Professor Leo Sachs of the molecular biology department was awarded the Bristol Myers prize, and Michael Feldman, professor of development biology, won a prestigious French prize. Former In- stitute president Professor Michael Sela himself received a prize recently from France's Institut de la Vie for his work in chemical immunology. However, modern science needs more than human talent. The facilities at the Weizmann Institute are among the finest in the world. The Koffler Accelerator, with a 12-story tower, enables researchers to examine the atomic nucleus, one of the most minute structures in the entire universe. A more recent addition to the Institute's skyline is the Canadian Institute for the Energies and Applied Research. This facility in- cludes a 160-foot high solar tower containing 63 mirrors. These mirrors are designed to reflect and focus the sun's radiation onto a range of ex- perimental targets. At peak operation, the total reflected power reaches 3,000 kilowatts of thermal energy. The aim of this research is to find ways in which solar energy can be substituted for imported fuels like oil. Indeed, the thrust of work at the Weizmann Institute has always had an applied, practical target — to help make Israel financially self sufficient. The Institute itself generates a vast amount of capital. The Yeda Research and Development, establish- ed in 1959 to commercially exploit the discoveries at the Institute, makes annual pro- fits of more than $20 million. This represents a lucrative slice of the Institute's annual budget of $75 million. Like all establishments of higher education in Israel, the Weiz- mann Institute is suffering from governmental expen- diture cuts. It is currently running a budget deficit of $18 million. Budgetary worries aside, however, Weizmann would have no doubt been proud of today's Institute. It has maintained its reputation for excellence and is held in great esteem worldwide as the home of scientific pioneers and dedicated Zionists. ❑ I LOCAL NEWS I N R 's NIE A WE MON.-TUES. 10-6 WED.-THURS. 10-9 FRIDAY 10-MIDNIGHT SAT. 10-6, SUN. 12-5 HUNTERS SQUARE ORCHARD LAKE ROAD = SOUTH OF 14 MILE GIFT IDEAS Michael Eizelman, left, chaired the recent Detroit Friends of Bar-Ilan University new prospects evening, hosted by Dr. and Mrs. David Harold, right.
