Other groups that will be reviewed this winterby SPEC panels are the Oceanography Project(7-8 February) and the Research Aviation Facility(16-17 February).

SPEC, elected each year by the UCAR Members'Representatives, appoints ad hoc panels to carry outreviews of NCAR projects and facilities. Each groupis reviewed every three years. These reviews aredesigned to aid UCAR in managing NCAR's scientificprograms and to provide information about NCARprograms to NSF. The review panels submit reportsto UCAR President Francis Bretherton, who sends themto NSF. SPEC reports to UCAR Members' Representativesat their annual meeting in October. Members of SPECare Marx Brook (New Mexico Institute of Mining andTechnology), David Houghton (University of Wiscon-sin), Ferris Webster (Woods Hole OceanographicInstitution), and Morton Wurtele (UCLA). *

BEN KIMBELL CLEARS THE TRACK

At a recent meeting, the NCAR Safety Committeegave special thanks to custodian Ben Kimbell for hisefforts to keep the halls at the Mesa Laboratorycleared. Blair Smallwood, our Safety Officer, said,"Ben's congenial but insistent offers to remove items'temporarily' placed in the halls have resulted in avast improvement in the safety and appearance of thedesignated exit paths in the building."

In late August, John Firor wrote a memo to thestaff, which was published in Staff Note,5, askingthat we actively participate in an effort to main-tain the hallways free of stored items. John'srequest followed a careful safety evaluation of theMesa Lab, conducted by Blair, the Safety Committee,and the Boulder Fire Marshal; the committee con-cluded that material stored in the halls couldlimit effective emergency use of the hallways andcould mean the spread of a fire that might otherwisebe contained in a smaller area.

Ben Kimbell will continue removing unclaimedmaterial in the halls. The 30th Street warehousecan accommodate your least-used records, and theMarshall warehouse is available for storing equip-ment. If you need help in moving things, pleasecall Rose Bridgewater at ext. 509. o

Tony won two first-place awards, for his photosof geese flying over a lake and a constructionworker at NCAR (which appeared in last week'spicture story in Staff Notes about construction ofthe west addition to the Mesa Lab). These pictureswill compete at the national PPA convention inChicago this summer. In addition, his photographof ice pellets being ejected from an ice-throwingdevice was accepted for exhibition; this picture,taken with a high-speed, multi-exposure technique,appeared in the 24 September 1976 Staff Nota inan article on studying the effect of hail on crops.Also selected for exhibition were three of Bob'sphotos--of a lathe in the NCAR machine shop, adeer on the NCAR mesa, and some stoneware. e

NEW ART EXHIBIT AT NCAR

Pencil drawings by Janet Stevens of Boulder willbe shown during the month of February in the second-floor exhibit area of the Mesa Laboratory. Stevens,who holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from theUniversity of Colorado, is a free-lance commercialillustrator who also spends a good deal of timedrawing for her own pleasure. She has worked ex-tensively in textile design and has done somearchitectural illustration. She teaches two classesin drawing at the Boulder YWCA. Describing the workthat is being shown at NCAR, Stevens says: "It re-flects the fun and enjoyment I experience. I'vegrown tired of being told what and how to draw.After much frustration, I gave that up and startedpleasing myself, and here are the results."
