EXPLOSION from page 1
Kauffman is certainly
known for more than just
explosions. He is best
known for his long list of
research articles/ nearing
the 1,000 plateau. He has
cranked out 965 papers,
with more in preparation.
His work doesn't go un¬
noticed.
Kaiifrrnan'sMcLaneHall
office, his school housing
since September 1956, is
packed with more than just
filingcabinets and old beak¬
ers. On the walls are vari¬
ous certificates and plaques
he has been awarded.
His latest accolade is the
Chernyaev Medal he re¬
ceived in January by theSci-
entific Council of the N.S,
Kurnakov Institute of Gen¬
eral and Inorganic Chemis¬
try, Russian Academy of
Sciences.
The medal bears the like¬
ness of Russian academi¬
cian Dya Hyich Chernyaev,
a Soviet chemist and direc¬
tor of Moscow's famed
Platinum Institute.
Kauffman received the
medal for his works about
Russian, chemists. His in¬
terest in Russian chemists
arose in the early 1960s
when he and his students
were working in the labo¬
ratory with compounds of
the platinum group of met¬
als, one of Russia's top re¬
sources. 1-~
A        number       of
Kauffman's several dozen
articles on Russian chem¬
ists were devoted to Ch¬
ernyaev. Kauffman has an
autographed photo of Ch¬
ernyaev in his office.
"VVe always joke about
hero medals/' Kauffman
said. Ifs not something
you apply for. (The Ch¬
ernyaev medal) came as a -
complete surprise to me."
Students and fellow col¬
leagues call Kauffman an
incredibly busy man who
rarely is found sitting
down doing nothing.
"George is a very me¬
ticulous person," chemis¬
try professor Dr. JoeToney
said. "He's very involved
in what he's doing. He*
isn't a yack yack type of
person.
». "Dr. Kauffman has put
Fresno State on the map in
terms of chemistry,"
Toney said. "He is known
by all the Noble Prize win¬
ners and on and on. He's
brought notoriety to the
school."
"He's thorough/' said
junior Lawrence Unter-
berger,  a  student  from
Moorpark junior college who
is another one of Kauffman's
demonstrators. "He's very
thorough. He clarifies every¬
thing before he goes on. He
makes sure everything is
understood!"
Chemistry Stockroom
Technician Jack Jackson said
he admires the amount of
time Kauffman puts into his
demonstrations
"He does a lot of demon-
strations to demonstrate
chemical principles," Jackson
said. "He^s very big on that
You won't see him sitting
around."
Chemistry Department
Chair Dr. David Zellmer said
Kauffman is strongly dedi¬
cated to bis field and is known
around the globe for his re¬
search publications.
"He is certainly interna¬
tionally know^i," Zellmer
said. "He is one of the most
prolific writers in the sciences
today. To print Out bis list (of
published articles) on a com¬
puter would take a long
time."
