Frank Press, president of the National Academy of Sciences, was here for the opening celebration, and had a few words to say about the place for technology in society. 30 Byron Lichtenberg '69: First Brown Alumnus in Space Come September 1983, a new class of freshmen will be tossing frisbees on the Green, and Byron Lichtenberg will be orbiting the Earth.

A particular drawing, such as Meir's Floral composition shown in the caver inset, can be saved and displayed with a few simple commands.

Brown now has an opportunity to erase a bit of the shame over its treatment of ROTC. As a witness to that shame and as a loyal alumni and donor, I eagerly await the decision on ROTC. ALAN R. GOLDMAN '60, '71 Ph.D. Vicnnn. Va. Editor: Professor Bray, in my view, used one set of parentheses too nianv in his otherwise reasonable letter in the Sep- tember BAM. In the last sentence he par- enthesizes the word "retired." In doing so, does he shift his focus? Is Col. Ander- son's status now in question rather than his letter's content? It seemed so to me.

I urge immediate correction . ]. M. GATES (Mrs. Osly ]. Gates) Portland, Oreg. The paragraph referred to was part of the text in the story about Conunenccmcnt in that issue and referred to an i>icident during the proces- sion. By the accident of layout it fell under the picture of Mrs. Gates and her family, hut it had nothing to do loitli the picture, which ivas taken al another time. The caption for the four photographs on that two-page layout is on page 21. The BAM regrets that Mrs. Gates was embarrassed by what she thought was the asso- ciation of the photograph with the paragraph in question. — Editor Research on Women Editor: I've just read Professor Scott's reply to Timothy Pratt's letter {BAM. Sep- tember). Out of loyalty to Brown, you shouldn't have printed it. We don't want people to think Brown professors are as unintelligent as Professor Scott sounded there. The heart of her argument is the silly assumption that social problems, like can- cer research, must be tackled bv university research. Now nobodv doubts that medi- cal research must be done in universities (among other places). But the analogy does not hold. Social problems don't yield to the same kind of approach.

These facts were not dug out bv pro- fessors, but bv feminist activists and their lawvers. Unlike cancer research, which is based in universities, the front line of the women's movement is in the courts, in corporate board rooms, in government, and in the community. Brown got closer to the front lines (on the wrong side, alas!) in the Lamphere case than it ever will in Professor Scott's research. I have no idea what Professor Scott's research subject is, but 1 can still make that last statement with confidence, because that's the way it has always been. College research almost never helps social action. What research studies got us out of Vietnam? What ones led to the success of the Montgomery bus boycott? To the end of child labor? To votes for women? College students and professors acting as individuals may greatly help political or social causes, e.g., the Vietnam protest; but college research? Never! If Brown wants to spend $418,000 to help women, you should hire a couple of lawyers to file suits where the leaders of the women's movement think it would do the most good. Spending it for research will not help at all, and it's downright dishonest of Professor Scott to suggest otherwise. RALPH SIZER '64 Providence Editor: Although hypocrisy is by no means dead at Brown (or anvw-here else), I'm glad Ms. Scott troubled to answer Tim Pratt's letter. If I had been exposed to the work of one single female artist or art pro- fessor during my studies ('55-'59) at Brown and RISD, I might have had more tenacity in the career 1 had selected.

Thus, another response, I have to say, is a feeling of embarrassment, indignation, and even outrage. In the eyes of the whole world, America is a paradise of material plenty, especially food. And in this time of a troubled economy, wide unemployment, and the daunting expen- ses of education or reeducation, life in a $12,t)00-a-vear college seems both attrac- tive and enviable. Yet here we have the spectacle of the privileged and affluent choosing to stuff themselves only to throw up. This is not just wasteful, it is immoral. It disturbs me that such behavior seems to be excused: "Doesn't everybody do it?" "You are expected to be thin." "It's an age-old problem." Certainly it is Amer- ica's problem, too, where images and life-styles, fatty foods and tlashv packages not onlv are such big business but also provoke their equally extreme, expensive, and dangerous-to-your-health reactions. But should not Brown, a community of rational people dedicated to excellence, strive in this respect to elevate itself above society in general? lust to show compassion to the vic- tims and benign lais.sez-faire to the others is not quite enough. Perhaps the Pem- broke Center for Teaching and Research on Women could study what appears to underlie the bulimia problem, the perva- sive myth of thin-is-beautiful. In the meantime, and in addition to giving the most generous sympathy and research, the Brown community ought to come out and declare that the voluntary abuse of food, as long as anyone hungers any- where, is simply wrong.

