LYCOMING  COLLEGE 

REPORT 


June  1982 


College  hosts 
science  conference 


The  United  Slates  laces  ultimate  ruination  ot  its 
i. ■(.■■  mom ii  system  if  it  continues  to  supply  the  hulk  ot  it4. 
energy  needs  with  oil  and  nuclear  power.  Instead,  this 
country  must  develop  solar  energy  as  a  clean,  safe,  and 
affordable  alternative  power  source. 

So  said  Dr,  Barry  Commoner,  a  prominent  environ- 
mental scientist  and  former  Citizens  Party  presidential 
candidate  who  spoke  al  Lycoming  on  May  15.  His  keynote 

■  included  the  3bth  annual  Eastern  Colleges 

v I   "nfi-rence.  a  three-day  forum  hosted  this  year  by 

Lycoming's  si  ieni.edepearlments  and  students.  At  the 
conference,  more  than  250  faculty  members  and  under- 
graduates from  30  colleges  and  universities  across  the  East 
C  oasl  presented  research  findings  in  the  sciences 

Because  of  "exponentially"  rising  prices,  our 
dependency  on  oil  lor  heating,  transportation,  and 
industry  Is   'cannibalizing"  the  economy   said 
C  ■  'ii  im.  mi  r,  who  ran  for  president  in  the  1080  national 
elei  Hon 

The  amount  of  invested  capital  needed  to  produce 
energy  is  so  enormous  that  the  economy  will  be  strained  to 
a  point  where  the  system  will  become  "insupportable," 
Commoner  told  an  audience  of  about  250  persons  in  an 
85-minute  speech. 

"In  nature,  no  exponential  process  can  continue 
indefinitely,"  he  warned 

The  64-year-old  Queens  College  professor  of  earth  and 
environmental  science  insisted  that  nuclear  power  can 

ft  asible  electrii  ity-produclng  means  because  of 
the  exceedingly  high  costs  involved  to  produce  it  safely. 

■  .ud  the  economic-erosion  process  caused  by 
the  cycle  of  exponentially  rising  costs  Is  repeated. 

■\i  i  Ording  to  Commoner,  resource  nonrenewability  is 
the  cause  of  exponential  price  increases.  Oil,  he  said  for 
r-.iriipli    iMi]  in  K'  thcap  because  it  was  easily  accessible 

i  ommoner  cited  the  Diablo  Canyon  power  plant  in 
(.  alifomia   Despite  a  $2  billion  investment,  he  said  it  has 
produced   zero   electricity    fheholdup  hesaid,  isthe

safety  risk:  the  plant  has  not  demonstrated  earthquake 
resistance 

Noting  that  20  nuclear  power  projects  have  been 
cancelled  in  the  U.S.  in  recent  years  because  of  staggering 
costs  C  "mmonersaid,  he  believes  the  drive  to  build  more 
nuclear  power  plants  will  eventually  lose  its  force 

"What  is  the  cost  ol  psychological  stress7    Commoner 
asked,  referring  to  a  recent  decision  by  the  U.S.  Circuit 
Court  o|  Appeals  that  the  Nuclear  Regulatory 
Commission  will  have  to  consider  the  psychological  effects 
on  nearby  residents  before  allowing  the  crippled  Three 
Mile  Island  plant  near  Harrisburg  to  reopen, 

Claiming  that  coal-buming  plants  can  produce 
electricity  five  and  a  half  times  more  cheaply  than  nuclear 
plants,  and  without  the  threat  of  a  catastrophe. 
Commoner  said,  he  supports  the  use  of  the  coal-burning 
plant  — until  solar  energy  is  better  developed. 

The  sun's  permanency,  he  explained,  eliminates  any 
potential  scarcity  and  accordingly,  the  threat  of 
exponential  price  increases  And  the  costs  to  acquire  the 


suns  energy,  Commoner  believes,  will  drop  with 
advancements  in  sola r-ha messing  technology. 

It  is  possible,  too.  that  solar  power  can  replace  our 
dependency  on  oil  for  transportation.  By  converting  grain 
(grown  by  sunlight)  into  ethyl  alcohol.  Commoner  said, 
we  will  be  able  to  make  "solar"  cars. 

By  substituting  the  right  crops  to  avoid  food-supply 
depletions,  enough  grain  can  be  grown  in  the  Midwest  to 
make  a  quantity  of  alcohol  fuel  to  replace  our  oil  needs  by 
a  third,  said  Commoner,  who  spent  34  years  in  the  botany

Wertz  award  given 

An  administrative  secretary  for  the  Central 
Pennsylvania  Conference,  United  Methodist  Church,  was 
honored  June  9  by  Lycoming  at  the  Annual  Conference  of 
the  Methodist  organization  at  Bloomsburg  State  College. 

