News Notes
Bill Brown, Chair, Department of Chemistry
Brock Spencer has written this piece for the past 14 years. Yes,
he has been Chair of Chemistry for that long. The rest of us were
more than happy to have him serve in this capacity because he
was so very good at it. Organized, efficient, and a good leader
with a sense of purpose and vision for the Department. And now
he deserving of return to full time teaching and the pursuit of
his research.
It is with pleasure that I now exercise one of the privileges
of being Chair of Chemistry, namely telling you of the happenings
in our department during the past year. It has been a very good
year for the department in a number of ways. On May 16th, a beautiful
day by anyone's standards, we graduated 12 chemistry and biochemistry
majors. As Brock Spencer pointed out in our 1992 Newsletter, we
have seen a trend over the past 25 years of more women majors.
This year is no exception: two-thirds of our graduating majors
are women.
And we were excited for Pa Houa Ly who was chosen for the Martha
Peterson Prize, named in honor of the seventh President of Beloit
College, and awarded to "The Graduating Senior who best exemplifies
the liberal arts tradition at Beloit College". I might add
here that Pa Houa is the only student to receive our Edward C.
Fuller Award in Chemical Education two years in a row. You will
find more information on these and other awards received by our
'93 graduates later in this newsletter.
We are impressed with the high quality of our graduates and the
degree to which they have taken responsibility for their own eduction,
the degree to which they have participated in either their own
or faculty-designed research projects, and for their overall academic
records at Beloit. Witness the facts that seven majors graduated
with departmental honors; and that three graduated cum laude,
one magna cum laude, and two summa cum laude. An impressive record.
I am pleased to bring you the news of Laura Parmentier's appointment
as Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Martha Peterson Junior
Professor in the Sciences at Beloit College. Laura joined our
staff in August 1991 on a temporary appointment as Visiting Assistant
Professor, and we had expected her appointment to end this Spring.
However, this past fall, the College arrived at an opportunity
to develop two new positions in the sciences. As some of you may
remember, in 1989 the College created an endowed Professorship
in honor of former President, Martha Peterson. The intention was
to create a succession of one-year visiting positions for senior
women faculty in the sciences that would assist the College in
meeting its obligations to increase the number of women embarking
on careers in the sciences, mathematics, and health-related fields.
It has now become clear that the College's interests will be better
served by a greater continuity of this position (teaching, advising,
research, etc.) with the result that the College has created two
Martha Peterson Assistant Professors in the Sciences. Recipients
of these tenure-track positions are Laura Parmentier in Chemistry
and Carol Mankiewicz in Geology/Biology. We are pleased to have
Laura continue with us in this new capacity.
For others of the faculty, this year had the quality of now-you-see-them,
now-you-don't. It all began in Fall-92 when George led the Beloit
seminar to Glasgow University, Scotland. One of the strong features
of this biyearly seminar (at least we hope it will go every other
year) is "Chemistry and the Environment", a course designed
by Bill when he led the Glasgow seminar in 1990 and now refined
by George this time around. The course, offered through the Department
of Chemistry at Glasgow, features a series of lectures, field
trips, and follow-up seminars relating to current environmental
issues in Scotland and the UK. George writes more about his experiences
elsewhere in the Newsletter.
We had George back for the Spring term, but then it was Brock's
turn for a one-term sabbatical leave. He departed January '93
to work 15 January - 1 April with Professor Jack Lewis at Cambridge
University, England on organometallic cluster systems. Following
that work, Brock moved to the University of Lund, Sweden, on 1
April to work with Professor Ebbe Nordlander (Beloit '86) on some
synthetic/structural/ computational work on model systems for
the active sites of several metalloenzymes. More from Brock elsewhere
in the Newsletter.
And Rama is almost back with us. With the conclusion of Commencement
this year, Rama completed his final year of an administrative
appointment. On paper, the arrangement was half-time Director
of Academic Computing (why is it that half-time administrative
appointments take far more time than that?) and half-time teaching.
With the coming of the new academic year, Rama will return to
the conditions of his original appointment at Beloit, namely one-half
time Chemistry and one-half time Computer Education.
The "new" Chem 117, is now two years old and thriving.
For those of you who graduated more than two years ago, this new
and innovative course is a laboratory-based investigative/discovery
approach to chemistry. It has neither lectures nor examinations,
but rather emphasizes laboratory investigations, discussions,
laboratory notebooks for daily work, and formal reports for week-long
projects. It attempts to model what chemists actually do as they
approach new problems and has a clear focus on everyday materials,
their properties, and how atomic/molecular models can be used
to explain and predict structure and behavior of those materials.
