Mary Gresham, vice presidem for public service and urban affairs and dean of the Graduate School of Education, is chairing the 200 I SEFA campaign. _.,the SUA .......... gc*lg7 Currently, UB is at 46 percent o{ its goaJ for the campaign. We have received SEFA pledge fonns from i,350 employees. The SEFA Kick· Off on Sept. 20 showed the tre· mendous suP.port the SEFA campaign enjoys in the UB commu · nity. We look forward to a lot of activity in the next couple of weeks as the campaign continues. for example,l hope everyone will attend the SEFA Cookie Bake-Off today at noon in the Student Union. Janice Okun, food editor for The Buffalo News, will be one of the Judges. The liaisons have been doIng a wonderful job disseminating a nd collecting forms, and encouraging colleagues to contribute to the SEFA campaign. Western New Yorker'$ h•ve been Yet')' generous In contributing to the Yarious funds to aid the victims of the terrorist attacks. How has thl.s affe<ted the SUA/ United Way campalgns7 / The events of Sept. II have affected all of us. Individu als have had to make so me very difficult deci sions on how these events im pact on their lives and how they can contribute to vanous relief efforts established to address the aftermath of the attadls . Al though many existing philan thropic agencies have noticed decreases in giving sinu the events of Sept. 11 , the outpouring of monetary and humanitarian support to special relief funds in a time of crisis is encouraging. We trust that our UB community will continue to support the SEFA campaign at the levels of giving we have been known for in the past, both locally and nationally, and that we will be successful in realizing our UB SEFA goals. We •II haYe only so much money to contribute to charities, and many people .aready haYe given to these'other funds . Why Is It Important that we continue to support UFA and the United Way7 The need for the services provided by the vanous agencies supported by the United Way and the State Employees Federated Appeal (S EFA) has not gone away. While there are immediate concerns that are being addussed by speciaJ di ~ saster relief funds, the heal~ and human services neais of individu als in our region and in our na · tion are ongoing and will be sup· ported with the funds collected in the SEFA campaign. Local agtn cies suppor ted by SEFA funds , such as Crisis Services, the Bufl:alo chapter of the American Red Cross, Life Transition~ Center, Child and Family Services, all contributed personnel and molle'y to relief efforts downstate as a r~ult of the terrorist attacks, in addjtion to carrying on with their daily agency responsibilities. By contributing to SEFA, the University at Buffalo again demonstrates its commitment to the community. There are so many worthy SUA/United Way agencies to contribute to, I don 't know how to designate my gift. What 's the Community C•re Fund7 The· Community Care Fund ts part of the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. The United Way Co mmunity Care Fund is a great way to do the most good with a single co ntribut ion. This fund invests in more than 200 caring, re sults·driven local programs; uses trained , knowledgeable volun · teers to distribute the funds in local programs that do the most good, a nd evolves to meet the co nstantly changing needs in our community. Programs re T ceiving funds through the United Way Community Care Fund are held to rigorous standards and are subject to regular reviews of their opera· tions, programs and financial status. question do you wish I """ uked, and '-would you ha•e answered It? I believe that you've asked some •mportant questions, but I would like to r~1tc rate some· thing I've already pointed out. That is, it IS ~xtremely impor· tant to continue to support the hundreds of local SEFA agen · c1es that respond to crise-s m ou r region on a daily basis. Ev ery day, a life IS saved or someone is helped who has nowhere else to rum becausc of the work done by our local SEFA agen ·. Cles. We 've aJI focused on the events of 9/ 1 I as is appropn · ate , but it is no substitute for supporting the hard work and demonstrated commitment of these well -run . established agencie.. I hope everyone will give generously this year.

Administrators and the architect will consider all input received in developing the final master plan, Wilson said, adding that financ' ing will be addressed once the master plan is in place. The majority of the project would be self-financed, he said, noting that s<udent rental fees ""uld pay for the housing, while rents paid by retail tmants, as well as student recreation and health fees, parking fees and grants also could be used to fund the projeCt. Very little state money ""uld go toward the project, he stressed The project would be built in phases, and could tal« up to 10 yean to com plete, Wilson said, adding that construction on a few build· mg.s-most likely housing at the north end of the project near Ellicon--cOuld begin as soon as late Summer 2002.

We wanted the court room to be consiste nt with Western New York traditions, and the Roycroft style of furniture is something people associatf' with Wester~ New York," Kannar said. "'We chose oak paneling and furniture that match the original student lock ers in O'Brian HaJI to giv~ a con · s1stent sense of design ." Construction of 1M courtroom, begun in July 2000, was completed at a cost of slightly more than S l million by Picone Co nstruc1ion C.orp. of Wttliamsville. "The project is a model for cap& - tal renovauon for the law school in the fu<ure," noted Olsen. The legal community has been enthusiastic about the new court · room. Olsen and Kannar said. "The response from the judiciary and the bar has been tremendous... said Kannar... Everyont seems to appreciate the opportunity that the UB Law Courtroom presents to in tegrak the law school into the ongoing ""rk of the legal community, and the judges seem genuinely a cited about being able to integrate the educationaJ process mto the ju diaal proc= as well.· Olsen also praised the local judiciary for its support of the project. "I am grateful for the support and as.•IStance of Judge Doyle and Judge p;gon, who were extremely hdpful , and I appreoatf' their willi(l8Jless to partiCipate 111 the courtroom proja."1,'' he said.

"It is an opportunity for UB law students ID tal« what they're learning in the classroom and to see thost lessons applied in practice, in a full -fledged working courtroom located just across the hall.

This univ<rsity has made, in my opinion, some appointments with <X<Illplary faculty consultation. For example, when there ,....., an ap· pointmentto be made fo r the dean of the newoombincd College ofAnsand Sciences, the university had at least three appropriate candidates appear pubtidy on campus, speak at well· publici2cd mcelifl&'. answer questions and have tht'ir vitas distnbuted. fac. ulty judgments were solicited. Ofcourse, this process helped to create some legitimacy for the pmon who had to administer the new unit In my opinion, ..consultation with the faculty" docs not mean either no fuculty consultation, mere gossip. nor only a post-appointment, pre-press release, mrly notification. Faculty S~nate members could learn which dccanal and si milar ad ministrativt•appoinuncntsduriilgthe pa"'t three or four rears have had th(' lt."veb of faculty consultation legitimately required b)•SUNY poli<y.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Skyscrapers are the product of developmcnts in structural steel technology, circulation technology and the aesthetics of vertical c:xpression. The passenger elevator was not used in office buildings until the early 1870s; until that time, stamina was the limit on building height typicallyfivetosixstories.Withthe peccably proportioned, abstractly figured and set back from the stre<t to cr~at~ a d~ep urban plaza, Seagram's became the paradigm for many tall buildings throughout the U.S. Yet, it is only SISfeet-38 sto- ries--<all.ltissmaDcomp;ued t~the Empire State Building, constructed som~ 20yearsearlier,and miniscule compa red the 1,350-feet-high prehended from within the urban fabric-but through their representation on postcards and photographs, where they became signifiers not of world finance, bot of the sheer exuberance of the modern metropolis.

This building was the limit case for bearing-wall construction. The use of steel -frame technology and curtai_n-wall enclosure is credited to known as, 3 symbol of global finance, the twin towers became much more--or much less-than their original sym bolic co ntent.

The exp ressive potential fo r building vertically was articulated by Louis Sullivan, who in 1896, wrote a seminal essay entitled .. The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered." In a word, Sullivan identified '" loftiness" as the chief characteristic of the tall building. One of the most important and exquisite examples of the art and scie n ce of building tal l remains Sull ivan 's G uaranty Building in downtown Buffalo. It is merely 13 stories hi gh.

Paul Goldberger, writing on the World Trade towers, was most taken by the attractive pull of th< 107th-floor restaurant (presumably because he, like Maupassant, didn't have 10 see the towers themselves.) After Philippe Petit-strung a cable.between the towers and crossed with · out a net, they became something of a carnivalesque venue. The tow· ers were most co mmonl y con sumed vis ually, not in personthey simply were too large to be ap- architecrumlmaxim,asfaras I know. litical. But why the WTC and not some other centtt of world finance? Why not the stock exchange or the Feder.ol Reserve building? Perhaps, given the natU re of thest attacks, it is because the towers were both a significant symbolic target and an easy aerial target. The Pentagon, the White Ho use and the towers all are architectures of strong fonn . Sin- gular strong form has been used before to guide aerial missions. 1 am reminded of a very distinctive, "T"shaped bridge, visible easily from an airplane, in Hiroshima. It was the landmark and bull's-eye that guided the Americao bombers. Will the attack affect architect.' desires to design dlJ· scrapers? I recently had breakfast at the airport a nd had to spread cream cheese on my bagel using the back of a plastic spoon. Their attacks sho uld no t cause us to abandon ei th er tall buildings or plasli c knifes, since both exist for pretty good reasons. There is a reason - a limited ground plane is replicated many times over by · building upwards. There is a emerging body of very progressive work being done on issues of sustainability and hybrid programming with respect t.o skyscrapers, albeil mostly in England and Germany. Undoubtedly, architect5 and engineers wiJl take stock of the performance of the trade towers and more stringent egress and fire·safet y standards may re sult, although it appears that the towers performed remark- ably well, given the enormity of the impact and resuJting fire. But I cannot imagine that the skyscraper. per se. will emergr from any post -attack review as inhere ntl y unsafe , nor do I think that architects, developers and users will abandon the skyscraper as a legitimate, indeed often times exhilarating, urban building type. Wlult •re: your thoughts on rebuilding on the WTC site1 I think that calls to not build on the site are unrealistic. Some foi'Jll ofbuilding complex will be built on the site, and apparently Larry Silventein, the developer who holds a 99-yearlease'On the site, already has retained architect David Otilds of Skidmore, Owenings and Mmill to work on a scheme involving four 50- York, Paris, London and Tokyo, story towers.

The Public Service Committee, chaired by Robert Shibley, professor of architecture and director of the Urban Design Program, had asked for guidance from the FSEC at the body's Oct. 3 meeting on how the commi tt ee should proceed. Al th6ugh public service is one of UB's missions. Shibley said that many fac ulty members are not willing to pursue such projects because they fed the university lacks methods to <Valuate and offer rewards for such work. Shibley defined public service as "a form of scholar.;hip that includes the generation, transmission, application and preservation of knowledge for the direct benefit of other communities in W3)15 that are oonsistcnt with an academic unit's missioris." Peter Nickerson, professor of pathology and past chair of the Faculty Senate. pointed out that there had been a statement broadening the definitio n of scholarship to in clude public service in a draft revl~io n of the Prt'sident 's Review Board 's policy governing evaluatio n of professional JCadcmiL work .

Why do we need to do anything?" he asked ..Service is one vehicle for this; the strict app lication of scientific method is another, etc., etc. What 's the deal?

I am a UB professor who runs on an almost daily basis. Although I quently is uS<d by UB studrnt>, and OCcasionally compete in master's track meets and road races, I run past few weeks. But on this day, I was dri=t off the track by a rud< and thrClltrning UB potioo officerw!v> rdu5ed toan swcranyof my questions about why th< track was "dosed"-<lespite Lh< fad that. the cast entry to th< track is always wide open. At one point, Lh<officer told me that if! asl<td him any mor< qu<Stions, h< would immediately arrest m<. Th< only information he did give me was that this was th< official policy of th< athletic primarily forth< h<alth b<nefit>. When I visit other· universities, I have always been welcome to use university tracks. For example, like anyone else who wishes to do so, I ca n u~ th~ well -maintained tracks Geo rgetown University in Washington, D.C., or at UCLA in Jl Los Angeles. I do not need a permit , and I do not even need to work or study at these universities to use their facilities. However, I cannot ev~n use the practice track at UB. the university where I teach, without being threat ened, yelled at and dnven away by university poi.Jce. On Wednesday Sept. 12. a little after 6 p.m ., I began a workout at the practice track adjacent to the nt-w student -rcsidence complex. I have noti ced that thi s track fre - 1 have run there several times in the departmerll. a rcfrn:e during an intramural basketball ~and being told that UB would 001 r<placr my n<Wbask.etball after th< sam< refer« caused me to lose Lh< ball--b< thm< it across th< gym during his lmlp<T tantrum and I was unabl< to retrieY< iL Are those th< signs of a uniV<rSity that <ncourages pcopl< to maintain a h<althy lifestyle, or ar< they signs of a university so <ntrmch<d in bu reaucracy that it has lost sight of its mission of service and education? I know that som< dedicat<d and wonderful pcopl< work for the athletic d<partmm~ and I obviously do not wish to condemn everyone associat<d with this large and diverse On< might thinkthisisan isolated but some of my other exp<riences with the UB athletic de- department.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

By definition, PTSD refers to symptoms that have persisted for at least one month after exposure to a trauma. These sy mptom s include such things as intrusive thoughts and dreams about the trawna , avoidance of si tuations that remind one of th e trauma, emotional numbing, diffi c ulty concentrating, tr o ubl e sleeping, feelings of jumpiness, etc. We usu•lly think of - e ..:qulrlng PTSD from senfng In a war.

"It is important to answer this question in a dear and ddinitive fushion before any clinical decisions arc to be made to treat periodontal disease for general health reasons," he said The pilot clinical trial will begin after a nine-month planning and development period.

"Our study is designed to select the periodontal treatment with the best chance of reducing the risk for heart disease." excellent students art seeing a UB education as a tremendous value-and this is exactly ~hat we will continue to stress in our communications with these students and t!J.eir parents," he said. ..

"'We expect that o ur efforts to ·at - tract and sen-e these high-achieving students will result in higher retention and four-year graduation ratr:s in the yean ahead." Although Sullivan· said his oilier bears the ti~e of "enrollment planning," the univenity's recruitment effort "just doesn't happen without the oooperation of the entire univtt<ity."

Ronald Gentile, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Graduate School of Educapon and chair of the Teaching and Learning Committee, said thftt course tvalu· ations haVC' been an issue that his committee has grappled with for some time, noting the ." uneven rtsponses"received from students and the "unclear norms" of the paper evaluations now used across a wide variety of disciplines.

The idea behind the survey, MoUendorf said, was "to try to find out what's on the minds of the fac- ulty with regard to research a"nd creative activity." He noted that the comm 1ttee hired Buffalo Survey and Research Inc. to review the survey for bias and counter a criticism leveled by some adfllinistrators, including Provost Eli,. beth D. Capaldi. Capaldi thanked Mollendorf for his willingness to modify the survey, noting that surveys are very difficult to prepare in order to gather useful, objective information. She ~id the survey would provide .. very useful base rate data, sinct it 's the first y<ar for both me and Jay (Turkkan, vice president for research ) and wt' want to work on all of the issues of concern to the faculty." "It gMs us .a good way to know what's on people's minds," Capaldi said "I think it would be good to use this as a way to measure where we are after awhiJe.-<lid we make progress?'" James Bono, associate professor of history, said he was concerned that a key questior>-what is reoearchisn't aslced at the beginning of lhe survey. "In a university as large and di verse as this., thert arr many diffe:rent conceptions of what research is. what constitutes research , so that whe~~ we begin to frame questions about research, we are very careful that we are going to puJJ in answers from people that identify with the kinds of questions that we ask," Bono said. Cohen instructed the committee, now chai red by John Ho, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Physics, to summariz.e ch e results of the su~y. 1dentif)' the top issues and develop recom men.dations for the senate.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"Americans hiStorically have felt insulated from disasters like this, however: First, because we've never experienred such an attack, and second, because we've alway's thought, despite warnings to theoontrary, that our security apparatus v.uuldn't let anything like this happen." he says.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"Not only are we enroUing greater numbers of studen ts, we're also enroiHng more students who have outstanding academic and professional backgrounds." According to Newman, J65 new students have enrolled in th e school's full-tim< MBA program, an increase of 39 percent from last year. The students hail from 16 countries and four U.S. states. Their average score on the Graduate Management Admissions Test is a very competitive 609. "We truly have become a global busi ness sc hool, which means our students play an important role in educating one another about how business is conducted around the world ," Newman says. The school's Professional (part-time) MBA program, for managers wi th a,t least OftC year of professional experience, has enrolled 63 new students--aO increase of 65 percent from last year. Possessing an average of five years of managerial experience, the students are employed at a host of companies throughout the area, including M&T Bank, Casino Niagara, HSBC, Rich Products, Tops Markets and Computer Task Group.

MBA Japanese program goes online A J•IN'nese language/ culture training program for business ex· ecutives offered by VB has proven so successful that the university has put it onlin e for the fall semester. "E- Business Japa nese." a unique version of the popular " Japanese for Business Executives" co urse, is a 16-week certificate program in which participants acquire basic conversational skiJJs and develop the intercultural competence necessary to in teract confidently and successfull y with Japanese colleagues. · The dassroom version of the program is offered at US on a demand basis and in the past year has trai ned employees of Delphi Automotive Systems; McGard Inc. of Orchard Pa rk, which manufa ctures wheel locks for aut omobiles, and Fujisawa Healthca re Inc., of Gra nd Island, which does business wi th Japanese colleagues in th e U.S. and/or Japan. The progra m was deve loped by the World Languages lmtitute , ... ( WLI ), a ufti t'o f th e Depa rt ment of Modern Languages and Literatures that specializes in language and cultu ral instruction in 12less commonl y taught languages. The \VLI promotes global awareness and inter-cultUral sensitivity and helps local companies become more competitivt> in international mafkets. "The E-Business Japanese prog ram is designed to help partici· pan ts develop practical intercultural and interpersonal skills that they can use when dealing with Japanese peers, particularly in a business setting," says WLI director Mark Ash will. The one-semester course, which began last week, costs 5950 per participant. It will involve 160 hours of coursework and weekly call-in assignments to practice with a native-speaking tutor. 1t also will include five on-campus instructor-led workshops. The class is limited to 20 participants each and students will have the availability of 24-hour, sevendays· a·week online interaction with their classmates and instructor. Ashwill says that the fact that the program is mostly online means it is more nexible and convenient than those held on campus, but no less rigorous. " Participants should be able to work independently, be disciplined and self-motivated, have excellent time-management skills, a strong commitment to their education and a willingness to stay actively involved in the course," be says. · ... We expect to partner with other academic institutions to attract students from various geographic regions," Ashwill says ... like West· ern New York students, distance-learning students would take the course online but we would fly an instructor in to a local learning site to present the on-campus workshop's." The course coordinator and instructor is Kciko Kuriyama, the WU coo rdinator of non-credit japanese programs and a doctoral candidate in linguistics at VB. Kuriyama is a native Japanese· speaker who worked for several yea rs as a stockbroker in a major U.S. securities company. �41 Repoder Sep~emberlJ.ZOOlNui.JUo.J l <: uoos -and - - . dinial IISIOCIIte prclfe9or d physial tlwnpy, . nutrition scionces. b one d 32 N)lerians who wol be inducled W!IO the Notional Multiple Sdtrosls Socloty's .......,_.

In addition, Paley maintains that the missing materials hinder ide.ntification of the various hands lhat produced both the design and its ex· ecution, perhaps even the origin of the sculptors and the principles of Assyrian architecture.

According to Sheridan, Mexican researchers have state-'Of-the-an systems in place at Popoca tcpetl to mo nitor significa nt changes in what has been called the world's most monitored volcano. "What 's been missing is an l'q uall y advanced method of predicting just wh1ch populations acIUally will be in danger." he said. A more accurate map became a c~i tical priorit y, Sheridan said, fol lowing Popocatepetl's increased activit y last winter. "V\'e've constructed these sorts of models aftcor theC\\!Ilt," said Sheridan. "But when )'OU do that, people com· ment that,of oourse, )'OU can oorrectly adjust the parameters after the event But could )'OU do it beforehand? So, from a humanitarian point of view, based on a grid spacingofhundreds of meters, a scale that omitted many important geologic fciuures. Data points now available and obtained from satellite data provided by NASA are separated by only 90 meters, a huge improvement , Sheridan said. He and'Bursik now are working on new data points for Popocatepell and other volcanoes separated by only tens of meters. The improved resolution, however, results in a much larger dataset, making calculation of the Oow paths and visualization of the data more time-consuming and far more de- 1,200 years sincr an eruption that seriously af. fected human habitation and that's what makes it a ~ttle scary," said Sheridan."The volcano could go into a more dangerous phase-at any time." From field studies that include radiocarbon dating of samples taken from the mountain, scientists now know that catastrophic eruptions happen at Popocatepetl about every 1,000 years. The laSt large eruption that affected a population cehter is the one that occurred about 1,200 years ago Sheridan said, and products of that wiped out most of the area now occupied by Pueblo, a city that is only 40 kilometers a""way, and is home to about I million people. Parental training key in coping By llATltLUN WEAVER Reporter Contributor ESEARCHERS at VB's Research Institute on Addictions (RIA} have shown that fartailies ex· hibit improvements in overall func· tioning. and in some cases reduced adolescent substance use, when paren ts receive help and support in coping with their child'ssubstance· abuse problem. Results from a study involving parents from 22 families showed that parents of teenage children who participated in a training program fOcusing on effective parent coping skills re~rted improved handling of problems encountered with their te en, suggesting real · wo rld im · provcment in how parents cope with their teen's substance usc. The parents also reported re· duced depression. anxiety 3nd an ge r, and fewer cO mmuni ca tion problems with their teen. '!'hey also reported reductions in thei r child 's mari juana use. ..Although these preliminary results arc encouraging, they are not ddinitivc,"s.1id Neil B. McGiUicuddy. RIA research sdcntist and principal investigator on the study. The $2.5 million projm to examine interven- R tions for parents of substance-abus· ing teens is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. "We haVe more V~Drk ahead of However. our initia1 results suggest that parents need not give up; there are things parents can do which of· fer hope," he added. McGillicuddy developed the training program-the primary focus of which is reducing the distress of par· ents living with a substance-abusing teen-in collaboration with Robert G. Rychtarik, RIA senior research scientist, co-principaJ investigator on the study and UB research associate professor of psychology and psychiatry.Their premise was that if the parents were taught effective coping skills and if their distress was lowered, then the teen's substance use aJso might be reduced. "Many people believe that parenb are at fault for a teenager's substance abuse." said McGillicuddy. "For instance, some people may thil"lk that poor commun ication or famil y arguments may ca use teen substance usc." "But consider the alternative. II could be that some of these comlitions. such as the poor communi cation or famil y arguments, n.-sult from the teen's usc of drugs or alco- hoi. It also is likely that the teen's substance use is contributing ·to other negative consequences for the parent and the rest of the family." "Often, parents and their adolescent get into a vicious cycle of teen substance""'· followed by ineffective parental efforts to stop it, followed by mo~ teen substance use and so on," McGillicuddy noted. "Parents feel increasingly <!<pressed, anxious and angry at both the adolescent and themsel\'es. Sometimes, this leads some parents to give up trying to do anything. Our research suggests and encourages parents to not give up." McGillicuddy and Rychtarik are conducting a full -scale, follow- up study that involves comparing the skill -training intervention to a 12step program, another commonly employed treatment. In add ition to surveying parents immediately preceding and following th eir partici pation in the 12·week " Parents of Teens Program," a~essmen t s an.· conducted for one year to dct~rmin e the long- term impact of the programs on the family. "At the end of this study, we ho}X' to know more about how parents of su bstance·abusing teem. w n change their own and their fami ly's wellbeing," McGillicuddy added.

Much of the article was detailed. But The Buffalo News also inclutled the foUowing .. real news," which the Report<romitted:"Fifthyear tight end Marvin Brereton had surgery early Friday morning for a ruptUred patella tendon in his left knee and is out for the season. If he elects, Brereton could apply to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. Sophomore tight end Jason Smalarz and junior defensive end Jamie Guerra both suffered concussions. Smalarz is questionable for Bowling Green, while Guerra is dax-to-day and could return to practicr sometime next week. (head coach Jim) Holher said." I wish to skip over the question of extended eliS~bility to concentrate on the complex issue of the variety of costs for Division-! sports. .. Are the costs of injured athletes' medical care absorbed by the universityl Will a_player who suffers an injurybeabletocontinueontuition waiver or some combination of financial waiver and athletic scholarship? Are these policies set by our university or by the NCAA? How many semesters-of continuance do the players get? Do the costs come from state funds or from the UB Foundation? (In the distant past at another university, injured players were dropped from the aid programs, and for many financially disadvantaged players, the policies meant that they had to drop out of college. The athletes felt that they had been used and discarded.) I think that some moderate investiga!Nereportingcouldfindoutabout this university's past, current and future policies. At the ""'Y least, future issues of the 11.tportu sbould include injuries to members of both teams. Apparently the knowledge· and attitude toward concussions is now undergoing change. In the distant past, coaches or assistant coaches used to counsel play;rs to say, when asked "What day is it?" that ~ It ~ Saturday" because then the player could continue-severe injuries seldom happened on practice days. I realize that many earnest adults are in favor of" The Run to Division !,"but I question whether this decision actually is in the university's and the individual studen~s longterm best interesL It would be helpful for the uni"""ity community to learn bow many of our enrolled students actually wnrk for I0 or DlO"' bours per week and, therefore, probably are wnrking while others are "playing." Perhaps some effort ro create a gentrifiCation of the university requires the emphasis on sports. In some future university, people may regard football the way many now regard boxing-as a semi-savage entertainment that actually exacts a heavy toll in human costs.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Posted at all major entrances to the camp u ses, the greeting signs-50me as large as 19 feet tall by 23 feet wide-serve to clearly announce the university's presence. And in keeping with the style of each campus, the signs on th e North Campus boast brick pillars, while those on th e South Campus feature stone. The design, i>y Sasaki Associates of W;ttertown, Mass., is one that members of UB's signage committee found both user-friendl y and collegially elegant.

Pan-Americanism topic of talks m By PATIIJCIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor T HEgliuering Pan-Ameri - can Exposition that was held in the burgeoning city of Buffalo, New York, in 1901 was conceived of as marking a turning point in the history of hemispheric relations. At the tif!1e, this was no smaJJ thing, given that in previous years, the region had seen wars between th e United States and both Mexico and Spain. Unfortunately, the ideal of "pan-Americanism" would continue to be eclipsed by what our geopolitical neighbors saw as the overbea ring U.S. hegemony. As part of its centennial celebration of the exposition, UB on Sept. 13 will sponsor '' Pan-Amcricanisms.: Myths and Realities," an international symposium that wiD look at the myths and realities embodied in the concept ofJan-Americanism. The symposium, sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences and its Department of Modern Lan guage and Literatures, will be .tree of charge and open to the public. Events will b< held at the Karpeles Manuscript library Museum, 453 Porter Ave., Buffalo, or in the Screening Room in the Center for the Arts on the North Campus. Information on lecture times, topics and speake" can be found at <http:/ / wlngs.bufflllo.eclu/ cu/ mll/ panam.pclf>. For additional information contact, the Department of Modem Languages and Lit eratures at645-2191. The symposium will feature preseJltations by widely published historiographer RicudoQuiza-Moreno, . currently a research fellow at the lnstituto de Historia de Cuba in Havana, and Bruce Novoa, professor of Spanish at the University of California at Irvine, who is the author of four books on Chicano ijterature A third speaker, Sara Castro -Klaren , is a noted author and professot of romance languages and literatures at The Johns Hopkins University. They will examine why the nations and the nationless peoples of the Americas arc no closer to a mutual hemispheric understanding than they wero-100 years ago. " It interests us that the 1901 exposition brought to a dose a century multiple national indemarked pendence movements in the Ameri cas, under the sign of a new, ostensibly non-national hegemony by the two American continents," says Margarita Vargas, associate professor of Spanish, chair of the Department of Modern Langu3ges and Literatures and a conference organizer. The questions to b< addressed by the symposium are simple ones, she says. How was the determination of a .. pan-Americas" arrived at in 1901,and what does the term mean today? What political, ideological and mythological work does the modifier 'p<m'? "Is it poSllible," she asks, "thi!l the Americas, in their plurality and singularity, can b< thought about and imagined only within the framework of 'pan'! Under such an inclusive hemispheric inclusiveness, who or what is excluded?" The symposium conveners say that the 1901 Pan-Am was touted as an opportunity to launch an era of peace and progress under a ban- by ner of transcontinental unity. Vargas points out that the political and cultural conditions of the time did not alJow for a serious exchange of ideas about Pan-Americanism itself. The 1901 Latin American discourseon the Americas, which dated to the early 19th century, was fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. course of "Manifest Destiny" and the Anglo-Saxon philosophical pragmatism that propeUed it in the late 19th century. In the 13 years that foUowed the Pan-Am , the U.S. annexed Puerto Rico, declared its unilateral right to intervene in Cuban affairs, encouraged Panama's independence from Colo mbia in order to acquire the Panama Canal rights, declared itself in the "Roosevelt Corollary" to b< the poijceman of the Caribbean, placed the Dominican Republic under a customs receivership, invaded Nicaragua (and occupied it until 1933) and shelled seized parts of the Mexican city of\leracruz because the Mexicans refused to salute the U.S. Bag. "The myths we hold about "panAmericanism" today continue to diverge from transcontinental realities," says Vargas, She noted that most Nortl1 Americans have no idea of the way their southern neighbors view them, nor do they understand the expectations and concernS latin Americans have about the exclusionist economic practiced by the United States. The symposium speakers, all o f whom have written and spoken eloquently to these question s, are among the top scholars in the field of Americanist studies. Human Resource - e s Nas developed a new Web site that is designed to help new employees transition to the university and to Western New York. The Welcome Web site, which was designed by HRS in conjunction with the Personnel Data Transfer Committee and the Institute for Administrative Qufty Improvement, offers new employees such valuable information as how to set up an email account, how to obtain a UB parking hangtag and a UB Card, and details about on and off-campus dining facilities, events, campus child care and gen eral UB information, Roger R.

Neil Yerkey, professor in the school's Department of Library ano Information Studies who will direct the program, said its 36-credithour curriculum emphasizes not only information- technology skills, b ut also competencies in comm unicatio n, team-building, criticalthinking, organizational culture and organizational stra tegy. Yerkey said the degree will prepare or enhance the ability of gradua tes to design or manage informa tion s}'stemS in a wide variety of se ttings. Students will be able to specialize in one of seve ral stud}' tracks: information science, information architeEture, management of information centers, system design and implementation and o rganiza ti onal development.

The UB Environmental Task Force · has gone on record opposing the recent hurried decision to build yet another student housing complex at a site--along the south side of SkinnerMlle Road near the Ellicott Complex~ ina time frame that membersbelievureill-adv.ised. The ETF recently voted to send a statement to Michaei Dupre, director of facilities, with copies to President Greiner, Senior Vice President Wagner and Vice President Black requesting that this project be delayed in order to elicit true campus and community input. This is not a question of whether or not to build more housing. but .a question of rush-to-build decisions that: • Violate campus policies • Deny genuine input from campus and community publics • Destroy pastoral areas of the campus while emulating the worst aspectS of sprawl • Contnbutt to the"uglification" of the campus with all of the resulting quality of life, practical and aesth~tic problems • May be at aoss purposes with contracted design pla nn ing by Stieglitz Snyder Architecture, the firm UB hired to design a plan for housing and support facilities along Lee Road An abridged version of the statement sent by ETF members foUows: As members of UB's Environ- mental Task Force (ETF), we strenuously object to the siting of another student apartment complex along the south side of Skinnersville Road near Ellicott Complex. OUr objections are as follows: • Master planning. New on-campus student housing might best be accomplished through the Lee Road Corridor master-planning process. Incorporating residential units in the Lee Road project wiU increase density and improve the financial viability of campus oommercial de- velopment. The Skinnersville project weakms the Lee Loop proposal.Intertstingly, architects planning the Lee Loop proposal were not informed about SkinnerMlle. • Natural areas. The SkinnerMlle site should be preserved as on( of the last pleasant pastoral spots on caJ)Ipus-.The area to the west of Bizer ~is partiGularly attractive and senes as a wildli(e habitat. Mak: ing the campus more aesthetic and attractive-thus boosting recruitment and ~tion--<an best be accomplished by saving and restoring remaining natural areas. • Sprawl. The selected location is away from the campus anter and will aacerbate the sprawl problem on this campus. UB's Protected Natural Areas Policy states that "the university commits itself to an anti· sprawl policy thaf incorporates considerntion of•.. siting of new buildings within built-upmasofthe campus to create a denser urban core." As "smart growth" campaigns in the wider community have demonstrated. sprawl is a major issue. Sprawling campus ~~ is socially detrimental to the campus community and encourages oncampusdrivingbycampusresidents. • Environmental policies. The decision to proceed with this new~ ­ ment oomplex violates two approved UB environmental policies that the ETFiaborodlongandhard to~ the Campus Protected Natural Areas Policy and the University Facilities Policy and Procedure for Environmental Review and Public Participation. These are sensible policies and we insist they be followed Both of the policies call on the univorsity to conduct a public-participation process. yet a legitimate pUblic-participation process could not occur since the an· nouncement was made only after students and most furulty had left for the summer. A legitimate participation process requires that the university oommunitybeavailable to commml AdditiooaDy,a legitimate process presumes that final dec:ision¥>n wbother to build and on siting cobJd be inftuenced by input gathered 6om the participation proass. This presumption is violated by the apartment plan because these decisions already have been made and groundbreaking may be imminent • Slate regulations. We would like to caution the univorsityabout oompliance with the Slate Environmental Quality Review /v;;t (SEQRA). Not only is the univorsity oblised by state law to oomply with this act, but the approved llniYersity Facilities l'olky and Procedure for Environmental kview and Public Participation states that UB "will make every effort to oomply with the and spirit of (SEQRA) ... • (emphasis added).

Segmentation of projects to reduce environmental review requirements is a violation of SEQRA--= section 61 7.4 (b) (iii)). Moreover, UB policy calls on the univorsity to abide by the "spirit" or inttnt of SEQRA-which is full participation and full environmental review.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The medical school is offering a master's program in publk health ( MPH ), as well a.s a law a nd public health program in conjuOction with the Law School under which recipients wil.l obtain both th~ J.D. a.nd MPH degrees. In addition, the Law School is joi ning with th e School of Informatics to offer a co llabOrative program in legal information· management and analysis th at is o ne of the first programs in the nation with an emphasis on academic law Jibrarianship. Students in this program can obtain both a J.D. a nd an MLS degree. Both the MPH and J.D./MPH programs are being offered through the medical school's Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. The MPH program alms a t training professionals to study and m anage current and e merging com muni ty health issues. "We think this degree program fills a real need in th is region," sa id Dennis Bertram, clinical ass istant professor of socia l and preven tive medicine and program directo r. " People who wan ted an MPH either had to leave the area or forego the degree. "The federal govern ment is placing increasing demands on the states and counties to monito r a nd improve health . The MPH is seen more a ~d more as the basic training to fill the position s needed to do that work,.. he added. St ud ents may choose between two concentrations: hea lth services administ ratio n or epidemiology and biostatistics. The MPH prepares people for responsibilities in several areas crit-i ca l to a commu nity's weiJ-being, including primary prevent io n of disease; monitoring and surveillance of infections, toxic agents and environmental co ntami nants; targeting hard -to- reach populations for clinical services and outreach programs, and educating the public about disease risks and preventive measures. The collaborative program in law and public health, one of seven in the U.S. and the o nly one offered in New York State, is based o n the critical interrelationship berween the delivery of health care services, the protection of public health and the legal system. It focuses on the role of public policy, laws, regUlations and the co urts as tools in formu lating effective public health interventions. Sheila Shulman, adjunct associate professor of law and program di - rettor,said graduates of the J.DJ MPH program will be p...,pared to deal with the complexities of the current legal and h eaJ~h-care systems and to appreciate the expanding sources of co nflict between the individual and the broader community-based health -care needs and interests. Applican ts must combine an a rea of in terest in the law school with an MPH emphasis in eithe r epidemiology and biostatistics, or health services administra tion. T he program in lega l information ~1anagement and :malysis-a collabora tive program of the Law School and the Department of Library and Information Studies in the School of Informatics-offers )o tudcnt s preparation for careers as law libr.1rian~ a nd legal · in· formation professionals. Under the direction of lames Milles, associa te dean of the l...Jw School and di rector of the Law Librar y, the program blcnd'i solid grou nding in the tech niques of lib.r:a ri anship and knowledge m anagem ent with a critical understaridi ng of legal concepts, information resources and services. "While our focus in th.e sho rt term i.s on a ca demic law . librarianship, I believe that the technical and intellectual tnining that is the basis of this program will in the lo ng term prepare the best and brightest law students for careers as future leaders in the legal information profession," said Milles. • Those careers may take them int.o law librarianship, knowledge manageme.n t, legaJ publish ing, or even into new paths that we can' t yn foreset'." OxyContin: Potential for niisuse OxyCOntln, one of the ne-west drugs prescribed for pain, has become a destructive drug of abuse among recreational drug users obtaining it illegally. In iu time-release pill form , OxyContin is safe taken as prescribed. \¥hen abu.sen crush the pill and sniff the powder, they defeat its timerelease function . In this form, the opiod drUg is highly addictive. Jeffrey Lackner, clinical assistant professor of anesthesiology and director of the behavio ral medicine clinic at UB, warns that the potential for abuse also is high among patients receiving the drug legitimately if they are not mon;torrd closely by their physicians. ..

The study, published in a recenl" issue of Ethnicity and Disease, also shows twice the incidence of hypertension and fiv~ times the number of people with hypertension who weren'ttaking their blood-pressure medicine among those who had had an intracerebral hemorrhage compared to healthy, age-matched controls. Alcohol use also was associated with an increase in risk. "African-American patiencs expericncea cwo-fold higherriskofintracerebral hemorrhage compared to white patients," said Adnan L Qureshi, VB assistant professor of neurosurgery and lead author on the study. "In the ab~nce of any definitive treatment for intracerebral hemor; rhage, significant stress needs to be placed on primary prevention and understanding of factors that predispose to a higher risk in young Afri ca n Americans," he said. Internal bleeding. also known as in- tracer<bral h<morrl1at!e (ICH), occurs in about 20 out of I 00,000 people, stlltistia show, and can affectanypmon ~of •~~<.sex or race. but appears to occur morr frequently in African ·Americans. The incidena: of intracerebral hemorrhage in African Americans reaches nearly 50 out of 100,000 pmons. Qureshi noted. Since there is no effective treatment for ICH,prevention takesO!Jlter stage, but little information has been available on the factors that put this population at higher risk. This study is the first to use a casecontrol approach to tease out these risks. It assessed health and lifestyle histories of 122 African Americans between the ages of 18 and 45 admitted to a public hospital in Atlanta with ICH between Dec. 31, 1997, and Jan. I , 1990. This data was compared with that from 366 African Americans in the same age group without the condition who took pan in the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES Ill ). Researchen included data on hypertension, diabetes, smoking, cocaine usc, alcohol use and stroke or heart disease from all participants. as well as the record of prescriptions for hypertension medication and compliance with their usc. Results showed then cocaine usc was the strongest risk factor associ•ted with ICH in this population, There be p1en<y ~on besides~ loocbal at UB~ hcmo cpene.pnst IWqon u.w-slty tonl&t< In U8 Sadkm.!Wqon' ,;,;. ... be <he fint- even higher than hypertension, Qureshi said. "While the medw1ism for this assOciation isn't clear, we ,_. Bulblo _ . b y . suspect that the sudden elevation in blood pr<ss~m that occun immediately,after !'Sing cocaine may cause an existing aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the brain to rupture." HypertensifJn, particularly in those who had been prescribed medication but took it irregularly, also was shown to be an important high-risk factor for ICH. · "'Ln chronic hypertension, the body develops a certain proi<Ctive response in an effort to counter high bloo<f pressure's effects,• he said. Ta'king blood-presswe medication intermittently may impair the development of this response and may make patients more vulnerable to ( blood presswe fluctuations." The bottom line, Qureshi said, is that a reduction in the high rate of death and disability associated with intracerebral hemorrhage can't occur without dla:tive pmomtive measures. "T~~udy demonstrated the presake of factors in the communiry that easily can be modified to reduce this risk. These include avoidancr of Cocaine usc and regular use of blood pressure medication as preseribed." Labor law conceutl:atiOit..added IIY JENNIRII UWAHOOWSIU Report~ Assistant Editor T HElawSchoolhasadded a new concentratio n in labor and employment law to its curriculum for th.c fall semester in response to increased demand in the job market for lawyer.; who are knowledgeable in this burgeoning field. "Numerous employment and la bor I jobs exist today that didn't before.lt is a rapidly growing field," said Dianne Avery, professor and vice dean for academic affairs in the Law School and coordinator of the new concentration. The continued maturing of civil rights laws over the past few decades has contributed to the eme~gence of increased individual rights, Avery sa id. Beginning in the l970s, em ployees began to bring wrongful discharge lawsuits based on novel public-policy grounds. A spate of lawsuits filed during th e 1980s by• middJe managers who had been "downsized" also helped stimulate the field of employment law. Federal laws have expanded employee rights as well, and now prohibit sexual harassment and discrimination on the basis of disabiliry. Avery, an expert in the area of employment discrimination, said students who graduate with a con· ~tration in labor and employment law are exceptionally well prepared when they hit the job market. They could work for government agen cies, nongovernmental associations, in private practice, for labor unions or as in-house counsel, bringing ex-. pertise in such areas as employment discrimination law, public or private coUective-bargaining law, rights of individual employees, employee benefits, sports and entertainment law, or workers' compensation law. "They have a level of undentanding and expertise that geneFalists simply don't have," Avery said. Up- per-division law studeniS who opt to take the new concentration can select from a myn;d of choices for electives. ranging from civil rights. civil liberties and discrimination law, to American labor history and public-sector collective bargaining. Although punuing a co_ncentration is not mandatory, Avery said UB law studencs who choose that path-whether or not th ey ulti mately commit to that specific area of law for their career-have "an edge in that they have learned a particular field in depth." The ski!~ students acquire. she said, are "transferable to other fields." The concentration compo nent "has long been recognized oucside of UB as a strength of our curricu lum," she said_"It helps students find their niche." The labor and employment law concentration is one of nearly a dozen concent·rations offered by the Law SchooL Obituaries Joseph Shister, former chair of industrial re~ations A memorial service was held Aug. 10 in Boca Raton , Aa., for Joseph Shisler, a UB professor of economics and labor relations for more than 30 yean who died Aug. 7 in his home after a lengthy illness.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

It eliminates pain, allows the mother to remain awake !'"d has no effect on the newborn. Whether a laboring woman receives an epidural or other pain control, however, depends on her insuranoe type, a UB study has found. Results of the study, appearing in the May issue of Journal of Health Ca.-. for the Poor and Urrderserved, show that women who are residents of New York State and covered by Medicaid are Jess than half as likely to receive ·an epidural for vaginal delivery than moth<t"ll with HMO or private coverage. Further, Medicaid recipients undergoing cesarean section were twice as likely as mothers with HMO or. private coverage to receive general anesthesia, which renders the mother unconsciow and increases the risk of adverse effects on the mother and her baby. "'The study provides evidence of differences across New York State in the availability of obstetrical pain control which, until now, have not been well measured," said Thomas E. Obst, director of the Nurst Ancsthesia Program in the School of Nursing, and lead author. on the study. "Furthermore, the study points to the need for a national assessment of the availability of pain control options for obstetrical patients." The study's finding< are based on ~ rcviewofreoordsfor 121,351 women whO gave birth in 1992 in upstate New York, which excludes New York City. The researcher.; also excluded mul tiple births, foro:ps births and reoords from hosPitals reporting fewer than six Jive births in 1992. Of the total women in the study, all but I percent had insuranre: 51 percent had private coverage, 28 percent Medicaid, 20 percent managed care and the remaining were characterized as self-pay. Sevent y-five percent had vaginal deliV<ries (exeluding forceps) and 81 percent re ccived some type of anesthesia. R<sultsshowedconsiderablev-.uiation among women with vaginal de- liveries in the use of either no anesthcsia or epidural anesthesia, based on the type of insuranc<. During vaginal delivery, 18 percent of women with HMO ooverage and 21 percent with private insurance received an epidu· raJ, oompared to about 9 percent of Medi<aid mothers.

While the type of insurance had the most significant bearing on the type of anesthesia women received, ethnicity also appeared significant, Obst said. Results showed that Caucasian mothers were more likely to receive an epid ural for vaginal delivery and either a spinal or epiduraJ for cesarean delivery than Afria m-American moth ers.

You ask people in government how much they're spending in a particular area, -.nd the joke is, •oo you want a big number or a small number?" It depends on how you look at it. When you say sponsored research, does that mean how much you're awarded? .How much you're expending? Government works on an award model and academia works on an expenditur~ model. 'Do you want to know how many awards? Or do you want to know only at UB or, for example, UB faculty also working at Roswell , or in cluding those at the affiliated hospitals? It's complex.

Some people bave said to me, "Why do you keep empbasizinggrantsl"I hope that's really not the message. The message isn't about getting grants so much as getting back into a mode that you might remember from childhood-that you're curious about the world. And that scientific curiosity is what drives you to write the grants and to get the money. That's why we got into this business to begin with. I want to reinstili that sense of curiosity. And by the way, you can't satisfy your curiosity on a significant or national level unless you get a grant. �April28. 21111/Yi. 3t lt.29 FSEC mulls representation Committee postpones action on issue of25 percent cap 11\'..-~ ~.,AsslruntEdltor that disappoinled - . 1 faculty IDI!lDbm anxious to set the ball rolling in reexamining representation on the Faculty Senate-with regard both to allocation ofsenate seats and equity among electoral units-the I N a mOY< Faculty Senate ~Committee vot<d at its April IS meeting to postpone submittinganypropooal on the issue to the Bylaws Commit!«.

The nwnber of voting faculty cwrently totals 1,759,accordingtost.ailsticsprovided by Hwnan Rtsowce Services. At issUe, according to Judith Hopkins, technical services research and analysis officer in central technical services of University Libraries and chair of the Bylaws Committee, is the fact that while the charter af. fords no electoral unit more than 25 percent of the senate seats, the , ' ( \ charter's formula for achieving that end "assumes there is only one large dectoral unit, and in fact, we now have two"-the School of Medicine d Biomedical Sciences and the College ofArts and Sciences. So while e medical school, with 704 faculty, IS capped at 25 percent of the senat< seats, the cwrent formula permits the CAS, with 440 faculty members, to exceed the 25 percent quota. Hopkins appealed to the tive conunittee to first determine hoWt to allocate senators for the 200 l-02 academic year and second, =- to offer its susgations on bow to rewrite the charter to "deal with muJtiplt, ~electoral units in a that is equitable to all units." This would be the fint re-apportioDID<Dt sincr the charter was revised in 1995. Hopkins explained that Wider a formula provided by JamesFaran,aosociate professor of mathematics, all electoral units would be capped at 25 percen~ with a senate of 100 members.

Chaudhary, De- Gottdiener explores ((Life in the Air" By JEHNIRII LEWANDOWSKI Report~ Assistant Editor lR travel today could be considered as much a necessary evil as it is a necessity. With nearly 700 million passengers Oying domcsticalJy each year, the airport has btcome a world unto itself, and a turbulent one at that---ovmlowing not only with people, but a host of problems resulting from the demand for air travel that has transformed the once-convenient rnodt of transportation into a quagmire of inconvenience. "Life in the Air: Surviving the New Culture of Air Travel," the latest book by Mark Gottdiener, professorofsociology,exploresthebevy of issues invading airport.s--<md air space--today, from overcrowding and abusive passengers, to delays, cancellations and how travelers spend inordinately long periods of Lime while waiting to make their A next connection. Gottdiener, whose research deals largely with urban development and rultural studies, blends the two to view air t:ravd in a previously unexplored contat: as an emerging social wodd in which human behavior is governed by its immediate SWTOW1<!ings. Airports, heoontends,nowmverymudl like cities, promulgating their own rultural identity both on the ground and in the air. "The sheer fact that people are spending so much oftbeirtimein the air .. .defines a new kind of environment in which people IM," he says. "Air traYel has become a necessity of people's lives. But at the same time, the system has been strained to the limiL As a ronsequence,air traYel has become increasingly inronvenienL" The book-which explores the airport as a new space, the experiences and behavior of air travelers, the industry's function and <¥func· tion, and the eoonomic and political partment at Chemistry, "Green Chemistry: An Environmentally Contributing Editor .,.Kiur, second priZe ~at .pvtl, Slrudurol.ondfrwllan. mental EnglriBng.

In January 1999, the industry experienced perhaps its worst shutdown ..erwhen inclement we~ther crippled a nwnber of major ports. Passengers idled on runways for upwards of 10 houn without food or water, whiktbose"ludcy" enough to be inside an airport were relegated to wai~ with 119when else to go, for countless hours-in some cases, days. Gottdiener says this "outrage," more than any other, was responsible for Congress drafting an Airline Passenger Bill of Rights. Gottdiener, himself a frequent flyer racking up more than I 00,000 miles of air travel each year, unearthed a wealth of information about how people rope with jetlag and manage meals, whether they suffer any health problems from ex- to taU flight-with no slowdown on the horizon. And while Gottdiener says air travelers remain at the mercy--both ofairport architects to create a sense ofplacrwithinatransientrealmand the airline industry to inspire pleasurable experiences in flightpeople are the decisive factor.

T HE Law School is rapidly earning a national repu· tation for its program in affordable-housing and comm unity-development law. "Since 1987, our faculty and stu· dents have been instrumental in pannering$75 million in public and private funds with agencies and de· velopers who build or rehab hous· ing for the elderly, the disabled and working poor families," said George M. Hezel,director of the law school's Affordable Housing Clinic. · The clinic's faculty and students use legal tools at their disposal to link funding sources and private and public agencies. As a result of their efforts, which are primarily oriented to learning and teaching law, at least 1,000 housing units exist today in the rommunity that otherwise would not hav. been available. And more are in the planning stages. "A~ apartment romplex.s, townhouses, row-houses and singlefamily dwdlin&' bav. either been built or carved out from out-dated housing projects or residences of religious orders who came to Buf· falo at the tum of the 19th century to serve waves of European immi· grants." Hezel explained. The projects have been accomplished working with oommunity partners such as the Diocese of Buffalo, the Franciscan and Jesuit or· ders,Poli.sbCommunityCenterand Delta Development 'ofWestem New York, a not-for-profit developer. They have induded Elliron Town Center, a oompla oftownhouses and apartments at Michigan and Clinton streets; a tidy row of townhouses on Buffalo's East Side that is a haven for abused spouses and their children; SL Ann's Apartments at the oorner of EmslieStreetand Broadway, a former Jesuit residence that n0w accommodates 19 affordable apartments and earned a prestigious State Historic Preservation Award, and Francis John Apartments, 62 units at Broadway and Memorial Drive located in two large building< that previously housed a major furniture store. Clinic students learn the legal techniques and strategies involved from start to finish. "They begin with the design and analysis of feasibility studies that identify the type and location for housing needed most, do a cost analysis, write the proposal, apply for funding and oversee the finished proposal through operation and sale," Hezd noted The second- and third-year law students in the dink also must rompie)< I 5 credits of related oourscs.

Students also are required to write a paper, which may be preoented at seminan or clinics and often are published in the Ameri.can Bar Association's fourrrm of A/[on:l4ble Housing and Community Development, housed at the UB Law School.

Forty-two percent of women mur· dered every )"3f are killed by members of lhcit bouscholds. VICtims also indudt cbildrcn, the disabled, the e!d· erlyand"""' rnen-people)OO know and may """' know ,..,u, acoording F to attorney Suzannt E. Tomkins, director of the Family Violence Law Oinic in the UB Law School. A!; brutal as family violence often is, Tomkins says dOmestic abuse is a "private crime"-a "secret" kept by the families who will usually expend a lot of effort to keep it private. Tomkins, clinical inStructor in the Law School, wanted to offer safe passage to those trying to escape violent homes and to those who aren't ready to leave but want to minimize the effect of violence in their lives. So she created a Web site called R<· sponse to Violence <http:/ /vlolenc•response.net> that aids victims directly and helps service providers in Western New York coordi· nate services and commltJlicate more effectively with one another. The Web site is a public service of UB and pan of UB's Western New York Regional Information Network . (WNYRIN), a directory of publicservice agencies, infonnation on gov· ernance and links to regional datll that is a program of the Institute for Local G.o vernancc and Regional Growth. The Response to Violence sitewasdesignedbyOliviaArditi,opcrations director ofWNYRIN. The purpose of the site is to assist users in obtaining aJJ kinds of help in abso1 ute privacy. It even gives helps coordinate other services m. them specific instructions so they can reduce the chance that the perpetrator can trace their"travels" over the Internet. The site provides information about 24-hour hotlines, emergency medical services, emergency shelters,supportgroups,counselingservices, legal services and advocacy groups sponsored by dozens of service agencies, churches, hospitals and_police departments in the eight counties of Western New York. The site· also maintains a com· munity calendar listing workshops and conferences on domestic vio· lence. It links to more than 30agcncies running p=-ention programs and can a5$ist individuals who want to volunteer their time to one of the many groups that offer services. Arditi says the site, funding for which was secured by state ~n. Mary Lou Rath, was developed in an effort to facilitate rom.munica· tion among agencies. increase the visibility of their work to victims of domestic violence and provide for these persons a one-stop site for information, suppon and assistance. Tomkins adds that because fam . ily violence has an impact on many areas of life, recovery may involve different kinds of help--job train ing, counseling for children, famil y therapy, legal advice and financial or housing assistance, to name a few. She said the team now is developing a search engine that will allow user1i to search by county, service required, age and sex of the victim and other criteria so they can gain access to the information and services n<eded more quickly and easily. They also are making presentations to agencies to make them familiar with the Web site so they use it efficiently. "I think that ·heightened awareness of this problem has led to tremendous changes over the last 20 ytarS, and especially in the last I 0 ytarS, that benefit Yictims of domestic violence," says Tomkins. "State and federal laws have been rewritten and today we s« much more interdisciplinary organizing. Police departments now work with domestic-violenu advocates and service providers cooperate to help penple get the many services they need in these situations." The problem remains a very serious one, however. A 1997 report of the U.S. Surgeon General points out that the debilitating results ofdomestic violence can be seen in decreased productivity, increased medical oosts, increasn;g loads on the courts and criminal justice system, the need for more police work and lost work bows. The Family VIOlence Law Oinic has worked on this problem with agencies throughout the region for the past decade and has developed resource guides for several WNY counties. Tomkins says that when she learned about WNYRIN, she realized that immediate access to information and services related to domestic violence could be offered to a much larger audience. "Public edut;~tion is a very important tool in attllcking the problem," she says. "and the Response to Violence Web site is an excellent opportwtity to inform families directly and help professionals learn more about one another by cornrnuhicating and sharing information about events, training and educational opportunities of concern to all of us." 1 5 Welcome to the 19th Centuryc:l Nineteenth-century sources .,.. gradua!Jy migrating to the Web and BISON <http:/ / ubllb.buffMC>.eclu>, the Libraries' Web site provides the perfect conduit to the pasL For example, HarpWeek <http:/ I u b II b . buff •lo . ed u I If b r • rl e s/ unIts I I m II e - re sou rce'J I hiWJ>Weell.html>, a digitized version of Harper's Weekly recently has been added.

He taught high school biology in Houston after gnduating &om the UniYersity of Texas and in 1956 rec:eiv<d his docrora~ in sociology from Th1aoe University in 1956. He joined the UB faculty in 1958 after a short ~rm at the \Jniversity of Thlsa and a year of postdo ctoral work at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He retired in 1996, but continued his relationship with the university by teaching parttime at UB until his-death. Powdl frequently was asked roaddress off-campus civic, political, academic and religious organizations on some of the moot oontroY<rSial issues of the day. He encouraged the public, as he did his students, to attend to compla IOCiaJ and political issues and ro speak directly ro local, sta~ and federal gcMmm<Dts, legislaron and the UB administration thmugh letttn, public protest and civil disobedience, if necessary.

He alao was a well-known supporter of the VldDam peace II10IIO!Irimt who led an aU-nisin UB teach-in on the VldOam War as early as 1964 and cOntinued to protest the war until it ended. He was a member of the BUffalo Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and other orgaoizotions caDins for tht enforcement of civil and human Jisbtslaws here and abroad. Like other protesters of the era, Powell was being "officially" watched. In 1976, he sued the Buffalo police department after repeatedly being denied access ro files he claimed had been kept on him after he opened his home on jewett Parkway to war protaten in 1971.

In 1982,Powdl wis arrested along with dozens of UB students, over a refusal ro end a controversial sit-in in Squm Hall-formerly Norton Hall--<>n the South Campus. Powdl had led a much-publidud "citizen's assembly" ro protest the UB administration's closing of Squire, the university's student union for 20 years. He spent 12 days in the Wende Correctional Facility for his trouble. The sit-in, which orisinaiiY involved 60 students, even tuaUy involved more than 400 protesters. Squire HaU was dosed as scheduled and a secoml, fully functioning student union was erected on the North Campus ill 1992. His affection for pubtic protat was still intact in 1996, when he participa~ in a Student Associationsponsored "classroom walkout" that tumedinroUB's laJpstudentprotat on campus in 10 y<ars.

Playwright Lionel Abel, emeritus professor of English FunaaiS<rVia:swere held in New York atY Sunday for Uonol Abel, emerituspr<>kssorin the DeportroentofFnglish and nationaUy regarded play" right, drama critic and translaror. Abel died April 19 in New York. Hewas90. A noteworthy, if cantankerous, scholar and author, Abel fn,quently is ci~ in the 'literary company of Delmore Schwartz, Meyer Schapiro, Clement Greenberg. Robert Lowdl, Randall )and!, Uonel1lilling. )ames Agee, Mary McCarthy, Hannah An:ndt and Elizabeth Hardwick. He joined the UB faculty in 1967 and retired in 1979. He earlier waS a visiting professor of drama at Columbia UniYelsity,Rutp llnMnity and UB, and a visiting professor of aestheti<s at the Pratt Institute. AmonsA.bel's best-known works of scholarship are "Metatheatre: A New V~tw of Dramatic Form" (Hill &Wani 1963),acollectionofhisessays and addresses, and his compilation, "Moderns on 1\-asedy: An Anthology of Modern and Rdevant Opinions on the Substance and Meaningoffiasedy" (Fawcrtt, 1967). Leslie Fiedler, emeritus professor of EnsJish, knew Abel before and after his tenure at UB. " AI; a scholar, Lionel preferred recent drama, that is. 20th century drama. He was a playwright, but was more successful as a theater critic," Fitdler says. ...He was a_man of many fascinating ideas, but was not very diplomatic in his way of selling them. His way of dealing with people was to put them down. He was very sure of himself. He sometimes~ with great assurance about things he had never read," he says. "Nothing got in his way. Lionel was a difficult cusronfer. " He was interested in literature in French, but also American and EnsJish work. For a long time, he was a completely independent intellectual who stayed out of universities because he distrusted them. He refused jobs at other universities, perhaps on the grounds that he wouldn't belong ro any dub that would have him," Fiedler says. "He did not become widely known, but was vt:ry influential among those who did know him," he adds. "He's a man I would tike to have in the department with me. I worked very hard to get him here and was glad I did. Of coune, the firs! thing he dld when he got here was inrult me." Miles Slatin, emeritus professor of English, agrees that Abel "had a reputation as a very rough customer. He liked ro fight He believtd in the value of intellectual argument "In thela~'60sorearly '70s, when a faculty member wrote a paper. we would have a meeting at which he or she would read the paper; Slatin recalls "At one meeting. Angus Fletcher, a very distinguished Renaissance scholar who's now at Columbia, read his new work. A5 he read, Lionel sat hack beaming and beaming. and listening and listming. "When Angus sat down, Lionel stood up and rore the paper apart. A5 he did, Angus sat there beaming and beaming and then got up and tore Lionel's arguments apart. A5 Angus spoke. Lionel sat there"heaming and beaming ... they went on and on, for the sheer pleasure of arguing. I always tfiought of it as an =mple ofwhattheintellectualenterprise should he." Abel's plays included "The Death -of Odysseus," lint produced in New York's Amato Theatre in 1953; "Absalom, "lim produced in New York at Artist's Theatre in 1956; "The Pi-etender, • lint produced in New YorkatCherry Lane Theatre in 1960, and "The WIVes, • lint produced in New York in 1965. His plays were anthologized by )ames Laughlin for New Directions in 1956 and by Herbert Machiz for Grove in 1960. "In his last years here, it was for me to deal with him," Fiedler says. .. Lionel had been a Marxist, but moved to the political far right and said a lot of things that made no sense at all I must say, though, that talking ro Lionel when he was being irrational was bener than talking to most people who weren't "I guess I would conclude by saying that it'seasytosaybad thing5ahout him, but much more in~g are the good thing. that are hard to say~ Rap a....._ ~a~e~all UII~Josinastreak UBputtop<llera,......weoit,.,.. 3-2 ond onappirc ia I 0-pne ~---~~~ 11-7wlnat Nlapra U> bepllhe --The - poundodou<aoeasonhlaf> 19hits aplnlt lho Putplo Eacles- . ! h e win brill one, ulhe Bolo drq>ped a 23- streak-. 1 3 - ... _..Ohio ~ FTiday - . - .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Ambitious building plan on the table m Projects being considered would boost student quality of life on the North Campus By JENNIFER UWAHDOWSIU Reporter Assistant Editor · Hll.E n"new studtot housing is slated forconstruc·tion at UB in the coming academic year, there is an ambitious building plan on the notso-distant horizon---<>ne that would build on the relatively untouched stretch of land along Lee Road between John James Audubon Parkway and the Student Union and could take as long as a decade to materialize in full. A student service; building, a recreation center-akin to a commer· cial health dub----imd a new student health center that would serve as the univmity's primary health-care facility all are being considered, says Oifford B.

"We really do want a lot of input from the campus community with regard to what we build," said Wilson, adding that public hearings on the development are being planned furthefaa ' As part of that plan, the university is considering the possibility of extending Lee Road straight thmugh to the Ellicott Complex in order to "im- pro\101cin:ulation ... and begin to connect Ellicott more to the campus," said Wilson. He noted that the architecture firm also will look at the logistics of the surmunding infrastructure with an eye to impro.;.u,g parking for The Commons and reconfiguring roads, while also providing for the possibility that development could extend into the Jarvis Hall parking lots adjacent to Lee. An cndosed walkwdy to accommodate pedestrian traffic between Ellicott and the spine also may figure in. The plan , once consensus 1s reached as to how to proceed, could take between five and 10 years to build up, and will be a "significant" expense to the university, Wilson said. As for environmental irnpae1 to the land, which Wilson said al ways has been in UB's developmenl sights, the university has been working with the Environmental Task Force on the issue. And while the North Campu> IS in the midst of a building boom, the South Campus also is gerting its due. A BulfuJo firm has been hired Jo redevelop the high-rise residential Goodyear Hall, transforming the roughly 500-bed facility into apartment -style housing. Aynn Battaglia Architects PC, which. Wilson said. brought forth the "m= interesung and original co~cept," should have a full-blown design ready by January 2002, with construction beginning in the 2002-03 academic year. The refurbishing will reduce oa:upancy from 500 to between 300 and 350, he said, but will significantly upgrade the quality oPliving there. As well, WLlson said the university has considered constructing new apartments on that campus. between Goodyear and Clement c-tfnued - ,.-ve 2 Institute to assist non-profit agencies By CHRJrnN£ VIDAL .}leporter Contributor U B is bolstering its ties with the community with the formation of an institute that will strengthen the planning and management skills of local not-forprofit agencies. Funded by a grant of S 190,000 from The John R. Oishei Foundation, the UB Institute for Non-Profit Agencies will work with the management oflocal health and human-service agencies to train and certify executives, manager. and staff in program planning, development. management, supervision and evaJuation. A joint effort by the UB schools of Social Work and Managemenl, the institute also will provide individualized consultation services to selected agencies. TJ:ie goal is to provide human-service agency =cutives and their staff with the management skills needed to successfully meet the needs of their ·clients, sa id Lawrence Shulman, dean of the School of Social Work. "Agencies are facing increasing demands to fulliU their missions, but don't always have the infrastructure or rece ive- th e resources," sa id Shulman. "Ail rlot -for-profits are feeling stress, no t just the small. comrnun iry-based ones." The Institute for Nonprofit Agencies will serve as a consulting. train· ing and certificat ion resource to match health and human-s<rvice organizations with the expertise of UB's social work and managen>ent faculty. It will provide training, technical assistance and certification in areas such as program planning, develop- ment and evaluation: fiscal management: management and supervision skills; grant writing, and the use of the computer for management functions. .. Because of the selfless nature of their work, not-for-profit agencies sometimes get ovcrlooked in discussions about which sectors of our economy should be targeted for developmen t," said Lewis Mandell . dean of the UB School of Management. "By supporting the continued success of vital, well-managed agenCies, we will help to enhance and preserve the high quality of life en JO)'<d in Western New. York.'' "We were particular!)' happ)' to see the collaboration bcrween the university and community groups,"' said Thomas E. Baker, executive director of The John R. Oishei Foundation... We believe much more cdn be accomplished when more hdnds and heads are involved." The institute will work \\,th Its panners, the Not for Profit Resource Center of the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County and the CEO Insti tute of the Agency Executives Assoaation, to identify 15 agencies to pdrticipate in the first year of the prolt"l1. lnsutute staff, as weU as UB fa..ultyand graduate students from tht.> schools of Social Work and M•n•g,ment, will work with funding agcn · cies to design a service plan for eJLh organization and provide mdl\"Jdu· ali.zcd service!. both on- and otl-,lh.· The institute will begm '"'trul uon in the fall wnh d 1.2 · ~\' l~ d, (:Oursc, "Program Plannmg, lkvd opment, Management and EvaluJ tion for Non -Profits,"' fore.'«''..uttvc-. or senior managers of the local .tgen cies selected to p.utic.ipatc m lht• �BRIEFLY 'Wodllhlp tDfllaaon ~~ ~ -IOIIIIC palc:y .

Study looks at stockbroker.bias lly JOHN D£UA CONTIIADA Reporter Contributor ' new study by a UB finance professor bas unoovered a panem of bebavior among financial analysts that suggests that their stock ~mmendations often conform to expectations of what will sell, rather than what stocks will provide better returns to investors. Consequently, many financial analysts beoome tk facto marketing agents for stockbrokers, arming them with stock reoomlnendations that will be attractive to individual A more easily sell those stocks to investors who erroneously associate a finn's name recognition with its ability to generate high stock returns, even though lesser-known, un-rated companies typically provide higher returns. In his study, Chung analyzed S&P's stock rating data &om 198596 and comp=d them to the number of analysts who followed each investors, but less likely to provide high returns, says researcher Kee Chung, M&T Bank Professor of Finance in the School of Management The results of the study, Chung says, support the belief that financial analysts and stockbrokers often makerecoOllllelldations based on their own incrntives rather than the best interests of investors. "Exactly what motivates analysts to follOw the stocks of certain companies is not often clear; says Chung. "Thisstudyundmoores a poss~bleconllicl'ofint<=t between analysts/brokers and investors. It sug. gests that analysts should be viewed as working alongside brokers as part of a brokerage firm's marketing team." Chung theorizes that analysts have incentive to regularly follow better-known, high-quality firms..as defined by a firm's Standard and Poor ratin~use brokers can company, according to data compiled by the Institutional Brokers Estimate System (JIBIFJS) oontaining analysts' forecasts of corporate earnings collected &om approximately 400 leading brokerage finns. He found that S&P-rated stocks were followed by more analysts than were un-rated stocks, and highly rated S&P stocks wert followed by more analysts than poorly rat<d S&P stocks. Moreover, he found a significant increase in analyst following when S&P upgraded a stock, and a significant decrease in analyst following when S&P downgraded a stock. The findings, when added to existing research showing that brokers recommend buying versus selling of S&Pstocksata4-to-l ratio,areevidence of an S&P bias among analysts/brokers that could be a disservice to investors, Chung says. He believes that brokers push S&P stocks more often not o'hly because they are more sellable, but also because it's less likely that clients will sue if the stocks produce 1= " It's easier for analysts to demonstrate fiduciary responsibility after recommending S&P stocks," Chung says. "S&P stocks give analysts a built-in =use if they fail," he adds. "Analysts can point to a stock's high rating and say that the marlcet was to blame, not the analyst, if a stock performs poorly. That argument doesn't bold up as well ifan un-rat<d stock performs poorly~ Based on his findings, Chung cautions investors to be wary of the marketing bias of financial analysts/brokers and suggests that investors oonsider looking beyond the betterknown oompanies when researching or oonsideriog stock investments. "To the extent that stocks of higher-quality companies offer inferior returns to those oflow-quality companies, it is imPQrtant for investors to guard against the ten dency of analysts/brokers to promote stocks of higher-quality companies," be concludes. Chung's results were published recently in FiruJnciol MnruJgement, the journal of the Financial Management Association International ll:apoa._ 13 m UB to offer doctoral program in Library and Information Studies The School of lnf-'loft Studies will ppcn a new avenue for doctor.ol study in library science in the fall· 200 I semester.

Rq>Ort<r Assistant Editor A i e Recreating.San Francisco's earthquake UB seismologists simulate aspects ofdestructive ground motion from 1906 temblor By EUJ:N GOlDBAUM ·Reporter Contributor N EARLY a century after the g~<aii906San Francisco earthquake, Uni- vmity at Buffalo ..W· neering seismologists have recreated ror the first time some aspects or its most destructiv. ground motions. The research is being presented today, on the 95th annivenaryofthe quake, which measured about7.8 on the Richter scale, at the annual meeting or the Seismological Society or America. The 1906 event, which triggered the devastating San Francisco fire, was responsible for killing more than 3,000 people, destroying 28,000 buildings and making about 225,000 or the city's 400,000 residents homeless. "The 1906 earthquake is generally seen as the.first large seismic event in the world that was documented with seismic, geologic and geodetic data," said George P. Mavroeidis, a doctoral candidate in the Department orCivil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in the UB School or Engineering and Applied Scion=. who presented the n:sean:h. "'However, since there were no instruments in the vicinity to record the ground motions, only qualitative approaches have been applied tO estimating ground motion mag- nitude," he said.

Survey sheds light on direction both research tools may be headed By~liw-SIU R<porttl' Assistant Editor ITH Internet growth on the rise, the way people arc g;.thering infOrmation is shifting away from visiting the local public library. The overwhelming pace at which tb< lntmJ<t is inliltrating the consciousness at large has gM:n way to coocrm about how, and it; public libraries fit in. While many Internet serviC.. and resources appear to compete with thosoo traditionally offered by public libraries-information gJcaned from survey reslllts presented this ,_ by UB faculty in tb< award-winning research paper, "lmpoctsoftb< Internet on PubHc Library Use"~ good news is that Internet use now appears to co-exist comfortably alongside public bbrary use. And while it also sccms,fornow,thattb<publiclibrary will be able to hold its own in tb< "information franchise" marl<el, it most likely will have to build on its strengths as a community institution and adjust its services as consumer preferences change. George D'Eiia, professor and director oftb< c<nter for Applied Research in Library and Information Science at UB, has been conducting rescarth on public library services for more than 20 years. For D'Flia, the principal irMstigatoron the paperwhich recei.ed the Bohdan Wynar Research Paper of the Year Award at the 2001 Annual Conference of the Association for Library and Information Science Education in Washington, D.C.-the opportunity to conduct a national survey examining public bbrary and. Internet usc was a natural outgrowth of ongoing research in the field "For years now we have been asking. both in our professional press and discussions with public libraries, • the persistent question of what is the role of the public library now that we have the lntcmet,"be said. And while the question seems obvious, D'Flia said he and the paper's co-authors could find no published evidence of the relationship between the two. W D' Eiia, along with Cori_nne JOrgensen, UB associate professor of library and information studies, Eleanor Jo Rodger, president of the Urban Libraries Council, and Joseph Woelfel, UB professor of communication, oonducted a landmark random telephone survey of 3,097 adults in March and April of last yeac Funded by a grant from the lnstitu2 for Museum and ubrary Services, the results of that survey, carried out by Goldhabcr Research Associates, have helped shed light on tb< direction in which trends in both lntmJ<t and public library usc are headed, as well as the future of the institution of the public library. D'Eiia, who was recruited by UB in 1995 from the University of Minnesota's School of Management, said consumers wield the greatest influence. "It's the marl<ttplace that's going to decide where to go for infOrmation, and what criteria it will use to evaluate information," he said "For some people, the accuracy, the reli ability, is par.amount. For som e people, ease of access is paramount." The public library's "information franchise"--<1 phrase coined by the investig;.tors-is what's at risk; D'Eiia said. Despi"' the fact that public libraries offer a multitude of services beyood warehousing infurmatior>such as specialized services for children,recent immigrants, senior citizens and young adults, li~cy and adult education programs, and the like-the Internet challenges the public library to maintain its share of the information franchise. Approximately 45 percent of public librarypatronsrcported that information g;.thcring was their primary rcason for using the bbrary. "A ~nt of that market is at risk," D'Flia said "But that lea= 55 percent who will be using other services of the library." Comparing radio to television, D'Elia points out that radio did indeed survive--but by changing its programming. By the same to1=, the library, too, can survive, but with em- of pbasison a different menu services. Given that one of the public library's grea2St percei.ed values is the presence of real people, D'Elia found, human interaction wiU help s~ the public libraries as vital within communities. Based on the fact that lnternft hasn't yet reached what D'Eiia called "the Model T Ford stage," predicting how Internet usc will impact public bbraries is difficult For Internet users, its 24-hours- a-day, Sev.n-days-a-week access is appealing. D'Elia found, and users believe that information acquired via the Internet- die immediateness, also a benefit-is more up-todate~ at the library. The convenience of having the lnternet at home, as well as the perception of a grea2r range of resources than at the library, both come out as advantages as well As for thosoo wl)o prefer the public library, usen say they enjoy its low cost and paper-venus digitalmaterials, and trust that rna~ to he more accura2. D'Elia also found that public librarypatrons feel greater privacy at the library than on the Internet, and are impressed with assistance in mo~ the form of a librarian over that of a telephone help line. And despite the fact that the fi· brary serves 65 percent of the population, ova- the Internet's 50 percent, it is difficult to ignore the latter's pervasiveness into daily life.

Some experience great fear in social situations even to the extent that they seldom leave the house. Others experience much anguish in terror of their next panic attack. You may know people who seem perperually to feel tired and oad or "blue." They may be unable to sleep, feel little pleasure, have clifficulty concentrating or experience heart palpitations, weeping or frequent headaches apparently unrelated to a physical cause. Sometimes they may think they are literally going crazy. They ore not alone. "More than 38 million Americans a year suffer from an anxiety and! or depressiV<! disorder," according to Beth Cohen, director of the UB Psy- S chologic:al Services Center and clinical assistant professor of psychology. · And despite the excellent help available today, she adds, people often continue to suffer alone with anxiouo, depressed feelings. "'The reason some people don't get help is that sometimes symptoms of anxiety and depression are mistaken foranothermedicalillness.Sotheunderlying problem is not diagnosed," she says, "or people are ashamed, afraid or don't know enough about anxiety and dep~ disorders to put a name to the feeling> and symptoms they have. National Anxiety Disorders Screening Day is an opportunity for them to finally grt some answers and some help." As part of National Anxiety Disorders Scn:ening Day on May 2, free screening and information sessions about the symptoms .~d treatments for these illnesses.will be offen:d from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the center in 168 Park Hall on the North Campus. A brief video featuring·individuals sharing their personal struggles and triumphs with anxiety and depression will be shown every hour on the hour and other information about anxiety disorders and other psychological problems will be available. Attendees will have the opportunity to complete a screening questionnaire and meet inclividually with a center staff member to review the questionnaire and receive a ..,Cerra) if necessary. Cohen adds that anxiety disorders and depression "don't discriminate onthebasisofage.!n~cJass. race or income. They affect people of all backgrounds." In fact, she oays hundn:ds of brilliant and accomplished historical 6gun:s rum, been aff.cted. Sbe notes that Robet\ Prost, Albert Einstein and Eleanor Roosevdt suffered episodes of acu\e social anxiety. Abraham Lincllin and Wmston O.urchill, she adds, struggled their entire lives with episodes of profound depression. And Olarles Darwin suffered such agonizing social anxiety and agoraphobia that heremoved himself from social life and concentrated on his scientific work. "Many highly~ businessmen, war huoes,govmunent leaden and even Hollywood ~ have been incapacitatal by anxiety and depression," Cohen oays. "Some of theoe public figures have adaxJwledged the enormous sufferingthattheoedisordershaveproduced in their lives. They have also experien<:Ed the tremendotis benefits of receiving etr.ctiYe treatment," she adds, "andhaveelecled to publidyadmowledjjetheir<xperien= in thebopetbat it will OllalUI3&" others to sed< help."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"We wanted to try to get a different look at how we operate," said Dennis Black, vice president for srudent affairs and a co-<iirector of the institute with Senior Vice President Robert J. Wagner. "We wanted to step back and gather different groups (of people) from different settings to make this a better place." In explaining what may appear to be an unlikely partnership between Uni=sity Facili.tics and Srudent Af- U fairs, Black noted that the idea for IAQl came about because Wagner's group was working on a project in which it needed assistance from Srudent Affairs. The rationale was, "Instead of University Services pursuing its own pmjectwitbhelpfmmStudentAffuirs, and Srudent Affairs pursuing its projects with help from Uni=sity Services, wouldn't it be a novel concept to have both groups working together" from the ou~ improving oollaboration and bringing better and different thinking to the tabla be said.

"If we can really truget thooe growth areas, and the way we approach (potential) students, we can make a dent in the (enrollment) figures." he said.

