On Campus (November 6, 1978)

              On Campus
FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY
LETTER TO THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY
I would like to thank each of you for
your support in making the inauguration
and symposium a success.  Many of the
guests commented on the evident spirit
and pride of the campus community and
left with very favorable feelings toward
Santa Cruz.
The dedication and unity displayed last
week are extremely important to develop
the necessary support and goodwill,
both on and off campus, that will
enable the success of our renewal
effort.
Again, I thank you and I ask for your
continued backing in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Sinsheimer
Chancellor
LIBERAL ARTS TO
BE TOTH TOPIC
It's back to the College Five Served Dining
Room for the next Teacher on the Hill Round
Table Luncheon, Thursday, November 9, from
noon to 2 p.m.
The topic will be Liberal Arts Education:  Why
Do We Need It?  Ideas presented during the recent
symposium will doubtless contribute to some
stimulating discussion, says coordinator Frank
Andrews.  Discussion leaders will be:  Michael
Cowan (Merrill/literature), "The Case for
General Education"; Jim Pepper (College Eight/
environmental studies), "Liberal Arts in the
Professional World"; and George Von der Muhll
(College Five/politics), "Breadth Requirements."
"Nearly 50 people attended the last TOTH lunch.
The College Five Served Dining Room doesn't hold
that many, so we suggest you get your reservation in early, says Andrews.
Call Lee Jones, X4380/2814, or Frank Andrews,
X2246, for reservations.
CONFERENCE ON
INNOVATION AND BUSINESS
A three-day "Conference on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and the University," sponsored by
the National Science Foundation, will bring a
roster of prominent leaders in business, education, government, and science to Oakes College
November 8, 9, and 10.
Conference participants will explore ways to
cultivate technical innovation and entrepreneurial endeavors in a university setting.  They will
review the activities of the four Innovation Centers already in operation at universities in the
U.S. and discuss the potentials and limitations
of such center, among other topics.
The conference is being organized by Narinder
S. Kapany, himself an innovator-entrepreneur with
over 100 patents to his credit, who is an adjunct professor of sciences and director of the
Oakes College Science Program here.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
HERE FOR HOLIDAYS
Forty-four international students are living
and studying at Merrill College this year at
the Center for American Language Studies.  They
are all interested in American culture as well
as English language and look forward to spending time with American families.
The students will be staying at UCSC during
the Thanksgiving break and over the Christmas
holidays.
If anyone would like to invite a student to
share in holiday activities, or simply to visit
at another time, please contact Judy Liles at
X2024.
Your hospitality will be very much appreciated by our students, says Judy.
OPEN HOUSE AT NEW LONG LAB
The people at UCSC's Center for Coastal Marine
Studies are about to celebrate completion of
phase I construction at their new Joseph M. Long
Marine Laboratory on Younger Lagoon (just west of
Natural Bridges State Park).  On Friday,
December 1, the new oceanside facility will be
dedicated in the morning, then opened for
inspection to all the campus community from
3 to 5:30 that afternoon.
Another Open House for all the Monterey Bay
community, including campus families, will be
held on Saturday, December 2, from 11 a.m. to
4 p.m.
The lab contains a complete seawater pumping
system, three outdoor tanks to hold small
marine mammals, several haul-out pools, an
aquarium building and a research support building-
all situated at the ocean's edge, just a
ten-minute drive from the campus.
Center faculty and students will be on hand to
explain the work being done in various parts of
the lab, and one room during the Open House will
feature marine art work and projects done by
students.
