Faculty Research Lecturers Professors Edward H. Schafer, Oriental languages; and Steven Smale, Mathematics, were selected by the Academic Senate as Faculty Research Lecturers for 1983-84, often considered the highest honor the Berkeley faculty confers upon its own members. Schafer, who began teaching at Cal in 1947, is a world-renowned philologist and cultural historian of medieval China. Through his valuable research, this scholar has sought to join East and West in the realms of technology, natural science, and material culture in general. In later work, Schafer went on to explore the role of language in Medieval Chinese culture and thought. Not long after Smale joined the Berkeley faculty in 1964, he received several prestigious awards, such as the Veblen Prize for Geometry (1965) and the Fields Medal (1966), which many in the mathematics com- munity have named the Nobel Prize of mathematic. He has attained considerable attention and recognition for his laudable work in topology, a branch of mathematics ... concerned with changing geometric shapes while holding certain conditions constant; and more recently, his research on the simplex algorithm, a method used to solve linear program- ming problems often encountered by large businesses.

Chancellor Ira Michael Heyman commitment to accomplish the desired end: the amelioration of teaching and learning. Heyman does not speak of goals as goals. Goals, he says, is a term more representative of the 60 ' s generation. Rather, the Chancellor prefers to project future improvements in concrete and prac- tical language. Three major ac- complishments Chancellor Heyman would like to achieve the most for Berkeley are: to establish a more diversified and heterogeneous representative of people on campus; attain competitive faculty salaries; and strengthen the crucial depart- ments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineer- ing, and Biology. Chancellor Heyman ' s determination leaves no doubt that these goals will be realized — Mimi Janopaul On a bright, early fall morning, when the sun starts at the building-tops in its daily effort to warm the bay-cooled Berkeley campus, I saw for the first time Ira Michael Heyman, Chancellor of the Univer- sity of California, Berkeley. Wearing the immediate- ly recognizeable bowtie and carrying books and a briefcase, Chancellor Heyman suddenly came to life. Descending from the Campanile lawn past Doe Library on his way to work, he emerged from the black and white photographs in the Daily Cal and became an individual with vivid dimension. Just then, warm greetings from two colleagues cap- tured the Chancellor ' s attention and I went on my way, saving my hello for another time. In an interview almost three months later, I was able to discover the individuality and energy Chancellor Heyman brings to each endeavor he undertakes. Meeting outside the doors of California Hall, we went up to his second floor office to get the day started. After checking appointments for the morning, unlocking doors, and taking a phone call, he promptly went to the office kitchen to brew the morning coffee. Unfortunately, the search for coffee only led to the discovery of a cabinet filled with Cremora coffee creamers. Relaxed and personable, there was something incredibly comforting about watching this 6 ' 3 Chancellor ex- ecute the a.m. coffee ritual with a Parliament tuck- ed behind his ear. This interview, however, would not span the biographical history of Chancellor Heyman ' s tradi- tional, Americana life. His 25th year of being part of the Cal campus generated no feelings of nostal- gia and there were no romantic stories about being born during the Great Depression, meeting his wife at age thirteen, marrying the girl next door, playing basketball for Dartmouth, attending Yale Law School, or clerking for Chief Justice Earl Warren of the U.S. Supreme Court, a Cal alumnus. Although he politely and directly answered questions regard- ing his personal life, what Heyman really wanted to talk about was Cal and the direction he envisions. Mine is a limited task. The university runs itself. I look after what needs looking after and I keep an eye on what needs improvement. In the area of providing for Cal ' s continued excellence, the Chancellor must take risks and generate en- thusiasm. And so it is that his skill in the area of risks coupled with the Heyman enthusiasm are what make successful his formula for improving the University ' s future. For example, in the search for funds to remedy the negative impacts of low budgets, Chancellor Heyman has demonstrated both these essential qualities. Heyman has a firm 24 Faculty
