ADVISORY COUNCIL NEWS A ffiliated with our department is an active group of about 30 scientists and business persons who help us forge a link with the chemi- cally related community in the area. It is a mutual support group. Members of the Advisory Council help us place our grad- uates, are available for technical advice, and help provide resources for the maintenance of our educational programs. We in turn refer potential employees to them and offer our help in other ways; for ex- ample, use of our technical library, and occasional instru- mental and consulting services. New representatives joining the council in the past year are: Greg Beauton. Senior Chemical Specialist; McGaw Labo- ratories in Irvine. Ken Faust, Laboratory Di- rector; Pace. Inc., Fountain Valley. Dr. Charles Gorenstein. Health Research Scientist; Veter- ans Administration Medical Cen- ter. Long Beach. Dr. Gorenstein replaces Dr. Harry Walter, the VA representative for the past 14 years, who recently retired. Darrel Holmes, District Manager; American Qualex. La Mirada. Mr. Holmes replaces Dan Moothart. President. Colleen McDorman. Certi- fied Account Manager; Lab Sup- port. Costa Mesa. Dr. Gerard Putz. Manager, Quality Assurance; Bachem CA, Torrance. Kenneth Stoub.

Thang Dink Hemdersw Molar and Dana Haley, Henderson Scholar Jeffrey Kaplan, Scoggins Scholar Thd Ho, Stern Scholar Stem khdar ENDOWED AWARDS ROBERT B. HENDERSON MEMORIAL AWARD 'Itvo outstanding students, both undergraduate students, were named Henderson Schol- ars this year. each receiving a cash award. This award was established by Dr. Henderson's family, colleagues, and friends to honor the memory of Dr. Rob- ert B. Henderson, a member of the Chemistry Department from 1955-83 and a distinguished scientist and teacher of organic and general chemistry. Recipi- ents are chosen from among bachelor's and master's gradu- ates as those best exemplifying Dr. Henderson's scholarship and commitment to the profession of chemistry. Thang Dinh. Thang, a cum laude BS Chemistry graduate, has received nearly every award given by the department during his distinguished undergraduate career. Thang also received the Rhodes Award at commencement for his outstanding scholastic achieve- ments. He was a research student of Dr. Nail Senozan, studying aspects of methemoglobin formation as influenced by cu- pric and ceric ions. After working for a year with Pharmaxx Corp., Thang will enter an MDI PhD program. Dana Haley. Dana, also a much-honored undergraduate, served as chair of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathe- matics Student Council and ac- tively participated in other college and university-wide activi- ties. At commencement she received the Dr. Khalil Salem Award for outstanding service and scholarship. She has been involved in an undergraduate research project under the di- rection of Dr. Jeffrey Cohlberg on neurofilament structure. Dana, a cum laude BS Biochem- istry graduate, will enter the PhD program in Biochemistry at UCLA this fall. DAVID L. SCOGGINS MEMORIAL AWARD The Scoggins Memorial Award recognizes outstanding scholarship and promise by a Chemistry or Biochemistry graduate who intends to make a career of one of the health pro- fessions. This award is in memory of David L. Scoggins, who was a graduate student in the Chemistry Department at the time of his premature death. This year's awardee is Jeffrey Kaplan. Jeff received an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at CSULB and, after several years working as an engineer, re- turned to CSULB to earn a BA (summa cum laude) in Chemis- try. He will enter medical school at the University of Oklahoma this fall. Jeff was featured in an article published in the April issue of Reaction Times, a na- tionally distributed student publication of the American Chemical Society. Jeff was for- merly employed by Lab Support, a temporary placement service. The article dealt with the in- creasing importance of the "con- tingent work force" as a source of placement for scientifically trained personnel. THE JOHN H. STERN MEMORIAL AWARD The John Stern Memorial Award was presented to two outstanding physical chemistry students who distinguished themselves in Chemistry 371A and Chemistry 371 B, the year course in physical chemistry for BS Chemistry majors. This award, consisting of a cash prize, is given in memory of Dr. John H. Stern, internationally known for his work in solution thermodynamics and author of many publications in that area. The award was established by colleagues, former students and friends of Dr. Stern, who was a member of this department from 1958-84 and taught physical and general chemistry. Thang Dinh. Thang was also a Henderson awardee (cf. Henderson Memorial Award above). Thach Ho. Thach was a chemistry teacher in Viet Nam before coming to the United States. He chose to study for an American degree in Chemis- try, and received a BS in Chem- istry (summa cum laude ) at the June 2 commencement. He will continue with graduate work, studying for the MS in Chemistry with Dr. Henry Po at CSULB. Thach's wife. Ngoc-Anh Vuong, also graduated with a BA in Chemistry with the same graduating class.