Miss  Patsy  Ann  Hartranft,  of  Harrisburg,  received  the 
third  "Bishop  D.  Frederick  Wertz  Award"  for  outstanding 
service  to  the  church.  Named  in  honor  of  the  former 
Lycoming  president  who  is  now  resident  Bishop  of  the 
Washington  Area  of  the  United  Methodist  Church,  the 
award  is  presented  to  clergymen  or  lay  persons  who  have 
given  exceptional  service  to  God  through  the  church. 

Miss  Hartranft,  who  received  the  award  from  Lycoming 
President  Dr  Frederick  E  Blumer,  has  been  administrative 
secretary  of  the  Council  of  Ministries  Office  for  12  years. 
Before  assuming  her  current  position,  she  was  a  secretary 
for  the  former  Eastern  Conference  of  the  Evangelical 
United  Brethren  Church. 

Active  in  the  church  all  her  life,  she  was  a  conference 
youth  leader  and  a  secretary  at  a  Mt  Gretna  church 
summer  camp.  She  continues  to  serve  Calvary  Church, 
Hamsburg,  as  recording  secretary  of  the  administrative 
board  and  as  a  member  of  the  Pastor  Parish  Relations 
Committee. 

A  1962  graduate  of  Millersville  State  College,  she 
declined  a  teaching  position  after  graduation  to  go  to  work 
full  time  for  the  church. 

In  presenting  the  award,  Dr.  Blumer  cited  her 
commitment  to  Christ,  the  respect  held  for  her  by  her 
peers,  and  her  patience  in  "ministering'  to  a  flock  of  clergy 
and  lay  persons  who  may  not  always  be  as  cheerful  as  she 
is.  "You  continue  to  show  us  how  to  be  Christian  through 
all  that  you  do  and  say  ,.,"  he  said.

Commoner  noted  that  a  Ford  factory  in  Brazil  now 
makes  ethyl  alcohol-fueled  "solar"  cars,  with  alcohol 
converted  from  sugar  cane. 

Although  Commoner  believes  our  energy  problems  can 
be  solved,  the  attitude  of  the  present  administration  is 
delaying  the  process  Under  Ronald  Reagan,  Commoner 
said   the  federal  budget  for  solar  research  and 
development  has  been  cut  90  percent,  while  funding  for 
nuclear  projects  has  increased  30  percent 

Commoner  s  speech  titled    Science  and  Survival," 
reflected  on  the  precarious  position  in  which  civilization 
h.is  been  placed  because  of  scientific  development  in  the 
Atomic  Age, 

Science  and  technology  has  to  be  used  in  ways  to 
support  us,  not  threaten  us,    said  Commoner,  who  moved

his  internationally  known  Center  for  the  Biology  of 
Natural  Systems  to  New  York  City  in  1981.  The  center  has 
conducted  pioneering  research  on  environmental  and 
energy  problems  since  1966. 

Commoner's  address  followed  a  banquet  Saturday 
evening  in  Wertz  Student  Center  dining  hall  The  banquet 
was  preceded  by  more  than  two  days  of  sessions  at  which 
129  scientific  papers  in  the  areas  of  astronomy,  computer 
science,  engineering,  mathematics,  political  science,  and 
the  social  sciences  were  read  Paper  topics  included 
"burnout"  in  nursing,  war  gaming,  attitudes  toward 
women,  helicopter  lift  and  drag  comparisons,  economic 
expansionism,  and  more  traditional  topics  like  acid 
precipitation,  wildlife  reproduction,  and  aspirin's  effects 
on  rat  fetuses.  All  of  the  sessions  were  held  in  the 
Academic  Center 

Visitors  also  had  opportunities  to  view  planetarium 
shows,  electronic  music  demonstrations,  a  chemical  magic 
show,  and  a  movie  about  the  medical  horrors  of  nuclear 
war.  And  when  nighttime  settled  in,  students  and 
professors  from  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island.  New  York, 
New  Jersey,  and  Pennsylvania  gathered  for  dances  and 
■  >ther  social  activities  on  and  off  campus. 