V^lien Carol Morrison interviewed Byron Lichtenberg at MIT last year, his long- time dream of traveling in outer space had reached the threshold of reality. In Sep- tember, after this story ims loritten, Lichtenberg received the good news: His dream has come true. Lichtenberg has been selected, along with Ulf Merbold of the Max Planck Byron Lichtenberg '69 sits at the desk in his small office at MIT beneath a diagrammatic poster of the first space shuttle, Columbia. He is talking quickly, enthusiastically, and a little shyly about his dream — a dream that is close to coming true. "I was in high school when the first space missions were going up. I was reading a lot of science fiction at the time, and being an astronaut seemed like a really neat thing to do." With his wavy blond hair and chiseled features, he looks like a sci- ence fiction writer's idea of an astro- naut. Byron, however, didn't get the job of payload specialist on the ninth space shuttle flight as a result of any- one's romantic notions. He won it with years of careful planning and hard work. "I did try to program things," he says with a smile. "I looked at what the astronauts were then. They were military test pilots with an engineer- ing background. So I went to Brown and majored in engineering, and joined Air Force ROTC." After earning a B.S. in engineer- ing at Brown in 1969, Byron joined the Air Force, working his way into flight school with an eye toward a fighter assignment, because fighter assignments led to test pilot school. He was staHoned in the Philippines for two years as a fighter pilot. Then in April of 1972, as the Vietnam War was ending, his squadron was moved to Udon, Thailand, where they flew combat missions. "It was grim," he says. "Of forty people who were there all the time, ten of our squadron were shot down in nine months." Meanwhile, Byron's wife, Lee (Lombard '69 M.A.T.), who was teaching school in the Philippines, faced other challenges: During that year President Marcos declared Institute in West Germany, to serve as a payload specialist aboard the ninth space shuttle mission scheduled for next Sep- tember. The two researchers — the first "non-astronauts" to fly on a shuttle — were selected by a panel of thirty-six U.S and European scientists to accom- pany four NASA astronauts on the mis- sion. martial law, and a record-breaking flood — 145 inches of rain in twenty- four hours — swept through, cutting off the subdivision she lived in from the base. It was a grueling climax to Byron's four years in the Air Force for both of them. The space program was winding down in 1972 with the last of the Apollo missions. Skylab was a short- term project and the shuttle seemed a long way off, so Byron decided to enhance his value to NASA by con- tinuing his education. He entered graduate school at MIT, where he earned an M.S. degree in engineering in the field of artificial arms. When he talked to NASA officials in Hous- ton about improving his chances of being accepted into the astronaut program, however, they advised him to switch to the study of vestibular systems. Since the manned space program began, astronauts have been plagued with motion sickness, a fact that NASA doesn't hide but doesn't exactly publicize, either. The vestibu- lar system, the fluid-filled semicircu- lar canals in the vestibule of the inner ear that detect the pulls of gravity and acceleration, is key to under- standing the causes and prevention of motion sickness. It is an unglamo- rous, but vital, field. The Man- Vehicle Lab at MIT was studying this problem so Byron joined it as a Ph.D. candidate in 1976. That same year, in conjunction with some Canadian investigators, the lab proposed a series of experiments to be performed in the space shuttle. Their proposal was accepted. The principal investigator for each of these experiments was offered the opportunity to nominate two people for payload specialist on the mission. Byron was nominated, and after two selection interviews and a week-long physical at Houston, he was accepted 31 into "the finals." The mission Bvron has been as- signed to is Spacelab 1, a joint effort of NASA and the European Space Agencv, in which ten European coun- tries are involved. It is the first week-long, six-man mission, carrying two teams of pilot, mission specialist, and pavload specialist. Four men are training as pavload specialists for the flight: Byron, one other American, and two Europeans. One American and one European will go up; the other two will provide ground sup- port. The flight was originally intended to go up in 1980; this date has slipped to the fall of 1983, where, so far, it's standing firm. The payload and mission special- ists share responsiblity for some sev- entv-five experiments, mission spe- cialists being in charge of the inter- face of experiments to ship, and pavload specialists supervising the experiments themselves. The experi- ments fall into five categories: life sci- ences and biomedical engineering, materials science and metallurgy, space plasma physics, astronomy and solar phvsics, and earth observation. Needless to say, they're a mixed bag. "It's really a survey-type series to demonstrate the various experiments we can do, and what kinds of equip- ment we can carry," Byron explains. Representative experiments study why red blood cell mass decreases in space, how zero gravitation affects lubrication of bearings, and what atoms, molecules, and