Distinguished Lecturer To Present "Laser Medicine"
The Office of Research and Program Development, and the Departments of
Industrial Technology and Physics are proud to sponsor AWU-DOE Distinguished Lecturer, Luiz B. Da Silva, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, Calif. He will present "Laser Medicine" at noon Thursday, April 3, in the Reed T. Keller Auditorium, School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Enter by the south door of the Medical School, and turn left down the hall to the Reed T. Keller Auditorium.
Dr. Da Silva will present information on his current research into the use of lasers for medical therapy. The laboratory has been studying the interaction of short (~200 fs) lasers for ablating soft and hard tissue. These laser systems produce minimal collateral damage and represent a unique tool for precise surgery. Other current work includes the use of lasers for tissue welding, and for tomographic imaging.
A recipient of the IEEE Early Achievement Award, Dr. Da Silva earned his degrees from the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, B.C.
He has performed experimental and theoretical research on the equation of state and opacity of strongly coupled plasmas. This work used laser driven shock waves to produce uniform high density material. As part of this work, new optical diagnostic techniques were developed to measure the electron
temperature of shock compressed material. The opacity of shocked aluminum near the K-shell was measured using time resolved x-ray diagnostics.
He has also served as a visiting scientist at the Laboratory for Laser
Energetics at the University of Rochester, where under the supervision of Dr. Paul Jaanimagi, he conducted experiments on direct drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Time resolved x-ray spectroscopy of thin buried layers was used to measure the mass ablation rate and investigate the effects of beam
uniformity. -- Ray Diez, Assistant Professor of Industrial Technology. *******
Engineering Sets Open House
On Thursday, April 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the School of Engineering and Mines (SEM) invites the area schools, general public, and UND students and faculty to view engineering students' activities.
The Open House is sponsored by the Dean's Office and the Engineers' Council. There will be presentations throughout the day of interest to the general public and perspective students. Many students have worked on cooperative education positions and may be willing to give insight about their co-op experiences. There will also be financial aid and scholarship information available for students already in the program and for prospective students. As an added attraction this year, the Society of Energy Alternatives will have on display a solar-powered car they built for Sunrayce 97. Sunrayce is a
biennial intercollegiate event which brings together university students from across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico in a competition to build and race cars powered only by sunlight. The University of North Dakota is participating in this competition, and this is where people can see cutting edge engineering at its best.
Have you ever wondered how to explode a garbage can? A cryogenics (liquid nitrogen) display show will demonstrate it. In addition, a large number of SEM students will display their design projects and lab experiments in a
competition that takes place throughout the day. The Society of Women
Engineers (SWE) will also have some hands-on experiments for visitors to take part in. These experiments show how fun science, math, and engineering can be. Children of all ages are guaranteed to enjoy the activities SWE has planned for the day.
There are a number of other attractions taking place throughout the
Engineering facilities, including laboratory tours, a chance to meet the SEM
faculty, and the opportunity to talk to people about careers in engineering. -- Don Richard, Dean of Engineering and Mines.

*******
Beware Of Phone Solicitations
Phone solicitations for selling office supplies have been made by vendors not normally conducting business with the University. Tactics, such as getting your address to mail you supplies, offering something free with or without an order, offering a great deal, and the need to get an order in before the sale goes off, are some of the sales pitches used. An actual solicitation is
summarized as follows:
"Their usual practice is to thank you for inquiring in some manner about their product. Then they talk so fast that it is hard to follow what they are
saying. The result is to fluster you because you may not remember doing any inquiring, are to embarrassed to admit it, and you will say yes to everything they ask."
Solicitations generated by these tactics are not the University's accepted methods of business transactions. When such phone solicitations occur, please do not give them any information to lead the caller in to sending you
anything. You may ask them to send information in writing or just offer to transfer the call to the Purchasing office at 777-2681.
For further information on phone solicitations, please refer to the Oct. 11, 1996, "University letter," page 11. If there are questions or concerns
regarding this manner, please call Purchasing at 777-2681. -- Linda Romuld, Director of Purchasing.

