The first woman to graduate from UMO was Louise Ramsdell, Class of 1874. Years later, in preparation for a news story retelling her arrival on campus, a reporter asked our celebrated alumna: “ What did you wear to your first day of classes?” She replied, “ Oh, probably my good brown suit. It’s too bad you ask me that instead of what I have learned.” Today, more than a century later, thousands of women have earned undergraduate and graduate degrees at UMO. With increased education, participation in the paid labor force and the Women’s Movement, future alumnae now comprise 53 percent of the student body. There emerge women like Carolyn Zachary ’65, shown here, who was recently promoted to executive speech writer for AT&T Long Lines. Our cover feature includes a story about Jeanne McGowan ’75, executive director for the Maine Commission for Women and a story about Betty Harrison ’43 who raised a family of alumni and then enrolled herself. We are still eyeing sadly the items and photographs we had to leave out of this special issue about our deserving alumnae. Woman------Graduate Employee Relations Ironing Out the Wrinkles To THE AVERAGE WORKING woman, Anita Wihry has it made. At 36, she holds an executive-level post at the University of Maine at Orono and shares domestic and family chores with her husband, David. “My husband and I are both con vinced each of us does more than half the work,’’ said Wihry. Care of their two-year-old daughter, Katherine, is shared “on an ad hoc basis,” according to David, who has just finished a six- year term as chairman of UMO’s eco nomics department. Wihry was born in Washington, D.C. and spent her childhood in Maine when her father was a customs official. She studied history and economics at Syracuse University and has worked at UMO since 1969. She was assistant director of the student aid office and director of Institutional Research at UMO before she began her current career in personnel. Her advice to students: “It’s best to know something about everything you can. It’s a mistake to become too job-oriented too early.” Although most UMO employees at one time or another receive a letter Anita Wihry (M.Ed. ’79), left, executive director of employee relations and Tracy Bronson signed by Anita Wihry, few people have Bigney ’71 (’82MA), director for labor relations actually met her.

It was informally the case with most great puzzles. To organized about six years ago, and has understand it you simply have to know never been part of the official UMO what a prime number is. A prime academic program. Yet, this mostly number is a number than cannot be unknown meeting of a small number of divided by any numbers except itself and UMO mathematics faculty and graduate one. So, for example, 10 is not a prime students may one day make intellectual number because it can be divided by 2 history. and 5.

On the * seminar is Dr. Henry Pogorzelski, a other hand, the following are prime professor in the department of mathe numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and matics. The basis for the seminar is to so forth. discuss and examine some ideas that he There is an inherent fascination about has been in the process of developing for primes.

Every now and then you going on here, and as a writer I see a read in the papers that the next prime possible opportunity to scoop the world, number has been discovered. However, so to speak.

Because the any even number greater than 2 can be absence of a proof for something as expressed as the sum of two primes. So, basic as Goldbach’s Conjecture indicates 4 is equal to 2 + 2, 6 is 3 + 3, 8 is 5 + 3, that we lack some knowledge at the and so on. However, when the numbers fundamental level of mathematics. get larger it becomes much harder to Therefore, the construction of a proof find primes that will add together to for the conjecture involves going back to produce it. Over the years since Gold the very basics of mathematics and bach formulated it, his conjecture has rebuilding the whole structure anew, so always been borne out. Every even to speak. number greater than 2, except those in As Pogorzelski and Ryan begin to the upper stratospheric region of have success in pursuing the possible largeness, where computers are still “spaces” of the primes, they find busily trying to find the next prime, has themselves trying to formalize an exact always been found to be the sum of two mathematical description of the vague primes.

This is disturbing because each other we are led to the fundamental mathematics, as well as of science, takes notion of limit and in turn to calculus, it as essential that truths should be and real and complex analysis, and so derivable from more fundamental on, which are largely applicable to phys axioms and theorems.

The mathematicians who live and work in this totally unexplored territory are engaged in an undertaking of high intellectual adventure. This, despite the fact that like all adventure it has its share of frustration, tedium, and plain soggy shoes. As I sit in their seminar, hardly comprehending the words they intensely exchange in trying to explore the spaces of the primes, let alone the symbols that they quickly scrawl out on the black boards, I nevertheless feel the energy and excitement of the daring and cre ative mind in action. I see the eternal human drama of high hopes, then set backs and disappointments, followed by renewed hope and faith, as they push on in their climb up their own particular mountain, and a huge one it is that they have chosen to scale.
