+UCF REPORT Volume 11, Number 18 For Faculty and Staff March 22,1989
Four UCF researchers star on governor's top ten list Four of UCF's faculty were among 10
Floridians to receive the first annual Governor's Awards for Outstanding Contributions to Science and Technology on March 7.
Karl Guenther, Donald Malocha, Nar-singh Deo and Michael Moshell of UCF were honored at the governor's mansion in a reception arranged by the Florida High Technology & Industry Council and sponsored by four related industries.
"High technology is the way of the future and these scientists are paving the way with their ideas, their research and their contributions," Governor Bob Martinez said. "I'm pleased to recognize them for the vision they have brought to their work, and especially for the potential they have given our state in terms of economic development and industry."
Guenther, an associate professor of electrical engineering and physics, has concentrated his research on thin film optics at the CREOL labs in Central Florida Research Park. He has developed multi-layer coatings for mirrors, lenses and other optics for use in la
sers. These coatings, or thin films, avert damage to the mirrors inside lasers and increase laser effectiveness.
Malocha, professor of electrical engineering and communications science, earned special attention for his work in analog signal processors. He is working on the next generation of analog signal
processors for high-speed communication and signal processing systems.
Narsingh Deo, holder of the Miliican chair and professor of computer science, was recognized for producing parallel computer software for engineering and scientific applications, making it possible to solve multiple computational

problems simultaneously. Moshell, associate professor of com
puter science, developed basic technology for military simulation and training. His innovative software describes scenarios that involve complex motions such as defending an aircraft carrier, participating in tank maneuvers, simulating population dynamics and troubleshooting complex electrical equipment.
The University of Miami had two researchers in medical fields among the honored. Two from the University of Florida were included, one for laser use to clear blocked arteries, and the other for computer database technology supporting industry and business
The final two in the select group included an associate dean at the University of South Florida, who streamlined and improved the way university researchers apply for funding by the High Tech Council, and a vice president of Harris Corporation who has been a leader encouraging collaboration between university researchers and Florida's high tech industry.
'Honor Excellence' theme chosen for Founders' Day Faculty, students and staff will "honor
excellence" on April 12 at a convocation featuring faculty and student awards and an address by Dr. Robert Atwell, president of the American Council on Education.
The "honor excellence" theme has been attached to UCF's first Founders* Day program, which will begin at 2:15
p.m. on Wednesday, April 12, during a period of suspended classes. The Founders' Day designation itself honors the men and women of Central Florida whose vision of a university dedicated to excellence has been fulfilled by student and faculty achievement.
"Although UCF has existed for less than three decades, it has reached the
stage of development where a celebration keyed to the institution's core academic mission is most fitting," Dr. Robert McGinnis, vice president for University Relations, said. "It is doubly appropriate to name the celebration in recognition of the people of Central Florida whose high standards set the tone for the evolution of our institution." The
University Relations Division is taking the lead in organizing the event.
The program, to be held in the Education Building Gymnasium, will be followed by a reception and will occur during a 2-4 p.m. period of suspended classes. The UCF Teacher of the Year, Distinguished Researcher and Librarian

McTARNAGHAN WOODWARD STROUP ALTMAN NITZSCHKE
Presidential hopefuls meet campus, community family By mid-April the Florida Board of Re
gents should have named UCF's third president and the likely choice will be one of the candidates pictured above.
The lengthy, but still fast-paced schedule of selecting a president for one of the nine state universities, is in the stage where each of the five advanced to the final round faces small groups on campus and over the dining table.
Roy McTarnaghan, vice chancellor in the Florida State University System, completed his three-day visit last week.
James H. Woodward, senior vice president, University College, University of Alabama, Birmingham, is in the middle of his visit today.
Kala M. Stroup, president of Murray State University, Kentucky, begins her visit on Thursday of this week.
Steven Altman, president of Texas A&l University, Kingsville, arrives on March 28.
Dale Nitzschke, president of Marshall University, Huntington, WV, rounds out the group interviews, beginning his visit on March 30.
The Board of Regents Selection Com-mitteee has a tentative schedule to meet at UCF on April 7 with all five of the candidates. With the help of Chancellor Charles B. Reed, the Selection Committee will recommend one to a meeting of the full Board of Regents, and that is expected to result in the appointment of
the next UCF president by mid-April. David Scott, professor of Finance and
chair of the Search Advisory Committee, stressed the opportunity everyone who works at the University has to participate in the remaining interview sessions. The whole process has been open so that anyone could hear, meet and question the candidates.
The chairman of the Board of Regents, the chancellor and his representative, and Scott has each encouraged maximum participation. As the field of candidates narrowed the decisions of the chancellor and the BOR Selection Committee have reflected the recommendations of the locally-composed Search Committee.
When the Search Committee tallied their reactions in February to a field made up of 31 candidates, the five candidates with the highest scores are the five recommended by Chanclellor Reed and approved for the current interviews by the Selection Committee on March 13.
People attending the current interviews are furnished evaluation sheets to fill out and return to Scott. The evaluations will be sent to the SUS office for inclusion in notebooks on each candidate that regents will review before making the final choice, Scott said.
"It is one more chance to get involved and have a voice in this important decision," he said.

