On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY May 30, 1986 A teacher deserving of the honor Eugene Switkes, professor of chemistry, was named winner of the eighth annual Distinguished Teaching Award at a reception at University House May 16. The annual award is given by the Alumni Association to a faculty member in recognition of contributions made to the excellence of undergraduate education. Making the presentations were John Dizikes, winner of last year's award, and Stevenson College alumnus Doug Kaplan (class of '74), who chaired the all-alumni selection committee. Alumni Association President Rob Franks (Crown '75) presented Switkes with a $500 cash award. A theoretical chemist, Switkes came to UCSC in 1971. His research is divided into two major projects: theoretical chemistry and information processing in visual perception. In 1983 he was given the Excellence in Teaching Award by the Northern California Association of Phi Beta Kappa. Students laud Switkes's talents as a professor, citing his clear and concise lectures and the rapport and mutual respect he shares with them. According to the alumni selection committee, Switkes, like previous recipients of the award, is "enthusiastic, committed, inspir- (continued on next page) On Campus is published by the Public Information Office for the faculty, staff, and students of UC Santa Cruz.

Funding approved for Nat Sci III The state legislature broke precedent with past budget- making decisions earlier this month when it put its final stamp of approval on funding for construction of Natural Sciences III, a $22.7 million project at UCSC that features a building environment specifically designed to foster multi-disciplinary science instruction and research. Once occupied, Natural Sciences III will bring together faculty researchers in biology, biochemistry, and biophysics, releasing needed space in UCSC's Natural Sciences II and Applied Sciences buildings for programs in astronomy, physics, marine sciences, and earth sciences. "This is the first time in the history of the state that the legislature has approved a science facility with interactive space," says Stephen M. Reed, director of community and legislative relations. "Our local legislators. Senator Henry Mello (D-17th District) and Assemblyman Sam Farr (D-29th District), were instrumental in obtaining the building's swift and enthusiastic approval in the assembly and the senate." At $22.7 million, the structure is also the largest state capital expenditure for a single project in the history of the twenty-year-old UCSC campus. "This building is a prototype," says Professor of Biology Charles Daniel. Daniel chairs the Natural Sciences III Building Committee, which is responsible for seeing that the building meets the needs of users. "Most important, of course, it is designed to provide laboratory facilities suitable for the most advanced research in molecular biology and biochemistry. In addition, it is the first state-funded science facility to incorporate features of design that encourage creativity and productivity through increased communication. It is an innovative building, not stamped to (continued on next page)