NDUS Legal News: The ADA on College Campuses
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability in employment or access to facilities, programs, services or activities at colleges and universities.
Protected individuals include those with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. In employment, admissions, and in all programs and services, institutions must make reasonable accommodations enabling protected persons to participate fully in the program or activity. A reasonable accommodation means a change or adjustment that permits a
qualified individual to perform the essential job functions, or to participate in and fully enjoy the benefits of the program or activity. An accommodation is not required if it is unduly costly or disruptive, or if it would
fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the business or program. Colleges and universities may not make pre-admission inquiries concerning disabilities. Eligibility criteria, including standardized tests, that tend to screen out qualified applicants with disabilities are suspect. If a testing company "flags" tests given under nonstandard conditions, college officials may not ask an applicant why that was done, or what testing accommodations were made. Applicants with a disability may always voluntarily disclose the condition and request an accommodation or special consideration.
Institutions are required to make an individualized inquiry into every request for an accommodation. Although documentation of the disabling condition can (and should) be required whenever a request is made, requests should not be denied merely because documentation is not readily available to the person to whom the request is made, and such requests should never be disregarded. Documentation may already be on file in another department. To ensure that disabled student needs are not ignored, it is important that all employees have a basic understanding of Section 504 and the ADA and be familiar with procedures for responding to accommodations requests.
There are three basic categories of accommodations to assist students with disabilities: academic adjustments, modification or alteration in course examinations, and the provision of auxiliary aids. Examples of accommodations include moving a class to an accessible room, providing notetakers or
interpreters, providing written copies or tapes of lectures, providing individual orientation to science labs and extra practice with equipment or extra lab time, providing extra exam time or a secluded, quiet room for an exam, using alternative test designs, or allowing the use of aids such as notebook computers, calculators, dictionaries, etc., during exams. Faculty must be sensitive to disabled student needs and understand that academic freedom does not justify denial of a reasonable accommodation.
Discrimination is prohibited, and reasonable accommodations must be provided, in all programs and activities, including activities off campus. For example, reasonable accommodations must be made to enable qualified students to
participate in clinical programs or internships.
state vocational rehabilitation department may be responsible for those costs in some cases (although institutions may not require students to apply for voc rehab as a condition of granting a request). Personal services not available to other students are not a reasonable accommodation and they are not the institution's responsibility. For example, a personal attendant to assist a disabled student with daily living tasks, or hearing aids, eyeglasses and other personal items, are not the institution's responsibility. If
transportation is not provided to students generally, the institution is not required to provide that service to disabled students (but if transportation is provided to the general student population, it must be accessible to disabled students).
Institutions are not required to grant a "second chance" if a request is made after an unsatisfactory grade, failed test or poor performance, at least when the student was earlier aware of the disability. However, entitlement to readmission or reconsideration is unclear when the student is diagnosed after the fact and had no knowledge of the condition earlier. College officials should exercise discretion in these cases, and at least consider whether the student's performance may have been different had the condition been known, and accommodations provided earlier.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Women's Center Lists Events
The Wednesday, April 2, Feast and Focus program at noon in the Women's Center, 305 Hamline St., is "Gender and Communication in the Media Context." Forms of media are strong learning sources for shaping our perceptions of women and men. In the media, women are generally under-represented, and both women and men are portrayed in narrow sex roles. Bias toward or against either sex is injurious to both men and women. Stereotyping, or oversimplifying the roles women and men play, has a variety of negative outcomes. In this program, we will examine various forms of media and discuss its impact on our lives. The Thursday, April 3, For Women Only program will feature Sue Goebel from Valley Health, who will lead us in a discussion of women's sexuality issues. Sarah Weddington, the attorney who gained national attention in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade case will speak on campus Thursday, April 3, at 8 p.m. For location and more information, contact the university Program Council at 777-4202. -- Donna Oltmanns, Coordinator, Women's Center.

Burtness Theatre Presents "She Stoops To Conquer"
The Department of Theatre Arts is proud to present the Restoration comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer." Set in 18th century England, the production shows the humorous relationship between an upper class lady who must present herself as a commoner to win the heart of a gentleman who becomes incredibly shy around women of the same social standing.
Although the play makes light of social situations found in the 1700s,
contemporary audiences will find the comedy just as funny today because many of the same situations exist in the 1990s.
The production is directed by Dean Bruce Jacobsen and runs Tuesday through Saturday, April 15-19, at the Burtness Theatre. Curtain time is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the Burtness Box Office beginning April 1; call 777-2587. -- Joel Svendsen, Burtness Theatre Publicity Manager. *******