Blue & White scholarship drive surpasses $500,000 goal The Blue lr White Club scholarship fund drive once again ha• surpassed iu goal, raising more than $500,000 to support athletic scholarships. Through volunteer efforts under the leadership of Gary Joseph, funddri-;o chair, and Marshall Wood, co-chair, the Blue & White Oub-the booster organization ofUB athletics-raised a total of$504,870 during a six-week period. Funds generated through this etfon are used to offset increased costs associated with athletic scholarships. "To consider where we started just six years ago with a modest goal ofSIOO,OOO, to achieve this success is a testament to the incred - ible support we hav. received from many key alumni across the coun· try and the great support of our mission here in Western New York," said Bob Arkeilpane, director of athletics. " It is even more impres sive, and imperative to our growth, that we have seen such incred ible support in our formative years in Division 1 A and tht Mid Arntrkan Conference." The Blue & White Oub raised the bar this year an unprecedented $200,000 after reaching its goal of $300,000 last year. That made this year 's effort even more impressive, according to Joseph. "We asked even more of ou r volunteer group and the many supporters of UB athletics this year," he said, ..and it was extremely gratifying to see not only th e contin ued support of so many, but the many new faces and first -time contributors who understand the importance of having a quality Division 1-A athletic program in Western New York.'" 4 4 4 4 SOM receives grant for Belarus The School of M•nagement has been awarded a $218,000 grant from the Eurasia Foundation to continue its work developing an MBA program to be delivered in English at the Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno (YKSUG) in Belarus.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Graduate tuition policy criticized FSEC disputes new policy requiring grad student tuition to be included in grants By JENNIFER LEWANDOWSKI Reporter Assistant ~ditor EMBERS of the Faculty Senate Executiv< Committ~ have expressed in no untertain tmDs their overwhelming displeasure with a policy issued by the administration last December that requires all researchers to include the cost of graduate student tuition in grants. )aylan S. Turkkan, vice president for resea rch wh o attended the FSEC's March 28 meeting to address the issue, said the policy falls in line with protocol at other universities. .. It's very frustrating when you find out that other uni""rsities have cleverly been putting the graduatestudent tuitions on their budgets," she said, noting that a friend of hen who is a National Science Founda- M tion program officer tokl her that UB "is a Uttle bit behind the curve." Frank Gasparini, professor of physics and vice chair of the College 1 ofAJ:ts and Sciences PoUcy Committee, presented the case -as laid out by a unanimously agreed-upon resolution approvod Feb. 28 by the conuninee--for rescinding the di· rective, which, he assured senators, would result 'in a potentially disastrous decline in th e number of graduate students at UB and a">«and-rate" reputation to follow. Under the policy, effective Dec. 14 via a mem to deans from Turkkan, graduate-student tuition-scholarships that are funded by a line-item in the SUNY budget that now will be managed by the Provost's Qf. fia>-must be included on grant ap· plications, a provision that can be waived "only with the ,approval of the dean and vice president for research,.. the memo states. But, Gasparini said, including graduate tuition as a direct cost in a grant proposal translates to less money for researchers. "The reaUty is. things are going to have to be cut," he said, such as graduate students. supplies and equipment Another ramification is that the cosr of graduate students becomes comparable to the cost of post-d<X · roral students or technicians, who have to be trained less frequently. he said.

Turkkan also cited as part of the rationale for the new policy Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi's tendency to bring in "best practices from other sites." '"She made th1s recomme:ndauon to me as well--this IS what they've been doing an (the University ofl Florida for years,"' she said.

He added that UB will benefit greatly from Olsen's leadership in directing the new museum studies program. expected to begin in September in the Department of ~ History in the College of Arts and Sciences. As director of the Castellani Art Muse um since 1979, she has re ceived and administered more than $2 million in grants and was responsible for the collection, acquisitions, development and the museum's exhibition schedule. In 1990, she supervised the planning and construction or the new 25,000-square-foot art museum that repla ced th e Buscaglia-Castellani Gallery. Olsen holds master's and doctoral degrees in art history and a master's degree in history, all &om Boston University. She has been an adjund professor of art history at UB since 1989, and since 1979 has taught courses in museum studies and art history at UB, Niagara University and Canisius College on such topics as 19th century art, modern art and history or printmalting. Methodologically, she has been at the forefront of collaboratiye museum practice with public-art projects like "Stations" (1989-93) and "Empire State Partnership" (1 997 -present). "Stations" commemorakd local families who sheltered African Americans during their passage to freedom to Canada on the Underground Raiimad. 01= direckd and coordinakd the project with a kim. that included sculptor Houston Conwill, pod Estdla Consill Majozo and architect Joseph de Paoe. The National Endowment for the Arts seleckd "Stations" as one of the best projects in the nation in 1993. The "Empire Stak Partnership" project was designed to identify, develop and support best practices in educational and cultural collaborations focused on achieving the New York State learning standards adopted in 1996. The Castellani Museum project, conduded with the L<wiston-Porter School Distrid, was one of four museum/school partnerships seleckd for inclusion in "pARTnerships," a PBS documentary film produced by WNET-1V in New York City and broadcast stak· wide during the fall of 1999.

During her tenure at the Castellani, Olsen developed its highly regarded Folk Arts Program. which collaborates with local ethnic and minority communities in preserving and presmting their traditional arts, and locates and documents folk artists often unknown outside of their own family and friends. The work then is used in exhibitions, publications, artist demonstrations and performances that bring traditional arts to a wider audience. The program also has developed a permanent archive of folk-arts documentation as a re( source for teachm and scholars. "Sandra 01= has certainly distinguished hmelf as a museum colleague during her many years at the Castellani," oa.id Douglas Schultz, director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

Proposal would hike student fees By SUE WUETCHER Reporter Editor ROPOSED changes in the comprehensive student fee would increase next year's fee S6b per year for fulltime undergraduates, raising it to S I ,250 for 2001-02, according to a proposal issued by Dennis Black, vice president for student a.lfain. Under the proposal, the yearly fee for graduate and professional students would rise to $30, bringing1t to S940 for the year A session in which students can comment on the proposed fee increase will be held at I p.m. tomorrow in 330 Student Union, North Campus. Students also may comment via email to < compfee@vpsa.b uffalo.edu> before noon April23. The proposed increase includes S6 for negotiated perronnel salary/ benefit increases, S12 for technology, S12 for parking/transportation and S30-undergraduates onlyfor intercollegiate athletics. There are no increases proposed for the other components that make up the comprehensive fee-the SUNY college fee, student health fee and campus life fee. The budget that will go into ef. P feet July I will provide additional funding only for contrad ual cost increases, Black said But the university m ust continue to invest in programs and services essential to delivering high-quality educational experiences, while supporting the increased rusts of ongoing services and programs, he said "UB remains committed to providing an educational ~nmen t fostering student development and student success." he stressed "To do this, additional fee revenues for next year have been proposed through a modest increase in the student com- prehensive fee." Black Pointed out that fees would continue to be prorated on a credithour basis for part-time students and the current waiver policy will be maintained. Individual student government mandatory activity fees would continue to be a.sscssed in addition to the comprehensive fee. The fee increase for negotiated salary/benefits resulting &om statewide contract settlements would help cover the costs of state personnel who work in areas of the unive,.ity funded by student fees that are not provided fo r in the university's base budget. The increase in the technology fee would provide support for the uni versirf-wide implementati,on of a successful pilot oourse-management system, additional electronic ma terials to allow greater student access to library and research materials, more educational techn ology en- hanced classrooms and the replacement of aging equipment in some existing classrooms. The parking/transportation increase would provide a new intra- campus shuttle service for the South Campus and apanded blue-ligh t telephone service on bnth campuses. The increase in the intercollegiate athletics fee-for undergraduates only- would provide support for expansion of women's wrsity sports to bring them on a par with the men's sports, as well as additional support for the student payroll in Recreation and Intramural Services.

The research provides significant evidencr for the <xistcnce of the socalled "RNA world," believed to be the evolutionary stage that predates p~t biological systemS. It was published Monday by scientists at UB and the University of Tokyo in EMBO ]ounud (Vol20, no. 7), publication of the European Molecular Biology Olganii:ation. In evolving new sequences of an RNA catalyst, the authors also have developed an efficient method of creating novel proteins built out of not just the 20 amino acids found in nature, but out of additional,~ called non-natural amino acids designed in the lab. The research demonstrates for the fim time that a precursor to tiansfer RNA-thC genetic material that is responsible for synthesizing proleinS-<Ould have acted as the catalyst for reactions that link transfer RNA (!RNA) to amino acids in a pre-biological era. Aminoacylation, as that reaction is called, is the key step that spurs translation, o r protein synthesis in cells, but scie ntists probing how genes first came to generate life as we know it have been puzzled about how that crucial step came to be taken without a catalyst to trigger it. "Using an in vitro version of Dar· winian natural evolution, wt have evolved this RNA catalyst, which provides evidencr for support that RNA may well have served as the <YOiutionary vehick necessary for the development of present-day, DNA-protein-based life forms," said Hiroaki Suga, lead author and UB assistant professor of chentistry.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The policy draft, put together by the Faculty Senate Grading Committee, outlines 10 provisions--from faculty dearly stating attendance requirements in the syllabus, to what justifies an excusable absence. In particular, the policy draft preface states that "students may be absent from class due to participation in university-sponsored or ettdor.ied activities, illness or other emergency, religious observances and a variety of other 1 circumstances... ..Our general concern is that faculty should be dear and specific about their policies," said William H. Baumer, professor of philosophy and chair of the Grading Commi t· tee, at the Mar<h 21 meeting. "J fmd it a little bit problematic when stu dents come to me and tell me that they're in a course in which they cannot miss an exam. That seems to me to be inexcusabl~ behavior on the part of the faculty members." Judith Adams-Volpe, director of Lockwood Memorial Library, said while she appreciated that committee was offering a policy "so preme and well-o rganized ," students shouldn't be pcnaliz<d far-a spur· of-the-moment absence, such as a last-minute invitation to attend UB Day in Albany, or the recent case of four UB wrestJers who .tdvanced to the NCAA finals. "When they're signing up for a class, they can't possibly be expected to know that," sht said, cuing the: stipulation in the policy th,n notifi · cation be made "at least one week in adva nce." Volpc-AdanlS a6o suggested sonl<' of the language lx· removed from provision No. 2. which leaves room for the possibility that no alternative or make-up exam may be effected for an excused absence ... The policy should tell faculty that they should really make an effort to make an aJ. ternative," she said. "If (the language is) there, it makes"""'J'facultymem· ber fed that they can just say that there's no feasible make-up."

Nor was giving up his fulltime job to come to Buffa lo. Hultenius eventually found a way to circumvent circumstance-through UB's EngiNet distance-learning prop. And this past February, he became the universi ty's first-ever EngiN,et graduate. An assistant professor at Delhi State College ofTcchnology, Hultenius enrolled in the program five yean ago, taking one course per semester in order to balance school with his other priorities-work and family. Hulte:nius' situation somewhat parallels the difficulties his advisor Stuatt O>en, associate professor of civil engineering. faced years ago. F Working full-time as an engineer in New )er.~ey, O>en started working on a graduate program part· time, commuting 75 minutes each way to campus twice a week. He eventually quit his job to attend school full-time. "That memory has stuck with me, and it influenced my willingness to teach a distance-learning ooUr>e the first time • was askro," said Chen, who has invested considerable effort into "getting a coherent distancelearning program together." O,en--who has taken to the task of recruiting oolleagues to participate in EngiNet since it was established in 1994 as a consortium of engineering schools at the university centers of UB,Ston)' Brook and Binghamtonsaid he empathizes with those who arc at a distance disadvantage. "There are lots of are-dS within the state where there's not convenient access to a graduate program in civil engineering." said Chen, citing as ex· an1plcs the Southern Tier or Rochester-residents of which would have to drive to Bullillo, Ithaca or Syracuse to flfld a progr.un. EngiNct's read1 extends wcll beyond New York. with many students coming from such locations as Georgia, the Dominican Republic, Califorrtia, Texas, Pennsyl· vania, lndiana and Nevada. Fifty· seven students are enroUcd this se· mcster in the various engineering disciplines-19 alone in civil, structural and environmental enginecrin~nd another 18 taking an onsite course taught at a local industry. Master's students are required to complete 30 hours of coursc.....,vork 10\V"drd their degree. All course~ arc asynchronolb, Chen explained, to promote.• an "anytime, an}'\vhcrc" ed.ucatjon.

The kty attnbute of work that qualifies it to be tided a project is its uniqueness and complexity when .oompared to the routine "!>erational needs of daily work.

Carol Brewer, associate professor in the School of Nursing, has stud· ied labor trends in nursing since the 1980s. Fascinated by the workforce dynamics at the time, Brewer began work on her doctomte at the Uni· versity of Michigan in 19S7roughly the same time the oountry was facing a major nursing short· age--and with a clinical master's degree already under her belt, added a master's in applied economics in the midst of her doctoral work. Since joining the UB faculty in 1994, Brewer has investigated nuts· ing trends in Western New York and New York Stare, with a desire to push beyond statistical data and uncover why certain conditions exist. Right now, the industry is in the ~ midst of a "baby boom bulge," with fewer youth ente.ring the workforce, resulting in a moderate shortagt, Brewer said. ...

"You can change the behavior of nurses who are partidpating, who are already licensed and in the workforce- you can try to get them to work more," she said . ..

In thescherneofthings, Hultenius said earning his degree via US's EngiNet program. was more a ben· efit-than burden-of technology. "I often felt like I was one of the other students sitting in class," he said of the videotapes mailed to him each week. "I liked the convenience 6f being able to watch the tapes at my leisure-and being able to rewind and watch over if necessary." But on the B.ipside, Hulteniussaid going the distance to get his degree was more challenging than some might give it credit. "I don't think i)'s at all easier," he said "In fuct, I think it's probably a little more difficult because I didn't have the luxury of badgering my in· structors for help, (and) I didn't have the luxuryofhavingdassmates who I oould learn with and get help from." In defense of the quality of dis· tance-leaming courses--and as a note to faculty who question their value--Chen explains that the vid· cotaped courses are simply record· ings of class lectures that would bappen regardless of distance learning. "We're not doing a separate set of courses," he said. "The same stan· dards have to be met, the same as· signments have to be done."' And to faculty cynics and skep· · tics, Chen r.lises what may seem an unsettlin~ut ·nonetheless bon· est-point. "One of the things I teU my ool· leagues who have been reluctant to teach distanoe· leaming courses, is (that) evm some of the students we call local are operating as if they're at a distance--they don't show up for class, they're relying on picking up handouts and notes from people, and dumping material from ooursc Web pages," he said "So, what's the difference!" Funher, he said, some graduate students end up finishing their degree at a distance anyway. In high demand by employers, many leave before completing their final master's project. "I think all things oonsidered, it would be berter to be on campus, real·time interactive ill the class· room with a faculty member," Chen said "That is tlie best of all possible worlds, and I would not advocate that distance learning is in e-my way equal to that. "But for people who don't have the luxury of quitting their jobs (and) going back to school full time, I think it's a decmt stmnd·best,"beadded. Hultenius, who nevtr once set foot on the UB campus, isn't oomplaining. "I think I re<Zived the same ((!u· cation as anybody else who attended in person," he said. The absence of classmates with whom be could oonfer on class maners was so~­ times frustrating, he added, "(but) I don't think it detmcted from the quality of the education.• Chen said EngiNet isn't opera!· ing-and shouldn~ be viewed-as a money-making enterprise, but r3ther as a function of the univ=ity's public·service mission. ·~ofthewaysastateuniver· sity SfS!em promotes il3elfis by pro- viding access to higher education.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

" It signifies better than the school's current name precisely what we see as its major areas of growth and development, which include information-technoldgy research, education and the kind of workforce development with which AT&T is helping us," Jacobson said. AT&T has awarded the SIS a twoyear,$200,000 grant to support curriculum development for a 36credit-hour interdisciplinary m3ster's degree in information and communication that will prepare students to enter the 'infonnation workforce by mixing theory with practical experience. Representatives of AT&T presented a check for the first installment of the grant on Tuesd.JIY to President Wtlliam R. Greiner and Provost Elizabeth D. Capaldi. An initial $50,000 planning grant from AT&T received last year enabled UB to conduct interviews and focus groups with businesses and government agencies to identify the information-technology skills needed to be sua:essful in today's workplace. This process laid the groundwork for the current $200,000 grant for the development of an informatics rurricu- !urn that blends technical rrain ing products and scrvteb. "AT&T's generous g~ft wtll cnabk us to train a new generation of leaders in information technology, whtlc also enhancing educational techno!· ogy at the unMrsity," Greiner nott:d.

In hu· man services and environmental studies, the curricula include some rourses taught by part-time fuculty with expertise in those areas. The idea was developed in the mid1970s in the Faculty or Social Sciences.

Study uncovers peculiar online-bidding behavior Consumen bkk:llng for ltenu on e.Bay or other online auction sites exhibit a peculiar shopping behavior that actually hinders their ability to get a good deal on a desired item, according to a study of digital consumer behavior by a School of Management r~rcber.

He found that consumers tended to gravitate toward items that have one or more existing bids, wh1le tgnoring comparable or tven superior .. unbid-for" items from the same product categories. Dbolakia attributes the phenomenon to a "herd -behaviOr bias," which simply means that b1dders often succumb to a form of online peer pressure when choosing Hems ro bid on. The behaviOr occu rs.

SOM to offer MIS degree The School of M • n ~e m ent will offer a master's degree program in management information system~ (MIS), beginning in the fall. The 30-credit-hour program is open to qualifi ed students who have co mpleted an undergraduate degree in business or a related field. The MIS program is being added in response to the growing need for qualified managers in the information-technology field, says Ram Ramesh , professor-of management science and systems in the School of Management. The program will provide students with a solid grounding in both hardware- and software-developmen t con · cepts, including how th ose concep ts can be applied to e·busincss. "The systems analyst of the future needs to be able to identify how_ technology can be used to solv< problems and achieve business goal,: Ramesh says. "This new graduate program will give students the broad perspective they need to advance in their managerial careers." Students pursuing the MIS degree aJso may participate m the school's highly regarded internship program, wh1ch will offer op· portunitics in a variety of corporate settings.

"Olemistry often is called the science of molecular change," said Philip Coppens, SUNY Distin guished Professor in the Department of Olemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences and principal investigator. "This tedmique allows us to probe deeply into that science at the atomiclevel" The researchers are extending the technique to molecules that exist for just millionths or even billionths of a second-while one molecule is A binding to another-using very in- tense light sources at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The tedmique has overturned the assumption, widely held for the past qua·rter-ccntury. that the new chemical states of nitrosyl com- pound&-compounds where nitric oxide is bound to a metal atomgenerated by illumination with lasu light were electronically excited Sillies; that is, they involved orie or mort of the electrons in the atoms gaining energy while the molecule remained essentially the same. The UB work has found that the light-generated molecules are not electronically excited states, but linkage isoplers-meaning they have differtnt atomic arrangements. " In short, for a ""'1' brief time, they beoome different molecules," said Coppens. Using pbotocrystallography, Coppens and his graduate students have found that very small, common molecules bind to transition metal atoms, such as iron and nickel, in previously unknown ways when the oompounds ar< irradiated with Jascr light "That is significant, as such simple molecules play a crucial role in body chemistry, in vasodilation, inlubition of platelet aggregation and in nerve t:ransmission,.. he said In the blood, for example, nitric oxide binds to iron atoms, which ar< the transition metal atoms in hemoglobin, Coppens explained. "It isnitricnxidein the blood that rtgUiates bl.ood pressure by activatirig an enzyme that, in tum, catalyzes a reaction, causing blood vessels to constrict or relax," he said. Coppens is c;oUaborating with George B. Richter-Addo, a professor in the Department of Olemis-, try and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma, and Kimberly Bagley, professor of chemistry at Buffalo State College, on using photocrystallography to investigate light-induced processes in nitrousoxide model compounds for pro· tcins, such as NO hemoglobin.

He will walk with kin!'.'- He will be rich and famous Your name will be carried all over the world:" One could say that despite the · odds stacked against him, Poirier- · the first African-American male to win an Oscar-came into this world o n his own tenns. Truly stranger than fiction, and perhaps more outrageow thao anything Poitier experiencrd in the cinematic world of make-believe, is his life-according to Poirier himself, whose lect ure· to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. was included, for the first time in its 25-year history at UB, in the Distinguished Speakers Series. For 51 of his 74 rutless boy," b~ said. From the mbment he was born, and including the cxuptional circumstances of that occasion, Poirier's life lw bem what he said he can describe ortly as "weird." PoitJer, the yoWl{!CSt of eight children, nearly drowncd--<aid tonguein-cheek-at his mother's bands when he.was just a baby. The "metbod to her madness," be later undentood, was teaching him to swiJn---to surviYe,essentially--gjwn their proximity to the ocean.

Left for a later discussion at which he never arrived, Poirier 'intimated, how<"m", that details could be UI1<XM!Ied in his memoir, "lhe~ofaMan."

It would appear that Professor Boot's presumptive claim to be r<garded as the academic conscion~ of the uni..mty, without duly informing himself of tither existing policy or practi~ in this area, has led him to pro<lt= a misleading diatribe against an honorable and effective pedagogical approach. ·Rather than an irrespoMbk aberration,as Professor Boot contends, UTAs are, in fact, widely utilized in .leading research universities. Furthermore, his apparent eagerness to see intrigue where there is none, coupled with a penchant for overblown rhetoric, gM:s his letter a particularly strident and disrespectful tone. In the interests of clarity and fairness , let me set th e record straighL First, Professor Boot is mistakm in seeing "the administration, specifically deans Grant, Stinger and Eagles," as respollSible for the existing policies governing the utilization · of UTAs. The University's Faculty Senate in 1996 adopted a general enabling policy covering their use (selection, tasks, supervision, etc.). Individual department& can provide additional, more detailed, setco of regulations. ln the one case where the Dean's Office has becoine in- valved in this area, it was in response to a request fiom a department seeking to ensure that its policies were being consistently implemented by aD members of its faculty. Secondly, Professor Boofs unfortunate and callous analogies to repressive labor regimes in the Far East notwithstanding participants in the undergraduate UTA aperience (either as TAs or students) routinely emphasize the high quality of the learning they gain fiom iL As educators at aD lt'Jds know, there is no greater incentive to genuinely learn material than to have to tach it, and our undergraduate TAs benefit fiom this. Their experience generates course credit and proviQes an enriching. bigltly respoMble, careerrelevant aperien~. As for students served by UTAs, a substantial body of....ardl onpeerleamingernphasizes the effectiveness of teaching in the more relaud and casual atmosphere created when the social and psychological distan ce between teacher and student is diminished. In its resolution regarding UTAs, UB's Faculty Senate makes it clear that this is a case of educational advantage, not exploitation. Finally, the CoUege of Arts and Sciences does have a legitimate interest ·in exploring the UTA issue and is presently doing 'so. Our consideration wiU include looking at the practices of other schools utilizing UTAs. We are examining the experiences of CorneD, Brown, Illinois/ Champaign ·Urbana, Arizo n a, Maryland, Georgia, Oregon, Stony Brook, UniversityofCalifornia-Berkeley and Rochester, to 9ame just some of the highly ranked universities that ha"" adopted this practice. As an institution, we invite our undergraduates to share, as fuUy as possible and together with faculty . and graduate studmts, in the total uniYersityexperience. Where appropriate, our best undergraduates are transformed from consumers to producers of.knowledge through inYOivement in the ....ardJ process. By the same token, it would seem misguided to deny our best undergraduates an opportunity to share in the challenges of disseminating knowledge. Apart fiom the ¥~bstance of this important issue, I 'atnnot let pass Professor Boofs characterization of the CAS administration. For him to insinuate that the Dean's Office is in some fashion a rat's hole where administrators hide fiom their respon sibilities is both demeaning and insulting to the dedicated and highly professional people who work there. Deans and associate deans are faculty members as weU as administrators, and to dismiss their effons in such derogatory and insulting terms is reprehensible.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A Multi-year budget endorsed B)' SUI WUETCHU Roporttr Edita< T HE idea of a multi-year budget for SUNY was enthusiastically endorsed by a panel of prominent leaders in higher education attending a recent "Higher Education Teach-In" at UB. Assemblyman Edward c. Sullivan, chair of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, in l3ct has proposed that aiM-year budget plan be adopted for SUNY. 'tbe proposal is part of the Higher Education andReinv<stment Act (HERA), which is in the proczss of being drafted. Sullivan was featured on the panel, along with Arthur 0. Eve, deputy ~bly speaker; SUNY 1h1stee Pamela Jacobs; President William R Greiner; <llristopber Holland, student representative to the SUNY Board of'Ihlstees, and Blair Homer, legislative director of the New York State Public Interest Raeart:h Group (NYPIRG). NYPIRG sponsored the forum, which was held on March I in Pistachio's in the Student Union. With a five-year budget plan, Sullivan told teach-in participants, "colleges such as UB would be able to plan on a five-year basis as to what money would be ooming in," making it .. more sensible for all ooncerned." He said that although a current legislative body cannot tell future oolleagues what they can do, "we can make it difficult for them to chango--«> cut the "lludljOI."Once the budget is law, it -..uuld be "politically difficult" for future legislators to reduce the amount because they would have to pass a law to that effect. Homer noted the idea of a multiyear budget is not an "urtheard of approach to pemance," pointing out that the Legislature several times has instituted ·multi-year tax cuts. "Certainly, there's preCrdent for the type of long-range, economic planning that you see on the tax-<:Utting side," he said. "Ct!tainly, we think it IIlllkos sense to do it on the educational-planning side as well" Gmner praised the proposal, noting that "you would not find a president in the SUNY system who would not endorse a multi-year budget." )aoobs wondered about applying the multi-year approach to tuition incnases, pointing out that tuition has not heeD raised in five years. "How long do we go!" she asked. Holland noted that the oonven· tioual wisdom bolds that students automaticaUywill he "''!"*d to a tu· ilion in=&se. But when the fee structure is added to the dynamic-fees are being imposed because tuition is not being increased-"students are for the idea that we should be planning for these things within the tu- ilion structure so that we can knock some of these fees out," he said. "If we bad a rational tuition policy where we -..uuld he allk to raise the tuition in increments year after year instead ofhavirig this plateau and then raising it a oouple ofhundred dollars five years from now, it would seem more rational and more realistic." Sullivan said be thinks there will rome a time when a predictable way of raising tuition will be entertained. "But we're not there yet," he said, because fees on top ofJhe cumnt tu· ilion "presents too high of a p<rcmtage of the cost ofeducating a student at many campuses." "I feel that when we get back to the point where the student's oontribution--tuition and fees.-...1s at a per· =tage ~ that is oommensurate with oolleges around the oountry, or the history of this oollege, or some other criterion, then it will be the right time to start raising tuition in a planned way"-by the oonsumer price index or some other indicator. "I agree that we should not have this in politica! fits and starts. But 1 think that what ""' want to do is get back to the point where we're more or less where we should be," Sullivan said.

One type of bacteria, StreptiJaKCUS mutans, is a known cavity-indue~ ing organism. Investigators at the Un~ity of Connecticut and l1B, in previous research, suggested that a secood baekrium, StreptiJaKCUS gordonii, also may cause tooth det:ay, but they didn't know how much and under what conditions. The irMstigators now ha.. oonfirmed that StreptiJaKCUS gordonii in· duces tooth decay in an animal mode~ but that it is less virulent than Streptococcus mullmS. They also ha.. sbown that Streptococcus gordonir is equaUydecay-inducing in the presence of either ordinary sugar (su· erose) or high-fructose com sweekner. These results are in oontrast to the known activity of the more virulent Streptococrus mutans, the decay-causing ability of which is strongly augmented by sucrose, but is ......XC.. in the presence of the oom sweetener. "1bese resulu provide one more piece of information about how tooth decay occurs." said Jason M. Tanzer, professor of oral diagnosis and bead of the Division of Oral Medicine in the School of Dental Medicine, Univ-ersity of Connecticut Health Center, and lead researcher on the study. "E""'f piece of new information about this condition, which costs the American public more than $58 billion annuaUy for treatment, is potentiaUy important for the public health." Frank A. Scannapieco, associate professor of oral biology at the UB School of Dental Medicine, is co-author of the study. Tanzer and Scannapieco set out to determine if sucrose is more poknt U1 supporting tooth decay caused by StreptvcDcrw gordonii than another sugar found e:specially in soft drinks For this study, they chose to i!Mstigate the ...Jationship betwoen high-fructose oom swmener, now used as a suhsli· ture for sucrose in most """" drinks, and infection by either StreptvcDcrw gordoniiorStrtptvcDcrwmurans.High-fructosecomswretener,like sucrose, also is found in many baked goods and other foods. To assess the cariogenicity (cavity-producing pokntial) of these two sugan, the researcherssupplement<d the drinking water of their study animals with 10 percent sucrose, 10 percent high-fructose oom swmener, or 10 percent maltodextrin (a caloric, digestible complex carbohydrate) supplemented with an artificial sweetener to msu... comparable taste and caloric intake. Solicfdieu and nutritional status were the same for aD groups. · Some of the animals on each regimen were inoculat<d with either Streptococcus gordonii or Streptococcus mutans, while others remained uninoculated. Results showed that uninoculated animals had relatively few cavities, regardless of the diet sweetener. Inoculated animals developed higher levels of tooth decay if they drank water Supplemented with either sucrose or high-fructose com swtetener than if they drank water supplemented with the artificial sweetener and maltodextrin. If the rats were infected with Strq>tococcus mutans, howt"Ver, they developed the highest decay levels if they drank sucrose, researchers said In contraSt, in rats infected with Streptococcus gordoni1, decay lev· els were not as high, and there was no clear distinction between the effects of sucrose and high-fructose 'o/0 sweetener, findings showed. "These results suggest that Streptococcus gordonii mwt be consKkred a possible human decay-causing bacterium," Tanzer said ... They also suggest that sucrose and high-fructose com swertener appear equaUy supportiV< of decay indueed by the weaker,decay-causingStreprococcw gordonii, in contrast to the more virulent Streptococcus mutans, whose decay-causing ability is strongly augmented by sucrose, but less so by high-fructose com sweetener...

"Most diseases, especially infectious diseases, are associated with a oomplex array of risk factors, anyone ot which inmases the chances of a person developing the disease," said Emesto De Nardin, associak profes· soroforalbiologyandmicmbiology, and senior author on the study. "Persons with the rare form of the fibrinogen gene would add that risk filctor to any others associated with the development of periodontal disease. They should pay particular attention to their oral hygiene and perhaps visit their dentist mo"'often than nonnal" De Nardin and ooUeagues previ· ouslydernonstrated that the presence ofthe rare H2H2 fibrinogen genotype in persons with periodontal disease provided one possible explanation for the known ...Jationship betwoen poor oral health and heart disease. Elevated plasma fibrinogen levels are known to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease by increasing the propensity for blood clots. In the current study, UB oral biologists took this research further, studying the incidence of the rarer fibrinogen genotype in persons with periodontal disease in an effort to explain in part the variance of the disease in adults. Besides its role in blood cloning, De Nardin noted, fibrinogen also can increase inBammation in three ways: by providing a framework for the accumulation of inflammatory cells, promoting the immune response and aiding in bacterial colo· n.ization, adhesion and invasion. For this study, the researchers in · vestigated the djstribution of the two abnormal fibrinogen genotypes-termed HI H2 and H2H2and assessed .fibrinogen leY<Is in 79 persons with periodontitis and 75 persons without the disease. Resulu showed that 5 I percent of the periodontal patients had one of the abnormal genotypes, compared to 30 percent of the healthy controls. Further, risk of periodontal disease was fou nd.{o be three times g=ter in persons with the HI H2 gene and six times greater in those with the H2H2 gene, compared to persons with the normal gene-type. The amount of fibrinogen in the blood stream also was about 10 per· cent higher in the periodontal group than in the healthy co ntrols, De Nardin said. Also contribuung to the research were S.E.

At that time, through the leaden;lup provtded by the school's late dean, Jacquelyn Mu..:heU, and contmut-d by the current ad rmmstratlon. the facul ty emphasized its de tfrnunauon to forward the st rategic plan developed to suppon H.s new initiatives. These miuat1vcs called for the school to 1m prove its current standing among the top 'iOschools of education in the United States, rcconstrud its degree programs, position it ~ self to usc resources more flexibly and meet new New York State regulations on teacher education and certification programs, while mamtaining program quality. Lmportant1y, the plan caUed as weU for the school to strengthen programs and concen !rations that co uld make significant con tn butions to new init.iatives in urban education and education technology, with an cyr to strengthening efforts being conducted by other un iversi ty ent ities and by the larger Western New York educational community. Once it adopted this mission and these strategies, GSE faculty members moved ~uickly to establish strong collabomtivc bonds with area urban school districts, particularly 1n the ci ties of Buffalo, Tonawanda and Niagara Falls. They have \\/Orkcd with their (:Onupunity partners tO develop nt•w educa- tiona! opportunities, especially in the areas of literacy, learning technology and educational leadership for students, parents, teachen; and administraton;, as well as for GSE researchen; and student teachrn. Cooperative ventures have included community forums; programs that instruct teachers, students and parents in the uses of new educational technologies; new forms of professional training and novel methods of delivery; research into specific school problems that suggest promising soluti o~ in~n - "Our two--year-old strategic plan SpKtfles three maJor arenas In whkh we will wort< to effect the transfonnation of pubUc-Khoof education, urban education, teacher education and educational technology." THOMAS FRANTZ uve methods of cultural expression and education, the development of new financiaJ strategies and structuring. and other ventures too numerous to outline here. The story of the many shared successes associa ted with this effort is best told through the variety of related efforts, the nature of specific collaborations and some of the exCitmg o utcomes experienced during the past !'wo and a half years. ItiS a story of change and excitement-supported by de-.tr goals, hard work. commumry commitment and cooperation among a large nwnber of discrete groups.. The outcomes so far have helped illuminate the road by wluch greater academic success can be produced m Western New York's urban schools. Tbisslwed journey continues tosuggc:,;, refomlstrntq9es capable of reinvigorating efforts to overcome difficulties that sometimes overwhelm students in often·crowded, frequently under-funded schools. It throws new tight on the creativity and strength of urban teachers. who with courage and determination, histon caUy have undertaken the larger community'' most daunting educational mission. Finally. it proposes the value of coopcra uw effort, communal decision -making. ralproca.l respect and deep involvement on the pan of a vast network of familial, educational, governmental and community entities. The work of the institutes, centers and n.·search detailed in the foUowing pages include a number of urban -education projects un dertaken by GSE faculty. Among those not mentioned is a stUdy by Austin Swanson of the financial policies of urban public schools Within the context of the policies of schools at the national, state and regional levels. Another is new research by Lois Weis bemg conducted within an abstinence-based sexuality project operated by the Buffalo organization WomenFocus. There is Maxine SeUer 's research and wrat mg, which reflects her major interests m school children who are fore1gn-born or the children of immagrants, the educauon of urban girls and multicultural education.

The primary aim of this collahoration of UB, the Bull3lo Pub~c Schnols and the community is to use multimedia technologies to help students learn in an inquiry-based, learner-centered and project-oriented ~teracy curriculum, says Suzanne Miller, associate dean of the GSE and coordinator of the City Voias, City VIsions project. Miller emphasizes that innovitive app~cations of multimedia technology in schools "can dramatically improve teaching and learning." but points out that teachers often have ~ttle opporturtity to learn to use these technologies effectively. Furthermore, she explains, the problem is mu:erbated in financially strapped urban schools, where both students and teachers may have limited aocess to these technologies. The City Voices, City Vosions projectfunded through the Bull3lo Public Schools. the Bull3lo CityNet and Regional Community Network projects ofUB's Center for Applied Technoiogies in Education (GATE) and the GS~pports four major initiatives that strive to maximize teacher effectiveness and student learning. One initiative is the F aspects of the City Voices, City Visions project.

"! thinktheymadequiteastatement with that," Coggins says, noting that the students added their own soundtrack and wen responsible for all of the editing.

"There's generally a lot of enthusiasm and determination," he says. In this first technology dub, four adult volunteer mentors worked with the MciGnley Kmsington and McKinley high schools.

Students document ''Skarooran Journey'' By PATIIKIA DONOVAN Contributing Editor M , middle school students at the Tuscarora Indian School in the Niagara-Wheatfield School District have been working since late September to produce "Skarooran journey: A Tuscaroran Arlv.nture,"' an educational journey that explores aspects of the history, language and culture of these ancient native woodlands people through a student -designed, multimedia, CD-ROM program. The project, undertaken with the assistance of the Graduate School of Education (GSE), is a complex undertaking that involves not only the exploration of the tnbe's \ t.raditional practice, but its very identity as a ~ving culture in the 2 !st century. It requires students to develop important literacy and technology skills, including the coUection of oral histories, narrative writing, creation of interactive learning games, art work; photography, animation, production design and tht creation Or real-time movies. The project was originated by )anneke Bogyo, the technology teacher at the Tuscarora school and lecturer in learning and instruction in the GSE, and Robin Sullivan, GSE instructional design coordinator.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Cleanliness of campuses on decline Dupre tells FSEC budget cuts, downsizing have contributed to lowest levels ever By~ UWAHDOWSIU Rep>ner Assistant Editor T HE current levels of cleanliness on the campuses, what bas amtributed to their decline over tl;le past decade and suggestions as to what could be done to improve those levels were discussed at the Feb. 21 Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. "The issue of cleanliness on ·campus refers to a number of issues related to cleanliness, which are budgetary in nature," said Peter N"ldcmon, FSEC chair and director of the graduate program in pathol- ogy. "There are issues of j>olicies related to state cleaners""""' conlnlctingout; there ared!oiastobemade." And while no formal decisions were made at the meeting. FS.EC members engaged in a friendly, sometimes serious, dialogue about cleanliness, from which a number of recommendations emerged on how improve the campuses' condition. Michael Dupre. associate vice president for university facilities, presented to the panel an overview of campus cleanliness levels--qualifying his assessment with the fact that"massive budget reductions and downsizing" have contributed to "some of the lowest cleaning levels Sl million was sa pped from the we've ever bad at the university."

The new program buikjs on a 14year collaboration between thelnfec• tious Diseases Unit at the University of Rochester and the Laboratory for Antiviral R<search at UB,directf!d by GeneMorse,associate<lean for clinical education and research, and chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice in the pharmacy sd!ool The collaboration bas facilitated numerous 'clinical pharmacology studies since the beginning of the NDi-sponsored AIDS Oinical Trials program in the mid - 1980s. Morse now serves as national chair of the Adult AIDS Oinical Trials Group Pharmacology Committee, Which is part of the NIH program. The agreement provides for an expansion of research capabilities at UB•s Pharmacotherapy Research Center (PRC). Under the agreement, the University of Rochester will provide "significant support" to the pharmacy school to enable it to expand instrumentation capabilities at the PRC and to hire additional technicians to operate itsanalytic;allaboratory. The PRC, a multicenter collaborative clinical research program, utilizes the cenfral analytical laboratory to measure drug concentrations from samples collected in human pharmacology studies. The Scliool of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences already supports clinical research and pharmacy-student education in Clinical Pharmacology units based at the Erie County Medical Center, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the VA Medical Center, the Dent Neurologic Institute and Univera Health Care. The addition of the new clinical research unit to US's comprehensive pharmacyl'rogramcomesat a time when the pharmacy school, like its peer institutions nationwide, is completing the transition to making the Pharm.D. degree its sole professional degree. While many pharmacy practitioners continue to practice in comrnu· nity and hospital settings, Morse explained, many new career opportunities have evolved in the area of clinical research, both within the ceutical Sciences. "On the one hand, we need to integrate and expand our clinical research programs with other healthcare senings in Western and Central New York in order to facilitate col- pharmaceutical clinical education. This agreement allows us to do both." In addition to providing for three faculty positions witli joint appOintments in the UB Department of Pharmacy Practice and the University of Rochester sd!ool of medicine, the program also provides for two post-doctoral fellowship positions at the.University of Rochester. "These faculty also will be involved in the clinical pharmacology instruction for medical students at the UniversityofRochester and will provide an opportunity for medical interns and residents to learn alongside pharmacy students and residents, while focusing on clinical pharmacology and therapeutics in Strong Memorial Hospital; said Ander>on. Morse will lead the effort for UB. industry, in academia and within governmental agencies like the FDA. The UB PhannJ). degree requires 40 weeks of full-time, advanced clinical experiential rotations, while also providing an opportunity to emphasize elective courses and experiential rotations in clinical and laboratory-based research. By contrast, the bachelor ofscience in pharmacy program required only 18 weel<s of clinical training. and the training often had a different focus. UB will graduate its last class of bachelor's-degree students in May.

The most quantitative measure put to use in gauging diversity on campus, the task force hopes the survey will confirm the C qualitative results of its earlier work, said Henry Durand, director of the Center for Academic Development S.rvices in the Educational Opportunity Program and chair of the task force's writ· ing committee. "They teU you different things, but hopefully, they will coincide, and if, in fact, that's the case, then you can make fairly strong state· ments about how the campus community feels. and also what recommendations you might come up with," Durand said. All faculty and staff members will he issued the ourwy, .. wiD • 10 percmt random ample of majority (white) atudents and aU of the racial and ethnic minority Jtudents on c;ampua.

"The IIW'I'<Y will provide w with a critical piece of information about the univmity community and where it stands with IrSpeCI to feelings about diversity,~ Durand said. "We've heard from other constituents, but not from the field directly itself," he said, referring to the initiol discussion groups that induded faculty and staff members, many of whom hdd roles of advocacy or leadership. "Without thiJ (survey results), the taskforce will he severdy lading because we'U have opinions from selected groups," he added. Durand said the task force feels a sm.se of urgency in issuing the survey in a time frame relative to other data already gathered. UB's survey is in part modeled after other institutions that have implemented similar measures. such as Ohio Stat< University; Uni · versit:f of Pennsylvania and the Uni...mty of Maryland. Durand said the task fOrce worked to adapt some of those survey styles, while tailoring questions to UB. But while UB is taking proactive--.nd progr~measures/ to Jtudy and irnprovt conditions on campw, Durand said, be also sees disparity in the way diversity is approached, given that talk sometimes aceeds the effecting of change. Diversity at UB, be emphasized, is not jwt about racz and ethnicity-it's about bringing value to the institution. "Everybody...,. diversity is important," he said. "Now, how that getJ followed up with action is what wt're tryins to find out. That's the whole point of the Jtudy." Durandaridbe~tothinkof the task force as .running a,.quality-control operation. \ "We're constantly doing assessment and review in order to make sure we're offering the best service that we can ofFer," be said. "It only makes sense to do that with respect to climate and issues around diversity because that's become such a central part of the world that we're going to have live, work and recreate in. "You loo~ around this campul• you begin to see what the future looks like," he said. Durand said the task force is negotiating a rt1ease date for the survey with the Office of Institutional Analysis.

Beginning in tht faU , the bachelor of science degree wiU be de· signed for students interested in a career in the field and in need of a traditional, technical-science degree, says John Fountain , profes- sor and chair of the Depanment of Geology. A new bachelor of arts degree has t>een developed to appeal to students ·interested in scien ce, but who don't want to be technical scientists." "Sociery now involves so many science- based issues, from the en vironment to computers, that students may view BA science degrees as an alternative to a liberal arts degree," Fountain says. " By reduc - ing the number or required geology courses, as well as the level of math, chemistry and physics, the BA n'?w provides a broadly based education with a science fOcus." Fountain says that among the students who might be interested in the BA degree are those who want to become earth science teach ers; those who plan to attend law or some other graduate school, since the degree provides a good introduction to environmental law, and those interested in the outdoors and the environment but who do not want a career in science, such as science journalists. The department also is offering a combined five-year BNMA pro· gram based on the new BA program.

Lower compliance among these boys at the earlier ages was "-'SSCia ted with their fathers' depression and negative emotions.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

UB Council opposes student-fee cap By SUE WUETCHER Report.er Editor T HE UB Council went on the record o n Tuesday in opposing a effort in the state Legislature to limit student fees to 15 percent of tuition. President William R. Greiner said the cap could cost UB more than $12 million a yea r in funds used to support information technology, athletics. transportation and student health services-severely hampering the universi ty's ability to provide these services. Council members unanimously approved a resolution opposing companion bills making their WdY through the Senate and Assembly that would .lim it fees at statc-opcr- ated campuses to J5 percent of tuition. The cap would be phased in o= three years, with limits of 25 percent being imposed the first year. 20 percent the second year and I 5 percent the third. With fees for undergraduates totaling $595 per semester for the current academic year, the legislation, if ap· pro-ro, would limit the amount UB could charge undergraduates in fees to $255 a semester at the current tuitio n rate of $3,400 a )'C'M, according to figures supplied by IA"'llnis Black, vice president for student affuirs. Grcirler told council members that, "in principle," UB has no particular objection t.o cal?ping fees. "i f the state was willing to supply an aJ. tcrnativc source of revenue, but there is no indication ofthat.., With out the funds genera ted through student fees, UB ha s ''no visible means of supporting" these student services, he said.

UB participates in stroke study UB Is one o f 60 medical centers across the United States and Canada participating in a major study of a new procedure to prevent stroke. L. Nelson Hopkins, professor and chair of the Department of Neurosurgery and director of the Toshiba Stroke Research center, is the princiflal investigator qf the Buffalo portion of the study that will compare carotid endar-terectomy, a common operation to prevent stroke, to a new procedure called carotid artery stenting. The study-called the Carotid RevascuJarization Endarterectomy Stenting Trial, or CREST-is supported by the National institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (N INDS) of the Nationallnsti· tutes of Health. Buildup of atherosclerosis occurs preferentially at the point where the carot-d-a main artery th at supplies blood to the brain-divides into the internal and external arteries. If the internal carotid artery is blocked by atherosclerosis.-a stroke may occur. During a carotid endarterectomy, physicians dean out and repair the carotid. With the newcarotidarterystenting.a metal device called a stent i.s plaad in the narrowed part of the carotid artery to hold it open. Half of the patients in the study will get acaroid stent, while hal f will undergo the endarterectomy. A total of2,500 patients will participate in the study, with about 50 co ming from Buffalo.

In the work that we do. we emphasize the process of .. leader· ship" more than a person being a "leader."Typically,a leader is thought of simply as the person in the group that tells everyone else what to do, or someone who is elected to a position or designated the head of an or· ganization. There is an implkation that there is only one "leader" and that a person is ei ther a leader or not. We view leadership as a process of people together attempting to accomplish change or make a difference to benefit the common good We want students to recogniu and develop their own leadership skills so that they can contribute to the groups in which they belong. Group members may assume any one of a number of leadership roles. such as someone who helps keep the group on the task at hand o r helps listen to and summarize what others have said, or resolves confiicts or keeps the moral of the group positive.

UB researchers find gum-lung disease link By LOIS BAKU! Contributing tditor HRONIC lung-disease sufferers should be especially fastidious about brushing and nossing their teeth. That is the message delivered in a study just published in the }oumal of Periodontology conducted by VB oral biologists. The researchers found an associa· ti on between chronic respiratory disease and periodontal di~ in an analysis of data from a large na tional database, the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, known as NHANES Ill. The results add to a growing body of evidence that poor oral health is linked to a number of chronic djseases. Frank Scannapieco, associate professor of oral biology in th• School of Dental Medicine and lead author C or the study, said the mechanism linking oral health and lung disease isn't dear, but that bacterla in the mouth likely are to blame. ''Accumulation of disease-causing o rganisms associated with gum disease may increase the risk for seri ous lower-respiratory-t ract infection in susceptible subjects," said Scannapieco. .. It is possible that bacte.ria that normally stick to the teeth a re sloughed into the saliva and may b. breathed into the upper airways, changi ng rhat environment and paving the way for other germs to infect the lower airways. Oral conditions likely work together with other factors., such as smoking, en· vironmental pollutants, allergies and genetics. to make existing lung problems worse~ Scannapieco's earlier work with pneumonia in hospitalized patients suggested a potential association between respiratory diseases and poor oral health, and led him to investigate whether such a relation ship exists in the gtneral population. For the analysis, he used data from 13,79 2 participants in NHANES lll who w.r• at least 20 years old and had at least six naturalteeth. Questionnaires completed by participants included items about their history of respiratorydistas<. The physical examination measured each person's forced expiratory volum• (FEV 0), or how much· air a person can blow out in one second , a measur< of lung health and function. A dtn!al examination assessed the loss of gum anachment supporting the teeth, amount of gum bleeding, number of cavities lljld number of teeth. .' Analyzing thesc: two sets of data for a rdationship, tht researchtrs found that lung function appeaml to diminish as tht amount of gumattachmtnt loss increased. R<sults also showed a decline in respiratary function as oral health worsened. "We aren't saying that if you don"t brush, you'U develop lung disease," saicl Scannapieco. "Wt'ruaying that if you already have hingdisease, taking care of your teeth and gums is especially important.

I base much of my argument for downgrading--at least to the university's former Division Ill stalus-on the recently published book. "The Game of ufe," by James L Shulman and Wdliam G. Bowen (Princeton University Press). The authors are officers of the MeUon Foundation, and Bowen is a former Princeton University president. "The Game of Ufe" is an analysis of the effects ofintcrooUegiatr sporu al 32 ooUeges at which admission is "genuindy competitive." Among the wide range of schools are a number with which UB would lik< to be compared.among them Midligan, North Carolina, Stanford and the four "Ivies." The findings are disturbing. The authorll describe varsity ath letes forming a distinct society, scparatr from other undergraduat<s. They rate far below their classmates in academic aptitude and achievement. Also, they differ strikingly in values. They often define themscM:s in nonacademic ..jock rulturc"tenns. Bul whal of the purported benefits lo the schools of their athletic programs? This studydiscredits the standard litany of claims. II cites, for example, the University of Michigan, where in the 1998-99 academic year, the football team drew an average of JUSI under III ,OOOfanspergameand won th e Citrus Bowl. The school's other teams did wcU, too, with the men's gymnastic team winning the national championship. But the ath letic departmenl lost S3.8 million tha1 yt.-ar. Imagine the costs to us losers. Further. at most of lhc schools studied, recruited at:hJetes do not increase racial or socioeconomic di.ersity and athletes do not assum< leadership roles "after graduation. And <'ml winning teams do not lead to greater alumni giving, with many of the gifu that are rteciv<d designatrd soldy for athletics. What aboul us at -this university? Currently, we find ourselves in a league with distant schools, several of them not of the academic caliber to which we aspire. The associal«< travel costs arc vcrysubstantial.lf we return to competing with local and regional schools, we would not only save monq, but in the process incr~ the attendance, interest and commitment of both participants. Consider an alternative use of the doU... that go into athletics This university supports a fine Honors Program that brings to campus very bright Sludents. Imagine how much more that underfunded and underpublicized program could accom plish given the resources currently focused on athletes. But what about the university's al ready large investment in athlet· ics? Great! Now we have Division IA facilities. We can make these fa ci lities available to scudenu who meet the academic standards of this institution-true scholar-athletes. In the process we can save moneythe salaries and perks of coaches alone already are at an embarrassing level when compared to those of other facu lry-and retrieve for academic purposes facilities taken over by the athletic department. I do not offer thi.1i recommcnda · tion because of the university's cur- rent abysmaJ record in a frw ma_tOr sports. but that poor rerord, 1ogether with the fact thai we have not y<t generated public support for our pro- gram,provide a real opportunily thai will not be open to us later. Consider in this regard the case of Swarthmore, which tri<d to downgrade after a long history of high-level participation. Nothing doing, responded the alumni. Thank goodness, we have noi y<t reached thao soage. In the larger framework, l-am appalled at the professionatization of what used to be amateur athletics. We sec athletic directors leading college presidents a round by their noses, didatinga litany of rules that further extend the control of athJet ics within each coUege community. FinaUy, l thai I hold no ani mus toward my colleagues inathis university's Division ofAthletics. During my 36 yea" here, I have known no"' many, and those I know I hold in high regard. In particular, I believe that this university's current coaching staff, successful or not, is mo~ than a rut above those I observe dscwhcre, both locally and nalionaUy. Also, I like sports and have written as a former participan1 in school and ooUege athletics.And I admit that,ovcrthestrung opposition of re>pected ooUeagues, I voted ln favor of our "upgrading" to Division 1-A Now, as I observe the can=-like growth of professionalized athletics on campus.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

PPORTERS of US's proposed Center o[Excdlcna: in ioinfonnatics (Informatics) are headed 10Aibanyon Tuesday to bring lawmakers up to speed on the weU-deserved reputation UB has as a heavyweight in computing technology. Proponents of the plan-which aims to bolster Western New York's economy with the creation of thou · sands of new jobs--are eager to advance their aggressive agenda for this year's "UB Day," which comes on the heels of Gov. George Pataki's announcement in his Jan. 3 .. State of the State" add ress that US is one of only three sites designated for il high -tech research center. "US-Leading Computing Technology for the 21st Century" will b< the theme or the day. which will see teams ofsome 60 ad.mi.nistrators, fac • ulty and staff members, students and alumni attending nearly 50 l<gislative appointments. Meetings with Paiaki, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver also are scheduled, and the da)• will conclude with a 5:30p.m. recep tion in the well of the Legislative Offir£ Building. which between 200 and 300 people are expected to attend. .. I think it's going to be something unique in Albany," said Janet Penksa, associate vice president for univer sity services and director of govern · ment affairs, notmg that a maJOr objective of UB Day is to dimini~h the distance that existS-both figu · ratively and literally-between tht" university and the capital .. US needs that senous recogm · tion," she said. "People in Albany do not know what th1s university has to offer, (and) this is a prime oppor· tunity to get them to understand why the govemot chose U B." The proposed center would pro vide state-of- the-art facilities and equipment for the unaversity and ill! industry panners, w1th an empha SIS on supercomputmg, vJsua liz.'l uon and neuroirnaging as it rdatt.~ to bioinformatics, a sCience con u:rncd wuh the mterpretat10n ol vast amounts of Human (and o tht:r speCies) genome data.

" I think it 's hurting us not to be a little bit more outgoing on our own achi('vements."

Fuda pointed out that the need for programs in computational physics has become dear in recent years. "Computational physics is now an important sub-fidd of physics," he said, noting that the Division of Computational Physics has been part of the American Physical Society since 1986. .A.nd while physics in the past had been thought of as being divided into two complementary aspects-theoretical and experimental-it now is common among sitions with comJ>anies that devdop educational sorr.:.r., including that for phySics courses, as well ·as positions on Wall Street.

Lead author Adnan I. Qureshi, assistant professor of neurosurgery, and coUeagues·found an association bet,.fccn frequent cocaine use and heart attack in this age group. but not between cocaine USl' and stroke. "These findings indicate that changing behavior surrounding cocaine usc, through public awarenes.s and education, may reduce the in · cidence of cardiovascular diSl'ase in younger persons." Qureshi said. Previous researchers had re ported cases of heart attack and stroke in persons who had used cocai ne within the previous hour. Given the increase in cocaine use 0 among young adults in the U.S., th< UB researchers undertook an extensive investigation of the possible relationship. Researchers aren't sure how cocaine might increase the chances of having a non-fatal heart attack or strokr, Qureshi said "W< know that cocaine US< increases th< ~Is of th< neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine at nerve terminals, which in turn increases heart rate, ventricular contraction and the heart's demand for oxygen. .. Cocaine may also constrict blood vessels and increase platel~t aggregation.ln addition, it has been shown to accelerate arteriosclerosis in young patients. Since regular, but not infrequent, use of cocaine was associated with an increased risk in o ur study, our results seem to support this latter mechanism," he said. The r=archers used data from th< most r<a:nt National H<alth and Nutrition Examination Survey ( NHANES Ill) in th<ir analysis.

For their analysis of the association with hean attack and strokr risk, UB researchers limited their study population to th< 18-45 age group, which captured all but 25 cocaine users and resuh<d in a study base of I0,085. The study group was divided into thrtt • user groups": never, infrequent and frequent , which indud<d anyone reponing using the drug from I 0 to mort: than 100 times.

In addition to reading their own work, festival participants took pan in translation workshops involving Spanish, English and French materials. The workshops. propos«! by our group, were an attempt to engage other writers one-on-one, to encourage the developmertt of personal connections. Perhaps the best pan of the festival came late in each day, when partiCipants headed out to cafes to continue discussions that had begun during the translation workshops. Festival panicip;m ts agreed it was a unique rvmt. but now are tryirlg to determineClOIC!iywhyit was unique an d what it means to have pariicipated.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

This will involve the pro· curement of new funding and the creation and developm~nt of new programs to help prepare low-income, fi rst-generation, collegebound, disadvantaged students for college and university life. C•n you tell me • little •bout the different progr•ms th•t f•ll under the OUPP umbrell•7 How does OUPP fit In with the unlvenlty's publicservice mlsslon7 OUPP is designed to improve the ability of students to succeed in high school and increase th e ac cess to post-secondary education. Geared to high school students, this office provides a unique service to the community through edu cat ion and training. OUPP also interacts with other universit y programs and departments, such as those in the College of Aru and Sciences, to inc r eas~ access to higher education, especially for minority, historically under-represented, at-riSk and economically disadvantaged st udenu. UB has formed a unique partnership with several community-based.organizations and various public and independent schools to provide an educational support program for !)'Iiddle and high school students at risk of dropping out of school before graduation. The Liberty Partnership Program (LPP ) is d~ signed to provide students with \a broad range of services and activi ties aimed at increasing their motivation and ability to graduate from high school and go on to col· lege. The Science and Technology Enri chment Program-also known as STEP-is an educational-enrichment program that p rovides instruction, training and counseling services to students in grades 7 through 12 who are his· toricaiJy under- r~presented in the scienc~ . t~chnology, health and health - related professions. Th~ program expands upon activities that g~nerate the skills and motivation necessary to pursue pr~­ professional or ""professional education program s of study among minorities and disadvantaged stu dents. The Upward Bound Pro· gram at U B was established in 1967 as an eight-week hjgh school· tb-college transitional service for also have developed the Executive Director Leadership Team, the Executive Difector Programs Team and the Ex ecutive Director Administra tive Support Team. The team approach is an effort to communicate knowledge to serve the community and university. low-income and disadvantaged students. In 1969, the program expanded its service to include high school studenu between 13 and 19 years of age. Concq>tually, the Upward Bound Program at the university was designed to increase the number of disadvantaged stu· d<nu with demonstrated potential to enroll in and graduate from in stitutions of higher education. The Upward Bound Math/Science J!e. gional Center offers a six-week summer residential program of intensive study and hands-on research experiences in mathematics and science to students from New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands who excel academically. University faculty and researcherS collaborate with the program .to develop curricu lum, instruct courses and direct internships.

Venom shows promise for heart attacks By LOIS BAKER Contribu ting Editor A specific protein ISOlated fmmthc..·vcnomof a Chil ean tarantula by UB biophysicists shows promise as the basis for n('W drugs for prevent ing atriaJ fibrillation, the chaotic lx.oating of the hC3rt that is a major cause of death foUowing a heart attack. In a st udy published th is monlh in Nature, Frederick Sachs, professor of physiology and biophysics. along .....-ith researchers from Georgetown University, report they were able to prevent atrial fibrillation in rabbit hearts by an infusion of a peptide lsolated from tarantula venom. This is the first tim e th at the.· physiologi cal function of' mechanosensitive ion channels has hcen demonstrated in the heart. The work is an example of how basic research can lead to clinical payoffs, Sachs stated . "No o ne in their right mind would have sought to block atrial fibriJiation with spi· der spit,'" he said. "We did it backwards. Since we had found venom worked on single molecules, we predicted it would aJso work on cells. tissues and organs. And it did. "This is a first step toward devel · oping a new class of drugs that may called stretch -activated chan nels. These channels, which derive their name from the fact that stretching the ceiJ membrane causes them to open, are responsible for regulating the mechanical functioning of cells. Sachs and colleagues discovered these channels al UB in 1983 in skeletal muscle cells. Stretch-activated channels have result of poor blood perfusion, cdls swell, stimulating strC'tch-activatcd channels to open and allowing an influx of positive ions..

W two year. ago by Mark Hotber, an educationa.l development counselor for AAM 's plants who represents MFC at the company. Hotber was interested in setting up an on-site education program for associates Now in its second semester, the tnitiati ve scrvcs AAM 's Tonawanda Forge plant, with more than 800 associates, and the BuffaJo plant, with roughl y 2,000 associa tes-and plans are in the works to include !>O rne I 00 associate s at the company's newes t faci lit y in C heektowaga. With enrollment up to 62 from last semester, the pro- ~ gram has proven anything but for- ~ tuitous in its marriage of industry ~ and university. And while not new 1n higher educati on , the triad ofla hor, m a nagement and universit y is a singular presen ce in the Buffalo an:a, says Larry G ingri ch , assistant dean for co ntinuing education and summer sessions at MFC. Gingrich, who drew up the proposal. brings to the table a host of experiences 111 s u c h partner s hip s, having worked as director for continuing c.-. ducation at the Pennsylvania Sta te Univers it y o n similar p rojects with Hershey Foods Corp., IBM , AMP Int. and ot her companies. Part of AAM 's interest in bringmg UB into its workplace, G ingnch ex plains, was the product of changmg corporate hands. In 1994, Gen eral Motors sold off what now i.!! known as AAM 's Tonawotnda Forge and Buffalo plants. Man)' employ ees who were offered incentive pack ages retired, which in turn, provided opportunities for employment for o thers at the plants. "A lo t of the peopl<' who ca m"' in to repl ace them were yo un g," says Gi n grich. " Peopl e who ca mt· into th e pl a nt to wo rk the re n cvc..~r envisio ned working a t a manufac..' t uring plant. But m any of them have a n interest in furthering the1r educa tion."

"The very presence of these artists and thinkers. who arc known for stimulating creativity among people in many fields, speaks to the esteem in which the UB school is held in the intcrnationaJ architectural com mu - nity," he added "I hope thepub~c will take advantage of their visits here to see some extraordinary work... The series will open on Wednes - day with ..Architecture in the Public Realm ," a slide presentation by architect Mehrdad Yazdani, at 6:30 p.m. in the Albright Knox Gallery Auditorium, 1285 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo. The talk is made possible with suppcn from Cannon Design . A design principal at Quortmy. 1....... - 2000 SEFA Chair Lawrence . Shulman (far left) presents the new Robert M. Bennett Cup, awarded to the School of Social Work for greatest increase in new dollars, to . school liaison Charles Syms (second from left). Wayne Anderson and Rose Mary Madejski of Pharmacy hold the Chair's Cup, awarded for greatest increase in participation . · CannonDwor.ky Design in Los Angdes, Yazdani has focused on the ere· ation of a new generation ofstructures in the public domain. Over tl)<' past six year>, he has designed mo'* than 20 award·winningstructwes, many of which feature big, decisive strokes that carrythecksign. They includ< a m<tro station in Santa Monica whose stunning entranc:r is monumentalized by a massive---but elegant--.,Jiiptical cantil~ canopy that illuminates a 20,QOO.square-foot plaza. The series will continue at 5:.30 p.m. Feb. 14 in 148 Diefendorf Hall on the South Campus with a slide lec·1 lure, ..Space In Between," presented by Austrian architect Hugo Dworzak. the Peter Banham Fellow in th e School of Architecture and Plannii.Jg for 2000-0 I. Since most information on o-.,rzak's work is in German, this presentationWill afford the audience a ra re opportunit y to familiarize themselves with his work, which pri· mariiy involves the design of dwell ings in com plex topographic and community setti nga. Dwon..ak has received intemationaJ attention for his creative interpretation of site and context, and inventive use of new materials and techniques. A generous, anonymous donation will make possible a talk tilled "Weight Wait" by Princoton·trained architect Tod W~Iiams, principal in one of the most talked-about design studiOs in the country. He will speak at 5:30p.m. Feb 28 in 148 Diefendort. Williams' buildings, writings and teachings are based on the examination of the physical and philo- sophical natures of construction. In 1986, Williams co-founded Tod Williams Billie Tsien Associates and th e New York-basea studio si nce has produced a number of highly acclaimed works, including the Neuroscience Institute at La Jolla, Calif.; the Museum of An in Phoenix, Ariz., and most recently, the Natatorium at the Cranbrook Academy of the Arts in Michigan. Williams was named a fellow of the American Institu te of Architects in 1992. .. Irrational Exuberance" is the title of a talk to be given by awar<j-winning archi.tyc;t and a rti st tyiark Robbins at 5:30 ·p.m. March 21 in 148 Diefendorf.

Their slide address is scheduled to talc< place at 5:30 p.m.April6 in 148 Diefendorf, but Kleinman says that if the site is finished, the lectu"' likdy will christen the school's new lecture hall in 302 Crosby Hall on the South CamP!"- The lecture hall's exhilarating and daring design is the product of a team effort by the school's faculty and students. The Diller + Scofidio approach to architecture, wrote critic Aaron Betsky, "moves beyond traditional tice in 1986, he worked for the architecture finns ofSOM New York, Jam es Polshek and Partners, and Emilio Ambasz.

In addition, Turk.kan noted, the four participating institutions have long histories o f collaboration that indude formaJ memoranda and faculty with joint appointments.

To begin with, the Incredible amounts of data that a re generated genes, the facility provides a boon to researchers investigating which of the 100,000 human genesareactivt in a given cell or tissue. • Pharmaceutical Science: Pioneeringwork in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Scknces led to the development of the field of pharmacodynamics, which is the study of how drugs affect cells and tissues as a function of time and concentration.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The possible visit is "our most recent rationale to pursue all measu res that will yield positive improve ments." said Michael Dupre, associ- ate vice president for univmiity facili- ucs, which houses the Department of Occupatio nal and Environmental Safety.

Study links cancer risk to insulin resistance Breast-cancer risk also related to higher-than-normal sex hormones in bloodstream By LOIS BAllER Contributing Edil~H U NIVERSITY research- ers have confi rmed a sig nifi cant link be tween breaSt · ca.ncer risk and physical charactcrist ics of insulin resistance and highcr· than normaJ male and female sex hormones in a woman's bloodstream . The study, lead by Paola Muti, associate professor of social and preven· tive medicine. appeared in a recent issue of Cancer Gmses and Comrols.

Just how current varies., of course. from professor to professor. AI UB,oneprofeSsor'sresearchled him to de..!op and teach last semester~ world's first aadcmic course in a new technique called combinatorial chemistry that has taken the pharmaceutical industry by storm. Co mbinatorial chemistry is a chemical-synthesis technique where hundreds or even thousands of new U chemical compounds are synthesized at once. Compared to traditional methods, it allows medicinaJ chemists to discover new drugs at what seems like warp speed. That kind of speed is particularly imponant, say scientists, in Ught of the many new drug targets envisioned now that the human genome has been sequenced. But a major stumbUng blockthe lack of chemists trained to }X'rform the technique-is preventing companies from fully exploiting it. According to David Hangauer, professor o( medicinal chemistry in the Dcparunent of Chemistry in the Co llege of Arts and Sciences, the technique is so new that most chemISts learn it on the job, and few aca demic scientists are familiar enough with it to teach a who le course. Hangauer ca me to know that from the research he was doing with some key companies. "Thro ughout the pharmaceutical and biotech indust ries. it has be· com e increasingly dear in recent years that there just aren't enough chemists trained in combinatorial chemistr y," sa id Hangauer, who worked at Merck & Co. for 10 years prior to joining the UB faculty. " I know of one major pharma ceutical firm that actually built a new building to fill with people who could do combinato rial chemistry ' and they just couldn't hire enough skilled people;· he said. Another major firm had begun its (( • 1 own in·house tutorial session for its chemists. but that turn ed out to be a n extremely ex· pen sive proposi ti o n , as well as a temporary dragon com· pany prod~ctivity. "Oearly, it was time for academia to start turning out chemistry graduates with these Pills."said Hangauer. But an intensive search on the Web and conversations with various colleagues in industry and at universities revealed that there werm't any courses out there in combina· torial chemistry. "Even institutions that had organized their own research cc:nters in combinatorial chemistry had not opted to stan leaching courses in it," he said. So Hangauer, who describes him self as particularly interested in the synergies between research and teaching, staned his own. Because th e course trul y is groundbreaking, the Camille and" Henry Dreyfus Special Grant Pro· gram in the C hemical Sciences awarded Hangauer a $50,000 grant to establish a training laboratory for the course. An additional $15,000 in matching funds was provided by the Office of the Provost. According to the te rm s o ( Hangauer's Dreyfus grant, he is required to disseminate information o n the co urse t o o ther fa c ult y thro ugh articles in the Journal of Chemical Education and through extensive posting of course material o n the Web. The aim: to encourage other universities to begin teach mg similar courses. At UB, both undergraduate and graduate sect io ns quickly tilled to capacity. .. Demand for the course is as high as we can handle," said Hangauer. who noted that he and other UB fac· ulty members have several research agreements in place with phaml3CCU· tical and bio tech companies wh ere they are using the technique to develop libraries of new compounds. "As the need accelerates. both un - dergraduates and graduate student.o. at UB that have had both the lee tu re cour~ and the lab 1.11 combma · torial chemistry shouJd be very at tractive potential employees (or the pharmaceutical and biotech industries," he said. [ A related course. "Struaure-based Design of Ligands and Combinatorial Libraries."that Hangauerteaches provides an intensive theoretical foundation in combinatoriaJ chem· istry.lt, too. is beli.,e<f to be the Imt offered by an academic institution. .. The two courses go hand - m hand ," said Hanga ue r... The first teaches you how to design the com - binatoriallibraries. while the second teaches you how to synthesize the libraries." The availability of these cou rses at UB couJd translate into regional economic benefits fo r Western New Yo rk as weU. ( "We hope that by offering these courses to our students and in developing a locally trained workforce with this unique set of skills, West· em New York will become an even more attractive locatio n fo r phJrmaceutical and biotech startups," Hangauer said. The availability of these courses at UB, in addition tO"a rap1dJy growmg r~a rch program in combinatorial chemist ry, also has put the university in a strong position as it competes for state and federal do llars allocated to exploit the new in formatio n revealed by tht· human genome project and ot her advances in mo lecu lar and struct ural biology.

The series began on Tuesday with a screening of the silent-fUm classic, "The Big Parade" ( 1925), di rected by King Vidor. which has been caJied the first great realistic war movie and John Gilbert's great est starring role. The rest of the semester's lineup, with film descriptions culled from the seminars' Web site, < http:/I www . ac:su. buff•lo . edu / - bf..:luon/ schedspr2001 .html>: • Jan. 23: "Gold Diggers of 1933: 1933, di rected by Mervyn LeRoy. This film fea tures great chorus girls (Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Gi nger Rogers), the G reat Depression ( played by itsel f), great so ng s ("We're In the Money"),great Busby Berkeley numbers. the great Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee and Ned Sparks. and, at the end, a sou~on of realit y. A great movie. • Jan. 30: " Bridr of Frankenstein: 1935, directed by James Whale. Star· ring Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester (great as Mary Shelley and the sil· ver-haired bride) and Colin Clive, the macabre film .. is generally con - A stdercd o ne of th e greatest horror films of all time-a spee1acular. b1· zarre, high-camp, excessive, humo rous. farcacal and surrealisti c film ," writes critic Tim Dirks. • Feb. 6: "Exterminatin~gel." 1962, directed by Luis Bunuel. This grand bourgeois dinner party was concdved by the greatest surrealist filmmaker during his second selfimposed c:xile &om Franco's Spain. He cooked it up between two other great films: "Vtridiana" (1960) and "Belle de Jour" ( 1967). Christian and Jackson call this film their "fa vorite among the four great films about dinner"-the others bein! "I.e Grand Bouffe,"" Babette's Feast and .. My Dinner with Andre:." • Feb. 13: Spring Double Feature Night with " lvan the Terrible, Pan I"( 1943) and " Jvan theT<rrible,Pan lJ" ( 1946), both directed by Sergei Eisenstein. Well, so maybe: not a real double featu re. While Eisenstein conceived these two films as a whole, he experienced a three-year hiatus between the two parts and Stalin's displeasure at the portrayal oflvan's secret police held l!p public release of Pan U for another 12 years. " Ivan the Terrible" is, as Leonard Maltin puts it , "film spectacle of the highest order." • Feb. 20: • Bicycle Thieves," 1947, directed by Vittorio de Sica. A poo r Ita lian spends long days seeking work. A job turns up for someone with a bicycle. He's got a bike, he gets the job, he rejoices. The bike is stolen. With his young son, he spends his Roman weekend looking for it. Simple, huh? It'll break your heart. When "Bicycle Thieves" came out, the Academy of Motio n Picture Arts and Sciences had no category for best foreign film, so it gave this film a special Academy Awa rd . Long on Sight 6- Sound's greatest-films-of-all-time list, this masterpiece of Italian neorealism was re-released last year, which is why it has been included in thesen es. The film often is referred to as " The Bicycle Thief," but that's a mistranslation of the Italian title ("l.adri di bicidette" ) and obscures what the movie is aJJ about. • Feb. 27 "Les Enfants du paradis," 1945, directed by Marcel Ca rn t. One of the greatest films about theater ever made. A.nd alsout Jove triangles. The title usually is translated "Children of Paradise: but more properly i ~s "Children of the Gods," the people who occupy the worst seats in the theater, the segment of the audienu most vocal in its praise or displeasure. A "timeless maS\<rpiece of filmmaking (and storytelling) ; writes Leonard Maltin, focusing on a rough-andtumble theatrical troupe in 19th«ntury France. Barrault plays the hopelessness." • March 20: "Once Upon aTune in the West." 1968,directed by Leone. The so -called "spaghetti westerns" didn't just revive a genre that was then moribund in Ainerica; they also helped the rest of us ~­ derstand what westerns were all about. No European filmmaker un derstood them better than Sergio . Leone, first with his Oint Eastwood man -with-no-name triJogy and then with "Once Upon a Tune in the W<!>t," which some critics consider not only Leone's masterpiece but also one of the greatest ....wns <><r made. • March 27: "The Last Picture Show," 1971, directed by Peter Bogdanovich. This is ..American Graffiti " set in Larry McMurtry's West Texas hometown, with a lot Jess rock and roll and a lot more insight and soul. · ~ Last Picrure Show" probably is Bogdanovich's best film. The picture received eighi Academy Award nominations and garnered two wins. • April 3: "The French Conn«: tion ," 1971. directed by William Fried.ltin. This film received eight Oscar nominations and recorded wins for best actor, director, editing, picture and screenplay. Based on a real -life, New York City narcotics ~.this picture is one of filmdom's great cops-and-bad-guys films. and features one of the two all -timegreat film car chases-the other was in Peter Yates' .. Bullitt" • April 10: " The Man Who mime whose unfulfilled passion for Would be King," 1975, directed by the free -spirited Arletty dominates John Huston. Huston was the most his life, even when he achieves great literary of American film directors, fame on stage.

Burnett made this as his graduate film in the UClA film school for about SI 0,000 when he was 23 years old. The ac · tors are people he knew in his own Watts neighborhood. • Apiil24: "Ran," 1985, directed by Akira Kurosawa. Kurosawa's version of Shakespeare's " King Lear," set .in medieval Japan, is one of the aU time great film epics. Critic Roger Ebert calls it .. a great , glorious achievement." The film was pulled from circulation .several years ago and was unavailable until last sum ~ mer, when five new prints with a remast~~ soundtrack and newly translated and more readable subtitles WttC made available for distribution. This screening will be the first time the new version of fatales, low-life gangsters, expressionistically lit nighttime scenes, a Kurosawa's masterpiece has been vengeful qud( and a dark mood of shown in the Buffalo area. s..Po �January 18.2001/Vol.3Uulli Rep a riea B y - y R .

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

CCR to test next-generation chip SGI selects UB as one of three sites to participate in "next wave ofsupercomputing" By EUDI &OlDBAUM Contributing Editor A new era in supercom - puting has arrived at VB. one of just three sites in the world selected by SG ito beta-test Intel's next -gen eration chip, the new Itanium processor. T he o ther sites are the O h io Supercomputing Center in Colum bus and the Univel"6ity of Manch ~ ­ ter in the United Kingdom. "This is the next wave of superco mputing," said Russ Miller. professor of romputer'Science and en- gineering. and director of the Center for Computational R<scarch (CCR). CCR is conducti n g the tests in dose cooperat.ion with SG l, which has integrated the Itaniwn processors into a PC-Imed system; CCR scientists are netWOrking the PCs together to create a small dwtcr-based systtrn. .. The ltanium, Intel's next -generation chip, represents not just a dramat.ically more powerful chip even - tually etpable of performing compu- tations almost an order of magnitude faster than the current Pentium Ill," said Miller,"but it also is the first time that mass-marketed chips. known as commodity processors. will be wed in su percomputers." The ltanium is expected ult imate ly to displace the current Penti um processor in a wide range of computing applications. "Eventually, this is going to drive the costs of supercomputing way down," said Miller... Unlike previous supercomputers that were expensive due to proprietary, special -purpose hardwart' and software, these systems will rcly on commodity processors. commodity software and new gen erations of hardware and software to connect these processors." The choice of UB as one of on ly three beta-sites worldwide refl ects the breadth and depth of CCR'> r< · search focus, part.icularly in modem structural biology, said MiiJer. It also reflects the center's cxten sivc experience with cluster rom pu t· ing, where scientists duster together anywhere from a few to m any rom modity~based computers in order to achieve--or surpass--the power of a singk superoomputer at s.ignificant cost savings. CCR scicntiru have cre- ated dusters ba5ed on Alpha proctssors. Pentium processors and Spare processors. among others, connected with a variety of netWOrks. A key test for the new ltanium technology at a:R will be how it perfonns with SnB, the protein -structure software of choice used by more than SOO drug-design-and -rest.<lrch labs that was d<."Veloped by sc.enusts at CCR and Hauptman-Woodw.~rd Medical Research Institute. Sn B. based on the "S hake-a nd - Bake" algorithm developed by Nobel laureate Herbcn Hauptman, has lx·· l:ome a critical tool fo r determining atomic or near-atomic structun.cos for hiomedicallyimponant mok-cuJcs.lt IS expected to gain even wider use now that the human genom<.> ha~ tx-en sequenccri and sat·nusts havc millions of gene s~ructures to solve. "SoB is a computationally in ten ~ sive p rogram that has been tailored to run on a wide variety of plat forms." said Miller. "Therefore. we arc able to use the program to evaluate the relative power of many different computer platforms." Miller said CCR is ..stressing" the ltanium-based system in order to evaJuate the performance of univer sity-developed codes and to evaluate S(~r·s Fortran and Crompilen. which takr codes wrinen by computer SCI · cnt1.!.15 and translate them into lan guag~ machmes Gtn understand.

But amid speculation about the fate of eToys, Amazon.com and Priceline.com, one prominent toy manufacturer quietly has staked a claim on the Internet, arousing the suspicion of the big bricks-and mortar retail•rs. says Arun K.

