TIM1 14E A PUBLICATION FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Vol. 13, No. 2 Pittsburgh, Pa. summer 1981 12 pages Pitt leads When life is discovered in other parts of the universe, it may well be through the ef- forts of a University of Pittsburgh pro- fessor and his ambitious, but quite suc- cessful, program at the Allegheny Obser- vatory on Pittsburgh's North Side. Dr. George Gatewood, a high school dropout who parlayed his interest in astronomy into three degrees from the University of South Florida and Pitt, is an acknowledged leader in the quest to discover other stars, planets and life forms in solar systems beyond our own. Using a telescope built just after the turn of the century by Pittsburgh scientist John Brashear (1840-1920) and a unique elec- tronic star measurement' system, Dr. Gatewood and the Pitt program are far ahead of other universities and obser- vatories attempting to find new planets in -other solar systems. "We will know not only what stars these planets orbit, but we will know the size of the planets and how many major planets are in each of the solar systems that are found,'" the associate professor of physics and astronomy says. "Better, we will know if the new worlds are close enough to their suns to be warm, wet and congenial to life. Then, if we want to try to communicate with other beings, we will then know where to look." The new system that has Pitt ahead in the race was developed by Dr. Gatewood and his associate, Dr. John Stein, and it serves to correct many of the intangibles of star positions that occur during the chemical processing of photographic plates. spce Tagged the Multi-channel Astrometric Photomoter, the device is clamped to the bottom of the old telescope, eliminating the need for a photographic plate. Instead of photographingthe star, the MAP, with the aid of a computer, measures the posi- tions of the stars. A star travelling alone will move in a straight line, but a star with a planet will wobble because of the gravitational pull of the planet. By observ- ing these stars and their nightly positions, it is possible to detect the wobble. life "This is significant because we can make these measurements nightly" Dr. Gatewood says. "Before, it would take a year of photography. Now we are doing it in half an hour and getting better accuracy." How accurate is the MAP system? At- tached to the Thaw refractor telescope at the Observatory, the MAP can measure to the nearest one-millionth of an inch, equal to the face of a rolling dime 1,100 miles away. A new lens could increase that range to 2,800 miles, and an orbiting MAP telescope launched from a space shuttle could accurately measure the dime a million miles away. But how are Dr. Gatewood and his Observatory staff able to keep up the sup- port needed to continue the search? "Only in Pittsburgh could something like this happen," he explains. "It's totally a Pittsburgh effort. We're using a telescope built years ago in Pittsburgh with the modern electronic equipment we've built in Pittsburgh. We have the sup- port of the University as well as our Obser- vatory patrons and the amateur Pitts- burgh astronomers." In a recent letter to friends of the Allegheny Observatory, Dr. Gatewood praised the concerted effort: "Many of our visitors expressed interest in the effect that private support has had on astronomy at the observatory. The ex- plorations of our team of astronomers have been partially underwritten by private dollars. We believe that, the way the people of Pittsburgh support their search favorite interests is what makes our city special. This has certainly been the case in astronomy." In a cold, damp burial crypt beneath the base of the telescope he built 70 years ago lie the remains of John Brashear. "We have loved the stars too foundly to be fearful of the night," reads the epitaph on that crypt, and it was Brashear's love for the stars that planted the seed for the type of work and exploration that he could never have imagined in his lifetime. It is this love for the unknown that keeps Dr. Gatewood and the University of Pitt- sburgh at the scientific forefront in the search for new worlds, and it is this love that precludes their "fear of the night." "If some day we want to send probes to other worlds, we will know exactly where to shoot," Dr. Gatewood says. "And one day, I think we will go there. There seems to be no technical barrier whatsoever." Clarification Nowhere does it say that you can't be an AGF donor. What it does say is you can't bean AGF donor for 1980-81 unless you give before June 