Knight Notes
Hey, Career Service employees! Are you br imming wi th ideas and projects that would better the University? If so, one of those bright ideas should be nominating yourself for a post on Staff Council. Today's the deadline for submitt ing your name so turn to page 6 right now and fi l l out the necessary form and send it on its way.
Sunday should be a hallowed day in the heart? of all us mistook mistrake mistake-makers. That's the date 1 22 years ago a patent was granted for a pencil equipped wi th an eraser.
Many people thought it was a mistake 113 years ago Sunday when the United States purchased Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000 in gold. Might have seemed like a lot of money at the t ime for what seemed to be nothing more than a giant, automatic ice maker, but even at today's gold prices (we tried to f igure that one out but none of us can count that high), it has proven to be a big, beautiful frozen asset.
And don't forget Tuesday's fun—the day set aside each year to al low all of us to officially do what most of us inadvertently do the rest of the year—be foolish! Apri l Fool's Day is thought to have originated in France in 1 594 when the reformed calendar was adopted thereby confusing everyone. Hence, the custom of playing harmless jokes on others was born— no fool in ' .

Wolf, Yousef receive highest honors Excellence in Teaching
Gary Wolf of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts was praised by the awards selection committee for his "dedication and cqntinued interest in teaching and his students." Wolf is professor and chairman of the Department of Music.
In a very few years (he came to UCF in 1972), Wolf has taken the University's music program from basic rhythms to ragtime; from tentative to treasurable, from fourth-class to first-class. Through his efforts, in concert w i th his fel low faculty members, the reputation of music at UCF has reached new crescendos.
Equally at home at the organ, Wolf manages to bring to his teaching and his performances the deft touch of the artist who plays to his listeners and not to himself. The popularity of his recitals, accompaniments and even his lessons offer much more than mute testimony to his skills.
As an artist who opted to share his talent w i th others, Wolf occupies a particularly warm spot in the hearts of music-lovers and students alike.
He is, indeed, "Mr . Mus ic" at
the University of Central Florida. Wolf obtained his BME in piano
and clarinet in 1955 at Wichita State University, his M M in 1960 and doctorate in 1964, both at Eastman School of Music. He attended the Mozarteum, Salzburg, Austr ia, in 1960-61 as a Fulbright Scholar.
He is vice president of the American Matthay Association and wi l l be its president next year.
Excellence in Research and
Creative Scholarship
Yousef A. Yousef of the College of Engineering was honored for his "sustained record in research." As one of the vanguard of environmental engineers at UCF, he has in the past decade contributed immensely to campus and community wi th the kind of professionalism that earned for him Researcher of the Year honors from the Foundation.
To list the accomplishments of Yousef would take far more space than available. His list of publications alone would fil l a page of small type. His funded research tops the $1 mil l ion mark; his work w i th high school students in UCF's nationally recognized summer SEEK (Save the Earth's Environment through Knowledge) program is legend (it won the Walt Disney Community Service Award); his work in pollution control has brought him the coveted Gordon J. Barnett Professorship in Environmental Systems Management.
.Since 1974, he has been director of the Environmental Systems Engineering Institute at
UCF. A professor of civil engineering
and .environmental sciences in the College of Engineering, Yousef joined UCF in 1970. His BSCE was earned at Alexandria University, Egypt, in 1952. Both his MSSE (1 962) and PhD (1965) he obtained from University of Texas at Aust in. He's had 32 major publications, made 24 presentations of research studies to agencies and societies.

Research awards went to Fredric E. Fedler (Social Sciences), John P. Idoux (Natural Sciences), Marcella L. Kysilka (Education), Thomas A. Mul l in (Health), and Bruce F. Pauley (Humanities and Fine Arts).
Each college was asked to submit the names of their top faculty members in teaching and in research (this year the College of Business Administrat ion did not name a researcher).
These 13 nominations were then studied by committees chaired by Frank Juge (teaching)
and Joan Burr (research). "The weight of the evidence in
the background of the two top recipients compelled our committees to recognize their outstanding achievements," Juge explained. "We felt both of them were worthy of recognition by the Foundation in a significant way. "
In addition to the faculty awards, 10 individuals and organizations were inducted into the prestigious Society of President's Medall ion. The medallion they received is a replica of the badge of office worn by presidents of UCF at official ceremonies, and is conferred on individuals who have provided an exceptional level of private support to the University.
Named members of this group were Jack Holloway (ABC Liquors, Inc.), Mrs. Gordon J. Barnett (Gordon J. Barnett Foundation), Mrs. J. K. Galloway, Carl J . Schilke (Harcar A luminum Products Company), Robert J . Whalen (Mart in Marietta Aerospace), Charles N. Mi l l ican, Ben Moss, Charles Brumback (Sentinel Star Company), Colonel and Mrs. E. L.

