 On
Friday 15th of March in the Heroes Hall on the University of Philology
the most prestigious Serbian award for top results in the field of
Physics was consigned - the "Marko Jaric" award. This award is also
known as the "Serbian Nobel prize" for it can be given to any Serb no
matter where in the world they worked and researched.
Mr.
Marko Jaric is one of the most brilliant minds of Serbian Physics. He
lived and worked in the USA. He was an active Serbian Unity Congress
member and was extremely engaged in defending the Serbian name during
the last decade of the 20th century. In honor to the early deceased Mr.
Jaric, this award was originated on the Faculty of Physics of the
Belgrade University, and from the very beginning the sponsor of the
fund was SUC.
 In
the hall in which, by circumstance, Mr. Jaric was in his time announced
student of the generation of University in Belgrade, a ceremonial
academy was held that was attended by representatives of the Republic
Government, University, and all the science institutions of Belgrade.
The "Braca Baruh" choir held a concert of Serbian, Jew and Mozart's
music, and Mrs. Slavka Draskovic-Jovanovic, director of the SUC
Belgrade Office reminded in the donor's name all present of the life
and person of Mr. Jaric. In the name of the University, the audience
was addressed by Mr. Ivan Juranic, the vice rector.
Professors
Ilija Savic and Milan Bozic announced this year's winner, Mr. Leonard
Golubovic, professor on the University of West Virginia, USA. Mr.
Golubovic got the prize for his research from the field of interphase
dynamics in the context of liquid crystals and exploring the
statistically-physical ensembles of fluctuating accidental surfaces. He
thereafter held a lecture in which he in a popular way helped the
attendants envisage the core of the interesting and relevant topic he
researches.
The ceremony ended with a cocktail in the M&M Club on the University of Philology.