GusLyles March 1989 Employee of the Month
"It's the way you come across across the counter that leaves a lasting impression on students."
That's Gus Lyles speaking. Senior clerk supervisor Lyles in the Records and Registration side of the Registrar's Office.
He's explaining the mission of the office: To provide service to students, alumni, faculty and staff, applicants, prospective applicants, families and friends of students, visiting dignitaries and representatives of other agencies.
The soul-searching is because his name was drawn "out of a hat" of names submitted for Employee of the Month and he has that honor for March of 1989. Associate Registrar Carol Larson nominated him with the appraisal: "Gus is the best! He continually displays a positive attitude and is helpful to students and staff."
Lyles, a 30-year Navy man isn't so sure the people who work for him share the enthusiasm for his virtues. "I'm tough on them (five other clerks and six student assistants). I insist that when they deal with students--or anyone else on the other side of the counter-that they are friendly, helpful, sincere, accurate and fair.
"After all, their impression of the University is affected by the treatment they get from us," he said, recalling that 18,400 students were enrolled "and they all have need for our services every semester."
Aside from working, which he enjoys very much and wants to keep on doing as long as he can, Lyles likes spectator sports, "all of them," and is in the stands for most of UCF's home football games "and a lot of them" that are not at home.
Before he joined the Registration Office in January 1977 Lyles lived the Navy life around half the world, exiting as a master chief yeoman, processing paperwork for the Navy in such places as Iceland, Ethiopia, Frankfurt, Madrid, Pearl Harbor and a couple tours on shipboard.
When he helped open the Orlando Naval Training Center in June 1968 the idea formed that the Lyleses should live in Orlando in life after Navy. A couple years duty in Connecticut and a couple more in Pensacola and Lyles was ready to relax on the golf course of Orlando. A year of golfing convinced him that he really likes to work. The University looked like a good place to work and that's how his second career started.
All his working days Lyles has been challenged by mountains of paper. Technology moved some of that information onto microfiche, thin little sheets -of film that can hold 98 legal-sized pages, enough for most student files. But even those film wafers can fill a vault in time and cant be recalled as fast as information stored in a computer.
Student grades have been on computer for some time and the trend is to get every bit of information stored in the minimum space known to technology.
The three-times a year registration process provides the office with periods of heavy work loads. Withdrawals and grade postings provide the other rushes. Summer brings the longest "slack" time but enrollment growth has about eliminated the quiet time.
As for his second retirement that's so far off there's no use thinking about it. He's played golf and he'd rather work.
GUS LYLES, SENIOR CLERK SUPERVISOR, IN RECORDS .. .he'd rather keep records for UCF than set records at golf

Human space is the goal of Alumni Plaza
Construction began last week on the facelift in front of the Administration Building to be known as the Alumni Plaza.
A hardscape and irrigation contract in the amount of $89,900 was awarded to Hunter-Nelson Inc., Orlando general contractor, to install an irrigation system, new walkways and brick walls.
The contractor has 70 days to complete the job, which includes a redesigned walk of natural gray concrete, with a raised 10-foot diameter circle for flowering annuals in the middle of the walk. The wall around this circle will be a comfortable height for sitting.
A four-foot wide band of brick will mark another circle six feet beyond the sitting wall. Spaced at regular intervals in this circle will be three-foot squares for shade trees.
Outside the gray walk and following its irregular contours will be two brick walls, varying from three to six feet high. Alumni who have donated $1,000 or more to the Alumni Trust Fund will be remembered permanently with inscriptions on these walls.
Earth berms planted with holly will slope away from the walls into the grassed space beyond where six magnolia trees will complete the landscape.
Ken-Lin Landscaping and Maintenance Service Inc., Alafaya Trail, has a $17,500 contract for the landscaping. Ken-Lin will have 10 days for their work, beginning when Hunter-Nelson is finished.
"The goal of this redesign of the entry to the University's Administration Building," University Planning Director Jerry Osterhaus explained, "is to create a human space-to complement and not compete with the Administration Building."
Ivey, Bennett, Harris and Walls Inc., Orlando, designed the Alumni Plaza.
Biennial election process begins for Staff Council

Architects invited on Chem remodeling
Advertising was started last week by the State University System for offers by architects to design the UCF Chemistry Building remodeling.
UCF's Facilities Planning Director Jerry Osterhaus said the construction part of remodeling will be in two phases, budgeted at approximately $1.1 million and $1.7 million
The first phase is in this year's capital construction projects for UCF that the SUS will ask the legislature to fund. It consists primarily of asbestos abatement and bringing the building up to current fire codes.
The second phase will upgrade the laboratories and improve the heating-airconditioning system.
