On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY March 25, 1983 Lecture series bring biologists to UCSC An anonymous gift of $10,000, given to UCSC's Biology Board of Studies, is being used to invite prominent scientists to the campus so that they can share recent discoveries in biological research with faculty and students. Named the Helen C. Escolle Seminar Series, the program of seminars and lectures was established in memory of a former UCSC student's mother. Cancer researcher Beatrice Mintz recently visited the campus under the new program, and delivered a public talk on "Changing the Genes of Mice." A scientist at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, Dr. Mintz has made several fundamental discoveries in the areas of developmental biology and genetics. One example is her demonstration that cells from several individual mice can be fused to form a single embryo. The mouse that develops from the embryo therefore has as many as four different parents. Stevenson names third Fellow US Senator Paul S. Sarbanes (D-Maryland) has been named an Adlai E. Stevenson Fellow, and will visit the campus from March through April 6. Sarbanes is the third such Fellow, following George McGovern and Bella Abzug. Established by David Kaun after he was appointed Provost at Stevenson College, the Fellows Program brings prominent figures to UCSC to discuss significant world developments with both campus and community members. A Senate representative since 1976, Sarbanes achieved a measure of notoriety during the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon. He was a junior member of the select drafting committee that honed the articles of impeachment, and guided them through the committee's sessions. Ultimately, the Judiciary Committee adopted the "Sarbanes Article" in approving its first historic charge against Nixon, accusing him of covering up the Watergate scandal. The son of an immigrant Greek restaurant worker, Sarbanes graduated from Princeton University and then studied in Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. After a stint at Harvard Law School, he clerked for Federal Judge Morris Soper before going into private practice in Baltimore. After four years in the Maryland House of Delegates, Sarbanes was elected in 1970 to the first of three terms in the House of Representatives. In 1976, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he has served as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee; the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee; and the Joint Economic Committee. While at UCSC, Sarbanes will make a series of classroom visits and informal discussions with faculty, students and members of the community. On Monday, April 4, Sarbanes will give a public talk at Stevenson College Night on the topic of "Rhetoric and Reality: Reagan's Foreign Policy." Free blood pressure checks As a service to the UCSC community, the Campus Health Service is offering free blood pressure check-ups Monday through Friday, 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. daily. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular illness and death. When recognized and effectively treated, hypertensives can expect a normal life span. Don't take chances with your health—drop by the Health Center for a free blood pressure evaluation. Study abroad next year April 18 is the deadline for Fulbright Program grant applications. Adviser Diane Matus of Career Planning and Placement reports that 1983-4 grants are now available in several additional countries, including Algeria, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Thailand, and Tunisia. Interested applicants should contact Matus at x2183 as soon as possible. On Campus is published by the Public Information Office for the faculty, staff, and students of UC Santa Cruz. Material may be submitted in writing to Karen Rhodes, Editor, On Campus, Public Information, Carriage House. Items submitted via UNIX A may be mailed to account pio. Submission deadline for the April 8 issue is Monday, March 28, at 5 p.m.
