Lehigh University Focuses on Glass Research
Lehigh University has received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish an international research center supporting research into glass. The International Materials Institute for New Functionality in Glasses (IMI) will sponsor research into six new potential uses for glass, says IMI director Himanshu Jain, Diamond Chair Professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh. These are glassy metamaterials, including novel glasses and nanocomposites; functional coatings; glasses engineered for strength; ionic functionality; optical functionality; and biofunctionality. Jain says the IMI will also promote glass research in the US, whose leadership in the field is being challenged by nations in Europe and Asia.

Students, faculty and staff carried the 60 flags represented at Lehigh across campus in the Parade of Nations and Territories yesterday as a kick-off to Lehigh’s International Week 2004. “Lehigh’s international presence has grown exponentially in just the last few years,” said Bill Hunter, director of the Office of International Students and Scholars. “We’re active in most corners of the world. We take this week to celebrate all the countries, cultures and people who make up Lehigh’s international community.” Other events this week will include international cooking, music and films; Diwali, the Indian festival of lights; and a keynote address on Thursday from Paul McHale, assistant secretary of defense for homeland security.

David Diggs, lecturer in Lehigh’s music department, authored an article on the Eley Recording Project, who has begun the editing process on the historic recording of the music of the first Regimental Band of the Coldstream Guards. The recording will honor the genius of Christopher Eley, who traveled to England in 1785 at the request of the Duke of York and introduced a new, bolder sound for military bands. “What Eley created was a band of enormous power, yet capable of great subtlety in tonal color and dynamic shading; a band requiring first-rate performers and yet an ensemble to inspire emulation,” wrote Diggs.

U.S. Must Recommit, With Caution, to Middle East Peace
Eli Schwartz, professor emeritus of economics and finance at Lehigh, wrote an op-ed on a major terrorist atrocity that took place last month in Taba, an Egyptian resort in the Sinai on the Red Sea, close to the border with Israel. “The terrorists may have thought Taba was a deserving target because symbolically, it was the site of the peace accord,” Schwartz wrote. “The attack was multi-targeted. It killed Israeli tourists, Egyptian hotel workers, and tourists from other countries who might consort with Israelis, and it wrecked havoc on the Hilton hotel run by Americans. Perhaps the results were not what was expected.”

If any of the 2,111 at Harbin Field yesterday believed Georgetown stood a chance at upsetting Lehigh, those thoughts quickly dissipated after the No. 9 Mountain Hawks returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. It was the start of a disturbing special teams trend for the Hoyas, 49-18 losers despite perhaps their best offensive game of the season. The defeat, the Hoyas' third straight in the Patriot Lea