A major focus of our weekly staff meetings this past year has
been a review of our curriculum, a review driven in large part
by the changes we have been making in General Chemistry (Chem
117). We will continue that review over the coming year. I hope
to have a detailed report of these deliberations for you in the
1994 Newsletter.
Kathy Greene, Director of Science Education at Beloit College,
continues to direct our "Girls and Women in Science"
program. This is an innovative project designed to encourage sixth-grade
girls in their study of science and mathematics. On April 2 and
3, 1993, sixty girls (and their teachers and parents) from all
over Wisconsin attended the third annual 2-day Girls and Women
in Science Conference at the College. The program is planned and
"delivered" by the Women of Chamberlin, a group of about
40 female (and 3 male) science majors, under Kathy's direction.
The 1993 Project was funded by Beloit College and a Dwight D.
Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Program Grant. This spring,
Beloit College won the Corporate Award in the 1993 YWCA's Tribute
to Women for its sponsorship of the Girls and Women in Science
Project.
A couple of other developments. The Chemistry Computer Laboratory
is now in full operation with five networked Mac II and SE30s,
supported by two printers. The new Hewlett Packard GC/MS system
is also fully operative. Much of this was accomplished through
Brock's decision to offer an advanced topic course on use of the
instrument, and thereby learn its fine points himself and also
train a cadre of students in its use. We have now completed a
HyperCard bar-coded inventory system of our 1800 or so chemicals
and have the capability to print our inventory by location, chemical
name, and Beloit ID number.
Those are some of the things that we are doing here. Now, what
you are doing? We always enjoy hearing from you by your visits
to campus, your letters and postcards, and chances to talk at
alumni reunions and professional meetings. And we appreciate your
efforts on behalf of our students in helping them to find summer
placements, graduate opportunities and work opportunities. And
we appreciate your financial support for the College and for the
Chemistry Department. Do continue to keep in touch.

Recently Dr. Mike Wirt, '85, came to my attention because he
has applied to become an astronaut! Then at an alumni meeting,
Dr. Phil Christian, '81, mentioned to me that he had served on
the National Commission on AIDS. Reflecting back on our many other
distinguished biochemistry alumni prompted me to review what has
become of our alumni. There are many concerns nationally about
the state of scientific education. Among the concerns are the
lack of students electing careers in science, the limited numbers
of students going on for Ph. D.s, and the lack of women electing
careers in science. How does Beloit College do in these areas?
Ranil Harinda Abeysinghe, '94, is the one-hundredth person scheduled
to receive a degree in Biochemistry from Beloit College. Looking
over the biochemistry majors since the program was instituted
in 1979 gives an indication of the quality of the program here
and the quality of the students who have majored in biochemistry.
Looking at those who graduated from 1979-92 provides the following
fates for our first 98 alums:
# % of known alum
Enrolled or completed Ph. D.-----------------------------------
31 33.7
Enrolled or completed M. D., dental, veterinary degree-- 39 42.4
MBA, Law degree, M. S., MAT----------------------------------
9 9.8
Employment in science/teaching related areas------------- 12 13.0
Other employment-------------------------------------------------
1 1.1
Unknown------------------------------------------------------------- 6 ----
Liberally interpreting these statistics, almost 90% of our graduates
went on for advanced degrees, and almost all went on to careers
related to science. WOW! I also observe that 47 of the 98, or
48%, were women. WOW! In addition, Biochemistry ranks 13th in
number of majors among all the majors available at the College
this year, an indication of how many of our students select a
science education. In addition to being among the Science 50,
(the 50 liberal arts colleges producing the most scientists),
our Chemistry Department, including the Biochemistry Program,
has been ranked the 16th most productive department in the nation
- a ranking based on the number of chemistry and biochemistry
majors per 1000 students enrolled at all campuses nationwide.
Finally, I would like to comment about where we go from here.
"If you get to heaven, before I do, just drill a little hole,
and pull me through!" I hope that our many successful alumni
can make the road a little easier for current and future students.
There are several ways that you can do this, and there is a special
section of alumni requests this year which I hope that you will
pay particular attention. While our students usually find research
internships after their junior year, many would like to get involved
after their first or second year. Are you at some location where
they might be able to provide such an internship? Our students
could use help selecting the best graduate topics and professors
and medical schools to attend. Do you have advice? With electronic
mail and computer databases, it is now possible to do much more
with networking, and over the coming year we are making a major
effort to get maximum use of these resources. All biochemistry
majors will be on email, and I would like to find mentors for
them among alumni. There is lots of opportunity and challenge
for all of us to help our students get the best possible education
and future. Your success as an alum of Beloit's Biochemistry Program
is appreciated, but we hope you will find time to "drill
a little hole" so that our present students can follow in
your footsteps.

