This summer he has issued a plea for parents of toddlers and owners of pools to exercise caution in order to prevent tragedy. An assistant clinical professor in pediatrics at Stony Brook. Biancaniello said drowning cases generally involve children, "and. incredibly, most are in street clothes." To emphasize the need for parental supervision, he noted that all 16 near- drowning patients brought to Stony Brook's University Hospital over a four- summer span were children under the age of nine. Thirteen of the 16 were taken from pools—two of them covered. Six of the 16 died. "Even if the patient survives, there's always danger of them having brain damage." Biancaniello said. "About 10 percent of the victims don't actually inhale any water. A mechanism prevents water from going into the lungs But the victim suffers from lack of oxygen. The rest of them will have water going into the lungs. Studies with "Scratchometer," used by Drs.

Sci Fi Forum Rebuilds Members of the Science Fiction Forum, a campus student organization that claims 300 members, are trying to rebuild their library after it was destroyed by fire Friday. June 13 The 7.000-volume library was housed in the basement of Henry (Hendrix) College. The collection, thought to be one of the largest of its kind on the East Coast, lost half its books in the fire Among the items lost were rare collectors' editions, some autographed by authors. Fire marshal John Poulos of the University's Department of Environmental Health and Safety said the cause of the fire was still undetermined.

Music Student Receives 1986 Thayer Fellowship A piano student at Stony Brook was one of only two students honored this year with Thayer Fellowships. The $3,500 fellowship was presented to Cheryl Tschanz by SUNY Chancellor Clifton Wharton, Jr., at a ceremony in Albany. Several weeks later, Tschanz received her Ph.D. in music at Stony Brook. The fellowships were established by Walter N. Thayer, Chair of Whitney Communications Corporation, in honor of his wife Jeanne C. Thayer, who resigned in 1984 from her ten-year tenure on the SUNY Board of Trustees. The awards are intended to assist promising young artists at the beginning of their careers. The other recipient this year was Thomas Sarrantonio, an art student from the State University College at New Paltz. Tschanz said her fellowship stipend will allow her to continue practicing and entering competitions.

Congratulations from SUNY Chancellor Wharton, and a 1986 Thayer Fellowship, go to Stony Brook student Cheryl Tschanz A flounder is the object of everyone s attention, as Marine Sciences Research Center technical specialist Cliff Jones leads a group of Elderhostel visitors.
