Editor's Comments: Where has the time gone?  It is hard for me to believe that I am completing my 20th year at ASU.  The Department continues to change, with new faculty joining our ranks and some old friends leaving us. It is with great sadness I must tell you that two of our colleagues passed away this past year, Drs. David Chittenden and David Jimerson.  They will both be missed. If you stop by the Department office, you will see some new faces.  Our secretaries Ms. Betty Pulford and Lisa Templeton moved on to other on-campus appointments, but we are fortunate to have Ms. Rhonda Curbo and Mary Wright join us.  (I don't know if they will say the same). Dr. Jon Russ has moved on to bigger, and hopefully better, things.  The Physics faculty have two new  temporary faculty members to replace Drs. Ammons and Daghigh.  Dr. Li has stepped down as interim chair and Dr. Johnson has taken on the task of running the Department.  The Arkansas Biosciences Institute building is complete and we are hoping to be involved with the ABI program as well as strengthen our commitment to the Environmental Sciences program.   The Department is excited about the future and the steps ASU is taking toward making our curriculum a comprehensive experience for our students. We hope the alumni will continue to support the Department and help welcome the new faculty as they come on board.  We would also like to hear from the alumni, not only to let us know what you are doing, but to let us know what we are doing well, and areas where we can improve.

Alumni eGroup - where has the Alumni eGroup gone? There hasn't been much activity lately, maybe we are all busier.  Please let us hear from you.  Allen Goad is still running the group.  The web address is: http://www.egroups.com/group/ASU_Chemistry_Alumni

Others that sent letters or e-mails are:

Susan Deatherage Armstrong: says "I've been at Emerson Electric in Paragould for almost 7 years now.  I work in the accounting dept. doing payroll. Rich is Director of Nursing at Skilcare Nursing Center in Jonesboro on Browns Lane.  We don't have any kids except for our 10 year old basset-beagle, Toby."

Brad McNew:  In May Brad finished his first year of pharmacy school.  Only 2 more years of didactic course work, and only one for all of the clinicals.  So far he's learned quit a bit, but next year is the beginning of therapeutics.  So he's just now getting into the breadth of pharmacy.  Over the summer Brad has been working at Medicine Shoppe International. St. Louis College of Pharmacy (STLCOP) selected Brad to represent them as a marketing intern.

Department News:

Welcome: Drs. Kimberly Mace, Carolyn Dowling, Richard Lloyd and Larry Weaver have joined us this year. Dr. Weaver says "Since receiving my PhD from the physics department at Indiana University Bloomington, I have taught physics in various temporary positions around the country and have pursued my interest in physics education research." Dr. Mace comes to us from the University of Colorado, Dr. Dowling from Rochester University and Dr. Lloyd from Iowa State.

Good luck:  to Dr. Jon Russ, who is moving on to be the Chairperson at Rhodes College in Memphis. Jon played a vital role in the Department and helped educate numerous students in both the classroom and in the laboratory.

Congratulations:  Dr. Robyn Hannigan has been appointed to the National Academy of          Science Board on Earth Sciences and Resources. As a nationally recognized expert in earth            science, Dr. Hannigan will participate in board meetings twice a year in Washington, D.C. to            guide the collection of scientific knowledge and advice on the nation's most important problems.

Congratulations: Dr. Bao-An Li, winner of the 2004 "Dean's Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award" College of Science and Mathematics, ASU

Promotion: Dr. Bao-An Li was promoted to Professor of Physics, and based on current and past newsletters, you can see this honor is well deserved. Congratulations Dr. Li.

Chittenden Scholarship: Ms. Ruby Chittenden endows the David M. Chittenden Chemistry Scholarship to be presented to a junior or senior chemistry major.  The Department would like to thank Ruby for her generous contribution.

Scholarly Activity:

During the past year, the Department of Chemistry and Physics has continued to publish articles in national/international journals and state/regional journals. In addition, scholarly presentations have been made at state, regional, national and international  meetings. Many of these papers have been presented by students who participated in the research. Our students have played an important role in the research and presentations of our Department. The department has also received funding from outside sources and may receive additional funding from grants which are now in review.  A listing of our activities is found below:

ASU scientists receive $12 million Dept. of Defense contract
ASU received the news the end of last week that the 2005 Department of Defense appropriations bill which included a $12 million contract for ASU scientists was signed by President George W. Bush. The contract includes two projects which will be conducted by Dr. Susan D. Allen, Research and Academic Affairs; Dr. Robyn Hannigan, Chemistry; Dr. Bruce Johnson, Physics; Dr. William Burns, Chemistry; Dr. Scott Reeve, Chemistry; and Dr. Sergey Kudryshov, Physics. The scientists will work with two other universities to research and create remote detection techniques for minute levels of nuclear, chemical and biological substances.  One of the programs, SHADES (Standoff Hazardous Agent Detection Equipment System) will be used to detect nuclear and chemical particles for the location of weapons of mass destruction.  The other program, SSRID (Standoff Sensor for Radionuclide Identification) will detect particles to determine contamination levels from such weapons.