Mattei, the nation's largest toy manufacturer, has begun selling many of its Barbie products over the Internet. at Barbie.com, and is evm producing direct-mail cataloguesinitiatives that Jain says puts the company in direct competition with its four bigsest rrtail partnen: Wai-Mart, Toys "R" Us, K-Mart and Target.

Otherwise, Jain says, the ~ers could "punish" the toy mak<r by offering it less shelf space, understoclting its products or by not featuring Mattei products in sales promotions. "'Mattei should never compete with the retailers on price, that would be Suicidal:: says Jain. "But there is great potential for Mattei and other manufacturers to use the Web to sell their products. "'The challenge is to assign the Web a correct strategic role that doesn't undermine traditional channels of distribution," he says, "For manufacturers, the Web is best used as a vehicle for communication, rdationship building and serving hard-to-reach segments." In the future, Jain envisions that Mattei and other manufactur<:rs will use the Web as a simulated play area to launch toys that require effort on the part of the consumer to appreciate the toy's full entertainment value.

BESITY in children has reached epidemic pro· ponions in the, United States, a fact that has motivated researchers to discover how best to tr<at overweight chi!dren, as weU as prev<nt th<m from becoming so in the first place. "Today, on< out·offour children is considered clinically obesedouble th< number 20 years ago." explains L<onard H. Epst<in,professor of pediatrics and psychology, and one ofth< country's leading<:>:p<rts on childhood obesity. Epstein, who has studied obesity for the past two d«:ad<s, is head of UB's Childhood Weight Coqtrol Program, a res<arch program that combines di<t, <xercis< and behavior modification to help children reduce their weight and maintain a normal weight 1b< com<rston< of this program is the Stoplight Di<t, which was dev<lop<d by Epstein in the 1970s and is used widely today by pediatricians across the country. Th< diet teaches children proper nutrition by linking foods to th< three signals on a traffic tight high· ealori< foods ar< red and should be <at<n rarely; moderate-calorie foods are yellow and can be eaten in moderation, and low-ealorie foods are grem and can be eaten fr«ly. Epstein says obesity carries the sarne risks for children as it does for adults: an increase in health probIems that in dud< diabetes mellitus, hypenension and high cholesterol. Obese children ar< at higher risk of becoming obese ad ults. "Obese children who become obese adults have a very difficult time losing weight and maintaining a normal weight; only a very small p<rcentage are successful over the long run. So most researchers fed the best hop< is to catch kids early and try to pr<v<nt th<m from becoming overweight adults," he says. 0 As pan of their ongoing effon to devise ways to "catch kids early," Epstein and his group are conduct· ing a study aimed at better understanding how sedentary behaviors can br modiMd to tr~t and preven1 obesity in children. In work fu~ed by aS 1,050,688 grant from the Na tiona! Institute of Child Health and Human Devdopment (NICHHD) of the NationallnstitutesofHea\th, the rcs<arch<rSar< int<r<stedsp<cilicaUy in discovering ways to modify sedentary behaviors that are esp<cially popular among children : watching television, playing video games and surfing th< lnt<mCL In describing th< stair-step ap· proach h< and his group have tal= over the past 20 years to arrive at their current focus on sedentary behaviors, Epst<in explains that the team's first studi~ in the <arly 1980sat th< Uru-sltyofPinsbutgh--<lemonsted tbe dlicacy of treating a child ond his or her family together, versus just treating th< child separately. From there, Epstein's group foCUS<d its attention on trying to un· derstand th< role of pbysieal activity in treating obesity. A review of the titeratur< suggested that lots of people wbo begin exercise programs do not maintain than, he says, As a result, his group develop«! th< idea of" lifestyle <:xercis<." Instead of trying to g<t people to adher< to a very high-intensity=cis< program, lif<Styl< aercis< en· courages changes in everyday behaviors, suCh as parking fanher from a store entrance arid walking. In the early 1980s, Epstein's group completed the first randomiud study done on a lif<Style-=:rcis< program and danonstraJed that this approach works better than traditional exerris<. By the mid-1980s, Epstein's re· search had resulted in the creation ofinnovativeaercis<anddictmodelssp<cilicallygeared totrntingobesity in the pediatric population. "About that tim<, however, we startedtom:ogniuthat<vl:llthough lif<St)'l< aercis< and di<t were =r useful, lots of kids still pr<fm-ed being sedentary, so then we started to look at the competition-and the competition, of OOUrK, was te~Ni· sion," recounts Epstein. This realization was based on ~ ne<ringworkbeingoonducttdatthal time by two Harvard raearch<rS, Wtlliam H.

Based on Di<tz and Gortmaker's studi<S, F.pstt:in becam< int<rested in th< idea of behavior-choice theory, and in the <arly 1990s, h< and his group began a S<tiesofstudi<s aimed atbetterunckrstandinghowsedentary behaviors can be mndifi<d within the contcn of this theory to treat and praomt childhood ob<sity. Again. th< sedentary behavior th< r<searcher. were particularly int.<rested in studying was television vi<wing. "Behavioral-choice throryr<eogniles that kids have a choice bdw«n two incompatibi< behaviors-they can either be active, or they can be sedentary," <:xplains Epstein. "Th<r<· for<, we started to look at understanding how people allocate choice-how they decide to do things-<md in working with behavioral-choic< throry, on< of the obvious things suggest«! by it is that if two things ar< incompatible. you can either reinforce the on< you want, or you can reduce a = to it" Subsequently, Epstein S<t up a studycomparingweightlossbetw<m thr« groups: on< r<infoi'Cell fur an increas< in <:xetcise; a second for a decrease in sedentary activity, and a third for a combined approach.

In addition, the findings suggest that men and women who abuse marijuana could overload this natu ral cannabinoid-signaling system that regulates sperm structure, vigor and fertility. Herbert Schu e), professor of anatomy and ccU biology and lead author, will present results of theresearch on Tuesday at th e annual me<ting of the American Society for CeUBiology in San Francisco. Collaborating on the research were !.ani Burkman and jack uppes ofUB and coUeagues from the Uni· versityofConnecticut, Eastern Virginia M<dieal School and Univer.;ity of California at Irvine. A The study presents the first evi dence that anandamide exists in human seminaJ plasma, mid-cycle oviductal fluid and follicular fluid, and can regulate directly the human sperm's ability to feniliu an egg. "Th<se findings suggest that defects in the cannabinoid receptorsignaling system could account for certain typ<s of infertility," Schuel said . ..'A bcner understanding of th<se mechanisms might lead to the development of drugs usefuJ in reproductive medicine. For heavy marijuana users, the results raise the possibility they ar< jeopardizing fertility by overloading this system." A receptor for cannabinoids was found in the human brain in the late 1980s. Thislindingsuggestedthatthe body must produce its own ch<mical version oflliC to activate thest receptors, and a substance called anandamide was found to ~ that chemieal. Schue! and collaborators were the first to report cannabinoid n=ptors in sperm. using sea urchins as a mod<!, and that anandamide also activated thOS< n=ptors. The r<gulatory m<chanisms that prepare sperm to f<rtilize"l!S' remain, for the most pan, a scimtific mystery. Human spenn are bathed in male reproductivt"-tract secretions whm they are ejaculated into the female's vagina, and are not irnrn<diately capable of f<rtilizing eggs. However, once exposed for several hours to S<· crctionswithin th< female reproductive tract, sperm become "capacitated" and can fertiliu "l!S'· Capacitated sperm exhibit a pattern of vigorous swimming called hyperactivated motility. When they bind to a specific protein in th< egg's surface coat, spenn can be stimulated to secret< enzymes that mabie them to penetrate the egg coat during fertilization, a secretory process calJed the acrosome reaction. "We know that sperm capacitation and fertilizing potential are tightly r<gulated within th< female reproductive tract," Schue! said. "We also know that the cannabinoid receptor found in th< human brain is express«! in th< human testis, and that "''andamid< is produced in the testi s.'and uterus of mammals. Within the uterus, anandamide r<gulates early development of the fertiliud egg. and d<tmnines wbere the embryo will implant to initiate pregnancy. Cannabinoids also affect this process,• h< not<d.

The history department offered nationally recognized doctoral progranu in Modem European. American and East Asian history. In the 1970s, the tum camewhich Mark Sbedtner in a .-..:ent article in In. Buffalo News described as thedismantlingofUB, which also was the dismantling of the SUNY system. While New York Slate in the 1960s was near the top among the 50 states in terms of the proportion of tax money going to higher education, by the late 19905, it was in 50th place. Within UB, the administration shifted resources from the liberal arts to schools and d<partments that generated money. Between 1972 and 2000, the full-time history staff was reduced from 38to 19. \',lbole fields were elintinated. Only two fields retained sufficient strength to offer meaningful doctoral programs: namely, American and modern European history.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The communit y partnerships are a strong element to the dynamics of bmh insti tutions. Understanding and working within those links can structure a strong alumn i-relation s program. Addi - tionally. the geographic makeup of the alumni base of each institution 1 ~ very simila r. An ove rwhelming majoriry of the alumni base lives within a sho rt drive of the institu uo n. However, a growing segment of the alumni base is moving away from the area. Therefore, to have a balance of regionaJ programs and activities is cruciaJ to those that occu r in the Buffalo area.

Are there spedfk w• ys that alumni c.wn foster the unl· venlty's missions of teaching, resean:h and public service1 Yes. Alumni relations, in the new generation, is an acuve and proactive venue to involve alumni in the life of an institution. It is not purcl)' a "social club," as it may have com monly been perceived in the past. Speci ficall y, teaching is an ongoing process. The alumni can foster and promote this in severaJ ways. One, alumni themselves can be used to "teach" not only cu~nt students but also alumni. For example, last s pring, the University Student Alumni Board (USAB ) put on a program called • Reality Check" in whi ch alumni came back a n d worked with students and discussed with them issues they will face after graduation. The research mission is a bit ·harder, but not impossible. At Boise State, we worked very closely with several departments to provide assistance and resources. Addition ally, we were able to connect depart ments with alumni that were conducting live research and bring it into the classroom. A service component also is an important part of o ur work and also is a \Ya Y to involve alumni. For example. our New York City C hapter participates each year in "New York Ca res." At Boise Stat e, we also took ~ rvi ce to man)' extreme~ by o n ce raising a tremen d o u ~ amount o f resources for area food banks, Habitat for Humanit y and many other ca uses. All of these activities arc d o ne in the name of universit )'. opportunit ies. I thmk our biggest hurdlf is that we are fai rly new at thi s game. Many of th e people I talked with are just staning to hear from us. They are grateful that we are there, but wonder where we have been for the past few decades. Therefo re, o ur biggest chaJlenge and opportunity is to go out and ~eintro­ duce ourselves.

Election ballots should be user-friendly Bisantz urges use ofhuman-factors principles in design ofpaper, machine ballots By ELLEN GOLDBAUM Con tributing Editor T HE same principles that ensure user-friendly designs in products ranging from refrigerato rs to comp uters to dashboards o n auto- mobiles should be applied to the de~ sign of bot h paper a nd m ach in e election ballots, according to a UB p rofessor of ind ustrial engineering. "No matter wh at the system is, you need to apply good design principles to it," said An n Bisantz,assistant professor of industrial engineering. ln the wake of the experience of Florida voters wh o complained about ballots used in some counties in this year's presidential election, she said that "some have charged that voters d idn't pay sufficient al'tention while they were casting their ballots. that maybe it 's aU just hu man error." Fi nd ing the root cause of h u man errors in a specific system is the fo cus of human -factors professionals like Bisantz. " If human the military. H uman-factors research focuses o n h elping wo rkers make better decisions in high- risk sectors. Application o f the same prin - e rrors can h a ppen in a co m p lex system like an aircraft w ith a ciples to the voting process, including a detailed testing of the design, highly skilled individual like systems contin ually revise their de~ an airli ne pi - lot," she noted, "they certainly can happen in a voting booth with a person who vot es once every four years or even less often." Bisantz rece nt ly rece ived a $300,000 grant from the Natio nal Science Foundat ion to st udy hu man dec ision ~ making in complex environments. such as manufacturing. aviat ion. transportation and would have n umerou benefits. according to Bisantz. Skilled designers of products and signs based on feedback they receive from tests conducted with potential, she poin ted out. "There are systematic ways to do these tests," she said. "To develop a good voting system, for example, you would test it with a good crosssection of voters in the country." She explained that a basic human ~ factors principle is that a good d e- sign should let the~rson who is in teracti ng with the p roduct or sys- tern identify and correct an error he or sh e has made before it becomes critical. "For example, a computerized sys ~ tern could ask a voter who had not cast a ballot for a specific office if they really had intended to leave that blank. Maybe it would ask, "You baV< not C35\ a vote for president; did you intend to vote for a president?" In addition to cognitive issues, she ad ded, with some voters there also may be physical challenges because both paper ballots and voting machines assume a cer tain level of manual dexterity. "You need to test the users," she stressed. "The issue of whether or not a ballot or voting madtine is easy to use is not a matter of opinion. This is something about which d ata can be collected. It can be empiri- cally tested and measured." �November 30.20illl!Ynt 32.No.1( Repo&'tea Photonics institute gets gift $100,000 donation from alum to fund new design concept BySUZANNlCHAMauauuN Reporter Contributor T djrector of the lnstitute for Lasers, ELEVISION and computer screens that would be lighter. brighter and thinner-that'' the goal behind a $100,000 donation to the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics from AKT Inc., the world 's leading supplier of CVD systems. processes and services to the flat -panel -display manufacturing mdustry.

UB's distance-learning maven shines By JfHNifU LEWANDOWSKI Rqxx!tr Assistant Edrtor L ISA Stephens doesn't strike you as the type who 's frazzled easily. A former technical dir«tor for ABC- lV in Chicago. Stepheru-now as· sociatedir«torfordist:ance-leaming operationsat US-is weU·v=ed in pressure situations of an immediate nature, and understands the kind of be!Und-the-=ncs mentality ne<dod to stay out of the fray while keeping operations as seamless as possible. "I'-. never had that happen before," Stephens says. smiling about a glitch rn setting up for the library and Infomlation Studies class that was to begin in less than 15 minutes in 200 Baldy Hall-one of three distance· learning classrooms at UB and a pre· mit-re classroom in New York State. Operations run smoothly in this mass conglomeration of technology that Stephens built with engineermg colleagues a few years ago, for this Monday afternoon class as well as all others. OveraU, she says. "we haven't had many breakdowns." Employed for nearly a decade at AIIC. Stephens was baptized by fire mto the frenetic media, working on live production in the nation's most competitive news market, as well as on ) how s such as "T he Oprah \Vinfrcy Show," "Good Morning Amer~t:a " and "Nightline.'' It's no wonder, then , that she's wmposcd at the first signs of a flare up.''Sometimes it's like that," she says of t.he short burst of chaos that had emued jUSt a few minutes earlier. ··· mat 's why we set up a little earlyto avmd losing any instructional t1me.'' She's in her office down t.he hall, while one of her graduate assi!) tants pn:xtuces !.he class from the con I rol room. Managing 17 classes this semester along with Instru ctional Tec hn ology Specialist Beth l'ellendorf, the only other full -time staff member supporting North ( :.am pus operations, Stephens is re ~po nsible for nearly 850 hours of classroom time--roughly 74 hour~ per week. This includes overseeing distance· learning interactive video operations, as weU as provirung training and instructionaJ suppon for faculry and staff members, and those who occasionaJJycontract from outside the university. Stephens says 27 distance-learning classes are slated for next semester, induding thost' held j n distance-learning classrooms in Abbott Hall on the South Campus and in !leU Hall on the North Cam pus through the School of Engineer· ing and Applied Sciences. "The demand has been growing at an incredible pace," she says. noting that in fall 1999. classes and special events-such as hosting a guest speaker via live vid~otaled about 46 hours weekly: next semester, that number will more t.han double and come dose to maximizing the capacity of th< Baldy classroom. lntq;rating technology shouldn·t network, or through digital tele · phone syst<mS.

Faculty are here to teach-we take care of the distance-learning connections for them," she explains. .. We try to minimize any distrac tions imposed by t.he technology on faculty and students." Distance learning is nothing new to the university, nor to Stephens. who joined UB in 1996 as an instructional support specialist in the School of Engineering and Applied Science's distance-learning network.. EngiNe!. "A Jot of people d o n't realize that SEAS faculty were on the cutting edge of distance learning more than 25 yea rs ago on a sys tem called GEMS-NET." she says. "University interest was growmg," says Stephens., who earned a master's degree in television, radio and fUm from Syracuse University's S.l. Newhouse School of Public Com munications before working as assistant executive direc tor of Lockport Community Televisaon and serving as an adjund instructor at Niagara University. Wanting to expand distance learning's focus to a wider academic community, UB in 1997 charged Millard Fillmore College with developing UB's distance -learning program. Stephens came on board in 1998. "We have considerable expertise with distance learning at Millard Fillmo re College to help depart · ments," she says, explaining the fa cilities and services are muJti -modaJity. The video operation is only part of the M FC Distance Learning Team ~ffon; the online learning operation is based in Parker Hall on the South Campus. "We can reach st udents on a local, regional or global level through vidrotape, computer networks. a high-quality West· ern New York regional fiber-optic lines, she says as she works on securing a connection with a site in Manitoba. A student in the Depart ment of Social and·Preventive Medi· cine is scheduled to begin a video interview with a prospective em ployer in the Canadian province momentarily. " UB truly is ' breaking ground '" with 1its u ~ of new technology that allows high -qua lit y videocon ferencing over lnternet 2, a non public, high -speed network shared by universities, she says. Internet 2 _is a cost -effective way to communicate, versus using ISDN. which nets a recurring long-distance charge, she says. ''With the Internet , you don't have the costs. but the quality is not quite as predictable-it 's an emerging technology that many profc=>rs ar< willing to try," she adds. The best quality transmission for interactive video classes is found on the Western New York Distance Learning fiber-optic system that's available in elementary and secondary schools. as well as BOCES cen· ters. But it's limited to regional sites connected only through Verizon. .. It's a great solution for students who want to attend VB classes but can't get out of work fast enough to make it to late·aftemoon classes,.. she says. "We've received a lot of high marks from students, particularly in the Department of library and In formation Studies and the Gradu ate School of Education. " library students from the Roch ester area are thrilled they can receive their classes in Batavia," she says, ..and we hope to secure a site in Rochester that will attract stu dents further east of the area." For the Monday class, UB was connected to a site in Elmira using ISDN and one at Frewsburg Cen tral School via the fiber network. many of them not so obvious to the first-time user-an affect dramatically the classroom dynamic. For aample, Stephens encourages instructors to look into the mounted vidro camera-not the monitorif true eye contact is to be made with students at remote sites. "Some strategies for gaining and keeping student attention at a remote site can ~ borrowed from teaching in lecture halls, looking into t.he camera and calling on a stu dent by name is ""ry helpful I think there's a fundamental difference in how a remotely situated student feels ' individual' as a result." Stephens-originally from Wil · son and now re-srttled in the area with her husband-is enjoying her· self, even "during days where the pace is just unreal." " I really enjoy working with my distance-learning colleagues. the fac· ulty and the students at this university-there's never a dull moment. ..A lot of our success is the result of some creative coUaboration with folks both o n and off campus." says Stephens. who also is a student at UB. She's begun work on her dis· sertation and hopes to complete her doctorate in higher education administration next spring. She says UB's .. growing pains"' regarding technology are similar almost everywhere. " I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with facuJty at an international conference in Taiwan this past summer. 114 always reassuring to fmd out that we're not alone in the challenges and r<Watds that distance learning presents. " We're poised to expand pro· grams. but are faced with limited resources-what is a particular piece of equipment's useful life? Can we effectively support it? It makes for a delicate balance where expansion is concerned," she says. Even if the technology kinks aren't completely ironed out, the human learning curvecertUnly is improving. "We're getting =y good at this,• she said. "We'n:getting=yefficient" The students also are much less tentative with technology. " It makes aU the effort worth it when I seestudcntscarryingonaconversation as if there were no distance between thcm,"Stephens sar-c "It's fun to those relationships develop." = �5 Advisors for Greeks sought m Advising part ofeffort to revitalize Greek system, FSEC told By JENNIRJI LlWAHDOWSIU Rtpart~r Assist.nt Editor U S'S liaison for Greek affairs urged members of the Faculty Senate Executive Com m ittee at the body's Nov. IS meeting to co nsider serving as advisors to Greek sociaJ organizations as part of a larger pwh to revita.liz.e the Greek system and "accentuate the positive." "We'd like the Sluden!s lobe able to have involvement with the faculty that they spend so much time in the dassroom with, in other ways." said Pam Stephens-Jackson. "The advi sory role is ... someone who'd be there to provide them some sound advice, hopefuiJy gurde them do wn !he righ t path." Madison Boyce, university o m hudsman, explained that supervision of the "Greeks"-as fraternities and ~oro rities are co mmonly know n around campus--has been moved from theOfficeofStudent Life to the Office of !he Ombudsman. '''Nhat I thought needed to hap pen was to do some assessment of what has been happening with th e G reeks . and what kind of help the ... groups had ," Boyce told th e L<nnmittec members. "( We ) nced~..-d to establish some goals, so we could ~et started th1s fall w1th ... makmg - w mc accomplishments. ~ I thmk that we've made some progress that way," !Wlid Boyce, who .llsoserv~a~directoroftheStudent Judiciary. commending the office for"kccpmga ught rem on ho w thi.' L reek.s are domg. I'm happy to :,ay, we haven't had any ncgativt• tnl..l dents th is semt.-stcr," he said. The Greek Affairs Advisory Board ha.' prepared a list of goals for 200001. which mcludes improving tht• uveraJI academic standing of Greeks and increasing membership from its amen! siu of 450 lo roughly 550. During !he early 1990s, Slepheru)aduonsaid,UBboaSiednearly 1.200 Greeks. She said the move toward revitaJization is imponant because Greeks "tend to be much more involved in college and campus life" than non· Greeks and also "tend to be bigger givers in terms of giving back to the institution after they leave." . Some fucully memben said they were reluaant to serve in an advisory capacily for reasoru of responsibili1y. " Hazing obviously is an issue o( concern," said G. Scott Danford, assoc iate professor of architecture who served as an advisor to a UB Greck organization for five years. He noted that many facuJty members "are hesitan t to get involved because of the liability issue." Stephens-Jackson assured senators that serving as an advisor i.s "not an assumption that you are rc:spon sib le for (the G reeks') actions." Dennis Malone, SUNY Disti n guished Service P rofessor in the Department of Electrical Engineermg, shared his frustrations in havmg served as a fraternit y advisor. In regard to academics, he said he "used to talk to the guys about time management," noting it was "pretty dear they didn't want to hear that." Stephens- Jackson said new mem hers mu~ t attend workshops on ha1 tng and academic performan e. 'They d o n't want to hear II , but yes. they do n(.-cd to hear it," she agreed . Notmg that the G reek system had atrophu:d over th e pa st decade. Oanford asked what was being donl' to "foster growth and development." Stephens· Jackson said her o ffi ce 1~ wodung on aLademic recognition and sociaJ programs, as well as build ing cohesiveness among the scpar.nc Greek organizations lhrough !he In 1er-Greek Council, !he umbrella or ganiza1ion for all soctal fraternal groups al UB; !he l'anhdlenll As><> ciation (sororities ),and the Lnter- l~ r.1 temityCouncil.A forum wtU be held soon to promote the Greek system a! a whole, she satd.

Noting a .. dramatic rise in the number of controversies between student.s and facuJry. among faculty and between outsiders ... and fac uhy," Dale Landi, vice president for special projects and programs, sa1d the university adopted the policy both to infom1 research participants and curb the "di sproportionate amount of... time and resources" used in dealing with such disputes.

I( music can be proven to have ex isted as a cultural trait from the Paleolithic era, then it is likely, Zubrow says, that the species we call Homo stlpiem sapien.r---anatomicaJJy modern humans--was, even in its first days, actually a rclativdy civ!lized, !""'-,,-,'""' used by ~n:hen to study the rei•tionshlp between music •nd cognltlon.

Part one of the study produced the foUowing conclusions: • Upper Paleolithic bl•dcs are similar in shape and acoustic properties to marimba bars.

The year 2000 report looks at 44 mdicators, or regional performance measures, across II key areas-economy, education, enviro nment, equity, government, health, human serv ices, planning and land usc, public safety, regional assets, and technology a nd information. Thirty-six of the 44 are updates of performance indicators identified in the 1999 baseline report, while eight mdicators are new or revised . Also featured are snapshots of how the region is approaching these assue amt.S and what challenges lie ahead in these major dimensions of the Buffalo-Niagara community. "Progress Repon 2000 is a picture of incremental change and growing innovation," said John B. Sheffer II , institute directo r. " It is a fundam en tall y e n co uraging upda te o n the progress of the region, but also dem o nstrates continu ing and substa n llal ch a llenges. The repo rt a lso shows the overwhelming need for co nstant, careful m o nitoring.

The 36 indicators updated from the baseline report were chosen based on new data that the State-of-the-Region team was able to access over the past year. As compared to the goals established for each indica.tor in 1999, 18 of the 36 showed progress to"ward the goals, five showed slippage and thC' remaining 13 demonstrated no change or mixed progress. Of the II issue areas included in the State o f the Region baseline re- port, two have demonstrated extraordinary cooperation and activity over the past year. The Human Servic.s and Health areas, although pur1uing very ditfC"rent approaches to thC' indicators and related goals, stand out as models of regional initiative. ..

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

But even the masta himself could not elude speech Tuesday during a visit to UB, articulatlngand, of course, gesticulating-"the strong grammar" of mime, which he describes as singing in silence. "With the breathing of the emotion, you create thought," explained the French-born artist, who spoke to some 400 people from the university and public in the Drama Theatre in the Center for the Arts on UB's North Campus. " Breathing is ... poetry-how to sing inside,the strea m of life, the feeling of life. "When you speak words. you create an image, and when you are silent, the attitude of the moment ere· ates image," he said. Imagine the facial expressionsor some of what Marceau calls the "conventions of character"--of indifference, dreaming, melancholy, courage, sadness and despair.

The contrast in scenarios is no accident, but a gift of the artist-who appeared happy to indulge the au- O 9 j J 5 about makingthevisibleinvisible,and the invisible visible. Creating the attitude--disdain,oompassioo, pity-or the c l ~ment-air, water, fire or earth--has to come from within "The grammar is the substance," he said "You learn to play inside to understand ...

"We had no idea it would be so successful:' said Isaac Ehrlich, leading professor and chair of the Department of Economics and Melvin H. Baker professor of American Enterpri s~. The program combines a master's degree in eoonomics with an advanced certificate in applied economics. A student earns the certificate through coursework in one of five areas of specialization-financial economics; international economics; economics of health services; economics of law and regulation, and urban and regional economics. And Lhc degree itself rests upon completion of the core courses-or basicsof micro- and macroeconomics, and econometrics. Ehrlich prefers to app~ch the degree and certificate as one in the same. The program brin&< into the fold fuculty from the School of Management, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the School of Law, and the Geography and Mathematics departments who teach courses for the various specializations. , Wlwe,!i>i> wuld b,e.=stru«! as symptomatic of UB's economics de- partment-the smallest among tho four SUNY cen ters, according to Ehrlich, and lacking in the faculty n=ry to teach to aU five specializations-- the comprehensive nature of VB is what "tumt"Ci out to be an anchor" for the program. Ehrlich said "It 's a unique program-many eco nom ic programs strive to d o what we've done but don't quite do it ," he said. The program's primary fo cu!,, Ehrlich said, is the "creation of un - derlying knowlcdgr and skills that would make our product a better catch fo r employers," citing the pro· gram as an altt:rnative to both the uadltionalMBA aswell asa doctor ate in economics. Investment banking. consuJtmg firms, the government, WalJ Strttt. and health--care agencies and hospitals aU "rely heavily on princi ple; in economjcs.,.. Ehrlich said. The program is set up so that all students--no matter their chosen specialization-learn how to conduct this business-type research. "( We're) emphasizing informatio n and skill as the No. I criteria for the content of the program ... he said. The department at one time offered an evening master's degree program, but it was not considered an tnd in itsdf, such as the department's doctoral degree. With this program's emphasis on economics as an applied science--one "that deals with real -world issues," Ehrlich said-the master's degree option could potentially expand the pool of economics students sin ce not everyone is interested in pursuing economics at the doctorate level. The program hopes to add by fall be enrolled for fall.

It also has been the n<Sting place of painters, poets. writers, musicians and othu artists; radicaJ socialists and communists; union activists. and other pioneers of counterculture. Cultural divmityand political radicalism continue todefin<of the Low.r East Sid<. What is striking today, however, is that real-estate developers. media c:=utives and others have coopted these characteristics as mark<!ing tools fo r residential and !Dmmercial redevclopment. In his new book, "Selling the Lower East Side: Culture, Real Estate and Resistance in New York City" (University of Min nesota Press. 2000), Ouistopher Mcle,assistant professor of sociology, examines the phmomenon in which real-estate developen and city officials exploit images of social difference as a means to lure middle-class renters to the historically working-dass district. The neighborhood's CUlTO'lt situa· tio~xpensivc rentals cheek-byjowl with the few remaining F unrenovated tenemenLS--is characterized by Mcle as a"symbolic middledassembrap:oftherultural practico of the poor and disenfranchised." He points to the usc of architet... ruraJ themes and signage, the abun dance o f new and upscale restau rants, stores. coffee shops and apart ments as a gesture toward the area's radicaJ and vibrant past. "The effect; Mele says. " 15 to sug· gest that boundaries do not exJ.St between the neighborhood 's increasing exclusivity and privilege. and its remainin~ poe~ of ~vfrty and community resiStance. This rappon between cultural differenu, political radicalism and ur- ban development is relatively new. .. Until recently," Mele points out, "the Lower East Side remained stubbornly peculiar-the last holdout of difference surrounded by an in creasingly homogeneous, middleclass Manhanan." 1 This, despite the fact that during most of the neighborhood 's history, develope rs and city officials have sought instead to rid the Lower East Side of its association with difference--to "'reinvent " it as a middle: claSs residentia l co mmunit ymostly failed effons traced by Mele in the early chapters of his book. "Selling the Lower East Side" takes us back to the late 19th century and weaves together......J.historical narratives that deepen the reader's understanding of the area's complc:x mixture of art, politics and real estate. On the theme of urban politics and policies, for inslancc, the author explores more than a century of housing and social rdOnns, government intervmtion in rebuildiog efforts, urban renewal, cynicism and decline. H< also traces the succession of immigrant enclaves on the Low.r East Side. His examination of the past introduces, as wc:U, the multifaceted roles playtd by bohemians, beatniks, hippies and punks in the cotme of struggles between tenement dwellers, developers and urban officials eager to eradicate the area's working-class and ethnic identity. While most of them were of middle-class background. these individuals identified with the politics and culture of the immigrant and the disenfranchised. Although their subcultures aligned thernselv<s with locals, Mele argues that their romanticization of the "other" often reprodue<d the very same neighborhood images that locals had long sought to resist. He says the influence that these assoned subcultures had on the area's devdopmentrepresentsaucial,postWorldWar n changes in the production, distribution and consumption of popular culture, which slowly incorporated the Lower East Side and turned it into a ..site of social ciilrerences" whose mixture of exotic, artistic, marginal, radical and historic elements could b< marketed nal Archives Project. • in Albany tomom>w as part ol "Researching New Vorl< 2000: Penpectiv<!s on Empire State History," a COO: terence sponsored by the Histe>ty Departmen~ SUNY Albany.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Christine \'Idol Why l.s It 50 lmport•nt to give to • publk unlvenlty7 not only 111 Western N~ York. but throughout the countly and the There's a cliche ~ usc in th~ business: for public un.M:rsities., the state pays for good; it doesn't pay for excdlcna:. So any conversation about public unM:rsities has to begin by acknowledging and appreciating the 1.-...1 of state support that we get. It is substantial. but the truth today is that ifyou're WJing to comp<te for the very b<s1 faculty,then you have to be able to offer th<m endowed doairs and if you are going to be abkto rmin your very h<sl faculty &om heing raided by other universities, you have to be able to offer them those extra incentives that other univas.ities are offering them ThiS campaign will begin to level the playing 6dd for UB to allow us to comp<te and rmin the veryh<sl faculty. And the same thing's true for students. We need to have endowed fellowships to attract and retain the very h<sl gnoduate students and we need to have endowed scholar.hips to attract the very h<sl students. The case has been made beCiwe the Distinguished Honors Program, which is the result of a gift we rea:ived anonymously &om a donor, has brought to the university 99 students whose average SAT score is 1513 and average high -school average is 98. Many people argue that those students would not be here if world And they want to be reconnected-there's this thing called alumni spirit. They'n: mad at us because we have not embraced th<m as members of the university fumiJy for 30yean. it wasn't for the endowed Distin· guished Honors Scholarships. lloat 's why this campaign is important. The other thing that the Clffipalgn docs. wh1ch tS not financtal, ts that it ha!! reconnected th e umverstty to Its alumm-.1 oonnecuon that was bro· ken when we became a public um vcrs-tty m t%2.

I meeting. A Deleo implored members to consi der a resolution unanimously passed by the Student Association Assembly in December 1999 stating that ..students may request aJtema tives to participating in dissection if they are opposed to dissection because of religious or ethicaJ reasons, or if the process is repulsive and offensive to the student." The College of Arts and Scienc..' has responded to the SA resolution stating that "no student is obligated to kill animals or dissect euthaniz.ed animals, but no student is excused from participating in the .,...blished exercises and experiments." Deleo, who told FSEC members that being in a room in which a dis· sect ion is taking place ..goes against what I stand for," ~,them to consider a policy that would give students alternatives-<hosen by the instructor--outside tt?1e laboratory. Several faculty members were o utraged at the suggestion. "You cannot have an effective uni- versity if teachers cannot decide what is relevant and important to their subjects," said Samuel Schack, pro· fessor and chair of the Depanment of Mathematics... If you cannot con¥i.n<%the people who are runni.Jtg the program that those things are indeed irrelevant, then you are more likely to be wrong than they.'' C ha rles Fourtner, professor of biological scienc.. who declared the issue was"not a debate for the Fac- ulty Senate,• expressed an over- whelming dissatisf.oction with studena' lack of understanding. ' "You don't separate out a particular group of animals or organisms and say, 'I have an ethical consideration about th.,..,' and forget about the rat of them," he said. "If you're willing to sit down at dinner and eat a live carrot because it doesn't bother you, rve got a problem with that "What we need to do is to get more students understanding what the whole system is about and not take the position that 'I don't want to do a dissection because I can't eat that particular animal, therefore I shouldn't have to work on it,"' he said "It's a bias I find that occurs to a great extent out of ignorance." Judith Adams-Volpe, director of· Lockwood Memorial Library, suggest«< it may be time to re-evaJuate the current policy. "I can't imagine that there are not simulations available that could possibly be substituted-like an online ... virtual kind of dissection," she said . .. Times do change, and maybe it's not totally out of line that in certain disciplines ... using technology could be considered" Bernice Noble, prof...or of mi crobiology, said computer simulatfon is available in the School of Medicine and Bi~medica.l Sciences. .. We are moving in that direc tion-1 know that there are mru{y, many programs available," she said. The suggestion of using vir.tuaJ reality, however, set off another wave of concerns on the issue. John Boot, prof...or and chair of the Department of Management Science and Systems, pointed out that virtual reality is"neverquite the same" as that which it intends to represent, as it 's ..a very different thing to do it and see it" "If you have those strongly held beliefs,''besaid ofstudents, "you probably should opt for another career." Discussion of the resolution was tabled. In other business, the FSEC received the fall report from Susan HamJe:n, chair of the senatr'~ Budget Priorities Comm itt ee, who shared information on UB's budget dynamics, as well as suggestions to improve the Oow of mformatmn. Regarding budget activities during 1999-2000, Hamlen reported on .. two major investment5'" at the um versity--athletics and information technology. "Wr concluded the IT iruuatiV(' u very well-managed under (Chief in· formation-Officer) Voldemar Inn us. and VB has made great strides in IT with limited resources," she said. "We (also) provided significant input to the Faculty Senate Athlet ics and Recreation Com mittee on iu report on athJetics.'" she said, noting the two major issues weR "whether the benefits of the program justify the costs" and "why, in the past, the athletics program (has been) allowed to accumulate a budget(ileficit without being held responsible for paying it off." Theathleticsdeficit,sheexplained, was a sensitive issue since the CoUege of Arts and Scion= was going to be required to pay off its deficit in the next three years. The issue was re solved, however, with Provost Eliza. beth D. Capaldi's decision that the CAS deficit wo4k! be paid back with general university funds, Hamlen said. Athletics is scheduled to begin pay·' ing back its deficit this year. Hamlen cited improved commu· nication as among the most important issues for 2000-2001. "We need to talk." she said. "Wl· mentioned earlier that the facuhy often don't know what's going on with respect to budget issues be cause they stop at the dean's office. And the faculty need s to be IO · formed " in order to provide input. Jack Meacham,-5UNY Distin guished Teaching Professor and chair of the Depanment of Psychol ogy, suggested a once-a-year. all funds budget report be made ava iJ able as a point of reference.

Drinking in bar risky for women By KATHLEEN WEAVER Reporter Contributor IFTY -sc:vcn percent of the women who participated in a recent study at U6.'s Research Institute on Addie· F tions (RIA ) reported experiencing at least one incident of vcrbaJ o r physi- cal aggression while drinking in a bar. Mbst of the aggression the women experienced was verbal, according to Kathleen A.

" When aggression occurred," Parks explained, "the women n: · ported having consumed more al · cohoI in a shoncr period of time and fee lin g m o re intoxi ca ted. The women a1so reported that aJcohol changed their own behaviors. such as becoming more aggressive, care· less or not being in control , during half of th e incidents."

The students, organized into teams. arc working into the night on business plans that could lead to the launch of th e e-commerce industry's next ..dot-com" stan·up or Buffalo'S newest small business. Completion of a viable business plan willaccounl for60 percent of the students' grades in the thret·credit course, and studmts are required to read and~ cast studies on en treprmeurialsuccessesand fiWures,as wcll as attend classes taught by local entrq>reneun and vmturc: capitalists. "Tho main goal of tho cours< is to help students get a business off tho ground," says Hannon, associate professor of organization and human resources. " It wouJdn't sur· C prise me if a third of th e class launchtd a business by the end of the semester, and we might even see a few of the students take a leave of ahsmct from tho MBA program in order to launch their business. ·We're encouraging the students to think big." According to Hannon, courses in entreprmrurship don't fit seamlessly into MBA programs, which tradi· tionally havt prq>ared studmts for managtrnent positions at establishtd companies. Over the past fc:w ~ however, entrepreneurship rourses and programs havt sprouttd up at busin<SS schools nationwidt, inOu enced by the much-puhUcized suc· cesses of "dot-com" companies, which has piqutd entreprmeurial in· tcrest among students. .. The response of students here has been overwhelming," Hannon says. "The cowse seems to have attracted some of theM BA program's more eccentric and crea tive proplc-people who are calculattd risk takers." . Students Matthew Wcisman, Eric Reich, Karen Woodman and Mat· thew Wordm, for instance, have bec:n working late hours on thtir business plan, diligmtly communicating thtir progress to each other via Palm Pi· lots,cdl phones and postings on thOr company's Wtb site. Thtir team, in essmce,already has launchtd a business, with each stu· dent assigned very specific roles: CEO. chief ltgal officer, director of marketing and information systems, and chitf financial offia:r. Though cartful not to divulgt too many dt· tails about thtir lnt<rnet· bastd vm· tur<, the studmts art confidont that they'rt p;,tmtially on to something very big. OXWe're attempting to revolutionize the way companies gather con· sumer research and consumer preferences," says Reich. ..We're not going to rush into it," cautions teammate Woodman, who prior to enrolling at UB was a senior manager at a New York City promotional marketing firm. "We're going to think it through and do it the right way. Wt havo much to learn, and our id"''._ is too good to wast< by not preparmg thoroughly." Othtr busin<SS<S hting planntd by tho students indudt a Buffalobastd gift importer, a softwaR str· vice provider and a manufacturer of a ntw medical product. But even if some---or most.......of tho studmts' plans don't mattrial· ize into adual businesses, the coune is giving thtm a valuable i<SSOn on the naturr and practice of cntrq>renturship. Hannon says.

A£cording to the regi.stnr,late reporting of grades is a significant problem: 2A6 late course grades for Spring 2000,....., of which still had not been rouived as of Oct. 2. It is the responsibility of the faculty 10 asoesstheacadanic progressclstudents in a timely fAshion. The Faculty Senate passed a resolution in 1987 stipulating a deadline of four working days after the end of the 6naJ examination period for the submission ot'j!rades in undergraduate oourses. Latt reporting of grades has a significant and negative eff<ct upon our students. Students seckingjobooradmission 10 other academic programs need to havecxxnplct.e grades 50 that transcripts can be issued. Most of our students participate in programs for financial aid and timely reporting of grades is essential for them to continue rtaiving this support. Students _rtaiving fiilling grades in courses that are prerequisites for other oounes may need to adjust their academic courseload 50 that they can obtain mastery of the rna- terial by repeating the course. For all of these reasons, students need a timely assessmenl of their academic performance. I strongly urge aU memben of the faculty 10 submit their grades on time.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

FSEC discusses email privacy By JEHNIFU UWANDOWSIU Rqxxttr Assistant Editor A document dearly out lining UB's stance on the confidentiality, privacy and se c urity o f ele c - tronic mail and containing policy said that the sheer volume of email the univmity proa:sses--<1 half-million pieces per day-virtually pre· dudes the university from keeping tabo on the e<ntral email servers. Rittner called the very thought of monitoring so much mail .. ridicu - recommendations toward that end lous" and said that despite its tech - currently is being drafted , Pete r Rinner, assistant to Chief Informa tio n Officer Voledmar lnnus, told nical feasibility, the operati o n "would be enormously expensive." As a maner of policy, Rittner aJso sajd VB wilJ not install-if asked to members of the Faculty Senate Ex ecutive Comminee at the group's Oct. 25 meeting. Rittner, along with Harvey AxJerod, un~rsity computer disci- pline of!ie<r; Inspector Danid Jay of Universit y Police, and Suven Sturman , instructional design specialist, have been working on "an email privacy position paper" in which the group "detail s the urliversity's stance with regard to do so-- Lhe FBI 's Carnivore pro gram, which allows the agency to tntercept and rollect electronic com munication directed by coun order. .. We have taken a publi c position ... that we will refuse to in- stall it," Rittner said of the program, noting that the FBI has approadled other Internet servia providers about " installing Carnivore preemptively." Rittner also expressed concern email privacy and also offers some over the lack of dearly defined pro· background information about per· tine('!t laws and policies, both at the federal and state levels." The group is drafting the document for the 17- cedures fo r obtaining email under "exigent circumstances." If a faculty member, for example. was engaged in imponant busines." at the university and was '' involved m an accident and m a coma an d unavailable, and that cmaU needs to be gotten soon," n o search warrant as needed , he said. but the umve rsiry still must d~elop a protocol for such situations. member Confidentiality and Pri - vacy Work Group, part of the Security, Confid~ntiality and Privacy Subgroup of the Information Technology Coordination Committee. "We thought th e document would be just a kpresentation of the facts, but we've uncovered a num ber of areas that we consider fulZ)'," Rittner said. He explained that UB's policy in the making-a culmination of fed eral and state eavesdropping and wimappinglaws,andaSUNY co,;. puler-use policy-essentially will guarantee that one's email is private. "It cannot be looked at by anybody a! the uni\'=ity,ex<rpt wxler crrtain circumstances." he said, noting that those circumstances would be necessitated bysu~poenasand S<ard! warfl11lts directed against emaiL "If those subpoenas and search warrants indude email, then there is a procedure for looking at the .. .affected email and filtering out those pieces of email that satisfy the subpoena or search warrant .'' Rittner explained. He assured FSEC membe" that only the targeted pieces of mail could be used as l'Vidence, and that "nothing else . .. seen in the process ... is used for any purpos< whatsoev<r." R<sponding to inquiries from sena· tors about monitoring email, Rittner He also rebuked department heads or managers who. on occasion, have sol.tcited the services of IT professionals to tap into the system to monito r abuse of email and Web privileges. " J don 't know of a single IJTI professional ... who has any d esire to fulfill any such request," he said , noting that the university is look ing to adopt a policy to protect those IT professionals from poten tial consequences-Rinner cited possible denial of raises and promotions as two examples-----a( d edining such a request He said such monitonng wo uld prove fruitless in substantiating a claim o f Web abuse-as the in fo r mation most likely would have been gathered illegally-and s uggested managers examine ..other critena " fo r gauging work perfo rmance. Some FSEC members cxpresst-d l'tm cern that the university's emaal IS backed up on a central system before it is discarded entirely. Rmm·r responded that there are competm ~ forces that warrant such backup. "If a faculty member inadvert - ently ddetes an email that he des· peratdy needs. and it's not availabl<, then we haven't met that person's need," he said. Ram Sridhar, assocaate professor o f computer science and engineering, suggested the university con sider "auto matic mo nito ring of cer tain kinds o f actiVities ... that couJd be dangero us or could be fo r-pro fit o r could be terrorist act ivities"such as viruses, for example---b u t "done withm the legal bo unds."

While new technical difficulties ~umily sur- declares James Whitlock, associate • director of computing services and ~ a key player in UB 's Internet ~ videoconferencing efforts. 2 Three of the conference's 13 pr~- g sen tations featured UB faculty ~ members as lead presenters or maJOr participants. While many large univenities and institutions have attempted videoconferencing over lntemetl for special, one-time rvents, UB is one of a handful in the world that has succeeded in using it for regu· larly scheduled cl=, a fact that served the institution well during the MegaconferenQ. "The quality of the video and au · dio com ing from Buffalo was the best I saw in our rehearsals,"saysArif Khan, nerwork engineer for OARnet Network Operations. which coordinated the conference. Adds Lisa Stephens, associate di rector for distance learning opera tions in UB's Millard Fillmore Col lege: "We have proven that UB can accommodate classes reliably through Internet 2. We know it works and we know it saves money; now it's a question of who can we reach where." UB's experience with Intern et vidroconferencing began years ago when a group of individ uals in Computing and Information Tech· nology, Jed by Whitlock, began to""' .how it could make the technology staff, combined with the real-world needs of the university 's faculty members. <XIIImll!llng an 1> Slaiosand-~­ partment of Modem Languages and The bandwidth available on Internet 2 is what rnak<s this possible-" Despite the fact that such a grand experiment was in a lot of ways just that-an experiment-the two uni- ti~nts in rural areas r~motdy, using an inexpensive, wireless hookup.

The presentations at Megacon ference were the result of the exper· _,.,...._-. human body. But last faJI , JUSt as Wegenstem wasantiapaung the birth of her first child, her husband , Willjam "Bodyworlu" Perhaps no one had a better reason to emb race this new technology than Bernadette Wegenstein. visit· ing professor of comparative literature. As a visiting scholar at Stanford University, she had planned to coteach with Timothy Lenoir, a pro· fessor of the history of science at Stanford, a groundbreaking cour"' entitled " Bodyworks., that Lenoir She- approached staff members at Millard Fillmore College, who made contact with their Stanford counterparts. At first, no one was thinking about using Internet 2. "When w~ first started talking with Stanford, the plan was to US< the regular Internet with a video link," recalls Stephens. "That gives you a connection, but the images are pretty choppy and low-quality. Then while we were talking about it, one of the people at ~tan ford said: 'You know, I've been trying to work on this H.323 stuff' and I just burst out laughing. I told them they had just fallen into a hotbed of people workmg on th.is stuff."' According to Stephens, Whitlock and his colleagues bad been experi menting with this technology for years before other institutions be ~ came interested "Had we not been positioned by Jim's earlier efforts, we could not have taken advantage of this technology for 'Bodyworks:" Stephens exp lains. "We just bruised our knuckles o n this bdort a lot of other people did" In addition to the live, interactive nature of the classes, Internet videoconferenci ng for distance learning at UB also involves e.xten· sive online discussion groups, Webbased resou rces and curriculum materials and digitiud video clips. For "Bodyworks," in particular, there was an extensive amount of such material. But the biggest hurdle remained connecting th e two classes and keeping them connected through the semester. Th~ technical staffs at the two universities started working to· gether immediately to make the faced, they only caused one cancellation of the class. "Bodyworks"was an especially interesting course to do this way. Wegenstrin notes. ..The pr~nce of the medium that we were actually analyzing benefited the students," she explains, "because we were looking at issues of reality and virtuality." In addition to the kind of almost awe· inspiring sm.se of connection students in th e two classes [elt, Wegenstein points out that the ex · pericnce allowed them to come to a new way of understanding the Web and its possibilities. .. There was a kind of concretization of the Internet itself," she notes. "Usually Internet experiences are ones you have while you an sitting by yourself at your computer. But here, it suddenly became a social medium." "Turbulence" At about the same time that UB and Stanford were working together to prepare for"Bodyworks,"William K. George, former professor of me· chanical and aerospace engineering, was trying to figure out how to par· ticipate in a National Science Foun· dation program at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara while continuing to teach his graduate course on turbulence at UB. The tesult was a cooperative ef. m According to the studenu, the guest interviews, which ne..r ¥jOU)d haY< been part of a rogular course, were the highlighL ln a paper about the~ that was delivered at the lnternatiQDa) Conference of Engineering Education in Taiwan in August. the UB instructors and technical staff noted: "The students received an e:xposure to ideas far beyond the scope of a nonnal course. Many of the top researchers in the area are now famil. iar C.C..to them. This both insp~ them and should facilitate their entry into the technical arena." Telemedldne applicaltlons While UB's early interest in Internet vi~nferencing allowed the institution to find solutions to the purdy logistical difficulties of SOlD" individual faculty members, it also bas allowed UB to support efforts of othen to determine solutions for specific applications. At the Megaconferena:, David Ellis, assistant professor of emergency medicine and associate directorofemergencyservices at ECMC. discussed how be and colleagues developed a wireless tekm<dicine system that they say is unprecedented. "Your standard telemedicine system is cumbenome and difficult to move around," says Jim Mayrose. research assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine. "Tha(s a problem for, say, a rural hospital where the emergency depanment is quito small -and where you might want to maY< it from room to room. We have developed a wir<less tdemedicine system on a portal>le cart that allows us to transmit fullmotion video through our hospital network and out to the rest of the world using IP and H.323 standards." Mayrose says the system includes a personal computer, cameras.. amicrophone and speakers. "This system has enabled us to bring the technology to the patient's bedside. rather than hav· ing to bring the technology to the patient,". he says. Sudl sysmns can realize huge oost savings for the health-care industry. since they may rnak< unnecessary emergency transport of some pa· tients from small rural facilities to larger ones where they can be treated This system already is in use, allowing ECMCstaffto diagnose and treat patients in prison hospitals throughout Western New York_ "P<ople might wonder if doctors can actually see what they need to see over the Internet," Mayrose says. "but actually, with our system and the quality of equipment we usc. the imag~ we receive allow for ac.curat~ diagnosis and treatment" To those who have done it, teaching classes and communicating over Internet 2 is an idea whose time has come, even if the technical d.iflicuJ. ties are still qujte substantial institutions-including UB and UCSB-pa rti ci pating.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Wh•t spedflc•Uy triggered this latest series of dashes between the Israelis and the Pal estinians? And Sharon , the leader of the op pos1t1on party m Israel, vtSited some holy ~i t es . The vi.s1t and the lead -up to the VISII were very controversial and many Palestimans took offense, mamly because of th e liming. Sharon has been a strong critic of the peace process. Tbe Palestinians were a b1t surprised that the prime mimster, Ehud Barak, acquiesced and let Sharon rnakt this con troverSial vtsit to the peace sites. That was the proximate event The more un derlymg cause for what 's been gologon 15 that thissummerthcycarne closer to a peact solution than they ever have before. I know there are groups wtthin israel and within thr Arab population-the Palestinians and the non - Palestinian Arabswho fear th1s. They don't want peace w1th lsr.tel. ~ I think that some of that brc:-wed up m this lull period smce th t: end of the Camp Dav1d talks th1 ~ summer. So there was a short -term ca use and there was more of an underlying cause. When t."ver you have a pea ce settlement between two s1des that have been f~ for a long, long time, there are certam elements on both sides that IUS! fear this thing when il gctsclo.k".

Some people have noted thai perhaps Barak Can Arafat be an effectJye l~er ond leod the P•lesttn- lans to peace 7 would ask the opposttion leaderSharon-to join him in a unified , coaliuon leadership party. I thmk that he felt that if he kept negotiat mg while the Arabs were talking trash, so to speak. about him, that would make him look bad. The other reason is because of the Arab League meeting over the weekend. Some tough talk came out of that My first thought would h<, well, who else? It's almost impossible to think or anybody else because he's been their leader for so long.

So it 's pretty much ~xpeace. But of course, it's the forces pected, based on what came out of surrounding him and his ronstituthe 'Arab !.<ague meeting, that you encies.

In fact whe:n he rael who don't want peace. It's dear won the election last year, people -lei- Arafat made that statement because he was at an Arab League meeting and he was surrounded by leaders of Arab countries. Besides Egypt, Jordan and Morocco, there are strong elements within these other Arab cou ntries that despise Israel. He's surrounded by this and he needs the support of those Arab leaders. especially the Arab leaders with money. It makes sense that he sa1d what he said. These things have happened before; he says one thing o ut of one side of his mouth to the Israelis and then he says_another thmg out of the other s1de of h1s mouth to his Arab constituenclt.'S He has a tough position. He has to sausfy a lot of people. wtre dancing in the strttts thinking this will bring pea« because the previoUs prime ministe:r, Netenyahu , was really no friend of the pea« process. In fact, I would argue that he did almost everything he rould do to slow down the peace proass . Will we see peace In the Middle East In our llfet.lme 1 I think it will become more and more peaceful ove:r time . But it's going to take time. We're always go· ing to have little eruptions. At a ba sic human levd, n's going to take a lot of time for Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims to not onJy co-exist, but to actually like Israelis and Jews. We've seen incredible progress over the past seven ~- If we can get OV<r tlus penod of retrenduncn~ you might call i~ we can get bad on track with tlus thing. I tend to be- <:>Ptimistic. Whlll question do ,._ wbh I heel ... ed. - - would you have •ouwered lt7 I think people should k<ep in mind the longer-term currents of this whole thing. as opposed to the shorter-term cvtnts that we see every day-the rock throwing and rubber bullets. We should keep in mind the longer-term progression. We've made tremendous progress since 1993 and I don't think we should forget about that just ~cause of these short-term periods of violence. Some of the progress that's been made is still there, it's still in place. It hasn't been eliminated because of wha~s happened in the past thr.. weeks. l~s still sitting there, waiting to ~ built upon. When Israel made peace with Egypt and Jordan, those peact scnlements were easier because, although there was a lot of animosity between the two sides. they could rome to a !"""" agre<ment and then go back to their own countries. With the Palestinians and the Israelis. they're gomg to ha"" to put toge!h<r a peace where they then share the same territory. They're going to ~ dealing with each other every day. Tha1 makes it a very, very difficult thing to do, in addition to the other factors. But all in all, I am still optimistic that, within the next few years. we will see further progress that builds on the substantial advances achieved over the previous 5n'el1 yean.

" It 's not '1f we're going to go next . 1t's 'where' can we go next ," sh e said. noting that technology-assisted service at the university is constantly evolving in the way it supports teaching. learning and Uving at VB. "The look of the product that rolled out (tlus yeall_ is dramatically different than what was used last year." Bernstein said.

King mad< ao appcarancr Friday in the program's VISiting Speak<rs'Series. King--on campus to attend a press conferencr announcing UB's S250 miJii on capital campaigntold st udents that as the:: SUNY system more aggressively pursues ft.-d cral research grants, as well as pn vate money, he expects the system to fare much be tt er in national rankings like those published by U.S. Nnvs and World Repon. "Running a university is very depend ent on money," King said, not mg that funds are net.-dcd to attract the best faculty and obtain the best eqUipment and facilities. But the SUNY system trndioonally has limited its fund -raisingeffons to the state legislature, whose gencrostty can vary from year to year. "\o\'hat I'm saytng to o ur ca mpus presidents--the r~n I'm here {a t Ul\) today, by the way-IS that we have to stop being captive to the state legtslature,"he sa1d."Rut we have no t heen very good as an ms titution 111 g_l'tllng alumm support. corporate ;;upport , 10 bnnging m federal rc ~rch dolla rs."' He pOin ted o ut that New York '-ltate IS the .l>t.'Cnnd o r third largest ..,t;He Lll the cou ntry a nd has more superb umversllles.-both publu. and private--than any other state Yet it is eight h 111 tht" amount of money it r«.eiv(S 10 research mone\ from the federal government Californ ia receives S l4 .5 bill1on , while New York receives only S2.9 billion, across all public and private institutions, he satd... But Ca.lifom1a is not five times bigger than us. and they're certainJy not five times bet ter than us.," he said . A more telling example, he soud, is the State of Georgia, which ranks fourth on the list of federal research money. .. You cannot teU me that there's justification to support m o re m o ney going to the Stat< of Georgia than comes to New York. Tbe problem here is that we have not been aggres Sive in going after federaJ research doUars," he said. Tohelpcon-ect that problem, King said. he has hired the pr~ lobbying firm in Washington to help SUNY "go after federal research dollars." Moreover, he said. he came to UB to show support for the university's dfons to rai se $250 million "to make sure this university is no longer so dependent on whatever the state legislatu re docs that it can't grow and can't make th e kinds of investments that we need to make. "So I am very confident that as " 't' mcrease the amount of federal rt' search do llars commg 111 to suppon our efforts. as we stan to ra1se our own money, that we will do very well mall these rankings," he sa1d . ..

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Most of the members of the work groups are not drawn from the subgroup. Altogether, we have about 30 faculty and staff members contributing to our efforu. Will the university meet the state's deHIIne7 Po~cy99- 3 allowed stat< agencies one year to apply the W3C guidelinc:s to all affected Web sites. If posstble, we would have met the deadline-Sept. 30, 2000-but it wasn't feasible. There are iuleast I50,000 catalogued pages on university Web sites and an estimated 300,000 other pagc:s. We couldn't have ascertained the accc:ssibility of even a fraction of those pages m the year~ were givt:n, mud! less reconfigured the inaccessible ones. This is one of those unfunded mandates that we hear so much about. Everything we've accom plished so far has been the product of the voluntary efforts of informa tion -technology professionals and other interested and concerned members of the unjversity cornmu · nity who already carry considerable workloads. Our strategy IS to lay down a foundation of knowledge. ms1ght and technical expertise on wh1ch we can build widespread commitment to the pnnaplcs o( umversal acO!'SSibilit)'. \\'e'rr convinced that once university faculty and staff memben. who sponsor and develop Web s1le:s undemand the need for, and benefits of, umversal accessibil It-y, they will work hard to comply w1th the state's policy-;:specialt)< if Y.'(" offer them technkal assistance 111 the fonn of tools, guidelines and prototypes. We've aJready developed some of those resources and are m workmg on others. Wh•t II Jhe gain In complying with the mandate 7 The principles of universaJ accessi bility serve more than the needs of persons with disabilities. For ex ample, a universally accessible Web site can be read and comprehended by a person who may not speak or understand fluently the language in which it is written or by someone using an emerging technology such as handhdd Internet devices. What's more, attention to universa!-acc~CS · sibility dc:sign principles helps developers focus on the primary purpose of most Web sites: effective and effi~ent information exchange. How far down docs the re- sponslblllty go 7 Are. penon a I Web pages afferted7 Becaust there are so many pages on umversity Web sites, we've taken the approach that the responsibiHty belongs to the university faculty and staff members who sponsor and develop Web sites. Realistically, only they can and should respond to the state's policy. It's not practical to have a single designated group of information -technology professionals at · tempt to address the accessibility of all of the university's Web sites. Aside from the sheer magnitude of such an undertaking. it wOuldn't work from a service perspective. Only the spon · sors and developers of the sites un derstand the information needs_the sites arr intended to fulfill. Only the sponsors and developers can and should modify the sites. if necessary. to make them accessible. Personal Web pages are not affected-if you mean those pages that serve no edu cat ionaJ or administrative purpose. What Is the University doIng to help depa-tJ ancllncllvlduals meet the m•nd•te7 Appropriatdy, weve launched a Web site <http:/ I wlngs.buffoolo.edu/lt/oc:cess> that comprises infOrmation about our univ=al acc<SS~bility initial!V<, links to tools and other useful r=urces, training schedules and rdevant news it= The Web site will be continually enhanced and updated. Mark Gr<enfield of err (Computing and lnformauon Technology) and Stacy Person ofthe ETC (Educational Technology Center) are offering a total of fiV< Web-aa:c:ssibility workshops during the Fall2000 S<m<Stt.T. We expect to continue offering training opportunities for the foreseeable future. One of ou r work groups is documenting a prototype site-development project that illustJates the ease and advantages of accessible Web design. Once it's done, the narrative will be added to our Web site. It's taken sometime. but we've developed-and will continue to develop--a substantial set of rc sources that will hdp departments Jnd individual users meet the mandate.

Wl\at really matters to mt' is that I have an inner sen.sr of my poetry-learning, groping, struggling. failing, trying to honor poetry and the human oondition."

A. UN<;U nanomedldne Contnbut•ng Edttor The School oiMedidno and 8jo. ORJ<wttha<.ana dian bram -mJur y assoa.auon, as well as the msptratton of the father of two hockey players who ha"" suffered concUSSlOn, has brought a UB faculty member into the fore front of mter-nanonaJ effons to establish return · to-playguid<lines foUow· mg concussion in amateur sports. Those guidelines, patnstakingly crafted by Barry Wtller, an apert 1.n traumatic bram inJury and a professor of psychology in the School of Med1cme and Biomedical Setences. with the assistance of John Leddy, associate professor of clinical orthopaedics and associate director of the university's Sports Medinne Institute, have been adopted by the Canadian Hockey Association (CHA) and the International Ice Hockey Federation. They also were used by the medical committee of the Sydney O lympics. \\'iller says that getting the return to-play gutdelines adopted by the <.:HA was a very significant step forw-.ud he-cause ''the association governs all amateur hockey in Canada, wh1ch makes tt the first bona fide sports o rganization to have adopted gutdelines regarding concussion." Will<T. who has been involved with hockey as a player and coach for most of his life, says he agreed to focus his efforts on hockey not only because he loves the sport, but because he felt 11 would be an effective conduit for mtroducing return-to- play guidelines in other amateur sports. "Hockey was born and bred m ( .anada, so the international sport •ngcommuniry still looks to Canada and thcCHA for leadership." he says. nottng that the adopt to n of th e gu tdelincs by the International Ice Hockey Federation was the dtrect rt"Suh of the C HA act ton . Willer points o ut that the tmtlaJ ampetu~ for t."Stabhshmg return -to play gutdeltnes ca me from tht• Ame n can Academy of Neurologv IAAN). but emphasm;.·~ that theM' gu idelines. while groundbreakmg. do not translate weU to the realities of amateur athlet1cs.

Brett, had withdrawn from professtonal hockey after suffering stv eral concussions. Lindros' o lder son, Philadelphia Ayers star Eric lindros. also battles with concussion. Carl l.1ndros had suggested to Wilierboth men were involved with the Ontario Brain Injury Association modificataons to the AAN guidelines. In addition to providing wordmg that be11er helps inaperienad tra1ners 1dentify a concussion when 11 occurs, they recommend that aU wncu.ssed athletes be asked to .s« theu phystctan before they return to play...Also. given the substantial in ~ creaSf' m nsk for irreversible darnage due to repeated concussions. if an athlete has three concussions m the same year, it is recommended that he or she rest away from the sport for the remainder of the playing season," explains Wtller. "These guidelines help mili sure nobody goes back to playing sports m<nd thal playm ... their physi cian b<for< returning to play. Willer and Leddy also ha"" been working to provid< physicians with educa· nonal material about concussion in an effort to help them brtt<r assess when it's safe to allow a child to return to playing sports. "Most family doctors, intmusu and pediatricians probably don't see enough of these head injuries to re· ally be very comfortable with treat · mg them, and it's not something they 're taught about in medical school; notes Leddy. "I think most physicians need more education about how to identify what a concussion has occurred, as weU as how to identify and treat symptoms of post -concussM syndrome." Furthermore, he cautions, ..~ injuries can be difficult to diagnose, at best There are a lot of symptorm that mimic other things; also, ath · letcsare prone to minimizing symptoms or downright denying them to the doctor." Toward 1M goal of educating physicians, Waller is ~ing an edu · cational package that includes the return -to-play guidelines, infonna: guidelines following concussion In •nNiteur sports •t the urging of Cart Undros (left), whose sons bllttle the effectJ of concuuJon. ( OB!A)--that the UB professor ap· ply his expertist and infl uence toward helping establish guidelines of a similar nature in amateur .sports. Willer and his coUaborators began by going to the CHA and meet · ing with the individuaJs within th~ associa t ion who develop educa tional programs for tramers. "What ensued was a debate that cen te.rcd on thequ,.estioru, What can we realislically apect from the vol unteer trainer/coach on the s•deline who IS just somebody's mom o r dad and who has little or no medical background? What kmds of dect ~•ons can we expect him or her to make about a player:S conditJon~" explams Willer. Out of th1s discusston evolved the guidelines that were adopted by the C HA, wh1ch. accordmg to Willer, have been worded in such a way that thry"not on ly make sense medicaUy. hut Jre presen ted tn a format that enables mom -the -team -tramer to readi ly understand them- m om. that IS, whose occupation may he dLCOunung. not medicine." Essentially, the gUidelines adopted hv the C HA involve three basiC until they've fully recovered from symptoms of a head injury," notes Leddy, who. as a team physician for intercollegiat~ a th letics at US, knows firsthand about the dangers of concussive injuries in amateur competition. " I teU the players, when you 'sprain your brain' it's a bigger deal than spraining your kntt or ankle. If you play on a bum kn~ or live with a bum knee. that's o ne thing. But if you don't come back fully from a brain injury. it's different. You may be left with a signifi cant decline in mentaJ funaioning."' Despite the apparent simplicity of the modifications made to the AAN guidelines, they required a long senes of discussions with the CHA. with final wording changes taking place as late as December of 1999. Lmdros feels Willer's role was cru naJ to making the project a success. '"Oue to hts scientific expertise and aedibiliry. he ( Willer) was able to facilitate the whole process and gain the complete support of Canadian amateur hockey through the CHA. He brought order and coheston to the effort." Because the gutdelines re..:orn - tion on symptoms of roncussion and assessment procedures for concussed athletes. Through his affiliation with the OB!A, he also is working to organiu a medical advisory commit tee on concussions that, in addition to establishing a amsmsus on postconcu.ssM symptoms. will sponsor educational conferences for heatth care professionals. .. ln the longrun,.. he says, "the goal is to hdp physicians be a linJe more astute at pidci.ng up symptoms and a little mo~ aware of the long-term ro~uenccs of conrussians themsdvts." Lindros commends this comprehensive approach to education becaust he feds it can lead to prot.ec tion for all children, not just those involved in sports.. "These guidelines. and the awareness they help create. apply to everyone, including parents who~ their child fall off the swing sei .a nd hit their head They aren't just for sports, but for life in general . What they r~ind all of us is that the dock doesn't start ticking-a child or an athlete doesn't go back to play-until he or she issymptom free at rest and with exertion for an appropriate period of time. .. Esstntially what we're saymg IS. 'Let's have greater respect for the body and things we do to the head.' \>\'hen the body isn't treated with respect, a mmor concussion can lead tosignificant,long-lastingprobiems.."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

What Is ua 101 7 VB 101 is typically identified a.s a first · year transition course. It is designed and implemented to assist students in making the transiti on to higher education by giving them a small, interactive, classroom environment that focuses on providing resources and fostering peer relationships. We cover a wide range o f topics, such as time man agement , study skills, personal well ness, computer technology, library and campus tours , and money management, as well as whatever else the instructors deem important to cover in their classes.

While VB is considered big within the SUNY system, it is considered small nationally, she said One ofUB's highest priorities, she said, is "to grow faculty size." The university wants to hire the best fac ulty,..giving us a tremendous oppor· tunity to improve in quality as we grow in slz.e," she added.

'lldaJ and since doctoral p rograms are • expensi~ .. it's graduate growth at the master's level that gives us our opportunity to move forward. "We make money on master's stu · dents." she said bluntly, pointing out that the state funding and tuition VB recei\>TS for a master's student is less that the cost to teach that student. Master's students will produce the master's-educated citizens the state needs, she said, noting that the master's degree has become the en - try degree in may fields. .. It 's our mission to do th1s; our is to produce cducauon at both the undergrad and grad level... Becau se UB can gro\.\' a t th e master's level, '"that will give us the mi~1on funding to htr< the addttional f.tcultv and also to attrad the terrific doctoral students that we need." she said. Capaldi also briefed senators on a reorga nu.ation of the budget pro cess that UB plans to have fully implemented by next year. Universities have a complicated budget process-with money com· ing fro m many different souicesand the traditional fund aa:ounting system that is taught in business schools is, quite &ankly, "useless" in this context, she said "It doesn't say, 'Did )'lU do a good job with the money; Did )'lU spend it on teaching? Did you teach well? Did you produce any research with that money? .. You need some kind of measurement of output ... so you know you spent it in the best place. "There shouldn't be any secrets here; we have the money, how it was spent, and whether we got goodness for it " --teaching and research, she said. "Our purpose in life ts not to make monty. our purpose in life is to do teaching and research, and to do a terrific job in teaching and research. "That means you have to measure how yo u did in teaching and re· search; you havt to have somr kmd of output measures here to say ' here is the money, this is the teaching we produced. how much; this is th~ rt-search we produced. how much; this IS the teachmg, how good: this is the research, how good.' "Then you have a mechanlsm to 5c.."'t' how you clid and also to show how you improved," she said. Besides clarifying a complicated prouss, the new system provides a better idea "wher-e it spent its money and what it got for it." It also provides a better apiana· tion to the public of how the uni· versity spends its money, she: added. The aim of the prouss, she said, is "to get a global budget, to lllti· mately get output measures so that we then can see wherr ~are investing our money and measure im provement" She shared with senators several "principles for budget manage ment," sOme of which already have been implemented: • The univer.ity has a global, all· funds budget, including all income and expenditures. • The budget expresses the aca· demic values and mission of the university. lhe first value we used this year was that the academic side of the university was the most im portant. To the extent we could, we put all of the ne-w money into the academic side of the university ; remember, that's what we're here for-teaching and research. • When marginal funds are avail· able, both improvement and high levels of quality and productivity should be rewarded. Quality and productivity are evaluated by com· parison to the ~~ programs in the nation in public'tesea.rch unjversi- ties. Capaldi noted that the indi· vidual schools are working on that now, to be.in place by ncn Y='· • Deantralized 6nancial tnanaj!<mcnt principles have been adopted. Authority has been g;...., to the deans "to make their prtl8I'IJTIS terrific and to run their budgets." she: said • The university is responsible for the cosu of university-wide programs, "the common-good kind of things that the univenity must do." • The university provides incm· rives for marginal growth in enroU· ment and indirect -cost generation. Specifically this year, VB was able to eliminate the structural imbalancr "because we had enough money" due tO tuition returned to the cam pus and monetary incentives for VB's increa.sed enrollment, she said. ln addition, "every unit contributed something" to help offset the imbal· anci, ~ther by taking less of an in · crease or by taking a cut. The administration also funded fully the teaching and suppon COS!5 in the CoUege of Ans and Science.."the coUegc:didn't ov=pcnd; the col· lege was underfunded"-<tS well as the merit scholarship prognun: met all commitments made by p~ous provosts, and funded oosts associated with approved fee: increases. increased enrollment to the units. the libraries' acquisition prier increases and the university-wide priorities.. �Reparlall School performance studied I :.::~~erfonn Chtldren born prematurely more ltkely to be underachtevers .

School as a program in the law and social sciences., is celebrating its 25th anniversary as one of tht top academic institutions internationally rtoognized for interdisciplinary study of law and legal institutions. Fueled by a bequest from Ouistoph<r Baldy. a 1910 UB law graduate and prominent Buffalo attorney, the CC"nter's activities are geared to adapt to theever-dtangingdynamicsoflaw and society here and abroad. "Our activities make us more VIS· 1ble th roughout th e country and around the world and help us to draw outstanding students and fa cuJry members to our campus," says ce nter d1rector and law professor DaVId M. Engd. "Today. the program at UB is mentioned in the same broth with programs at Berkeley, Wisconsin, N{'W York University and Oxford." The broad outline of an interdisci plinary program took root under then law -school dean Richard D. Schwartz. becoming the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy in 1978 under the deanship of Thomas E. Ht..drick, SUNY Distinguished Scrv~ee Professor. Barry B. Boyer, pro fCSM>r of law, served as director for 14 )'ears befort.• becommg law school dean in 1992. Today, the center prov1des a fn rum for more than I 00 affiliated UB faculty members and interested stu dents to discuss and coUaborate on "'"'--arch dealing with legal and social issues here and abroad. Interest!. and ex pe r tise inte rsec t through mOre than a dozen disciplines in the Law School, School of Social Work, School of Management. College of Ans '!nd Sciences and the Librarie, The Baldy Center sponsors fa c ulty -level sociolegal research , lectures an d instruction within five broad research p rograms: • Children, Families and the Law. Members of th is p rogram explore how law and policy deal with children as legal subjCCU, victim~, witnesses and as p<rpetrato" of 11legal acts. Studies have addressed such topics as parental and medical perceptions of child abuse, the veracity and credibility of child witnesses in legal proceedings. prosecution of child abuse homicides, child protective services P"'; assing of cases, and adoi<SCCrtt delinquency and substanc< abuse. The program is directed by Murray I.Lvinc,SUNY Distinguished Scrvt« Prof<SSOr in the D<partment of Psy chology, and Susan Mangold, a.<;SOCl auo professor of law. • Community and Identi ty. Re search in this program investigates the processes of law and social change that operate within commu · nities to include some persons and groups while excluding others. It examines the role of law in creating norms or perceptions through which groups attempt to define themselves as do minant and others as subordi nate or deviant. It also examines the capacity of law to transform orr~ these processes o f exclusion and subo rdinatio n. St udies in this program have focused on such groups as the poor, racial and ethnic minorities. persons with disabilities. prisoners, women in the labor movement and th~ iob market, the working classes gener ~ ally and the dderly. The program is directed by a steering committee that includes Meghan Cop<, assistant professor of georgraphy; David Gerber, professor of history; Bruce Jockson. SUNY Distinguished Prof<SSOr in the Department of English. and Frank Munger, professor oflaw. • Gender, Law and Social Polocy. .RcseaJ-ch in this program explores the Intersections of legal, social and political constructions of gender and gender· rclatcd issues. One group of st udies addresses issues related to re productive rights, such as I{"(('~ mterpretations of reproduaive injury and pain (DES litigation),abortion-rights activism and reproductivf' technology. A second groupaddrt~ issuL~ related to \YQmen of color, su~h .b African · Amenca n womt.•n m th e military and public- mtcrest advocacv for women of color.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Tell me about the change• you' ve lmplemeftted In Human Resources to Improve customer sentce. We've implemented a number of changes in Human Resowt:e Servic.es (HRS) this past yoar.Onoofour most challenging changes was the merger of State Personnel, State Payroll, Research Foundation Personnel and Research Foundation Payroll into one organization- Human Re ~ source Services-;md relocating all organizations to the first floor of C rofts Hall. The purpose of this merger and relocation was to im ~ prove service to our customers by streamlining proccsses. minimizing redundancies, improving internal communications and cross-training staff to be able to respond the customer inquiries more fully and efficiently. We also established a Customer Service Center on the first floor directly across the lobby from the front door> to Crofts. Staff in our Customer Servia: Center assist walkin customers and direct phone calls to specific human -resources staff members who can provid< responses to questions about benefits. immigration maners, payroll and the like. The phone number for our Cus tomer Service Center is 645-7n7. Much of our outreach to customers has focused on three areas: customer training, the development of internal HRS protocols focused on responsiveness to customers and obtaining customer input on our activities through surveys and consultation. We have provided training to our customers in benefits eligibility and administration, in the changes to the ne'W" agreement between the State of NC'W" York and United University Professions, 1-9 processing, business rules for State ~ appoint ­ ments processing and other business processes. perfonnance evaluations, foreign ~ national tax matters, sickleave exchange program, cyberlaw and training on the prevention of sexual ~ harnssment complaints. Soon, HRS Research Foundation staff will be training campus customers on OASIS. an Ornde-based suite ofbusiness applications to support project directors in thdr sponsored -pro- gram activities. To better assist our customers in connecting with spc~ cilic HRS staff, we have developed intomal HRS protoools, including a division-wid<calendar,sign-out and call-in procedures and standards for phon<: and email turnaround times. To ensure""' are mduding the views of campus customers in the services we provide, we havo_conduellld S<Yeral surveys. including one on the future disposition of the Renaissana system, which is used to facilitate the State-appointments process. and another on the employment practicrs of campus departments with respect to the recruitment and hiring procedures for UUP part-time faculty. Likewise, many HRS staff haY< begun visiting customers at their work location tc(oonsult on a variety of human resource issues. Why open an office on the South Campu•7 Feedback that I received from a number of faculty, staff and administrators on the South Campus suggested there was a need for a Human Resources presence on the South Campus, a presence that could facilitate problem resolution, increase communication, e:xpedite transaction processing and assist with other human-resource matters. Because emp l oyee~rdations concerns were prOminent among South -Campus priorities, I ar~ ranged for Jennifer Boweri from our Employee Relations unit to work two days a week on the South Campus, beginning July 27. In addition , beginning last w..k. Liz Dundon, our manager ofbenefits administratig_n, is on the South Campus one day a w.. k. Research Foundation human -resources staff members continue to be on the South Cam ~ pus from II :30 a.m. until2 p.m. on Wednesdays. Jennifer, Liz and RF human-resources staff members have llt~ir office in 16 Diefendorf Annex and may be reached at 8292037. In addition to having a presence on the South Campus, we have established the South Campus Ad visory Council to provide a forum in which representatives from South Campus schools and departments can raise issues, provide feedback and input and otherwise: focus on their specific needs and concerns. many .....,....,... unit• - - " 9 •--ces7 Among the many challenges ... face is the fair, coruistont and. timely delivery of a V3St array of human -resource . services to nearly 11,000 UB employees. l~s quite a long list.

