TOUGH QUESTIONS - WINTER 1993

****************************************************************

STAFF NOTES

Marjo Curgus, Program Assistant
Joining the SPUSA staff in early October, Marjo came to D.C. 
from the sunny Southwest where she recently graduated from the 
University of New Mexico with a bachelor`s degree in Political 
Science and Art Studio.  Marjo has been a mentor for a high 
school government class, a tutor for junior high students, a 
volunteer with an environmental organization, and co-producer of 
a weekly New Mexican public affairs program.  Marjo has enjoyed 
her stay in the nation`s capital despite the fact she has been 
unable to locate any good green chile.

Evelyne Delori, National Chapter Coordinator
Evelyne joined the SPUSA staff in early June to coordinate the 
SPUSA Chapter Program.  Before coming to Student Pugwash USA, 
she was a student of cultural anthropology at Barnard College of 
Columbia University.  Evelyne spent five summers working with an 
organization called Amigos de las Americas, which gives young 
people the opportunity to work on public health projects in 
Latin America.  She spent two summers in Ecuador, two in 
Paraguay, and one in Mexico contributing to different aspects of 
community sanitation, dental education, and environmental educa-
tion initiatives.  She loves to travel, cook, and be outdoors!

Timothy Larson, Program & Development Coordinator
Before joining SPUSA, Tim worked for several years with World 
Game Institute and a private consulting firm focusing on energy 
conservation and defense conversion.  Tim joined the staff in 
August  1991, after graduating from the University of 
Pennsylvania where he had been an active member of the UPENN 
Chapter.  While in Africa in 1990, Tim organized a conference on 
international development in Senegal with fellow Pugger Dann 
Sklarew.  After organizing the 1992 International Conference in 
Atlanta, Tim has returned to Washington to develop new SPUSA 
programs and to help advise the new president.

Barry Lasky, Program Czar
Barry joined SPUSA right before the International Conference in 
June.  He graduated from Hampshire College in the Spring of 
1991, after completing his senior thesis, `Ice Capades:  The 
Political Geography of the Antarctic Treaty System`.  Barry 
edited the Conference issue of TQ, is currently Editor for the 
fourth edittion of the New Careers Directory, and, most re-
cently, changed his title to Program Czar because he thought it 
made him look taller.

Mike Smith, Management Director
Mike, who joined the National Office in August of 1991, gradu-
ated from Yale University with a bachelor`s degree in Chemical 
Engineering.  Mike has been abroad almost as much as he has been 
in the states, having spent time studying in both France and 
Switzerland.  Most recently, he spent a year in Thailand, where 
he worked in community and business development with Thailand`s 
largest non-profit organization.  In between, Mike gave the req-
uisite two years to the corporate sector, serving in the con-
sulting practice of Price Waterhouse in Washington, D.C. and 
Dallas.  Mike does a little of everything at SPUSA, from coordi-
nating Professional Pugwash and New Careers activities to help-
ing out with fundraising and financial management.