charged parti- cles constitute the upper atmosphere. Infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray pho- tos of several stars, including the sun, will be taken, as well as large- format pictures of the Earth for 3-D mapping. An imaging radar that pen- etrates clouds also will be used for Earth observations. "1 T" nderstandably, none of the I I scientists training for mission W>^ and payload specialist posi- tions is an expert in all five fields, so training began with two years of background science instruction. For each experiment, the men first re- ceived an overview of the area, then traveled to the principal investigator's lab for a detailed explanation of the experiment's whys and hows. "It was like going to graduate school in five different disciplines at once," Byron says, his brown eyes revealing his enthusiasm. "It was really exciting and challenging, be- cause we all had good, solid aca- demic and laboratory backgrounds, so the investigators could jump in at graduate-school level and take off from there." The principal investigators' labs are located throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan. Asked if he took along his wife and daughters, Kristin and Kimberly, Byron shook his head. "The problem is that we go on these whirlwind tours — you know, if it's Tuesday, this must be Brussels. Then Wednesday you're in London; Thursday, Bristol; Friday morning you're off to Copenhagen, then down to Germany. You might spend a week in Germany, but then you might go to Paris for two days, Gre- noble for a day-and-a-half, and Rome for three days, then back to Milan for a day, then hop over to Spain. . .On the first tour, in sixty-eight days we hit thirty-nine different cities. I wouldn't have wanted anyone to go through that — it's no fun at all. We saw the insides of airports, taxicabs, hotels, and the principal investiga- tors' labs, and that was about it." Byron's only space training so far has been five "zero-G" flights, in which a large jet climbs steeply, giv- ing the occupants about thirty sec- onds of 2G acceleration, then dives, providing a half-minute of weight- lessness. This pattern is usually re- peated between forty and sixty times. The record for Byron in one day was a hundred "parabolas": sixty before lunch and forty afterward. Each thirty-second weightless period is enough time to try out some little thing in the spacious hold: part of an experiment, or a blood draw, or sometimes something a little less serious, like a Superman flight from one end of the hold to the other, inches above the floor; or a game of catch, with one curled-up scientist serving as ball for the others. No doubt the jubilant dance televised from Skylab was born on similar flights. What does it feel like? "Marvelous! For one second there's a feeling of the ground drop- ping out from under you, but then you realize you're not going to fall, and the apprehension goes away." Occasionally someone gets motion sick while moving around. A lot of head motion or detailed work pro- motes sickness, and those unfortu- nates just have to strap themselves in and tough it out. Byron has never felt more than slightly queasy (though this is not necessarily an indication of how he'll feel in space). And what does the 2G ascent feel like? "Like somebody's standing on your chest." Starting last January, the Space- lab 1 crew began eighteen months of intensive training in Huntsville, Alabama, on the "Payload Crew Training Complex," NASA-ese for a working Spacelab mockup, where they are learning and practic- ing Spacelab I's experiments. Inter- spersed with this training are more trips to principal investigators' labs, and frequent visits to the Kennedy Space Center to run the real Spacelab through its final tests as it is being assembled. They'll also go to Hous- ton for training on the functioning of the orbiter itself. Although payload specialists are supposed to be scientists on a space flight during the course of their research, the numerous delays inter- spersed with stints of travel and training have made it difficult for Spacelab 1 payload specialists to stay abreast of their fields. Byron antici- pates that once shuttle flight becomes routine, payload specialists will need to leave their universities and re- search labs for only a few months of training. I talked to Byron in September of 1981. "Did you hear about the tiles?" he asked over the phone. "There was a fuel spill, and 350 tiles fell off." "You mean, the fuel was a solvent for the tile glue?" "That's what it looks like." "Oh, no!" "That's what everybody says," he said with good-natured resignation. "It looks like another delay." "Well, it will give you more train- ing time," I ventured weakly, sud- denly aware that I was talking about the goal he'd been working toward for nearly twenty years. "We have plentv of training time — too much training time." A note of urgency crept into his voice. "What we need is some space Hme!" 32 ■ m III ..i m t-^l iW '^1 ^ ;^- ■?; .»v- Ke« Singleton's house is one of several Classman has designed for Baltimore Orioles players. THE COLORFUL WORLD OF STEVE CLASSMAN, ARCHITECT By Anne Diffily Photographs by Ann Stevens A violet front door. Tomato-red kitchen blinds. A bright pink window alcove with rose trim, and in front of it, a royal-blue semi- circular table. A plum fireplace wall. These are just some of the colors in the Baltimore home of Stephen Glassman '72, a young architect who is attracting attention (and assign- ments) all over the country. Colors that sing out and rivet a visitor's eye are a hallmark of his interior designs. "I love color," exclaims Glassman, a short, intense man who radiates enthusiasm. Interiors are not his only specialty, however. Classman's firm. Art and Architectural Design, handles complete house and small-business design as well as interiors and land- scaping. In featuring him as one of "eighty-two people to watch in '82," Baltimore magazine last winter noted 33 that Glassman "is rapidly becoming known localh' as the architect of the stars. . .This spring hell complete a home for Oriole Ken Singleton." Glassman has designed homes for other members of the Orioles baseball team, but he calls the Singleton resi- dence "one of the most exciting pro- jects I've ever done." The Singletons, he savs, were "very open to daring and innovative ideas." What Glass- man has built for them is a sort of palace of illusions. "The house is a recollection of Tudor architecture," he explains. "On the outside it looks like a three-story house; inside, there are balconies overlooking a twenty-six- foot living room. Because it's on a hillside, the house has four levels. It appears to have chimneys all over, but thev're really skylights, so that shafts of light come down inside." On the two-acre, wooded property, Glassman designed a two-level swimming pool with a waterfall. "One of the greatest joys of being an architect," Glassman says, "is see- ing your ideas go from one dimen- sion in vour mind, to two dimensions on paper, to three dimensions in real- ity. I have clients who write to me to say how much joy they're getting out of their houses. This is a profession in which vou get a relatively immedi- ate result. It's not a delayed gratifi- cation." While not immediate, Glassman's rise in the architectural world has been rapid. An art history major at Brown, he received his master's degree from Yale Architecture in 1975. Back in his hometown, he became design coordinator for Balti- more County. "Less than a year later," he says, "the mayor of Balti- more called and asked me if I wanted to direct the renovation of City Hall. I worked on it for almost a year, and was a consultant to the mayor and the city council. The building got a lot of publicity — it won awards, was published in magazines such as Archi- tectural Record. Since then," Glassman says with a hint of pleased surprise, "I've never had to struggle." Which is just as well, for he believes that "artists aren't fortified by eating tur- nips for two years! It makes you frus- trated and resentful." He is particularly pleased that he has been successful in Baltimore, which in addition to being his home- town is lately a flurry of renovation 34 and reclamation. Rows and rows of old brick tenements and brownstones have been restored (some by the firm run by Bill Struever '74 and Cobber Eccles '74 featured in the January 1977 BAM), and the harborfront area has enjoyed a mercantile awakening similar to that of Boston's Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall complex. "There's something fruitful about coming back here," Glassman says. "I thought I'd work in New York after I got out of architecture school. I inter- viewed there with various firms, but I decided I didn't want to work for $9,000 a year! Everything has turned out so well here that I wouldn't want to leave now." from the outside, the headquar- ters of Art and Architectural Design are deceptively nonde- script. Cars zoom by the old brown- stone on a rather dreary stretch of East 25th Street, and only a discreet "A & A" lettered on the door whis- pers that a successful architect works here. Inside, all is exposed bricks and beams and, naturally, bright color. Steve Glassman is seated with a vis- itor in the workroom at a massive old table with stocky carved legs; old posters, architectural drawings, and floor-plan blueprints vie for space on the bulletin board; more drawings are rolled and stacked in a glass-paneled cabinet. The walls are red and sal- mon, the windows sport red narrow- slatted blinds, and track lighting illuminates all. Glassman is working alone in the office this day; on other days he is joined by his employees: a draftsman, a graphic designer, and a secretary/helper. "I like the idea of keeping my business small," he says. "It helps me retain the intimacy of contact with my client. And when you're working one-on-one, you take your responsi- bility to the client much more seri- ously. "These people [clients]," he adds, "are really placing their lives in your hands. You are practically married to them for six months or a year — for the duration of the project." The telephone rings frequently. "I think you could run one spine across to the windows in suite number three," Glassman suggests to a caller. "We're also going to have to rely on the mechanical engineer. I'll be out doing on-site supervision from 1:30 to 4 or so." He hangs up and turns to his visitor. "We believe in designing a complete job," he explains. "We do the building, the interiors, the land- scaping, and the site planning. If you have all those things handled sepa- L rately, you can end up with a mish- mash. The client won't know who to listen to." One advantage of having his own business, Glassman says, is that he can make his own rules. "I'm not good at following arbitrary instruc- tions," he