Furnas' _Olympic history revealed BY ANN WHITCHEa Reporttr Contributor IGHTY years ago thiS week, a young collegian from Indiana was settling back into campus life after spending the summer as an Olympic athlete and competitor in post -Olympic events overseas. The 19-year-old Purdue undergradual< was Clifford C. Furnas ( 1900-69), who went on to a distinguished career as scientist, author and chancellor-of the University of Buffalo from 1954-62, and from 1962-66,asthefirstpresidentofthe State University of New York at Buffalo, following UB's merger with SUNY. Furnas was among the final ists to run the 5,000-meters in the 1920 Olympics-or the Seventh Olympiad-which took place in Antwerp, Belgium. His Olympic run followed successes at intercollegiate competitions throughout the Mid-( west, and impressive showings in the Olympic tryouts in Chicago and a final meet at Harvard University. Olympic memorabilia, including a photograph album, scrapbook, track uniform, insignia and nbbons, are on display as part of the Clifford C. Furnas Memorial CoUection, established by Furnas's wife, the late Sparkle M. Furnas. The Furnas ColJection is housed in the University Archives, 420 Capen Hall. The photo album and scrapbook. in particular, bring to life the spirit and drivc of a young runner preparing to take on the world. Furnas' Olympic scrapbook contains a newspaper photograph of him and other Olympic-bound U.S. athletes ch .. ring as they pass the Statue of Liberty aboard the " Princcss Ma1oika" en route for Anlwerp. E A souvenir ship program reveals that the American Olymp•ans were enlertainedduringtheirvoyageand treated to a fareweU dinner, but ath !<tic preparation wasn't neglected. "We trained daily on board ship," Furnas later wrote in Tht Pmdut' Alumnus, .. the sprinters on the promenade deck, the other track men on the deck below ... the wres· tlers,boun and weight men on the forward weU deck and the swim mers in a temporary tank on the aft well deck. ... Altogether, three 16pound shots. two medicine balls and one discus wen: contribuled 10 1he fish Belgium had been devastated in WorldWarl,andAntwerp,witheconomk woes of its own,_had had insufficient time to clear wartime rubble and construa new facilities for the Games. The stadium was unfinished at thestartoftheOiympics; athleles were housed in crowded rooms furnished with folded cots. But Furnas and his compatriots checrfu!Jy overcame thes< difficul ties,althoughFumaslaterwrotethat the poorac.corruncxlations adversely affected their amditioning. More than 2,500 athletes participated in the Antwerp Games. The field represented 29 countries. However, the defeated nations of World War 1---Cmnany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkeywere not invited, and the new Soviet Union chose not to attend. The Olympic flag, with its intersecting rings, was introduced during these games. On Aug. I 4, the Ameri an athletes took pan in ceremonies formally opening the stadium ... It gave me quil< a thrill to stand there among the ranks of athletes and see the line of 26 flags ," Furnas wrote, .. each backed by personal repr=ntativesofthe nation it represented. It was a oongressof nations. which I am sure exerted considerable influence in bringing about good feeling among the nations of the world." In carefully preserved oorrespondence with his parents, Furnas voiced keen disappointment at the Americans~ showing in the distance runs, yet he expres.sed pride at having been among the best in the world in his event. ln the 5,000ll!eter, Paavo Nurmi of Finlandwho won the 10,000-meterand two other gold medals at these Olympies-finished second to Joseph Guillemot of France, a war veteran who had taken up running as therapy forlungsdarnaged by mustard gas. Erik Backman of Sweden took third place. The Americans turned in the best overall team performance, however, winning a total of41 gold medals, including nine for track and field Before Furnas returned home, he enjoyed a kind of European athletic tour, participating in several postOlympic meets. At "the Ownpionships of Northern Fl'2llce, held Aug. 29 in ' Lille, Furnas won the 1,500meter. "We weer thert as an added attraction to the meet," Furnas recalled, "for the Amerian shield on a track suit attracted the admiration and respea of every Frenchman." The French also admired traditional Amerian good-naturedness, especially the ability to lose graciously during thai summer of competition. "You Americans arc: good sports," a Frenchman told Furnas. "You laugh if you win and you laugh if you lose." Furnas and other American athletes then traveled 10 London to compete against a spccially selected British team in a meet held Sept. 4 at the Queen's Oub, where the fu ture UB president captured first place in the two-mile run. "Wonderful si>ortsmanship was displayed by the member. of the teams," Furnas wrote, "and when ..., 6naiiy parted for the various paris of the globe, w. aU felt that we were leaving a fine bunch of sportsmen and true friends." On Sept. 9, 1920, Furnas set sail from Southampton on .. the l..aP.laod.~ arriving i~ the United States on Sept. 18. "I received a little thrill wh<n I again set foot on Amerian soil,.but I had a feeling of regret when I realized that the most worthwhile athletic trip which a person can ever hope to takr was almost at an end."

Capen Olair in Philosophy, and the UB Department of Philosophy. For further information, go to the coUoquium Web site at <http:/ I www.pr.gm•tlsm.org/ conferences / futu re _ of _pr•g m • tlsm_progrwn.htm>. The conference will engage the question of reality as it has evolved within the American philosophical school known as pragmatic naturalism, an amalgam ofthe two separate. but eventually rdated, philosophies of naturalism and pragmatism. Naturalism d<Veloped in the late 19th century out of th~ principles and methods of naturaJ science, especially the Darwinian view that nature is in principle completely knowable, regular, united and whole. Naturalism asserts that there is nothing"real" beyond nature and accepts no evidence of .. ~pmlatu- . raJ" effect that cannot be l:onfinned by scientific methodology. Pragmatism, on the other hand, holds that the merit of an idea, policy, value or proposal must be determined by its usd'ulness or workability-that is, its consequenres in the real world--and not by the scientific infallibility of its claims. Pragmatic naturalism developed out of the work of late 19th and early 20th century American naturalistic humanists like Charles Peirce, W~l ­ iam James and John Dewey. In dif- T HE Department of Philosophy will present an international conferena Oct. 20·21 in honor of Peter Hare, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor and former chair of the UB Department of Philosophy. The conference, ti~ed"The Future of R£alism in the American Tradition of Pragmatic Naturalism," will take place in the Center for Inquiry, 1310 Sweet Home Road, Amherst It will feature- presentations by scholars from the school of pragmatic natu ralism, to which Hare has dedicated much of his career. A member of the UB faculty since I %2, Hare is the author of several books in the field of philosophical pragmatism and has, for more than 25 years, edited 71~e Transaction.s of rhe C.S. Peirce Society. an important journal in American philosophy. Among the notable guests at the conference will be Murray Murphey of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the foremost living scholars o n the history of pragmatism; Sami Pihlstrom of the University of Helsinki, and UB al umnus Chin Chun Chiu, professor of philosophy at Taiwan's National Tsing Huo Uni vcrsity. The conference will be sponsored by the Marvin Farber Memorial Fund, the Charles S. Peirce Professor>hip in fcrent ways they each posed a mar· riage of naturalism'.!. dediCa tiOn to scientific method and pragmausm·5 rational approach to the problems we face as individuals and social beings. During the first half of the 20th century, pragmatic naturalism was at the center of important controvcrsio across the disciplines of metaphysics. epistemology, philosophy of SCIence, ethical theory and aesthetics. John Shook of the University of Oklahoma Department of Philosophy, one of the conveners of the UB conferen ce, says pragmatic natural · ism is enjoying a res urge nce of popularity and co mroversy today l>Kause it offers many resources for the resolution of both perennial and novel intellectual problems. " It works with the natural and social sciences toward a view of the generaJ nature of things and an un ~ derstanding of the ope rati ons of human knowledge ... b)' taking a naturaJistic stance o n the world, (it) finds' that the sciences and the1r methodologies are superior to other modes of inquiry in to the human environment," he says. While acknowledging that pragmatic naturalism is form ulated to adva nce inqui ry into all areas of human concern, Shook says the UB conference specifically aims to illu minate one topic that presently ant · mates aU of mainstream philosophy: the future of reali5m .

Polivka and Frank Lloyd Wright," an exhibition designed and organized by UB and the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, will open on Saturday in the Historical Society, 28 Nottingham 1Crrace, Buffalo. It will explore Wright's profes· sional co llaborat ion with noted · Czech-American structural engineer Jaroslav Joseph Poliv~ who introduced a number of daring)nnovations to the field of struct1ual design, particularly in the use of pre· cast and pre-stressed concrete. Their partnership resulted in the design of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and the Jolmson Research Tower in Racine. Wise., two of Wright 's best -known and most highly regarded buildings. The two also produced functional designs for several unrealized-but spectacular-structures. including W the San Francisco Butterfly· wing Bridge, the Belmont Racetrack Pavi lion and "Seadiff," a dramatic , cliff-hugging home designed for the Morris family of San Francisco. The exhibit , which will run through Jan. 7, was organized by the UB Archives, the School of Archi- lecture and Planning, the Depart· ment of Media Study, Lockwood Memorial Library and the Histori· cal Society. The official Web site for the exhi~it can be found at <http:/ / polhrluo.bufflllo.edu> . Organizers say the exhibits will employ computer and interactive displays that will permil visitors to e.xplore and "experience.. Wright's 1 work in new and unique ways. It also will allow viewers to consider such fundamental issues as space geometry and proportion in a manner far . superior to reliance on stiU photographyand video. Catalogues for the exhibit will be produced in both Web-based and print formats.

"Make sure the facility you choose to go to looks like yo ur dentist's office . .. in terms of clean liness," Snyder, who works in the Student Health Cenler, !old those attending a recent Life Workshop session on .. Tattoos and Body Piercing 101 ." Her second rule of thumb was reminiscent of the familiar adage. "U>ok before you leap." "Body piercings can be removedtattoos cannot," she stressed, remind ing students that should the time come to, for example, join corporate ~merica, an eyebrow ring can be removed much more easily than a tat· too in a conspicuow place. Snyder said she firn became interested in body piercing when she arrived at the university in 1994. .. 1experienced a patient who had an in fected umbilical ring and I dido'! know how 10 !real (the pa· tient ),"' she said. As a result of that encounter, Snyder took an active interest in body piercing, researching its history and current trends. Although it may seem a fairly new trend, body piercing is really a lost art, Snyder explained. "None of these a rts are newthey've been revived ,"' she said of both body piercing and tattooing. While body piercing was brought into vogue arou nd 1979 in San Francisco, its roots stretch back much further. Anci~nt Egyptians pierced their navels, as well as the Mayans and Aztecs, who also pierced their noses and lips, Snyder said. Nipple piercing was believed to be popular among the Roman Centuriansspecifically to support the capes worn in that time-Snyder said. History aside, Snyder concen trated on aiding students in making informed decisions about where to go and how to care for piercings and tattoos. She suggested thai for those con· sidering getting pierced, touring area saJons first is the most reasoned approach. "Visit salons. and not in an altered state of mind," she quipped. "There should not be any opposition to looking in the back (where the piercing talces place) and asking about cleanliness." Further, autoclave sterilization of the instruments involved in the piercing process is a m ust, and a good piercer will not make a move without first asking for proper identification, as a person must be older than age 18 10 get pierced, Snyder said. Piercers always should wear new latex gloves for each client, and above all, needles should be sterile and disposed of after each use, she said. Since there are virtualJy no requirements in place in the United States for an individual to become trained as a profussional body piercer, researching sa.Jons is a must. "You really need to be a smart consumer, here," Snyder said, adding that in the case of tattoo artists. a certificate is required. In Erie County, tattoo artists' certificates are renewed each year after a visit from \ the county Departmenl of Health. "(They) need to demonstrate they know the code for safety," she explained, adding that it's important to realize that safety compliance is not reflective of talent. "The certification does not tell you anything about their skill level," she a9vised, noting that individuals interested in getting a tattoo should ask to see a book of the artist's work. 115 forthedo-it-you=lf method, Snyder strongly warned against it, as inexperienced piucers risk nerve damage and psychological trauma. In addition, salons use special, larger-gauge needles through which the jewelry is threaded into the desired area. and the use of improperly sized needles can result in evmtual closure of the hole. Snyder said a piercing gun should never be used, save on the ear lobe, as agun can damage cartilage and cannot be sterilized. The Hepatitis B virus---the great· es1 inf<ctious risk of piercing--is likdy to be transmitted with a piercing gun or through "something used by the piero:r thai bas been used before.• since the virus "can be spread by minute amoUnts ofblood," she said. She also stressed the importance of using appropriate jewelry. Surgical stainless steel, 14-karnt or 18· karat solid gold, titanium or niobium are the only suitable metals for piercing, she said. · Infection is common with piercings, given the invasive nature of the procedure, said Snyder, who emphasized the need for proper care. Piercings should be treated with warm water, antibacterial soap or, in the case of the tongue,. an antimicrobial alcohol-free rinse, and should be rotated during the cleaning process. If signs of irritation, such as redness, swelling, pain and discharge, persist after the appropriate healing time-which varies with each type of piercing-.-Snyder recommended increased cleaning as the lim step. The next course of action, she said, would be to visit a physician. Keloids, or scar tissue fonnations. also are common with picrcings, Snyder said. But the problem with keloids; is that once formed. they cont.i.Oue to grow in size. " If they're still soft, they can be injected with cortisone to break up the tissue, but usually you have to have ·(the keloid) surgically re · moved," she said. While the body may be forgiving of such procedu=.:, society isn't aJ. ways. "Unfortunately, society is not all that accepting of tattoos and piercings," she said, which is why taking time to research and reason body art is necessary before doing the deed, especially in the case of tat· toos, whic:h--.ave painful, lengthy and costly procedures to remoV< th..,.._...., forever. �Septembel Z8.1UOO!Vol.32.18.6 Reporter Pig Skin Play 7 foot~all UB 10, Bowlln1 G,.,en 17 Shin lburi, 21, a senior from White Plains majoring in cultural anthropology and international business, looks like he's ready to score the winning touchdown during an early-tall game on the North Campus.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Educational anthropologist to speak at UB john Ogbu, expert in minority-group school performance, to give Acer.lecture By PATliiOA DONOVAN News Services Editor J OHN U. Ogbu, Chancellor's Professor of Anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley and one of the ~rid's leading educational anthro· pologists, will present the 2000 Charlotte C. Acer Colloquium on Urban Education. The colloquium, sponsored by the Graduate School of Education, will be presented from 4-6 p.m . O ct. 6 in 250 Baird Hall on the North Campus. It was endowed by Acer, an alumna of the school, to facilitate informative and provocative lectures. discussions and analy· ses that address complex issues in urban education. It is free of charge and open to the public. In his lecture, Ogbu-a leading researcher in the field of minority - group school performance-will present data from his ethnographic research of differential academic performance by immigrant--or voluntary-and non-immigrantor involuntary--minorities. The major theoretical issue he will address is why some minorities are relatively successful in academic terms, in spite of differences be· tween theirs and the dominant cui· ture, language, cognitive styles, and other minorities with similar differ· ences are less successful. He also will discuss the relation ship between collective identity and rejection of .. white behaviors" among black students and within the African· American community. Ogbu currently is working in th~ research areas: minority sta· tus and schooling in urban industrial societies, collective identity, and culture and intdligence. His com- parative research explores the inftu ence of culture and culture change on cognitive skills or .. intdligcncc." His recent fieJdstudieswerecon · ducted in Oakland and Union City, Calif., on African Americans, Chinese Americans and . Mexican Americans. and in an affluent suburban oommuoity in Ohio. He is interested as well in the relationship between collective identity and culturaVIanguage buundarics. His focus is on the sense of " we-feeling" and "belot)gingn·ess" within cultural minority groups. Ogbu notes that oollective identity may not be less important to members of individualistic mainstream U.S. and western European societies--or to anthropologists from these societies, for that matt~r. He maintains, however, that collective identity has much g=ter import to minority groups in contem- porary U.S., Canada, Japan and other urban industrial societies, as well as to various ethnic groups in Bosnia, Indonesia, Maioo, Nigerill, Sri Lanka and other nations. . Ogbu is the author of several books and more than 90 articles on these issues and is widely referenced and quoted by academic scbolan working in the fields of education and educational anthropology. Among his recent publications are " Voluntary and Involuntary Minorities: A Cultural-Ecological Theory of School Per(ormanoe" in Anthropology and Eduathon Qiutrterly and a chapter on "Speech, Community, Language Identity and Language Boundaries in " Language and Environment: A Cul· tural Approach to Education for Minority and Migrant Students," edited by A_ Sjogren (Stockholm: Botkyrka, l997 ). $250,000 gift to fund.football scholarship By SUZANNE CHAMIIliii.AIN ---___. __......... A ----...... ----wuetc~.edu The theme for this year's campaign is "Stepping Up." We hope that UB Rt"pOiterContributor loyal fri e nd of UB is making a major gift to the Division of Athletics for an end o wed football scholarship. The $250,000 donation fro m Kathleen M . Shepard is being given in memory of her late husband, Richard, a loyal UB alum nus, who, she noted, believed that "a high-profile athletics program, particularly a successful football team, brings prestige and plays an important role in the offerings of great universities." Shepard said she simply is completing the plan· started together with her husband, who died before they could make the scholarship donation that would share their good fortune with deserving student -athletes. G rateful for the gift a nd the Shepards'long-time support , Bob Arkeilpane, director of ·athletics, remembered Richard Shepard as "a generous individual who em bodied the spirit of our loyal fans. " Both Richard and Kathleen long recognized the importance of combining academics and atbletics and the role that such endeav- ors play within the university community and Western New York," noted Arkeilpaoe, "and we value their leadership irr helping us build our football program.· Richard C.

He projected that the R ESEARCHERS can see the fu ture in the blood vessels of children with a parent who ha s had a premature heart attack and the piclure is not pretty. A study in this week's issue of the New England journal ofMedicine reports that ultrasound images showed st'ructural and functional abnormali ties known to lead to atherosclerosis in children as young as 6 years. "The parent's MI was already re· Occted in the kids," said Maurizio Trevisan, senior author and professor and chair of the Department of Social aod ~ventive Medicine. Resulls showed that participants with a paren t who had a hea rt at tack before age 60 had vessel layers that were 11 percent thicker, and their vessels were 55 percent' less re· active than blood vessels in children with no parental h istory. 'This ~ not a measurement of clinical disease."Tn:visan said "These were noninvasive, direci measure- or ments vessel structure and function.

The establishment of German colonies in Africa at the end ofth< 19th century in~ the number of encounters between Africans and Germans, but prior to World War II, their numbers were small. Many of them fell victim to the Third Reich's raci;ll theo· ries and its resulting qllllpaign of forced sterilization and murder. With the American occupation of Germany after World War II , Afro Germany was reborn from relation ships b<tween black American Gls and German women. Their ranks sweUed further as many thousands of immigrant wo rkers from Mozambique, Angola and Namibia were imported to deal with East Germany's chronic lal>or shortage. African students and refug= who settled in Germany have brought additional d<pth and b=dth to the Afro-C,nnan tultural mix. "One of the r<asons that Afro· Germans ha~ captumllhe interest of scholars across the humanities," Mazon says.

Zl. 2111VD1.3t lo.5 Rap ae"tea 30 years of sharing science Forum continues to help local educators .improve teaching 8f ~ L£WAHDOWSIU January, is open to the general public, as wdl as teadlers. RtpOittr Contributor N 1970, George NancoUas, then a young professor in the Department of Chemistry and provost of the former fac. ulty of Natural Sciencrs and Mathematics, took his idea to improve interoction between the univemty and educators throughout the area and developed a progr.un that catered to sharing now devdopments in science, t<ehnology and mathematiC>. NancoUas recognized a need to expose high -school teachers in the I natural sciences and mathematics to a host of new and exciting developments in their fields. Thirty years later, Nancotlas is a SUNY Distinguished Professor and tnternationally known for his re- search on th e physical chemistry of the interface between solids and liquids, and the mechanis m of crystal growth and dissolution . But NancoUas, who also holds the larkin Chair in the Department of Chem- istry, seems to have only one question concerning the lengthy run of the W~tern New York Science and Technology Forum: Why mess with a good thing? "lhe reason I put it together was that I thought there should be much better relationships between tht' uni - versity and the teachers. The idea W<b to mount a pmgr.un about talks and visits, and so on, that wou ld expose the teachers to state-of- the-art devel opmen ts in scien ces that they then could pass on to their students,'' says Nanco lias. who has remained direc tor of the forum since its inception. " I felt that something was needL-d, and we had nothing in place." The program, Nancollas points o ut, is about educating and enticing the teach ers, who, h e sa id , sh o uldn't have to know a lot about a subject in order to enjoy it. A3 an added benefit, the forum falls into line with th e current New York State teaching cu rricuJum, which encourages t~chers to reach outside their areas of expertise for a broader per· spcctivc, he s.1ys. The se ri es, whi ch run s eac h Wednesday from September through "It's easy to blind people with science, and that's a complete waste of time," he notes.

The main ....,..,..,.. <In Oct. 30. outline recommendations for the assessment of instructional effectiveness an d how to implement those recommendations. The resolutions are based on the six recommendations in the report, although they were revis$nd expanded after discussions 'with the FSEC last Aprill9 and a first reading before the full Faculty Senate on May 2. A "preamble" atlached to the resolutions states that although the tripartite mission of most large universities is research, teaching and service. research is weighed far more heavily in promotion-and-tenure decisions than teaching and service. "To maximize instructional effectiveness," the institution must ensure that faculty teaching accomplishments are encouraged, nurtured and rewarded as are research accomplish- ments, the prearnbk says. Moreover, "'just as a 'culture of teaching' needs to be nourished and expected of the faculty and administration,sotoodoesa'culnu.ofleaming' need to beoome integral to the cxp<rier>U of being a student." Although the responsibility for learning rests with students, faculty members have an important role to play in helping students sua:eed, it adds. The first resolution requjres that a syllabus be published for each course that addr~ such issues as general goals for the course, specific objectives that m be achieved to demonstrate mastery, how students will be evaluated, attendance policies and what additional help is available for students. Another resolution asks that the deans be responsibl~ for ensuring that teaching portfolios be part of promotion-and-tenure decisions, and that portfolios include, for each course taught, a course syiJabus; student evaluations ofimtruction; instructor self-evaluations of their teaching philosophy, methods and effectiveness; evidenu of the effectiveness of instruction, and procedures for identifying students having difficulties and what is done to help them. Other resolutions ask thai the provost, in collaboration with the deans, initiate and fund a "professional development effort" for faculty to expand and improve their .. instructional repertoires;" that the provost and deans develop a list of"student academic responsibilities," such as understanding and following the course syllabus; knowing and following the urtiversity policy rq;arding drop-add dates, making up inoomplete grades, etc.. and requesting from the instructor the need for extra ~on an assignment or topic, and that the Methods of Inquiry (MOl) program be maintained and strengtbe:ned. Samuel Shaclr., professor and chair of the Department of Mathematics, pointed out that the term syllabus is ·misused• in the first resolution, and that the wording should be changed to "course description" to better rdlect the content of the resolution. He added that the resolution docs not spell out when the syllabus should be distributed to students, suggesting that it indicate syllabi must be handed out within the first week of dass, or some other stated time frame. William Baumer, professor of philosopby, proposed that the word• ing on the resolution be changed to "syllabus and oourse policies." "It's appropriate to spell out what the f!i]es are," he said, • ... and that should be in a document that indudes the syllabus." Baumer added that he "would not be oontent" to have the syllabus and course policies available within the first week. "That should be a handout, that ought to be the first thing you give out in class," he said.

He said his committee was ~rk­ ing on two workshops-one scheduled for Oct. 20 on applying t<d!niques from the Methods of Inquiry oourse to other courses,and.anotber for the spring on othes issues associated with teaching effectiveness.

Information on athletes' injuri~ should be reported To the Editor: I suggest that the &porter m~ a policy of reporting, with some medical p=ision, about the injuries suffered by or inflicted upon the student-athletes. The student-athletes~ an energetic and difficult time competing every week, and there may be some sort of accidental or unintentional conspiracy of silence. When valued, experienced athletes or earnest, beginnirig athletes become injured, they usually just drop out of the local news coverage. It would be IDOl'< human and humane to publish information about the seriousness of the injury, the diagnosis, the progress and. I hope. the cures. The policy. should include pre-season tryouts. The number of severe sprains, breaks, ligament tears. joint damage and spinal-cord injuries should be recognized and respected. For the university to become anything like a genuine community, we must learn the names of the student-ath letes who become either short · or long-term casualties. Urtainly, the conventional wisdom wouJd say that even major injuries are "just part of the game," or that "the young heal quickly," but within a university, some sensible or experienced people should insist that the human costs be registered. Cordially, VktorDoyno Professor of English Voting faculty in fact. During this time, as weiJ , more than 80 Centers for Excellence were established. The interdiscipli - nary quality of such efforts as the ·roshiba Stroke Research Center and the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics, is a good indica tor of faculty vitality, he said. Tracing the ebbs and flows of en rollment during the 1990s. Greiner praised the Office of Admissions for its succcssfuJ campaigns of late. In particular, he cited Web-based appli cations, the opening of a New York City admis.'iions office, the establish ment of fall Pre,•icw Day, the launch mg of a marketing campa ign and merit scholarships as factors instru mental in achieving these targets. Retention of students also has 1mproved substantia ll y in recent years. the president asserted. He: citt.'C.i''UB 101 " (a single-credit elective course to help fi rst-year students learn more about a vast institution ). Web-based academic services, im proved academic counseling and advisement procedures, a wider vari ety of housing options and en hanced athletic and recreation programs as having made the difference at a critical juncture. The 1990s saw "extremely gener· ous" state support for such capital ment and also improving the quality of student life is the high priority being placed on technology and technology development. "Technol.ogy is highly featured here;' Greiner said, adding that two-thirds ofUB's students now arrive with a COfilputer in hand; the university makes an effort to help the remaining third procure a PC, thus ensuring them access to the technology required for their academic success. He c ited Yahoo's rating of UB as tied with UCLA for the lOth "most wired" school honors. Added to this technological fabric are su ch phenom ena as the cybraries and the: Center for Computational Research, which has ..opened a world of possibilities" to so many in so many disciplines. The downside to these auspicious developments. Greiner said. is the diminished sta te tax support, with tuition increases and philanthropy largely making up the difference, but not without a cost to the institution. Regrettably, in G reiner's view, thf.· university overly depended on tu ition to mitigate the diminished state tax support. Student fees were a mainstay during this period, Greiner reported. Against this back· drop, sponsored research was rather flat during the decade; this is " wor- projects as the Center for the Arts, the Biomedical Research Building. the Natural Sciences Complex. UB Stadium and the Math Building-pan risome" to the president. Turning to the university of 2000 a nd beyond, Greiner noted that "we're a comprehensive u11,iversity of a total state investment for capital with a big College of Arts and Sci· ences and a full panoply of profes- initiatives of more than $200 million. Parallel with this development, Greiner said, were the privately financed projects of the decade, such as lbe Commons and especially the extensivt>--and popular-new student housing(FlickingerCourt,HadleyVdlage and South Lake Vtllage). Co mplementing this develop - sional schools." In terms of enroll ment, UB is still relatively small given the scope and range of programs offered. It is imperative, he said, that the university maintain excellence both in the professional schools, where conditions are generaiJy favorable. and in the human i- ties, where some thoughtful redefi nition may be needed. The School of Engineering and Applied Science<; is ripe for expansion; information science and social sciences net:'d development, too, he said. As for improving graduate edu cation, it will be important to Im prove graduate-assistant stipends and to attract·students "by red efin ing the master's degree <b a honor· able goal ." Collaboration <Kross the sciences will .continue to bl' a !...e)' element of s u cces~. he sa1d, cspe · cially in drug discovery and bi o medical initiative~.

On · tinuing to develop distance-learnmg mitiatives, such as the recenlly an nounced online MBA program of fcn~d by the School of Management . While individual research will continue· to be important, research at UB-to be trul y su ccess ful must empha size ccntt.·r - and project-related efforts, such as digital arts, which could promise fund ing opportunities across the disci plines. The universiry, Greiner said. will be much more aggressive ln pursuing research-funding opportunities at both the state and federal levels. 'Ibe university also must enhance technology-transfer efforts, he said, as weU as emphasize its standing as an lnteUcctual and a financial engine for the region. Also covered in the president 's ad dress were plans for a new Student Services Building, philanthropic op· portunities and discussion of a Lee Road project. which, Greiner said, would collapse "the psychologi cal distance" between the spine and the Ellico« Complex. Enrollment C-u.-d " - ,..,. 1 revenues stay on the campus"havc had an impact on school performance," he says. In addition, a cumulative investment of $3.5 milli on in hono rs cant1y from last fall. Sullivan said. The headcount for graduate/ professional students totals 8.14 7, short way" in, increasing the yield of of the target of8,318 but higher than the Fall1999 headcount of7.998. Sullivan pointed out that SUNY had increased the graduate target 5 higher-quality students, as wcll as percent-from 8,000 to 8.318- improving retention. Sullivan credited fuculty and staff from Fall 1999 to Fall 2000. He noted that Provost Elizabeth with "working harder at recruiting better students, especially the Office of Admissions and the advisement staffs, and lauded the efforts of Nicolas Goodman, former vice provost for undergraduate education. Capaldi is working with the deans to increase enrollment at the mastcr's-program level."We believe there's a market out there and we can tap into it," he said.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Certainly aver the past ...-a! years, the university has made a significant investment in tcdmology. in networking. labs and public facilities, desktop equipment.

For me, the overriding "near-term" priority is to assist in the building of a curriculum that uses k<:hnology in creative ways. In May 2003, the Access99 class will graduate, the first class with the studmt-access requirement At that time, we as a univ=ity need to have developed a curriculum, ranging from large intro courses to smaU upper-division seminars and graduate courses, that integrates technology in appropriatewaysandchallengesstudents. We won't have the whole thing done by '03. We can't_,11 be learning and revising all along the way. But we do need the basic structure in place. Technology can provide a path of inquiry that students could not experienCe in any other way. But it is very hard for instructors io develop materials that give students this kind dumpofbits and bytes isvr:rydiffm:nt than useful information.

PSUA seeks service initiatives III The Offke of Publk Servke and Urban Affairs will publish the third volume of its compendium of faculty - dir«t~ public-SC"rvice mitiatives undertaken at UB. Faculty mem~rs a~r needed to assist in completing thi; mven- tory of public-service activities. Th< 2001 publication will highlight and report o n the ex-pertise and scholarship that VB faculty mem · hers have applied to public needs since 1998. It is important that pUblic higher edl}cation emphasize 1ts involvement in, and commitment to, both thr -commun ity and the societ y m which we Live. This is the primary goal of the 200 I compendium. Public servicr is servi~e that is based on scholarship and con tributes to thr overall miss ion of the university. It includes activi ties that represent sustained cont ributio ns that can create new k.nowlrdge, train others in the discipline or area of expertise, aggregate and in terpret kno wledge so as to make it undersiandable and useful, o r disseminate the knowledge to the appropriate usr r o r audience . The compendium also will indude an expanded section on US's service- learning initiatives. Se:rvice-leammg initiatives foster student learning and career devdopment and are integrated into the academic curriculum so that students are provided with faculty-supervised opportunities to apply skiUs and knowledge in real-life situations. A survey and a memo asking for a description of public-service andlor scrvicr-leaming projects have been mailed to mrmbers of the campus community. Copies of the survey forms aJso are available at the PSUA Web Si t~ at <wlngt.buffa lo.edu/ psua >. The deadline for returning the survey forms is Oct. I.

Although his music is stylistically similar to th~ music heard in th~ film. the wildly energetic Levya has a·contagious styl~ of his own, per- formed in a voic~ that is at once raspy and guttural, sweet and melodic.

This finding is the result of a nearly 30-year follow-up of the association belwecn impaired pulmonary function ~d aU causes of mortality, conducted by UB researchers. Results of the study appear in the September issue of Chest. The UB researchers found that the 20 percent of men with the poorest lung function when the study began were more than twice as likely to have died during follow-up than men with the best lung function . Women in the lowest group were more than I 1/2 times more likely to have died. women and men between the ages of 15 and 96.

Results showed that lung function was a significant predictor of Jon+ gevity in the whole group for the full 29 years of follow-up. " It is important to note that the risk of death was increased for participants with moderately impaired lung function, not merely those in the lowest quintile,.. Schilnemann said . " This suggests that the in creased risk isn't confined to a small fraction of the population with severdy impaired lung function ... The reasons lung functi on may predict mortality are no t clear. Schunemann said. noting that '" creased risk is found in persons who never smoked, as well as among smokers. "The lung is a primary defense or- ganism against environmental toxins. It could be that impaired pulmonary function could lead to decreased to Ierana: against these toxins. Research· ers also have speculated that de creased pulmonary function could underlie an increase in oxidative stress from free radicals, and we know that oxidative stressf>lays a role in the dcvclopment of many diseases." SchOnemann said the fuct that a relationship does exist betwttn lung function and risk of death should motivate physicians to screen pa tients for pulmonary functi on, even if more research is needed to determine why. " It is surprising that this simple measurement has not gained more importance as a general health-as sessment tool," he noted.

To the Editor. I have just compldtd time wonderful years as' a member of the President's Rrnew Board. I say wonderful because the activity of serving on the board W2S intellectually stimulating. the company insightful and the sense I have acquired of the breadth and quality of faculty at this university a bit of a revelation. However, ! would be remiss were I not to recognize that my experience is wholly contrary to .what I as a faculty member thought of the PRB. Indeed, the board is almost universally feared and reviled by both faculty. departments and schools in this university. It is seen as a group of nit -pickingformalists, out of touch with the realities that departments face and generally unable to appreciate scholarly norms outslde (or as others see it, inside) between the departments and the PRB, the majo<question that is posed in any case is simple: Are we being fiim -tlammed? As any department has every reason to engage in dimflam in order to pro1ect its autonomy, the PRB's question is a reasonable one. Sri11, if the PRB is asking a reasonable question. why does it seem to the dq>irtments that the PRB's actions= little more than fty-speck· ing a candidate's record in punuit of an enfotud, ~rmed formalism? The reason is simple. Depart- Why are these two views of the PRB so at odds? The reasons are structural. While in form the PRB passes on the appointment and pro- ments routinely present their cases with opaque files, files that do not speak in language that even reasonably well-intentioned outsiders can understand When presented with an opaque file. almost aU that the l?oard can do to decide whether it is being fiim-Oammed is to poke and prod at the edges, then engage in Byspecking. Such a response may seer' to be irrelevant to the case, but, given the records that the PRB has to work with, it is the best that the board can motion of individual scholars to do. So, if the departments and tenure and/or full professorship, giveo that the board sees very few negative departmental or decanal recommendations. what it does is review the actions of departments, and &om a position that is generally outside of the rtlevant disciplin ary norms. Such a postUR means that the PRB usuaUy is attempting to protect the university from the actions of its departments. though occasionally attempting to protect an individual scholar from the actions of his or her department No departmenr wants even the dean's nose in its bwincss, much less that schools want less annoying work from the PRB. assembling more understandable, more transparent files is how to get those results. On the basis of my service on the PRB, I would offer time rules that might aid in preparing such files: • RULE I. Fess up. Occasionally there aresupem.an among us. How- the sciences. of an omrubus coUKtion of university busybodies. Giveo the structural relationship ever, most of our colleagues are good, though not superstar, teach- ers and researchers. Hiding that fact , or any other adw:rse fact, may work in a single case, but if discovered will hann not just the candidate in question, but other possibly even moredeserving candi whose cases are presented to'the.t>o" ereafter. The PRB has a sutprising 1 ·- tutional memory; a reputation that a department can't be trusted lasts a long time and impacts the careers of many candidates. • RULE 2. Explain. A candidate who fits into a department 's program for delivering on its teaching, research and service obligations will have more credibility than one who seems to be a Martian, landed ran · domly among the earthlings. That means that the difference between being really useful and being sim ply one of the "good ole boys" is crucial to convincing the PRB that a departmental decision is worthy of being trusted • RULE 3. Put your best foot for ward. Presenting a disorganized CV is the equivalent of showing up for one's thesis defen.se in jeans and a tom t -shirt. And presenting a puffed up CV is the equivalent of showing up for the same event in formal at tire. Either presentation of the self raises disturbing questions of judgment at a time 'when such questions cannot possibly be helpful to the candidate. Strive for the maximum of order with the minimum of fluff. This means that types of scholar- ship--books, articles, conference proceedings. etc.; peer-reviewed and unreviewed-need be sensibly categorized; teaching load and grant participation, where present, rea sonably detailed, and professional, commun.ity, university and depart ment activities limited to items of some significance. I have sent three pages of more detailed recoinmendations to the chair.; of aU departments. If individuals wish copes, I will be pleased to supply them. john Henry Schlegel ProftSSOr of Law ~oot~all Rutsen 59 , UB 0 The- b..d out ....

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

SIS to offer new graduate program An MBA for entrepreneurs m Management offers new non-credit MBA certificate program By JOHN D£UA CONTIIADA Reporter Contributor T doan't have the same cachet as a fuU-fledged MBA degree, but who needs a credential when you're your own boss? And who has time for class- I room instruction when you're the company's CEO; CFO and CIO aU roUed into one? Targeted to busy entrepreneurs a nd wo uld - be ~ ntrepreneur s worldwide, an Online Micro- MBA in Entrepreneurial Studies- believed to be the first of its kind-is being offered jointly by the VB School of Manage ment and The In stitut e for Entrepren eurship, based in Albany. The non -credit certificate program provides an overview of topics commonly covered by credit-bearing MBA programs, with an emphasis on real-world business applications and strategies useful to the entrepreneur or business mru1ager.

Topics covered indude.business-plan development, marketing, entrepreneurial roles, eco mmerce, supply and demand , budge tin g and family -business management. VB School of Management fuc- ult y and staff developed the program's content and technology. " Many entrepreneurs have little forma1 busi ness training; much of their bu si ness knowledge comes fro m instinct. experience or trial and crro;r, which can amount to a pretty steep tuition," says Lewis Mandell, dean of the School of Management. "The Micro-MBA in Entrepreneurial Studies offers entrepreneurs a more comprehensive understanding of the business applications they use everyday, and it builds knowl- edge of skills they'U need to better manage their enterprises." "To our knowledge no other uni versity offers this type of program for entrepreneurs," says J. Felix Strevell, chairman and CEO of The Institute for Entrepreneurship." \Ve are proud to be pan of the new learning revolution with such a great program." Tuition for the program is S995 per student. There are no degr\ rc- quirements and new students can. enroll at anytime.

But for this energetic, emeritus professor of physical geography. it is a technical retirement only.

And then I'll be off in the spring semester and the summcrdoingwriting, research and try· ing to slowdown a little bit, but it's very hard for me."

And it means continued worldwide travels with his wife, Use, and more visits to Baltimore to see the couple's daughter, Monica, and grandson, Kyle.

It is a series of free pubUc lectures by CAS faculty members that will explore a variety of subjects from an affection fur the rotting smdl of "high" meat (Sept 18) toaclvan= in the treatment of auto-intmune diseases (Jan. 22). The series, which will run SepL ISApril 23, also will feature tales from inside "Dr.Castro's Island" (Nov. 13) and an examination of several of Western New York's toxic sites now in the news (Oct. 16). Spring events will include a visit to the 190 I Pan Americm Exposition (March 19), a look at sports as a fe'minist issue (April 23) .and a discussion of the "fate of stories" (Feb. 26). Lecturers will include senior CAS faculty members from the departments of Philosophy, English, Chemistry, Modem Languages and literatures, Microbiology and Sociology. All talks will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Screening Room, Room 11 2, of the Center for the Arts on the North Campus.

What persuades someone to over· come the rotting smell of decay and cultivate a taste for .. high"' meat? Korsmeyer, author of .. Making Sense OfTaste: Food And Philosophy" (Cornell Univ. Press, 1999) knows the answers. Those who attempt to understand sophisticated eating and the "art" of cuisine usually approach the subject by oonsidering the pleasures of taste. Some of the most profound pleasures of the table, however, are actually disgusting on first exposure. They' re repulsive, rather than tempting. The desire to eat certain kinds of particularly difficult foods Ues not in the search for pleasure, but in the thrill of extreme and dif. ficult emotions. a phenomenon that ties eating with the sublime. This lecture wiU explore some examples of terrible eating and traverses the borderline between the revolting and the tasty, the disgusting and the delicious, revealing that it is slim. • Oct. 16 "Not Love Canal: Environmental Problems in WNY" Joseph A.

Buscaglia will present a candid view of a country that for most of its recent history has been poorly understood by those on tl!eoutside.

It all started as part of the United Way/Day of Caring, said Dave Ballard, associate director for stu· dent life and team leader for the project that eventually would turn into an eight-by-10-foot wood children's playhouse. Ballard and his Day of Caring team-Dawn Whited, Johnny Garcia, Cindy Halm, Phyllis Aorio and Fran Ciccia, all of the Student Unions; Matt Deck of Dental Medicine; Rob Sugtia of Athletics; Joe HalfcrofPhysia,and JutieSmithand Ed Brodka of the Leadership Ceoter-wereassignedasoneoflOteams that each would build a playhouse. But when they got downtown to Lafayette Square at 9 a.m. on Aug. 16, Ballard said, it was apparent that this wasn't quite going to be what they anticipated. Instead of finding the construction kit they expected and the tools needed to put it together,thecrewfoundtwo-hy-fours, roofing materials and sheets of and by 11:30 un., they had con· structed the base and two and a half walls of their playhouse--<llld run out of lumber.

The only reason those guys stopped at 5:30p.m. was because Home Depot said the (playhouse) unit had to go on the truck."

Parents of children at the daycare center plan lo gather at some point to stain the playhouse and do a few more small things to it, Ballard said.

Lavvschoolapplicationssurge . , MAllY IIETit SPINA News Services Editor TUDENTS are applying in record numbers to the UB Law School, thanks to a per- S sonalized team approach for marketing a first -rate quality education. Applications to the Law School were up 40 percent this year-from 844 in !999to 1,178 in 2000-the second-highest increase of the 182 American Bar Association -accred- ited law schools. according to figures available to the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC). According to Edward Haggerty, a SpOkesperson for the !.SAC. liB Law School enjoyed the highest increase in applicati~ns of all the established ABA Jaw schools. topped only by the newly accredited Florida Coastal Law School in Jacksonville, Fla. "It's a remarkable increase in applications, well ahead of the national average." said Haggerty. Nationally, the total number of applicants is up 3.4 percent. Nine law schools had an application increase of 30 percent or more; 117 schools had an increase; 61 had a decline, and the rertlllin<kr had no change. Though applications to UB Law School have increased greatly, the size of the first-year class this fall is 237,just5 more than last year's 232. As a result, the law school has become more selective. The median grade:point av•rage of the incoming class has moved up, from 3.18 last yearto 3.31 this year. So has the median LSAT score, from !53 to 154.

When weighing the pluses and minuses of potential graduate and professional schools, "It's a buyer's market." says Wdey. Potential applicants can afford to be choosy, and choosy they are. "Family ties or obligations, by chance or choice, often limit where students apply," Wdey notes. But UB holds a "fuJI house" of drawing cards. The law school's culture and curriculum is rich with opportunities for dual degrees and interdisciplinary study that can be tailored to fit the applicants' interests and career goals. lnterdisciptinary programs enable students to obtain both the J.D. de- Case Studies in Science: On Ill the Web and in the Classroom Although the c•se method .h•s been u~ for years to teach law, business, and medicine, it is not as common in science.

The teachers attending the annual institute not only wiiJ use their new skills in the classroom, but also will become US/Buffalo school district technology/literacy facilitators. Among the activities sponsored by the program are oral-history projects using multicultural literature, modeling successful academic writing and the production of community-based video documentaries and memoirs. To help them do their jobs, each teacher participating in the first institute received a digital movie camera, and each two-teacher schOol team received an iMac computer loaded with iMOVIE software and a lV-VCR setup with software to translate analog video signals to digital signals. Suzanne Miller, director of the summer institute and associate dean of the Graduate School of Education (GSE), sa~ education research has proven that the innovative use of multimedia technology in schools can improvo leaching and learning dramatically. All students benefit from the skilled use of critical technologies, with particularly impressive results among low-achieving stu dents with ~teracy problem.<. "Unfortunately," she sa~, "teach ers in financially strained urban districts and under-funded schools-the very teachers who need help most-have few opportunities to learn the dfectiveuseofthese tech nologies. Access to advanced tech nologies is severely limited, as is training in their wise use in literacy and subject -matter learning." Miller says the summer institute provides teachers with a new means to help studmts learn in an inquirybased (hands-on), learner-centered, project-oriented ~terncy atrriculum. This method , which involves video and written documentation of community-based experiences, has been shown to be very effective in spurring students on to pursue higher-level ~teracy and social studies learning, she adds. While other such programs frequently target teachers in Buffalo's magnet high scllools. the pilot institute focused instead on teachers from a grammar school, a voca tional high school and two other non -magnet high schools. The program, which ran from July 24 through Aug. 4, involved teams of one Eng.tlsh teacher and one social-studies teacher from South Park. McKinley and Kensington high schools and from Black Rock Academy. The teachers were taught how to use the new iMOVIE software from Macintosh, which they used to produce original videos about Buffalo, its schools. students and community issues.

The training and equipment make it possible .for the teachers to share immediately their new skills with middle-and high -school students, local teaching coUeagues and teachers statewide through distancelearning events and Web-based, professional-development modules. They also will help their students study and document their own communities through research, in terviews, writing and recording on videotape. These activities will help students develop skills and slr.ltegies to assist them in meeting new higher-level state learning standards in literacy, social science and other school subjects. The teachers' new skills also wiU be promulgated through the community-based UB/Buffalo School Districi Family Technology Clubs, in which parents and students will work collaborativtly to analyu media and information, and use complex technologies to communicate family and community stories. Using these stories, the"GtyVoias, CityVISions" project team will create an Urban Images Digital Library that will be a rich r=ura: for rurriculum development, teacher development and research in urban education. The team also will publish selected stories on public-IIC<rSS digital tei<vision and through a Web site. Milles says the ongoing project also will oontinue to fOSkr oollaborations between univmity faculty and groupo of teachers, community members and future teachers through the GSE Collaborative Research Network. The network supports collaborative inquiries on improving teaching and learning through use of the "City Voices, Cit y Visions" curricular projects and video products. "As far as we know, the multimedia technology described has never before been used for the purposes outlined here," says Miller. "Our purpose is to build a strong, collaborative program to foster student achievement and enhance their prospects for success.• The project is co-sponsored by the Buffalo Pub~c Schools and the GSE. the Urban Education Institute, the Collaborative Research Network and the Center for App~ed Technologies in Education (CATE), all at UB. CATE, dincted by Don Jacobs, is a program of the Division ofPub~c Servi.ce and Urban Affairs that serves as a liaison between the university and the Buffalo Public Schools Technology Initiative. UB faculty members involved in the "City Voices, City VISions" part· nership are· from the GSE and the departments of Media Study, History and American Studies, all in·the College of Arts and Sciences, and from the Department of library Studies in the School of Information Studies. ��81 Rep a..._ $efl!lies7,211/Vt32.111.3 ~ . us George ~J:;~Ur10 'i11ies a l(ite Sunday Thursday, September _, 7 Foi1-T~ Asses.s.tn«nt of Consent fDf' Sexual Contact ln Persons Wlli\'a~~~c:r..:e.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Policy to guide classroom conduct Greiner approves document designed to help faculty handle student disruption By SUE WUETCHER Reponer Editor ACULTY members now have specific guidelines to F help them deal with Stu· dent disruption in the classroom.

Javits awardees, limited to 12 a year, are selected annually by the NINDS Advisory Cou ncil based on their research history and productiviry. They may not apply for the honor. The NIH's description of the award states: "The ( Javits award) is made to distinguished investigators who haw a record of scientific exceUence and productivity, who are actively pursu- ing an area of research of strategic importance, and who can be ex· pected to continue to be highly pro· ductive for a seven-year period." Auerbach's research under this award will focus on acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neu rotransmitter involved in carrying chemical messages across certain brainsynapsesandacrossaU human ncrvc·muscle synapses. Acetylcholine receptors--proteins o n the cells receivi ng the message-hi nd the neurotransmitter and set in motion a surge of molecular activity that results in thought or motion . " Before the receptors come mto contact with the transm itter mol ecules, they are very, very quiet, but after they bind acetylcholine, they jump into action," Auerbach s.,id. " In less than a thousandth of a second, a is the rea-p tor so quiet before it comC<o receptor opens up a pore (a hole) in itself, which allows certain electrically charged ions nomtally present in ou r body fluids to move through there- into contact with the transmitter?

The educational mission of the clinical program at the school is t.o provide the necessary clinical exp;erience to our students so that they become competent general dentists. The publicservice mission of the clinical program is to provide high-quality oral health care to our patients and the community. The advanced degree programs have similar missions, but are focu~ on training residents in their chosen dental specialty and meeting the more complex needs of our patients. How does It fit Into the dental students' educational program? The dental students' participation in our clinical program increases as they progress through the four-year D.D.S. curriculum. The first -year students are introduced to the dini- cal program and , under careful guidance of faculty, provide limited patient The patient contact and responsibility increase over the next three years to the point where the majority of the fourth-year students' Lime is spent in the clinic. The fourth-year students also are under the guidance of our faculty, but are expected to provide comprehensive oral-health ca re for our patients. The students also rotate to off-site dental clinia; at the local affiliated hospitals for additional experience during their third and fourth years. car.: How many cOnks are there 7 There is one large general denti<try clinic (about200 dental operatories) and several smaller supporting clinics.\The Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryOinic, as well as the Orthodontic Oinic, Pedodontic <;:tinic and Xray Clinic, is separated from the main clinic for the safety and comfort of the patients.

The school receives about 10,000 r<quests each year for patient information/admission packets and provides dental care to approximately 6,000 patients per year with the great majority of patients coming from Buffitlo -and Erie County. Although the clinic is not free. the fees that are charged at the school clinic are reduced from 30·peroent to 60 percent as compared to the average private dental office fee.

After y<ars of preparation in Chinese martial arts, theater and culture, Nicholas Logue will spend the next I 0 months at the Beijing China Drama University studying classical formsofChinesetheater,specifically the movement techniques of the Chinese opera. He also will ieach courses in modern western drama to Chinese theater students. In explaining his fascination with explications of "movement" in the Ghinese culture, Logue notes that "the movement techniques utilized in Chinese drama are so strong that the executiOn of a single action may take several minutes to perform, and J"'l the audience is enraptured by the performer for e-very second.

His fascination with the culture of that martial art was so great that at age 12 he attempted to "devour" massive texts op Chinese history in order to gain insight into the homelandof Kung Fu. He continued his quest at US where, as a theater and dance rnajor, he enroUed in several classes that fed his craving for knowledge about China .

Rethinking insulin's effect Study suggests itl$Ulin may help protect against heart disease By LOIS 11A1W1 News Servkes Editor E XCESS insulin in the bloodstream does not appear to contribute to ath- erosclerosis or arterial clogging, despi~ the known association ofl'ype 2 diabetes with cardiovascular disease, a study by UB en- docrinologists has shown. The study, published in the July issue of 71ze journal of O inicnl Endocrillology a11d MeJabolism, showed that insulin reduced the expression of a molecule that promotes inflammation and dogging of arteries. Paresh Dandona, professor of medicine, direaor of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabo lism for UB and Kaleida Healih, and sen·ior author on the study, said the results indicate insulin may inhibit, rather than promote, dogged arteries. "These are the lint real findings showing that insulin may have an antiatherosderotic role,.. Dandona said. " It turns the whole thinking about insulin upside down." Type 2 diabetes, also known as ad ult-onset diabetes, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, but th~ precise nature of that link or links has eluded scientists. Persons with Type 2 dia~ usually produce sufficient in~ulin to bloodstream ofiCAM-1, which is expressed by the endothelium. the cell metabo~ sugar they consume, but known to promote inflammation in the linirtg of the arteries, has been associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease. The researchers set out to see if insulin may their cells do not respond to insulin's action, creating a condition called insulin resistance. 11lis results in increased sugar, in the form of glucose, in the bloodstream that, in tum, sig- nals the body to produce even more insulin to lower glucose levels. Resea rch ers have speculated that this excess insulin , a condition called hyperinsulinemia, may coil tribute to vascular disease in diabetics, but no direct causal mechanism has been found. Dandona and colleagues earlier had shown insu - lin helps vessels to dilate by increasing release of nitric oxide, a known vasodilator, and increasing expression · of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme that makes nitrous oxide. These results suggested that insu lin may help pro~ct against cardiovascular disease,Jather than con tributing to its development. To further assess insulin's poten tial as a protectant, Dandona and colleagues studied its role in the expres- sion of a component called intracellular adhesion moleeule- 1 (ICAM - 1). Increased concerrtr.itions in the layer lining blood vessels, and is inhibit expression of! CAM-I. Using human aorta endothelial cells, and exposing them to increasing amounts of insulin, the researchers were able to show that insulin decreased the expression of ICAM I and increased the expression of nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide. To determine if the reaction was related directly to insulin's ability to increase nitric' oxide, the researcherS exposed the cells to a compound known to inhibit its production. They found that when the production of nitric oxide was inhibited, the abilityofinsulintostop!CAM-1 production also was impaired. Also participating in the research were Ahmed Aljada, research assistant professor of medicine, and Rana Saadeh, Ezzat Assian and Husam Ghanirn, doctoral students working with Dandona. TheWilliamG.

Sugar: bad for teeth and arteries . , LOIS 11A1W1 News Services EditO< UGARY foods. notoriously bad for your teeth, also may be bad for your blood vessels and many othe~ areas of the body, UB endocrinologists have found. Their study, published in the August issue of The journal of Cliniml S Errdocrinology and Metabolism, shows that excess sugar in the bloodstream stimulates the generation of free radicals, the oxygen moleeules known to carnage cells lining blood vessels and many other organs. · "We've known for some time that eating certain foods, particularly those containing the antioxidant vitamins A, E and C. ain help protect against damage from free radicals," said Paresh Dandona, UB professor of medicine, director of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism for UB and Kaleida Health, and senior author on the study. "Ibis is the lint time anyone has shown that nutrition has a role in generating free radicals." Type U diabetes, a major researcll interest ofDandona and colleagues. is associated with an increase in freeradica.lgeneration,resultingindam age to fats, proteins and DNA. In earlier preliminary research, they hadshownthatwhenobesesubjects lost weight. there was a commensurate drop in free radicals. This lindingraisedthepossib\]itythatcertain typeS of food may be involved in producing free radicals. To test his hypo~esis, Dandona and colleagues selected glucose, the nutrient with the most direct impact on diabetics. They gave 14 healthy men and women who had fasted for 12 hours a drink composed of 75 grams of glucose-the simpl est form of s ugar~issolved in 300 milliliters of water-a little more than one cup. This amount of glucose is roughly equivalent to the sugar content in two cans of a cola drink. Dandona said. Another six participants. who served as controls, drank a water-saccharin solution. R<searchers took blood samples from all participants before the glucose_s:hallenge and at one, two and three hours after. Results showed there was no change in free-radical generation in samples taken from controls. However, in samples from subjects who drank the sugar water, free-radical generation increased significandy at one hour and more than doubled at two hours. Th e analysis al so showed an increase in the key protein component of an enzyme that promotes free-radical generation. At the same time, levels of a-tocopherol , theactiveform ofvitamin E and a powerful antioxidant , fell about 4 percent by hour two and remained depressed at hour three.

"I liked the work so well that I decided after that course that I wanted to make Potish folklore my master's thesis topic," sh~ says. One of her greatest pubtic relations successes., she: conteilds, was maneuv.ring that story and subsequently uncovering-literally-a topic for her thesis, which would later evolve into her book. That fa. vorite:.moment--certainly not for· gotten but perhaps now overshadowed by her most recent successis a source of humor for Silverman, who finds it ironic that she should still be doing public relations work on folklore. The twist is that lately, it's for her own cause. .. Here 1am, now, at the: other end, in my 40s, and guess what!

UViolence is simultaneously offensive and fascinating," he notes, "and this paradox, which has been exploited in literature for centuries, continues to trouble and engage us toclay. "Although a serious threat to social order, hardly a society exists that does not maintain some level of chronic violence," he adds. "lt saturates our world from the playgmund to the battlefield and itS causes and effects are the subject of contentious policy debates thmughout our society~ The university can and should inform this debate, he says, and help the larger community develop new perspectives on a subject of universal interest and concern. The series wiU run !Tom Septem ber through May. Among the issues to be addressed are personal and state-sponsored violence; the evolutionary aspects of violem:e; how such behavior is perceived by individuals and social groups, and how self-censorship and official censorship is used to .. remake.. violence in an effort to redefine reality. All events will be free and open to the public and will take place at 4 p.m. in the Screening Room in the Center for the Arts on the UB North Campus. • The series will open Sept. 12 with a roundtable discussion titled, "Why Violence?

Johnson, Frederic Wertham Professor of Law and Psydtiatry in Society, Department of Comparativr Literature, Harvard University, will present a lecture titled "The Poet's Mother: The Cases of Sylvia Plath and Charles Baudelaire."

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

UB is ·the only SUNY school to receive this suppOn from the state legislature, which comes on the heels of the university's move to Division 1-A and the addition of 22 scholarships to the football program. While that reclassification raised UB to the fUghest l'evel of intercollegiate competition in the nation, it also chaJIenged the university's equity situation, which had been on balance.

Growth cited as factor in quake devastation MCEER report finds rapid ,development in Turkey led to unregulated construction By DOfiAI.D GOtiAUIU Repon<r Contributor population growth and resulting development in Turkey's Kocaeli province were the main factors in the large-scale devastation and loss of life in last year's earthquake, according to areport by the Multidisciplinary Cen· ter for Earthquili Engineering Research (MCEER) .

H a part u.- e ==):=--=.:::=::- Anthropologist gets fellowships By SUE WUETCHUI Repontr Editor LTHOUGHUBanthmpologist Ana Mariella Bacigalupo has had her doctorate for o nly six years,herwork with the Mapuchean indigenous people ofOille--already has received reoognition from two major foundations. An assistant professor al UB, Bacigalupo will spend the 2000-01 academic year as a Roclcdeller Resident Fellow at the Institute for RescarchonWomcnatRutgmuru,.,.. sity. While there, she will oomplete "Shamans of the Cinnamon T~. Priestesses of the Moon: Geoder and Healing Amo ng · the Chilean Mapuche," an ethnography that explores the role of gender in the ethnic identity, lives and ritual practices of Mapuchc shamans, or machi, as they interact with local. Oillean nationa! and ~obal processes. Bacigalu po will use a Latin American and Caribbean Fellowship awarded from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation during 2001,-02 to fin is h the enthography and edit a volume written by Mapuchc authors. She says her study will challenge much of the oonventional wisdom about the nature of shamanism, and willotr.rncwwaysofthinkingabout shifting gendered identities in relation to shamanic practice, ethnic A identit y nationalism, tran s·nationalism and feminist disoourse.

Theyalsoernbodythefouraspects of the deity Ngunechen-rnale, female, young and old-in order to transcend gender and "beoome divine" to create new world orders and gain spiritual power. she says. Gender is one of the metaphors used by machi to mark polarizations, boundaries and tensions between local and national histories, as well as a way to express integratio n and crrate broader undmtandings of humanity, health and healing. she adds. Bacigalupo notes that as the local political power held by Mapuche men wanes and they gain prestige as external intermediaries with the Chileanstate, machihavet:aken over local male political functions, she says. Machi now are a "legitimizing factor in local and national politics," she adds. with some participating acU,.,ly in local Mapuchc m"""ments that oppose the Chileap government, while others accept invitations to the national palace Bacigalupo says he; goal is to "ex· amine such complex linkages between the Mapuche machi and the multiple worlds in which they practice in order to offer a more ad equate portrayal of Mapuche shamanism than currently exists and to contribute to a more profound undemanding of shamanism and its relationship to local, nationaJ and global contexts and feminism discourse." The study also will oontribute to the existing literature on transnationalism, globalization, post -oolonialism and gender studies, she notes. " Mapuche shamans juggle different worlds, identities and gen ders, and in doing so, question traditional constructions of sclllother, center/periphery and the notion of the boundedness of culture, identity and gender," she says. "Current studies have drawn at tention to the notion thatthe world is become a singular rationalized, modernized and highly industrialized place on the one hand, while notingtheincrtasingimportanceof nationalism.. inter-ethnic hostility and competing cultural meanings on the other. "This study on Mapuche shamans will demonstrate that local practices rdlectadivmityof popular, local and national disoourses that resist and play back systematicity and order."

Software to benefit West Iridies students ay PATWCIA DCIMOVAH News Services Editor FfER years of limited access to students, higher education in the Caribbean received a major boost this=when UB put the region's first distance-learning Webl!oazd online at the University of the W<st Indies (UWJ). The new Web application, which was provided free of charge, is a highly differentiated, distancelearning software package marked by its simplicity and -ability to link messages under a topic so that all related communication can take place. The new WebBoard places UWl in a position to increase vastly the number and quality of its distana:learning programs. This is critically irnporuuit for the university, which serves the higher education needs of 15 English-speaking Caribbean nations scattered over 2,600 miles. Distance-learning pioneer John Ellison, UB professor of information and library studies, is =ponsible for the ongoing development of the new application. He Currently is a Fulbright fellow at UWl, where he supervised the installation of the new software and is instructing faculty in its use. "In general, lUsher education for Caribbean residents has been ..-:ly limited bydistana and financial a>nstraints posed by oourse fees, expen- A - sive books, tra..!, room and board," Ellison says. "Pr-ogranu----paicularly apensM ones like engineering---ere DOl always duplicated at tht three UWl campuses on Jamaica, Barbados and llioidadfrobago, so Caribbean students otien must traYd great distances to a campu5 that offm tht program of their cboioe. "A oollqjl! education is highly valued and not takm for granted here. Because p<l'YUty is endemic to the region. families often must sacrifia greatly to permit a child to attend the university and students oommonly share books, food and housing," be says. "As a result, only 2 percent of high-school graduates in the Caribbean attend oollege, oompared to 20-30 percent of graduates in developed oountries, a situation that has serious, negative, long-term implications for the region's efforts to oompete in the world economy~ ~ison says that because of its vested interest in making higher education more accessible, UWl established the UWl Distance Learning Centre and 27 receiving sites throughout the Caribbean where students can "attend• distancelearning oourses originating at one of UWJ's three campuses But the number, variety and availability of these oourses had been severely ~cted because the university had to depend upon technical support from fomgn universities to get courses online and deliver them to students. As a result of the new WebBoard, this is no the case.

Adds Ellison: 001 What we've in- stalled here started out as .easy-touse, well-designed freeware that's been oontinually tweaked and improved by UB education instructional technology specialists Logan Scott and Robert Perini The basic board, familiar to most Internet users and certainly to today's oollege students, consists of Web pages dedicated to a specific class that present oourse curriculum, instructions and reading lists. To this initial design, UB specialists added a home page, links pages, a discussion board, student bio pages, information pages and a •oontrol planner• so instructors can shut dawn the pages or archM: them ~ -ln~­ text, audio links and PDP fila on a screen.

Such a oomparison always will make the group and the oompany look good, said GreggS. Wilkinson, professor of social and preventive medicine, because of an innate bias called the "healthy-worker effect." Wilkinson's study of female E nuclear-weapons workers, pre- sented recently at the annual meeting of the Society for Epidemiologic Research, illustrated a robust ex- ample of the healthy-worker effect. well-known among male \'lOckers but studjed far less frequently among female worke:rs. "The healthy-worker effect curls its influence whm fewer deaths are observed for worlctts in an industry, compared to the U.S. popula- tion," Willcinson said "The understanding is that people must have at least a minimpmlevel of health to hold down a job, whereas the general population includes every- one-----healthy and sick." Wilkinson oompared death statistics for female worltm at 12 nuclearweapons sites with the number of deaths expected to occur in the female population of the United States. The study covered a total of 67,976 women who had worked at any of the sites before Jan. I, 1980. It was one of the largest analyses to date of female worlctts. Results showed that at all of the sites, the number of deaths was either similar to or lower than that of the female population at large. "Industries teed to use such findings to show how well they'.-. doing," Wilkinson said "Butifyouaregoing to get the right.._ you have to use appropriate oomparisons. An appropriate oomparison would be worlctts who are similar. either un- "\ e:xposed workers in the .;.,., plan~ or worltm who are similar but work in another plant where the exposure of interost does not exist." However, the healthy-worker effeet also can skew results of bealth studies involving workers within the same factory. Wilkinson rompared death statistics for female nuclearweapons worlctts who wore badges to monitor radiation exj,osun, with deaths of women who did not wear badgesbecausetheyw.n:n'te:xposed to radiation. These results showed that there w.tt 25 per=t more deaths from all causes and 17 percent more deaths from aD cancers among the unbadged workers. Wilkinson said this oounterintuitive result may exist either because less robust workers "self-select" themselves out of jobs that involve exposun to radiation, or because department beads make those selectioos thernseh..s. Wbatever the cause, W.ucioson said the study suggests that the healthy-worker effect also exists for female worlctts and must be takm into aax>unt in any studies of occupational health. "Studies of radiation effects among nuclear workers must be restricted to those worlctts who are monitored for radiation aposures," be stated "Indusionofwunoniton:d workers will intn>clua a bias and give an inaccurate result." Additional researchers on the study were Roger L. Priore and Michael Fries of the UB Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, and Robin Graham and B.

Also Norman Trieff, Jennifer Jones and Laura Ray of the tJni>c-sity of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, and Jeanne Loughlin of the Epidemiology Research Institute in Newton l..owo:r Falls, Mass.

Environmental engineers work to apply engineering principles to the protection of human health and ecosystems. Graduates with a bachelor's degree in environmental engineering find jobs with private consulti ng firms, industry and government agencies. They also have the skills and, in most cases, the academic background to pUr· sue a variety of other careers or graduate degrees in engineering, law, medicine,· management, computer science or Other fields that have an environmental component. "This new degree, offered by US's Department of Civil, Struc · tural and Environmental Engineering, provides students with an opportunity to gain a comprehensive education that will prepare them for sociaJJy conscious careers in a rapidly expanding, high-technol ogy field," said AJan J. Rabideau , associate professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering and degree coordinator. Rabideau notes that there always will be a stable demand for environmental engineers to manage society's infrastructure for water supply and waste management "For several years now," he added , "the local demand here in Western New York has exceeded the supply of qualified graduates and the national job market is strong as welL Furthermore, as federal and state environmental programs evolve in response to the global economy's impact on public health and the environment, new opportunities are continually emerging for env ironmental engineers." The UB curriculum is designed to meet all requirements of the Ac - creditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and it prepares students academically for licensing as professional engineers. " It was certainly time to establish an environm-ental engineering curriculum at UB," said Mark Karwan, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "This new degree program will enrich our undergraduate curriculum offe rings and make UB more attractive to a subset of prospective students who previously would have had to go elsewhere." Rabideau said that in addition to traditional water and wastewa ter management , environmental engineers address problems related to air-pollution control, industrial hygiene, radiation protection, hazardous-waste management, toxic-materials control, storm-water management , solid-waste disposal, public health and ecosystem management. "To address such problems, they must acquire tools fro m business, information technology and the natural sciences, in addi tion to tradjtional engineering methods," he added.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Computing program approved By EU.£N GOlDIIAUM News Services Editor N advanc~ -certificate program tn computa tional science designed to train science-and-engineeringograduate students at UB in scientific computing has been approved by the New York State Education Department and the Chanctllor of the Stite University of New York. The program, a cooperative effort between UB's Center for Computational Rfsearch (CCR) and participating UB ·departments, is available to students pur>Uing master's and doctoral degrees in mathematics, physics, chemical engineering and mechanical and aerospace engineering. "'The certificate program will make these students a lot more marketable to prospective employers," said E. Bruce Pitman, chair of education, outreach and training programs at CCR and a professor of A mathematics. The program, one in a series of certificate programs recently ap- proved at VB, strengthens UB's mission to provide graduates with training within traditiona1 degree programs that is consistent with the changing needs of the industries in which they eventually will work. Pitman explained that onu rking in the emerging field of computational scie nce reqUires a stro n g background in a panicul~r discipline o r application, along with training in high-performance computing. A multidisciplinary field that unites computer technology with many kinds of disciplinary research, com· putational science often is called the .. th ird science,"' complementing theoretical and laboratory science. In addition to high-technology, fields that require this kind of ex pertise include the investment community, where advanced computing is used to develop new financ ial products; advanced engineering and design firms for the automotive and aerospace industries. and national laboratories, where scientists use scientific computing to do every- thing from predicting the weather to designing new chemical catalysts. "This certificate is a valuable ad dition to US's growing inventory of certificate programs, which are designed to provide students with the advantage of a credentia1 certifyi ng that they have obtained education and training targeted to a specific area of expertise," said Myron A. Thompson, associate provost , ex· ecutive director of the Graduate School and interim vice provost for graduate education.

These channels or pores in the cell B membrane-called stretch-acti- vated channels because stretching the membrane causes them tB open and doS<'---have been implicated in functions as diverse as the senses of touch and hearing. muscle oontraction and coordination, and blood pressure and volume regulation. This is the first report of a substance--in this case a small pro - tein-that specifically blocks stretch-activated channels. Until now, it has been difficult to associate these channels with particular functions because there were no chemical compounds known spe- cifically to block them. Results of the research, a collaboration with scimtists from the University of Virginia, Michigan State University and NPS Pharmaceuticals, appeared in the May issue of the }oumal of Geneml PhysioiDgy. The newly identified peptide toxin could have several clinical applications related to cell mechanics, said Frederick Sachs, UB professor of physiology and biophysics, and senior researcher on the project. "For <xample, cells swell during congestive heart failure. The peptide interferes with that process. We also know from earlier work that stretchingthe heart can initiate fibrillation. If we can block the stretch-activated channels, we may be able to block fibrillation, a major cause of death following heart attacks." Addressing another area, Sachs said tumor invasion of brain tissue produces a deformation of the surrounding normal cells, causing them to release growth factors that may facilitate or accderate tumor growth. Stretch-activated channels may be the signal for nonnal cells to release growth factors. "This peptide blocks those channels and may aid in the treabnent of brain tumors," he said "Stretchactivated channels ~play a role in the successful transibon of newborns from the placental oxygen supply to using their own lungs.• Having developed a method to observe stretch-activated channels in the laboratory, Sachs and Thomas Suchyna, postdoctoral fellow working with him, set out to find a compound that would block them. "Basically we went on a fishing expedition, screening things we cause it is a big spider that produces large: amounts of venom." The scientists then began a painstaking process of separating. or fractionating.Jberawvenomintoits 100150 different romponents and test ing them to identify the most active component This turned out to be a 35-amino-acid peptide the research erslabeled GsMTx-4. N<xt, to rule out the possibility of a hidden contaminant in thefinal fraction,Suchyna was able to induce a strain of bacteria to express the pure peptide. The recombinant pep- t i d e blocked the channels as well as the peptide that came directly from the spider, their research showed.

Luc E. Gosselin, asSistant professor in the Department of Physicallberapy,Exercise and Nutrition Sciences in the School of Health Re~ lated Professions who authored the study, said the results have important implications for aging hu man populations. "The amount of money spent on maintaining the elderly in nursing homes is enormous.. and many eld - erly end up there because of frailty. We can postpone frailty by getting seniors involved in exercise programs," Gosselin said. "Seniors have two problems to contend witk They are more suscepnble to muscle injury during exercise. and once injured, they need moretime to repair. H~r. if seniors stay active, they are less susceptible to injury than if they are sedentary." Gosselin's study, using rats as an animal model . concentrated on the soleus, a small inusde beneaththe calf. His purpose was two -fold : to · detennine to what extent endurance training improves fun c tion, and whether young and old rats training at a comparable, rela · tive exercise inten sity would derive similar protection from injury. "Aging affects muscles used for locomotion in a number of ways," Gosselin stated. "These include re· duced work capacity,loss of muscle mass, increase in connective tissue In this current study, men with an eventl!aldiagnosisoftesticularcancer were found to be two-thirds less likely to have ever fathered a liv< infant. and to be nine times more likely to have been diagnosed as infer- tile than healthy men. . Julie Baker, a doctoral student in the Department of Social and Preven· tive Medicine and lead author on both studies, said the new results <dlect a larger number of cases from a state-wide, rather than regional, database. The pr<Vious study was done at Roswell Park Cancer lhstitute (RPO). a regional cancer center that treats some of the area's sickest patients and may not rtpresent the experiences of men with less-aggressive cancers or men in the general population, she said. The current study involved cancer cases identified through the New York State Cancer Registry. It also used healthy men as controls. while the previous study used men who had otha: types of non-hormonal cancers. "'VV.'e had no reasoJl to believe that fertility would be affected in men with non -hormonal cancers," Baker said, "and we didn't see a difference between the two groups of men. There is alw.tys the possibility that both groups of men an: impaired in the same way. probably either because of the pathology of their diseases or something about men that end up being treated at RPCJ. However, we don't know enough about how fertility relates to subsequent cancer to be able to explain why the groups were so similar.

Chubby kids risk heart disease UB reseudlers have det"""lned that children with a high body mil» index (BM I), a measure of obesity, are likely to have high levels of triglyc· <rides and low levels of protective cholesterol in childhood, dyslipidemia conditions that contribute to heart disease in adulthood. The st udy ruled out low birth weigh t-also thought to be associated with an increased ri sk of heart disease in adulthood-as a risk factor for dyslipidemia in children. "We think that one's lipid proftle in adulthood ltlay be directly re· Ia ted to the profile in childhood," said Iian Liu, a doctoral st udent in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine and lead author on the study. 'There may be some genetic factors that influence lipid proftles. but most of the influ ence comes from lifestyle factors. "This study shows it is more important to look ar body mass index than birth weight when assessing the potential for dyslipidemia in children."

"The mini-medical school fits our guidelines for benefiting the community as weU as the university; said Esther Davis. " It has a very good format, builds on the strengths of the university and extends t.hat knowledge to the community." "The university is the greatest thing that has happened to our area." said Don Davis. "We wanted to do something that would benefit the entire community.• President William R.

"Their dedication to the university's community~cduca­ tion programming over the years is reflected in their support of our Distinguished Speakers Series, WBFO and now, the mini-medical school. "This latest gift will enable UB's mini -medical school to ~ducate thousands of additional Western New York residents during the next I 0 years," he added. "We arc most grateful to them for their extraordinary generosity." The Esther and Don Davis Fund will sponsor US's mini -medical schooH program that already has enjoyed much success with more than 2.000 ..graduates" since its launch by the medical school in 1997-for the next 10 years. The mini-medical school-one of 66 such p~ nationwide--<>tfers about six programs a year. Each program is a series of lectures dealing with subjects traditionally CD'm'ed in medical school but geared to a general audicncr and based on the concept of helping people understand the scicnoe.~ the medicine. Harry Suitt, dean emeritus of the School of Health Rdated ProfessionS. professor emeritus of social and preventive medicine and director of the mini-medical school, is grateful for the donation . "The Davises are wonderful people whose ethical prcupts and integrity led to their business succtSS and now lead to this gift for community education," Sultz said. "This gift will give us greater visibility in the community, while cosuring that the mini-medical school remains a public service with no 6~ nancial barriers for anyone wishing to attend." While aD faculty lecturers donate their services, there arc general administratiw: costs for devdoping the materials, publicizing the programs and registering participants.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Triggle smd at the May 3 meeting of the Facu lty Senate Executive Commitu.oe. Speaking to FSEC members and members of the CAS Policy Committee. Triggle acknowledged that the merger two years ago o f th e fo rmer faculties of Arts and Letters, Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

Dean Kerry Grant has limited hiring in the college into the 200 1 academic yea r. In retrospect, prior to the m erger of the three faculties, audits should have l]een cond ucted of the three separat e faculttes. the thrl'C scparatc fina nc.:tal systems should h.JVl' been merged and a CFO recruited.

We feel as if we've reached a tipping point beyond which it will be very difficult to recover.• Thornton; CAS PolicyComminee Chair James Bunn, professor of En· glish, and Lewis Coburn, professor of mathematics and chair of the CAS Budget Committee, asked for the FSEC's assistancr in monitoring what Bu.nn called the college's"pf<!gr<SS or regress" in the coming year. Bu.nn distributed copies of the college's bylaws and two resolutions that were approved overwhelmingly by CAS faculty members last month. Thornton pointed out that the resolutions focus on the "particular policies ... the particular issues that we feel are leading to a decline--and a rapid decline-in the college.• One resolution asked that the UB and CAS administrations: • Lift the CAS hiring freeu by the end of this academic year • Increase all stipends for teach· ing and graduate assistants in the college to nationally competitive levels by next year • Remove immediately the automatic requirement that all CAS un dergraduate courses enroll at least IS students • Provide the CAS Budget Com· mittee with such information as the number of faculty members at the time of merger, present losses ·and locations of part-time instructors The second resolution states that the administrations' plans to cope with the CAS budget crisis were adopted without significant faculty participation, and th=fore, do not have the confidence and support of the faculty. Charles Smith, associate professor of mwic, noted that, contrary to the way the situation w:as portrayed in the media, he did not consider the vote on the resolutions by the CAS faculty to be vote of no ronfidcnce in President Wrlliam R Greiner. "This wasvaymuchanissueofsomemmplaints about the way the College of Arts and Sciences was being run; he -\ said, adding that he rtgrets that the no-confidence issue has served as a kind of "smoktscrecn that has obscured what the real concerris are." Nirolas Goodman, vice provost for undergraduate education, took exception to the sentence in the preamble to the resolutions that maintains that the caliber of UB undergraduates has declined ""There are no data that will sup· port that claim and making that claim publicly does considerable damage to the university and to our fut:we. ...l really challenge you. to find data to 5\lpport these claims." Thornton disputed that conten· lion, noting that she has had qumer· ous convt:rsations with colleagues about thededininaqualityofstudents over the past few years. "'ur data are our dassroom experience." she said. Charles Pou.rtner, professor of biological sciences, emphasiud that the problem in CAS is not strictly a budgetary problem, citing the poor communication between the de- partments and the Dean's Office, as well as between offices within the Dean's Office. Greiner noted that while it origi· nally had been thought that the rna· jor problem associated with the merger would be the "dash of dif. ferent faculty cultures," the roajor is5\les instad have come fiom the dif. ferent"administra!M:cultu.resofthe three faculties that ru;.., come home to roost." Once a new management system is es~blished for the college this summer,...then we ought to be looking forwanl, and doing it in a way where everybody gets to..., the data that describes the cellege, the quantitative data. ...lt's a good place to start the conversation; he said The president added that th= should be an open organizationai scheme in which budget informa· tion and departmental rosters are available to all "Then; be said, "we dispel the kind of cloud that comes fiom lack of information." �May 11.2tiDUNol. 31.1o.31 Scholarships set precedent Anonymous donor continues funding ofhonors scholars ay su~ CHAMBUlAJN RtpOrter Contributor T HE Distinguished Honors Scholars Program will graduate its largest group of honors scholars23-this month, thanks to an anonymous donor whose scholar- ship gifts are setting a precedent. The anof:lymous donor, whose latest cash gift of$800,000 brings the total the donor bas given over the past six years to $5.6 million, is pleased that UB alumni and friends are joining in the effon. " I continue to be happy with the quality of students named as Distinguished Honors Scholars. and am especially pleased that Millonzi Distinguished Honors Scholarship for the Creative and Performing Arts, now in its second year. Two additional donors are looking to the future of Western New York and are 6na1izing details that will specify their support for Buffalo-area honors students who are committed to staying in this region. "We are immensely grateful to the anonymous donor for initial and continued gifts and the additional support those gifts arc engendering because this program has done phenomertal things for the students," said Josephine A. Capuana, administrative director for th e other generous individuals recognize the val ue of su pporting these top students and have begun to make ad- guished Honors Scholars Program."