William H. Brown B.A. St. Lawrence University
Professor and Chair M.A. Harvard University
Ph. D. Columbia University
At Beloit since 1964
Bill assumed the duties of Chair of Chemistry in September, 1992,
following Brock's fourteen years of tenure in that office. As
he soon discovered, it involves a lot more work than he thought.
Bill continues work on an organic text, the final manuscript for
which is due in September, 1993. He has been working on a number
of departmental projects. These include: 1) the complete cataloguing
and bar-coding of all the chemicals in the Department, with the
able assistance of Ralph Moore, our Department stockroom director,
2) identification and assignment of the numerous additional responsibilities
of the Department faculty, a four-page list of duties including
various admissions, accounting, instrumental maintenance, advising,
and other tasks, and 3) a complete evaluation of our curriculum,
determining where the various skills essential to our majors are
taught, how those skills are developed through the progression
of courses, and which areas need increased or reduced coverage.
Kathleen Greene B. Sc. University of Lethbridge (Alberta)
Director of Science Education M.S. University of Wisconsin-Madison
At Beloit since 1987
Kathleen Greene is on campus for most of Summer '93. She is Coordinator
of the Howard Hughes Young Scholar Summer Research Program, in
which six pre-first year and three pre-second year Beloit students
work closely with Beloit faculty on their research projects. Kathy
is also co-directing, with John Jungnk, another Howard Hughes-sponsored
program, the four-week Teacher Workshop. This summer, teachers
from middle schools, high school, and universities are participating
in this graduate-level (credit-bearing) workshop, "A Problem-posing,
Problem-solving, and Persuasion Approach to Developing World Health
Perspectives in Biology." Never far from her mind, though,
is the fourth year of the "Girls and Women in Science Project,"
and the Women of Chamberlin, the group of women science students
who make the project happen.
George Lisensky B.A. Earlham College
Professor Ph.D. California Institute of Technology
At Beloit since 1980
George was at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in the fall
as director of Beloit's Environmental Science Semester Abroad,
and in Beloit in the spring teaching Chemical Equilibrium (a class
of 40), Glassblowing (16 students survived to the end!), and Instrumental
Analysis. George's entire family made the trip to Scotland along
with 15 Beloit students. Laura and Diana attended the city schools
there. The seminar visits to derelict land, nuclear reactors,
agricultural areas, and waste tips were informative but the family
prefered multicolor money, lots of walking, trying to shop for
food, and the history, topography, and changeable weather of Scotland.
George continues his research collaboration with Professor Ellis
at UW-Madison. They are co-principal investigators of a several
institution National Science Foundation grant for "Development
of a Materials-Oriented General Chemistry Course." Many introductory
chemistry courses focus on small molecules, gases, and liquids,
but solids are an important part of our materials-intensive world.
The idea of this project is that virtually every topic discussed
in a general chemistry course can be illustrated with examples
and concepts from materials chemistry. The results will be published
in 1993 by the American Chemical Society in a new book, "A
Materials Companion to General Chemistry." After several
years of work, the Solid-State Model Kit, by L. A. Mayer and G.
C. Lisensky, is now being distributed by the Institute of Chemical
Education in Madison. The kit makes use of a base with holes,
a template to cover a subset of those holes, and various size
spheres that slide down rods inserted in holes in the base. The
goal of the kit is to improve the teaching of three-dimensional
crystal structures.
Presentation of this material has included an afternoon workshop
at the NSF Solid State Chemistry Program for Undergraduates and
College Faculty, Northwestern University, June, 1992, an entire
poster session at the Gordon Research Conference on Solid-State
Chemistry, Plymouth, NH, July, 1992, and "A Study in Scarlet
and the Sign of Four or How Holmes Deduced the Little from the
Big," an invited plenary talk at Research Corporation Detectives
in Science program, January 15-16, 1993, Tucson, AZ. He also presented
a full morning workshop on solid state chemistry for 60 high school
teachers. Megan Reich ('95) did research with George last summer,
as will Peter Allen ('96) this summer.
George also found time last summer to again teach science at College
for Kids for two weeks (both a second grade and a sixth grade
class).
Alfred Bram Ordman B.A. Carleton College
Associate Professor Ph. D. Univ. of Wis.-Madison
Chair, Biochemistry Program At Beloit since 1977
Roc taught Biochemistry and Microbiology this past fall, and Chemistry
117 and Biotechnology and Molecular Biology (Biology 275) in the
spring. Biology 275 is a new permanent offering, utilizing the
equipment from a National Science Foundation Instrumentation grant
of $156,000. The course covers recombinant DNA technology, immunology,
eukaryotic genetics, and cell biology. The laboratory portion
of the course involves students in Roc's personal research, studying
in vivo production of proteins. This year students attempted to
clone and express a c-myc-tagged beta-subunit of Na/K ATPase,
and ran Western blots and ELISA assays to detect protein. His
offering of Chemistry 117 course was also completely revised,
in an effort to have the students experience being chemists, rather
than studying chemistry texts. The students carried out original
research on the excretion of vitamin C, culminating in a poster
session where they presented their results.
Next fall, the laboratory portion of the Biochemistry course will
also include original research for the students, in which they
will be involved in purification and characterization of the c-myc-tagged
beta-subunit of Na/K ATPase. Eventually he hopes to have students
in Bio 275 constructing plasmids to synthesize novel proteins,
with the Biochemistry students characterizing these products.
This summer, he will be working with two undergraduates on in
vivo production of proteins supported by a College grant from
the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Laura E. Parmentier B.S. Northland College
Assistant Professor Ph.D. Univ. of Wis.-Madison
At Beloit since 1991
This past year Laura taught two sections of General Chemistry,
Scientific Literature and Senior Seminar, and designed a new Advanced
Topics course in Pharmacology. The new general chemistry course
continues to receive quite a bit of attention, and Laura and George
were invited to give a talk about it at the Great Lakes Regional
ACS meeting in Marquette, Michigan, in May.
Laura's research on enzyme mechanisms continues to go well. She
and Jennifer Smith ('93) have purified large quantities of the
urea cycle enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase from E. coli. With
lots of enzyme on hand, they have begun to study the kinetic and
chemical mechanisms catalyzed by the enzyme using 13C isotope
effects. Jennifer presented this work at the Pew Biological Sciences
Undergraduate Research Symposium in Chicago in October. Working
with Pa Houa Ly ('93), Laura has also begun to study the enzyme
ornithine cyclase, and is currently working on isolating and purifying
the enzyme from Clostridia sporogenes.
This is the end of the second year of Laura's two-year leave replacement
position. She will be staying on at Beloit in a tenure-track,
endowed Professorship as one of the two Martha Peterson Assistant
Professors in the Sciences.
Brock Spencer B.A. Carleton College
Professor Ph. D. Univ. of California-Berkeley
At Beloit since 1965
After teaching at Beloit in the fall, Brock was on sabbatical
leave for the spring semester. He spent the first three months
at Cambridge University with Prof. Jack Lewis doing molecular
orbital calculations on models for metal-acetylene conducting
polymers and on osmium clusters. In April he moved on to the University
of Lund in Sweden for three months with Dr. Ebbe Nordlander (Beloit
'86). In addition to research there on model compounds for metalloenzymes,
he gave some lectures in a graduate course on bioinorganic chemistry.
Rama Viswanathan B.S. Bombay University
Associate Professor M.S. Indian Inst. of Technology
Director of Academic Computing Ph.D. University of Oregon
At Beloit since 1983
This was a year of change for me. I started the transition from
my current appointment as Director of Academic Computing (back)
to full time faculty by teaching Physical Chemistry again in Spring
(for the first time since 1989). It was a good year for Academic
Computing. We finally moved into new digs in the Kohler Center
(what used to be the Science Library), positively palatial (2500
square feet of space!) compared to our old location in the basement
of Morse-Ingersoll. In addition, we managed to completely network
and connect our facility to the campus ethernet backbone, and
installed three IBM RS6000 UNIX workstations to replace our ageing
MicroVAX -II. The new facility is state-of-the-art, with Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) ethernet connections for hooking up microcomputers
and terminals using phone-style jacks set up at intervals of a
few feet along all the walls. It also includes a Mutimedia Computer
Laboratory with six Mac IIcis/Centris 610s (each with CD ROM player),
a color LCD computer screen display for overhead projection, and
a VCR-TV combo for viewing self-training videotapes. On the professional
front, I finally got three papers on methyl radical-surface interactions
(based on my sabbatical work at Northwestern Univ.) published.
Finally, the most exciting news is that my wife Kanchana is finishing
her Fellowship in Endocrinology at the University of Illinois
and has a position at Beloit Clinic. We will finally end our commuting
existence and move back to Beloit in July!