30. Check? Cheque! And the winners.. One General Alumni Association trustee was re-elected and another was elected for the first time in- the Association's an- nual election of trustees and at-large representatives to the association's Alum- ni Council. Eugene E. Sillaman, Eng. '50, was re- elected to the three-year trustee position he has held since 1978 while Dr. William F. Donaldson Jr., C '42, Med. '53, was elected to a new three-year term. "The Pitt alumni continue to show their interest and support through the trustees, and I hope I can serve all alumni and a great University well in its continuing con- tribution to our sociey," said Sillaman, the president of Harris Pump and Supply Co. of Pittsburgh. Currently the chairman of the Annual Giving Fund Board of Direc-- tors, Sillaman's past activities include president of both the General Alumni Association and the Engineering Alumni Association. Dr. Donaldson, an internationally known orthopedic surgeon practicing in Pitts- burgh, expressed his gratitude to the alum- ni for "providing me with the exciting op- portunity to serve our University. I pro- mise to serve with diligence and dedication. " Although a newcomer to the board of trustees, Dr. Donaldson has served the Association as a member-at-large of the Alumni Council, its executive committee, chaired the nominating committee and has been a member of many Medical Alumni Association committees. Other members of the six-member board are Paul N. Kuzmich, Cloyd R. Mellott, Irene C. McLenahan and the Hon. Eunice L. Ross. Pitt prof to edit papers The Rev. Romano Stephen Almagno, OFM, a professor in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh, has been named literary ex- ecutor of the late John Cardinal Wright, Bishop of Pittsburgh from 1959 to 1969. Rev. Almagno, a longtime associate of the Cardinal, estimates the project of selecting and editing material for publica- tion will take at least five years, but much of the work will be done in cooperation with the SLIS. After his 10-year tenure as Bishop of Pittsburgh, Cardinal Wright was called to Rome, where he served as a Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Clergy until his death in August, 1979. The highest ranking American in the Vatican, Cardinal Wright was known for his eloquence as well as his s cholarship. His literary remains amount to several hundred boxes of sermons, addresses and letters, spanning the years 1947 to 1969. Rev. Almagno has served as a member of the Theology Se~ction and Head Librarian at the Franciscan Order's Inter- national Research Center in Rome and has worked in the Vatican Library. He has published in the areas of theology and bibliography, and since 1972 has presented courses in critical bibliography and rare book librarianship at the SLTS. -Pictures, other profiles appear on Page 31 LILYAN H.

Summer 1981 ALUMNI TIMES Page 3 Nursing honors Yaskich Dr. Stella Yaksich, who holds three degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, was honored with the' 1981 Nursing Distinguished Alumni Award at the .12th annual Nursing Alumni Day Mar. 7 at Churchill Valley Country Club. More than 155 persons, including 40 senior nursing students, were on hand to honor Dr. Yaksich and Margaret A. Binashesky, who was presented the year's Outstanding Senior Award. Sister Francesca Lumpp, CSJ, Director of Nursing at John J. Kane Hospital presented the feature address, challenging the nurses to "stand in respectful awe of your life, as you approach the old, the hopeless, the comatose, and even the mean and hateful patient." In defining ethics as a "systematic reflection on human conduct," Sr. Lumpp focused on and stimulated thought concer- ning the dilemmas surrounding current nursing practice. She maintained that a set of personal rules and ethics can be established through reverence, fidelity, love, historical perspectives, today's culture and the nurse' s own appreciation of suffering. Dr. Yaksich's honor follows a similar award presented last year by the Graduate School of Public Health. She joined Pitt's nursing faculty in 1956 and has. served as assistant dean for student affairs since 1971. She received her bachelor's degree in nursing in 1953, her master's in public health in 1958 and her doctorate of higher education in 1969. Ms. Binashesky, who maintained a 3.4 QPA, was recipient of the Marchitelli Memorial Scholarship granted by the Air Force and was a candidate for the Na- tional Advisory Council of the Nurge Train- ing Act for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Division of Nursing.

