1961

We're back in Mass Row for our 30th Reunion June 11- 14. That was an enjoyable site for our 15th Reunion; we're glad to be back. The reunion officially kicks off at 5:30 p.m. on june 11. Be there.

Dave Prewitt and Ron Wybranowski, working with the classes of'59 and '6O, have come up with a great program. There seems to be an impromptu program developing as well. Last month, we mentioned the special concert being planned by ex-Glee Club members —with a call for '16 clubbers to join in. Now it appears the Barbary Coast may be ready to pop up. A couple of '50s who will be reuning the same time —are planning to play a mini-concert, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it doesn't mushroom into a full-scale concert.

Tom Judd and an engineer colleague at Bellcore have patented a videowindow that makes participants in a long-distance teleconference feel as if they are in the same room. The test was set up in lounges in research plants 55 miles apart, according to The New York Times, ana silverware could be heard clinking, casual conversation seemed to come from the direction of the speaker, and a double-sized image created by two cameras made people at a back table as clear as if they were in the same room.

Bill Hutton has joined the Trust for Public Land as general counsel, and will have responsibility for managing all of the trust's legal affairs from the national headquarters in San Francisco. He will resign as a member of the San Francisco law firm of Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Robertson and Falk, but continue as professor of law at Hastings College of Law of the University of California. The trust is anational nonprofit land-conservation organization.

This must be lawyers month. Bill Kandel has joined the Chicago law firm of Mc- Dermott, Will & Emery as a partner. JimSilen is on his way to becoming one, having enrolled as a full-time student in the Hamline University Law School.

And lawyer Dick Beattie is in the news again—as the latest trustee of WNET, New York's major public television station. He made the social pages of newspapers across America as one of the few figures involved in the leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco who had the guts to appear at a "coming out" party for the boot, Barbarians at the Gate.

Mike Gazzaniga continues to plow new ground, directing a Center for Development of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. The center will be supported with a $720,000 grant from the James S. McDonnel Foundation of St. Louis and the Pew Charitable Trust of Philadelphia. The program is the first to grant the Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience.
