Simons, professor of chemistry at the University of Utah. U. Under the Harris University grant program, Simons and his research group will receive the H800 computer and software, installation and training for the systems manager. By January 1986, the system will be upgraded to an HI 200 computer with funds from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Army and the U. bringing the total value of the system to $532,000. newsstands. 7:30 p.m. Lesbian Gay Student Union meeting, OSH Rm. 215.

Computers are invaluable to the Sigma Chi given highest honor The Sigma Chi fraternity at the University of Utah has received a Significant Chapter Award at the international organization's recent leadership training workshop in Ohio. The award was one of 75 presented among the 192 scientist in performing molecular modeling and computational chemistry. His research group of three postdoctoral and seven graduate students will also use the system. . William A. Hogan, coordinator of the Harris grant program, recently presented the award to Simons at the U. Hogan said Harris Corp. selected the U,s department of chemistry as "one of the outstanding departments in the country.' Simons said the state of the art Harris equipment is called a "super minicomputer," the type of system on which scientists will conduct computations over the next chapters nationwide. It recognizes outstanding performance in all fields of operations, programs and activities, and is the highest honor an undergraduate chapter can receive. Chapters winning the distinction receive a donation for their counseling and tutoring programs from the Sigma Chi Foundation, which sponsors the award. Mark Paul, a senior from Salt Lake Gty, is chapter president and attended the workshop at Bowling Green I ITS DETTEIT BMS1 HISS UTAH USA AND MISS UTAH TEEN USA PAGEANT You can win fame and fortune as Utah's sentative in the 1986 Miss USA and Miss USA Teen Finals. The search is on for Miss Utah USA V i V NO faster than that system. The grant means that students who must constantly wait in line for access to a computer in order to complete doctoral degrees will find relief. For Simons, the new system represents a enhancement in power which encourages scientists to tackle more difficult problems. Calculations that are projected to take a year to complete often confound researchers whose computer time is severely restricted, he 24-fo- ld said. "Sometimes our machines limit what we can do. In essence the technology blocks our ability to tackle the more difficult problems, he said. " What I'm noticing in our group is that we're getting bolder and more aggressive in our thinking. Suddenly, that one-yeproject is shortened significantly. Simons has received degrees in chemistry, physics and mathematics from the Case Institute of Technology and the University of Wisconsin. He was a WSF postdoctoral ar fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the U. faculty in 1971.