Meds challenge The Pitt School of Medicine has met the challenge, and its scholarship fund will be $250,000 richer for the effort. In the Spring Issue of the Alumni Times, the Kaiser Family Foundation made its challenge to the medical alumni to raise $100,000 in new money to match a $100,000 grant by the Foundation. If the new money could be raised, the Foundation promised an extra $50,000. As of April 30, the school has received approximately $115,000 in pledges, includ- ing $74,000 in pledges already paid. It looks as if the $100,000 challenge will not only be met, but will be exceeded by the end of June. Pitt is one of 12 medical schools in a con- sortium funded by Kaiser, a consortium that includes Case Western Reserve, Chicago, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Har-. vard, Johns Hopkins, Penn, Rochester, Stanford, Washington, and Yale.

Summer 1981 ALUMNI TIMES Page 11 New faces strong offense keys to Panthers season Gone are the Lombardi Award winner, the Outland Trophy Winner, the Heisman runner-up, four All-Americans, 27 let- termen and 15 starters from last season's No. 2 Pitt Panther football team. Gone, in fact, are the very heart and soul of the last four Panther teams that have gone 39-8-1 and had been to four bowl games. "Certainly we're going to have a lot of new faees in our lineup this year," says Coach Jackie Sherill enthusiastically. "But that's what college football is all about. "I'll remind you of this. We experienced the same situation in 1977, the year after our national championship season. Many people said 1976 was the end. But we came back in 1977, won nine games and finished No. 6 in the country." The biggest challenge Sherrill faced this spring was putting together a defensive unit that lost -nine starters. Only linebacker Sal Sunseri and safety Tom Flynn, who saw part-time action, return: Sunseri will be the heart of the defense whil e Flynn could develop into one of the nation's finest defensive backs. Despite the lack of experience, Sherrill feels replacements can be found. This could be a year of offense for Pitt, since the Panthers appear loaded in the of- 1981 Football Guide The 1981 Pitt Football Guide - a m ust for the serious Panther football fan - will be off the presses in August. This year's guide will be crammed with hundreds of facts, pictures and statistics. Use the convenient ticket ap- plication to order yours today. Best seating for top doners Pitt football fans may now purchase season tickets in preferred seating sec- tions of Pitt Stadium by donating at specified giving levels to the Golden Pan- ther Athletic Fund, which is a part of the school's Annual Giving Fund. This priority seating system is a result of spiraling inflation and increased scholar- ship costs. Not only will the tax-deductible contribution help keep Pitt among college football's best, but it will also open up some of the best seats in the stadium for anyone wishing to purchase them. Hlowever, 'season tickets are still available in non-preferred sections for those choosing not to donate, and the pur- chase of individual game tickets is not sub- ject to the priority system. For more information on priority fensive line and have shown a talented and explosive passing game. Four All-American candidates are retur- ning to the offense, inclu ding Dan Marino at quarterback, Dwight Collins at flanker, Emil Boures at offensive guard and Jimbo Covert at offensive tackle. Marino has the potential to be one of the best signal-callers in the nation, and in combination with Collins, the spectacular sophomore speedster, could produce one of the year's best aerial attacks. Pitt will have to rely on a shored-up defense and a strong offensive showing, considering the talent the Panthers face this fall. In addition to Penn State and Florida State at Pitt Stadium, Syracuse will ride into Pittsburgh to test the Panther defense with running back Joe Morris, who has already broken all of Jim Brown's Orangeman rushing records. Ilinois, Ar- my, and Cincinnati round out a bonus six- game home schedule that should provide Panther fans with exciting football entertainment. In just five years of coaching, Jackie Sherrill already ranks 10th on the ist of ac- tive winning coaches in major college foot- ball. The solid, winning football program he has built at Pitt should get its greatest test yet in 1981. P a nther Charter toWVU contest When the Panthers travel to Morgan- town. W.