Lee to receive Newmark Medal By El.UN GOlDBAUM News SerVices Editor HE American Society of Civil Engineers has chose n George C. Lee, Samuel P. Capen Professor of Engineering and director of the Multidisciplinary Ce nter fW" Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) at UB,toreceivetheprestigious Nathan M. Newmark Medal for 2000. Lee will receive the award later this month at the 14th Engineering Mechanics Conferene< being held in Austin, Texas. The national medal, sponsored by the ASCE's Engineering Mechanics Division and its Structural Engineering Institute, is given to an ASCE member who, through contributions in structural mechanics, has helped · substantially to strengthen the scientific base of structural enginearing. Lee is cited for his achievements in both resqrch, where be has made major contributions to the study and practice of making steel buildings safer during earthquakes, and education, where he was an early player in the move to build a program in earthquake engineering at UB, now one of the nation's most acclaimed. In research, Lee is honored "for his work on plastic analysis of structures and his research and leadership in aseismic design of structural and T mechanical systems." Among the original contributions ASCE cites are those to the field of steel structures, including stability and design of thin -wall str uctural memb'ers; inelastic behavior of structural steel · under cyclic and nonproportional dynamic loading; a two-surface plasticity modeli post -buckling strength; low cycle futigue and darnage accumulation of thin-walled steel structural mernbe" under dynamic and earthquake loading con· ditions, and form ulation of principles and guidelines for the seismic retrofit of steel buildings with a<)ded passive and semi-active vibrationreduction technologies. Lee also is recognized for the development of a state-of-the-art, semi-active, vibration- reduction system-<onceived from human body-motion control behavior-resulting in an invention developed with coUeagues Z. Liang and M. Tong that was lie<nsed by Enidine,lnc. The citation credits Lee with being a prime mover in the drive to establish earthq uake-engineering education and research programs at UB, beginning in the 1970s. "Convinced of the need of civil engineers in the eastern U.S. to be knowledgeable in earthquake engi- neering, he overcame many objections to pursue this development as department chair and, subsequently, as dean of engineering, until the ea rthquake-engineering resea rch laboratory with an ea rthqu ake ground-motion simulator was completed in 1981 by the Stale of New York." the dtation states. As a result. the programs that were developed at UB in earthquake engineering "enabled UB to become the first NSF-sponsored national center of earthquake engineering research, which (Lee) presently serves as the center director." A member of the UB fuculty since 1961, Lee served as dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences from 1977-95. In addition to fostering research and educational advancements in engineering, Lee has been active in condu cting outreach programs fo r students and the business community. He directed the university's Greater Regional Industrial Technology program. designed to help area businesses develop new products. He also founded the Engineering Career Institute. a s~mmer program designed to supplement the technical education of UB engineering st uden ts. He launched the Buffalo Engineering Awareness for Minoritit·s. a major effort to encourage minority students to pursue careers in engineering. \ RepaiL"tez 3 Dental faculty to test mouthwash that aims to deter smoking Smo ken who w ant to q uit but rfaJiy enjoy the taste of a cigaretu.· may soon have a new weapon at their disposal. And if it works, it would be as easy to use as mouthwash. In fact , it is mouthwash. Facult y members from the School o f Dental Medicine soon will begin a pilot study of a mouth rinse that claims t~ make smoking taste terrible. · Sebastian Ciancio, professor and chai r of the Department of Peridontology who has conducted hundred s of product trials and will head this one, said he has seen the product's formula and it looks promising on several fronts. " It could discourage people from smoking," Ciancio said, "b ut is also seems to have the poten tial to decrease plaque and gingiv itis. h also ma y reduce tartar." Ciancio will begin a small pilot study involvi ng 20 smokers within the next two months to test the product 's safety. If it proves to be safe. he will co nduct a larger stu dy to determint' its effectiveness as a smoking deterrent and as a preventive for plaque and gum disease. The new mouth rinse is a prod uct of the same creative m ind that de veloped the first Xe rox copy paper. C iancio said. The produd 's data sheer descr ibes· it as a breath -freshening. germ -killing liquid that works like any normal mouthwash with one notable exceptio n: For 5-8 hou rs after using it, "the taste of ciga rette smoke is distorted to the point where th e perso n will not smoke past the first puff." The mouth rinse doesn't affect the taste o f anything but tobacco smoke, the inventor asserts, which makes it a useful long-term de terrent should former smokers be tempted to relapse. The inventor also notes that his product doesn' t involve nicotine or any other drug. "This is especially important for persons who are pregnanr or wh o have undergone heart bypass surgery and can't use any of the currently approved smoking deterrents to help them quit," the inventor notes. In the never-ending sea rch for better dental products, companies also have co ntracted with the Department of Periodontology to test a new kind of dental floss, which initially will involve a small pilot study, and to condu ct larger studies of two new toothpaste formulations. Persons interested in volunteering for the smoking-det~rrent mouth -rinse study o r any of the o thers may call th e dental school at 829-3850.

Triggle referred to UB's .. ex · tremely ambitious" goal of doubling its research support over the n at five years. ' "Fortunately, this i.s a felicito us time to be ramping up our efforts," said Triggle, pointing to a spate of anno uncements about increased research funding fro m traditionaJ sources, including an expected dou bling of funding from the National Institutes of Health over the next few years. as weU as increased funds from Computational R<search,"theoverall bottom line is that our sponsored-program volume is not going up and that of our competitors is. We are losing this race at a time of comparatively generous availabitity of research funding." UB's sponsored program expenditures totaled $80.5 million in 1999-2000, a slight decline from the $81.6 million in 1994-95. Triggk proposed creating immediatdy an int<mal venture-capital fund of at least $1 millioD-which should be increased quickly to $5 million-in addition to the seed funding programs already in place. The purpose of such a fund, he said, would be to launch new initiatives in the areas the university has defined in its Mission Review Statement • Molecular and biomedical sci· ences • Computer~ience and information technologies including bioinformatics and media • Materials science • Environment and infrastruc- cine and Biomedjcal Sciences and ture In addition, "the cheapest thing we can do is to keep good people here," Hay said, noting that UB has been criticized for not making vigorous efforts to main faculty.

The provost cited the efforts of the offices of State and Federal Relations as being extremely effm.ive in working with governmental bodies.

The memo noted that, despite some very real successes, such as the Howard Hughes grant to the School ofMedi· Advisory Committee has been es - tablished, chaired by Hay. Hay also noted that UB has been having increasing success in attract ing key researchers from other topranked institutions. Hay added that UB must make greater use of its developm ent office in seeking new opportu nities. He pointed to three recent successes generated in conjunct ion with that office: S I million from the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust for research on infectious diseases, $1 million from the Keck Foundation to conduct research on cell protein studi es implica ted in diseases, and S4 million from the Howard Hughes Foundation toes· tablish a Center for Single-Mol ecule Biophysics and a Center for Geno mi cs and Proteomics. The push for boosting research support also has prompted what Holm called ...a strategic change m faculty demographics." He explained that "productivity profiles" had been completed of all medieal-school faculty members. Holm estimated that if75 new fac· ulty hires were added in place of those current faculty members who were contributing neither to the institution's teaching or research missions, and each of the 75 gener· ated a "reaso nabl e average" of $275,000 in research funds, the medicaJ school's level of support would be boosted by $20 million.

"and the modem category of'literature' came into being to refer to a special canon of work comidered par· ticularly valuable or imaginative.

'Clinical-research advances during the past decade changed that. UB neuroswgeons and others now can """"stroke patients from certain disability using new dot-busting drugs and new drug delivery methods. They speak of stroke as a "brain attack." If patients know the symptoms and get to the hospital soon enough, they can avoid the ofi.en-dehilitating damage an untreated stroke can cause. The problem ha. been getting that message to the public. In May 1997-May has been designated "stroke mon th" -Lee Guterman, UB associate professor of neurosurgery, and his departmental roUeagues decided to begin a project to help educate the public about stroke's symptoms and risk factors. The project had particular resonancr in Buff.alo and environs, where stroke risk is higher than the nationalav<l'age. The result Wll!l the Western New York Stroke Screening Program. "The purpose of the screening program, despite its name, was not so much to identify people at risk, which we do, but to get the word out about tlie signs and symptoms of stroke," Guterman said ..The main message we want to get across to people is that stroke is a treatable disease.lf they recognize the symptoms and get help quickly, there is a good chance to reverse the stroke." The first screening was held in a booth in the Boulevard Mall A team of physicians. nu=s, dietitians, ultrasound operators and support staff took heart-rate anQ blood-pressure readings and adminis tered sonograms of the carotid artery to find out if there was any blockage. They offered the National Stroke Association's risk fad or assessment. provided nutrition counseling and presented a video on stroke's warn- ing signs. The final step wa> a brief evaluation of all data by a neurosurgeon or neurologisL All services wen: provided free of charge. People stood in line for hours waiting to be screened: Still. more than 200 had to be turned away. The team s=med 1,000 people over lime days at a second mall evmt but tbe process was chaotic. Members decided to target senior-citizen centers. Over the foUowing two years. they held event,s at eight centers and one corporatio n. To date, they have screened 3.200 people. Letters have been sent to physicians of those found to be at high risk of stroke. Thirty percent of participants had "reportable" disease. Incidence of stroke is high in the Westan New York population at large for several reasons, including a long history ofsmoking, unhealthy eating habits and obesity. he said The project began as a solely volunteer effort, but has since received monetary support from Independent Health, Kaliecla Health and the Women's Board at Millard Fillmore . Hospital Acuson Corporation and Hewletl Padwd bave donated the ultrasound equipment. The group now is producing an educational video and also is planning to bring the screening program into load compa.nies-they already have ""rked with the Buffialo Police Department and Ainep Corporation-<md to enroU people 'at high risk in education claMes on-site to encourage changes in lifestyles that promote stroke. Their database of liCI'eened patients also will provide rich potential for research, Guterman said Tbe group presented the results of its first study based on data from those screened at a recent professional meeting. The s~showed that ul- trasound scr<ening of the carotid artery is a reliable and cost-effect way to identify people with a condition called a.ymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, a significant stroke riskf.Jctor. That study was headed by Adnan I. Qureshi, clinical instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery. �May 1UIIOO/Vol.31. h.31 Patrons thanked for donating to ·tree-planting fund To the Editor, au.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

No surprise here. For those whose peculiar avocation it is to smack units of meaning around like croquet balls, Bernstein is patron saint and leader of the band. Bernstein is dangerous, culturally speaking. because he challenges some of our most basic and deeply held assumptions, the ones that hold together the massive assumptions most of us hold about what is good, what we really value and the roots of that knowing. He is a subversive who "always manages to find the furthest reaches of any norms of'good taste,' creating a poetics that reveals the social codes hirung behind all the poetry's tropes and forms... writes an admiring critic, citing the famous 1990 Bernstein collection whose title is one of the most engagingly sardonic in postmodemity: "The Absent Fa· ther in 'Dwribo:" Lately, however, it is Bernstein's "Republics of Reality: 1975-199S"\ that is attracting critical attention. -_....of the....._-"" America, his lingo 20th· century American.

Calling it a "useful tool that provides a continuum of care and a continuum of intervention for atrisk students," Syms said the program is intended to hdp students wlio have difficulties with their relationships with peer.; and adults. "This is (or kids who have behavior-management problems. or who we see st3rting to devdop them, students who are insubordinate to instructors, are defiant, who are threatening or buUying their peers and who have such a small repertoire of responses that physical means are the only way they know how to deal with peer conflict," he said. The Extended School Day/School Violence Prevention Program will be held in Lincoln Academy-School 44, Kensington High School and Buffalo Alternative High School, and is open to aU students in the Buf- falo School District. Schools will identify and recommend students teachers and administrators believe could benefit from the program; participation will bi' voluntary. The program will be offered in conjunction with partner agencies that include the Buffalo Schools. the Boys and Girls Club of Buffulo and Erie County, the Bob l.anier Center and Project Respect. .,set to begin on Monday, the program will be held from 3:30-6:30 p.m. weekdays thmugh the end of the school year, and is expected to enroll up to60students. The program has two components: Students in grades 5 and 6 at Lincoln and high -school students at Kensington who are identified as "at ri.slt' for suspension will receive primary and secondary prevention int~tion. The Buffalo Alternative site will work with students who already have been suspended for violence or violence-related violations of the Buffalo Public School's Student Code of Conduct. Intervention will focus on aca dcmicand social skills. Students will rece:ive either individual tutoring or instruction in the four co re academic requirements-reading. math, science and history-and an ho ur of group counseling focusing on violence preventio n, mentoring, social skills, anger management , peer-support-group development , character and leadership development, educational and career development, and health and life skills. The program also wiU offer activities to connect the student to community resources that wiU provide a continuity of care for the student and family after a return to school lnstruction and counselin~ will be provided by Buffalo Board of Education teachers and social workers and/or in collaboration with one of the partner agencies. Although student violen ce in school involves a smaU number of students. Syms said, it is on the in crease, as are student suspensions. Between September 1997 a nd }anuaty 2000, the Buffalo School District r<eonled204 incidents ofviolena and assault by students in all grade levels against teachers. administrator.; and other adults in the schools. During the same time period, I J29 formal suspensions occurred ln particular, suspensions are up among students in grades 7-9, where 8.9 percent of that age gmup has been suspended for serious offenses. such as fighting, physical coin act with school personnd, threatening school personnel or possession or use of a knife or weapon. The Extended School Day/School Violence Prevention Program provides students with a break from problems that provoked their suspension, as well as instruction in other methods of dealing with their frustrations, Syms said. It also provides a more appealing way of keeping up with their school work. Currently. suspended students receive two hours of in -home in struction daily. which can add to feelings of isolation. The program allows students to continue to have contact with other st udents and teach ers ... It just makes ~ore sense," Syms said.

Traditionally, diastoUc blood pressure, the second or lower number, was thought to be more imponanL Joseph 1zzo, UB professor of medicine and pharmacology, and vice d1air of research for the Department of Meilicine, is the primary author of the advisory, which appears in the May issue of Hypertension. The document was developed by the coordinating comminee of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program, which is part of the Na tional Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Making systolic blood pressure the major criterion for diagnosis, staging and therapeutic manage- S ment of hypertension, particularly in middle-aged and o lder Ameri - cans, represents "a major paradigm shift,"the advisory states.'It also calls fo r more 'rigorous control efforts and for abolishing the u5e~oof ageadjusted blood -pressure targets. " Thi ~ shift a ffec ts 25 milli o n people in th e United States whose live s can be improv~d by th(' change," Jzzo said. Specifically, th(' new r(.'C()mmcndations are: • Systolic blood pressure should become the prindpal clinicaJ end point for detection, t"Valuation and treatment ofhypertcnsion,especially in middle-aged and older Americans. • Blood pressure should be maintained below 140/90 mmHg throughout one's lifetime; above this level, early therapy is essential to prot<ct against organ damage. • More stringent blood-pressure control is necessary in persons with high-risk conditions: hypertensive patients with diabetes should keep their blood below 135/85 mmHg and persons with renal or heart fail ure should reduce their bl<J!XI pressure to the lowest level possible. kidney failure. It is dear that lowering systolic pressuu is associated with better outcomes in cardiovascular and renal disease. ..Systolic hypertension interacts with other ·major risk factors, such as high cholesterol and diabetes, which also incr('ase with age. to ampUfy the age-related risk of car· diovascular events."' Isolated systolic hypertension is the most common form of hyper· t~nsion and is present in about twothirds of people over the age of 60 with diagnosed high blood pressure, he said. Isolated systolic hypertension is defined as systolic pressure at or above 140 mm/Hg and diastoUc under 90 mm/Hg. Treating isolated systoUc hypertension reduces the incidence of stroU, heart attack, heart failure and kidney failure, as well as reducing overall b rdiovascular disea.R-re· • Age-adjusted blood-pressure targets are inappropriate, including the unsubstantiated but persistent clinical folklore that " 100-+-yourage" is an acceptable systolic bloodpressure level SystoUc blood pressure represents the maximum force exerted by the heart against the blood vessels during the heart's pumping phase. Diastolic pres.~ ure is the resting pressure during th e..· heart's relaxation phase. The defining systolic number is 140: A higher measurement indi cates a need for blood-pressu re re· duction through drugs o r lifesty le change. lzzo said much evidence points to systolic pressure as the critical factor in determining the risk of hea rt disease. "For example. systolic hypen·ension is the most prevalen t risk fa ctor in heart failure, stroke and_ lated sickness and death. Using diastoUc blood pressure to define hypertensio n in persons middle-aged and older actually misrepresents the risk of poten!ial heart problems, lzzo said. ·s~toUc blood pressure increases steadily with age in industrialized Western societies, whereas diastolic blood pressure in ~ creases until abou t age 55 and th en declines.

Five faculty receive Milton Plesur award Award presented by SA recognizes teaching excellence, honors late UB scholar By MARA McCINNIS Reporter Assistant Editor lYE UB faculty members have received 2000 Millon Plesur Ex~ellence in Teaching Awards from the Stu- F dent Association recognizing their teaching excellence and commit ment to students. The former Student Association Excellence in Teaching Awards were renamed to honor Plesur, a nationally regarded author and scholar of popular culture and the American presidency, who died in 1987. Plesur was so highly regarded that in 1984 a group.of his fonner students established a scholarship fund in his name. Recipients of the Plesur award are student-nominated and selected.

You have to ' interbe:• These sentiments, taken from her poem "lntcrbeing," reflected the tone of Walker's conversation with the audience as she wove together the narrative of her own childhood memories, the histories of AfricanAmericans living in a racist South and stories of ber own struggles. largely through poetry, in an effort to emphasize harmony with nature and with each other. The final speaker of the Distinguished Speakers Series for 19992000,Walker talked of hearing Martin Luther King , Jr.'s " I Have A Dream" speech during the "March on :Washington" in 1964-when she w3.s in her late teens-and his request for those individuals from the South to return home. "He said, 'Go hack to Georgia, go hack to Mississippi;" she said. "And I had not thought I would go hack to the South. And he said go back. and so I went back." A When Walker re turned. she Joined the Friends of the Children of Mississippi, an organization dedi· cated to teaching children. The lack of history books available to the children was staggering, and so she set out to acquire a history through the written autobiographies of people living in the South. She recounted several histories given to her to share with children: one man talked at length of repeat· edly witnessing the savage killings of African-Americans by law enforce· mcnt officers; one woman spoke of how her home was bombed severaJ times by the Ku Klux Klan; another man questioned"how he feels abou t the country his son wiU have to grow upm.

"When you live in a society th at crushes you, and a society that is ignorant of the fact that it is crushing itself, what do you do? How do you live?" she asked. Her response again came in the form of a poem she wrote~ "'Expect Nothing, Live Frugally on Surprise," through which she told the audience to "Stop short of the urge to bleed," "Tame wild disapand ... lndia .. .l want you to think pointment" and "Discovu the reason about all of those things." she said. why so tiny human giant. .. exists at ..

Schack, professor of· mathematics, exp ressed co ncern about the "remarkable oontrast"hetween the sit uation in athletics, which he defined as a "secondary mission a( best" of the university, and the state of the College of Arts and Sciences, a un!t he described as serving the "primary interests of the university" and one that has been "severely degraded." President Wt.lliam. R. Greiner explained that the debt situation in athletics differs tremendoUsly from the deficit in CAS because the CAS debt is an accumulated and a cumulative one, whereas the deficit in athletics was a single, one-time debt. The report also notes that SOOstudents participate directly in the university's athletic programs. 190 of whom are on scholarships supported by non-state funds. generating about Repoater S2.S million in tuition "give-back." Cerny reported that "a bigger issue than the (athletics) budget" is gender equity. In fiscal year 1998-99, men's sports accounted for 47 percent of the total budget, while women's sports accounted for 22 percent. A three-year plan calls for a 9 percent increase in the number of men's scholarships and a 50 percen t increase in the number of women's scholarships. According to the report. the DOA reduced its budget at the beginning of the 1999-2000 academic year, as did the rest of the university. How· ever, the cut was somewhat balanced by a state legislative initiative that allocated $800,000 to public insti· tutions competing at the Division IA level to help attain gender equity. In other business. the senate passed a resolution outlining policies for oOstruction or disruption by students in the classroom, behavioral expe<:tations-to be published as part of the student rules and regulations-and strategies for instructors for deal· ing with distractions in the classroom. The sena te also considered rec ommendations on assessments of instructional effectiveness prepared by the Teaching and Learning Committee. One recommendation-to establish a substantial developmen t cffon for faculty members to ex pand and improve their instruction-prompted some to suggest reestablishing the Office of Teaching Effectiveness, which helped faculry members improve their teaching skills. But committee members said they thought the same goals could be reached by coordinating with the Ed ucational Technology Center, rather than creating a new entity.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Titled "Past Failures and Future Opportunities: The Need for UB to Adequately Plan for its Sustainable Transportltion Need," the report calls for the university to .. m:ogniz.e its legal and moral responsibilities to ensure that current and future transportation needs and options are fully explored. Failu.-. to do so will mean that the university will continue to suffer the consequences of an inefficien t and envi ronmen tall y un friendly transportltion policy which diminishes the attractiven6S and quality of life on the campus for students, faculty, staff and visitor>." The report was prepared at the request of the Environmental Task Force by the Environment and Development Oinic in the Law School. Among its recommendations. the report calls for UB to take a leadership role in a proposal that would extend Metro Rail serviC. from the South Campus station to the North Campus, to integrate a sustainable transportation plan into the Landscape Master Plan and to take gr<ater advantage of funding available from th< federal government fortransportation planning and implementation. The report, compiled by Robert Berger, professor oflaw, and law students Jason Stanek and Matthew Yusick, looks at commuter travel to and from the campuses, as well as travel betwem the North aod South campuses and travel within the North Campus. Calling the original, 1960s proposal for the North Campus "grand." the report de$cribes an alrn ost Disney-like univ=ity of the future: a campus of 45,000 students with shoppingcent.en; residences for faculty and administraton, as well as students; a monorail system of transport between the Ellicott Complex and the academic spine, and twostory underground parking Jots that would prevent the campus"from appearing liU a sea of can." ~Ultimately," th< report not£5, "th< monorail and othtr transportation plans were quietly forgonen as shrinking funds were redirtcted to other .oonstruction projects." a reality that began to emerge even befo.-. the North Campus' groundbreaking in 1968. The report also draws on th< 1995 UB Environmental Audit, which called UB "a monument to the wasteful, polluting and inconvenient institution of private-vehicle rommuting" whose drivers "'-demand even more parking lots, which spread out further and ~er, increasing storm wat<r runo and decreasing greenspace.... (S) tudents, faculty and staff are atomized and diffused, leaving little sense of meaningful community." Among th< problems facing US's transportation needs, acrording to the report, is the lack of a single person or department with the authority to pull together a transportation policy. Noting that the Office of Campus Parking and Transponation recently was organiud under the supervision of the chief of Uni-versity Police., it notes that the office lacks the resources to become the central planning office for sustainable transportation policies. Butmo.-.criticajjsth<unimsily's failur<toobtain input from the campus community on transportation neesls.-"Decisions on vital transportation-r&tedissuesusuallyaremade with little or no iBput from or explanation to the larger univmity community," an omission that not only shows "poor planning" and "ineffeclive environmentalstewardship,"but one that might be against state Jaw as well, the report nota. _ Qthc;rtransportab<'n problems are related directly to the nature of the institution, particularly th< number of students who live off campus. "Futur< planning should recognile that students will continue to drive themselves to campus if the university provides no reasonable alternatives," ti1e report states. One of those alternatives is public transportation, a little-used option because service to th< North Campus is limited, with only one bus routt to campus operating on a weekdayonly sdled~ The public-transportation problem is compounded by th< duplicatA! service offered by Blue Bird buses between the campuses. At a cost to students of $13 million for the 1999-2000 academic year, Blue Biid buses are criticized as providing "inadequa~ and unpredictable" servia: using buses that are 20 years old, and neither fuelefficient nor economically friendly. "We question why t!>e univmity continues to renewth.is million-dolJar contract ~thtr than aplore alternatives," the report statu. '"The S13 mlllion in student fees that is paid aonuallyon this contract might be used toward the purchas<: and operation of ~. fud~tand reduced-emission alternative-fuel buses or could be used to bdp cov.r the operating costs of a light-rail extmsion between the campuses." The report also encourages the univenity to take another look at extending the Metro Rail to the North ea.$us. ~UB is in a position to make a dif. ferena.. The university must recogJl.i!,e the enormous benefits as5!>Ciated with linking the isolated North Campus with the rest of the city. It is easy to envision thedaywben students and resideots could travel quickly downtown ... and campus commu ters and visitors Wo uld worry less about finding a parking space." It's also posSible that a direct link betwem campuses rould serve as a substitute for some or all of the Blue Bird bus transportation, acrording to the report. Transportation on the campus~self also could use- improvement, says the report. Although th< new apartment-sty!< housing being built is =dtingin less commut<r traffic, it points to a growiog need for •an environmentally friendly and ener-gy-efficient intracampus transportation system.• Student input on traruportation issues is vital, especially since '"'the transportation component of the comprehensive fee. which is charged to students in addition to tuition~ provides the funds to support the surfacing of new parking lots, the campus shuttle service and the Blue Bird buses." The North Campus shuttle scrvice needs to be r<-examined with respect to the "aging Beet of vans" that ru;., a continuous loop around campus and to th< various housing complexes, including Flickinger Court. The contract with' Blue Bird that provides buses fueled by rompressed natural gas (CNG) to shuttle betwem the Ellirott Complex and the Student Unioo also should be...,.. examined in light of the 33 percent premium UB pays forth< low-emission buses compared to cooven- tiona! diesel buses, especially since CNG costs less that gasoline. The low shuttle ridership volume also is ao issue, and the report recommmds the university increase ridership by restricting the parking privileges of students living on campus to disrourage them from taking their cars from their campus housing to class. The univenity also needs to take.stq>s10 encourage pedestrian and bicy<:k traJil<. Calling ·a n energy-dlicient campus transportation system "the pro~Nenonnat~~r~ti~ around the country," the report says UB must step up its efforts to obtain funding on both the state and federal levels. The report also enrourages UB to incorporate its transportation efforts into tlie Campus Landscape Master Plan to form a plan "encompassing an-entirdrameworl< for the long-tmn development of th< campus," including the circulation of pedestrian and ~ehicular traffic around the campuses: ,.

Called the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation ( UDSMR), this mother lode of information came to reside in this place A because of a whimsical -sounding item called the .. FJ_MTMinstrument." However, there is nothing whimsi- cal about its purpose. The FJM,or Functionallndependcn~c Measure, instrument is an assessment method developed at UB to quantify the ability of patients to care for themM"Ives when they enter rehabilitation treatment and to chart the1r progress (or lack of it) until di~harge into the communit y o r to anoth er facility. Fifteen years after facuJty members tn the UB Department of Rehabilt tat:.ion Medicine created the FIM in sli'Ument, they are now involved with the federal -Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA ) in developing an instnuncnt to be used by re habilitation hospitals and other rehabilitation uni ts as the basis for Medicare prospective payment. "HCFA has come to realize the importance of functional status as the common denominator among rehabilitationpatients.andhowimprovements in functional status as the result of rehabilitation intervention could serve as a measure of the success of that hospital stay." stated Carl Granger, M.D., professor and chair of the UB Department ofRehabilillltionMedicineandoneofthe developers of the FIM instrument The effort to devdop a standard formeasuringrd!abilillltion'seffecliveness was spurred by Median's m<>Yr in 1983 to use diaposis-~ latedgroupc(DRGo)asthebaisfor reimbuncmcnt fur acute-""" hospitaJs, Granp said Sincep•timtudmitted furr<habilitation.,.. treatednoc only by eliagnosis but allo by leYd of clisobility, the DRG reimbun<mmt sys1at1 wasnot~Lidtingastan- dard c:ompanble to the acute-are hospital, rthabilitation facilities have, until now, been reimbursed for cart based on an allowance per case discharged, regardless of the time and resources expended. Realiz.ing the need to get in step with the rest of the health-care industry,theAmeric:anCongressofRehabilimtion Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilimtion formed a national task force to preSs for development of a standard for documenting the level of disability and outcomes of mcdjcaJ rehabilitation. UB received a three-year grant in 1984 from the Nationallnstitute for Disability and Rehabilitation Resea rch to develop such a standard. Gra nger, along with By ro n Hamilto n, a lecturer in the lkpa.rt ment of Rehabilitat ion Medkin c, hroded the effort, and the UDSMR, the FIM instrument , and UDSMR's data -management service are the rc suit. Rehabilitation fuciJities began using the data service in 1987. The FIM instrument and UDS.'-tM was embraced by the industry with an enthusiasm that surprised even its creators. Granger said. More than 4 million patients 111 I ,400 facilities covering all 50 states and the District of Columbia have been assessed since its introduction. The Veterans Affilirs Medical System subscribes to the FIM instrument and UDSMR. The measurement in - strument also has been translated into five languages. and is used in A\!Stralia, Canada, Hong Kong, )apan, Finland and Swede:n.

UB maintains the database and has permission to use the dal3 for sci<ntific research. The FlM instrument is not the only tool avaiJable for assessing re habilitation treatment and ou t comes, but it provides the basis for a common language that has been aa:epted by rehabilitation clinicians around the world, said Richard Linn, associate director of UDSMR and assistant professor of rehabili tation medicine and psychiatry. A majority of acute rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilita tion units m the U.S. have adopted it, Linn said. because it is easy to usc and reliable. because a patient's score at discharg<· has been shown to be an accurJte indicator of how much care the pa tient will need upo n return to tht• home. "This allows us to te.Q the famil}' what their care needs will be for any type of impairmen t, which makes the FIM Systt'llls.M very prncticaJ," he said. Facilities feel that they can rel y upon the accuracy of the data due to the emphasis UDSMR places upon training and credentialing, he said, and also because of UDSMR's status a.!> a not -for-profit located on a uni V(.'rsity campus. In developing the payment sys- tem for rehabilitation, HCFA !cloked to the Minimum Data Set (MDS ), an instrumen t that was developed for payment of nursing-home services. The resulting instrument, the MDS-PostAruteCare (M DS-PAC), currently is under refinement, and may lndude clements of the FIM instrument. According to MedPAC, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, HCFA and the rehabilitation community have longslllndingclisagl'=nents over the extent to which various iterations of the MDS--PAC have incorporated the FIM instrument Granger said that the new instrument would bt oompet:ibk enough with the FIM instrument to allow oomporison ~new dal3 and "legacy"dalllaccumulatedk>rnearly two deades. •uos..., rogardl<ss of the'underlying instrumen~ will oontinueto serw the rd!abilillltion 6cld as a proYider of outaJmes and nationol bendunarks." bt stated.

Greiner endorses pesticide report prepared by ETF IN .,.EUIN~ N<wo Se!vk:os Editor response to the findings of a Pesticide Report prepared for him by the Environmental Task Force, a university-wide envi- ronmental group. President William R. Greiner has endorsed the group's recommendation that the university explore altemativts to chemical herbicides as part of an integrated pcsticide man3gement program. T h e president 's endorsement means that MECAMINE-D,a broadleaf herbicide used to kill dandeli ons along campus entranaways and near AJumni Arena last yea r for Commencement Weekend, will not be applied to campus lawns this year. "President Greiner has supported the spirit of the ETF request and he has met us more than halfway," said Mike Dupre. associate vice president for university facilities and 'ETF chair. Greiner's decisions were oommu - nicated to the ETF after a meeting he held last week with Dupre. ... In ~nee, we are returning to the practices that have been followed since 1991 when the use of broadleaf herbicides was suspended until their use again just prior to last year's commencement," Dupre stated in a memo to ETF members. The ETF report was prepared in response to G rein er,s challenge to the group last year that it provide him with both scientific informarion discussing the dangers and risks of pesticide use and data regarding "de mon strated res ults" on n on· chemical alternatives. Earlier this month, the ETF presented Greiner and SeniorV~ee Ptesident Robert ).Wagner with the report, which called fur immediate eliminalion of all broadleaf weed rontro~ establishmentofan in ~<grated pesticide management program and dev.lopment of an educational program on the environmental and public-health risks pooed by pesticide use. .. Based on the work that was done in the ETF, Mike's reoommendation wasthatwedolawncontrolclifferently than we have been doing and I said OK-let's see what "~ can do," said Greiner. "What we had here was a very symbolic and emotional issue and we have come to a very emotionally sat· isfying point. There's a good, solid intellectual foundation to this. We'U sec how it works.'' Written by Stacey Vaeth, a 2000 gradua te of UB's Envi ronmen tal Studies program and an ETF mem ber, the report discusses the docu men ted dangers of each of the pes- ticides currently used on campus. (The report is available at http:/I wlngs.buffalo.eclu/ ../ uben ) The repon recommends that the UB Grounds Departmen~ in oollaboration with the ETF. work to develop a comprehensive integrated campus pest management (IPM) program. The report includes sections on other universities that take an IPM approach to la\.,.n·care, such as the University of Rochester. which no t only docs not cut its dandelions. it celebrat.es them by having the d3n delion as the university flower. The report also mentions how UB's "green" efforts can p lay a key role in its environmental portfolio. cn.·a ting 3n attractive marketing opportun ity for the university. While broadleafherbicides.such as MEC AMINE-D. will not be applied to kiU ~ande l ions on lawns and entrancrways. Roundup. another herbidde, will continue to be used for the forseeab le future on cracks and around signposts on campus.. According to Greiner, athletiC playing fields also will continue 10 be treated with herbicides, because of concerns about potential injunei to athletes. But the ETF is explonng ahernatives for these areas as well. Dupre noted that such efforts will require additional staff resources, as weU as additional fund mg. To reduce the presence of da.ndch · ons during th e next two weeks. grounds staff will be doing additional. intense mowing during evenings and just prior to commencement actwt · ties. Ground< staff report that the use of overtime staffing and gasoline to do the additional mowing will cost approximately the same as what the pesticide applic uioru cost. �4 Rapall"'tatz Aprii27.2IDIIYIII.31.1o.29 Ta5k force recommend$ Blackboard Counelnfo for electronic coune management I<uoos and choir of the Ooplrtment of Trial run of CMS to begin in the fall Periodontics and Endodontics, By SUE WUlTCHUI ~a-», proltuor was honot-ed .-.cent!y by the U.S. Pharmacopeia for his more than 20 yean of contributions 10 the USP.

The FSEC and Dennis Black. vice president for student affairs, discussed the issue in February when faculty members said they were not sure how to deal with disruptive students since the university had no published rules or regulations· r!'garding classroom behavior. ln response to those concerns, the FSEC's Student Life Committee, chaired by Jeannette Ludwig. associalo professor of modem languages and literatures. drafted a set of policies on the course of action for deal ing wilh disruptive dassroom behav· ior and strategies for faculty to prevent and respond to such behavior. Ludwig told the FSEC that the committee believed a document that outlined class room "etiquette" expectations would help eliminate some of the low-level distractions such as students having unauthorized discussions, coming late, and leaving early during class . The document says that facult)' member.; should clarify class conduct standards by giving students a list of specific classroom-etiquette expectations that spell out what students should and should not do during class. "The committee hopes that these policies and strategies will be made~ of the university's rules Wd regulations so that _faculty members could be free to refer to them in a sytlabus or bring them to the fore at the beginning of the semester so that it is clear to everyone that certain behaviors are disruptive or distracting to others," said Ludwig. .. There is a growing sense that faculty need to be aware of what their rights are and have a body of regulations that would back them up." she added. The policy defines "classroom disruption" as behavior that a reasonable person would view as substantially o r repeatedly inteJfering with the conduct of a class. John Celock, a student member of the committee, said that the most annoying disruption for students in the classroom are the electronic devices: cell phones. pagers, and beeping watches. "(Students) wan I them turned off; he said. According to the document, when a student is disruptive, faculty members are to follow a specific oours< of action beginning with a warning. pref=bly in private. If tlte disrup!M behavior continues. the facultymember is authorized to ask the student tn leave the site, while lon!!er suspensions are subject to the Stulimt Conduct Regulations and due process pr<>acdings. If the student refuses to lea"" the area. he or she should be informed that his or her refusal is a separatnoolarion subject to additional penalties. according to the policy. If the behavior cn:ates a safety risk or makes it impossible to oontinue class. the instructor should oontact Public Safety to assist in removal of the student and/or dismiss class for that day. Some suggested strategies for faculty members to help minimize classroom disruptions listed in the policy: clarify sidcr giving general warnings rather than siogliDg out particular students, speak with disruptive students after class. speak to students about their behavior in a linn and friendly manna and direct a pemstently disruptive students to leave the classroom fur.the remainder of the period.' Louis Swartz, usociate professor of law, pointal out that such advicr may be problematic if a faculty member uses his or her own judgment and doesn't fuUow it exactly artakesadil!iireotapproach to dealing with disruption than the one stated in the policy. "I'm ooncemed that the (sugges· lions and advice) may be used against the faculty members who-for whatever reason--fail to follow them. These bits of sound advice shouldn't be interpreted as a set of rules that must be foUowed." Swartz said. Samuel Schack, professo r of mathematics, advised that the sug· gestions be prefaced by " It may be more effective to . .."

The Conceptual Effects Typing Methnd (CETM), an application of "conceptual effects," first was used by Delphonsc; in 1995 to teach typing to students in several Buffalo-area post-secondary schools. To do so, he employed a software package developed by Simon and Schuster Interactive, a division ofViaoom, lnc. The results oonvinced Simon and Schuster to work with Delphonse to prndua:andmark<ta 1998CD-ROM typing tutorial based on CETM that now is used in schools worldwide. Delphonse is about to market an advanced version of the tuto ri al through his own company, JoeBis {his middl~ name is Bismarc). h soon will b. on the market under a new name, to b. announced later this year. He also is negotiating with MIT and other institutions to expand his research in learning methodology. Delphonse says'that since the oonceptual effects learning m<fhnd already has proven ~0 be an extremely powerful instructional tool for children and adults who know nothing of the typing keyboard, he expects it to b. equally powerful in teaching mu sical instr umen tatio n, whi ch ca ll s for the same kind of neuro linguistic digital training.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Polyps unaffected by healthy diet By LOIS IIAKER News Services Editor DOPTING a diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetab les may have many hea lth benefits, but lowering the risk of developing recurrent colon polyps. precursors of colon cancer, does not appear to be one of them. Investigators from UB and the seven other centers involved in the five-year national Polyp Prevention Trial report in today's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine that there was no difference in the recurrence of polyps between the A diet intervention group and acon- trol group that didn't change diets. The stud y was spo nsored by the National Cancer Institute. Peter Lance, associate professor of medicine and physiology, and principal investigator on UB's portion of the trial, said he was disappointed but not altogether surprised by the negative results. "The study is consistent with the findings of previous smaller trials and of another large trial (Wheat Bran Fiber Study) published in the same issue. Clearly, dietary change does not ntake you less likely to develop new polyps after you'V< had all existing polyps removed. "What the study does not address," he noted, "and was not designed to address, is what the environment of the colon should be to reduce the likelihood thai small, innocent pol· yps will grow to become cancers." Fifty percent or more of people over the age of 55 will develop at least one polyp of the colon during their lifetime, but only a very small number of these {"'lyps progress to cancer, Lance said. " It remains to be seen whether, or at what stage, aJ . tering the diet keeps people from developing colon cancer," he said. "We followed these participants only for four years, and cancer develops over a number of decades. Perhaps intervening ea rli er in life would result in a different outcome." The PPT trial in volved I, 905 people, all of whom had had benign colon polyps removed within the previous six months. UB contributed 262 participants. or about 12.5 percent of the total. Although few polyps-abnormal growt h s of t h e co lon liningprogress to cancer, cancer develops only when polyps are present. The PPT trial was designed to determine if eating a diet composed of 20 per· cent or less of total caJories from fa t, at least 18 grams of dietary fiber for every 1,000 ca1ories consumed, and lots of fruits and vegetables could prevent polyps from growing hack after they were removed. Participants were assigned ran · domly to one of two groups: an in· tervention group, which received intensive counseling on adopting the n<W diet; and a control group. which received a standard brochure on healthy eating. All und erwent colonoscopy at one and four years after randomization, and all com pleted food-frequency question naires throughout the study. Based on these questionnaires, the intervention was rema rkably successful in changing ea ti ng habits: Participants in that group cu t their fa t in take by about one-third, in creased their fiber consumption by nearly 75 percent, and ate about two-t hirds more fruits and veg etables than before the study. In con trast, participants in the contro l group made only small changes in these three diet components. However. the percentage of pa rticipants who developed at least one recu rren t polyp during the study was nearly identicaJ in both groups: 39.7 percent (intervention) and 39.5 percent (controls). In addition, there was no di ffere nce between the groups in the mean number of recurrent polyps per person, nor in their size or degree of progression. The researchers noted that despite these findings. the idea that a healthy diet may lower the risk of colon cancer should not be discarded entirely. Several fac to rs, incl udin g stud y length and potential reporting errors, could have influenced this study's findings. Lance said. In addition, such a diet in known to have a favorable impact on cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.

News Services Editor A DULTSolllicted with inca pa cita tin g muscle weakness and pain may be suffering from an easily treatable vitamin D deficiency. UB endocrinologists have found. The report, the first to describe cases in the United States of severe myopathy due to a lack of vitamin D. will appear in the April 24 issue of Archives of hrternal Mcdicir~e. Paresh Dandona, professor of medicine and director of the Divi- sion of Endocrinology, Diabetes ond Metabolism for UB and Kaleido Health, reporrs that five patients confined to wheelchairs because of severe ,n uscle weakness regained normal muscle strength after four to six weeks of vitamin D supplementation. He has treated another five since the report was written . V~tamin D is produced by the liver in the presence of sufficient calcium and su nlight. Dandona said thot myopothy due to vitamin D deficiency has been described for some time in the UK and Nort hern Eu · rope, owing to the lack of sunshine in those regions. .. Immigrant co mmunit ies are particularly vulnerable to this condition because of their limited exposure to the sun, their pigmented skin and vegetarian diel," Dandona said. " In addition to osteomalacia (softening of the bones), myopothy is a well - recognized feature of this cond ition in these regions. "In the United States,'vitamin D deficiency has only recently been appreciated. especially in the northern areas bordering Conoda We see vitamin D deficiency in the hospital setting ond in the community at large during the winter months, but in this country, there are no reports of incapacitating muscle weakness asso~ cioted with vitamin D deficiency~ There is no data on how wide~ spread this syndrome is in the U.S., but Dandono said it is likely quite common in the northern U.S. in persons who, for whatever reason, have littl e expos ure t o sunl ight, and among those who live where there arc long winter.; and limited sunUght. The five cases Dandona describes involve a 37-year-old woman with diabetes, a man :md woman in their 70s,a67·year-old woman with can cer, and a 46-year~ o l d woman with a history of psoriasis, joint pain and anorexia nervosa. All patients were wheelchair· bound and complained of severe muscle pain, weakness and bone tenderness. In each case, the weak· ness had been anributed 10 other causes: old age, problems associoted with diobetes ond general debility.

Nina Kaars. assistant vice provost was ONCERNS among various campus constituencies about the focus of UB's freshman-orientation progr.un has prompted the university to revise again the structure of orientation. The new changes to the program will include a mid-summer session, as well as an end-of-summer event to addr<SS the importance of both academic and student-life issues for ~ incoming students. J: Earlier this year, the administration § had announced that the program g would be changed to a s_ingle, twn- ~ and-a-half-day program at the rod of summer for all 3,000 freshmen. In past yr:ars,orimtatiori had consisted of a series of two-and-a-half- for undergraduate education and day sessions offered to small groups director of advisement, explained of incoming freshmen throughout that the finalized reorganization will include a oomplex four-phase apthe summer.

The program will begin with r:arly proach is desirable for S=er 2000 orientation programming." said Pro- course registration as Phase I. So far, vost David Triggle. "As a result, we student and parent response to the now are commined to providing early registratiol\ proc<ss has b«n both an improved s~Lmm<r experi- very positive, explained Kaars, who ence and an expanded opening-day noted that allowing students to register early will reduce their anxiety program for aD n<w students. "Beginning late last yr:ar, we at- about schedules and g<ning into the t<rnpted to d<v<lop an 'end-of-sum- right oourses. It also will allow ample mer-only' program for our o<west time for the university t o = that students," explained Triggle. "Whiie enough courses are being olfm:d, there may be some merit in pursu- aa:ording to Kaars. C She added that studmt.s have b«n asked to fill out a new registrationactivation form so that Undergraduate Education can determine the appropriate advisor to match with individual students. Advisors will personally communicate with students to help them register. Advisors also will try to regist<r all incoming students in blocks, or "learning communities," in which groups of abo.ut 24 students share the same schedule, according to Kaars. This yr:ar, only half of freshmen were block-registered. Phase U will be made up of S<ven overnight summer sessions, with about 400 students in each session, that will have a focus on student life and student-transition issues. Students will stay in the residence halls, attend a safety presentation, set up their email accounts and obtain their UB Cards. The summ<r sessions, coordinated by Student Affairs; will be short<r than the twonight program in 'past yr:ars. since the early-registration pbase eliminates the need for the registration/ advisement componcnL Transfer-student orientation will continue to be held separately on selected dates in the swnmer. The third phase will take place on Aug. 25, the Friday b<fo"' classes begin. It will kickoff with a first~r Freshmen Convocation in which all incoming freshmen will gath<r in Alumni Arena. Parents are invited and the <vent will be hosted by President and Mrs. William R. Greiner. Following the convocation, studenls will break into their learning communities for academic-overview presentations, followed by faculty presentations that will allow departments the opponunity to showcase their programs, explained Kaars. The faculty programs will be followed bysj,ecial programming by various advisement Units on such topics as how to choose a major, study abroad and cou=-plaa:menL The day will conclude with the traditional pimic for new students apd their families and a concen, sponsored by Student Affairs. Phase IV will take place during September W<lcome W<ekmd,Aug. 26-27, when various programs and workshops will be offered for students on suclrinformation-technology issues as how to set up compulers in the residence halls and computer-fraud. aware.ncss. Students also will be introduced to the UB Libraries, which now are largely computer-based. Kaars added that th<re will be an assessment aft..- this yr:ar's phased approach to ddermine how the orientation program will be structured in future years. �Al!rii211,21111D/Vot.31.1o.111 7 RIA targets repeat offenders Researcher urges modification ofappraisals ofDWI cases By IIAntt.UH WEAVER Rqx>rttr Contributor T HE assessment of OWl offenders needs to be modified to focus on identifying characteristics of those most likdy to be repeat offender> and whether treatment addressing their alcohol and drug use is necessary, a UB research~ reoommended at the "Lifesaven 2000 National Conference on Highway Safety Priorities" held recenrly in Atlanta. "We need to re-evaluate how we assess and treat OWl offenders," said T homas H. Nochajski. a principal investigator with the Research Insti - tute on Addictions. "Recent research Indicates that the type of assessment can impact on DWI recidjvism and retention in treatment. "There are certain characteristics that appear to have utility in identi fying po tential DW I recidivists," Nochajski noted. "Th ose characte risti cs in cl ud e higher levels of depression and anxiety, a high number of crashes and moving violations, a criminal history of crimes other than OWI,and a family history of alcoholism or drug problems, including having a family member arrested for OWl. Rq>eat OWl offenders also are more likdy than first-time OWl offend· ers to be diagnosed with severe dependency or multiple diagnoses for alcohol and drug addiction. Other potential identifiers i'ndude a propensity to take risks and using driving as a tension reliever." Nochajski said assess ment of OWl offenders should elicit from them the criticaJ information necessary to determine whether treatment is necessary. "Furthermore," he added, "the assessments should allow for indi'vidual treatment planning that can help motivate the individual to engage in the treatment process and increase the likelihood that the in- TheMnil dividual will completothetreatment program." Nochajski recently was awarded a grant of $2.6 million from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to study techniques that have proven useful with other populations, but have not been tried in the criminal-justia area. Through the use of motivat ional techniques, participants will be encouraged to evaluate their indi vidual "pros and cons" of alcohol use and to ~ an infonned decision about their future use of alcohol. A .. harm -reduction" approach also will be introduced as a means of changi ng the behaviors of clients who may not want, or currently be able, to make the move toward total abstinence, a reason many give for having dropped out oft.-.atment in the past. A pilot study showed that these methods, used in conjunction, proved successful in getting~ents to engage in the treatment process. Smaller classes seen as alternative to ''MotherHen" To the Editor: Just like in schools aUover the country, some at our university believe that computers are the solution to all our teaching problems. Computers are great and are changing the world, but one has to be aware of their limitations. Computers can calculate at unbelievable speeds, but they ca nn ot think for us. In physics and mathematics. thinking analytically is of crucial importance. Unfortunately, many school systems are not doing eno ugh to devel op this skill and memorization is emphasized ove r understandi ng. Thus, for example, many students do not always comprehend what it means when a physics instructor tells them to "think" and "understand" the material they are taught. ·rncse two words, aU too often, do not seem to connect. Just reading the material over and over without some deep thinking simply does not work in physics. You cannot solve problems by just plugging numbers into a formula, a co'mmon misconception. You must know precisely what each formula means and, quite often, have to bring together several formulas-and concepts-to get the correct solution. By practici ng and solving many problems propc.r ly-and not just searching fur a fo rmula to substitute data intoand thinking analytically, you can learn to do this. ..Operation Mother Hen," as it was described to us, allows studen ts to access a site where they can see ..over and over again" material that was presented in class The idea-;u least one-is that repetition will hdp. That may be true when you arc learning a song. bUt physics and mathematics are not singing. I always urge students to talk to me at the end of a class or during my office hours if they have problems with the material I presented. In smaller classes of less than 50 students, I ask students to inter· rupt me if they have questions. After listening to a qu~tion and understanding where the difficulty lies, I usually can refonnulate things in a way that will hdp the student A com· puter--even rhe .. Moth er Hen" bran~not do this. Regarding the comment that Operation Mother Hen might free the student from taking notes and allow him/her to give their complete at· tcntion to the words of the instruc· tor, that is also counterproductive. Students must learn to take notes and distill the essentials. A good teacher has to keep an eye on the class and note if students are keeping up with things, and slow down when necessary. ln smaller classes. an instructor should periodically poll the class and ask if there are questions. Questions also will help slow the pace of a fast class. Thking notes in class is extremely important, since it keeps the student focused on the material that is being presented. One of the dangers of Operation Mother Hen is that it may lead students to skip classes and treat the course as a correspondence class. Rather than Mother Hen (Par· rot}-type operations, our university should strive for smaller classes that give the instructor the opponunity fo r give-and-take with stud ents. My recommendation: Do away with all th<' intimidating. auditorium-siu classes and limit all classes to ap· proximately 50 students. I teach the sam<' in troductory. non-calculus, physics course to both day- about 250 st ude nts-a nd night-about 40 students---<lasses and the results art' significantly bet · ter-as much as 5 percent on the average--in the smaller class. Just imagine how such a policy would enhance US's image as an institution really interested in pro· viding its stud ents with a quality education. Mkh.eiRam Professor of Physics Math department suffers from lack of hiring To the Editor: The cymmunity may appreciate a viewofthe impact,at thedepartmentallevel,ofthe management problems in the CoUege of Arts and Sciences (CAS). Here is a picture of the situation in Mathematics, one of the few VB departments to place in the top half of the most recent rankin&' by the National Research Council (NRC). last year, long before the CAS hir· ing freeze, the UB administration failed to honor an explicit written commitment, made by the previous dean and provost, to hire in MathematicS-this in the face of the recent I 0 percent decline in our faculty size and the oonsequent strain on our course offerings. Since then, the depar\)nent has ·received little support for its mission from thr CAS leadership. As a resuJt, our present chair, who also is the leader of one of our two focus areas, has been disheart · ened to the point that he is unwilling to serve a second term. Worse, he has sought outside offers., one of which he is poised to accept. Another distinguished colleague has taken a much-too·carly retirement. The negative impact of all these departures on our research -and teaching programs is quite severe. Thus, in just two years, major dam age has been done to a suca.'SSfuJ program and department,damage it will take serious time and effort to repau. And, no repairs being in sight, the department'sstatureand future NRC rankin&' are in jeopardy. Qtfford 0. Bloom, Stephen R. C•vlor, Ching Chou, Lewts A. Cobum, Michael J.

It is the intention and respo~ ­ sibility or the Univenity to prevent, correct, and, if neees· sary,discipline behavior that violates this poliey. Discipline may include suspension or termination where appropriate. Programmatically the University will provide appropriate education and training with respect to the meaning. significance and impact of sexuaJ harassment for all Univenity f.tculty, staff, and students. reasonable person would find abusive. (This explanation or "hostile environment" sexual harassment is based on U.S. Supreme Court decisions. See, e.g., Meritor Savings A Assignment of Responsibility Bank,FSBvVinson4n U.S. 57,67 ( 1986)).

Divenity and Affirmative Action Administration (EDAAA) 2. The Director of EDAAA has overall responsibrochures on sexual harassment for additional informa· bility for the administration of these policies, for tion and definitions. investigation of allegations or sexuaJ harassment, for the conduct or formal sexual harassment resolution proceedings, and for supervision or the activities or the Sexual Harassment Inro·rmation Advisors. The EDAAA Director and the EDAAA Associates are available at all times to assist in handling complaints. B. Sexual Harassment Complaint A sexual harassment complaint shall be defined as any meeting or discussion between the complainant and a University official (see below), the purpose of which is to inform the University that sexual harassment may be oc· curring and to provide information sufficient to identify the accused. Once this meeting or discussion has occurred, the University is considered by law to be "on notice" and may be required to investigate such a complaint. A complaint is an allegation of a violation of University policy Until an investigation process has been completed, no inferences can be d~wn as to the truth or falsity of the allegation. A University official is any person charged with theresponsibility for preventing, investigating, resolving o r reporting sexual harassment complaints (e.g., The Director, Associate and Assistant Directors of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Affirmative Action Administration (EDAAA), Saual Harassment Information Advisor, Employee Relations Specialist, Supervisor, DepartmcnrHead, Dean, Vice President). C. Sexual Harassment Information Advisors Saual Harassment Infonnation Advisors are university personnd who have received extensive sexual harassment training, conducted by the Director of EDAAA, to act'as educators and trainers on sexual harassment. Vice Presidents, Deans and Senior Administrative Of· ficers will designate an individual to serve as the Sexual Harassment lnfonnation Advisor in their respective areas to provide general information to anyone with concerns regarding sexual harassment. The primary responsibilities of the Sexual Harassment lnfonnation Advisor are information d.issemination and education; to act as a resource for faculty, staff and students on issues of sexual harassmen~ to provide informa· tion regarding questions or concerns about sexuaJ harassmen~ and to direct individuals to the EDAAA office for a more in-depth assessment of si tuation s or concerns brought to their attention. Sexual Harassment Wormation Advisors' activities arc supervised by the Director of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Affirmative Action Administration (EDAAA). Sexual Harassment Infurmation Adviso'" are not authorized to conduct investigations, nor will they maintain records or confidential discussions. Ill. (;eneral Polley Statement The University at Buffalo is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which all persons who par· ticipate in University programs and activities can work together in an atmosphere &.e or all forms of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. including sexual. Specilically, every member or tbe University community obould be ,._,.,that tbe Uniwnity is ltrorJ8Iy opp.-1 to sexual harassment and that such behovioc is prohibited bach by brw B. Education I Promoting awareness of the definition and consequences or sexual harassment is an essential element or this policy. Programs will be developed and implemented to educate memb65- of the UB community to the: nature and seriousness of this offense; to promote awareness and prevention; and to identify appropriate procedural processes to address sexual harassment offenses. The intent or the policy is to inform all persons who participate in University programs and activities about their right to file a harassment com- plaint and the procedures for doing so if there is an in· fringement upon that right. The Director of EDAAA shall develop, coordinate and implement training for Sexual Harassment Information Advisors and other persons involved in counseling. inves· tigating or adjudicating sexuaJ harassment complaints under this policy. C. Protection from Retaliation for Com- plaining Party and Witnesses Federal and State law and Univenity policy prohibits any form or retaliation against a person who filesadiscrimina· tion complaint •. including a charge or sexual harassment. It is the responsibility of the Director and designated Investigators from EDAAA to state dearly to the charged party that any form or retaliation against a person for having filed a complaint is expressly prohibited and will result in serious disciplinary sanctions. This protection from retali ation similarly applies to persons who participate as witnesses in discrimination investigations or adjudicatory proceedings. D. Charged Party: Protection from Bad Faith Complaints In the interest or protecting charged parties from bad faith complaints, if the investigation by the Di=tor of EDAAA (or designated Investigators or the Office ofEDAAA or the Investigation Pand which are conducted under the auspices of the Director ofEDAAA) reveals that the complaint is malicious, or knowingly false, or fundamentally frivolous, the Director of EDAAA shall dismiss such charges and the investigation will be prompdy terminated. As with any complaint brought in bad faith, the aggrieved party may resort to any applicable griev:mce procedure. In addition, the administration i.ser... the right to consider and ultimately commence disciplinary action against anyone who egregiously misuses the process. E. Confidentiality All individuals who are~ in the complaint report· ·ins. iniOnnal resolutions and invatiptiYt proa:a are .... quired to maintain confidentialitY. or the proaiedings and not reveal any infon:nation that they 1eam in the coune or these proceeding>. Persons seeking information 011 a situation or behavior that may constitute sexual harassmenubould be,._,., or the following: If the person malting the inquiry wishes to ensure that the discussion remains completely confi. dential and that no action is takm unless he/she wishes to PI!RUe the matter, it is essential that the inquiry or request for information remain non-<pecific and the person making the not disclose information suffi. ' cient to identify the acrused. This is necasary because the University is Iega11y obligated to investigate, even witb out the inquirer's consent, onct it is informed that harassment may be ocCurring. • Once the penon disdooes informatioo sufficieot to identify the OIXUsed, be/she will be considered to IYM filed a complaint with the tfuivmity. Tbe confidentiolity or the information received, the privacy or the individuals involved, and the wishes or the complainant regarding action by the Univenity cannot be gwuanteed, but will be protected to as great a deg= as is 1egally possible. While · the expressed wishes or the complainant regarding confidentiality will be considered, they must be weighed against the respc>DSibility of the Univenity to act upon tbe infor. mation and the right or the charged party to naive information about the allegations. When a complainant requests an informal review, the names or the involved individuals and units must be identified to the EDAAA Investigator. If a decision is made to go forward with an informal review, the charged party has a right to the name or the complainant and the charge. Non-complaining parties, e.g., witnesses, will not be disdosed and the privacy interests. of these non-complaining parties will be protected. If a formal grievance is later filed,acoess to documents is governed by law and by regulations established p_ursuant to the specific procedure being implemented. -,.,qwry IV. Complaint Procedures Employees and students may seek resolution through·the Office of EDAM. Employees and students are also encouraged to seek information from any Sexual Harassment In· formation Advisor, their Supervisors, Department Olairs, or other Univenity officials. Employees and students also retain the right to seek resolution through external alter· natives such as agencies or the federal or state government or, for those to whom they are applicable, the sexual harassment procedures of the Graduate Medi~ and Dental Education Consortium of Buffalo. A. Complaint Reporting Any faculty member, staffemployee, or student who believes she/he has been victimized by sexual harassment is·encouraged to prompdy confer with a Sexual Harassment lnfurmation Advisor or directly contact the EDAAA Office. In the event a situation occurs that warrants immediate action during non-business hours (w<:ekt:nds,evenings and at night) the complainant should contact Public Safety for assistance (645-2222). The Di=tor of EDAAA reports to the President and is charged with the implementation of the Univenity's nondiscrimination obligations. The Director has the primary ~nsibility or accepting and processing discrimination complaints, including complaints cha!ging a faculty member, staff employee or student with sexual harassment Complaints initially made to other University officers or personnd must be reported by the official or personnd to the Director or EDAM. Efforts to resolve complaints through infonnal intervention, mediation or investigation will be undertaken impartially and in as prompt and as confidential a manner as possible. In the event an informal or fonnal complaint is filed against the Provost, Sr. Vice President, or a Vice President, the Director of EDAM will conduct an investiption,consult with SUNY Counsel and report the findings to the . President In the event an informal complaint is filed against the President, the Director of EDAAA will conduct an inves· ligation and consult with SUNY Counsel for a resolu· tion. If a formal complaint is filed against the President, the Director of EDAAA and SUNY Counsel will conduct an investigation and Chairperson or UB Council will be notified. c-tion: Complaints will ordinarily btlnvest:igated only when the complaining party so elects. in extraordinary circumstances, howiMr, tbe Di=tor or EDAAA may deter· mine to investigate serious allegations brought to his/her attention, even when tbe a1J.cted party is reluctant to pursue such dwga.

The role of the Direaor or AssociatesofEDAAA will be one ofcoUaboration and support if warranted. Tune Period for FiJins a Complaint Prompt reporting of a complain~ before the behavior becomes severe or pervasive, is strongly encouraged. This will allow for a rapid response to and resolution of the objectionable behavior. Ordinarily, complaints should be filed with the Director of EDAAA within one year after the last act occurred. In instances involving a student complaint against a faculty member charging harassing behavior that occurred in the context of a subordinate-supervisor academic relationship (e.g., teaching, advising, thesis or dissertation supervision, coaching, or clinical medical supervision ), the time period maybe extended until one (I) year after the student is no longer under the faculty member's academic or clinical medical supervision or three (3) years from the date the most rea:nt alleged harassing behavior occurred, whichever is earlier. Caution: Absent aceptional circums1ances, the complaining party's failure to file a complaint within the relevant limitltion period will lead to dismissal of the complaint. Election to Fde IntmWiy Versus l!.xtmWiy \ The Direaor of EDAAA is the Univer1ity official responsible for accepting and handling complaints of discrimination , including sexual harassment. The complaining party is encouraged to have the complaint inv.stigated and mediated internally in accordance with these procedures. Once notified, the Univer1ity will take immediate and appropriate corrective action when it determines that harassment has occurred. The complaining party is free at any time (before or after the filing of a complaint with the Director of EDAAA) to file a charge or institute formal proceedings before a Federal or State agency authorized by 1 law to investigate such claims. If a formal proceeding befo re a FederaJ o r State agency is instituted or a lawsuit is filed, the Director of EDAAA will proceed in the manner 4. a. The complainant determines that the issue has been resolved satisfactorily; or . b. Either the complainant or the EDAAA Investigator feels that efforts to resolve the complaint by informal means are no longer desirable or productive;.or c. The EDAAA Investigator determines that the complaint involves conduct that does not meet the definition of sexual harassment (e.g., involves conduct of a completely nonsexual nature) and thus is not appropriate for resolution under these procedures; or d. The EDAAA Inv.stigator's decision results in a factual determination that sexual harassment has not occurred (a "no cause" finding). The decision will include, if appropriate, reasonable steps to restore the reputation of the accused party, such as expungement of records, and unless the charged party otherwise requests, notification to per10ns who participated in the investigation of the complainL lithe inv.stigation reveals that the complaint is malicious, or knowingly false, or fimdamentally frivolo% the EDAAA Direaor or designated EDAAA Inv.stigator shall dismiss such charges and the investigation will be prompdy terminated (see page 2, D: Protection from Bad Faith Complaints). Sexual Harrassment Policy and Procedures 2. 3. C. Formal Complaint Resolution If either party is dissatisfied with the outcome of the informal complaint resolution process, or if either party elects to p;oceed directly to the formal complaint investigation process, then the Director of EDAAA initiates that process. Electing this process does not preclude resorting at ihis stage or later to other remedies external to this procedure. All parties to a complaint will be assured of their right to due process. This formal complaint process differ.; from the informal process in several respects: The investigation reports, documentation and written records summarizing the statements of lhe complaining party, charged party, and any witnesses may be used as documentation for the fo rmal investigation and for any corrective actions recommended most appropriate under the circum stances, understandto the appropriate.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

A facul ty member in the depart· ments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.andEiectricaiEngine<r· . ingsince 1962,andin his present post for 19 years, Martens has presided over the equivalent of several life· times of technological change in esiuCJtion. And he's all for it. I From room -sized mainframes and analog computers to desktop PCs and the ubiquity of the World Wide Web, Martens has watched in· formation technologies undergo quantum change. Most importantly, he has seen people change their perceptions that computers are the proprietary responsibility of mathematicians and engineers to a belief that computers can play some role in nearly everyone's life. Martens often was the main driver behind that change in perception at UB. " I'm an advocate for, and apostle of, information technologies,.. he says. " I only see how they suppon the needs, desires and expectations of people." His characteristic enthusiasm for the potential of technology and its life-enhancing powe~ was evident even when he was a boy, growing up in Luebcck, Germany, a city east of Hamburg. during World War II. After the war, Martens began to develop his passion for all things mechanical. The aftermath of com· bat had turned Luebe'k into a strange landscape of abandoned of the very first oomputer labs he outs, and there were times each day when there was no power," he says. Martens, then 12,tookthebatt<r· ies he had foWJd on abandoned air· craft and converted them into a supplementary lighting system that he wired directly into the house where his family lived so, even during blackouts, they could use the electricity. " Mywiringd.idn'tpassanycodes," he adds, smiling. "but I had a lot of 1 customers in the neighborhood. Theywereveryappreciative." In 1952,Martens,hismotherand three sisters emigrated to the United States. He earned bachelo r's and master's degrees in mechanical en· gineerlng from the University of Rochester, and a doctorate in systerns science &om Michigan Stote University. He joined the UB faculty as an assistant professor in 1962. Notlongaft.orcomingtoUB,Mar, tensbecameanactivememberofthe univer.;ity's BedglingComputer Advisory Committee. ln the early '70s, he was named chair, in part, he thinks, "because I might have said one too many things about how we had to do boner in technology."

The survey, sponsored by th e )umpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Uteracy, measured the personal-finance knowledge of723 12th graders in public schools across the United States and compared the results with those from a similar survey conducted in 1997 by the coalition. MandeU announced his results ai a news conference held last week at the Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C. The survey is a pan of an effon by )umpStart to W raise awareness about the necessity of including personal-finance courses within all U.S. high schools. On average, participants in the 2(X)() survey answered 51.9 percent of the questions correctly--a failing grade based upon the typical grade scale used by schools (90- 100 percent =A,80-89percent =B. etc.) The average score in the 1997 survey was 57.3 percent. The students' worsening perfor· mance on the survey, MandcU believes, can be attributed partly to increased pressure placed on high schools to focus on courses that will help students pass basic exit aams, at the exclusion of more progressive courses, such as personal finance. .. We certainly should have empa· thy for the challenges confronting our nation's high·school teachers and administrators, but we also m~ recognize the disastrous effects of not properly preparing our teen· agers for the financial realiti es of modem life," Mandell says. "We are sending young adulu into the world where they'll have to rnai<e financial decisions more complex than ever before, in pan because there are so many choi~ out there, and they are just so poorly informed and equipped to make key decisions," he says. Since 1997, personal finanQ has been incorporated into the curriculum standards of only a handful of states, including idaho, Ulinois and Pennsylvania. according to Mandell. The low number is alarming, he says, considering that half of highschool graduates directly enter the workplace rather than go on to college, with the number even higher among minority students. Mandell believes, how.:ver, that the issue is not just availability of personal-finanQ cour>es, but how the information is taught, noting that the survey results showed some hisl!<r knowledge levels among studedts with interactive classroom training. A quarter of the survey respon · dents, Mandell points out, had participated in th e .. Stock Market Game," where students invest a hy· pathetical $100,000 during a 10week simulation ofWall Street trad ing. Jn response to a question about where to invest money for lo ngterm growth, 23.4 percent of the students in the latest survey correctly answered "stocks" as the most likely financial instrument to have the highest return, versus 14.7 perant in the 1997 survey. In addition, students who participated in a high-school stock-market game scored better on the survey (55. 1 percent) than did students who completed an entire course in money management (5 1.4 percent) or an entire course in economics (5 1.0). "Knowledge of personal finance is not something students can develop by memorizing term s and phrases." he says. "It's a skill that stu· dents learn when given the oppor- tunity to apply concepts and practices as part of a thoughtfully designed rurriculum." Other findings from the survey: • 1beaveragescorefor Caucasian students was 54.5 percent, compared with 53.6 percent for Asian Americans,45.3 percent for Hispanics. 47 percent for African Americans and 38.6 percent for Native AmeriCUI5. Males averaged slightly higher scores (52.2 percent) than females (5 1.6 percent). 8 Students demonstrated an im· proved appreciation for the value of college, compared·to the results of the 1997 survey. Fifty-two percent . (comparedwith9.9percentin 1997) said that they would expect to cam • about 70 percent more money as college graduates than they would as high-school graduates. Students' knowledge of taxes decreased: Just 38.3 percent ofthe stu dents (compared with 49.2 percent in 1997) correctly answerfii that their federaJ income tax would at least double if their annual income grew from $15,000 to $30,000. 8 Students whose parents often discuss money matters in front of them scored only slightly better on the survey (52.6 percent) than did students whose parents sometimes (52.5 percent) or rarely (52.4 percent) discuss money matters in front of them. However, students whose parents never discuss money matters in front of them achieved a score of 42.5 percent. "For students to improve Lhe1r knowledge of personal finance, we need to recognize that high school is lhe appropriate place to give meaningful, interactive and fun instruction in personal fma.nce," Mandell says. "Until that happens. we can expect students to contin ually S(Ore poorly on personal-finance exams and that they will con tinue to make poor fi nancial decisions and encounter fi nancial difficuhio as adu lts."

The results of this unique effort, now in its second year, have been remarkable:Ofthosewhoparticipated in the initiative's small study groups. 90 percent returned to SEAS for their sophomore year, versus only 63 percent of those who did not participate in the groups. Further, at least half-and sometimes as many as three-quarters-of the studenl5 in these groups felt that their participation had helped increase their overall grade in the subject by a letter grade or more. The transition from high school to roUege is tough, regardless of what rourses a student takes. But for the freshman engineering student, extremely demanding coursework often is coupled with an WlSpOken sense that only a select few will make it. "Manystudenl5 felt like they were being thrown up against this steep cliff and the idea was, whoever hadn't faUen off at the end of four years would be an engineer," remembered William G. Wild, Jr., a 1982 graduate of SEAS. Wdd has returned to UB, where he also earned master's d"l!J""S in English and engineering. as director of special student programs to launch the Student ExceUence Initiatives. He said· the program goes much farther than simply helping to improve grade outcomes in certain conrses.lt's about effecting a cultun change in engineering «iucation, he stressed, moving away from a "weed-them-out mentality" to a program that strives to help each student reach his or her potential. "In this scenario," said Wdd, "all the fit and willing survive, and not merely a select(Percentage." The idea was not to ~the academics any less rigorous on the stu· dents, he pointed ouL "If you watered down the engineering curriculum, then our buildings would shake and planes woutd faU from theskies.The climb is necessary, but it should be a much dif- • A !JW!datory introductory engineering roune, "Case Studies in Engin«ring." designed to aJlSW<r the questions manyfieshmen hoM about the different engineering disciplines and to introduce them to the exciting paths an engineer can take • A program that ronnects freshmen with SEAS faculty mentors who help students navigate the transition ~ .. . . . . .~~ ~ • o ~ ~--:c:--:-:-:;---:::--:-:~-l+..::--:--':--::::--:-~"-:-...J ferent process; it should be a structureddimb." Wdd ahd Ryan work with both SEAS and CoUege of Arts and Sciences faculty members to continually evolve courses and support services to meet student needs without sacrificing academic rigor. Acrording to Wdd, the Student Excellence Initiatives give students both the academic and nonacademic tools they need to have a fair chance at success. The program includes five major pans: • An "opening-day., ~nt at orientation,_designed to encourage a speciaJ sense of community and team spirit among all freshmen engineering studenl5 and with SEAS faculty • Identification of academically underprepared students from the time of acceptanc;, providing them with academic suppon. advisement and individualiz.ed career counseling to help students find their interesl5 within, or even beyond, engineering • Small study groups in calculus, physics and chemistry-<>pen to all engineering students-that meet weekly under the guidance of an SEAS staff member to work on cour~ materi3.1., problems and engineering study skills to the university and to learn mou about engineering as a profession The effort begins long before students arrive on campw in the fall Based on dellliled studies Wdd undertook last summer, SEAS 'now knows that a student's scores on the New York State Regen15 exams in math, chemistry and physics are important-but underutilizedpred.ictors of his or her success in engineering school "It's not a question of not being good enough," said Wdd, "but engineering is a building block profession. If you don't hoM the lim block, then everything else will be shaky." Si nc e incorporating Regents scores into engineering admissions decisions, the school is rejecting about 8 percent more of the applicants than it did before. But that doesn't mean that students who hoM low scores on some of the criteria can't get into SEAS; it simply means that now, if they are accepted into SEAs, they will be required to tili special skill-building steps. "The philosophy behind these initiatives is that we'u saying to students, 'Your goal is not to get into SEAS; your goal is to get out with a degree,'" be said. After just one semester, the number of studenl5 enrolled in the small study groups doubled, and by now, Wdd estimates, one in """'1' three or four freshmen bas enrolled in at least one group. In fact, the groups are filled to capacity, even though they are purely voluntary and are not taken for credit. · "'Study-skills courses are not ~; said Wtld, "but they are not typically designed to address the issues engineering studenu face. The question for us was, how rould we make it relevant to engineering?., Taught by Wild and Richard Dutton, senior programmer in Science and Engineering .Node Services, and assisted by student tutors. the groups are highly interac!M: and have a student-teacher ratio that doesn't exceed I0: I. The objectiv<s are to help students understand how to approach course -material through "'concept maps" of textbooks and "thoughtful practice" of problems, while facilitating the critical transition from learning as highsChool students to learning as rollege freshmen. The experience also drives home an essential point that students are not alone. Referring to the"dimb" that is the engineering curriculum, Wild noted: "Nobody climbs alone here, unless by choice." The "opening day" event that occurs before classes begin also is designed to make that point dear to students. Students are assigned to groups that work together on a fun engineering project, and spend the day discussing social and academic issues with faculty mentors. upperclass student leaders and representatives of SEAS student dubs. "These activities stan to foster a sense among students that they are all in this together and that everybody is working together for the students' success," said Wdd. JrooicaDy, the Student Excellence Initiatives program wassputred by an interest in boosting mention of students. However, Wdd has found it sometimes works best for the students when it works against retention. "'ccasionally, we've found, we actually hoM to work against mention," he said. "You can keep some students in engineering in order to keep your numbers up. or you can teU the student the truth. which sometimes is 'this is not the p1acr (or you.'

