A plaque was presented to Biscoe, professor emeritus of physics, during a dedication ceremony May 8. As authorized by the University of Maine System Board of Trustees in March, the plaque notes in its inscription that the Jonathan Biscoe Reading Room is named in appreciation of a beloved teacher, scholar, colleague and friend. Biscoe retired June 1973 "after 27 years of devoted service to the University of Maine, to the Department of Physics and to generations of students.” Biscoe, an Orono resident, joined the UMaine faculty in 1946 and was recipient of the 1968 Distinguished Professor Award. During the dedication ceremony, Kenneth Brownstein, Department chairperson, noted that, in almost 20 years of retirement, Biscoe has "never lost his enthusiasm for the University of Maine or for its students. Jon was a superb teacher. He was a creative scholar in experimental X-ray crys­ tallography (and still comes in to help us when we have prob­ lems in that area). During his tenure, almost one-quarter of the Jonathan Biscoe, left, professor emeritus of physics, is presented a plaque by students who received graduate degrees in physics here were Kenneth Brownstein, chair of the University of Maine Department of Physics and Jon’s students.

4 UMAINE CALENDAR East Antarctica continued from page 1 But the scientific community is deeply divided on whether the thick East Antarctic ice sheet that blankets the region has ever melted in the last 14 million years, and if so, when. Marchant says to get the right answers, scientists must date the evidence researchers in both camps find, such as volcanic ash and the tiny marine diatoms, or single-celled animals, which some scientists believe provide the strongest evidence yet that the ice sheet has melted. Studying the sediments in the Dry Valleys area of Antarctica, the UMaine team used laser technology to date volcanic ash to about 4.3 million years. The team then looked for evidence of a warm climate and characteristics that would indicate changing ice sheets. “If the ice sheets melted, you should see evidence of melt-water streams, glacial out-wash, and mud flows. In fact, all of the things that you see in Switzerland near glaciers should be present in Antarctica. We don’t see this evidence,” Marchant said. Instead, according to Marchant, the team found frost cracks and desert pavement that indicate a climate well below zero. “What we found was that it was a very cold dry climate and there was nothing associated with a warm wet climate,” he said. “Nobody will dispute that marine diatoms exist in terrestrial sediments in the Transantarctic Mountains and that ice sheet collapse is possible under certain climatic conditions. But we see Aerial photo of the Dry Valleys region of East Antarctica where University of Maine scien­ no evidence for ice sheet collapse in the last 4.3 million years,” tists are conducting research.

MAINE PERSPECTIVE 5 Five Employees Cited for Professional Achievements, Service to the University and the Community Five University of Maine employees have been honored with Professional Employee Awards. The annual Professional Employee Awards recognize outstanding achievement in three areas: Professional Achievement, Professional University Service and Professional Community Service. They were presented during an Employee Recognition Banquet last month. The Professional Achievement Award is provided to a profes­ sional employee whose actions and activities demonstrate a dedication to the highest level of professional services within one’s discipline. This includes demonstrated applications of creative problem-solving and loyalty to the institution and its ideals. The professionals in this category encourage others while widely contributing to advances in his or her own area of exper­ tise on the national, state and local levels. A dedication to serving others exemplifies these individuals.

MAINE PERSPECTIVE 7 Orono Nature Trail Named for Longtime University Employee In observance of America’s first National Trails Day June 5, preparations have been under way in Bangor and Orono involving many members of the University of Maine community. Among the special activities planned for the day is the dedica­ tion of the Randall Trail in Orono, named in honor of life-long Bennoch Road resident Donald Randall, a University of Maine employee for 25 years. National Trails Days, spearheaded by the American Hiking Society, is an effort to establish a nationwide network of trails and greenways that would bring trails to within 15 minutes of most American homes. Eventually, primarily through volunteer community efforts, federal, state, local and private paths would be linked together as part of the nation’s planned infrastructure of green, like the interstate highway system. Events are planned in Bangor beginning with a ribbon cutting ceremony at Cascade Park at 9:30 a.m., for the yet-to-be- completed trail winding from Cascade Park to Saxl Park and on to Eastern Maine Technical College. A community trail ride will begin at Cascade Park with bicyclists riding to Veazie where they will be joined by other cyclists as well as horseback riders Members of the University community helping to plan National Trail Days include, left to and walkers. right, Jean Carville, Woody Carville, Sally Jacobs, Jasmine the 11-year-old morgan, and Following a picnic lunch at Asa Adams School, there will be Kathy Carter.

And it will contain items that reflect not only the year the building opened but the faculty who called it their own. "Business is the core of things that happen (in society),' Forsgren said. "Knowing what's happening in business is always a good way to measure change. That's why we're choosing the things we are for the capsule.' Among the items now being considered for inclusion in the time capsule: box of chalk (the new building contains no chalkboards in an effort to eliminate chalk dust that is damaging to computer equipment), a video of Business Administration faculty (the hope is that in 100 years people will still have the capability to view such antiquated tech­ nology), a 1993 Far Side desk calendar by Gary Larson, a computer catalog, an L.L.