"We  got  very  strong  compliments  and  comments  on 
how  well  organized  the  conference  was,    said  Dr,  JackS. 
Diehl,  associate  professor  of  biology.  Diehl,  Dr  Edward 
G.  Gabriel,  assistant  professor  of  biology,  and  Steve 
Tamowski  '82,  of  Philadelphia,  served  as  conference 
coordinators.  The  guests  also  emphasized  how  lovely  a 
place  Lycoming  College  is."  Diehl  added 

Planning  for  the  conference  began  last  September  when 
the  coordinators  initiated  a  search  for  a  keynote  speaker 
The  final  few  months  were  hectic,  anxious  times  for  the 
coordinators,  who  faced  the  problem  of  attracting  visiting 
schools  because  of  conflicts  with  final  examinations  and 
commencements.  Their  worries  were  premature,  however, 
as  attendance  was  solid  and.  according  to  Diehl,  the 
quality  ol  the  papers    excellent 

Therein  is  the  basic  purpose  of  the  ECSC:  to  provide  a 


forum  for  undergraduates  to  present  research  results  in  a 
professional  setting.  Also,  for  professors,  Gabriel  said. 
It's  a  way  of  keeping  us  stimulated"  and  an  opportunity 
to  exchange  academic  ideas  with  faculties  of  other 
institutions. 

A  successful  conference  required  exemplary  cooperation 
and  planning.  A  "control  center"  table  for  all  conference 
information  was  manned  constantly  by  student  volunteers 
and  faculty-  Other  students  served  as  time  proctors  for 
readings,  Diehl  pointed  out  that  the  ECSC  is  primarily  a 
student-coordinated  and  student-run  conference. 

Nevertheless,  several  faculty  members  at  Lycoming 
beyond  Diehl  and  Gabriel  made  significant  contributions. 
Dr.  MelvinC,  Zimmerman,  assistant  professor  of  biology, 
coordinated  the  videotaping  of  all  presentations.  Dr  Dan 
O,  King,  assistant  professor  ol  biology,  and  Dr.  James  K 
Hummer,  professor  of  chemistry,  were  involved  in  several 
functions.  Dr  David  N  Je>,  assistant  professor  of  music, 
gave  electronic  music  demonstrations.  Dr  Richard  K. 
Erickson,  assistant  professor  of  physics  and  astronomy, 
put  on  planetarium  shows.  Dr.  David  A.  Franz,  assistant 
professor  of  chemistry,  performed  the  chemical  magic 
shows. 

Research-paper  awards  were  presented  to  students  in  six 
categories;  biology;  physics  and  engineering;  chemistry; 
mathematics  and  computer  science;  political  science  and 
economics;  and  sociology  and  psychology.  Lycoming 
students  opted  not  to  be  eligible  for  prizes. 

Lycoming  students  who  read  papers  were  Gretchen 
Eagen  (Clarks  Summit),  Steven  McDonald  (Mansfield), 
Albert  Stoner  (Altoona),  Charlene  Messner  (Roaring 
Branch).  Kimbra  Swigart  (Hackettstown,  N.J.),  Ellen 
Talbert  (Teaneck,  N.J.),  Ronald  Powers  (Jersey  Shore), 
and  Daniel  Leathers  (Williamsport).  all  of  the  class  of  '82; 
seniors  Catherine  Girardi  {Williamsport),  Douglas  Moses 
(Cranbury,  N.J.),  Donald  Nelson  (Millmont),  James 
Sherwood  (Mechanicsburg),  William  Vadinsky  (Bound

sophomore  Darin  Caldwell  (Harrisburg). 


Alumni  profile:  Paul  D.  Marsden  '71,  oil  broker 


When  he  was  ai  Lycoming  working  toward  a  degree  in 
social  science,  about  the  only  thing  Paul  D  Marsden  71 
knew  about  oil  was  that  it  should  be  changed  every  3.000 
miles  in  his  car. 

Today,  seated  in  a  tiny  office  adjoining  his  home, 
Marsden  can  speak  with  authority  about  where  oil  is 
coming  irom,  how  much  it  costs,  where  it  will  be  found  in 
the  future,  and  where  the  volatile  industry  is  headed 
Marsden  is  an  oil  broker  and  oil  equipment  salesman. 

Looking  for  a  good  deal  on  some  Saudi  crude?  See 
Marsden.  Do  you  need  an  intricate  $5  million  oil  rigT  See 
Marsden . 

All  this  is  pretty  heady  stuff.  Telephone  calls  to  Zurich, 
Geneva,  and  London.  Telex  messages  from  Houston  and 
Riyadah 

Where  is  Marsden  s  base  of  operation?  New  York  City? 
Pans?  Texas?  Oklahoma?  No— it's  Fredericksburg,  Va.,  in 
Spotsylvania  County 

The  32-year-old  Pennsylvania  native  sees  nothing 
unusual  about  that 

"I  consider  this  area  in  the  middle  of  things  as  tor  as  "il 
exploration,'  he  says    We're  near  what  is  called  the 
Eastern  Overthrust  Belt,  where  there's  a  lot  of  hot  play' 
for  exploration  " 

The  overthrust  belt  stretches  from  the  North  Carolina 
Blue  Ridge  on  a  line  northward  into  Pennsylvania. 