' The recent story about UB in 1M Buffalo N.ws authored by Professor Mark Shechner contains a statement associated with my name that is incorrect. Professor Shechner wrote: "In January, RoQert ). Wagner, UB's via president for finance, issued a report detailing the deterioration of the budget for libraries, oomputer services, business servias and informatio n technology. among other things.Sintt I m9J, the budget for those servias has been reduced by 24 perant." The report he is referring to, which was circulated to vice presidents, deans, Facuity Senate Budget Prioritjes Committee and others, notes that University Facilities sustained a total reduction of24.2 peranl This was aeombination ofbase allocation reductions, savings factol1 aod the additional oosts related to new facilities on both campuses. Nowhere in the report does it state that all the servias noted by Professor Shechner were reduced by 24 perant. It is not true. In fact, areas listed in the artide eadude fa~ties and that is the one area in University Servias that has had the most significant reduction. The impression left with the reader, however, is that all the servias units listed were reduced by this amount. I knO\Y that this is a "story" and is identified as such, but I find it un - acaptable when data are used inaccu rately. I wo uld have been pleased to correct this inaccuracy if asked I was not. Most disturbing to me is that this type of "story telling" goes on frequently, it is often inaccurate, it i.s stated as faa and there is not ad equate effon made to secure the cor· rect information. On occasion when the official information is provided, it is ignored Disagreement on the information sources or the analysis is part of the process. I support that, but reporting information falsdy is not. It diminishes the value of the discourse. R-.:J.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Panel supports Women's Studies FSEC recommends transforming Womens Studies from program to department By MARA McGINNIS Reporter Assistant Editor A FrE.Rnearlytwomonths of co nsiderat ion, the Faculty Senate ~tive Committee at its March 29 mcctingapproved the transforma- tion of the Women's Studies Program inthc CoUegeof Arts of Sciences into a full-fledged department. The issue first came to the FSEC in ea rl y Februa ry when Claude Welch, SUNY Distinguished Seovice Professor in the Dcpanment of Political Science and chair of the senate's Academic Planning Committee, submitted an interim repon announc ing that while Women's Studies has been functioning as a department, it never officially was gran ted departmental status by the university. Isabel Marcus, professor of law. sybmitted to the APC an 18-page repon on Women's Studies, which prompted the comminee to recommend to lh c FSEC its formal accepta nce of departmental statu s. Marcus had been appointed chair of the proposed department by form"r Provost Thomas Headrick. However, when the APC recom m ended approvi n g thl· proposal based on Marcus ' report , FSEC members still had concerns. such as the small number of full -time fac ulty in the program, the question nf whether this change would cost the CAS anything, and co nfus ion about what appeared to be a change in the trend from consolidating or dissolv ing small programs at the university. Marcus told the FSEC that the p rog ram fun ctions hased on a model sipl ilar to that of comparative literature by utilizi ng adjunct faculty to supplement the core full - time faculty members. She listed in her report the nam es of more than 20 full - time UB faculty members se rving as adjuncts in \-\'omen's Stud i~s. She also noted thdt rhi~ model is common among the approximately 13 doctoral program!<! 111 women's studies nationwide. She ~1d ded that . aside from onl' faculty appointment promised by Headrick but post~>Oned due to the CAS hirmg fre~le , there \•.'auld lx· nt'lothercost incurred in making the program a department. FSEC members assun:d Marcu!l that th(')' did not question the qu.:~l ­ ity or rigor of the program. but rather wanted to kno w why makl· the program a department. rather than 1:naintainin g it as a program. Both CAS Dean Kerry G rant and Marcus said that if it is no t a depart · ment, the program is perceived by graduate students and other umver sities as being lc~ competi ti ve. Lou Sw.trtz, p rofessor nf l.:~w , noted that it was"unusual to sc:c th1., universi ty forming new depart ments,'' adding that tht' numhcr or lOrl' faculty would "probably nut grow w a cri tical mass" to be con Sidered on a national level.

Mohawk book examines road to utopia American studies faculty member finds that good intentions often leave tragic legacies By MAllY Bn1t SPINA News Services Editor HE road to utopia throughout Western civilization all too often has begun with what appeared to be someone's good intentiozis only to lead to tragic, shameful legacies that endure for generations, a UB faculty members says. In his new book, "Utopian Legacies: A History of Conquest and Oppression in the Western World," John C. Mohawk, associate professor of American studies, uwunt.s the continuing, all-too-familiar and often-bloody saga of man's inhumanity in the pursuit of utopia. This trngic legacy of war, hunger, poverty, injustice, ethnic d ..nsing and wholesale murder will continue, Mohawk predicts, as long as roankind stubbornly refuses to embrace diversity and respect for others. The well known history and events covered in the book span from ancient-Greek times to the present But Mohawk tdls th• story in the context of utopian social movements, pursuit of the ideal existence T and historical record. "The Garden of Eden, the Republic, the Workers' Paradise and similar utopian visions have existed since antiquity in most-if not all---of the world's cUltures, and bave played a very important role in the history of Western civilization;· says Mohawk, a member of the Seneca Nation. Indeed, they hav• played a very important role in the history of Western civilization, particularly during some of its darkest moments when people have been confro nted with ideas they found enormously appealing. ' "But th... powerfully attractive id..s propelled people into adventures that brought them into conflict with others and a too-oftentragic result of annihilation or near annihilation ·of the other, or of themselves," he observes. Throughout histl(,ry, untold num- hers of the '4,000-5,000 identified cultures have, at one time or another, sought to create their own version of a utopia-a word that literally means "no place"~r an ideal society. But most have had little impact on Western civilization because they cr.. ted their vision for themselves, disinclined to aggressively force it on others, Mohawk writes. He points out that utopian ideologies propose that there "has existed now, exists somewhere or could exist in the future a perfect society ... in which all human needs are satisfied, all problerps are solved and everyone's life is fulfilJed." Pursuit of utopian goals, which require material and non-material resources. and their achievement is "such a splendid objective" that followers are inclined to believe that nothing should stand in th• way of acquiring th• necessary resources. Toward this end, Mohawk paints a picture of abrutaJ·parad•throughout Western civilization----of indigenous peoples driven "from their lands or captured and forced into slavery, of oppon•nts who disappear. nn-er to be seen again or later turn up in mass graves. "Th~ is no reason to doubt that people are capable of embracing an imaginary perfect world-a utopia," says Mobawk, ' whil• pursuing materialistic objectives." The utopian vision is primary; the methods to gain necessary resources to achieve utopia are secondary-a means to an md, he says. West~rn utopianism should be viewed in the context of Western history and culttm, and not as isolated movertlf!rtt5 that can be dismissc:d as aberratio~ h• explains. "They are not aberrations--these movements are so wovm into the fabric of th• culture that to oonsfder them in isolation from the oonditions that produced them would not only diminish their importance, but deprive us of information Critical to an understanding of th• world ...., inh.n~· be explains. �ADri16, 111UU/Vot31.1o.26 Repcwta.

Walters, associate professor of computer science an d engineering, associate dean of the College of Arts and Scienas and codirector of IDEAS, the college's arts and technology center, has been named a fellow of the American Council on Education (ACE )for the 2000-200 1 academic year. The ACE Fellows Program is designed to strengthen institutions and leadenhip in American higher education by identifying and preparing promising faculty and senior administrators for respon.sible positions in college and university ad ministration. Walters is one of 33 fellows nominated by the presidents of their institution.s and selected this year in a national competition a nd o ne o f onl y fi ve wh o received $62,000 in additional grant money from an anonymous source to sup- D po rt their fellowship. Kerry Grant, dean of the College ofArts and Sciences, said ofWalters: ··often when announcements of special opportunities cross the desk, you rack your brain hoping to think of someone who has the qualifications sought by the program. "When the American Council on Education request arrived, Deborah Walters carne immediatdy to mind," he said. "She is keenly analytical, with a strong intuitive sense of the integration of the implication.s data and actual academic activities. She has been a key member of the academic administrativo leadership of the College of Arts anll Sciences. " I simultaneously wish her well and shudder a bit at the thought of losing her contribution next year," he added. Like other ACE fellows, Walters will focus on an issue of particular concern to her nominating institu tion: the use of technology as a lev•or for~ge. She will undertake this analysis d uring the next academic year as she \Wlrk.s with a university president and other senior officers at a designated host institution, yet to be named. In this capacity, she will participate in the highest level of institutional decision-making, participate in administrative activities and cootribute to a learning group focused on the designated i.ssue of concern to UB.

The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST ) offers Bobby as a free public service to further its missio n to expand opportunities for peoplt with disabilities through th e innovative uses of computer technology. CAST developed the idea of a helpful '"dctectove"-a Webbased entity that would expose barriers. encourage compliance with existing guidelines and teach Web des•gners <fbout accessibility. To anaJyu your Website, just type in the URL of the page that you want Bobby to examine. Bobby will display a report indteating any accessibility andior browser compatibilit y errors found on the page.

Nonetheless, continuous attention sition to the senior administration. Both events have sbakm con6dence in the fuiJ oommitment ofUB to envirolliJI<Iltal rtSponsibilityand stewardship, and to meaniogfulconsulta· tioo witi,J groups ofliciallyronstituted as environmental advisors. In light of these developments. we, the undersigned, call on theuni versity to: I. Rrinforcc its compliance with university environmental policies and strengthen the ETF as a campus environmental advocate. In order to maintain our reputation as a oationaJ leader in the green -campus _move- ment. UB should un<krtaU a process of re-committing itsdf to its excellent campus environmental poli· des and programs. A revitalized, empowered ETF can lead this process of recommitment, which needs to occur on all levels. If recommil· ment can be accomplishtd successfully, UB should consider the recruitmcnt aod retention benefits of markding itselfas a green-campus leader. 2. Comply with environmental laws and implement a more efli:ctM participation process. UB Should rig· orously follow and oomply with stale and federal environmental laws. UB should follow tbe spirit ofthe law and arndemic collegiality, and thus re· search and document environmental impacts in detail while support· ing extensi~ consultation and public participation on all newoonstruct:ion and other actions that impaa the natural environment. Relevant paperwork associated w.ith legal compliance should be shared with the ETF aod the campus community as it is being developed 3. Protect and restore campus natural areas. UB should protect remaining natural areas on campus in · keeping with the 20251aod use plan, which should be periodically re· viewed. UB should adopt a tree-protection policy that restricts tree removal pending a careful m-icw process, aod develop programs to restore existing natural areas on campus. One step in this direction would be to enhance existing natural regeneration areas by developing a program 10 accelerate natural succession. 4. Restrict use of pesticide.. UB should significantly reduce its use of pesticides-including herbicidesand implement an .integrated pest management program. The ~ of herbicide. to kill weeds on campus lawns can and should be eliminated by a combination of imprmed landscaping design, lawn-management techniques, mvironmental educa- tion and cultural change. We believe these are goals aod procedun:s fully appropriate to a world· class university that is rommined to environrncotal.sustainabilityaodsig· nificant consultation with relevant, informed groups as it examines and applies its policies. We look fprward to working effcctivdy with the senior administration and others in their implementation. Sincerely.

We are of one mind that SUNY is an important resoura for aD New Yorkers, and for many outsidt. our statt as well It is a visible, far-flung enterprise, much in the news because what happens is of interest to many. The university is also an institu· tion that prospers with openness and clarity, with the sharing of information and knowledge. It is, thus, distressing to learn that the very first statement issued un der a new chancellor, the very an- nouncement of his appointment, was flawed by creating a vastly erroneous impression as to the remu- neration imojved. It shows a contempt for the truth that embarrasses us aD, most of aD the cbancdlor himsdf. On top of a suspect provmance, we now have to deal with a half-truth, worse than a whole lie. What is thecbancdlor's response? So~e mumblings about it aD being perfectly legal? Even if legal, it is far from perfect! Hiding behind the hapless staff? Intimations that the ehan<l'Uor was not aware ofthe generous secondary labor amditions? Or are we going to hear a dear, loud, apology about a blunder made, and regrets about the shadow it casts on SUNY? Don't trivialiu the issue by point · e~ere: The more trivial the issue, the more insane to be dishonest about it. It is not the ing to salaries triviality of the amount or the unacceptability of the substantive result It is the distrust it sows and the shabbiness of conduct it displays. Worse than a C for clueless, an F for falsehood. A grim start. John c_ G . Boot. Cho1r and Prolnsor Deportment of Management Science and S)'Stems Calendar ~~ ...... Campus.4 p .m . Free. IP-0036.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Cuts pose challenges for libraries von Wahlde tells FSEC that UB has slipped out oftop 50 in research library rankings ByMAIIAMC~S R~er Assistant Editor T HE serious impact of UB's budget shortfall bas the University Ll'braries fucing a challenging fu ture, Barbara von Wahlde, associate vice president for University Librar· ies, told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at the group's March 22 meeting. A major indication of the nega· tive impact of recent budget problems, she reported, is that over the past few years, UB has slipped con- 1 siderably in the rankings of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), an organization of 120 institutions across the United States and Canada. The libraries dropped from num ber 43'in 1993-94 to 55 in 1997-98 due to declines in gross-added vol· umes, current serials and the num - ber of professional and support staff as a result of budgetary constraints. Before this y~r. von Wahl de e"plained, the libraries could position themselves as one of the top 50 collections and information service ar- eas in No nh America, a descriptio n that she says n o w is "cl ea rl y a stretch." She reminded the FSEC that neither the SUNY Board of Trustees no r the state legi slature recom mended inflationary increases for the SUNY li braries in thi s year's budget. Furtherm o re, she added , nothing wa s d o ne mt e rna ll y to counter the defi ciency. "Since the vario us catl-gon es of research materials we purchase in creased in average price fro m hetween 6 to 10 percent, tht: absence o f thi s i ncrea se decrea sed o ur spending po wer by an estimated $500,000, or nearly I0 percent." in addition, she noted, UB im posed a baM cut o($232,000, to "fur· ther and permanently" erOOe the l.i braries' budget. "We ho pe there will be an infla tionary increase next year in the SUNY budget, but that is yet to be determined," she added ...

Gardella, Jr., professor of class is analyzing air and chemist ry and the instructor of soil samples in South Chemistry 470, "Analytical Chern · istry of Pollutants." Gardella will speak tonight at a public meeting to which he and his Buffalo's Hickory Woods subdivi- sion, a former stttl company site, says he hopes that the university's efforts can help bridge the communication gap dividing the commu- nity from the government and regulatory agencies in charge of investi - gating the site. Descrtbed as "another Love Ca nal" by activist Lois Gibbs, who visited Hickory Woods earlier th is month, the subdivision consists of about 60 city-subsidized homes that were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Construction of new homes was stopped in the late 1990s when developers found industrial wastes in the soil and sampl ing revealed high rates of carcinogenic contami nation. Since then, residents have complained of severe birth defects in children conceived and born to resident famili t~. and of a high incidence of cancer. The issue' ra ist•d at Hid.;,or y students were invited by officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Hickory Woods residents. The meeting will focus on the EPA's soil sampling plan for the neighborhood, scheduled to begin in April. With funding from UB's Environment and Society Institute, Gardella has for several years been working with students, communities., corporations and local government on public service projects that combine environmental analysis with strong efforts aimed at dearly and accu rately communicating the result s to residen ts. "The model of commumcatio n and community input that Wt> have developed shows how commun ities can get a handle on their environments. draw attention to potential environmental problems or get background data to help answer some of their questions ,'' said Gardella. "'When we are invi ted by a commu nity to come in, we ask what their concerns are, and then we design an analytical chemistry project that ad dresses those concerns that also can be completed in a semester." He added, however, that once stu dents start working o n o ne of these projects, they often continu e int o the summer, past the time when the course is complete. "They do it because they get so involved and so motivatl-d by their interactions with the co mmunity," he said. eca -Babcock restdents. " Erie County had actually gtven the company a certificate fo r lowering its organic chemistry emissions." said Gardella, "but the company had no way to demonstrate to residents that they actually had." After extensive meetings held last year with local residents and with officials at Buffalo Color, GardeUa du~tri a llandfill . and hts student -chemists distributed to residents badges With senso rs to detect co ntaminants m the air. alo ng with instructi ons about when and how to wear them . \'\'hen the badges were returned to students and analyzed, no ne of the targeted contaminants were detected. "The resident's knew they had not been exposed because they collecteJ the data themselves," Gardella sa1d.

My years as a prosecutor of corruption crimes raught me that it is always difficult to convict police officers, judges and lawyers. Perhaps it has something ta do with the jury feeling invested in those groups as a line between lawful behavior and the fear ofunbridled lawlessness. Part of it may also be a misUlfurmed fear that crime is ram panl I call it misinformed because there is reason to believe that crime is actually de=asing. but we hear so much about particular crimes that much of society may have the impression that crime is on the rise.

Obesity-gum diseas~ link found BY LOtS 11A1W1 News Services Editor ESEARCHERS from the School of Dental Medicine~ found that obesity is significantly related to periodontal disease through the pathway of insulin resistance. Using data from the Third NationaJ Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES Ill), they have shown that overweight people with the highest levels of insulin r~i s­ tance were 50 percent more likely to R have severe periodontal disease, co mpared to overweight people with low insulin resistance • Results of the study will be pre- sented April 8 at the annual meeting of the International Association for Dental Research, being held in Washington, D,C. "This study suggests yet another way bacteria in the mouth are substantial sources of systemic chal- rates among American adults, juveniles and children.

Obesity is increasing at alarming weight people with an insulin-resistance index in the top quartile were nearly 50 percent more likely to have severe periodontal disease, com- pared to those with a high BMI and low insulin resistance. ..Acute infections cause metabolic disturbances and periodontal disease is one of humankind's most common chronic infections," Grossi said. "In this case, we think bacteria from gum disease may interfere with fat metabolism, leading to elevated LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol This has been shown in small case-control · studies and animal studies. " Now we see a relation - ship between obesity, insulin resistance and periodontal disease in a large, population-based cohon. This relationship is significant bectuse obesity is an im- portant risk factor for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It is possible that periodontal disease contributes to increased mor bidit y in overweight or obese individuals. "Physicians once thought that the damage from periodontaJ infection was limited to the teeth and gums. We now know that oraJ health must be watched much more closely." Grossi said molecular biology studies are needed to unravel the actual mechanism and biological basis of the obesity-periodontal disease relationship. Alex W.

Few of us, however-when we leave our homes to go to work, the grocery store or school-expect to be involved in a motor-vebideaccident that will change the rourse of our lives in an instant. . 5o says Gayle Beck, a professor of psychology at UB who has been evaluating and treating victims of motor-vehide accidents for several years. Beck, whose area of expertise people have been assessed through the clinic and, of those, 25 have been offered treatment, she added. While both physical and psychological implications follow a crash, explains Beck, her primary focus is treatiog individuals who, after a severe crash, develop post-traumatic stress disorckr.

The treatment, which originally began as one-on·one, now is a small-group format ofbetween four and six individuals in an effort to be more responsive to treatment needs, Beck says. While the program has been immensely helpful to the participants. Beck points out that symptoms of PTSD can diminish quickly for some, but persist at length for others, who may need additional psychiatric treatmenL For llecli, the most important aspect of the program is its unique service. Often, she says. victims are referred by a physician to a chiro· praetor, massage therapist or physi · cal therapist without taking into ac· count an accident victim's mental health following a crash. .. We've heard numerous stories from some of our folks who say. ' You 're the first person who understands this.' .. she says. "People often feel very alone and fed a sense of shame or embarrass· men! about the (act that they're not coping bcner," she says. Beck says she is delighted to be able to offer treatment to accident victims who a re struggling with their trauma. ''Theft' aren't too many services in this area that are designed to address PTSD specifically in people who havr been in car crashes," she says...

Without spiritual rontent and without a contribution to a deeper understanding of our be- ing, he says, there can be no significance in anybuilding. lt is what Eliot would call the "lucid stillness" of Libeskind's work that produces a Karlsruhe, Gennany; Louis Kahn Professor at Yale University and the Cret Chair at the University of Pennsylva · nia.

But in the late 1990s, during construction of a new home in the subdivision, developers discovered black coke wastes, refractory bricks and an oozing black substance in the so il. Sampling revealed levels of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, a carcinogen resulting from steel manufacturing-someashigh as 100,000 parts per million , when the allowable federal and state guideline is 15 ppm. Development stopped and some families were temporarily relocated. Homeowners were not informed about the contamination at the site before they purchased their homes. Now, with soil sampling beginning by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), residents will begin to have more information. But , according to Rick Ammerman, head of the Hickory Woods Concerned Homeowners Association, the residents do not be-lieve that the results obtained by government agencies a~ the last technical literature, the students also are onnducting analyses of the air by having at least SO residents wear badges that detect contaminants in the air. After wearing the badges for eight hours, the residents will give them to the students, who will take them back to UB to analyze find- · ings. "We are looking to plug the holes in this whole process in order to have a mo~ complete investigation of the area," said Ammerman. " sign "There. does seem - , - - , - - - - - - , to be a hole in the system, and UB's Environ ment and Society Institute is is coming in and, hopefully, bridging that gap." In particular, he said, the data the students get from the badges will help them understand if the contamination poses any kinds of long-term health hazards. Since January, Gardella and the I 0 students, mostly senior chemistry and environmental-studies majors, In addition to helping the have been working with the the homeowners ~\crpret much of the Hickory Woods Concerned word. That's where the UB chemistry project comes in. "The Hickory Woods development was fund ed by federal and state dolliirs and administered by the City of Buffalo," said Ammerman, "so there is a mistrust, and a fo unded mistrust, on the part of residents of any function of government. Wheo we're asked to believe something from government, we want to have some kind of check on them Q-om someone who is completely disassociated from this. That is what we are getting from Gardella and his students at us.· Homeowners Association to: • Conduct chemical analyses designed in partnership with residents of 1 =..":""' .,._... residents' the -.. In • Coordinate with other Enviand Society Institute Outreach services, such as health assessment studies • Interpret for and with residents the results of environmental sampling and testing done by other agencies and parties. With the ESI's support, Gardella said the long-term goal of all of these projects is to establish at UB, as a public service, the analytical capabilities to conduct communitybased research and environmental analysis in accordance with EPA:s standard methodologies. ronq~e nt �llard130.21Dl/VI.31.1o.25 Reparlaa" Ubraries ~ .... ,...1 sion that has informed and structured our efforts bas already been threatened and would =tainJy be negated by a multi-year re-a>actment of either this year's budget process or allocation outcome." von Wahlde said that the libraries ha"" fewer scientific, technical and medical serials than in recent yean and that the ones they do ferring to Web-generated graphs of ASL ranking.< in different areas.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Such systems involve mul tiple disciplines, such as structures. control and aerodynamics. Last spring, the Third World Con· gress of Structural and ¥ulti-disci· plinary Optimization, the field 's major international cOnference, was held at and co-sponsored by UB. the first time it was held in the United States.

"Community police officen are trained to meet with the groups they serve to define problems, develop strategies to maintain a safecnvironment and conduct special programs." explained Grela, noting that Public Safety presents more than 300 programs a year including selfdefense workshops and oeminan on rape prevention and alcohol and drug awareness.

American Council of l.nmed Societies (ACI..S). The ACI..S Burkhardt program is a new one, funded by the Mellon Foundation, to assist tcnu..d scholan engaged in long-term, unusually ambitious interdisciplinary projects in the humanities and related social sciences. l<eirstead will work on a long-term study of Japan's "medieval" period to suggest how a society may produ ce and consume its own historical past, regardless ofil3litcral acruracy. The fellowship will support an academic year of residence at any one of nine national research centers and will ..quire additional institutional suppo n from US. Keirstead will begin his residency at the National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, in September. Kcirstead points out that it wasn't un til the 19th century, shortly after they came in contact with the West, that the Japanese began to conceptualize their culture as having a medieval period. "The remarkable thing," he says, " is that this ' foreign' idea took hold rapidly and without resistance. O ne of my chief aims in this study is to figure out why this was the case.• Not only did the Japanese assert that their Middle Ages we.. synchronous with Europe's own, roughly from the years 1100 to 1500, says Keirstead, but, as in Europe, they heavily gendered the period as male. "That is to say, the qualities and values linked to the Middle Ages in both the European and the Japanese imagination are those traditionally attributed to men. Physical courage, honor, strength and loyalty are t he q u a liti es celeb ra ted in t he period's heroes: knights and kings who became romantic, mythical andevensaintlyfiguresinthepopular imagination.• Wbydid this happen? Keirstead points out that to 18th- and 19thcentury Europeans. the Middle Ages not only described a period in their own historical past, but came to be considered by them a necessary transformativt period in the dcvelopmeot of any nation. It may have been to japan's benc:fit, then, to 'reimagjne' a japanese history mo"' in !iDe with that of the Eu ropeans with whom they were then engaged, says kirstcad. For if the European mind oould not con crive of a "real" nation that had no m edieval era, then japan would need such a historical era if it was to be ,._ garded as a "real" nat ion in European parlan ce. Fu rt hermore, that period as d escribed by the Jap anese would be even more like the Eu ropean Middle Ages if it was rife with ' manly virtue. "Consider as well." he .says, "that Europeans writing in the 18th and 19th centuries .tended to feminize Asian cultures and to characteriu them as physically weak, passive, decorative, soft and loathe to fight Given the respect paid to 'masculine' socid:ies vis a vis 'feminine' so-cieties by the powerful Europeans. japan may have had a powerful in- this historical period to work throush or think about oontem porary problems," he says. "Eigh teenth - and 19th-century Japanese writers, for instance, produced many historical romances set in the period between 1000and 1500. One common practiCl' was to disguise political criticisms of the current ..g;me by hiding it in stories set in the medieval period. "Then, in the 19th century, when Japanese h.istorians began to describe this era in earnest, they made new use of its stock of medieval characters, reinvented as natio nal heroes, to draw lessons about japan as a nation and to sell them to tht' public," l<einstead says. He says later historians, novelists, and 6lnunakers have made different uses of this period. In the 1920s and '30s, for example, "medieval )a- pan" became a resource for asserting the uniqueness of japanese cul ttm and contesting the validity of Western ideas. After World War II, he says a "new" medieval Japan was fo rmulated, one that asserted the nonnalcy of japan's histOrical foundati ons. "Ftnally; says Keirstead.

That 's th e thinking of researchers in the Ce nter for Computational Research (CCR), who received a $ 139,680 equ ipm ent donation that will speed up procc) sor communications nearly 100-fold . Myri co m, In c. has donated leadi ng-edge Myrinet interfaces and switches th at have been integrated int o the CCR dual -boo t LinuxJ Sola ris Sun Microsystems cluster. Russ Miller, d irecto r o f CCR and professor of comp uter science and engineering, called the duster "uniquc in the field of scientific research" and said it will prOvide "a cost-effective advantage for CCR users." With thi s additional networking equipment, CCR bolsters its pla ce amo ng the eli te supercomputing sites arou nd the world that a re u) ing duster-computin g systems fo r pioneering research. Clusters p rovide an economical way of achieving high perfo rmance by dist ribut ing demanding computations across an array of commod it y computers. Miller sa id Myrinet is a packet -communication and switching technology that is widelr used to inte rconnect clusters nf workstations, PCs or single -board computers. The Myrinet hardware also is capable of detecting and isola ting communication faults. and can automatically switch to alternative com munication paths. Myrinet co mponents are used by more than l.OOO resea rch cen ters a ro und the world , including ma ny govern ment agen c1c) and un ive rsities, to link not only computers in clusters. but ah.o com puters in local area networks on ca mpus. Miller believes this new networking technology will allow CCR to grea tly expand its capacity, allowing 11 to provide more computing cycles at lower cost to the UB and Western New York research co m munities. Acco rding to Miller, fewer than 10 universities in the U.S have th e capabi lities of providing high -performance co mputin g cycles as powerfDI as those available in CCR. .. Faculty members from 40 research groups , cove ring 18 different departments at the university, are usi ng CC R facilities. Students tak · ing CCR's graduate-level courses in high -performance co m puting are using the duster, along with researchers in chemistry, chemica l engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engin eering. In addi tion , the university has worked with such local research institutions as Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Hauptman -Woodward Medi cal Research institute, as well as such local companies as Occidental ·Chemical, Praxair and M&T Bank. �' . 61 Rap a rleJr Ilardi 23, 211111/Vol.31, lo.Z4 UB represents U.S. In Montreal festival, while Belgian theater company performs here TRANSITION S Moving Up ·lAcE presents theater here and abroad Philp L Gldl, pmlouor of surgery, podiolrb ll1d -.tal By PATRICIA DONOVAN gynecology, .. - - of pediolric ugory In lho Ul De- HE performam:e arts at UB will tal<e on a decid · edly international flavor n<XI month, thanks to the dforts of the D<partment of Theatre piltlnent oj Surgoly• . . . _ . in<hielat Chldren~ Hoopbl ond clrociDr of the De~of-5o.ogicll s.McesatKaleldojeUIQ Tharpe.'"'"'~ writer/-. t o - o f ampolgn communicMians -c. c.--."""'- tant-ofcorpoqteand - - . ..

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Susan Hamlen, chair of the BPC and associate professor ofaaounting and law, presented the report, explaining that the committee's intention was to d.....Jop a factual account of the major budget issues, including how the deficit occurred, how it is being managed, its impact on the coUege and the panel's recommendatiOns. Triggle before it was released to the university community. "It is increasingly important that thefuculty unOO.tand what the budget process is and to get the faculty and administration together talking in a productive way about these issues," said Hamlen. "Although the statement focuses on CAS, its general recommendations apply to aU units," she added. The universitfs new "all funds" budget strategy calls for units to align expe nditu ~ with their own available revenues, whether th ey com e from tax support, tuition . sponsored research, endowments o r other sources. Hamlen cited two ma}or recommendations. The first, she said, is that some process be put into place to measu re consequences and to evaluate the costs and benefits of budget decisions. Secondly, she said, "we fee) it is extremely important that (CAS) faculty be very much involved in the decision -making process." The repon states that "the process of se tting priorities, growing rev enues and managing costs will not succeed without the suppon of the major players -the facult y and staff"'-and urges "all deans to encourage (their) invotvement." According to the repon . the CAS·s st;ne-budget appropriation officially stands at about S45.8 million for the current fiscal year, but $2.5 million of that total is unavailab\e due to accumulatrrl prior shortfalls. In addition, CAS this ~ rect"ived a permanent base reduction of about $2.2 million , while its expenditures in creased by nearly $3.4 million from 1997-99. The report states that "unless decisive measures were taken, the cumulative effect would have been a sho rtfall of mo re than $4.8 million by the end of the current ye.lr and would have grown each year until the budget was (balanced)." The reason that expenditures rose so rapidly between 1997 and 1999, accord in g to the repon , is due to ~tWwed_,....7 Assessment of faculty IT needs urged lly MAliA McCOINNIS Rq>orttr Assistant Editor A N assessment that would evaluate the degree to which the university's computing-and-information-technology structures, ex- penditures, priorities and support are meeting faculty needs was proposed in a resolution presented Tuesday to the Faculty Senate. The resolution, presented by Robert Straubinger, associate professor of pbarmaceutics and a member of the Faculty Senate Computer Services Committee, addresses faculty concerns about what it calls the university's lack of assessment on inforrnation ~ t echno logy expenditures. priorities and delivery of sup- pon meet the needsofitsend users, particularly faculty" and specifically, the degree to which the "decentralized administrative structure for computing and information tcrh nology" supports the needs of fac ulty.lt also calls for the administration to institute a plan to make regu lar assessments in the future. U:We need lo get some sense of the degree to which faculty needs are being met. The resolution really attempts to address that ," said Straubinger. " It describes (briefly) the many points in which informa- tion technology touches o n th e implementing information technology, particularly its effects on facul ty responsibilities, including teaching. teaching and learning proca.s, and basically it requests a review of the information- technology delivery as research , administratio n and se r- it meets faculty needs." Straubinger noted that earlier drafts of the resolution called for the vice. _ It calls for the administration and the Faculty Senate to jointly perform the assessment by forming a task force that would determine "the degrtt to which the computing-and- possibility of h;JVing the evaluatio n done by an outside consul ting firm, but after that issue was debated at a recent mectingpfthe senate's execu- tive committee, the co mputing committee decided to eliminate it from the final version. The highest prio rity during the assessment, Straubinger explained. would be to look at the function of the nodes because "they are a pri mary source of delivery of informa tio n -technology resou rces to the faculty" and then to m ove- on to other issues of part icular importance to the faculty. "The reason for concentrating on the nodes is because this is a new administrative structure with a track reco rd of a co upl e yea rs," said Straubingcr. "There seem s to be a wide range of services provided by different nodes. i'li-ere seems to be very different philosophies of how nodes see their m ission and a wide range of faculty involvement. It may be a considerable difficulty for fuculty if their needs do not match the priorities or delivery of the nodes," he added. A5 fo r how the assessment would be conducted, Straubinger ex · plained that the evaluation instru ment itself is something that would require considerable discussion. .. Probably o ne o f the simplest things to do initially is to poU node directors and poU a selection of fac - ulty," he said. "We were purposely vague on the instrument to be used. Asurvey probably would be the plaa: to stan and I think node directors should be surveyed for their ideas and on how they run their nodes." In response to a faculty concern about the amount of spending on IT, Straubinger said that was not a co nsideration of the comm itt ee when drafting the resolution. "The biggest problem the committee had is really trying to be.,i:nvo lved in the decision-making process at all. De· cis ions are being made all of the timt> that affect us and it was felt that we needed to evaluate the rt.""Suhs of the decision- making process. i.e .. the delivery of information ttthnology. and whether it's meeting needs, rather than focusin g upstream on the so urces." �-A Tho Center for "'"Arts ... pn!S«1t "My Lord Momif)g ••.Tho _ . . . . . . . . , Sto<y" It 111.m. ond 2 p.m. Sltufdoy In "'" Moinsllgo atre on lho Nol1h Campus.

And the conditions of f>oy.rty are different. You have som< people who have been welfure J'<cipi· ents over a period of~- We have people who have been gainfully employed and then found themselves unemployed at some point. We have people who are underemployed and although theyareworkingeveryday, they're still not making enough money to make ends meet. Academic disadvantagedness suggests that people may not have completed high school and they're here to get aGED. It could mean that someone is here because they don't haY!: English-language proficiency to render them competitive in the academic arena or the work world and they need ESL (English as a second language) train· in g. It could mean someone who has graduated from high school but is il· literate. Or someone who has been out of school for a number of )'t'<m and has been bit by the "education bug." They want to return to coUege but the gap has been too wide, so they need a tittle introduction before they actually jump into the colleg~ arena. Wh•t progr•m s are offered? Besides the- programs I've already mentioned-the GED, lireracy, ESL and college prq>-we also have a collection of vocational and jobtraining programs. These programs change because the demands change, markets change,mnstiruencies changes, the desiled skills sets change. At one time there were about 2 I different training programs; now we have about I2. But they' re designed very differently now because we do a lot of employer-specific training. For example, call centen are popping up all over the place with a very specific need. They want potential job appticants who have four or five dif. ferent kinds of skill sets and they say to us, "If you can provide this for us, train people to be eligible for employment with us, we can develop an artirulation and work with you." We do those kinds of things more and more now. A few of our programs come from grants, others are a fixed part of the curriculum, such as the business-office skills program, graphics and arts program and the altied health component. Wh•t sets EOC •fNrt from other Job-tr•lnlng centen 7 1 What makes us unique is the,..;, that we not only bring the appropriate skiU sets as professionals to the envi· rorunent;.we know,what we'redoing and we do it wdl.

The researchers identified potcn· tiaJ fault lin es using remote sensing by satellite and low-flying planes. They then employed field methods, Jacobi. If the data are confirmed by fur· ther analysis, most importantly by seismographs Jacobi and Fountain plan to install in various locations around Western New York, they will di rectly refute what long has been 1 as well as magnetic fields and grav · ity measurements, to de1ermine if those potential fauh Jines are .indeed the convcn tionaJ geologic wisdom about upstate New York.

To help short-circUit this process in the field ofearly-childhood math, the Graduate School of Education will present a national conference May 14-1 7 in which a wide range of involved parties and decisionmakers will examine theoretial and field re· search on preschool math teaching and learning. and recommend cur· riculumsand methods proven to fa . cilitatc academic success in chil dren-parti cularly low-income children-at increase d risk of school failure.

But over time, he said, it was deemed that the butts on the ground were more obtrusive than the smoker.; standing there and facilities personnel were instructed to reinstall the butt stops upon request. William Baumer, professo r of philosophy, said that people who smoke will gu to the nearest most comfortable place to do it "We cannot expect Public Safety or (Occu pational and Environmental Safety Services) to enforce this rule.

Counseling Cen1h offers signs that students may be under dangerous stress levels To members of the campus community: Students typically encounter a great deal of stress-academic, living arrangement, family, work. financialduring the course ofan academic year. For some, the pressures become overwhelming and feel unmanageable. The purpose of this letter is to help you identify both the less-obvious and the more-dramatic signs of emotional distress and to suggest how you might be of assistance to students. Among the signs of more serious distress arc: • Actual self-harming-<utting; taking an overdose of a medication, drug, or toxic chemical • Attempting to harm one's self-.climbing out onto a window ledge or the roof • Talking to others about killing one's self • Leaving a suicide note • Aggressiveness in dealing with the environment-slamming doors violently, using one's fist to break a window or hit ~ls , throwing and/ or breaking furniture • Aggressiveness toward othe~ screaming, threatening, insulting, actual physical attack These signs of serious d.istress should be reported to the University Police (ext. 2222) without delay in order to ensure the individual's safety. If the student resides in the residence halls, his/her hall director or the Office of Residence Life (6452 I71 ) also should be notified. Some less-obvious behaviors that may function as signals that a student may be feeling more anxious or depressed than usual are: • Social participation. The person either becomes significantly more dependent on your time and attention or withdraws from usual participation and becom" relatively sociaUy isolated. · • Appearance. A usually neat person becomes careless in terms of hygiene and/or dress. • Class attendance. The person either becomes significantly inconsistent or stops attending ·classes. • Enei'gy-unusual fatigue or inexplicable bursts of activity that may or may not be productive • Mood-unusually irritable, mtless, sad • AkohoVsubstance use. An occasional drinker or user-eigages in the activity with significantly greater frequency, and/or the amount consumed per usage increases significantly. 8 Extreme weight loss or gain You can be of assistance by encouraging the person to contact one of the foUowing services: • Counseling Center, 120 Ri<hmond, Ellicott Co mplex (6452720). To schedule an appointment, phone or walk in weekdays from 8:30a.m. to 5 p.m. Services are free, voluntary and confidential. • Crisis Services, Inc. (834-3131). An off-campus, 24-hour telephone hotline; if necessary and appropri· ate, Crisis Services' Emergency-Outreach Unit can come to campus for evaluation of risk to self or others. • The Of!ie< ofAcademic Advisement. Academic deans and other offices provide assist~ce for academically related problems. Their names and numbers can be found in the university directory. If you have any questions or concerns about someone, call the Counseling Center at 645-2720 and consult with the counselor-on-duty. It is better to obtain assurance that a perceiV~ problem is not serious than not to call at all.

While 57 full-time tenure-track faculty members were hired during this three-year period, 65 tenured faculty members left the university, many through retirem ent, which created a problem since additional outlays are required for ret:itement incentives and many rrtirees are rehired on a short -term basis to teach one or more courses.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

EOC program to move to Seneca St. Maving closer to ECC City Campus to facilitate relationship between entities ., suE WUETOtU RtpOittr EditOr T HE Educational Opportunity Center-us•s moot vistble program in downtown Buffalohopes to move from its present location at 465 Washington St. to offices in the forme"r Empire of America Realty Credit Corp. building at I00 Seneca St., adjacent to the Erie Community CoUege City Campus, by early faU. • EOC Director Sherry) Weems said the center is negotiating to lease the first four Boors, as weU as some space in the basement, of the fivestory building at Seneca and Oak streets, near Dunn Tire Park. The ~cGuire Group otcupies the top Boor of the building. Mary Gresham, vice president for public service and urban affairs, noted that moving EOC doser to the determined five years ago that the Washington Street buildingowned by the UB Foundation, lnc.-"in its current form was not sufficienf" to accommodate EOC's projected growth and direction. .. ft was a priority of ours to redefine ourselves, and in doing so to try to find some new space," she said, noting that EOC is fOCU5ing more of its attention on job retention, as well as job training and college preparation. The UBF conduded a feasibi~ty study to determine if EOC's needs could be met with a major renova- tion of the Washington Street building. The goal, Weems said, was to acquire A-Class office space. " It's just time," she noted, point ing to the poor condition of the building where EOC has resided for 30 years. But the UBF study found that the citycampusofECC~elpstoexpand cost to renovate the Washington the range of educational opportunities for adults af1!l other working professionals in downtown Buffalo." Weems said EOC administrators Street building to meet EOC's specifications would be "outrageous. We could move at lesscost,"Weemssaid. So EOC began "a n aggressive campaign" to look for other space. The criteria were simple: at least 67,000 square feet- the size of the Wu.hinston Street building-in a building locared wilhin a four-block radius of Lafayette Square, the hean of downtown Buffalo. Weems said she seriously looked at "no less than eight or nine properties" over the past four years before finding 100 Seneca St. The new facilities will afford EOC "lots of opponunity for growth and further development, and will help so~dify the relationship between the Erie Comm unity College campus and the Educational Opportunity Center," she said. She noted that two yea rs ago, EOC revisited articulation discussions with ECC to case the movement of studeots from EOC to ECC. The new facilities also will so~difi· the relationship between ECC and UB, "beca use the (ed ucational) pipeline continues from the point of ent"ry ( EOC or ECC) to point of exit, which we would hope would be the undergraduate degree and possibly professional and graduate study," she added. "We're very ex· cired about being a part of that pipeline and its development." Added Gresham: "lncneased program articulation will facmtate a smooth flow frorri EOC to other post-secondary institutions in the region." Weems pointed out that the new site will offer EOC the opponunity to enhance technology and ..enable our furulty and staff to think differently about our programs. offerings and even constituency." EOC provid~ educational JOb training, college preparatjon and related suppo rt services to "economically disenfranchised and aca - demically disadvantaged" populations of Western New York. Thousands of individuals have received GEDs, entered coUege and secured employment through EOC. Weems said plaru to renovate the Seneca Street building already have been dev.loped, and she is confident that the lease will be signed and construction com pleted by early fall.

Lalo- -~ Mlly-!pno Owildnellldol F you want to get the attention of parents ~lth young children, just tell ihem that scientists are making significant strides toward developing a vaccine to prevent recurrent ear infections. A leader in this endeavor is Timo· thy F. Murphy, professor of medi· cine and microbiology, whose re· search is currently funded by a fiveyear, S I million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NTH ). The vaccine Murphy is developing targets a bacteria called nontypeable Haemophilw injluenzae (NTH! ), which not only is the second most I common cause of ear infections (oti- tis media) in children, but also is a leading cause of recurrent infections in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonarydisease,or COPD.A vacci ne against NTHI is especially promising because it would be effec · tive in both populations of patients. "Otitis media and COPD are enormous national health prOblems in terms of human suffering and cost," says Murphy, whose work in this area has been funded by the NIH since 1983. "About 80 percent of children hav< a least one episode of otitis media by age three, and it is the most common reason for visits to pediatricians. Recurrent otitis media is painful and because it impair> hearing. it is associated with delays in speech and languagedevdoprnent, as well as with learning problems in children as they reach school age." Murphy adds that COPD, which includeschronicbroncbitisandernphyserna, is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, with infections being the most common single identifiable cause of these deaths. In order for a vaccine to be effective against recurrtnt ear infections, it must work ~thin the first months of a child's life, according to Murphy. This is because if a child's throat becomes colonized with NTH! during his first year of lif~ in the absence of an ear infection-he may then be prone to ear infectio.ns througbo~ childhood.

Until now, the proposed designs have been available only as blueprints. But thanks to a partnership between CCR, IBC Digital and the Vi rtual Realiry Lab in the UB Department of Mechanical and Aero- space Engineering. observers can "walk through" or"Oy through" virtual -reality representations of each of the proposed bridge and toU plaza designs. Sophisticated animations of the bridge designs were showcased in a Residence halls participate in newspaper-readership program video produced by IBC Digital during a presentation Tuesday by the BinationaJ Team'to the Public Consensus Review Panel and members of th e public in the studios of WNED-TV The modds now are available to the public review organization and the public in an immersivc threedimensional environment in CCR, located in Norton Hall o n the No rth Campus. Stills and video are available on the CCR and IBC Web sites. This is a critical step, not onJy for those involved in the decision-making process, but fo r any Western New Yo rker interested in the o utcome of the Peace Bridge debate, said Ben Porcari, president of IBC Digital. " It's very hard to make a $350million decision based on line draw· ings or blueprin ts," he said ...You do n't get a sense of scale or of how the bridge fits into the surrounding landscape. " In vinual reality, on the other hand, you literally will be able to stand in Front Park. look o ut over the vista and see the bridge. Com pare that to staring at a blueprint." Russ Miller, CC R directo r and professor of computer science, said CCR "is thrilled to be able to provide statewof- the -a rt technology and expertise to the community. We hope that by presenting the designs in an immersive environ ment , people will be able to gain additional insight into the project. The combination of IBC Digital's animation capabilities. UB's Vinual Reality Lab expertise and the re· squrces available in CC R provides an cxceiJent example of th e synergism that is possible when a New York State university and the pri vate sector cooperate on an issue that is important both to the pub lic and government." According to Po rcar i. seei ng is believing. "When you fina ll y see some of these options three dimensionall y. using the computer, it's very strik ing," he said.

The theory of predictable cam· paigns developed by James E. Campbell, professor of political sci· ence, is based a decade of research on 130 years of electoral history and the history of public-opinion polling in elections over the past 50 years. Results of the research by Campbell is the topic of his new book, "The American Campaign: U.S. Presidential Campaigns and the National Vote," published recently by Texas A&M University Press. In another related book that also was published this year, " Before the Vote: Forecasting National Electi o ns" (Sage Publications ) , Campbell and co-eclitor )ames C. Garand invited seven political sci· enlists who had developed models fo r forecasting the results of presi· dential elections to revisit their fore· aJndul:t . . . . . ......... casts of the 1996 election and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . let present contingent forecasts for this year's general election. 1 The scientists' 1996 forecasts had been published in the journal Am<rican Po~ti<:s Quamrly in Oc· tober of that year. "It was a risky proposal because predictin,g apything from the weather to the stock market always involves a degree of uncertainty," Campbell points out. "But several election-forecasting ,.,_~ models ha.. had a good track record in recent years aoci 1996 was no ex· ceptioh," he says. As a group, Campbell observes, the forecasts of the 1996 presiden· tiaJ election made two to three months before the election were more accurate than the final polls conducted right before the election. and unpredictable twisu and turns The average error in the 1996 of the campaign, such as the inspi· forecasts was just a bit more than rational~theregrettablegaJfe nro percentage poinu. or the brilliant strategic 111"""Michad Lewis-Beck of the Uni· However, the effects of cam· ..rsity of Iowa and Olarles Tien of paigns. he· says, are larger than poHunter College were right on tar· liticalscientists.thinkandm<>re~. get, predicting Clinton's share ofthe dictable than joumalists ~ vote within one· tenth of a percent· Campbellsaysthedf<clsofcam· age point. . paigns are predictable becauK their Doestheaccuracyoftheforecasts impact takes plaa berween a large madebeforethefallcampaignmean group of solid Democratic voters thatthecampaigohasnoimpacton and a large group of solid Rtpubli· the election? can voters who have decided well before the election for whom they'll cast their ballots. Campaigns are about winning over those in th e middle-those voters who are affected by their initial impreSsions of the major party candidates, their at· tachmeot to a political party, the state of the elec· tion-year economy and "Not so," says CampbelL The reason that presidential elec· tions can be forecast so aa:urately, heexplainsin"TheAmerianCam· paign," is that the dfccts ofpresideD· tial g<neral-dection campaigns are largdy predictable. "Journalists and political scien· lists tend to.ha.. diffqmt .miscon· ceptions of the role campaigns play in the outa>me of presidential eJec. tions," he notes. "Political scientists tend to look at campaigns as rituals or spectacles that have minimal effects on the outcome of presidential elections," he points out. Journalists beli""" that election results rum on the unforeseeable whether or not an incumbent is running. Campbell says he was struck by the fact that aJ. though lhe accurate forecasting models all dillmd in what they used to predict elections, most had . three things in common: "A measure of the public's opinion of ihe candidates going into the campaign, economic growth during the election year and incumbency." The candidate ahead in lhe polls after the patties' con..ntions nsU· ally wins the election, but with a much smaller margin than that shown in the polls at the campaign's beginning. Once the voters know the candi· date match-up, many reach a quick verdict. But the intense competition of the fall campaign also tends to narrow the front·runner'slead In his res<arcb, eampbell found one of the most important reasonS for this "narrowing effect" is that the trailing candidate in the pre-cam· paign polls often starts the cam· paign with somedisarnywithin the party but that many party m<:rnben drift bock to that candidate OYe2' the, coune of the campaign. He also found that the campaign tilts toward a certain candidate de· pending on how well the economy is doing in election year and whether an iDcwnbent is I'I1I1Ding. "If the economy is stmog and an incumbent is I'I1I1Ding. voter> evalu· ate information with a tilt toward re-decting the candidate of the party currently in the White House." Campbell says i(s too early tp tell who the next president will be with· out an incumbent in the race and with both parties nearly equal in their nwnben of identifiers. "I would anticipate a particularly dose contest," he believes. It will all depend on how thevot· ers between now and August evalu· ate the Democratic and Republican candidates, how amicably the Bush· McCain and Gore-Bndkyprimary fights are settled and how the economy does l'n the next few months. "Fights within a party for the nomination are part of democracy, but they don't bode well for enter· ing the fall campaign," he sajs. Both parties this year ha.. had bruising internal battles--tM Re· publican battle with the McCain phenomenon is especially interest· ing.headds. And the election maywdl depend on how well and quickly Republi· cans can regroup ifter they choose their nominee. "On· the one hand,~ ·Campbell notes, "the Rq>ublican battle is fi<n:r bu~ on lhe other, Republicans ha.. been out of the White' House for eight years and maypuliiO!I'ther in the end" He says it's possible that McCain's showing among independents and Democrats may spell as much trouble for AI Gore as it does for George w.

A brain aneurysm is a blood-filled, balloon-like structure that forms at a weak spot in the vessel caused by damage to the vessel lining. A ruptured can kill instantaneously, and at the ""'Y least is a meclical erner· geitcy. The larger the aneurysm, the greater the risk of rupture and the poorer the outcome. Because aneurysm size is critical to survival and disability, and be· cause littledefinib.. information ex· ists on what causes an aneurysm to be large or small, researchers set out to assess the relationship between aneurysm siu and facton known to damage the brain's blood vessels. The study group was composed of 298 patients in the placebo· treated group taking pan in a trial ofadrugthoughttodecreasebrain· ceU damage in persons with bleed· ing aneurysms.

While a number of studies have looked at the negative effect5 on children's lives of parents with alcohol or other drug problems, this is one of the few studies that directly examines the relati~nship between a mother's substance abuse and her style of child discipline. "When we looked at mothers' style of punishmen~ women with :doohol and other drug problems were more likdy to be punitive,• said Brenda A. Miller, professor of social work and di=tor of the Center for Research on Urban Social Work Practice, who conducted the study with Nancy j. Smyth, associate dean for academic affairs in the School of~ Work. Pamela Mudar, project staff associate at the Resea.rch Institute on Addictions. also is a co-author. Results of the study were published in the journal of Studies on AlcohoL The research was supported bya$1.4milliongrant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abu~ and Alcoholism. '"There is a lot of talk about children of alcoholic parents, but most of it focuses on a father's problem," said Miller. "There are fewer women in trtatmcotthanmcn,in~but women generally have custody of their childrm." suggesting that more attention needs to be givm to children whose mothers have alcohol or other substance-abuse probl<rm. Thest>ody inttrviewed 170"""""" from Wcswn New York recruited from 1M c!iff=nt sources: alcoholism outpatienttreatment programs, drinkingdriver classes for oonvicted o~­ ers, shelters for batt:ered women, outpatient mental-health trtatmcot programs and a random sample of houscbolds.All theseworn<n baddilldrm between 3 and 17 yoars of age. Participants were divided into th=categories: those who had a past alcohol or drug-abuse problem, those with a current problem and those who never have had a problem. PartiCipants were interviewed using a structured format that included open-ended questions and ..... self-administered questionnaires. Mothers......., asked about their style of punishment, including verbal agg ressio n, such as threats or berating., and moderate physical punishment, such as throwing something at the child or slapping or spanking. The study did not assess any physi<al punishment that could be categorized as child abUS<. Women in the study also were asked about how they would react in hypothetical situations. Mothers were presented with various disciplinary strategies-ranging from doing nothing, to talking to the child, to hitting the child with a belt or a switch-for 10 different situations in which the child misbehaved. Child misbehaviors ranged from not doing something he or she was to do, to stealing something, to hit ting or kiclting. The study showed that mothers with a past or current substance- abUS< problems were liUly to disci pline their children more aggressively than women who had never had a problem, and that current problems were linked more strongly with pbysical punitiveness. Although an obvious goal of the study would be to provide interVentions that would teach mothers how to punish.their children more effectively and appropriately, the end goals of the study are more widereaching because substanu-abUS< problems and styles of discipline "have a way of setting up repUcating patterns," Miller said oewhen we talk about prevention, this is one other place where we can make a difference," she said Mothers' substance-abuse problems tend to be interrwined with other problems, includ ing the women's histories of child abuse, sexual abuse and partner violence. There is evidenu that these 'victimization histories may contribute to their alcohol- and drug-abuse prob·lenis, which, in tum, contribute to the style of punishment they use with their children. And sinu substana abUS< is linked to victimization and violence, it is critical that the interacting chain of evmts be interrupted. MiUer said that while current methods of trtatment for substance abuse focus only on the abuser, she hopes results ofherstudywill encourage broader fonns of intervention. "We're providing direct care of the person with the alcohol problem, not the whole family. I hope this work will help with the recognition that what we do with fa.mily members will have a direct affect on the problems of the future."

Garvey has signed a manufacturing-and-marketing partnership with Neocera, Inc., the world's top supplier of pulsed laser deposition equipmen~ providing the team with automatic access to its market. With the help of this Phase 2 and other SBIR grants, the UB researchers have established a new local company called AMBP Tech--,<hort for Assisted Molecular Beam Process Technologies. Theyanticipateleasing spatt in the UB technology incubator this summer. "We will use the grant and the incubator space to scale up our process to the industry standard and also to ensure our product's compatibility with Neocera's existi ng commercial systems." said Garvey, principal investigator on the SBlR grant "Once we do, our laser ablat·ion source then will be added to Neocera's catalog and will be mar- A keted as part of its product line." In a critical expression of support for the technology, an international leader in computer chips also has signed on as a Poleotial customer and expressed interest in helping to reline the technique. Garvey, who founded AMBP Tech, is commercializing the tech nology wjth IUS research associate, Robert" DeLeon, adjunct associate professor of chemistry. The key ;;dvantage of the UB technique--<alled Laser Assisted Molecular Bea m Deposition (lAMBD}--liesinitsabilitytogenerate thin-6lm ooatings that are produced at temperatures far hotter than the sun's surfau and then dramatically cooled to, or even below, room temperature before being deposited onto the surfaces of sensi- tive electronic devices. By using such extremely high temperatures and then quenching the heat using a rapid expansion proa:ss. the new technique solves one of the morediflicult tasks in computer-<hip fabrication: how to generate the nee- essary chemistry to coat the chips without exposing the surfaa of the devia to extremely high temperatures. which often results in costly computer chip failures. This has been a serious drawback fo r fabricators of expensive chips for research-grade supercomputers. .. Our process overcomes several hurdles facing companies that wish to generate high-speed chips," explained Garvey. "The use of our technique could enable the fabrica tion of a whole new generation of devices." For example, he said, cerium dioxide is an exce.Uent insulator for "silicon-on-insulator" (SOl) appli- cations, which enable high -speed device operation in all kinds of electronic applications. "Such 'silicon-on-insulator' ma - terials would be an enabling technology for the production of much faster computational devices," Garvey explained. "This material is just one of the many types of pure metal oxides that the LAM_BD source is currently capable of generating." The U\MBD source also can generate thin films that can be incorporated into such devic~ as gate dielectrics. which are at the heart of every integrated circu it transistor. In the near future, Garvey explained, the p ush for smaller devices will necessitate the development of thin ner gate dielectrics that are fabri cated from advanced materials other than silicon dioxide. The SBlR grant is being spo nsored by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and administered by Han~o m Air Force Base.

The competition for the Junior Scholars Distinguished Interdisciplinary Lectures is designed to stimulate contemporary intellectual exchange on campus. says William Fische.r. vice provost for fa culty development. Advanced junior faculty members--those wh o have received tenure during the past two years-are most likely to be participating in the newest developments in the disciplines , Fischer says. Lectures will be held once each ~mester, beginning this semester. The win ner in each semester will present a public lecture about the salient debates in his or her field. The lectures will be non -technical in nature, designed to speak informatively across disciplinary boundaries to colleagues ou tside of the speaker's specialty and encourage questions and conversation following the lecture. The lecture competition was conceived by, and will be conducted under the auspices of, the Provost's Junior Faculty Advisory Com mittee, a group of jun ior faculty representatives appointed by thr deans of the College of Art s and Sciences and the professional schools. · Any full -time faculty member who was promoted to tenure in 1997-98 or 1998-99 is eligible. AS 1,000 hono rarium and certificate wiU be prese nted to the winner by the provost at the tim e of the lecture. Eli gible faculty members may se lf-nominate. o r deanl!l ma y prese nt nominations.

Corinne Jorgensen, assistant pro· fesso r of information studies, noted that the problems with junior faculty members may be related to the fact that ihey often teach the larger classes, where it is harder to monitor what is going on in the class. Aa:otding to Samud Schack, professor of mathematics. there is :'a perfectly simple principle: studenls cannot engage in behavior that dis· rupts the learning experience for other students. lbat's iL Your phone ringing interferes with the dass.

"Until now, reliable and highquality videoconferenci ng could only be made av~lab l e over telephone lines. Because so much data has to be transmitted. however, each site requ ired three or fo ur ISDN Lines just to accom!Jlodate the data transfer. BesideS that, installation costs and monthly charges for access and use of the lines adds up rap· idly," she says. Until now, the only viable alternative to the ISDN-linked distancelearning si tes has been videoconferencingoverlntemet I through standard IP without the high quality H .323-conn~on suppon. "JP is cheap and convenien t" says Whi tl ock, ub ut th e Intern et is crowded with millions of users, so IP connections have been much less reliable than ISDN connections. The likelihood of a crash, coupled with poor video quality at the receiving end, has discouraged IP usc." The new videoconfcrencing system employs cheap IP connections over a long-distance line and can use standard classrooms on each c:nd. a cost-savings in itself. And since nearly all university classrooms already have a standard IP port in place, the system holds out the promise of ubiquitous connections through IP interactive videoconferendng.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

With the KeyBank Dance Series, the center has made a place for itself by presenting world-r<:nowned dance companies, such as Paul Taylor, Gus Giordano, JoK Lim6n and Alvin Ailey. We have found that Western New York audiences appreciate this state-of-the-art facility and often comment on the feeling of intimacy and rappon with the artists on stage. The center sees itself as the premiere presenter of dance in this pan of the state. Both the Family Adventure and School Tune Adventure series, sponsored by Target, have anractcd wide, young auditnces 1n our area. in three seasons, lhe center has welcomed over tens of thousands of children and fami hes to high -quality shows we bring 111 for these series.

But the club's purpoSt' of collegiality remains as it continut."!. to welcome colleagues new and old. Established in 1953 as the Faculty Club, UB's premiere social d ub changed its name some I 0 years ago to encourage the membership of others 1n the UB community in ;~d ­ dition to fa culty. Its purpose is to develop a nd promote a sense of community, coUegiali ty. and unity of purpose between aJI facuhy anJ profess ional staff; to provide th t.· oppo rtunit r for social discourse. int•naction, and netwo rking aero~ dcpartmcntaJ and divisionaJ bound arie5, and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information nt"Cessary for improving the welfare ofUB .

According to Jane DiSalvo, ass is· tant to the director for the Interdisciplinary Degree Programs in the Social Sciences and member of the Campus C lub Executive Board. when the name was changed . the d ub's constitution also was changed to allow participation by UH alumni. While .. most faculty clubs are for facuJty only," she adds that US's is speciaJ because it allows for partici pa tion by a much wider population of the university comm unity. DiSalvo, who has been active in the club for nearly 25 yt."aJS, works \\•ith Rosemary Mecca, international scholar adviM'Ir and Campus Club president , to coordinate dub events and activities. Past activities have in cluded a variety of campus evenL~. such as lectures. poetry and book rL-adings, music and athletic events, as well as off~camp us acuvitics such as bus trips to Toronto. However. the btggest and most popular event re mains the club's a nnua l holid ay party, which DiSalvo says is a "gala affair"' and aJone is worth the mem ht.'rsh ip d ues. Other benefits of being a mem ht·r include access to the Campus ( :luh lounge in Goodyear Hall for mt'ctings and socials. complimentary =ptions and preferred seating and/ or tickets to university events. Mem- bers also have the privilege of being able to visit more than 100 clubs in \ more than 30 states and three for· eign countries as part of a reciprocal agreement with the Association of Faculty Clubs International. "We try to honor new members of the uni\lefSity community, as well as those who arc leaving," says bers . .. Membership began to dwindle in the late '70s with the construetion of the Nonh Campus," she says. And as the university grew, so did the need for space on both cam· puscs, which is why the clubhouse moved around Mecca, adding that the dub has hdd In thedub'searlydays.a fuU-time receptions for new deans and hon ~ o rs retirees at its annual holiday receptionist sat outside the clubhouse to welcome members. recalls DiSah'Ot but without someone there to grant access to the facility, the clubhouse sees much less activity. parry. in addition, she says, the dub tries to involve new faculty and pro· fcssionaJ !itaff members by offering them a one -year complimentary m embers hip when they join th e university community. " It 's a nice way to orient people to the univer · sity,.. she adds. Mecca and DiSalvo admit that the clubhouse location on the South Campus is a bit of a deterrent when trying to recruit members, especially given the lack of parking and the fact that so many of UB's faculty and staff work on the North Campus. But they hope that some space in UB's fUNre Alumni House will aJ Iow them a new clubhouse o n the North Campus and positively im - which is something she and Mecca hope will change as they continue to recruit new members. While the location and membership of the Campus Oub have con tinued to change, the membership dues of $20 a year per member haven't changed in nearly 35 years, according to DiSalvo. All of the money coUected from dues pay for membership benefits. including a new scholarship program for mem bers and their dependents.

"To the degree there's a hierarchy." , More specifically, however, Dentan seems committed to shedding light on some of the aspects of American behavior that contribute to an unhealthy culture-in par· ticular, discipline. "Almost the only reason Americans beat kids is for 'disciRline' or ' respect for authority; by which we mean obedience," he says. "Semai don't care about obedience. Obedience is for slaves. " lfyoucan'tpersuade-orco~ a kid into agreeing that they sbould or sbouldo't do something, maybe you just don't have a very good case." Dentan explains the perceived rationale for hurtful behavior. "Usually, before you do violence, you simplify the situation in your mind, so that violence seems piau- driven to seek a remote people in what was then Malaya. Den tan, whose work on the Semai continues in a book he's working on that focuses on "the intertwining of violence and nonviolenceinSemailifeandhistory;"notes thatSemaidon'tsetout.toraise nonviolent children "They just want children to know that t/>ey're safe with their dose kin and neighbors," he writes. Unlil<e in the U.S., where hierarchy looms in nearly every institu· tion, Dentan says the Semai-who today number roughly 30,000have no hierarchy. "You don't have to break down control barriers if !here aren't any; he says. "But the parents tell the kids that ·the outside world is horribly dangerous, so that the kids will stay near the adults, where they are rela- however, is the need to rationalize. "To make violence palatable to decent, concerned, humane people like otmelves, there has to be a kiod of simplifying fonn~al, .religious, political or moralizingthat muffies the sound of weeping, serearning children and other innocents," he says.

Ashwill , whose interest in lndodtina has resulted in several D language-culture exchange pro grams involving Vietnamese and American universities, businesses and cultural grou~ decided to do something about it This week, he announced the establishment of a private association to p...,;,;de financial and other forms of support to qualified students from Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos who want to pursue relevant, useful and quality education and training in the United States. Initial funding for the U.S.Indochina Educational Foundation, Inc., or USIEF, was provided by a $10,000 grant from the Paul). K£ssler Foundation. Additional funds will he solicited from individuals, corporations and other private foundations that make grants to public charities.

The opportunity, however, is usu ally available only to children of upper-class families or to those few students whose governments are able to underwrite their foreign studies. Ashwill says that Indochina students already receive some scholarship money from the Australian and Japanese governments and from a few Fulbnght grants distnbuted m the region. But the funding available doesn't come dose to satisfying the need, he says. Each country has discrere issues to resolve in this regard. Vietnam has a number of established colleges and universities, Ashwill says, but little money available to support further education overseas. Laos has a different problem. An agrarian nation, it has only a rudimentary system of higher education and only one university, which focuses on agricultural research with the assistance of a rew Canadian and American colleges. Ashwill says the first co ncern of the USIEF will be for Cambodia, which faces a situation more dire than Vietnam or Laos. ..An entire generation of th e intdligencia, as well as the business and professional classes, were wiped out in the Khmer Rouge genocide of 1975-79," Ashwill rentinds us, "This disaster left the Cambodian economy and educational system in ruins with no one capable of rebuilding either." In fact, the first Indochinese student to receive financial assistance from the new foundation is Sokna Hang of Cambodia. A USIEF scholar.;hip student in UB's English Language Institute, Hang is preparing for graduate study in management or law in an ~erican university.

East meets East in Lockwood exhibitions Two consecutive displays in library represent contradictory ideologies By PATRICIA DONOVAN News Services Editoi OCKWOOD Memorial Library on the North Campu s is sp o nsori ng two conse.cutive exhibi~ .Lions that represent opposi ng ideologies at play in territories ruled by the People's Republic of China. The first , "Tibetan Prayer Flags," is a colorful exhibition of Tibetan Buddhist prayer banners presented in conj unction with this month's visit to UB by two Tibetan nation als who represent the Tibetan "culture in exile." Both are working to draw world anention to the plight of their nation, which was invaded by China and made pan of that r<· public. Because the prayer flags exhibited here ..represent" sacred sites in Tibet itself, they also might be considered part of that effort. The exhibition, which is located in the exhibition cases on the second Door of the library, opened early this month and will end March 15. The second exhibit, .. From Revolution to Refonn," presents propaga nd a p osters produced in the People's Republic of China from 1962-82. They represent elfons by both the Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping governments to mobilize the masses and provide role models of selfless revolutionary virtue. T he poster exhibition will run March 13 through April JO. It can be found in the reference section of the L library on the hbrary's second floor. The Buddhist prayer flags are from the coUection of Richard L<e, head of the Division of Geoiraphic Medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Such flags can be found anywhere Buddhism is practiced, but these were coUected by Lee in Northern lndia, where many Ti~tan refugees have settled. The banners are made ofbrighdy colored silk marked with prayers or, as in this case, sacred Tibetan sites. and are flown out-of-doors. where they are allowed to disintegrate naturally in the wind. Each prayer leaves ~hind its physical form and, in a metaphorical sense. enters the spiritual realm of which Buddhists believe we are all a part. This exhibit marks the visits to UB this spring of ,G es he Gawa ng Jangchup. a Buddhist monk and of· ficial representative of the Dalai lama in the Indian state of Kashmir, and Dadon Dowadolrna, a popular Ti· betan rock star. Like the Dalai lama, she too has helped bring her nation's plight to the attention of the world.

Such posters, glorifying the state and the lead· crsof the m<>lution,often were hung in Chinese homes as political shrines. True to the sentiments of the Mao regime. o ne poster from 1963 demands, "Ame.r ican imperialism get out of southern Vietnam!" Also commOn in this period were post ers that promoted the unifica~ion of the country. One shown here that reads, .. Serve the Workers , Peasants and Soldiers ... " is characteristic of Mao's revolutionary propaganda. FoUowing Mao's death, China's new leader Deng embarked on a differen t kind of major national refonn that was designed to modmtize all aspects of Ch.ineselife. This period, which began in 1978, is referred to as China's era of the "Four Modern izations," a reference to the transformation of China's agriculture, in dustry, national defense and sciencel tecluiology. This effort was under· taken to bring the nation into line with the demands of the emerging global marketplace. Most of the posters in this exhibit are from the Deng period. They exhon the Chinese people to put their energies into this development effort. A 1979 poster, for instance, proclaims, .. Everyone strive to be a pacesetter for the technological revolution." The exhibition text, written by curator Blaine Gausta.d of th e Fredonia State CoUege History Depanment, explains dearly the his· tori cal, cultural and political context in which the posten were produced. The poster exhibition is being mounted with funding and technical as:;iStance from the CarhananJackson Humanities Fund and the Bulfalo and Erie County Historical Society, respectively. �februar!14.2000/Yol.31.1o.21 Rep curta. 7 Obituaries Wayland "Pat'' Smith, 72, involved in experimental college$ Smith wasinter<sl<d early on in the Wayland Patrick '"Pat"' Smith. former chair of the Department of experimental collegiate idea-in Industrial Engineering and a direc- which studenu and farulty members tor of the experimental Collegia~ inter<sl<d in <X>DUilOD issues would Ass<mbly at UB in the late 1960s, live and work together in 16 "colleges"--<ID<I particularlywas involved died Jan. 16 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

How m•ny f•culty •re •fflliated with the Institute? There are more than 200 fac ult y with interests with regard to the enVIronment. If you think about that d1versity of taJcnl that we have at the unive rsit y, it 's a real strength. Not onl y do we have affiliated faculty, we also have affiliated centers of excellence that ca n be used to address both education and research with rega rd to tht: env1ronment. ExamplC!I include the Toxicology Re~ca rch Center in the school of medi cine, the ha1..ardou~ waste center in Engineering, rh(· Grea t Lakes Program , th e uni vt' rsit y1s ccntt"r (or Geographic Information and AnalySIS In Geography. What Is the Environmental M•n~tgement Altem•tlves Progr•m (EMAP) and what kinds of proJects are funded through It? ·1ne steering committee's intent is to try to facilitate interdisciplinary research by bringing together different academic disciplines that can focus on assessin g and developing ap proaches to regional environmentaJ problems. EMAP makes available seed funding of up to $20,000 fo r research projects that pair interdisciplinary academic working groups with community stakeholder groups. Of the ones that have been funded, two have dealt with local environmental health issues or problems: one with developing a groundwater. model and assessment for a comm unity, another one had to do with a health assessment in a commu nity impacted by a toxic-waste site. Others have had a more overarching kind of development of regional perspectives. One that is currently under way is looking at environmental monitoring and stewardship as a follow-up to the State of the Region report. The follow-up was to bener delineate what aR some of the environmental indicators that we need to begin developing so we can have better rnvironmental stewardship in the region. Another project that has implications for regional dev<lopment and planning is the brownfields redevelopment project. lhat was a nice. interdisciplinary group from U.w, Civil Engineering and Planning that actually looked at developing a mechanism for redeveloping the brown6clds in Buffalo. Wh•t other types of wortc Is ESIInvolved In? ESI also is irivolved in assessing the educational needs of the universitywhere are we at the uruverkity with regard to graduate and undergraduate education. We have a training program where we provide top-off fellowships for the recruitment of students. ·a competitive ·graduate sti ~ pend to bring students here. ESI has been involved in the planning.of an Envi ronmental Health Center to deve lop a research and education agenda for environmental health. The institute also is working on better articulating and organizing a community environmental task force or adVOC1cy network where we can use ESI to organize, on an ad hoc basis, interdisciplinary ""rking groups to address specific environmental hcahh concerns or issues, as well as things that co~e up in the commu nity. One example from this past year is the institute'swork to assist the En vironmental Protection Agency and community groups in Midd.Jeport with regard to remediation efforts at the FMC plant where there is arsenic contamination in the soil One of the issues was, what are background levels that should be used in the risk assessmc:rn and how to quantify the bad<ground levels appropriauly.The institute had ·a group that worked with the EPA to help design a badground level study. We also commented on the remediation plan. The value of ESI was that we could haw: people in each of the critical areas of evaluation--regulation, soil, geology, chemistry, environmental mgineer· ing, public health, toxicology. You had people there around the tal>le . .. people who are experts. don't want that to happen to me. It's a completely different perception based on the risk and .how i(s being managed and oomrnunicated to people. Sometimes ther<'s a disconnect between the community and the information they need to be abk to assess the risk and who's managing it. I think that over.ill, there's bttn a lack of mechanism for communities to be more involved in the proces... Why •re the d~INites on envlronment..l Issues (pestkkle: use, effects of pollution on wildlife, etc.) 10 acrtmottlous, even •mong prlv•te dthens7 I've come to realize more and more the necessity to have more of an eco-system approach to all the different dimensions of the environment. Sometimes you can't be so focused on the very specific issue because lots of times there's a broader issue or problem that impacts that specific problem that you're trying to solve. It really helps to try to put into context what you're doing into a broader ecosystem. The whole area of risk assessment and communication, and taking the scienct and trying to translate it into good public policy and decisionmaking is difficult But that's where the institute again can provide that interface, where, in fact, p<\licy makers. regulators and decision-rnak<rs can be educated with regal<! to what the issues are so that the best decisions can be made. And the: issue isn't when people realize that good decisio ns~ not being made and people are imposing risks. upon· them dlat · are not voluntary, th.,;, the ~­ tion is that they are being hanned. They rriight not be getting harmed. but the perception is that they're getting harmed So there's a whole riskperception field where people have looked at how people respond to thesesortsofthings. Whether it's voluntary versus involuntary, whether something is known or unknown. You can teU someone that their risk if they smoke cigamtes is I00 times more than somebody else, they'll say they knowthatand that's their choice. But if the risk of living in a neighborhood where there's an air pollutant coming across my fence, somebody else is doing that to me and I How has your personal philosophy . - . how you Interact wtth the environment deftloped INosecl on the things you haift diKOY· ered In your rHHirdt 1 Do you consider yourself an envlronment•llst7 Absolutely.

No doubl Seminar focuses on research funding By SUZANNE CHAMIIEIILAIN Reporter Contributor N off-campus retreat last August with corporate partner IBM and toplevel university faculty members and administrators has resulted in a new faculty seminar series focusing on corporate and foundation funding opportunities to increase research dollars. The Office of the Provost and the Division of University Advancement and Development are co-sponsoring the workshops. as well as looking at ways to enlist more faculty support through credit for tenure and promotion for successful proposals. "Weare being explicit with ourexpectationsaboutdevdopmcntdollars and recognizing that fucul ty members are key to these efforts," said Provost David). Triggle. "This sour« of A revenue assumes greater significance for faculty development and expectationsas the nwnberof a:>rporations and foundations supporting llllM:rsity-based research increases." T he se min ars will provide an overview of the corporate- and fo undation- relations effort at UB and how this multi-faceted development program can help the university increase external suppon. "We want to work with the faculty in developing successful proposals reaching fo r corporate and foundation r=rch dollars, to fund those research projects that might otherwise go unfunded," said Ronald H. Stein, vi~ president for university advancemerit and development .. It's aiJ part of the strategic plan that emerged from the retrea~ our plan to double outside funding over the next five years and to use the seminars for bringing tog<ther faculty members and development officers in exploring fund-raising opportunities." Stein explained that VB looks to corporations and foundations because these organizations hold a signifi cant opport unity for external dollars that are waiting to be tapped as an alternative or enhancement to federal funding. The first seminar. held Tuesday. focused on opportunities for research and faculty in the U.w School the School of Management, the School of Phannacy and the School ofEngineeringandAppliedSciences. Presenters included lain Hay, associate provost for research; Stein; Lewis Mandell, dean of the School of Mana~ment, and various development staff mm1bers. The next seminar is scheduled for Feb~9 in the Biomedical Education Building on the South Campus for faculty members in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, the School of Dental Medicine, the School of Health Rela ted Professiorts and the School of Nursing. The th ird seminar is slated for March I intheballroomoftheUniversity lnn and Conference Center on North Forest Road in Amherst and will focus on the College of Arts and Sciences, the Gradual< School of .Mucation, the School of Social Work. the School of Architecture and Planning, and the School oflnformation Studies.

"We're using Mono Lake as a test to compare the SRTM resuJts with those from the Global Positioning Satellite," he said.

In order to perform their assigned tasks, they must be triggered to change into the active state. Structural biologists are learning what protein molecules look like in their stable-state end -points, but very little is known about the instantaneous journey from one state to the other. Researchers at UB. in the current issue of the journal Nature. report a P new way to study the dynamics of proteins as they pass through this transition state. "To understand how a protein works, it is very important to un derstand how it J:llOV<S and changes," said Anthony Auerbach, professor of physiology and biophysics, and senior author on the paper. daudio Grosman, research assistant professor working with Auerbach, is the primary author. ~en we know how the protein moves, perhaps we can ma.kt- it go faster or slower, or develop drugs to change the ratio of active-to-inac-# live states," All~ch saici The ability to interven e in the transition state eventually·oould he usefuJ in such conditions as congenital myasthenia synd rome, in which molecules in muscle cells jump too quickly from one state to the other, caus:mg damage to the odl and ev~nt uall y in terfering with movement, he noted.

Their results sugg<S! there is a wave of structural change during receptor activation. "The resulting.map of this ronformation wave provides empirical evidence that will serve as guide posts for scientists who will do the computer analysis of the transition state in the future," Auerbach saici Ming Zhou, a former graduate student in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, now at Rockefeller University, also participated in the research. �Mathematicians find home Williams expands ~b site to include other black scientists ay BLEH COOI.DL\UM dude a time line of significant dates, a listing ofblack research mathematicians, profiles of black mathematic:ians---<!bout 300 so far-<Uld black mathematicians outside of North America and in ancient Africa.