The National Science Foundation-funded program begins June 30. Six quarter hours of graduate credit wi l l be awarded. There is no tui t ion charge.
The month-long session, directed to teachers w i th little or no background in the physical sciences, is the ninth teacher training program at UCF since 1970 to be funded through the physics department, for a total of $276,000, according to Jack Brennan, program director.
"Our summer program is designed to assist and encourage teachers to utilize laboratory activities in science in their home classrooms." Brennan explained. "Participants wi l l learn how science activities can be integrated into reading, language arts, social sciences and mathematics."
Teachers who attend wi l l receive a book allowance, be reimbursed for mileage, and wi l l be eligible for up to 80 percent of their living expenses over the four weeks if they live too far from UCF to commute.

The UCF men's and women's tennis teams are fol lowing the winn ing tradit ion established by all the other Knight teams so far this spring.
The men's team, coached by Henry Brandon, sported a 1 5-4 mark on the season going -into a match last Saturday wi th Wright State.
The men started the season strong by winn ing 14 of their first 1 5 matches. They then went into a mild slump, dropping their next three matches in a row to Division I teams, Columbia University and the University of Kentucky, and perennial Division II power, Hampton Institute. The Knights bounced back from those defeats to edge the University of Mississippi 5-4.
"We' re doing very wel l and I'm pleased," stated Brandon. "We've played a lot of Division I teams and the record we've got speaks for itself."
Tom Lucci of Youngstown, Ohio, continues to hold the No. 1 singles spot, sporting a 1 6-3 record so far this year.
"The No. 1 singles position is awful ly tough," said Brandon. "You're going up against the top talent on the opposing team all the t ime and Tom has just done an excellent job for us."
Freshmen have also been doing the job for Brandon this season. Gilbert Chappell from Merri t t Island has a 16-3 record and recently moved up to the No. 3 singles spot, and Orlando's Dave
Chafe has lost only four matches. "Our freshmen are playing very
we l l , " the coach said. "I couldn't ask for anything better."
Upcoming opponents for Brandon's squad include Bowling Green State University, the Air Force Academy, Florida International, Florida Atlantic, Bucknell University, Upsala College, the University of South Florida, and cross-town rival Rollins College.
On the women's side, Coach
Rocky Thomas and her netters have compiled an 11 -5 record.
Following a week's break, they wi l l be playing six matches in as many days against such schools as Rollins College, the University of Denver, Flagler College, the Air Force Academy, Florida Southern, and Kent State.
Leading the women in wins is Kim Zurawicki w i th a record of 1 3-3. She and partner Susan Rushing have compiled a 13-3 record in doubles play.

President to inaugurate links
Fore! Frisbee disc golf course opens next week President Colbourn wi l l tee-off
toward a palm tree the morning of Apri l 3 to inaugurate UCF's new Frisbee disc golf course, hailed by its designer as a sure cure for the blahs.
Wi th his 11 a.m. ceremonial first toss—using a special gold disc— UCF's president wi l l signal the start of the first round through the unique course, which replaces tradit ional holes w i th trees, lamp posts, f ire hydrants, a caution sign and other equally strange targets.
Loren Knutson, director of recreational services at UCF, the man responsible for the Frisbee disc course, is convinced it's a winner. He bases that premise on the number of inquiries from UCF Frisbee fans who've been wait ing for just such an opportunity to show off their prowess.
" I believe this wi l l be one of the more used and appreciated recreation facilit ies on our campus," Knutson declared. His experience in developing the UCF course wi l l be the subject of a presentation he'll make in late Apri l at the National • Intramural/Recreat ional Sports Association conference, "A Low /No Cost Frisbee disc Golf Course on Your Campus."
Players tee off next to the kiosk, east of the reflecting pond, for hole No. 1 of the 18-hole course. From there, the course crisscrosses
campus—including a pitch through the service tunnel behind the Library—for 1,742 meters. Par is 68.
Each " h o l e " or target is painted wi th three gold rings. Champions must hit the mark between the top two rings—duffers can hole out by hitt ing the target between the top and bottom rings.
The course is open to all—bring
your own Frisbee or check out a disc through the Recreational Services office, next to the swimming pool. Knutson said score cards wi l l be kept on hand at the kiosk. He asks players to return completed score cards so he and his staff can properly handicap the course. Drop boxes at the kiosk wi l l be set up for collection.

