Annual Williamson Lectureship Back For 29th Year on March 3 – The 29th annual Williamson Lectureship series will be held on the campus of Eastern New Mexico University on March 3, 2005. The day’s events include a luncheon, hosted by noted science fiction author Connie Willis. The luncheon will begin at 11:45 a.m. in the Campus Union Ballroom and will be attended by Dr. Jack Williamson and guest speakers Gregory Benford and Walter Jon Williams. There will also be a panel presentation by the authors at 7 p.m. that evening in Buchanan Hall of the Music Building. This year’s lectureship will address “Posthumanity Evolving,” and will engage the audience in discussion.

The lectureship honors distinguished science fiction author, scholar and Emeritus Professor of English Jack Williamson, whose recent and widely acclaimed novel,
“Terraforming Earth,” (2001) will soon be joined by “The Stonehenge Gate” (Tor, anticipated publication, August 2005). Joining Dr. Williamson will be two other noted science fiction authors, Gregory Benford and Walter Jon Williams.

Benford is a physicist and astronomer at the University of California, Irvine, and serves as a consultant for NASA. His best-known novel, “Timescape” (1980), his popular Galactic Center series “In The Ocean of Night” (1977), “Across the Sea of Suns” (1984), and "many others are all marked by the talent of a gifted writer and the knowledge of a practicing scientist," according to a supplied biography.

Walter Jon Williams is the author of 20 novels and several short story collections. His science fiction is "varied, intelligent and powerfully imaginative," according to his bio. "Hardwired" (1986) and "Voice of the Whirlwind" (1987) extend cyberpunk in new directions. "The Rift" (1999), "Metropolitan" (1995), "City on Fire" (1996, Hugo and Nebula nominee), and his trilogy of "Dread Empire’s Fall" "create worlds that readers want to explore and long to escape from," according to his bio.

According to The International Science and Engineering Fair official rules, students wishing to participate in the fair need not have been previously entered in any other fair, although some of the schools in the district send their winners. Home-schooled students are also eligible to enter, as are students from the public schools, even if their teacher isn’t sponsoring them.

The fair has 13 categories: Behavioral and Social Sciences, Biochemistry (senior division only), Botany, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth and Space Sciences, Engineering, Environmental Science, Mathematics, Medicine and Health Science, Microbiology, Physics, and Zoology. The fair is divided into two divisions: A junior division that includes 6th through 8th grades, and a senior division for 9th through 12th grades, according to Rosemary Mathews, secretary for the mathematical sciences department. Fair day consists of four activities: setting up, free time, interviews with judges, and an awards assembly. Lunch will be provided for participants and their sponsors.

Winners of 1st and 2nd place in their categories are invited to exhibit their projects at the New Mexico Science Fair held at New Mexico Tech University in Socorro in April. Each Regional Science Fair sends two delegates to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which are held this year in Phoenix, Ariz., on May 8-14.

For additional information on the International Science and Engineering Fair rules and regulations, please visit the ISEF website at www.sciserv.org/isef.

Relay for Life Fundraiser a Success – The Roosevelt County Relay For Life’s Art Auction fundraiser was a success due to support from several local artists, banking institutions, and art patrons. Nine local artists, Marilyn Rigsby of Investments Out West, Phillip Million, Doris Fleming, LaWanda Calton, Jula May, Betsy Freeman, Shirley Ford, Tim McGee, and Lois Fox, donated art pieces to Relay For Life for the fundraiser. Roosevelt County banking institutions, Access Bank, Portales National Bank, and Wells Fargo, provided display space for the art pieces during the auction. Many art patrons participated to bid on the pieces provided by the artists. The Roosevelt County Relay For Life was able to raise nearly $1,800 to aid in the fight against cancer. The Art Auction was the first fundraiser leading up to the Relay For Life event being held April 22-23.

What Is Relay for Life?
Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society's (www.cancer.org) signature activity. It offers everyone in the community a chance to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people camp out at the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhound Arena and take turns walking or running around the court. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Relay For Life is an overnight event, up to 24 hours in length.

Join the Fight Against Cancer
Because Relay For Life is a community gathering rather than an athletic event, anyone and everyone can participate. Currently, there are a number of teams participating from Eastern New Mexico University, including the College of Business lead by Rebecca Cree, Communications Department lead by Patti Dobson, and the Music Department lead by Jean Wozencraft-Ornellas.

If you are interested in joining a team or starting your own Relay For Life team, contact team recruitment chair Janeice Scarbrough at 359.1013 or e-mail Janeice.Scarbrough@enmu.edu. For more information about Relay For Life events, contact Mandi Park at (home) 356.8180, (work) 562.2166 or e-mail Mandi.Park@enmu.edu. – Sun Vega

Founded in the Spring of 1924 at the University of Illinois, Alpha Lambda Delta is a national honor society that recognizes and encourages academic excellence among first-year students. Today, Alpha Lambda Delta has over 245 chapters throughout the nation and offers over $120,000 each year in scholarships and fellowships to its members. Membership in Alpha Lambda Delta is open to full-time freshmen who earn a scholastic average of 3.5 or better at a four-year college or university and are in the top 20 percent of their class. Alpha Lambda Delta emphasizes that educated persons have a responsibility to "have tolerance in dealings with all persons, generosity in giving to those in need, and insight into the feelings of others." Members are challenged to make a "meaningful contribution to society" and, through their chapters, engage in community service projects as well as campus service activities. The new initiates to Alpha Lambda Delta at Eastern New Mexico University have taken an oath to continue to "maintain high scholarship and to use my education for the benefit of my community, my nation, and the world in which we live."

ENMU-Roswell News

The J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (based in Chicago) has posted a technical article written by Dr. Don Burleson, ENMU-Roswell Developmental Studies Lab Faculty Director, on its website at www.cufos.org The article is titled “Roswell Trajectory Feasibility." On that website, one can view the article, mathematical details, and illustrations by clicking on "Famous Cases: Roswell" and then on the article itself.

Dr. Burleson's article uses vector analysis to show that after the Roswell UFO apparently exploded over the Debris Field, it could only have fallen within a certain approximately computable range of distances down-country, based on reasonable assumptions (assumptions consistent with witness accounts) about the object's velocity and altitude at the time of the explosion. The article includes analysis of the assumption that the UFO lost self-propulsion at the moment of trauma. Employing the principles of physics, this is the first study of its kind on the Roswell UFO crash.