The~ Sl~ million gap IT needs surpass funding by millions By MAilA McGINNIS Rqxxt.~ Assbtant T Editor HE university's infomtation -technology needs for the coming year out - weigh the funding avail· able by about S10 million, Voldemar matching fund, one-time commit- ments and the technology fee. "Best guess from my point of view at this early stage is that might come out to about S4 or $5 million at best," lnnus said. "So you can sec we will probably have to look at constrain· Inn us, chief information offica, told ing what currently prople are envi - the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at the group's Feb. 9 meeting. sioning they need by about half." In response to a report by the ~ nate's Computer Services Com mittee (CSC). lnnus told senators that he is responding to a request from Provost David Trigg)e and Senio r Vice President Robert Wagner to put together an outline and finan cia l assessment of what the university's IT needs will be in the coming 12 months. .. The first cut came to Sl4.5 mil lion of need over the next I2 months if we wanted to address most of the curve concerns that most of the constituent groups were putting on the table," lnnus said. "Obviously, we don't have that kind of money. I did a second cut and got it down to about $9.5 million." He added that after his assessment was reviewed at the last meeting of Thomas Schroeder, associate proicssor of learning and instruction, said a graduate student in his de- partment told him that UB's technology fee is the second highest in the country and added that such claims could be problematic if stu dents don't think they're getting commmsurate acuss to technology. lnnussaid that while UB is"fairly aggressive" in terms of its technol- ogy fee, he said to call it "the second highest in the country" is probably inaccurate, given the different ways fees are determined and packaged. "Fees are handled in different ways on different campuses, so it is difficuh to sort· out," said lnnus. "But if you look at all of the fees combined, we're in the middle of the pack." lnnus noted that he has had an .. interesting set of discussions with the students" regarding the technology fee and said their only real concern was that the fee be used for its in tended purpose. "We have worked very hard to do that," said Innus. "Each year, we ensure that we takt that fee and use it for its intended purpose." He said the f.., helps pay for such things as the university's IT Steering Com mittee, it was dear that "we are going to have to look at some addi tionaJ prioritization beyond that because we are not going to have 1 that much money available." lnnus noted that he also is ..going through a secondary process trying to identify all of the funding we will have available" for IT from such access to unlimited printing on sources as the capital fund, the campus--for which other universi- a strp back and look at what we'ft done, what we've done weU and live off campus. what needs to be improved.• Wagner added that the student · Peterton added that a point of technology fee is a oomplicated issue discussion that oonstantly comes up and reminded the senators that the with the committee is "the business fee is only one piece of the sour~ of of how we do IT business," indud· funding for IT efforts on campus. · ing such ques~ons as, 'How is the "Our challenge in the na1 couple baseline support for faculty deter· of years in the IT arena, l think, is mined?' and 'What should a faculty going to be a challenge of memberhaveintennsofm' Inn us said the IT Steering Comprioritization." said Wagner, adding that while the needs are almost lim- mittee is "striving to find new and idess,theresources;m,extraordinar· dilfermt ways to increase participa· ily limited and that the university tion."butaddedthathehopestode·· will have to determine what will be termine other vehid<S to that end, the "really critical investments." such as roundtabi<S or brown-bag Faculty also expressed concern lunches where faculty"ha"" the opabout the lack of faculty involve· portunitytogcttheissu<Soutthere." ment in the IT process, and Lorna ln response to a qut:Stion about Peterson, chair of the CSC. said that HOD,Innussaid the major problems the oomrnittee's theme this year"has with the software stemmed from a been to in<re!se faculty voice, power.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Housjng plans turn to South Campus By SUE WUETCH . . Rqx>rtrr Editor A S constru ction speeds along on South Lake Village, UB is turning il'i attention to the South Campus as the site for the next stu dent residential- housing project. Dennis Black, vice president for stu dent affairs, told the UB Co uncil Tuesday. The university plans to convert the trad itiona l dormiwry-st yle rooms in Goodyear Hall into twobedroom apartments, as we ll as renovate Cement Hall, maintaining the building as a traditional, donni· tory-style residence hall, Black said. Design work will begin this year. with completion anticipat<d in 2003· 04. The project wouklb<funded with the rrvenue generated through the university's residencr halls. Once the South Campus project is under way. plans will turn back to the North Campus, Black said One site for potential development is the area between The Com- mons, the University Booksto.,, the Student Union and the Ellicott Comple:x, dubb<d by Black as "the i'aTcd B-Lee Loop" plan. plcx thai opened '" Fall I999. Black "' Today. it's a large, open, green space area lacking the con nection between the impo rt ant Ellicott Complex and the rest of the aca demic spine," he said. "'VI/e don't have a good pedestrian pathway there, we don't have a good vehicle pathway there; we don't have a connection between two signifi cant portions of the campus." O ne goal of the university's long· term housing plan is to develop this: area a.s a "corridor between two im portan t segments of the campus," not only with housing, but possibly with service and commercial spaces as weU, Black said. But such a plan would be com plex to complete, involving "a vari ety of different constituencies and infrastructure issues.," he acknowl edged. A study to develop a master est1mated ttiat C.att"way would house betwe-en 400 -500 st udents In predominately four -bedroom unil'i.

That is to say, with the proliferation of 1V and radio outlets, cindidates need to be sure to hit each media market so as to maxi- mize their exposure.

David Mark. professor of grography and director of NCGIA:s UB site, is immediate past For society at large, of course, crime doesn't pay, but the researchers say criminals not only see a pay· off from crime, they expect a cer- president of the organization. W tain level of benefit depending on specific factors present in the neigh· borhoods in which they operate. The main goal of the UB project is to use geographic-information-sci· ence techniques to quickly identify " hot spots" of increasing criminal a¢vjty, as well as areas where such activity is on the decline. The ability to develop such tools for the mapping and analysis of crimes--a rea:nt emphasis of researdlers at the VB site of the National Ce nter for Geographic lnformation and Analysis (NCGIA)--will allow law-enforcement agencies and policymakers to target more strategically their crime- fighting efforts.

The objective is to help detennine how best to allocate police resourc~ among adjacent neighborhoods m order to most effecti\fely reduct" aime, not simply cause a shift in such activity from one area to another.

F.mly Medicine to present workshop • SeMc::es Editor LL campus constituen cies-particularly faculty-must be involved in the planning and decision-making process if a university is to successfully incorporate new teaching and learning tech nologies, education-technology expert Steven Gilbert told hbrarians, information specialists, computtr scientists and administrators during a presentation at UB Feb. 2. As founder and president of the Teaching, Learning & Technology Group, or nT, an affili..te of the American Association for Higher Education, Gilbert has assisted hundreds of universities in the United States and abroad in effectively managing the complex organizational issues that accompany the information revolution. Gilbert began his talk-entitled "Teaching, L<aming, Technology and Change: What Should be Preserved and What Should be Transformed "-with a brief but fact filled and romputer-assisted discussion of the history, current trends and probable future of educational technologies in higher education. He noted tha~ whether we likt it or no~ the integration oflT, along with its marvels and annoyances, new power bases and addicted but frus . trated users, will be even more rapid in coming decades. To demonstrate a usefuJ way of approaching the difficulties associ "ted with this transition, Gilbert asked audience members to partici pate in a demonstration of the decision-making process used by the TLT group to assist client colleges and universities.

From this exercise followed an open discussion of how technology needs an: assessed at UB and how the process might be improved. The discussion lasted long after the formal presentation ended. Calling the IT revolution ..an irreversible transformation.. of our social institutions. Gilbert said that even with all its problems, the process has been accompanied by a new sense of overwhelming opportunity. He used 1999 data developed by Casey Green of the Campus Computing Project to cite a 400 percent increase in the use ofoourse-relatcd email since 1995 and a great increase in the use of course Web pages, computer simulations, email conferencing, online readings and other applications by faculty members across the country. Although the widespread use of IT foi distance-learning programs was predicted fiw: years ago. its use for that purpose is not nearly as great as expected, he said But about 46 percent of colleges offer at least one oourse online, while only a very small percentage of colleges use the Web for c-commerce or financial transactions with students. "With the greatly increased access to new educational technologies romes problems!' he said. High CX>Sts. resistance to chan~ difficulty inte- grating useful new applications into t.raditional rounes and difficulty recruiting and retaining IT support staff an: just a few of them, he said In fact, Gilbert noted that one of the most distinguishing features of the increasing popularity of computer technologies is the thiriness of tech support almost everywhere in higher education. He pointed out that the ratio of students to support staff is I :200 at public and private research universities, 1:350 at public four-year institutions, ancf rven higher at community rolleges. .. University-support services are falling behind user expectations, which are rising fas~" Gilbert said .. Many universities can't afford to employ even the student technicians they train because the stUdents can rna.ke mo~ money in a commercial setting.• The constant upgrades in technology mean that everyone becomes a novice again every three to 12 months, so thealready-sttained support staff has more teaching to do than ever before, aa:ording to Gilbert. And while these specialists are being caJicd upon to teach as wdl as install, repair and maintain complex information systems, librarians an: beoolning the tech-support specialists and administrators are imestigatingandsupportingspecificpedagogieal applications. he said The extensive application of information technologies has provoked other problems as well. Gilbert pointed to employee roncems ow:r information overload; &ustration over constant changes in programs, systems and processes; lack of training; increased workloads, and users' difficulty in discerning which new applications will satisfy their needs. There is evidence, too,ofincnased physical and psychological stress, social isolation, less time and opportu· nity for personal interaction and complaints of feeling either overconnected or disconnected, he said. He noted that researchers have. found that although email and the Internet provide for more social relationships, they'n: also more shallow. "Uniw:rsities haw: to deal with all this and other problems as wdl." he said. "They'n: under int<me presoun: to keep up with their axnpetitors, redua costs and implement instructional technologies that impfove teaching and karning methods. "Because there is a lack of condu.;..., mdence that much of this in· structiooal material is acodemically effective,'~ academic leaders don't know who or what tD trust. Institutional paranoia is common.• As a n:su1t. roOege administrators might maintain tightrontrol <M:Cthe planning, distribution and impleme.ntation of new t'Cdlnoi<Jgies, which he says is usually a mistaJ«. "Not only does it deprive decision-maken of a pool of croative and intelligent technologyusen," he said, "but it also ~ frustra. tion and resistance to change." This.. he said, often has gummed up the best-laid administrative plaru. "The fllculty, for instance, has a V<Sted interest in what's going on in the uniw:nity," Gilbert n:minded the audience. "We've found that they • bring important, unique and necessary perspectives to the discussions of how to fold new technologies into the teaclting process. For this reason alan~ it is most unwise to cut them out... In his work with hundreds of institutions. Gilbert said he has nearly always found the need for a forum whe"' memberS of the university rommunity can discuss these issues openly. Using workshops, working groups, ongoing roUndtaJSic discussions and other structure.d proowes, he said, the nT Group has taught hundreds of educators to identify and work With theconcrrns of their many ronstituencies. .. This process make.:s it much easier to develop effrp:iw: strategies to direct and ~ the impact of infonnation technOlogy throughout the institution." Gilbert maintained. Researchers discuss genetics of mental illness Report~r Contributor types is a tricky part of the research ARLOS N. Pato and Michele T. Pato, a husband-and-wife team of psych iatrists at UB, shared some of the latest developments in their research on .. Breaking the Genetic Code of Mental Jll. ness" during Tuesday's "UB at Sunrise" lecture. The Patos, both associate profes· sors of psychiatry and co-dim:tors of the UB Laboratory of Psychiatric and Molt"Cular Genetics, shared high tights of their latest r<Search-a S4.2 million project on bipolar disorder in the Arores. The study, which seeks to isolate a gene or genes with a possible link to the disorder, is funded by the National Institutes of Health. The Patos also shared some of the fmdings of their ongoing, $2.6 mil· tion project on schizophrenia, also being ronducted in the Awres. which wasfundedbytheN IH in 1997. Michele Pato explained that de· spite many of the mcdicaJ break throughs in mental illness.. it's still very much a descriptive science. "When I talk about something like schizophrenia, I'm really talking about a group of schiwphrenias," she said."Not everyone has the same genetic schizoph renia." conducted by the Patos.

The couple reported that the general population has a I percent incidence of schizophrenia and a .7 percent incidence of bipolar disorder. However, if a parent or sibling suffersfromschizophreniaorbipolar disorder, the Patos found the risk forillnessinachildincreasestobetween 10 and 15 ~nt. The risk factor also increases if both parents have the illness. the Patos said.

While bipolar disorder may afford periods of relatively normal functioning, she said, schizophrenia is a mo~ detrriorative disease. The researchers cited a distinct link ~n heredity and increased outward appearance of the dis ease-in order to obtain a different expression of genotypes--how the disuse is genetically transmitted from parent to child "We need to try to subspecify what we think is an illness," Carlos Pato said "Rath<r than looking at 20 illnesses that look alike, maybe we'll only look at thre< or four. Then we can start teasing apart what's going on." While their research for both iJJ. n~ continues to take shape~ the couple is optimistic that improved treatment-perhaps even a CUI't'is in the future.

Another major change affecti!Jg all freshmen entering UB this fall is that nearly all fr~shmen will be block -registered, Goodman added.

In the past, UB's freshman-<>rientation program consisted of approximately 10 separate sessions scheduled throughout the summer. Student lesting and coune registration had been a ma- jor component of those sessions. which no longer wiU be the case. According to Nicolas Goodman, vice provost for undergraduate edu cation, there was some "dissatisfaction" with the former approach, particularly with the lack of faculty involvement and academic content. The new program will involve planning and participation by Undergraduate Education, Academic Advisement, deans and facu lt y membenin each of the schools and units within Student Affairs and University Services. A concurrenl program for parents. coordinated by Toby Shapiro. parent program director in the Office of Student Ac tivities, will offer parents a choicr of several workshops covering various topics. While many of the program details still are being worked out, incoming freshmen now will pr~reg­ ister from home in late spring, rather This year. only about half of fresh men hav~ block schedules, wh&eh means most of their classes are W1th the same group of students.

The new orientation program will allow freshmen the chancr to meet and interact with the other student> in their "block" befor<: classes begin, Kaars noted. adding that each block wiU be made up of about 24 students. The program also will include ..commuter-only St:SSions" that will be held while other student> are dtecking into the residena halls and will focus on building successful st rategies to connect these students--OOth academically and socially-with the university. About I00 UB student aides wiU participate in th~ new orientation program, and Kaars hopes they will act as .. upperdass mentors" for the freshmen. In addition, for the first time at UB, there wiU -be a " fresh man convocatio n" during orientation , bringing together the entire freshman dass at the same time and place, she said. Kaars explained that one important rea.SQn for changing the program was the financial and time constraints summer travel caused for o ut -of-town siudents. particu larly studen ts with summer jobs. "This way they're coming to college and they're going to stay," she said. K.aars added that the new program is a "university-wide respon sibility" and an excellent opportu nity for faculty to connect with new students. She said the program will be"quite dynamic" and promises to utilize much creative energy with all of the people involved. "No one is excluded from this process." she said. FSEC discusses women's studies By MAltA MCGINNIS Reporter As.sistant Editor T HE possibility of creating a women's studies depart ment within the CoUege of Arts and Sciences was the basis of an interim report given by the Faculty Senate Academic Planning Co mmitte e (APC ) to the senate's Executive Committee Feb. 2. Kerry Grant, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, had proposed last November that the program in women's studi es be transformed into a_ full -fledged department, asserting that the change " is already a functional reality arid has been for some time." The program had been part of the Department of Ameri can Studies in CAS and when the depa rtment was dissolved last year, women's studies .fell under the aus pices of the dean's office. Claude E. Welch, Jr. , chair of the APC and SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Political Science. reported that after considering Grant's proposal. the committee "did not feel at this point that it should formally recommend the proposed change in status."

Gale, professor emeritus of behavioral science in the School of Dental Medicine. Gale, 61, died unexpectedly )an . 14 in .his North Buffalo home. He was in the process of retiring to a home in New Mexico. Gale joined the dental-school faculty as an assistant professor of behavioral science and psychology in 1966, serving as a faculty member in the school for more than 30 years. His a,..,. of expertise was chronic jaw muscle pain, and he was an internationally known pioneer in the use of biofeedback to treat the disorder. He recently had completed a study involving the use of positron emission tomography(PET scan) to identify areas of the brain that an: activated hy jaw muscle pain. For more than two decades, Gale collaborated with colleagues at the University of Goleborg. Sweden, on jaw muscle pain research. He also se rved as a consultant to the university's dental and psychology faculty. In 1982, the university awarded him an honorary doctor of odontology degree. He had been a visiting professor at Gifu CoUege of Dentistry tn japan and a consultant with thc U.S. Peace Corps.

Her NCAA provisional q4alifying throw also qualified her for the ECAC's and MAC Championships. To the Editor: In 1998, New York began the deregulation of the power-utility systems. Deregulation is expected to red uce power costs by 5-10 perant as an open market develops over the next five years. Uncertainty in the new markrt and the lack of competition by new suppliers has led to occasional price spikes. Shon-term price spikes lasting from a few hours to two or mort days occurred last summer when the demand for power was high. When this occurred, the price for power increased by as much as 10 times the normal rate. At the level the university uses power. this drives costs up by thousands of doUim each hour. Fortunately we receive day-ahead pricing so measures can be taken to limit our consumption. A plan to manage power-price increases is being prepared by University Facilities to improve our ability to reduce afternoon consumption this summer. Buildings will be cooled prior to oCcupancy when JX>wer costs are lower, reducing ow need to cool in the late afternoon, when power prices are peaking. Other long-range options include cooling-policy changes. fixed -price supply contracts, on-site power gc:neration, gas-fired cooling systems and geo-thermal resources. A5a membcrofthecampw community, we need your year-ro und support in reducing energy consumption. During weather ex · tremes, please dress appropriately; turn off lights, office equipment and coffeepots whenever possible, and report energy waste. Th~ simple measures will yield environlllcntal and significant costs saving benefits to the university -fohn Russo, Assistant Dirtetor, Ultfity OperoliOm Calendar =~~~~No. 9 . }ohn Roed6, Univ. of British Columbia. 211 Baird Hill. 4 p.m .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

According to Kost, the notion of a Virtual Village as part of the school's Integrative Seminar in Community course-the follow-up course to Advanced Policy Development and Analysis, and typically a student's finaJ class in the master's degree program-seemed to add a fresh dimension. The course. Kost says, aims to in tegrate the students' research skills learned in the previous semester with an understanding of policies and programs. Prior to the village's inception, the course centered on classroom discussion about field placements and other courses.

Time-medicine link examined By LOIS IIAXER News Services Editor T HE relationship berween time and medicine is not a frequent subject of dis cuss ion, unless it is to question why one must book an ap· pointment with a physician months in advan<:e, or spend ho urs halfdressed in an exam room waiting for ·a 15-minute visit. But the f2 essays in the special millennium issue of Annals of Inter· nal Medicine edited by Richard Lee, UB professor of medicine, reflectin phil~phical, historical, cultu ral and sometimes personal terms--on the ways time shapes the theory and practice of medicine. AU of the essays were written by physicians. The idea for the issue, which was published Jan . 4, arose out of lec tures Lee presentt-d in a course on world c ulture taught by He nr r Sussman, professor of comparative literature. Lee turned o ne of the lectures into an essay titled " Doctoring to the Music of Time." The essay centers on two different ways of marking time: circular as ex:perienced in traditional societies, where time's passage is measured by the cycles of the seasons and celestial movements, and linear, based on the co ncept o f progress and characterized by marching ever onward, perhaps to- ward the "end" of time. lee discusses how patients' beliefs about the na· tureoftimein.Ouences their notions ofheaJth and medi cine,and notes the importance of the patient's and healer's notions of time being in S)11chrony. The editor of Annals of Internal Medicine decided to make the piece the lead essay in a full issue devoted to time that would be published at the turn of the millennium. The essays touch on the soc ial meaning of time, technologies of time, personal time from the per· spective of physician and patient, and medicine in past, present and future time. They examine such issues as a patient's experience of time during illness, differing interpretations of the relatio nships between age and Lime. the disappearance of tim e in the teaching of medicine and how a diagnosis of serious illness seems to bring time to a standstill. ..1 think the issue IS a good o ne, particularly for general readers who are interested m medicine," Lee said.

Researcher focuses on mental health By JEHNIRJI UWANDOWSKI Report~ Contributor T HE subj ects ma y be somewhat unusuaJ research topics for an epi- demiologist, but Beth Moscato, a research assistant professor of sociaJ and preventive medi ci ne, has made mental hea1th and civil unrest among her chief research priorities. .. People who have a passion for what they're doing do the best research," Moscato says ... These {issues ) won't go away and need to be addressed." A pioneer in psychiatric epidemiology, she says one of her goals is to build a research base in mental health at UB. " My mission is to develop very sound, systematic research on menfal-health issues and mental-health disorders," explains Moscato, who says her work to this end is unique at UB. "For me, (mental health ) is a very neglected issue," says the researcher, who designed and teaches a graduate course in the epidemiqlogy of mental disorders and men tors graduate students who are preparing theses and dissertations related to mental-health issues. These issues are gaining more recognitiOn, Moscato notes. pointing to U.S. Surgeon General David Satche r's recent report on mental health that found that one in five people in the United States suffer from a mental disorder or illness. O ne aim of her research , she says, is to demonstrate the prevalence of several common conditions. " I hope it makes people more awa re that th ese disorders aren't separate from mainstream medical conditions... she says. Moscato, who joined the Depart ment of Social and Preventive Medicine in 1996 after receiving her doctorate from UB, also has positioned herself on the cutting edge of another previously untapped field of research--civil unrest. "Some people say it's out of the ( sc ientifi c) ballpark," s ~e says. .. Some say it doesn't touch our shores. I don't see it that way." Civil unrest in suc h places as Kosovo, Rwanda and Bosn ia IS worth scientific investigation based on its link with disease and death, she says. tackles issues related to patients that I have seen clinically." she says. "The clinical background allows me to see patients-faces--while I'm doing resarch. Then I'm not working for numbers ; I'm working for the people I saw (as patients)." Moscato's focus includes both clinical and community settings. "You can't always limit younclf to a clinic or hospital setting." she says, pointing out that the majority of the people who suffer from mental diso rders-even the most severe cases--do not seek professional help. "You have to look in the community, you ha~ to go where the people if you want good data." Moscato's inte rest in mental health is broad. She has worked as = a consultant on a three-year study of the physical and mental health of children evac uated from Cbernobyl following the nuclear plant accident in 1986. She also serves as an associate research scientist at UB's Research Institute on Addictions, where she has investiEmerging Research and Action Agenda.. at the 1999 International Society for E-n vironmental Epide- County. Her latest venture focuses on genetic issues concerning bipolar disorder--or manic depression. · Moscato is workina with Carlos N. Patoand MichdeT. Pato,associate professors of psychiatry and codirectors of the UB Laboratory of ~iatric and Molecular Genetics. who have r~ a $4.2 million grant from the National Institutes of ·Health to search for a gene or genes that may be linked to bipolar disorder. Identifying the molecular basis of such a linkage could lead to advanc.s in diagnosis and treatment of the disorder, which afrects millions of people worldwide. The Patos are conducting their research with the relatively homogeneous population of the Azores, Portugueso islands located in the North Atlantic about 1,000 miles off the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Moscato says the Azores were chosen becauS. of their isolation and lack of migration from the islands. "The local churches have family gated the rdationship between de- records going back five genera- pressive symptoms and alcohol problems among women in Erie tions," she says, which hdps in data collection. miology (!SEE) conference in Athens in September, says more than 35 million individuals have become refugees through war or civil un rest , and more t h a n 4 million ~eople have lost their lives in the past dee~de . While the events in Kosovo and Rwanda lose media appeai over time, she says the long-lasting effects of such conflicts deserve more attention. "I think over time there will be a response from a very diverse scien- tific community." says Moscato. who is organizing a symposium on the issue for the next ISEE conference · set for August in Buffalo. Through the course ofher career, Moscato has worked in various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, community mental health and private practice. " I really like a research agenda that Endocrinologists solve piece·of insulin puzzle Work finds that insulin increases enzyme that causes blood vessels to dilate By LOIS BAKER News Services Editor I NSULJN. the hormone pro- duced by the pancreas that enables cells to absorb sugars, also is known to dilate blood vessels. This action is a boon to the heart because it allows blood to flow more easily and under less pressure. Precisely how this action occurs is a puzzJe. But researchers have shown that when insulin comes into con· tact with cells in the blood-vessel lining, it induces the release of nitric oxide, a known blood -vl'SSCI dilator. Endocrinologists from U B now have supplied a piece to this pu7~le by showing for the first time that insulin causes cells in the blOCK! -vessel lining to increase secretion of nitric oxide synthase. the enzyme responsible for nitric oxide produc· tion. That is, insulin increases the enzyme, which creates more nitric oxide, which results in dilation. Results of the research, headed by Paresh Dandona, professor of medicine and director of the DiabetesEndocrinology Center of Western New York, appear in the February issue of Metabolism. 'This new observation is important because it provides the molecu lar basis for the known vasodilatory effects of insulin," Dandona noted.

"The lack of insulin or resistance to the action of insulin will cause the vessel constriction and increased aggregation of platelets known to oa:ur in diabetes mellitus, Dandona stated. "Furthermore, the fuct that nitric oxide also may reduce the expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of cells lining blood vessels may prevent cdls from adhering to the vessel lining. This adhesion is one of the initial evmts in arterial hardening and blockage. "Cell adhesion leads to cell activation, generation of free radicals, foam-cell formation and accumulation of foam cells inside vessels, which eventually form a fatty streak," Dandona noted. "This is the first visible sign of atherosclerosis. So we can say that insulin's stimulatory effect on nitric oxide synthii$0 may help protect against hardening of the arteries. " Knowing the molecular mechanism responsible for this action brings us closer to understanding the relationship between heart disease and diabetes, and may enable physicians to make more extensive use of insulin's vasodilatory effect," Dandona said. �february l200f1Nol.31.

'There is a lot of ron cern in the com munit)' that these exposures are important in breast cancer. This study will give us a chance to examine that question systematically.

In the studies, the participants provide a list of aU the places where they have lived, as well as information on other breast-cancer risk factors. The new grant will allow the researchers to enter residentiaJ data into a computer map, along with data on the location of steel mills, chemical factories, gasoline stations, toxic-waste sites and other industrial sites from 1918-80. They then wiU calculate the distance between these sites and the women's homes at the time of birth and menarche. and compare this information for the participants with and without cancer. US researchers also will study whether genetic differences in the body's ability to detoxify potential carcinogens afb:t the risks related to location of their homes. Women with a fast -acting gene can break down and get' rid of tox.ic substances quicker than women with the slowaeting gene.

In response to concerns about the new general-education require ments raised by Judy Adams- Volpe. director of Lockwood Ubrary and SUNY senate representative for the university centers. Salins supponed the new requirements and said that they "can and will be successfuHy implemented... The SUNY Board of Trustees in Dea:mber 1998 adopted a generaleducation cu rriculum for the system's four university centers and 13 four-year colleges that requires candidates for bachelor's degrees to complete at least 30 credit hours of courscwork in mathematics., natural science. social science, American history, western civilization, other world civilizations, humanities and the arts, foreign languages, basic communication and reasoning. and tnfonnation management. While trustees left the responsibility for establishing specific course requirements and program contmt to each institution, SUNY facu lty Others worried about transfer stu· dents from community colleges and waiven. Salins said the colleges and uni versity centers will be required to offer 30 credits as outlined by the Advisory Task Force on General Education, while community colleges will have 'to offer at least 21 of those credits. He explained that stu· dents transferring from a community college will be expected to complete the additional nine credits at the transfer institution. Volpe noted that "aU of the university centers arc retaining in place thro'ugb we will be pleased with the results," he added. Volpe also raised concerns about distana:-learning issues, suppon for graduate students and the increase in the numbers of adjunct professors and graduate students and its impact on teaching effroiveness. She said many faculty members are con· cemed about intdlectual-property rights and copyright issues concerning courses designed specifically for distance learning, and pointed out that "dialogue and po~cy development is greatly needed within SUNY at this rime" regarding these issues. Salins agreed that inteUectual - property issues need to be addressed and that rules must be developed collectively. He recommended that campuses purchase distana:-learning courses from the institutions at which the course originated through some agreed-upon financial ar· rangement, allowing institutions that create such courses to generate someft'Vetlue.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Flawed software restricts access to data Host On-Demand problem called most challenging technology crisis in IT history ay MAltA MCCOINHI5 Reporter Assistant Editor A fundamentally flawed new .software package that is inhibiting staff . . members from accessing crucial data on the university's mainframe has UB facing what could be the most challenging tech nology crisis in its IT history. Approximately 1,500 UB users. mostly professional staff, depend on a recently instaUed IBM software package, Host On- Demand (HOD). to condua critical, day-to-day operations of the university. The produa is designed to allow secure, Webbased access to the institution's core administrative applications.. such as the Student Information Systemwhich includes records and registration, student accounts and admissions data---as well as BARS (Buf- fulo Administrative Records System), the universitY's financial system that links to the Office of the University Controller in Albany. Bur tJB users. most of whom converted to the new system by Jan. I , cannot consistently conduct necessary transactions or inquiries because the ability of the software to process login requests is serio usly flawed, said Hinrich Martens, associate vice president for computing and information technology. He said that CIT has been work ing with IBM to address the problem , and he anticipates a break through within the next two weeks. The problem at one point escalated to a "level of frust ration that can't be described," said Martens. who explained that the program is restricting access because it isn't rec- ognizing users. "Even if HOD does recognize the user when he or she attempts to log in, the process. whiCh shouldn't take m o re than 10 sec onds. is sometimes taking up to 10 minutes." And while the system currently IS stable, UB continues to "walk o n tlun ice," according to Martens. "We're m a mode of operation where we can survive, but it 's being held together with band-aid.'i and lots of crossed fingers," he admitted. 'The system could crash m at any LHne. There are no guarantees that it won't." HOD replaced the software pack ages that formerly were used be cause vendo r support was no longer available and th e packages were not Y2K-compliant. But the university also needed an effective link to en· able access from today's networked , desktop computers to UB's o lder mainfram e system- a system ·that uses applications that are more than I0 years old Martens said such systems are con sidered "ancient .. in the computing world because the appli ~ ca tions are no t compliam with ll i."W access technologies. According to a press releast issued by IBM mluly 1999, the company's new product "' helps compa ni es quick.Jy and easily bring new life to existing host applications and data with no additional programming." HOD translates desktop-computer commands into language that US's IBM mainframe can understand. Therefore. all o f US's major admin lStrativeapplications require HOD to access the university's mainframe. Because HOD downloads from a Web server. it provides host access at each workstation without having tn install software on every desktop. Triggle urges rise in sponsored money know what our budget is." Triggle By MARA MCCOINHI5 Reporr~r Assistant Editor W HILE David Provost Triggie promised to stay away from .. bud get talk" during Tuesday's ..Aca~ demic State of the University" address, he made one point very clear: UB must increase its income from sponsored programs and philan thropic activities. Speaking to members of the Faculty Senate, university administrators and other facuh'y and staff members, Triggle said he has been accused of "focusing excessively on budget matters in the last year to the exclusion of academic matters" and noted that he even received an anonymous, typed copy of the Oscar Wdde quotation: "A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." "T he reality is that we need to thinking about ways in which the institution can increase its income. In discussing the university's past. so me areas, th e institutiOn co mes o ut somewhere nea r the middle for o thers and almost at the bottom in others. according to Trigg.le. However, he pointed o ut that of 32 pub lie universitie:. in the As.sociat1on o f American Universities. UB ra nks near the bottom for sponsored-program expenditures and is 31 of 32 in terms of volun tary support. A chart of UB's research expen diturcs showed UB with S61.3 million in direct expendii'Urcs in 1992 - present and future position in the 93 and a projected SSS.S million for world of higher education, Triggle 1999-2000. "A5 you can see," said Trigs.Lc. "we have been esse nti all y in a static mode for a number of years. We have not been growing our spon sored -program expenditures sig nificantly at all. In fact, if you take into account scientific and technological inflation, which typically runs 2 to 4 percent a year, then these numbers would show a decline in respo nded. "We do need to live within our budget We do have to know what things cost and where we are spending our money"Qd, in particular, we need to make priorit y decisions about how we alloca l<.' those resources." He emphasized that UB needs to spend a significant amount of time said he thinks UB continues to strive to be "a significant research -driven university." He discussed some of the param eters used to rank public - r~arch universities and how UB fared in those ca tegories., showing that there exists a variety of ways to compare oursc.lves to peer universities. While UB currently ranks high in \ o ur spo nsored ~ program activity. This is a significant warning, tn m y opinion, that we need to do a great deal more in this particular area."

There are two things that I'm actively involved in right now. One is looking to see whether there are people in the community who are in the early stages of <!Moping new businesses and whether, with my background in management and with the cooperation of some other people who are in similar circumstances to myself, we can get involved with these people and try to make a difference in the way these businesses a re growing. These people are a little bit beyond startup-they're in phase 2.1n other words, they have the idea, they've got it off the ground,sort of. Bu~ in fact, from my experience, very few inven· tors or ideas have the management disciplines to t.ili their business to the next stage. So I'm trying to evaluate ideas that are good and have gotten off the ground and how myself and other colleagues can bring our management disciplines to bear to take them onto the next stage. The other area I'm involved in is " Herd in Buffalo;· this idea of creatiog these individual fiberglass buffalocs-bighly decorated by Jo.. cal artis~d placing them all over the city as a tourist attraction and as a means of generating money for Roswell Park Alliance, the Burchfield Penny and others. - d i d JOU get lnYOived with theUBC-7 Bill Greiner had S<l up some time ago an activity-the Buffalo Prtsidenrs Board ofVasitoro- as an advisory committee.

One reason they want to see it, she says, is because Berman's carefully ob- m vised and enlarged 1842 edition of "Deh-he-wa-mis: or, A narrative of the life of Mary Jemison." A white woman from Western New York, Jemison was taken captive and then adopted by the Seneca. She chose to remain among them for the rest of her life and, in doing so, became part of regional and Seneca lore. An original edition of L<wis H. Morgan's book "League of the Hode-no-sau-nee,orlroquois" ( 1851 ) is interesting, Spencer says, because it contains a map and explanatory chart of corresponding English and Indian names. Berman's was a career of prodigious accomplishment. Besides teaching human-rights law, he published and lectured widely, main tained a private law practice in In dian law and, from 1978 to 1981 , served as attorney for the Indian Law Resource Center in Washington, D.C.

Hospitals also performed best in networks that had relatively loose rules governing relations between me m bers-wh ic h might a llow more fl exibili ty in response to changes in the organization's environment--and in arrangements in which the number of shared activi- H ties between members was limited to a select -few. The st udy, headed by Eric Nauenberg. assistant professor of social and preventive medicine and a specialist in health eronomics, appears in the current issue of the quarterly Mediml Care Research and Review. "As the biggest play<rs in health care networks, hospitals should take note of these findings," Nauenberg said. "The structural features of a network make a difference; merely forming or joining a network does not insure financial health. Finan cial risk-sharing prOved to be an es sential component for improving hospital financial performance in that it tightens the incentive to move forward and work together." Nauenberg and colleagues hy pothesiz.ed that hospitals in highly integrated, highly complex net wo rks that included risk-sharin g would be the best performers. Integration refers to how loosely or tightly the member organizations are ron trolled. Complexity refers to patient -day. Hospitals in moderately inte · grated, minimally compl ex net works turned out to be the best performers, with risk-sharing an essen tial component for success. "The U.S. government has idenu fied networks as a potential mechanism to improve the economic organization of health-care delivery," Nauenberg said. "The hope is that networks will improve the financial strength of health-care-<lelivery systerns, improve access to those systems the number of activities. such as lobbying. financial services, marketing, and contain costs. "This study provides information about which network structures are best in terms oflowering the growth credcntialing, recruitment and education, that are performed by more than one network member. Financial risk-sharing might be characterized as "all fo r one and one for all." In such networks, financially strong members would provide funds for financially troubled members. To test their hypotheses. the researchers surveyed 64 New York State hospitals involved in networks and analyzed each hospital's finan cial performance, based on information from 1991 -95. Performance measures used were operating margin, or net profit; .. throughput" or discharges-per-bed-day, and hospitaJ costs, defined as expenses-per- of costs and improving financial performance. However, future re- search needs to assess the impact of networks on access to care." Also participating in the study were CarolS. Brewer, assistant professor of nursing; Jason W. Osborne, former VB graduate student now at the University of Oklahoma, and graduate students Kisalaya Basu and Mary K. Bliss. The study was suppo rted by the federal Office of Rural Health, th e U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the state Departm\ t of Health.

Thalos has set out to identify a Regional center to tackle public-safety issueS m By JlHNIF£11 LfWANDOWSkl Repotter Contributor T HE Reg ional Co mmu nity Policing C enter (RCPC) is officially open for business a; US. Part of the University Commu n ity ·ln iative (UCI), the center is tackling an issue-public safetythat has been at the forefront of community discussions since UCI began planning its strategy to stabi lize, rebuild and revi!alize !he neigh borhoods surrounding the university's South Campus. Emphasizing thai the RCPC's role is not that of a police agency, coordinator Pamela Bea1 said its aim is to "marry the university resources and issues of community safety in a way thai is useful for police agencies and comm unity." The RCPC is an unprecedemed, cross-j urisdictional collaboration amo n g poli ce age ncies from Amherst, Bu ffalo , Tonawa nda, Cheeklowaga, Buffalo Mu nicipal Housing Aut hority, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and UB, as weU as the Erie County Sheriff's Department, to work on quality-of-life issues in the commu nity. The center provides a venue where poli ce officers will work in partnersh ip with residents, busi nesses, government and social-service agencies to prevent crime and address community problems thai impact on public safety. II is funded by a $70,450 gran! from Erie Coun t y through the County-Municipal Regionalism Program, and a New York State C rime Prevention grant. "Quality of life is absolucely essencialco have a slllble neighborhood ." said Danis Gehl, UCI project director. "Our goal is to stabilize the community. "From Ihe very beginning of the UCI project, public safety came up many times as an issue for residents." said Gehl, pointing oul that this concern on the part of UCI's stakeholders was a driving force in establishing the center. However, collaboration would be a key com ponent of the venture. " Everybody was doing their own thing," said Gehl of law-enforcement agencies. For example, she said, " if there was a ring of car thefts. they would work together. But once that's over, there's no long-term col laboration. "When we sai d, 'Well, where should (the cenler) be, people said che only place il could be was the university," Gehl said. Beal said the cen ter, located in Allen HaU on the South Campus, serves as a place where police from each of the four jurisdiction>-Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda and Amherst---<an meet to discuss issues in "neutral space." "II hap~s to be the cenler of these four jurisdictions.." she said "Geography is destiny." And so il is. The RCPC is moving ahead with new projects, including a speaker series that has featured Thomas Frantz, associate professor and chair of the UB Departmenl of Counseling and Educational Psychology, in coOjunction with the Erie County Probation Departrnenl, speaking on troubled youth. More events that tap into the expertise of university faculty as weU as local experts--such as the Frantz presentation, which drew nearly 80 peopl<>can be expected, she said Beal also helped organize a 12week leadership-<levelopmentseminar for police managers and supervisors al the RCPC. The seminar, sponsored by the Buffalo Police Departmenl arid conducted by the UB School of Managernenl, drew together law-enforcement officers from fiV< police agencies. The center also hosts problemsolving training sessions in which members of block d ubs and community oJ:tilflizations work with police to solve common issues. Sometimes, issues come from outside the RCPC circle but tie into the work of the center, based on the nalure of the problem. One such example is a request from residents fo r training on how to maintain their properties, an issue that was broughl up al a UCI developme nt meeting. A!i Beal points out, the issue definitdy is re- lated to crime prevention. "You can eslablish a property as private or public by the way you design it." she said Even the appearance of disorder, she said, can lead co bigger problems. Beal also hopes to start worlting with area youth by involving them in community and development, which, she said, helps 10 instill in them a sense of pride in and ownership of the area in which they live. She's also in the process of eslablishing a library with information on community policing. neighborhood revitalization and other such issues. In addition, the cenler will be facilimting a needs-assessment survey directed coward issues of safety and security, the findings of which would be discussed in a oommunity forum. "ltJs a way for us to set our priorities," Beal said "(And) it's another opportunity 10 show people how they can use this in problem-solving."

Despite the serious problerru with the product, the university is not considering other alternatives, said Martens, who added that UB is committed to upholding its partnership with IBM . The university has formed a HOD task force of six representatives from CIT headed by Steven Heist, senior information technol - ogy architect, which is working fulltime with IBM representatives to find solutions to the problems. as well as to keep the program up and running at UB with the help of about 35 technical-support ~aisons around the university.

The ratio of managerial employees per faculty (.04S) and non-instructional em - ployees per faculty (.466) at UB are near the bottom of the list for AAU public institutions as well, a fact that Triggle pointed out disproves th e popular notion that certain areas-- such as the fifth floor of Capen Hall--;,re full of support staff.

Baumer explained that the resolution would allow the university to tie the current guidelines for good standing to the requirement for continuation at the universi ty.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Anderson Gallery becomes part of VB Art dealer increases UB support with donation ofgallery building, $2 million trust By SUZANN£ CHAMIIULAIN Reporter Contributor New York City art dealer who surprised the a rt world in 1991 by trading his gallery's Manhattan address for Buffalo's University Heights district now has expanded his vision to include VB. David K. Andmon has donated to UB the Anderson Gallery build ing. with an estimated worth of up to $3 million. and has established a $2 million charitable remainde r trust to assist with gallery mainte- A nance and exhibitions. Anderson, whose previous dona tions to UB include support for the Center for the Arts and the donation of nearly 300 paintings. sculptures and prints with a vaJ ue total ing· mo re than $1.5 milli on, also plans to transfer to the university a substantial part of the Anderson Gallery permanent collection. "When I first saw the abandom.-d school building that would become my Buffalo gallery, located in the student residential section near UB, I bought it with th e intention of shanng it with the univerSity," Anderson recalled. "Now mydre-.1m is coming tru e as we marrr the university's diverse educauonal re sources and student enrhusrasm with a gallery space and a significant art collection to achu~·ve a synergy of imagery and technology for a fu . ture that we can only imagine." The Anderson Gallery, located on Martha Jackson Place off of Englewood Avenue, houses an international c.oUection of 20th-century art or, as Anderson refleaed, "the collection rqJresent'i the sand that fell mto our shoes as we walked all these years buying pieces of art from then unknown artists that we exhibited." The multi-million-dollar collec L1on began with Anderson's mother, Martha Jackson, whose New York City gallery helped to establish Ab · stract Expressionism as an interna tional an movement in the early and mid- 1950s.

The ..,...-d willfi:nd T<Search support for five new faculty members and capital equipment for a new Center for Single-Molecule Bio· physics, as well as facilities for that center and a new Center for Genomics and Proteomics. UB in recent years has invested nearly $9 million in building renovations and equipment purchases that are vital to the two new centers, ln addition to providing more than $2 million annually in salary to fuc · ulty members associated with the programs. The review of UB's grant request to the institute noted that "the in stitut ion h as undergone recent growth. and extramural (external ) grant support has increased signifi· cantly - evidence that this is an institution rapidly on the rise." Forty-one medica] schools were selected for funding through the institute's Biomedical Research Sup- T port Program for Medica] Schools from 105 that submitted proposals. US's award is the second· largest in the program. Only UCLA School of Medicine, the Un iversity of Michi· gan Medical School and Yale Uni· versity School of Medicine-which each received $4 milli o n-were granted more funding. Bruce Holm , se nio r associate dean in the medical school, is project director on the grant. President William R. G reiner, an· nouncing the funding, noted that the grant "is a vital component of our medical sc hool's long -term plans for its research centers in biophysics and genomics-programs in which UB already has made con· siderable investments. "Substantialoutsidefundingsuch as this grant," Greiner added, "provldes recognition of the important work that UB is doing in these fidds, :md enhances our stature as one of America's major research universities"We a rt" most grateful to th e Howard HughC'S Medical Institute fo r its support , and we're looking forward to exciti ng discoveries in biomedicine from our faculty researchers." John Wright , dean of the medical school. ~id he is thrilk-d to receive the award. "This is no ordinary gram award." he noted. " It reflects welt. not onlv on the qualitv of Bruce Holm's pro posa.l, but also on the university and its reputation . In this year's cycle, more than I00 applications were presented to the Howard Hughes Medical institute and few of the 4 1 funded submissions approachC'd our funding level. "In making the award to VB. the Howard Hughes Medical Jnstitutt· n:· viewcrscitedanumberofstrengths." Wright said .. ln addition to the qual iry of the proposal itself, US's rommitment to the two centers was specifically noted, as was the school's recent growth in extramural grant suppon . The institute cited UBas'an mstitutionrapid.lyontherise.'encouraging words indeed. We congratulate Dr. Holm and the faruJty for this out standing achievement."

In papm presented recently in San Francisa> at the annual meeting of the Amcri<an Geophysical Union, UB volc=ologists show how,insomecases,softspotson volcanoes that simply collapse from the side may trigger mudflows that potentially can be more devastating than eruptions. "This is the frightoning part about it. These volcanoes don't even have to erupt They just. sit there and a pan of it comes roaring off,"' said Michael F. Sheridan, professor of geology and lead researcher. .. Our findings show us that we have to pay more attention to these older volcanoes that have been sitting around for awhile. son of stewing in their ow n jui ces," said Sheridan. He explained that as these hydrothermal Huids circulate, they change the structure of the rocks and minerals, softening the volcanoes and making them more vulnerable to collapse. "That explains why so many vol canoes are usually kind of craggy and steep nea r th e top," he said. "They get that way when soft parts slump or a big slab breaks off, leaving a cliff face." Sheridan said this new realization about thedangm that volcanic mud flows present to populations is particuJarlyrelevant because more toWnS are being built Dn volcanic slopes. And that is the case not just in Mexico and other countries known for their volcanoes, but in the U.S. as wtll "Avalanches and mudflows could be a big issue for Mt. Rainjer in WashingtOn for <XlUTiple." he said. "'Tb.ere's a lot of pressure in the ~· attic and Taooma areas to start new developments that extend right up into the mountains, but people are building subdivisions in areas that, in the not too distant past, were overcome by mudflows. People are not willing to accept the concept that this is a really dangerous area." Sheridan said he and his col · leagues are applying to volcanoes concepts about hydrothermal alteration that were developed in the 1970s for the purposes of exploration for economically important mineral deposits. Alteration zones and weaknesses in rock structures were targeted then as places to search' for these minernls. Now these weak areas, which UB researchers are pinpointing using satellite data, are turning out to be red Hags that could be the source of mudflows so deadly they can travel as far as 80 miles from a source and are capable of wiping out whole towns and villages. Sometimes, when a piece of a vol· cano comes loose, an avalanche is triggered. "Avalanches in themselves can be disastrous," Sheridan noted, "but th ey don't travel nearly as far as mudflows and they are confined to relatively steep slopes, whereas a mudflow will go for miles. This is where the real danger lies; if you have a really tall volcano and all that energy is driving a mudflow, it could be devastating." Dangerous mudflows d evelop when day is present in the material derived from the volcano's slopes. Although the sprtng semester h•s just gotten under way, first pape rs are right around the corner.

UB researchers use spectrometers mounted in aircraft or satellites 10 collect data about the volcano's sur- face that will help to pinpoint soft spots. This data is interp reted to outline hazard zones for potential mudflows or lahars. So fur, Sheridan and his team have unroveredalarmingsofi spo<s on Piro Orizaba, the highest mountain in Mexico. and have mapped areas of potential mudflows at Coli ma, Mexico's most active volcano. "11lat data is going to surprise a lot of people," said Sheridan. "When we started our work on Pico, we were told by geologists in Mexico who had studied the volcano that we would not find any spots there. that there simply wasn't any alteration there. In the end, we found alteration everywhere." While Vera Cruz, the nearest large city with a population of 2 million, is not in danger, Sheridan said that other cities that are closer to the volcano, with populations of around 150,000 or 200,000, are threatened. The conclusions of this research stem in part from tJ:ae UB scientists' visit to Nicaragua last fall after torre nti a l ra infall from Hurricane Mitch triggered devastating mudBows that killed about 1,600 people. "Nicaragua was a rea l eye opener," said Sheridan. "There was such a smaU catchment basin where the rain accumulated, but because the conditions were favorable for this kind of event , a massive, tragic mudflow resulted. These areas are at extremely high risk if people are living nearby," he said.

The new assessment, carried o ut by Eric Nauenberg. assistant professor of social and preventive medi cine in the School of Medicine and Bio medi ca l Scien ces, employs a method called input -output analysis that is designed to account for the Interdependence of different industries and between business and consumers. Na uenberg's findin gs. published as a special report in a recent issue of State Tax Notes, contradict those of the to bacco industry, which have clai med that in creasing cigareu e taxes has a negative impact on a state's econo my. "Those studjes assume that re sources used in the production and distribution of cigarettes would not be shifted elsewhere in the economy," Nauenberg states. "What actually occurs in most instances is that the varuum created by declining tobacco sale< is filled by demand for other goods and servia!s, When these dynamiaareindudedinstudies,thcre is strong evidence that the overall economic impact of dediningcigaretteoonsumption is positive." Nauenberg noted that this assessment is particularly applicable in no n -tobacco - producing states, where half of the dollan spent o n tobacco products go back to the states that grow and process tobacco. He re(erred to a Michigan study that showed a large portion of the dolian not spent on tobacco were used to purchase goods and services produced in -state, boosting its own economy. He said he would expect the same to be true for New York and other non-tobacco-producing states.

Using this figure, a1ong with 1996 data from 528 different industries in the in put-output analysis for New York State, the results prediaed: • A decrease in cigarette consumption of a low of 81 million packs to a high of701 million packs per year. • A $17 million to $148 million increase in the value of state industriaJ output over the next severaJ years foUowing implementation • An increase of between 460 and 2,008 jobs. Nauenbe:rgsaidthisinput-output analysis confirmed the findings repon<d elsewhere using the standard costly method; that is, if any economic change occurs due to re duced tobacco consumption, it is likdy to be positive. An increase in state sales tax would not have a negative effect even in states whee sav<r<:ign Jndian nations can ...U cigarettes at a much Jowerpria:beausetheydon't charge state or federal tax , Nauenberg said. '"Those sales are bound to increase when the state tax goes up. but even though the state isn't collecting taxes on those sales, -it isn't really a loss because that money comes back into the state economy througbpur~ofgoodsandStT- vices. The Indian reservations aren't self- sufficient. lbat money goes in and comes out again."" Nauenberg n'Oted that decreased consumption of tobacro lYOuld reap additional long-term economic benefits for the state through Jess loss of lif< due to lung disease and other tobacco-related illness; fewer hou~ fues caused by smoldering cigarettes. and a reduction in teen smoking. which would lower health costs for decades to come.

UB design allows roof to respond to quakes By ELllH _coLD_ B AUM News Serv~ces Ed•tor T wasn't apparent to passengers landing on the inaugu ral flight at Istanbul 's brand new international airport earlier this month, but the roof of the massive terminaJ building features a unique approach to seismically modernizing the structure foUowing last swnmer's devastating quake. The massive, 800 foot -long by 500-foot -wide roof is th• fust to feature both the ability to respond to seismic forces as a single, structural unit and the ability to expand and contract in response to exposure to the sun. The conceptual designs for seismic moderni.J..a.tion of the airport we re de velop ed by Michae l C. Constantino u, professor and chair of th e Department of Civil. StructuraJ and EnvironmentaJ Engineering and a researcher with the Multidisciplinary Center for Earth quake Engin e ering Research (MCEER ), and coll eagues at th e University of California at Berkeley and LZA Technology of New York City, the consulting engineers retained to modernize the stru cture following the magnitude 7.4 quake. I "The structure had onJfsustained mino r damage during the earthquake," said Constantinou , .. but con s idering the certainty with which they expect another largemagnitude earthquake with an epi center closer to the airpon, the desire was to improve the performance level of the structure to one that en sures the safety of people inside, and even beyond that" The airpon was under construetion at the time of the quake, which was the main reason it sustained the damage, Constantinou explained. "Since repairs had to be made, it pro vided the opportunity to seismically modernize," he said. According tQ Constantinou, the third -story Columns that suppon the roof were the most vulnerable link in the existing structure. The objective was to reduce earthquake forces on both the supponing columns and roof. To increase the builcting's performance level, he added, the engineers had two options. " Either we could increase the strengthofthebuildingorwecould reduce the seismic demand on it, which i.s noteasytodo."hesaid "We decided we had to do both." The modernization scheme consisted of three steps: increasing the strength of the second- and thirdstorycolumnsbysteel-jachtingthe columns, seismically isolating the roof to reduce seismic demand on third-story columns and installing " lock-up devices" at roof expansion joints. The design by Constantinou and his colleagues involved slicing the columns horizontally ;it thetopand installing "friction pendulum" devices manufactured by Earthquake Prote<:tion Systems of Richmond, Calif. These devices, which were . tested extensively at UB, are de signed to allow structures or struc· tural components to swing gently from side to side, like a pendulum. "This has not been done before." saidConstantinolL "Whatwedidwas to tie together the segments of thls 800-foot-long roof together as they sit on top of these isolation devices. This gives the roof the ability tQ 'swing' as much as 12 inches with r<specttotheoolumnsduringanearthquake,thusprotectingthecolumns." At the same time, the roofs directexposuretothesunnecessitated the use of expansion joints that could accommodate thermal move- ment without inhibiting seismic protection. The solution came in the form of .. lock-up devices"' manufactured by Taylor Devices, a Western New York firm that has had a long collaboration with the Department of. Civil. Structural and Environmental Engineering and MCEER Now, instead ofhavinga rigid conoection between the roof and the columns, the segments of the building's roof will stay flexible in response to thermal fOrces, while at the same time featuring an ability to ..lock up"' as one piece when subjectedtoearthquakefurces.Onceactivated by seismic activity, the lock· up devices essentially overri<k the expansion joints, allowing the roof panels to respond as a single unit lltissystem, asweUasthe&iction pendulum devi=. was extensively tested and optimized through ool laborations with UB and MCEER Constantinou's team "was as sembled by LZA T<ehnology, which was under contract to the Turkish developer TEPE-AJCFEN-VTE and theconstructionconsultaritTurner lntemational of New York City to seismically modernize the airport structure. Help offered for job seekers with disabilities By MARA MCGINNIS Reporter Assistant Editor new law that will allow millions of disabled people to work without losing health benefits has made a new book by a UB career-planning expcn an especiaJly valuable-and timely- resource for those with disabilities. Disability groups estimate that more than 2 million people will take advantage of The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999, which expands Modi - A care and Medicaid benefits to include disabled people while they work. "Job Search Handbook for People with Disabilities," (JIST, 1999) by Daniel ). Ryan, director of the Office of Career Planning and Placemeilt, offers these new job seekers a comprehensive resource that explores specific job-search issues fa ced by people with disabilities and offers step-by-step instructions to help them promote themselves into their career choice. Ryan serves as chair of the career-planning. special- interest group of the Association for Higher Education and Disabilities and the career-services t<ehnology chair for the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. A lifetime advocate for people with disabilities, Ryan says that the new law is a great triumph for people with disabilities, but that discrimination against them still exists in today's workforce. "These individuals not only have to compete against all other applicants fo r jobs, they also must overcome the hurdle of convincing oth- \ ers-and sometimes themselvesthat they are capable, valuable workers," he explains. ln the book. Ryan encourages read= to address issues relating to -!heir disability, but stresses that they should play only a very minor role in the overall job search. Th• book also cxno= the rights and protection the law provides to disabled perrons and identifies agmcies and governmental programs that provide assistance, as well as offering tips on how to negotiate for speciaJ accommOdations on the job. �January2U,ZIIOOIVIII.ll.IG 16 llepariM Obituaries Bertha Cutcher, pioneered disabilities programs Bertha Cutcher, who pioneered S<TVices and progr.uru to make UB more accessible for ,individuals with disabilities, died Dec. 23 in Kaleida Health-Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital foUowing a brief illness.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Let's Play! project offers tips for toy-buying Infants and toddlers with disabilities need toys that are engaging, fun to use By EllEN GOLDBAUM News Services Editor I S the re an infant or toddl er with a disability on your holi day gift list? If so, you might be interested in some advice from Susan Mistrett. director of the Let's Play! project at UB. which uses assistive technologies and interactive strate- gies to help disabled children to play. "Like any child, kids with disabilities need toys that are engaging and fun to use, and should be matched to the child's likes and interests," Mistrett says. "At the same time, toys can help move them along to a new developmental stage." However, ch ildren's disabilit ies • Large buttons or switches that make them easy to hold and operate "Families with nonnally developing children see play as what kids do," said Mistrett, "whe=s, unfortunately, for children with disabilities, play is often not determined by the child, but tends to be 'put these squares in these holes'" she says. "That's directing, when, in fact, you want to be fucilitating, you want to create a play envi ronment for the child in which he or she is suca:ssful by making toys easy brate. Also, they should respond to the child's action, whether it be with motivates them to retrieve them. sound, light or tactile sensation.

President William R. G reiner said he is ho peful fo r two reasons: the likelihood that Robert King, budget director for the State o f New Yo rk, wiU be appointed as the new SUNY chancello r, and the budget request for 2000-200 1 recently ado pted by the SUNY Board of Trustees. " If that budget were to be taken mto the executive budget by the governo r, that wo uld practicaJJy assure its passage I believe, and this campw would d o very, very well " si.nce it would cover salary incrCascs, provide fo r inflatio nary fundin g and q uality improvements. G reiner explained. He added that if Kin g was appointed chanceUo r. it would be "a very good appoinunent" since the univcr· sity needs "a politically astute leader." Mo rt..'O ver, he hopes that since King cu rrcntiy is involved in budget nego-tiatio ns with the governo r, ''something good will happen bctv.'l'Cn now and when he assumt.'S o ffice." Provost David Triggle addressed tht· assessm ent of this yea r's budge-t D shortfuJ.I in the academic units. "The objective was not to go back and try to fix past injustices o r past things which were done erroneously," he sa id. "' Ra ther, it was to esta blish where we currently stand in en roll ment trends. research trends, etc., fo r each unit and to establish a set of negotiations with d eans and chairs fo r what the future m ight ho ld." To this end, Triggle said he had d»velo ped a set o f "challenging, b ut potentially (ealizable scenario s fo r future change." Triggle emphasized the importance of the university's transition this year to an incentive-based bud get model giving individual units control over their own budgets and respo nsibility for generating their o wn revenue sources.

Mini-med-school director.; Harry Suitt and Alan Reynard, with Ute aid of a grant from the Division of Public Service and Urban Affairs. devd oped a four-part lecture series on subjects chosen by the high-school students who signed up to participate. ll1e lectures were held in October and November in Farber Hall on the: South Campus, site of regular mini-mcd -schoollectures. A total of 76 high -school students attended. As always, the leaures were taught by se nior fa culty: Stephen Edge , dinical associate professor of surgery (cancer ); Alan Lessc, associate professor of medicine, pharmacal - ogy and toxicology, and rnicrobiol· ogy (infectious diseases); Susan Graham, associate proftsSOr of medi cine/cardiology (heart diseasc),and Jerald R.

Hoping to garner interes t and support from parents., Suh z, who will retire this mon th as a professor of social and preventive medicine. and Reynard, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, required each student to bring at least one parent to the lectures. .. Having the parents involved will provide support for the students at home," said Sultz. "Supportive parents also help teachers guide stu · dents into their choice of careers, and our ultimate goal is to interest kids in science and science careers." The second phase of the program will take place in this spring when the students will present the information to sophomores at their high schools. Suitt and Reynard are duplicating materials used during the lectures to pass along to the student panicipants. In a fo ll ow- up mini - research project , the panicipants' scien ce tea chers will co mpare students ' grades before and after taking part in the program to determine if thei r participation was (elated to im proved academic performance.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

WIAVU Repotttr Contributor A DOLESCENTS strive to find and define themselves, fit in with their peers, explore their world and have fun. In an ef- fort to do this. some teens engage in riskybehaviors,suchasdrinking, using drugs and having unsafe sex. Parents are concerned when their children take part in such behaviors and want to know how they can identify these behaviors and intervene quick.Jy. With the help of a $2.74 million grant, researchers at UBand Lhe University'ofMissouri - Columbia are taking steps to find so me answers. Kurt Dermen, a senior scientist in U B's Research Institute on Addicuons, and Lynne Cooper, a former member of the UB psychology fac · ulty and now a professor of psychol· ogy at the University of Missouri, recently received the grant from the NationaJ Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a division of the NationaJ Institutes of Health , to continue their research on risk-tak- ing behaviors during adolescence and young adulthood Dennen and Cooper have been traddng a group of more than 2,000 young people for the past decade to detnmine what factors contribute to risk-taking and how~uch behaviors affect their adjustment in life. The grant will fund a third wave of inter· views with the study participants. "'We hope to find out where these people are now in their lives, and determine how decisions they made as teen-agers have inOuenced their life paths," Cooper said. "For example, although many adol~cents take risks, most of them change their behavior patterns as they grow older. An important focusofthisstudywill be to identify sub-groups of individuals who do and don't change, and to determine how these subgroups differ from each other. In this way, we can develop a better understanding of the meaning and func tion risk-taking serves for adolescents. and when or for whom taking risks is entirely dysfunctional." Cooper began the study 10 years ago with interviews of 2,052 teen - agers living in Buffalo. About five years later, 90 percent of these young people were re -interviewed. ..At the time of the second interview, many of the participants were leaving home for the first time, be- ginning new relationships and starting to work, " Cooper said ... We looked at their earlier involvement in risky behaviors to determirie whelher having engaged in these behaviors predicted their current lifestyles. However, because involve ment in many of these behaviors continues to increase well into the 20s, it was too soon to tell what the longer-term effects of these experiences would be. So the next wave of interviews will be very important in terms of our ability to look at the longer-term influences of risk -taking on life course and adjustment." Once the data are collected and analyzed, Dermen and Cooper hope parents and mentors of teenagers will l;>e able to use the research to better understand why their chil dren take risks and how to intervene before these behaviors become life · lo ng patterns. ~~~~tis 5!!~on~!!~~J~E~~~a Newt Servkes Editor F OR t hose who long to sleep beneath the desert stars of an antique Land, the Bedou ins await you in their spangled camp.

Cedric Smith, professor of pharmacology and tox icology. added that t h e nu m ber of st u de n t s Students and faculty members asked why final-exam schedules couldn't be posted before the stan of classes. Goodman said that would be impossible because of the need to eliminate conflicts for students based o n data compiled after the drop/add period. compounded by a particularl y severe shortage of large das.o;rooms preferred by fa culty for giving exams. Senators also noted that due to the ttght s pace in some lecture rooms. faculty memhers often must schedule t.')mms during the semes ter at odd hours so they can admin ISter tht.· exam in a largc:r room to p revent cheaung. a soluuon that creates conflicts for students with thc1r otherclas..o;es.

President William R. Greiner. re.:ogn izing that .. the instructional e n -~ vi ronment is important," suggested that classroom problems be taken to Michael Dupre, associate vice presi · dent of university facilities and chair of the Environmental Task Force, who could assign some of his key staff members to work with the concerned UB community members to address these issues. Greiner also noted that there had to be one key person assigned within eacb of the major schools to be responsible for taking care of such problems, since some of these things"can't be solved by a committee."'

"Computer knowledge is essen tial for every child today," she says. " Educational games give us a variety of tools to teach computer skills and help ltids gain access to hundreds of educational opportunities in many disciplines." Flanagan says she hopes that "The Adventures of Josie True:" is just the first of many computer games to propel pre-adolescent girls into th e 21st century anned with the tools necessary to navigate the immense field of knowledge open to them via educational technojpgy. "If we continue to rely on the marketplace to direct access to com puter technology, we arc denying equal access to girls. the poor and wo rking classes and to people of color," she says. " ln doing that, we continue to rob ou~lves of the in- tellectual and creative talents of the majority of our population.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He added that having such a documen_t lS "in the best legaJ mtercsts of the institution becauM:. without it, tht.· mstitution i3 at risk" James Holstun , associate profes sor of English, brought up several lOncerns. First, he said, the draft makes no mention of "sexual ha rassment on the basis of sexual on entation," which he descri hcd as ",1 pretty sig nificant omission. "This strikes me as o ne of the most important and v1ciou:> fonn3 of sexual harassment that we haw hl confront now," he added .

Roughly one-lhird of the population is either overweight or obese. Someone is considered to be overwdght if his or her weight is 10 percent or more above the ideal body weight. Someone is co nsidered to be obese if they weigh more than 20 percent above the ideal body weight.

But it is hard for Americans, who are used to spreading butter on their food, to ]ower fat in their di ets. While fat-free products may appear to be the answer, manufac- turers have to substitute something in these foods in place of the fat. That usually is carbohydrates. If you increase carbohydrates, you increase triglycerides, or fat in the blood, which leads to arterioscle- rosis and contributes to obesity. Moreover, fat-free products do not fill you up like p roducts that con tain fat. So you eat more of them, consuming more calories. It is best to have a balanced djet that cuts · the total number of calories. And the way to cut calories is to eat less or expend more energy by enrdsing. But we all know that's easier said than done! atherosclerosis. It puts too much stress on the kidneys. It lacks several essential nutrients, s~ch as vi tamins and minerals. The elimination of carbohydrates from.the diet induces ketosis and acidosis, which could affect the function of several tissues. Diets rich in proteins are more expensive than balanced di ets. The diet lacks fiber, which plays a role in prot:tction from colon cancer and diverticulosis.

UB's Institute for Local Governance and ll.eg.ionaJ Growth yesterday released "State of the Region: Performance Indicators for the Buffalo-Niagara Region in the 21st Century at a press co nference and meeting of regional leaders and decision-makers. According to the rcpon, tht.• state of the region's economy is summarized as .. well -diversified, but laggi ng in job growth and weekly earnings... with "business costs high, living costs average .. and .. foreign expons and patent A production strong and rising." The state-of-government sum mary finds .. promising trends in fi. nanciaJ reporting, non -tax financ ing, service collaborations and voter enroUment," with service costs in schools and towns "above average" and municipal debt "increasing." ln the area of education, pre-Kprogram access is"insufficient"and student performance in elementary, middle and high school is "above state a~rages," according to repon findings. The summary cites the region's major education concerns 10 be meeting Regents standards, minority dropout rates and teacher diversity. It alsO determines that stud · · high ed · ent retention m er ucatJon "'requires attention." In addition , lntemet lnfrastructure and connections are '"advanc· ing." while '"performance lags" in personal computer vse, Web presence and prevalence of technologybased firms. according to the exccu · tive summary. The report was developed by II task forces comprising more than 200 members from across Western New York and Southern Ontario. "What drives the "State of the Region' project is the axiom that 'You can't manage what you can't mea sure,'" said John B. Sheffer, II, insti tute director, who called the repon "an unprecedented tool " fo r Buffalo-Niagara. "A critical and distinctive aspect of the repon is that it not only measures essential aspects of regional performance, but also suggests ways for different sectors of the community to jointly manage those aspects of our performance and promote regional excellence." President Wi ll iam R. Greiner added: .. This kind of universitycommunity connection is a natural for UB. T he university offers re sources to do the analysis that the "State of the Region' project entails. we serve as a neut ral forum for regionwide collaboration, and we have an ongoing commitment to serving the region." The 27 S-page repon presents 98 indicators of regional quality oflife across II key subject areas: economy, education, environment, equity, government, health, human services, planning and land use, pechublic Isafety, dreginfiional and 1 · no ogy an ormatl~n. Kathryn A. Foster, assoaate pro\&. f lan . d di f ,essor o p . mng an rector o a_ssets research for the institute, and Barry Boyer, professor of law, who together co-directed the "State of the Region" project, indicated that many of the findings counter common negative perceptions of oonditions in the Buffalo-Niagara region. "l~s a pretty hand-hitting rqx>rt," said Foster. "Where there are dear n~s for improvement- for example, in the strmgth of the region's technology-based business sector, distribution of poverty, teen pregna~cy rates and job growth-' State of the Region' pulls no punches. "On the other hand," she oontinued, "Buffalo-Niagara does well in a number of .....,.._.{or<ign exports. technology infrastructure. support for aru and culture, and environmental cheinical releases." " It's a milistic picture--not uni· formly ~not uniformly. rosy; said Marsha S."Henderson, Western New York district president of Kq Bank and chair of the economy task force. "Most of all, it~s a reminder that we as a region can control our destiny." Gail Johnstone, executive director of the Community Foundation for Greater BuffaJo and chair of the planning and land use ta..Sk force. noted: "'State of the Region' gives our community a baseline we -n'hven't had before. This first report, panicu]arly, is more than just a snapshot of where we arc-it identifies a set of measures the region should look at regularly." A primary conclusion, Boyer pointed out, .. is that we as a region need .to do a much better job of identifying, coDecting and fitting together data at the regional level." Muriel A. Howard, president of Buffalo Stat< College who chaired the education task force, cited regional literacy as an example. "The task forces in both education and human services were interested in assessing liuffalo-N'oagara's levels of literacy, but the data we needed weren't available.· She added that good data on bias crimes. which both the equity and public safety task fOrces w= seeking.als!> was lacking.

Identifying the molecular basis of such a linkage could lead to ad · vanccs in diagnosis and treatment of the disorder, which affects mil· lions of people worldwide. The gran t to Carlos N. Pato and Michele T. Pato. associate professors of psychiatry and co-di rectors of the UB Laboratory of Psychiatric and Molecular GeOctics, was announced Mo nday at a press conference by President William R. Greiner. The Patos are conducting their research with the relatively homo· geneous population of the Azores. Portuguese islands located in the North Atlantic about 1,000 mil<> off the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. This same population forms the study base for their search for genetic markers for schizophrenia, a $2.6 miUion project also funded by the NIH. now entering its third year. "We are delighted that professors Carlos and Michele Pato have received this grant for their ground· breaking research on the possible genetic components of bipolar dis· order, a condition that affects so many people worldwide," Greiner said. "This award from such a prestigious funding source as NIH rec ognizes the irnponant work bemg done by UB medica l researcher1o such as the Patos. ..

"Earthquakes, fo r example, hit with a bang. and then they may riot M ENTION the nation's most damaging natural disasters and most people prob - ably think of earthquakes and floods. Wind probably isn't even on the list. But it should be, according to Michael Gaus, professor of civi l, structural and envi ro nmental engi neering and president of the Ameri can Association of Wind Engineer Ing, since the most vuJncrablestruc tures arc low-rise buildings, such as n:sidcnccs. To focus attention on wind and the mass ive amount of damage it ca uses every year, Gaus and co lleagues at Texas Tech University arc holding a public-policy symposium, " Reducing Losses from Wind stOmls: 1-lidden Dangers in New and Existing Constructio n,'' today and tomorrow in Washington, D.C. Tht· symposi um is designed to bring together a broad spectrum of public- and priva te-sector partici pants fro m government, architecture, engineering and construction to find common ground o n wtuch tu develop a national plan for wind ha7..ard mitigation. " From a standpoint of wind safety, \VC have millions of defective buildings in the U.S., and most of stf\!ctures usually are quite safe, Gaus noted, because they have been engineered; that is. they have been con· st.ruefed with the oonsultation of pro- fessionaJ engineers. Private homes, however, are "noncnginecred" struc· tures, he pointed out. "If you 're stand ing next to the World Trade Center during a wind storm , you can feel pretty secure," said Gaus. ")wouldn't say the sam e thing if you are standi ng next to your house." According to the insurance industry, recent losses from windstorms and wind -related eve nts, such as hurricanes. tornadOt"S and frontaJ winds. accou nt for an estimated 70 percent of its annual payout for natural · ha7,ard losses. " In Hurricane Andrew, 141.000 fami li es lost everything they ever owned," said Gaus, noting that aft er a week or tv.·o, media attention faded away. Such huge (OSS('S, he said, can be attributed, in part, to the lack o( a serious wind · research program nationwide. which could help establish methods for preventing wind dam · age. "Very little rescard1 has gone on in wind engineering, since there is so little funding for it." he explained. That lack of support ste~from occur again for 12 years." he said "But wind events happen every year, and each year, on average, they destroy or make uninhabitable about 30,000 ho mes or apartments in the US." Gaus, who spent 25 years as an National Science Foundation ad · ministrator, was involved in starting the nation's earthquake-engineering research program in the early 1960s, and hoped to include earthquake hazard mitigatio n in a program looking at all natural hazards, in cluding wind. But after the great Alaskan earth· quake in 1964, Congress allocated a research program for stud yi ng earthquakes, while support for some other natural hazards lagged. While Gaus advocates spet*ling more mo ney on mitigating aiJ types of natural hazards. he noted that annual support from NSF for wind· engineering research has sharply dedined-from about $2 million 5- I0 years ago, to a current level of just $600,000. With so titcle research support, the field is not attracting engineers,leav· ing wind research almost completely neglected in the education and training of future engineers. At the same time, he said, the lack of " improved technical input" for meaningful, enforceable building codes in the nation-also contribu tes to a lack of safety. "Building codes were originaUy intended to provide a minimum code fo r buildings." said Gaus, "but rootractor and suppliers have turned it inte a maximum code. lf you ask a contracto r why he built something a certain way, he will tell you, ' it meets the code,' as though that is the very best standard he needs to meet It's nol It 's the bare minimum." There is a bright spot, Gaus noted. fust last month, the Building Code Congress voted to adopt a new building code that includes greatly improved wind·loading standards. And this week's symposium is designed to initiate the development of an integrated National Wtndstorm H:=rd Mitigation Strategy and Plan. "Once there is a damaging ~nt. the disaster· relief agencies run out to the site and provide relief and assistance," Gaus said, ..but there's no money for studying why the struc· ture feU down in the lim place. With this symposium, we want to come up with an economic approach to making homes and smali buildings more wind-resistant." �November18.1999/VoiJl.

Tracy Gregg. assistant professor of geology, said she thought that the time period statal in the po~cy as "one year after the student is no longer under the faculty member's academic or dinicaJ medkal supervision,.. is insufficient fo r students, particularly in the case of freshmen, to file a complaint.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Childreq are enroUed ages 6 weeks to 5 yeapoin infan~ toddler and preschool programs. Due to (unding from SUNY Central, UBCCC is able to offer a sliding fee scale and gives assistance to lowerincome families through a federal e:u:npus Child Care Block Grant. The UBCCC is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Fanlily Services. The 35 members of the teaching staff at the UB Child Care Center are qualified earlychildhood teachers. The UBCCC is a private. not-for-profit corporation that receives space and assistance from UB. The Early Childhood Re· search Center ( ECRC) is part of the Graduate School of Education and is a laboratory school. It foUows the academic calendar and is open Monday through Thursday, three hours in the morning and afternoon.

Members of the UB Green Office in University Facilities urged mem· bers of the university community to promote these concepts at UB as they kicked off their "think green" campaign this week to raise environmen· tal concerns to a more prominent place on the agenda of the university and its students. faculty and staff. The purpose of "think green" is to encourage campus environmental stewardship and create partnerships between groups on campus in an effort to make campus operations less consuming of natural resources and less polluting of natu raJ ecosystems. At the kick-off reception held Tuesday in the Student Unio n, Wa1ter Simpson, US energy officer, and severaJ other "green thinkers.. outlined some of the efforts of different campus environmental organil.ations on camp~ talked about the goals of "think green" and un· veiled the new comprehensive UB Green Web site located at <http:// www. wing s . buffalo .e du I ubgreen>.

Money's role in politics criticized By MARA MCGINNIS Reporter Assistant Editor R ENOWNED broadcast journalist Bill Moyers told a captivated audi ence in the Center for the Arts Nov. 3 that the "soul of democ racy" has been lost in An1erica to a corrupted political system in which private money ho lds power over pubtic officials. Moyers, who maintained that politics today has become "an arms race with money doing the work of missiles," made a convincing argument that the United States is be- coming an otigarchy where elections are determined by a relative handful of the rich and privileged who decide with their money "who will run, who will win and how they will govern." The second guest in the 13th an- nual Distinguished Speak= Series, Moyers joked about this year's lineup: " I see you have a conservative to teU you how he see. the world, a ijberaJ to tell you how he sees the world, an artist to tell you how she sees the world I'm glad you could have a journalist to come and tell you the truth." To make his case about America's failing democracy, Moyers described several recent incidents that he said show how corporate America pays for congressional decisions made in its favor at the expense of taxpayers. He o utlined how a well - known dothing company took 17.000 jobs from Americans, m oved the com pany out of th e country to avo id MOYDIS U.S. taxes and has spent SSOO,OOO in soft money to buy from Congress an advantage that it has been unable to achieve in the marketplace by ask ing that clothing produced in lowwage countries be allowed to enter the U.S. duty free. He also talked about a recent defense bill passed by Congre.s that he said underhandedly added $5 million in subsidies, tax breaks and special favors for big rorporations, and an other bill passed in a hurry last month that allows certain corporate poUuters not to fully disdose information about toxic chemicals as re- quired by the Environmental Protee· tion Agency. "Low and behold," Moye" said, "the wording in the provision is virtually identjcal to language written by a lobbyist for Chemical Petroleum Manufacturing Association and the American Petroleum Inst itute." He added that the petroleum industry is o ne of the most genero us contributors to congressional candidates in recent elections. " Mon ey and politi cs is a n old story," said Moyers, citing William McKinley's presidential campaign 3.\ the first in which money pla)'cd a significan1 pan in the o utcome of the election. But these days. he sa1d. " th C' lid is off .. in term s of the amount of money spent on ca m paigns. with a $2.1 billion pricetag att ached to the 1996 fed eral elec tion s. Even right ht'Te in Erie County. he added. this year's county executive race cost nearly $3 million. About half o f the money given to congressional candidates co mes 111 checks of $1,000 or more , but it comes from less than one-tenth of I percent of th e population . he pointed o ut . adding that in 1996. the average winner of a congressional seat raised $6 73, 000, the average senator, $4. 3 million . "You have to stan asking ques· tions about the legitimacy of our polit ical system ," Moyers told the audience. "Let's face it.ln a democ - racy based on the ideal ofliberty and justice for all, H is wrong for Lhis small handful of people to have such disproportionate power. "People who have money are free to buy more cars, more vacations, more homes and more gizmos if they want, but they should not be able to buy mo re democracy.

The newly named coordinator of the Regional Community Policing Center on the South Campus has a penchant for col.laboration with law-mforcement agencies where the betterment of th e co~munity is concerned. And how her scholarly research on philosophy and psychoanalysis ties into her line of work isn't such a stretch after all, she says. them in a timely man - P While working on her doctorate in the early 1990s, BeaJ was hired as a research assistant with University ner," BeaJ says. T h e fovr - year project , which ended this past June, was about effecting change among the police"ranks, she says-in part, through conversation. "Language doesn't just reflect reality, it creates reality," says Beal, who spent six months in the fie]d interviewing officers about .. what they thought the direction or vision of the department should be. "'These conversalions produced Police. where she coordinated the Personal Safety Committee and' community policing projects. It was during that time that she change," she says. "(They) gave the police an opportunity to give shape to their own ideas of what needed to happen in the department and, was asked to review a chapter in a book on police leadership authored in general, their ideas were quite progressive. Most said they were con cerned about neighborhood disorder issues and welcomed the communitfs involvement in helping to co-produce public safety." Seal's move from English into 4 by Raymond Hunt, a professor of organizations and human resources in the School of Management. Beat, whose doctoral work included the study of the philosophies of change and effect, began talking with Hunt managemen~and finally law enforce· about policing issues. In the meantime, Seal says.

BcaJ has a lot to do with changt> brought about by LIRP projects. Turnover in the police d epart ment had sparked a call for n.•vit.•w of hiring practices, Beal says.