Marsden  ended  up  in  the  Fredericksburg  area  like  he 
entered  the  oil  business,  in  a  roundabout  way  At  Indiana 
1  Iniversity  ol  Pennsylvania,  he  earned  a  master's  degree  in 
social  science  Pari  of  the  degree,  however,  focused  on 
international  politics  This  landed  him  a  job  with  an 
equipment  manufacturing  tirm  with  contacts  and  contracts 
in  the  Middle  East. 

In  June,  I960,  Marsden  left  the  equipment  tirm   Me 
started  a  new  job  in  Fredericksburg  about  six  months  later 
li  didn  t  pan  out  and  by  last  |une.  he  was  on  his  own  as 
founder  and  president  of  Capricorn  International 
Marketing,  Inc 

Selling  equipment  and  accessories  is  still  his  "bread  and 
butter, "  says  Marsden,  who  serves  as  middleman  between 
lirms  and  companies  or  individuals  interested  in  buying 
and  selling  equipment   But  his  real  fascination  lies  in  the 
arena  of  megabucks  oil  brokering.  Marsden  had  a  deal 
pending  in  early  May  lor  four  million  barrels  of    Saudi 
light"  oil  to  a  Rotterdam  concern.  It  is  his  first  big  oil 
transaction  as  a  broker,  and  he  is  unabashed  in  his 
enthusiasm  over  it. 

His  role  as  an  oil  broker  is  like  the  part  Marsden  plays  in 
selling  equipment  -  -bringing  buyers  and  sellers  together 


k  in  his  office  in  his  Fredericksburg,  Va.,  home. 


ntacts 


Contacts  in  both  the  U.S.  and  abroad  keep  track  of  surplus 
oil,  its  whereabouts,  and  availability  When  the  oil  comes 
on  the  market.  Marsden  is  tipped  off  He,  in  turn,  c 
oil  companies  or  other  interested  buyers  and  the 
negotiations  are  on  — with  Marsden  in  the  middle. 

After  a  deal  is  nearly  consummated  and  his 
is  established.   "I  step  out  of  it  All  I  basically  do  is  get  the 
buyer  and  seller  together, "  he  says. 

But  in  the  fast-paced  world  of  oil.  that  is  easier  said  than 
done  A  political  snafu  in  the  Middle  East  can  throw  a  last 
minute  monkey  wrench  into  even  the  most  firmly 
entrenched  negotiations  And  in  addition  to  brokers  like 
Marsden,  there  may  be  countless  other   middlemen" 
waiting  to  share  in  the  profits 

It  is  both  an  exciting  and  risky  business.  Despite  his 
business'  potential  for  earning  power,  Marsden  says  he  is 
not  obsessed  with  making  a  lot  of  money. 


"1  used  to  lay  awake  at  night  thinking  about  all  the 
crude  oil  deals  I  was  going  to  make  but  I  don't  anymore," 
he  says.  "Now  I  rarely  think  about  the  profit  potential 
unless  I  have  other  people's  commissions  to  cover.  I  just 
put  up  my  own  commission  and  keep  on  going." 

Despite  a  learned  knowledge  of  how  the  oil  industry 
works,  Marsden  says  his  original  view  of  the  business  has 
changed  little  over  the  years 

"When  it  comes  to  oil  prices,  1  hope  they  don't  go  up," 
says  Marsden,  who  feels  the  current  low  prices  will  be 
shortlived.  "After  all,  I'm  ]ust  an  average  Joe  on  the  street 
when  it  comes  to  buying  gasoline." 

Marsden  and  his  wife.  Susan  have  three  children.

". . .  It  was  good  to  see  and 
renew  friendships  with  your 
class  members  and  with  faculty. 
Again,  my  gratitude  to  you  for 
the  opportunity  to  meet  with 
you,  for  the  laughter  and  plea- 
sures we  shared  last  Saturday  at 
The  Oaks."

"Multi  congratulations  on  a 
great  reunion!  It  was  fan- 
tastic ! In  these  thankless 

days  on  campuses,   May  8, 
1982,   stands  as  a   monument 
and  surely  makes  what  must 
approximate  500  years  (about 
20  faculty  X  an  average  of 
25  years  each)  of  teaching 
worth  every  minute  of  it ! 
In  teaching,   you've  got  to 
get  used  to  'loving  'em  and 
leaving  'em'  (students,   of 
course)  because  a  generation 
lasts  only  four  years  at  best. 
You  like  to  think  that  they've 
come  to  good  in  the  years 
ahead.     Seeing  such  a  large 
number  of  the  Lyco  Class  of 
'62  two  decades  later  was 
proof  that  is  has,  indeed!