Ecology Committee gives approval to Lake Claire plan
Unanimous approval was given last week by the University's Ecology Committee for a $25,000 renovation of the Lake Claire recreation area, proposed by Student Government.
Appearing before the committee, Student Body President Armando Payas outl ined a plan of improvement which includes the construction of two roofed, open-air pavill ions complete w i th picnic tables and barbecue grills. Additionally, the beach area would be cleared and enlarged; a sprinkler system and sod would enhance the recreation area itself; and security fencing would be erected.
The recreation and beach areas wi l l be off- l imits to vehicles. Telephone pole sections wi l l be installed to prohibit driving beyond
the parking area. "Since the natural ecology of
the area would not be disturbed as they (Student Government) are merely improving the area already in use as a recreational facility, we approved the p lan, " explained Ralph D. Gunter, committee chairman.
Also approved " in concept" was the construction of an outside study pavil l ion, to be built in the tr iangular area bounded by the General Classroom Building, the Humanit ies and Fine Arts Building, and the Library. Plans call for a roofed, open-air structure w i th a number of tables for studying.
Final approval awaits specific architectural drawings, Gunter indicated.
Payas said he is hoping for an end-of-June completion date for both projects.

Census survey asks you to stand up and be counted
Calendar
By BERNADETTE CROTTY
The 1980 Census officially begins Apri l 1, when Central Floridians, along w i th Americans across the nation, wi l l receive a census questionnaire in the mail. (If you live in a rural area, census enumerators wi l l make a personal visit.)
As outl ined in the Constitution, the primary purpose of the census is to determine how many delegates each state wi l l have in the House of Representatives.
"Florida stands to pick up two representatives," predicted James Ammons, assistant professor of Public Service Administrat ion. He based his prediction on data collected during research on the Frostbelt-to-Sunbelt migration that has been underway for the past ten years. The study indicates Sunbelt cities increase in population at a rate of 1.8 percent each year.
Since population shifts lead to changes in political, social and economic structures, the 1980 Census wi l l provide scientists, educators and planners a " m a p " for future planning to meet the needs of this changing population.
"The census is a valuable too l , " emphasized John Stewart, director of the Atlanta Regional Census Bureau. "Uti l izing the data we collect, the government can pinpoint where housing is needed, where new schools need to be built, if a community needs additional health services, and where job training is needed due to an increase in unemployment."
Originally, the census was strictly a head count of free whi te males and females, " f reed others," and slaves. But the 1 980 Census wi l l tell much more about
our population, gathering information on education, housing, ethnic background, occupations, transportation, and energy.
All data is confidential. By law, the Census Bureau cannot release ANY information about you to anyone—including other Federal agencies—except you, your heirs, or a representative authorized by you.
Carpool response runs out of gas
A recent survey designed as an attempt to create a University carpool produced minimal response. Only 12 employees returned the survey circulated by the University Carpooling Committee.
Reflecting on the poor response, Bill Morris, committee chairman, indicated that those who failed to respond are apparently carpooling already or are "people still not interested in giving up their f lexibi l i ty."
Those who did return the survey, however, were easily matched up, according to Morris.
Since the initial survey appeared a month ago, gasoline has risen approximately 25 cents a gallon. That increase coupled wi th the proposed tax on imported crude oil which would boost the rate another 10 cents a gallon, might encourage more employees to think seriously about carpooling.
"When gasoline prices near the $2 mark, we' l l likely get more participants in the program," Morris predicted.
Faculty and staff who were not included in the survey and who are looking for a driver or rider(s) to form a carpool should call Morris's office, x2113.
