Robert
C. Dynes, a first-generation college graduate who went
on to become a distinguished physicist and chancellor
of UC San Diego, was named the 18th president of the University
of California system yesterday by the UC Board of Regents.
Dynes, who moved to UC San Diego as professor of physics
in 1991 after a two-decade career in the private sector
and was named chancellor in 1996, will become president
of the 10-campus, 3-laboratory UC system on Oct. 2. He
succeeds Richard C. Atkinson, who is retiring from the
UC presidency after eight years that began Oct. 1, 1995.
Dynes was selected from a national pool of more than 300
candidates. (Read more on Dynes in tomorrow's issue of
Currents). A letter to UC employees from Regents'
chair John Moores can be read here. |

Green Building Policy

Energy-conserving
and environmentally friendly construction could be a
greener solution to UC's budget woes, according to a
policy being discussed by the UC Board of Regents at
its meeting today. The "green building" policy
would require all new buildings on campuses systemwide
to meet requirements ranging from using recycled materials
for construction to using renewable energy sources.
Although constructing green buildings could cost more,
energy savings in the long term could more than compensate
for the additional costs in the short term, said William
Fisk, a Berkeley Lab scientist in environmental
energy technologies. Full

The
1920s marked the transition of the U.S. to a modern technology-based
society, and was also a period of momentous individual achievement.
In the world of science, a 27-year-old physics professor in
Berkeley, California, began the work that would launch a modern
era of multidisciplinary national laboratories. Read the story
in the American Physical Society’s "This Month in
Physics History" here. |
