The late Prof. Salzman's primary appointment was in geology 
and geophysics; he had been a pioneer in the theory of 
weather and climate.
 
Welcome to the world:
Senen Antunez, Financial Assistant for AP and EE, and 
Patricia Antunez welcomed a baby boy into the world on

Tau Beta Pi workshop on problem solving:
Tau Beta Pi is offering a workshop on problem solving to 
individuals in all disciplines Sun., Feb. 11, 1:00 pm, at WLH 117. 
The facilitator, who teaches problem solving to hundreds of 
students throughout the Northeast every year, will present 
a model for problem solving (how to identify issues and causes 
of the problem, develop solutions, implement the plan, and 
evaluate the success of the approach) and will show attendees 
how to generate ideas and help them to practice the process. 
Refreshments will be served. Let Tau Beta Pi know at
<hristo.gyoshev@yale.edu> if you will attend.
 
Hot off the press:
Pick up a copy of the new Yale Scientific Magazine in the 
Becton mailroom, the Engineering Library, the Mason Lobby 
and mailroom, and from the information rack in the Business 
Office in Dunham. YSM is also available at the residential colleges.
YSM will also be distributed at the Undergraduate Admissions
office and mailed to alumni who are members of the Yale Science
and Engineering Association. Publisher Ivan Galea, a graduate
student in AP, is very happy with the number of Freshmen
who have joined the editorial staff and is very eager to get 
some Engineering majors on board (at this time, Biology and
Physics are the mainstays). If you are interested in acquiring
experience writing for or editing or doing layout for or marketing
a science magazine, come to a YSM weekly meeting Thursday
at 8:30 in WLH 205 or contact Ivan Galea at <ysm@jove.eng.yale.edu>
The YSM faculty advisor is Prof. Werner Wolf, AP.
 
Engineering Library instruction session:
