CHAMPAGNE CELEBRATION
A Champagne Celebration to honor the quarter century of
collaboration between Ron Caple, professor, Department of Chemistry,
UMD and William A. Smit, professor, Zelinsky Institute of Organic
Chemistry and the Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia will be
held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10. The location will be announced.
In 1974 a brief thaw in the Cold War led to an exchange
agreement between the US and Soviet Academy of Sciences. Ron Caple
applied to be an initial participant in this venture and spent a
sabbatical leave that year in the laboratories of William A. Smit.
This Institute was the premier research institute of organic
chemistry in the Soviet Union. Caple and Smit studied addition
reactions in synthetic organic chemistry. Their cooperative research
efforts led to the development of the successful concept of
utilizing stepwise electrophilic additions for the construction of
complex organic structures. Their investigations are internationally
recognized with numerous publications and plenary lectures. The
Champagne Celebration will review the events of these past 26 years
including slides and stories.

Campus News
DISABILITY AWARENESS MONTH
A snow sculpture replica of FDR, located in front of Vermillion Hall,
set the groundwork for Disability Awareness on the UMD campus during
the month of March. The Access Center and Access For All (AFA), the
student group which promotes disability awareness, have worked
together using the theme, "ADA makes life easier for all of us."
AFA recruited the assistance of Duluth Snow Sculptor, Harry
Welty, to assist them with the project. The snow sculpture replicated
the newly dedicated statue of FDR and shows the wartime president in
a wheelchair. After contracting polio, Roosevelt designed his own
wheelchair and used it for more than two decades. However, he was
almost never photographed in it because he feared Americans would see
his disability as a sign of weakness. Although the original FDR
memorial includes a statue of Roosevelt covered with a cloak as he
sits in a chair, the two tiny wheels in the back of the chair are
barely visible. This new statute vividly illustrates that a
disability doesn't prevent you from doing what you want to do.
Other activities during the month of March include displays in
the Red Concourse promoting Awareness and Universal Design and a
student table. The table in Kirby, sponsored by Access for All,
allows people to try their hand at marshmallow snow sculpting while
learning more about disability awareness.

matter and course, effective communication, knowledge of and
enthusiasm for the
subject matter and teaching, positive attitude toward students and
encouragement of intellectual activity, fairness in examinations and
