.. CALIFORNIA POLYTBCHNIC STAT& UNIVERSITY SAN L UIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA 83..07 Volume 26, Number 11 October 22, 1974 Bill passed allo\Ning fee \Naiver for employees taking classes.... ~ Cal Poly President Robert E. Kennedy has sent a memorandum to Glenn S. Dumke, Chancel­ lor of The California State University and Colleges as follows: It was with extreme pleasure that I noted that the Legislature recently passed and the Governor signed Assemblyman Arnett's AB 3958, a Board of Trustee's Bill which allows the Trustees to eliminate or provide reduced fees for California State University and Colleges employees attending on-campus classes. This legislation makes possible a significant benefit to CSUC employees, particularly support staff personnel, by providing a basis for meaningful in-service training and personnel development programs. In view of the positive effect that this could have, particularly upon the morale of staff support personnel, I encourage early action to implement the pro­ vision of this piece of legislation by its effective date of January 1, 1975. I would like to see the matter scheduled as a discussion item at the Council of Presidents meeting on October 28 and 29, and referred to the Board of Trustees for action at its November meeting. I favor elimination or maximum reduction of all fees on a systemwide basis for CSUC employees taking courses which are determined at campus level to either be job related or a part of a formalized career development program. If it would be helpful, I would welcome an opportunity to assist in the development of the guidelines for implementation of this piece of legislation. ~ FINNISH STUDENT !_S RaiARY SCHOLAR AT POLY A 22-year-old engineering student from Finland is the first Rotary International scholar to ever enroll at Cal Poly. Heikki Pahlman was nominated for the prestigious scholarship award by a Rotary Club in Tampere, his home town, and began his studies at Cal Poly last month after nearly three months of language study in Los Angeles. Pahlman, whose mother is a secretary and whose late father was a power p.lant techni­ cian, is a native of Tampere, Finland's second largest city. A junior in electrical engineering, Heikke attended lower schools in Tampere before studying at Tampere University of Technology and Tampere University for the past two years. He does not mind comparing the universities he has been attending in Finland and Cal Poly. He finds both similarities and differences. "Students are taken better care of in California," Pahlman declares, "but the courses are more difficult. For­ tunately you don't have to take as many at a time as we do in Finland." He expects to return to Finland and his university studies when he completes his year of study at Cal Poly in June. , 4t Cal ~ Poly Report - October 22, 1974 - Page 2 RETIREMENT ~NING WORKSHOP SCHEDULED The California Department of Transportation and Cuesta College have scheduled a seven-session retirement planning workshop and have invited those interested ihdividuals on the Cal Poly staff to attend.

Written by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, who were prominent literary and theatrical men in New York during the 1920's and 30's, The Front Page is being directed by Murray Smith (Speech Communication). It is an action-comedy-drama of the newspaper and political circus of the late twenties in Chicago. Scheduled later in the year are An Enemy of the People and The Physicists, both under the direction of Michael Malkin {Sppech Communication), who joined the faculty this fall. An Enemy of the People, written by Henrik Ibsen and adapted by Arthur Miller, will be presented on Feb. 20, 21, and 22. It is about one man's battle against the greed and ignorance of the majority as he fights for what he knows to be right. The Physicists, by Freidrich Duerrenmatt, is about a madhouse with three nuclear physicists as inmates and the safety of the world at stake. It will take place May 22, 23, and 24. All three will be presented at the Cal Poly Theatre with curtain time at 8 pm.

Detailed information and application forms are now available in the Research Development Office (Adm. 317) for priority ~ programs of the Office of Water Research and Technology of the U. S. Depart- ....., ment of the Interior . Proposals may be submitted to OWRT at any time and ~ awards will generally be made on a quarterly basis. However, to allow for review and processing time, it is expected that selections for funding in the first quarter of FY 1976, beginning July 1, 1975, will be made from proposals postmarked not later than January 10, 1975. The following prior­ ity areas will have special interest for this campus: ~ 1) .! 1' Improving Water Resources Planning and Management: The Department of the Interior is initially interested in water resource considerations which will af'f'ect decisions relating to public land energy development programs; multiple use of public land watersheds; outer Continental Shelf leasing programs; and water supply augmentation technology (such as cloud seeding). Research should contribute to the resolution of social, economic, political and legal problem areas (such as multiple jurisdictions and conflicting objec­ tives in regional water resources planning and management). The purpose of the research is to provide a basis for the establishment and implementatiqn of im­ proved mechanisms f'or water resources planning and improvement of management effectiveness. An existing accumulation of knowledge in various fields (statis­ tics, mathematical modeling, planning economics, social sciences, etc.) must be evaluated, demonstrated and made available to water resource planners, developers and managers. Methods must be developed for measuring and demonstrating the effects of proposed plans on regional development and social well-being. Cost allocation methods must also be evaluated. Research is also needed for: a) identifying recipients of esthetic, amenity and recreation benefits; b) establishing methods f'or determining attitudes and public preference with respect to competing demands on the water resources; and c) establishing methods to determine the ability and willingness to pay f'or such benefits~ 2) Solving of Energy-Related Water Problems: It is anticipated that demands f'or water supply will increase substantially f'or mining and processing, expanding . community growth and new towns. Research related to solving problems of water allocation, water quality and adverse environmental and social impacts is need~ ed. Potential issues and problems requiring research include: the impact of' coal mining and oil shale development on local and regional water resources; strip spoil reclamation for reuse and water quality protection; methodology to minimize any adverse water-related consequences (social, economic and environ­ mental resulting from f'ossil fuel development in western United States and Appalachia); analytical modeling of' water supply allocation for fuel processing; acid mine drainage control; underground heat storage or other disp_osal of' waste heat; cooling and process water needs and conservation; water recycling and water reuse; substitution of' low quality water for high quality water in energy development; environmental monitoring; efficient use of water in mining, drill­ ing, processing and transportation of fossil fuels.

Research is needed in the following areas: increasing agricultural productivity of a unit of water; vegetation management for maximum water-use efficiency; watershed yield improvement; .salinity management, including methodology for minimizing the impacts of irrigation return flows on the quality of receiving waters; improved irrigation efficien­ cies; reduction of leakage losses in distribution systems; effective utilization of water resources for range management and public domain lands; economics of agricultural irrigation; urban recycling and reuse of water resources and con­ trols needed to assure water quality acceptability; methods for facilitating ground water recharge in urban areas; conjunctive surface and ground water use; harvesting of water for improving land productivity. 4) Protection of the Environment: Development of methods which will permit use of the natural resources without degrading the environment is an important national objective. Environmental, ecological and limnological research is ~eeded in the following areas: planning for protecting, managing and conserving aquatic and related resources; application of ecological knowledge in conjunction with socio­ economic, political, institutional, legal and related land resources considerations for use of aquatic areas with minimal degradation of the aquatic environment; impacts of energy development, timber harvesting, irrigated agriculture, grazing and water developments on the environment; the best use of water, including consideration of fish and wildlife, esthetic and recreation values, for irri­ gation and other purposes; maintenance, in the best condition possible, of inland and coastal wetlands, lakes, rivers and estuarine resources; in-stream flow requirements for fish and wildlife, esthetic and recreational purposes; manage­ ment of inland and coastal wetlands, lakes and estuarine resources; conservation planning for protection of aquatic ecosystems. *** Briefly Noted.