says. "1 need to have rea- sons." And, he adds, he enjoys "wearing so many different hats." In addition to his architectural services, Glassman is skilled in graphic design and in buying and selling art. He worked as an assistant curator at the Louvre before entering Yale Architec- ture, continuing an interest that began when he was ten years old and started a personal collection of prints and drawings. He continues to buy art for clients as well as for himself, and has been generous in his dona- tions to Brown's permanent collec- tion. J. Xt rt and vibrant color accents are the focal points of the four- . teen-room French Tudor house Glassman shares with actor Mark Basile in a residential Baltimore neighborhood. Nearly every room features their collection of French and American paintings and sculptures, turn-of-the-century posters and draw- ings, ceramics, and glass. "Monkey on a Donkey," a whimsical wood Old posters and prints add color to Gtassman's office in a Baltimore brownstone. He started his art collection at age ten; now it fills much of his fourteen-room house and the A & A offices. sculpture by Dutch artist Karel Appel, adds bright primary colors to the beige-and-plum living room. Glassman designed the large geome- tric pedestal for the piece's display; he also created the modern semicircle of royal blue laminated plywood that serves as a dining table comfortably seating six. Glassman and Basile bought the sixty-three-year-old house several years ago from an elderly woman whose health was failing. "The rooms had long ago lost their luster to fall- ing plaster, layers of dark paint on the floors and woodwork, and gen- eral disrepair," Glassman recalls. But underneath all the dust and paint he and Basile found beautiful oak flooring, brass fittings on doors and windows, a French country mantel of light and dark oak, clay tiles in the solarium, mahogany doors, and por- celain bath fixtures. They totally rebuilt the kitchen, which with its white-and-red color scheme and big restaurant stove is a cook's dream; and created a study for Basile and two large studios for Glassman upstairs. From the winding road outside, Glassman's house appears much like its staid stucco-on-brick neighbors. Inside, a visitor accustomed to bland Colonial decor is pleasantly startled by unusual colors everywhere, and by a bumptious greeting from Alfie, a squirming, wagging miniature hay- stack that, Glassman explains, is part cocker spaniel, part Afghan hound. "Color," Glassman says, sipping tea and munching on a brownie at his blue table, "was the key here. It's integral to the mix of furnishings we have, from Victorian to contemporary classics, and to the works of art." Alfie thumps her tail on the antique Tabriz rug, eyeing the brownies hopefully. "People have gotten used to the idea that everything in their homes should fall into the back- ground and blend in. But color can do many things. You can make planes of space appear to recede or advance. People respond emotionally and psychologically to colors, and the architect/designer can address those issues." Glassman is excited about a cur- rent project, the renovation of a stone mill house built in 1750. "We had to reclaim all the walls — repoint and clean the stones," he says. "It looks fabulous. There are old wood floors, and modern appliances and wiring." Another ongoing job is the half-mil- lion-dollar design of a loft in New York City. Because his work often takes him on the road — he has done jobs in states from California to Del- aware, from Seattle to Toronto, and even in England — Glassman keeps an apartment in the Big Apple for con- venience. Most of his clients, Glassman says, are word-of-mouth referrals. "Every time I do a job, people see it and call me. I've been lucky that my work for sports stars and media peo- ple has gotten a lot of attention." Full-color articles on Glassman-de- signed homes and alterations have appeared in such magazines as Remodeling Ideas (published by Better Homes and Gardens), Woman's Day (which featured his own home), and Baltimore, to name a few. "I'm convinced that successful architects are 50-percent talent," Glassman says, "and 50-percent per- sonality. You have to have a rapport with people. Also, I'm always pleased with the quality of work that comes out of this office. It's always terribly exciting, even when it's not a particularly intellectual or cerebral project." In that vein, Glassman adds that he seldom, if ever, turns down a job, no matter how small or insignificant it seems. "People often preface their inquiries to me with, 'I don't know if you'll be interested in doing this. . .' I'm interested in anything — from a $20,000 project to a '$500,000 one. 1 love what I do, and I hope I never get conceited. In this profession, there's always room for humility. Everybody can make big mistakes." So far, however, any mistakes Steve Glassman, architect, has made are far overshadowed by his colorful successes. 35 THE CLASSES written by Cynthia Balzer "t Q The Reunion Committee met in J.O September to arrange tlie details ot our ti5th reunion.

He is a precise technician in his work and is interested m the esthetic rela- tionships among lines, shapes, and colors, an interest that is reflected in his architec- tural photography. "There is something in the angularity, the meticulousness of line that I like I am just as interested in an old garage as in a modern skyscraper.