" People we re very skeptiCal; they didn't think it"\\I'Ould happen . Kerlikowske had expressed interest in working ~Arith the university on organizational changes in the polin· department, pa rti cu larly through community policing. It was to that end that Hunt and Beal receivl-d funding from the Na tional Institut e of Justice to run a Localty Initiated Research Partnershi p ( LIRP ) with Buffalo Police. "The idea was based on action research--that practitioners help dl·sign the research, (which ) evolves over lime according to their needs trajectory,"" she acknowledged.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Budget cut estimated at $4.1 million Greiner calls lack offunding,to cover inflationary costs "honest-to-goodness hit" By SU£ WUlTCHER Reporter Editor 2000. The budget adopted by the legis- A lature for SUNY in August did not include funding to cover inflationary costs, estimated to be S I.

Grein<r Tuesday <Stimated that the univ<:r.iity will suffer a S4.1 million reduction from last year's operating budget. Ln an interview with the Reporter, Greiner dismissed reports circulat:. ing on campus that UB faces nearly S 10 nilllion in budget cuts. In addition to the S4.1 million, UB will take a one-time expenditure reduction of SSOO,OOO this fiscal year forfailingtornakeits 1998-99enroUment target, he said.

G reiner noted that the budget enacted in August did not provide for either inflationary costs o r sa1ary adjustments related to the prior years' bargaining agreements. Bc<ausc of .. the failure of the executive and legislature to agree on a num ber of SUNY issues," which led to the "staJemate," system administra tion has had to iden ti fy one -11me ing . The libraries alone need $500,000 to cover inflationary costs, lion for UB. he said. An alloca tion of$600,000 to cover mflation costs fo r the rest of them stitullon would have been .. helpful ," he said, no ung that the lack of such funding puts US in a "rt-al squeeze." Units across campus will have to H' allocate funds to pay fo r inflation ary costs. he added. Greiner pointed to the implemt·n tat ion of the SUNY Budget Attocal lo n Proces s ( SAP ) - formerlv known as SUNY RAM (R<source Allocation Methodology )-as another factor complicating the budget picture this year. SAP is the incentivebased procrss SUNY has begun us mg to allocate state tax revenue to · the campuses.

Greiner expressed concern about the manner in which the deci - sion was made to put a hold on li - brary purchases and called for more effective internal communication within the university. As the institution fa(e;'Jevere budget const raints, "oneX'of th e things that we are going to have to work on harder than ~:Yer before is understanding that what one unit decides wiU impact and have rami fications for other units and taking that into account in the decisionmaking process," Greiner said. "What we have to avoid is the socalled 'stove-pipe thinking,"' he added. "Information goes up and down the pipe. but doesn't go sideways. And I think (the libraries situ- ation ) is an exa mple of'stovt'-pipe thinking.' Obviously. the ramifica tions of the decision to p ut a hold on book purchases is extraordinary. " I am concerned that we had this matter floating aro und campus for more than a week, and as far as I can tell, it had never risen to a level of discussion with tht· so-calk-d bud get co mmittee of the umversll y, which is me, the semor VKl' presi dent and the provost." G reiner distributed to se nato~ a memo dated Oct. 14 announcing the libraries' hold on purchases from Barbara von Wahlde. director o f University Libraries. and a ll'tt c:r dated Oct. 27 from Valdemar Inn us. senior associa te vice president for university services and chief information officer, announcing that the hold had been lifted. .. , know a great deal about this and there are some pertinent and important facts that I fo~d miss- mg from {the: memo dated Oct. 14 from von Wahlde )," satd Greiner. a correspo ndence, he noted. he had no t seen until nearl y rwo weeks al ter it had been wnttc:n. He referred to th e hold on librar v pu rchases as .. a kmd of mtemal ac tio n o f the libraries tryutg to dt·.li With the fact that , m mtd -Octobc r. there is no official budget , no offi nal state university financ__'ial plan for thts campus. "Internal dec.ision -makmg of thiS kind ... has consequences o n others that perhaps ought to be <ODSid<rcd before you go too far down the G reiner emphasized.

That's when a person needs a friend. And if a human friend isn't avail - able, the four-legg<d variety will do nicely, a study of responses to stress in a group of hypertensive New York City stockbrok<n conducted by UB researchers., has shown. Findings will be presented Sun · day at the American Hean Association annual meeting in Atlanta. Karen AlJen, research assistant professor of medicine, assessed the effect of social support on heart rate, blood pressure and renin reactivity in response to mental stress in a group of 48 stockbrokers, all of whom were being treated with lisinopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE} inhibitor used to treat hypertension. She found that in 24 participants selected at random to add a dog o r cat to their treatment regimen, these cardiovascular measures remained significan tly more stable during stressfuJ situations than in 24 participants in the non - pet -owner group, who served as controls. " When we told the group that when you're under stress, and pet own<rShip is especially good for you if you have a limited suppon system." All of the study participants had liv<d alone for more than five y.an. Allen bas shown in previous studies that a loved pet can exert a calming inlluence on blood pressure and heart rate when the owner is performing standard tasks designed to in<,luce mental and physical stress. Her research also bas shown that pet ownmhip can substitute forhuman companionship and provide physiological benefits similar to that of friends for older women who live alone, often in isolation. Those earlier studies compared existing pet owners with non -pet owners. nus is the first study to assess hyperlensive subjects before and after acquiring a pet, and to assign participants randomly to pet ownership or 10 a control group.

The home measuremen ts were taken after an initiall 5-minute rest period, once a minute during each of two five-minute stress tests and after a IS-minute rest period between tr:sts. Stress tr:sts involv<d performing mental arithmetic and giving a speech. Participants assign<d to pet own<rship had their dog or cat with th<rn during the tr:sts. Results showed that before treatment with ACE inhibiton. the average resting blood pressure was 160/ I04. ACE-inhibitor th<rapy lowered it to an avm~ge of 123/83.

" Thi s doesn't mean that thi s makes the year any easier," he added. " I think we're going to have to do an awfuJ lot of very difficult deci · sion -mak.ing over the balan~ of the year to get th rough a situation in which we have a S4 million tax-support hit," he said. "That's what we are expecting, but we can't say for cenain that it will be $4 million," he added, noting that UB "is still working with SUNY Central" to determine the amount of US's shortfall. Judith Adams· Volpe. director of Lockwood Library, raised a concern about where th~ savings./reduction factor assigned to the libraries would come from this year since in past years. it had no impact on the acquisitions budget because it was taken out of the libraries' personnel budget. But the personnel budget this year is " in the red" and therefore i.s not an option, she noted. Greiner said that "the decision making on that (issue) will not be made in the 'stove-pipe."' These and other budgetary p..OO. lems. according to Greiner, are the product of 13-straight y<=s of budget reductions in one form or another. "What ~ ·re not going to do i.s make decisions on these-types of things in that 'stove-pipe' fashion. We're going to develop a sort of internal communication process much more refined and better than in the past." In response to a concern raised by lockwood librarian Dorothy Woodson about where the libraries-as a chief academic unit of the university-should report, Greiner said announcements will _be made in the nar future by X nior Viet President Raben Wagner and Provost David Triggle regarding that issue. The libraries now report to lnnus, who also oversees Comput ing and Information Technology. In his repon to the FSEC. Greiner also announced that he is working on an .. interpretive essay" that will look at the course of funding for �Budget ~,._ . . . . ~ooiliall 1 tern administration for the tuition inoome, he said And UB, in oat year's SUNY budget allocation, should benefit fully from the additional! ,000 FTE, he said. · While UB will take a multi-million cut in tim year's budget, the news is not all bad. The plan does include funding to CO'm' several ini- tiatives, including $1 rbillion for the UB/Roswell Park Ceoier for Advanced Medical Technologies, $100,000 Cor the administration of the School of Medicine and Bi<>medical Sciences to reform and modernize the practice plan, $800,000 for Division 1-A athletics gender-equityoompliana efforts as part of the SUNY initiative to en- su.re that women have equal partid · pation opponunities, $3.1 million to Kent State 41,UB 10 Quarurltock Jose lmis compiet<d 24-ci-3< passes"" 196 yank ond lour touchdowns u K.ent Sou lJnMnlty defeoted U8, 41 -20,1n a MKI-Amerian Conlerence baale on S.OJ..t.y .,.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

"Not long ago, I was doing a lot of stories on Chicago gangs and Chi cago schools; said Glass, whose fa miliar voice emerged from a completel y dark Cen ter for the Arts Mainstage theater.

The moment, which Glass captures, ends up having the exact opposite effect, since it turns out that the students are more"\han familiar He demonstrated what he called with this speech, aod instead ofbe- "thc heart of narrative" or how stories can be structured to seem more interesting simply by how they are ing .. touched" are dismayed to find out it is just the ...same old speech."

People on radio always make the:irpoint. Radio simulates very dosely what it is like to be in an actual conversation. deep way, a back-<loor kind of way, a sneaky way.

It ls rare that you are exposed to narrative in which you feel like: 'this could of radio, like a late-night phone call Glass revealed secret subliminal "In other art forms. like poetry or be me,'" which, to Glass, is one of to somebody you're close to. in th e tricks such as removing the background music to emphasize certain words in a story and structuring seri es of events to ..create bait" for the listener to rai.se questions in his or drama, no one ever tells you what it is about.

"This approach is beneficial because we are sure that it is going to raise some idiosyncratic situations that we haven't thought Of as the policy is being implemented and will help in the dovelopment of the computer-based system," said Inn us. " The expectation is that the computeriz<d process will be fully imp lemented in Spring 2000 so that courses retaken in the spring could be handled in an automa ted fashion ." The new grading po licy, which has been published in the most recent undergraduate cataJogue, al lows students to repeat courses in which they receive a grade of C plus o r lower. The grade earned the seco nd time the course is taken is the o ne that counts toward the student's grade-point average, regardless of whether that is the higher mark. Presidmt Wtlliam R. Greiner had told the FSEC early this semester that because of mo~ pr=ing obligations in CIT---<p<cilically Y2K and AcC<SS99-virtually all other projects would be !TlOVI:d back to the spring. Innus explained that the reason the project was delayed was because "there were still a lot of planning discussions going on between undergraduate education and CIT in interpreting the policy.• "As of Oct. 7,allofthe remaining details and understanding of what was to be implemented were resolved and we had a meeting with the provost in which the provost confirmed that this would be the top new priority in terms of projects.• Inn us added thatCIT will be handling only currently enrolled students and records dating back to 1984. In other business, Claude E. Welch,Jr.,SUNYDistinguishedSel-vice Professor in the Department of Political Science and chair of the senate's Academic Planning Committee, updated FSEC members on the recent meeting at UB with five interlocutors from Albany, headed by SUNY Provost Peter Satins. to discuss the SUNY-wide m.issjon review. "Presumably, this campps-based discussion of mission is intended in some ways to further differentiate the campuses, but also to under- stand better what the maJor con cems are or the strengths and weak nesses of each campus," said Welch. Seven administrators and five faculty members met with the In terlocutors, according to Welch. l-Ie reported that the interlocutors were panicularly interested in four areas: undergraduate program in terms of missions, retention, student life and selectivity; research and graduate education; health sciences, and broader, generaJ-education issues. Welch told the FSEC that among the "dialogue points" posed by the interlocutors ¥13.5 the question: lfUB had $5-$10 million more in annual appropriations from the state, how would the univernty spend it? Welch said that Provost David Triggle replied that he would spend 70 percent of the money on various com puting initiatives and 30 percent on enhanced graduate stipends. In response to another diaJogue ~int, Triggle proposed hiring 140 faculty members by 2003, the cost of which would come from revenue from increased enrollment, accord ing to Welch's repon.

AREN Allen is a beHever that having a pet in your home can improve your mental a nd ph ys ical health. The LIB resea rch scientist makes no bones about her claim that pets play an integral role in reducing the effects of stress in peopl e's lives. Allen shared the findings of sewral studies she has conduded that show pet s can have a caJming effect o n individuals by preventing blood press u re from skyrocketing and keeping heart rate down with a " UB at Sunrise" audience on Oct. 2 1. " Pet ownersh ip brings down responses to mental stress.." Allen said, a finding that she said is not entirely new. Past studies, she said, have linked the presence of a pet to survival after a heart attack. a reduced risk for c.ardiovascuJar disease and an increased sense of well -being for individuaJs with Alzheimer's disease and AJDS. Allen's research, however, focu ses on how having a pet-specifically a cat or dog--can diminish or buffer th e- effects of a st ressful situation. Her studies, she said, "explore the degree to which pets can influence responses to psychological and physical stress." One study looked at the human response to the imposition of stress via mental and physical stressors, and monitored the results of indi vi duals in and out of the presence of a pet, and with and without a spouse or friend in the room. An other study investigated what role pets play in conllict and resolution between couples.

As part of his reside n cy. Maciejewski is directing the student universal themes and questions. "Tango," considered Mrozek's best play, demonstrates Polish artists' use of comedy, parody and irony via political commentary that was developed during various periods when freedom ofspeech and expression were severely circumscribed in Poland by foreign-imposed absolutism and authoritarianism. Prior to the opening of "Tango." the public will have the chana to hear a free talk by Maciejowski entitled "Mrouk, the Man and His Play 'Tango.'" at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the Audubon Pubtic I.Jbrary, 350 John jame1 Audubon Parkway, Amlu:rsLit is sponsored by the Polish Arts Oub of Buffalo. Maci~'s residency, part ofan international exchange program being explored by the theatre and dance department, is supported by Dean K<rry Grant of the CoUege of production of Slowomir Mrozek's ''Tango." which will open Nov.IIPolish lndependen~ Day-in the Drama Theatre of the Center for the Arts on the North Campus. The witty play, which will be performed in English, is set in Poland ' during communist times and its plot revolves around the idea of" rebelling against rebellion." Arthur, a man in his 20s, has grown up in a household where everything is permitted, except foiJowing the rules. His parents. one of whom is an artist, have created and sustained a world that goes against every convention of society and believe that seek- ing pleasure should be their principal goal in life.

The exchange began two seasons ago. when Gerald · Finnegan, assistant professor of theatre and dance, directed "Our Town," at the Academy of Drama in Krak6w. The exchange program is designed to enrich the learning of students as they are exposed to the high l;,_,el of slciJJ offered by the guest di rector. according to Stephen Henderson, chair of the theatre and dana departmenL "We are very excited and fortunate to have a director of the stature of Mr. Maciejewski in rt'Sidence here," said Henderson. "This particular play is very challenging and he has received much acclaim for productions he .directed overseas and here in the u.s.· Henderson added that students also have benefited &om the expertise of Maciejowski's wife, Barbara. a slcilled set designer and make-up artist, who bas offered workshops in make-up artistry in the departmenL Maciejowski, who has been director and professor of the Academy of Drama in Krak6w for 25 yean. was a member of the Polish underground during World War II when he took part in the Warsaw Upris- ing of 1944 and became a German prisoner of war. I.Jberated by the American Army iq 1946, he re - turned to Poland and graduated from the Poland National School of Dramatic Arts in 1953 and em.barked on an ill.ustrious career, during which he has-produced plays on all of Poland's leading stages and in countries worldwide. He has directed more than 200 premieres in dramatic theaters, opera hou ses and on television . Maciejowski, who is w.II-Jcoown for · his Shakespearean productions, also is highly regarded for his pt:Oduction o!Tango.• which was recognized as the best production at the International Festival of Experimental Theaters in Sarajevo and was hailed as one of the greatest C'mlts of the year when it opened in Bulgaria "Tango" will run &om Nov. 11 14 and 18-21 at 8 p.m. Thursdays.

"The way we see ourselves man agmg to move the instituti on forwa rd is to take whatever it is th e people of the State of New York make available to us, and build on that through this kind of partnership activity."

Silicon Graphics also made a substantial computer-equipment grant. design of aircraft engines and effi cient furnaces. Miller noted that the cen ter has begun ·to develop regional partnerships with Inn ovat ive Business ule and did not have the time after the remarks to tour the center as ex.. tensively as planned. But he told spectators that he "reaUy wanted to at least get to see (the center)" and, vanced Computational Infrastructure and Research at the National Science Foundation , said at the opening that CCR is in line with three major areas that th e NSF will concent rate on in the new millennium: info rm ation technology, biocomplex.ity and education. .. I'm proud to say that the genesis of this entire center was an award from the Major Research lnstru mcntation Program," said Hirsh, re- ferring to the NSF grant of $300,000 Russ Miller, director of CCR and professor of computer science and mgineering, presented the governor with a special honorary "key" to the cen ter, whi ch, he explained, is not really a key at all, but rather a ring with a built -in J av;:~ micro-processor. ''These arc exci ting times at UB right now," said Miller. "The facili ties available in the cen ter position UB to significantly enhance research a nd cd ucati~ - th e region. The three supcrcom ters that we have can be used, no only to train the scientists and engineers of tomorrow, but to serve as a catalyst for economic development in Western New York..'' According to Miller, the center's work focuses primarily on three areas: computational chemistry, part of which involves developing drugs for the pharmaceutical industry: virtual -realitydesign to help belt~ design factories, automobiles and aircra ft, and combustion to aid in the able to do by taking an initial, small investment and leveraging it into an asset like CCR.

Computation has joined the more traditional means of scientific investigation - theory and experiment -as a third modality for conducting scie_nce. In fact, computation is an interesting combination of both theory and experiment. and complements th em bo th ," said Hirsh ... It brings to expertise what is applicable to almost any area. not jusl one specific discipline." While Tuesday's visit was Pataki's first to campus, it was not the first trip to VB that the governor had planned. He was"kheduled to speak at UB Aug. 24, 1998, to announce that the university would receive SI05 million in state capital fund ingoverthe next fi~ years. However, inclement weather in Albany prevented the trip, and Pataki spoke via a live telecast.

The savings/reduction faaor assigned to the Univenity Libraries this fiscal year is at the same level as last year. No additional reductions or savings factors an being assigned to the University Libr~ries, even though, overall, the university has to deal with a significant budget reduction in the current fiscal year. We appreciate the high priority that the University Libraries l>ave been given during this difficult fiscal climate. The University Libraries already have spent-or are in the process of spending-more than $4.2 million to acquire new materials to augment current holdings. Because of the timing requirements for renewals, a significant amount of this money was used to maintain existing journal subscriptions. With the budget picture now dear, we can plan for the ape:ndi - ture of the approximately SI million that had been put on temporary hold. This"funding will be targeted to acquire monographs and electronic datlbases. Please not< that theuniverntydid not receive any inOationary funding from the state this year and, therefore, the libraries did not receive an increase in its acquisitions budget. The impact of inf1at1on on the ac . quiSitions budget is calculated to be approrimately $480,000. That will reduce the volume of new matenaJ that we will be able to acqui re th1s year, as well as the number of subscriptions we can continue. Consequently, we will need considerable input from the university community to help guide and pri oritize our expenditures for mono- graphs and electronic databases. The process to makt those selections will be the same as the libraries has used in previous years when its budget was reduced. -Voldem.v lnnus Semor Auodote VICe Prt!ildent ond Chief Information Officer Heo<man T'""!>hr andK!ate Chad PeMngton ~ 2<k>l-ll paues "" 3J9 yards and 1M touChdowns to lead No. 15 Ma..tull Univenity to a 59-) victory over UB in a Mld--Amerian Conference game ~wrday in UB Sadium PenningtOn threw touchdown passes to four different r-ecl!fven and became only the soo:h pbyel- 1n NCAA htstory to throw fa.. both 11.000 yanh and I00 tou<:hdowns wfdl his perfonnartCe.

The � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Libraries put hold on new purchases SUNY budget uncertainty prompts units to exercise caution in spending By MAaAMCRepott~ Assistant Editor September. we have already spent a T quisitions base; said Roberts. "We must at least temporarily hold HE continuing uncer- tainty of SUNY's budget for the currmt fiscal yoar has forced the Univasity Libraries to impose a hold on all new purchas<s, with the exception of periodicals and serials, and a restriction on new hiring until actual budget fig· ures are known. The hold on one-time acquisition purchases by the libraries, which went into dJKt Oc; 4, is in response to the lack of any inflationary-based increases for SUNY in this year's state budget, a "devastating d""'lopmeot" for the libraries, according to Stephen Roberts, associate director of university libraries. The libraries expect.a shortfall of at least $480,000, marking the first time in at least 25 years that the unit will not receive any funds to cover the oosts of inflation. The state budget-related problems also are ~ed to impact other units on campus, including Com· puting and Inforrilation Technology. "Since the libraries were forced to our subscriptions in August and major portion of our anticipated ac · back on one-time purchases of monographs--books,scor<s,microforms, recordings. maps, CDslcas· sett.Sand manuscripts--;>s well as on subscriptions to any new electronic products until real figures for this academic yoar finally materialiu." While the libraries are not necessarily stopping journal subscriptions at this time, Roberts said som e ma jor coUections have been pared back, although not enough to cover the potential reduction in the budget. Voldemar lnnus, senior associate vice president for university services who oversees the libraries and C IT, noted that CIT is taking similar cautionary measures. "Just as within C IT, the libraries are taking prudent action ... we have to maintain Rexibility in order to address what the (budget ) reductions might be." The university has been operat ing for nearly four months--si nce the fiscal year began on July ! without a working budget from SUNY. Administrators anticipate that the final figures will surface sometime in November. "If this university intends to be a research institution, it has to invest in its libraries and that long-term commitment is ~ry apensive,.. explained Roberts. "You build research collections over decades. You need to have financial assurances to maintain those collections. Auctuations in the budget with holes liko this mak<s it diffirult to sustain continuity." lnnus said he believes this is the first time in 25 years that the librar· ies will not rea:ive any inflationary funds. He added that they are taking a particularly hard hit because in the past, .. even if there was very littJe money, there had been a recognition of the importance for libraries to maintain their acquisitions budget in o rder to continue purchasing." Of all the UB libraries, the impact of the purchil§ing freeze is greatest for Lockwood-SUNY's largest li brary -since it houses research collections for the humanities and socia) sciences that rel y heavily on book scholarship. Judith Adams-Volpe. director of Lockwood, said that although the o rder r~uests are piling up, the li brary continues to accept orders and the library's subJect special~ are monitoring dosely their publicati~n sources to keep track of their requests. But " the problem will be compounded iftht: situation Jasu a long time." she added. In order to maintain their normal level of purchasing into I999· 2000. the libraries needed an additional $480,000 over last year's b~ to cover the traditionally high inflation rates of library materials. According to Bar.bara von Wahlde. director of university librar· ies, inflation can be as much as I012 percent for journals and as high as 18 percent for certain titles. "' It is difficult at this point ," von Wahlde said, "to predict the 1m pact o( our actions." but she apressed concern that overall the libranes arc "f.lcing a difficult future." "Depending o n how much we have invested in journals and the amount we finally receive, we may be required to purchase fewer mo nographs this yoar." she S3ld. "When we know more about our budget, units will be authorized to spend again. Therefore, the requests and suggestions in our queues will be able to go forward a Litt le later:· Report urges action on brownfields By EU.EH GOLDIIAUM News Services Editor T HE complicated process of r~!~~ing Western New ~ brownfields could be enhanced and accelerated significantly through the formation of a nonprofit organization designed to facilitate such projects. according to a repon by a newuniv=itygroup, the Brownfield Action Project (BAP). Au tho"' of the repon say the non· profit organization would be the first brownfiekl-red=iopment organi· zation in the U.S. to be initiated by a university, a fact that will allow fo r the latest research findings and in novations in the 6eld to be adaptl"<i quickJy fo r practical application. An interdisciplinary group formed by professor:; of law, planning and engineering--each with expertise m brownfield redevelopment-SAP is affiliated with the Environment and Society Institute (ESI). Funded by ESI and the Center for Integrated Waste Management, the report was designed to determine how such organizations had assisted development in other regions throughout the U.S. and how they \ might work in Western New York and other upstate region3. " Brownfic.ld redevelopment t3 a growt h industry," explained Thomas F. Disa re, clinical professor of law and a BAP report author, point tng to the fact that the federal gov ernment afftl other sources are mak ing funds available to communttt~ for development projects. "The communities that are the first ones that learn how to put deals together for red=ioping brownfields will get a disproportionately high share of the resources that are avail able." said Disare.

In addition, we also have a Curatorial Initia· lives Program through which facultY can submit proposals for exhibitions they would like to curate. These are voted on by myself and the gallery's advisory committee and are awarded a budget and gallery staff support. Occasiooally, we also present a touring exhibition created by another institution.

We have the Cu ratorial Initjatives Program (mentioned above) to publish faculty research.

Currently, we are in the process of publishing an essay by Professor Carolyn Korsmeyer of the phifosophy depanment on the exhibi tion "'Hospice: A Photo- graphic Inquiry." I am also in the process of collaborating with Mary Flanagan of Media Srudy and Austin Booth from University Libraries, and will be working with Samuel Delany from the English department in developing an exhibition on the effects of new tech nologies and science on the body, using the imagery and stories of science fiction as a way of exploring these ideas.

Titled " La M ujer en el Cine Espaiiol." ("Women in Spanish Cinema"), the festival salutes the work of women directors in Spain and takes an unflinching look at how women are represented in Spanish film. None of the films have been shown Q_efor~ in this region . All screenin~ f= of charge and open to the public; there will be no tickets fo r these events. The films will be shown in 35mm in the o riginal Spa nish versions without subtitJes. However, a detailed film synopsis in English will be available fo r each film. What unites the films in this series is their concern with women as c r~a ti ve artists and as figu res in motion pictures today, according to Elizabeth Scarlett, assistant profes- sor of Spanish and director of the festival. "Two of the movies were made by Spain's most noted female directors: Pilar Mir6, whose career was cut shon a few years ago by breast cancer, andArantxa l.a:u:ano, who combines her interest in female adolescence with a. focus on the Basque region of Spain, where many inhabitants seek independence. "The final years of this century are a time of remembering and n:ckoning. and all three films, made in the mid-19905. have much to say about what the 20th cenrury will be remembered for." says Scarlett. "They also remind us of the issues that still must be reckoned with in Spain and elsewhere, oonceming women in society and the separatist drive of ethnic groups living within larger states." The festival is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Modem Languages ond Literarures and the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. �OctobeJ21.1!!191¥1i31.1o.9 Rep_._ 3 GSE plans major conference BrieD Worldwide shift ofhigher-education costs to be addressed Pataki to attend grand opening of supercomputing center sity College of Wales, lhe foremost D.

The ETC also plans to devote time to assessing the impact of IT on the learning process. The ETC, which opened in the spring, aims to provide faculty and instructors at UB the opportunity to infuse technology into instruction through the development of Web-based and multimedia curriculwns for courses at the undergraduate level. "We're here to help all UB faculty and ot her in str uc tors in their coursewoik, either designing a Web site from scratd! or modifying an existing site," says David Wtllbem, director of the center, professor of English and associate vice provost for information technology. ,.We want to provide IT materials that supplement and enhance the inclass learning environmenl" Training so far at the ETC has focused on freshmen courses, aiming to get in step with A~. the ini tiative requiring every freshman , beginning this semester, to have access to a personal computer. Freshmen are expected to be versed in word processing, lntemct research and email. But for Fall 2000, the ETC plans to work with depanment chairs, fuculty, teaching assistants, librarians and IT specialists to develop Webenhanced courses at the sophomore level. "Ahe.r Access99, our main initiative for the year 2000 is to help develop pilots in several 200-level courses, including such fields as ~r­ chitccture. American pluralism, dtemistry, economics, mathematics, • physics, physiology and sociology," Wtllbern says. He and Abbie Basile, the center's educational technology librarian, work with William Fischer, vice provost for faculty development, on applying technology to team-taught courses. Courses at the I 00 and 200 levels, such as "World Civilization" have high enroUments and are taught by teams of faculty and teaching assistants, sometimes numbering as many as 50.

"We really want to bring assessment into the development of all this course technology," Basile says. .. (There are) some questions out there about whether integrating technology into your education actuallyenhan= the leamingproa=" The issue is importan~ sbe says, onnsidering the amount of time fac. ulty members devote to developing and using technology in their courses. "They want to know that what they're doing is really helping their students," she says. Wtllbern also stressed the importance of providing the appropriate "tools." "We want to help focus much of the IT energies on campus, for a - ample. by examining 'onurse-IIWlagement toolS' ...andy developed by many software companies, or by working with the libraries on issues of standards in digitization of tat and images, or oopyright questions," he says. Mor<OYer, Basile works with the upiversity bbraries' subject specialim-l.ibrarians assigned to specific content area>-to bring their expertise for information-resource selection into the process of developing online a>urses. The ETC staff provides one-onone and small-group instruction, and is offering a full slate of workshops this semester. Workshops are one hour each, and are tlugbt by a host of faculty and staff. "We have farulty who are talking about their own aperien= using technology," Basile says. "Weba>otibrarians who talk about evaluating information on the Internet (and) how to search the lntetrlet effectively. And we have ·IT staff wbo teach things like how to work with specific softwan! packages, how to best work with online images and Web design i<se)[" Basile says the center has other p4ru on tip, too. "We'd like to have a speaker se· ries, where we bring ,~. spea.lcers from other campuseS, ·she says. "We'd (also) like to promote the ETC nationally, and becomeamember of Cducational technology centers across the rowttry." In addition, she hopes to put together a workshop series that takes an intensive look at what the oenter has toolfer. "J would like to have a week-long set of workshops that would lllk< someone frnmA to z; she says, adding that faculty members would be able to sample the oenter's offaings and gauge the level of suppon they want from 'the ETC.

In addition, they found that a walker's characteristic wide tray pre- vents babies from reaching or examining the very object& they scoot around to inspect. In comparison, babies allowed to crawl have free aca:ss to objects that interest them. "The idea is that being able to experience the environment unhampered. especially in the six-to-nine month period, is very important to a baby's mental development." said Siegcl, who was Burton's doctoraJ student when the study was conducted ...

Improving fitness extends lives BJ LOIS IIAJWI News Sefvk:.es Editor A nearly two-d ecade fol low-up of participants in the first natiort.al clinical trial to determine the effect of an exercise program on longterm survival of male heart -attack patients has shown that the men who improved their fitness extended their lives. The study foUowed participants in the Natiort.al Exercise and Heart Disease Project (NEHDP ), co nd ucted from 1976-79, for 19 years. Results of the study, conducted by Joan Dorn, assistant professo r of social and preventive medicine, will be published in the Oct. 26 issue of Circulation. "Our study shows that exe rcise performed at a level sufficient to in crease physical work capacity may have long-tenn survival benefits for heart -attack survivors," Dorn said. " However, merely enrolling in an exercise program did not extend the lives of participants." The NEHDP,a multi-center clinical trial, was designed to determine if participation in a structured exercise program could prolong longterm suivival after a heart attack. At the time, thrn: was no proof of such an effect. The original trial was directed by John P. Naughton , professo r of medicine and former dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Scienc<S. when he was affiliated with George Washington Univ=ity Medical School "We knew that the three years of the original 'trial would be insuffi cient time to come up with defini tive answers on the long-term effect of cardiac rehabilitation on mortality," Naughton said, "but it was the first randomized trial in.the U.S. to show a trend was there. "Cardiac rehabilitation now is ac · cepted as important, but the reality is that furfew<rpeopleget long-term cardiac rehabilitation than could benefit from it,n he said. "lns..urance doesn't cover it. These findings may stimulate a reappraisal of its value." The original trial involved 651 men between the ages of 30 and 64 who had suffered a heart attack within eight weeks to three yean of the triaJ'sstan in 1976. After anini tial assessment, the men were assigned randomly to either an exercise treatment group or a no-exercise control group. Every six months during the trial, all participants received a physical examination and performed a multi-stage, graded exercise test o n a treadmill to estimate oxygen uptake (an indication of fitness) at different levels or stages of exertion. The highest stage compl~ and level of oxygen uptake~nd of the trial were designated as the participan(s maJrimal physical work capacity. Dorn and colleagues assessed mortality rates of all participants at three, five, 10, IS and 19 yean after the trial's completion, or until their death. Results showed that at three years, exercisen had approximately a 3S percent lower risk of death than non-exercisers, but the benefit did not reach statisticaJ sign ificance . This small , early benefit derived from a structured exercise program dissipated over time and had disappeared at I0 yean. O n the other hand, thoK who increased their capacity to do work during th e study period lowered their risk of death at every time pe· riod . Results showed that each in · crease of one stage in work capacity reduced the risk of death by about I0 percent, regardless of which study group the men were assigned to or their initial level of fitness. Although men assigned to th e control group were asked not to participat~ in a regular exercise program, by the end of the trial's second year, 31 percent of the control group reported they had begun ex ercising regularly. Dorn said. "The increases in fitness mea · sured at foUow-up points probabl y reflect the men who were most dili gent in actually performing regular exerc ise, regard less of the initial group assignment," she noted ...Al though we have no measures of fit ness after the three-year study period, the thought is that the men who actually exercised after a hean attack probably became mort" fit. wef(' more likely to stay with it, and conseq uently lived longer," Dorn said. The study was support ed by a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute First Independent Research Suppon in Transition Award. The initial trial was supported in part by a grant &om the NationaJ Institute for Handicapped Research.

The problem has little to nothing to do with the athletes themselv<s. or even with the concept of athletics as part of a univenity experience. The point is quite simply this: It is wrong for athletics to take a priority o= academics in a univ=ity setting. For all thosewbo....,.,]d debate whether this is happening here, I would only direct them to the facts of the case. Fillit of all there is a hiring freeu for the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as huge budget problems in this departmenL Second. this university has spent millions of dollars to enhance our ath· letics program so that it may enter Division 1-A. If we h<~Ve money and are choosing to spend this money on one department with this much lavish- ness while another department is in financial crisis and is not allowed to replace the retiring members it is losing, it is only reasonable to make the statement that we are prioritizing the first over the sk.ond . Arts and Sciences than tbett are who benefit from the athletics program. When I say benefit, I am rderring to the idea that an actual education will l:xtter train an individual for an actual career. I am not referring to an abstract possibility that in se.eral years the degrees of future UB students will have greater value because of a successful athletics program that UB may or may not ew:r ~ Whik some pleasure may be derived from the athletics program. the actual utility of it is negligible. So why is it so important! Why do "" pay 5280 per semester for "'! a.thJetics fe< from which relatively few of us de""" any real benefit! This is why people are so resentfuL So when the backlash of frustration falls on athletics, don't say: "They are aactly like you." They are most certainly not, in one very important way; The administration actually seems to care about them.

Through this process of trying to see what others have done and the roles that they play, we have seen where benefits lie .and what the potential is here in West· ern New York." ln their rtpon, the authors point to the limited success of both the private real-estate market and the public sector in redeveloping many types of brownfields as an impor· tant factor that led to the formation of such nonprofit organizations. "We are hoping to promote a more equitable redevelopment of brownfields by assisting smaller municipalities and nonprofit orga nizations," said Roben S. Berger, professor of law and a report author. The group noted that a regional brownfield organization would 6U the gap that exists in brownfield redevelopment by ~g sites not normally considered the private sector. "Real-estate developers purchase sites and develop them if the mar· ket value of the developed property justifies their costs," explained G. William Page, professor and chair of the Department of Planning in the School ofArchitecture and Planning and an author of the reporL "What w.'re looking for are projects where the market return may not be sulli - cient for a private developer, and where we think our intervention could help remediate and develop a site that wouldn't be developed if it were left to market forces alone. We want to find places where the social value of development is greater than the economic value."' He added that such sites include those that, as brownfidds, h""" become magnets for unwanted social activities and contributors to urban blight. The kinds of development thai would be considered depend largely on the location and the nature of contamination at the site. but Page said they could range from offices, manufacturing or warehouse facili ties to community centers, retail stores and even residences. Benefits of using nonprofit orga nizations in brownfield redevelop· ment cited by the report include greater Oexibility in the types of projects that can be developed. improved access to a more diverse array of funding sources and services. and the ability to be perceived as neutral and credible by all the di verse parties involved While noting that such organizations are new, the report points out that they bring a welcome player to the table, particularly for dillicult or compla sites, which, aooording to Weber. describes many of the sites in Western New York. "Then: have bema f<w, ""ry-wdlpubliciud success stories," Weber said. noting. for ccunple, the tomato \ greenhouse that was built on an old Republic Sled site and the Wegrnans supmnarket built in Bulfalo. "But many other sites in our communities have developmmt potential but lack sufficient expertise and the capital necessary to allow them to proceed." According to the report, putting together a successful brownfieldredevelopment plan is an ex tremely complicated -process. requiring the coordination of many different players. including banks; federal, state and local government agencies; private corporations. and developen. · That level of complexity is what often prevents brownfields from ever getting redeveloped. ..Contrary to popular belief, brownfidds come in all sizes, shapes and degrees of complexity," said Kcith Wdks, president of the Phoenix Land Recycling Co.• a nonprofit in Harrisburg that redevelops sites throughout Pennsylvania and one of the organizations studied by BAP. " Nonprofit organizations can be extremely valuable in resolving problems at dillicult brownfield sites that the private ~continues to ignore. I welcome the creation of a new brownfield nonprofit." Acrording to the report, such an organization could re:n:KJYe some of the obstacles to brownfield redevel· opment that exist in Western New Yorlc. where only a small fraction of the total number of sites are even being considered for redevelop- mcnL BAP is working toward creating a regional nonprofit organiZation, identifying an appropriate funding source for staff and embarking on a vigorous outreach effort in the community. The BAP report cited the following major benefits of involving UB in the redevelopment of the region's brownfidds: • Speedy access to innovations aris· ing from academic rosearch in tech· nology, financing. liability manage· ment, risk analysis. economic development and land use • The ullMrsity's proven ""J"'r1ise in the 6cld across se.eral disciplines • Its public-service mission, which allows it to access grants from' gov· emment, foundations and other charities that are not available to other types of organizations • An ability to target assistance to smaller, more-complicated and lessmarketable sites that are not the focus ofcurrent redevelopment efforts • An ability to leverage UB's con siderable cperiencc working with private-sector interests, municipalities and neighborhoods, such as the work done with Ddta D<vdopment of Western New York. 1nc. and the Law School's Affordable Housing Clinic Other authors of the report are Ramon C.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The ce nter will be headed by Mark Shechncr, professor of En glish, who says the initiative will offer new and exciting opportunities for scholarly collaboration among faculty member.; from different departments and schools, and will strengthen and expand program options for students. The univmity will dissolve the Department "of American Studies and fold its programs into the Cen· ter for the Americas at the end of the 1999-2000 academic year. The department offers degrees in American studies, Puerto Rican stud- ies and Native-American studies. "Those programs will continue," Shechner says, .. and bc supplemented by programs in Caribbean studies, Canadian studies. Latin American st udi es, Latino/Latina Studies and others where we can identify substantial faculty expertise and student interest. This may sound breathlessly eclectic," says Shcchner, "but we warlt to blur dis- ciplinary boundaries while looking for underlying unities--historical, demographic, economic-between what seem on the surface to be discrete areas of knowledge." The Center for the Americas wiU grant bachelor's, master's and doc toral degrees in American or "Americas" studies. Most degree re quirements will be program specific. although all programs will require degree candidates to take courses in at least two different disciplines. "We are looking to educate generalist-specialists. That is, generalists who~certain common founda - tions of knowledge; specialists who can bring those foundati ons to bear on panicular cultural , social and historical issues," Shechner says. UB's Women 's Studies Pro gr~ne of the first in the United States--was, until recently. housed in the Depanment of American Studies. It now is ad mini stered through the Institute for Research and Education on Women and Gen- der(IREWG ). "'Since IREWG does not grant degrees," Shechner says "we will extend to it the degree-granting programs of the Center for the Americas. '' We have several missions here,'' he eXplains. "One is to administer a nd enr ich American Studies courses and programs with cross- listed cour.;es taughl by affilia1e faculty. A second is to develop linkages between our programs and related on~ in departments and schools around the campus. Another is to make it easier for interested faculty to identify potential colleagues out side their departments and inaugu rate research initiatives and instructional programs out of existing resources. "There are many professors with mutual interests around the university who are unaware of each oth · ers' existence or their potentials for coUaborat.ion," Shcchner notes. Shechner says the Native Amen can Stu<Les Program will be reconstituted as a center for the study of indigenous peoples throughout the Western Hemisphere, while Puerto Rican studies wiU be linked to Car· Cont-.-don,..,.4 Grant to aid in study of kidney disease BySUZANNE~BUUJUN /TO'If\L Reporter Contributor Renal Ca re, Inc. (TRC) ha s donaled $500,000 to the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences 10 J'S!ablish the Nephrology Research Endowment Fund to panncr with UB in the battle againSI kidney disease. Anxio!_ls t~et lhe I 0-year research p~ship started, rather than waiting for the usual one-year period that aJlows an endowment investment to generate interest, TRC donated an additional $50.000 lobe used immediately. Robert A. Klocke, professor and chair of the Department of Medi cine, said the grant "provides a solid base for us to continue and even to expand our ongoing research in renal disease." Brian M. Murray, associate pro- fessor of medicine, is one of two re searchers to receive some of the ini tial grant dollars. "It's wonderful because it serves as seed money for developing further grant applica · tions for national research dollars. and it'salways toughest to get those first dollars to develop an area of research." Murray said he will study the role of growth factors in the progression of kidney disease , differentiating between those growth factors that are beneficiaJ and those that are toxic. "Of course," Murray added, "the long-term hope for all involved. whether researcher or donor, is that this research will eventually lead to a treatment that would halt, or at leas! delay, kidney disease." Murray also serves on the advi sory board developed by TRC and comprised of nephrology experts from across the country Whose in- \ stituoons, like UB, rece ive grants from th e co mpan )'· Th is board meets twice a year to review research and consider trends and directions 1n the treatment of kidney disease. Stan M. Lindenfeld, senior vice president and the chief med1cal officer ofTRC s.a.id: "We are proud to support the endeavors of our part ncr institutions like UR. which WdS chosen because of the strength of its academic program and its c.xcclknt research. "Nthough our primary busmt.'ss ts-pi-oviding th e hi ghest-qualit}'• end-stage renal care to paticnb," Lindenfeld added, "our long- range goals include a desire to stimulate research and advances in the treat ment of kidney disease." Rocco C. Venuto, professo r of medicine and the second VB researcher who received TRC grant money this year, called it a win -win situation. "TRC gains qualiry - level research in its area of interest and we receive a grant that can be used to continu e vaJuable basic-science rt-scarch."

The PMBA requires three academic yean for completion and does not allow for specialization. The Eucutive MBA Program (EMBA) is for experienced exec:utives with top management potential. Classes meet on alternating Fridays and Saturdays for two academic years; the curriculum is similar to that required in the professional MBA program,.but classroom work is oompressed and more intense. UB also offers an EMBA program in Singapore that is taught entirely by our faculty and an EMBA program in China that is offered in conjunction with faculty members from R.cnmin University in Beijing. We recently launched a partnership with Motorola University in that will provide an MBA program for employees and customers of Motorola lbe MBA job market is considerably stronger overall than the job market for people with just an un · dergraduate degree. Exceptions in some functional areas (accounting, information technology) exist, but on the whole, there are better and more opportunities for people with an MBA. In addition, the MBA gives . thOS< who did not study business as undergraduates the chance to enter the field. For example, employer demand for MBA graduates with technical undergraduate degrees, including engineering and computer science. outweighs the current supply of new graduates. am;. What's an MBA worth these days In Increased nlary7 What makes us unique: from local competJton, such as Canlslus7 For the Class of 1999, our full -time MBA graduates entered the work force with an average starting salary of approximatel y $46,000, com pared with our BS graduates who began their careers with an average salary of just over $34,000. Furthermore, the impact on salary and op· portunities for faster promotion and incrtased levels of responsibility are greater as a perso n progresses through his or her career with an MBA. Can you describe the various MBA programs UB has to offer? The full -time MBA P.cograrn is designed primarily for students who desire a significant career change or for those who have limited work ex. perience. FuU -time MBA students can choose from nine areas of specialization, and can complete up to three of these concentrntions in their two years at UB. The Professional MBA Program (PMBA) is<lesigned for people with at least one year, but prefurnbly thr"" or more years. of relevant, postbaccalaureate experience who intend to continue working fulJ time while they pursue graduate management study. Students in this Rather than commenting on what other institutions do or do not offer, 1 I prefer to address the strengths that the UB MBA programs offer students. UB's programs have an excellent worldwide reputation and provide students with an e:xcd.lent return on their investment. Business Wed, for instane<, has included our full-time MBA program within its ranking of the top-60 MBA programs in the U.S. and has rated it as one of the 15best values in the country. The global name r=>gnition of the UB MBA allows our graduates freedom to search for employment opportunities outside Western New York, and even outside the US. Faculty members are ext"Cemely wellknown in their fields and bring unparalleled expertise to the classroom. All our MBA programs are delivered in a cohon or learning community format, which increases the potential for peer learning. team-skill development and leadership training. What c:oncepu are being taught today that weren 't relevant 10 yun ago 1 The primary change in the MBA curricuJum over the past I 0 years has been a dramatic increase in em- phasis on global issues and information technology. The curriculum is infused with international penpectim In other words, when,.., teach an introduction to marketing management, the content will include issues that are related specifically to the impact of globalization on basic concepts like promotion. pricing and distribution. With respect to technology, this has changed the way we deliver our MBA programs, the curriculum and the career paths students are ch~g. Many students with a primary interest in accOunting, finance or marketing now choose to couple those functional areas with the study of information technology, since it is impacting dramatically the way every business person works. Is an MBA • degree only for someone Interested In a busi- ness career? Definitely not! An MBA is for anyone who is interested in a broad· ba5<d business degree. A number of our students are pursuing primary careers as physicians, attorneys. archi tects, pharmacists, musicians, engineers and social workers_However, they sec that supplemental knowledge about such subjects ~ aa:ounting. marketing. information technology, human resources and strategic management can help them to ~ more successfuJ in their primary field. This type of combination is a growing phenomenon. Wh•t do you like most •bout running the MBA program here? There are two fundamental aspects of this position that makr coming to work every day a pleasure. Fint and foremost is the opportunity to serve a truly outstanding group of graduate students. MBA students are smart, motivated, interesting and fun people Who are future leaders of our businesses and communities, both in our backyard and around the world. Second, the job is incredibly dive= and in a perpetual state of change. In addition to students, I have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of different types of people: faculty, School of Management and other staff rnem\>ers across the university, the business mmmunity and alumni. Because the MBA program is the program with the most impact on the School of Management's external reputation, we are oonstantly evaluating every aspect of it from the curriculum to our marketing effons to the facilities·from which we work. The position has provided a unique opportunity to be involved in both academics and student affairs--it's a great combination! Doyou...,.,.nMBA7 Yes.

We strive each year to meet or exceed our enrollment targets, while at the same.time improving our over· all class profile. We would me, to attract mo.re students of color, more students from o utside Western New York for our fulltime program. and students with more postbaccalaureate work experience.

In addition, we taJu, a very personal approach to recruiting students to UB. We contact them several times by mail, phone and email to be sure all prospective students' questions are answered and to guarantee that they keep UB on their "radar screens." It is incredibly intensive, but also very rewarding when they choose to matriculate here and then are so successful upon graduation.

Boger, who is working on a doctorate in comparative education through the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy in the Graduate School of Education, has been a Schomburg fellow for two years.

The program at US wa.~ renamed for Schomburg, a Puerto-Rican,African -American bibliophile, historian and scholar whose collections and intellectualism played a significant role in the Harlem renaissance. All fellows receive a tuition waiver and stipend, which varies according to the st udent's course of study. Funding is limited to a maJtirnum of two yean for master's students, three yean for law studmts and four yean for ·medical, dental and doctoral fellows. When the program began, UB's allocation of state funding was the largest-and remains so today, according t.o Mary G resham , vice president for public service and urban affairs. The program's goal, Gresham says, was to improve access to graduate school for minority students. "Their disadvantage might be economic. but it's not academic. What they have in common is their intelligence," says Gresham, noting the fellowship program strives for honors-level achievemenL Students must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and be either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be considered. They also must be nominated for admittance to the program by their respective admitted, bringing the total number ~f students currently in 1M fel- lowship program to 117. The program seeks fellows from all disciplines, but Gresham says it can be hard to attract students, especially those studying !he hard scieoces, when other schools are able to offer mo"' generous scholanhips. N<."Vertheless, the program has fared well "We always have lllOfe applicants than we can fund," she says. And since the program's inception, 91 percent of Schomburg fellows have graduated. .. We're really proud of that ," Gresham says. "These are students who are exceptionally talented. We're taking serious students and helping them do what they need to do." Buscaglia, who teaches Caribbean studies, says the program is about much more than financial scholarship. " They have a lot of s upport mechanisms to make sure students are doing their work and fulfilling the goals of the fellowship," he says. And fulfilling those goals means departments. Once departments have nominated fellowship candi· dates. the names thm are submit ted to a selection committee com- turning out successful st~dents, Gresham points ouL prised of graduate-school representatives, faculty members and the Schomburg program coordinator, that "the need for (minority) leadership has not changed." Boger sees the program as a way Peggy Brooks-Bertram, associate for faculty development and public service. Those names selected are forwarded to the Office of Public Service and Urban Affairs for the finaJ nod. This year, 28 new students were for minorities to work toward that end...We're there as ... an ambassa dor. not only to promote o~r own interests, but to promote the forward movement of minorities within the university setting." she says.

Karwan notes that while the number of young women engineers rose throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it has not increased in the 1990s. "We hope that by giving her this award, we are recognizing her as a role model for today's young 'W'Oman engineers and to inspire future generations to choose engineering as a profession,"' he said. Upon grad uation from South my grades, especially went to work fo r PWCI. them in the drafting department, helping engineers make corrections on the blueprints for cargo and fighter planes.• It was a job Price loved and that she excelled at, a fact that did not escape notice by her boss, who strongly encouraged her to enroll in enginttringschool once the war was over. But Price was hoping to explore a different aspect of aviation--by becoming an airline stewardess. "I really wanted~o be a stewardess," she says, laugblng. "but I was curriculum: she started in the Department of Me· chanical Engineering. which was the sole department when she enrolled, then she switched briefly to electrical engineering and finally to industrial engineering. which began in her sophomore year. "I had no idea what I was going to do with this degree. but I never once felt like, 'what am I doing here?'"b says. Price's job at Curtiss- Wright had prepaml her well for her experiena at UB, where her insistence on self· reliance came in handy. "She was a very thoughtful, energetic young lady," recalls Chaiies Fogel, professor emeritus of engineering instruction. who was a.ssistan,tdeanatthetime. "Herwodcwas very good and she was very popular with the other students.". Price's first job out of college was at H.W. Clement Printing Co.which later became Arcata Graphics-<loing time studies and making things run more efficiently in the company's book bindery, which employed many women. After working there for several years. she decided to get -out of industry and try something new. A newspaper ad for a physics teacher in the Niagara Wheatfield School District caught her eye and she decided to apply. "I had no credentials for teaching at all, but they told me with my background in engineering, I could certainly do it," she says. Price completed th e required education courses at Buffalo State CoUege. She returned to the college during summers and evenings to finish her degree in secondary science education and, eventually, a master's degree in education. ln 1964, she accepted a JX>Sition teaching physics at Maryvale High Sch6ol in Chedaowaga, from which she retired in 1981. Price's advice to young girls who have an aptitude for math and the sciences is that they should strongly consider engineering. regardless of the career path they have in mind "It can be preparation for unlimited opportunities in any field," she says.

The grant will be used to buy a Gene Tac Hybridization Station and accessories as pan of an ongoing cooperative effort involving the School of Phannacy, the School of Medicme and Biomedica l Sciences and Roswell Park Canar lnstitutr. Wayne K.

The Human Genome Project has provided us with a roadmap of genes; ~ow we in pharmaceutical sciences want to use that information and proceed with identifying the function of a gene." The Gene Tac Hybridization Sta tion will help with that process by scanning thousands of genes simultaneowly and generating information that can be used to predict drug responses in individual patients. For example, it could lead to a process that would allow researchers to scan tumor genes and identify key genetic markers that would enable physicians to optimize cancer therapy for the individuaJ patient. from_. a Geometry/T-">gy Semi ....

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He added that ..evaluatiOn" often gives summativc. rather than forma tive, conclusions and that it ofte n fo c uses o n st ude nt satisfaction rather than what stude nt s have learned, which can result in useless program s rather than specific rather than useful feedback. "When we talk about assessm ent, we have in mind a process that in volves a number of steps," Meacham courses, was developed last spring explained. "The first step is that tht> by the senate's Educational Pro· gram s and Policies Co mmittee (EPPC ) and was presen ted to senators by committee chair Jack Meacham , SUNY Di stinguished Teaching Professor and chair of the Department of Psychology.

Tomorrow night, small groups will play at various places on and around the cam· pus to generate school spirit. On Saturday, we plan to march from The Commons about an hour before game time.

Hare included his late wife's name on th e fund because he said they were a team for many years, begin· ning in 1959. Daphne Hare, a former UB faculty member and director of the MedicaVDental Division of the Veterans Administration Central Office in Washington, D.C .. died in 1995. Daphne Hare won national recognition fo r her work with the VA and internati onal recognition for her editorial and research work in the biophysics of membrane trans· port. In addition, she had held leadership roles with the Buffillo Chapter of the National Organization for Women and the Western New York Chapter of the Am<rican Civil Lib- With his other gift, Hare established an endowed professorship named for American philosopher Charles S. Peirce. "Founder of American pragma· tism, Peirce was a ni.athematician, a scientist and generally considered the best philosopher this country has produced," Hare said. "What better way to promOte the rich tra· dition of diversity in UB's philosophy department than to establish the Charles S. Peirce Professorship in American Philosophy." Randall Dipert, a leading Peirre scholar who taught at the State University College at Fredonia from 1977-95 and is now on the faculty of the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, has been named the lim Peirce Professor. " I could scarcely believe ~ow happy and flattered I felt when Peter Hare told me that he was both creating a professorship in American philosophy at Buffillo and that he was nominating me to be its first occupant," recalled Dipert, who holds a doctoral degree in philoso- -\ phy from Indiana University. Dipert added: "One might even speak of a 'Buffalo School' in philosophy, one that addresses contemporary philosophical prqblems-in logic. metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics-in a way that is also in· tensely historical. There is no graduate school in the U.S. that has such a strong program in contemporary metaphysics and logic. understood historically.~ Dipert descnbed Hare's gifts as an inspiring model of active philanthropy. "If we as faeulty members believe something is worth doing, small or large, and other funding sources have been exhausted, we should think more often about donating or raising the money our· selves." he added. Dipert has published widely on Peirre and is perhaps best known for his "Peirce's Place in the History of Logic." presented at the C.S. Peirce Sesq u icentennial Congress at Harvard University in 1989,and for his articles on logic in "Encyclopedia Britannica• Dipert speaks fluent German and has taught a variety of courses ranging from computer science to mu· sica1 therapy to German, as well as the full range of courses in philosophy. Although Dipert won't begin teaching at UB until Fall 2000. he alteady is organizing a philosophy conference that UB will host this November. Hare also is weU-recognized by Peirce scholars and philosophers. Educated at Yale and Columbia, he has taught philosophy at UB since 1962. In 1996, he won the Herbert W. Schneider Award for lifetime contributions to the understanding and development of Am<rican3· losoplty from the Society for van cement ofAmerican Philosop y. Hare is past president of the New York State Philosophical Association, on the board of the American Philosophical Association and a member of UB's Center for Cosnitive Science. Since 1974, he has edited The 7lwu<Jdions of the a.m.. s. J>oj,.,. Soriety: A Qumteriy/ourniJl inAmeriazn Pltilosoplry.

Goodman, who provided FSEC members with imp le ment ation guidelines for the new program that were developed by the SUNY Provost's Advisory Task Force on General Education, pointed out that the Board of Trustees wants each campus to prepare and submit its individual general -education pro- gram proposals by Dec. 31 so that the new curricu la can be imple mented by Fall 2000. However, he said that it is .. not likely we can do anything in that amount of time." The SUNY trustees last Dec. I S adopted a general -education curriculum for the system's four uni versity centers and 13 four-year colleges that requires candidates for bachelor's degrees to complete at least 30 credit hours of coursework in mathematics. natural science, social science, American history, western civilization, other world civili zatiom. humanities and the arts, foreign languages. basic commun ic.,. t10n and reasoning, and information management. not making the curriculum available fo r comment by faculty in advan ce of the trustees' adoption. Goodman also told executive committee members that he was concerned about a partkular clause in the trustees' guidelintS relating to transfer students that says ..courses ccnified as fulfilling particular gen eraJ-education requirements by any institution in the system will fulfill those requirements at any other insti tution in the system , without the necessity of individual articulation agreements." He referred to this p,art of the implementation guidelines as "problematic,"since it means .. if a student has completed a general-education program somewhere else, they are exempt from UB's" program. The transfer clause, he said, focuses on "oounes," while "we should be focusing on learning o utcomes." Although Provost David Triggle will have"oversight responsibilities" fo r UB's program, Goodman said that Kerry Grant, dean of the College of Ans and Sciences, has agreed to "be responsible for working out the details of the program." Pres ident William R. Gre in er noted that although the Board of Trustees may have rushed into the issue, the SUNY-wide, general-education curriculum is something that "ought tobetakenseriously" by UB. "'ThC!re is always room for improve ment,"Greiner said about US's genaal -education program. "1 like to look for the positive." Some senators noted that the SUNY curriculum differs from US's in that it requires American history and a separatt' Western civilization course, as well as only basic profi · ciency in a foreign language while US's program requires at least in - tcrm<diate proficiency. The SUNY curriculum also calls for two sepa · rate courses, one each in the hu manities and the arts, whiJe US's program combines the two into one. Senate Clair Peter Nicker.ion asked the Educational Programs and Po~­ cies Committee to rrnew the implementation guide~ for the SUNY general-education requirement. ln other business. Goodman up dated FSEC members on th e universil'y's fall enroll ment, and pointed out with "great satisfuction" that the percentage of continuing/ returning students had increased to 84.2 percent this fall from 81.7 percent last year. He no ted that the retention success is due to several factors, among them block scheduling, UB 101 and the aggressive recruitment of merit - based scholarship recipients. Based on an enrollment "snapshot " taken Sept. 17, the actual hcadcount at UB for Fall 1999 totals 24,257 students, 637 students over the 23,620student target set by SUNY and 887 more students than FaU 1998. UCI goes online with Web site By IENNIFER UWANDOWSIU Reporter Staff T H E ongoing effort tore vitalize neighbo rhoods around the South Campus and beyond has taken a high -tech tum into cyben;pace. The University Community Initiative (UCI) , formed to revive and stabilize urban and suburban neigh- ing on the p roject since January. Vu-avong says he searched lntcmet sites for several cities. trying to get a sense of what to indude on the UCI site, while keeping in mind a userfrien dly design. "You don't want to make it too romple.x," he stresses. Gchl says the site was created with the assumptio n that the primary user would be located off campus. "UCI had the goal to be more vis- borhoods in the a rea, has gone online to make its presence bener known in Western New York and wanted to "find a way to share in- around \he world. UCI, a unit of the Office of the Vice President for Pub~c Service and Urban Affairs, created the Web site formation collected" by the organi zation , she says. "(The Web site) seemed like a good m arriage between the two." after members of the initiative's development group sought a more accessible way to promote infonnation sive, with informatio n and maps of the "university community," which about the neighborhoods UCI is focusing on, and receive feedback from members of those communities. Members of the development group wanted a resource to which th ey could direct people interested in finding out what is going o n in the university comm unity, says Danis Gehl, UCI's project di rector. The Web site, which has been up and running since April at <hitp :/ / wll)gs.buff• lo.edu/ ud> was de- signed by Sackda Viravong. a graduate of the School of Architecture and Plann ing.

The site outlines the chief goals ofUC I: To sustain the attractiveness of its neighborhoods and to address the future of the neighborhoods surrou nding the universit y's So uth Campus. and to stabilize, revitalize and reinvent the neighborhoods to ensure they"remain attractive places to live, work. and play, well into the future." The "UCI Discussion Board" offers users a place o n the si te where they can post their thoughts about the site or o n any community issue, a nd where others can read those commerits and respond to them. The site soon will feature a caJendar of UCI -sponsored events. The Web site remains a work Ln progress, Gch1 points out, and one of the priorities is to improve the visual content. "O ur goal is to have a virtual tour'of the neighborhoods" so visitors to the site can get a better feel for the communities, she says. The site, which rec~ives between 700 and 800"hits" per month, provides a comprehensive look at the university community, Gehl notes. " For most users, even intema1 to the university ... it really is a good so urce of information, no t on ly about the project. but about the community in general," Gehl says.

An analyst of cuJturaJ history, Lit erature and film, Braudy has in one exceptional book docunu~ nt<.-d the role and meaning of celebrity icons of the past. He now is at work chronicling the historical meanings of"masculinity" and how it has in fluenced and been influenced by cul tural change in Western societies. On Oct. 26.

The event is sponsored by the Samuel P. C..apen C hair in the Hu manities held by Bruce Jackson. SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of English in the College of Aru and Sciences. Braudy says the "assumption" to which he refers in the title is that somehow men and war go together. Similar popular beliefs are expressed in jokes about testosterone and the like, he says. noting that aU of us hold beliefs about what masculinity is and is not. ''I'm writing a book on that subject," says Braudy... It looks at whether changing cultural attitudes toward masculinity can be mapped historicall y in temlS of major wars. changes in war technology, the relation of the soldier to the rest of soci ety. the makeup of armies.". Jackson says Braudy is a "perfect choice to be the 1999 Capen lecturer because his talk will raise key ques· tions about gender, violence, ethics, ethniciry, and historical and cuJturaJ anaJysis." Braudy says: ..As feminism has taught us, ·man' is the stable term "Some of the crucial themes in the alism, and sexuality shape male ideotity.

Work could lead to fine-resolution printing UB researchers develop technology that could be used for encryption, visible images By WIN GOLDBAUM News Services Editor I T sounds like something out of a James Bond movie: an electronic inkjet printer that prints with invisible ink_ But earlier this month, UB pby>i· cists published a paper in Applied Physics LeNers that describes a de· tremely tiny, hard copies of large documents, like books," said Sen.

The particles are aligned along the direction of an applied magnetic field. "When an appropriately orches· trated mecbanical impulse is app~ed along the direction of that magnetic field, a tight bundle of energy called a solitary wave is generated in the chain offerroftuid particles," Sen explained. "This sotitary wave travels along the chain and pushes a partide out of the ~quid and onto the paper, or whatever is bei ng im · printed, and the image is made." The mechanical impulse elimi· nates the need for nozzles. which or· dinarily provide the impetus for spraying the ink onto paper.

It seems that a group of students ha.d read the article in the Genera tion that discussed the in - crease of funds to the athletic program. It sounded like these students took great offense to the amoun t of money put into m oving UB into the NCAA Division 1- A ranking, while other pro gr ams suffered due to inadequate funding. It is a sad testament to our society that funding for th e arts is secondary seat football ~urn, and a 25,000plus-seat baskdball arena There are tens of thousands of dollars-;>erhaps hundreds of thousands but I don't know the figures---<illocated for athletic scholarships. Parking on game day is a nightmare, and citywide traffic problems are in - creased tenfold. The University of Tennessee is the defending national football champion, and the women's basketball team won the NCAA natiOnal championship an unprecedented three years in a row. The amount of money generated by these venues is truly impressive. And, yes. it seems that athletics is indeed held in higher esteem than academics. This is the misconception I want to argue. Each year, the university an enhanced athletic program. Let me explain: I am a transfer student from the University of Tennessee. College athletics-football and basketball m particular-are HUGE at this institution, as weU as most institutions in the South. And, there arc many students there who care for neither sport. A grotesque amount of money is spent each ye;;~r to renovate or repair a I 07,000-plus- "Looking •t M•ln Street" Recent pholOgraphs or Buffalo's Ma 1n Street taken by students in the School of ~~~~ ~le~~i~a~i~n1 ~'3 Hayes Hall, South Campus, through Oct 29.

II is, however, a misjudgment on society's part. if we were not a society driven by sports and entertainment, then perhaps these students would have been protesting the lack of funding for college athletics instead. Not that I feel athletics are any more or less important than academics. What I propos< is that we should look at what benefits can be derived from chanCe at a better future for them selves. They are held to a stnd academic expectation-an expectauon that some non -athlet es wo uld be hard pressed to ach1eve. However, th is is an es rablis hed athletic program, and I do not re· meJllber what it was like in the beginning stages. As the University of Tennessee has been a public state land-grant university since 1796, the athletic programs were in place loi1g before I or my parents were born. I'm sure it was a long and painful process. I am not, by writing this letter, suggesting that athletic programs are more important than acadern · ics, or vice versa.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The research, publish ed in th e current issue of Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences, dem onstrates the power and utility of new photonic materials developed at UB that have allowed scientists this first-ever, bird's-eye view of the cellular pathway of the chcmothera· pe\Jtic agent. The compound used was AN 152, a combination of th e com - monly prescribed chemotherapeut ic agent doxorubicin, which is linked to an LH -RH (luteinizing receptors o n them. This makes the compound specific to cancers of the ovary, breast, cervix and prostate, and possibly others as well. AN - 152, now in anim<iltrials. was first sy nthes ized by Andrew V Schally, 1977 Nobel laureate in medicine and director of the Endocrine, Polypeptide and Can cer In stitute of the Veterans Affairs Mt.-di cal Center in New Orleans, and Attila Nagy. associate professor of medicine at Tulane Un iversi l y School of Medicine. Both a re coauthors o n th e paper. The UB research ers were able lo track this compound through a hu man breast-cancer cell by co mbin ing it with a fluorescent probe (C625) synthesized in the laboratory of Paras Prasad, SUNY Distin guished Professor in the Depart ment of Chemistry in the College \ of Arts and Soences. Prasad also 1~ executive director of UB's new In stitute for Lasers, PhotoniCs ...111d Biophotonics, where the cxpt: n mental work was done. These findings prov1dr rt'·searr:h ers with evidence that AN - 152 di rectly enters ca.ncer cells, accumu lales in the nucleus and assooates with the cell's ch romosomes, wh~eh had t--e e n s uspec ted l.'lut nrwr p roven. According to the rc::sear..:hers, thb s1gnificant ly increases th e safew margin of doxorubicin , poten!ial ly allowing for much lower doses to be used and greatly rt"Ciucing the risk of side effects in patients. "While the mechanism of ae1 1on o f many cytotoxic compounds ~~ known, we havt" never been able to optically track a compound to a particular tumor site,.. said Schally. "Thf."

SIS to develop new degree programs School ofInformation Studies to focus on human aspect of information transfer By PATRICIA DONOVAN News Servkes Editor N EW degree programs related to issues and research on the human aspects of information transfer are being developed by the School of Information Studies (SIS). The school was formed July 1 when the School of lnfonnation and Li - brary Sl udies (S ILS) changed its name and merged with the Department of Communication. Thomas Jaoobson, acting cjean of 1he new school and former chair of thecommunicationdepart:mc:n~says SIS will nol design new technologies, but will address two areas: public need in the area of information and library studies, and the application of new technologies and their effect on system users at the personal, organizational and societal levels. New programs under development inclutka master's degree in information and co mmunidtfon (MI C), a five-year bachelor's! masters-degree program thai is ccpected to be highly atlractive lo undergraduales. The MIC program also will operale as a stanll-alone master's degree. "The MlC should ap~ lo students from other schools~o want to continue their education and to adults who want to retool for career advancc:ment," Jacobson says. He adds that the program will not focus on training in library slcills per se nor oh social-science theory, but ratherooncentrate on the use of rompuler and network applications as they are employed in a wide range of organizations and the jobs performed within them. Contenl areas will address information storage and retrieval, Web applications, trends in information lcchnology and policy and organizational communication. Jacobson says the school also will offer a new doctorate in library and information science. The program . already approved by the stale Department of Education, will be revised and refined to take advantage of the new resources and programmatic aims of SIS. The new doctoral program will incorporate communication courses for basic theory and research skills, as weU as an undetermined number of dectives chosen to incorporate a cognate area in communication. Although organized as a freestanding school, SIS reports to ""'rr Gran~ dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), for purposes of programming. The school also ernploys some.aspects of the commitlee system that is in place in CAS. SIS is composed of a Departmenl of Communication , headed by Frank Tutzauer, associate professor and acting chair, and a Department of Library and Information Studies, beaded by Neil A. Yerkey, professor and acting chair. A national search for a permanent dean is under way and the position is expected to be filled before the end of nat sum- mer, says Jaa>bscm. The original proposal for the new school was developed over a twoyear period of discussion, assessment and planning by members of the faculties involved. InitiaUy,concern was expressed by some faculty members in SILS about dropping the word "library" from the name of the new schoo~ particularly given SILS' national reputation in its field SII.S consistently had ranked among the top 25 hbrary schools in the nation, evm though it was one of the few schools without a doctoral program. Jaoobson says there is a national trend toward merging university· based, information-studies programs and droppingtheword"lixary"fiom the name of the resulting entity. "11lis has caused some concern in the library community;" Jaoobson says; "but the accrediting association for programs in_library studies recc:ntly reaccredited the M1.S (Maslee of Ubrary Scieoce) program. in 'Pile of the name c:banse-" Besides the MLS, the school olfm a bacbelor of arts degree and a dociorate in oommuniation. It also offers a master's-degree progf.m in applied communication. He adds that rqardless of the changes, students will experiencz no majordisruptioos in their programs. )aoobson points out that faculty members in the merged units share a broad range ofresearch and !<:adJ. inginterests,indudingint<rnatipoal communication and librar¢ship; telecommunications n~rlting; interpersonal, organizational or mass communications; information seeking. sources and organization, and content analysis. �Septembet30.1!ei/Vnl31.No 6 Reporte.

The conference will reoognize the many remarkable women who have contributed to the betterment of the law school com munity and the nation's legal profession over the past century.

Workshops will b< held on topics that include workplace issues, access to preted the laws that denied women the righu of equal citizenship, including the right to vote and practice law. To win their rights, women had to overcome tremendous social and legal obstacles. They had to change minds, as weU as laws. It was in that atmosphere that in 1897twoyoungwomen from Westem ~York entered the UB law School, which had b<en founded I0 years earlier, joining 30 male daiomaU:s in the Buffalo law School.

In his office in Squire Hall on the South Campus, the chair of the Department of Periodontology has hundreds of bottles, porcelain and metal tooth -powder containers instructing users to brush five times daily, an old toothbrush with an i""ry head, canistm of dental floss and empty bottles of mouth~ne of which boasts the original Listerine label and a cork in its top. But his coUecting of dental para· phemalia,some of which dates back to the late 1800s, has takm him in a different direction. He now collects music boxes. "As pan of that coUecting." he says of the dental antiques, " I became interested in the music box." At home, Ciancio has I 5 music boxes, half of which he says date back to before 1900. His priud possession, howevrr, is an 1894 Regina music box. It's no ordinary music box. he explains, since it's valued at nearly $10,000. Roughly the size of a record player, the Regina plays 15 half-inch metal discs. The box was used in private residences for entertainment and also as a coin-operated unit in saloons. ice cream parlors and the like, becoming the predecessor to the juke box. Along with the purchase of the music box, Ciancio acquired 200 discs. The purchase was something he says his children wouldn't let him live down at the time. While they w.re boping for a more modem stereo system, wbat they got was a relic. "My kids mocked to make money, since he initially made the CD to give as gifts to friends who enjoyed the mwic. "It was a fun thing to do." he says. meforbuyingamusic box" instead of a new stereo. he says. But des pite his children's joking about .wbat he calls " the CD player of yesterday," friends enjoyed the music provided by his Rq9na. " People would come to my house and ... listen to the music box, and (they) wanted to listeo again and again," he says. adding that he was inspired by their interest and wanted to make the music more widely available. · So he cut a CD.

Albu querque, N.M. Buffalo, N.Y. Buffalo! That's right. Just as these two thriving sun belt cities did this past spring. Buffalo will host a Council P on Competitiveness presentation on innovation on OcL 28 at UB.It will be held at noon in the Cmter for the Arts on the North Campus. Sponsored by the School of Engineering and Apptied Sciences as part o'r-its third annual IndustryUniversity Day, the Buffalo meeting is being presented by the Council on Competitiveness, based in Washington,D.C. The council, considered an intel ligence-gathering group for major U.S. corporations, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to driving U.S. economic competitiveness in"world markets. Aimed at chief executives. senior managers, community leaders and others who want to be part of mak- ing.Buffalo thrive economically, the event is being planned with broad participation from major corporations and firms in the region, as well as from important new playm. such as th~ New Millennium and the 21st Century groups. The forum is designed to spur in regions across the U.S. a dialogue abo ut "The New Challenge to America's Prosperity : Findings from the Innovation Index," a Council on CompetitiVeness study that sounds a " wake-up caW' to American industry._ GaryT.DiCamillo,chairmanand chief executiv< officer of Polaroid, Inc., will be the keynote speaker. He will speak about the findings of the council's innovation index from the perspectiV< of an individual corporation. The Innovation lndc:x. grew out of discussions with chief executives, academics and labor leaders that were sponsored by the Council on Competitiveness. Mark Karwan, dean of the school of engineering, was one of the few academics who was invited to participate. "This report and the focus of our lndustry/Univenity Day meeting is about improving the ability ofbusiness to innovate," he said. " It 's easy to say that other countries can al ways make something cheaper than the U.S. can, and in many cases that's true. What we as a nation and a region need to do is to be innovators, who are protected elther by patents or other mechan isms, so that we continue to develop products and processes that allow us to be com- petitive." Karwan cited local examples of companies taking leading positions in their industries, such a~ Powertrain, which obtained the contract for the new world engine. and American Axle, whkh invested in the most modem technologies and equipment and implement¢ 5 aggressive training programs much of which are done through UB's Business Alliance. ..

Gangani will spend two weeks al UB teaching sev era! jazz and tap dance courses in the Department ofTheatre and Dance.

Gangani 's performan~.:e will be presented by the Office of interna · A highly regarded practitioner of classical Indian dance, Gangaru partners--have to continue to inno- vate in processes and products." He noted that in order to do that , companies and educational institu tions alike must figure out ways to keep pace with the rising cost of maintaining a sound research infra strudure. "UB has some strengths here, in terms of maintaining state-of-theart equipment in research labs and in student and faculty IT faciliti es," said Karwan. The Innovation index, which was developed by Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School and Scott Stern of the Sloan School at the Massachusetts lnstituteofTechnol· ogy. uses statistical methods to iden tify fadors that influence the innovative power of nations. The repon warns that , while currently in the drivers' seat of the global economy. the U.S. soon may be vulnerable economically because the competition is rapidly gaining.

A third contributing factor, said Sullivan, was the "heightmed awareness about the importance ofenrollment in increasing the budget_" Under SUNY's new budget allocation process (BAP), thec3mpuskeepsall of its tujtion revenue. "We directly linked enrollment to the budget like we never ba.., before and the deans have really responded to it, especially in the graduate schools," he explained Based on the n~ revenuerincentive-based budget model, UB will rc:a:ive a pro, jected $4.5 million in "marginal" tu- ition revenue for the 1999-2000 aca demic year, whidl will« distributed among units according w their enrollment figures_ .. Deans are starting to see the impact of enrollment perfonnance on their budgets," Sullivan added, but noted there has been a "variable respon.se'" and that some areas have done better than oth~ in terms of recruiting. "We worked with each unit to develop a target figure, or baseline," said SuiJivan_ According to the tuition-revenue incentive program, a component ofUB's new"all-funds" approach to budgeting, individual units will receive 6o percent of the "marginal" tuition revenue for each student that meets its target, Sullivan explains. The incenfu is that the allocation jumps to 90 percent for each student that exceeds that target figun_ foot~ all Revenues will be= d istributed to individual units according to th is method, probabl y by the end of Spring 2000, he said. Sullivan added that with 887 more students on campus than in Fall 1998, the university has generated 16,338 mo re credit hoursNan increase of 5.6 percent from last year's credit-hour levels-which has increased workload significantly. In spite of this year's high enrollments, UB standards have not suf~ fered.Aithougb the mean combined SAT score for this year's freshman class is down slightly, from 1145 to 1137, nearly one-third of the fresh men this year have combined scores Ohio Unlvenity 45, UB 6 Jamel Pottenon rushed lor • .,.,_-~ I80 yank on 17 carries V>d()n;o~,.,.-bledfo.- , 393 yank on <he pound;, postinz • 4!H.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

G reiner touched o n sev· eral significant university successes of the past year, major long-tenn goals and specific faculty roncerns in his annual report to the Voting Faculty on Tuesday. Greiner first recognized the fac ulty members who have left UB, as well as those who have achieved new positions. He ~ported that II new full professors have joined UB's fac ulty over the course of the past year, while 26 have been promoted to full professors. Greiner, who said that a search is under way for a new p rovost, noted that new deans will have to be identified in the upcoming year for the Graduate School of Education, the School of Architecture and Planning, and the School oflnfonnation Stud· ies in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). He pointed out that althoug h Hearing and Deafness. and the col- CAS currently is overextended in its · labora tion between UB and Roswell expenditures due to "aggressive ap- Park Cancer Institute. "I think the pointmcnts" of new fac ulty and staff, increased enrollment this fall should drive the additional income of the college up by a ..couple mil lion dollars." Greiner recognized this year's disap~intingst:atebudgetoutromeand emphasized the need for VB to di versify its revenue sources, as it is now in "theeraofa11-fundsbudgeting." He pointed out Ne-.vYork'sdistinaion as 50th in the country as fur as state tax support for higher education and notedthat "weh<rVCmadcsomeenormous forward progress over the last IOyeani in every area under very, very difficult circumstances." Greiner also touched on major organized resea rch accomp lis h rnents in the past year, including the Center for Computational Research; the Institute for Lasers, Pho tonics and Biophotonics; The Cen ter for UB-RosweUcombination will \x extraordinary in rcmns o( advancin~ biomedical research and health care," G reiner noted. adding that by standing togethe r, the rwo lnstitu lions wjJI be much more effect ive in pursuing these initiatives. In terms of health affuirs,he noted the importance or the reorgani1..a tion efforts or the medical school's practice plan, the merger and consolida tion or clinical departments and the pursuit of plans to establish a significant university presence on High Street in downtown Buffalo.

While VB policy already requires that courses be evaluated by stu· dents, the committee originally was asked to determine whether course evaluations, particularly students' written comments, should be published or otherwise made accessible to students and whether an attempt should be made to standardize procedures across the campus . The report, presented by committee Chair Ronald Gentile, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Counseling and Educational Psychology, noted that thert is no point in recommending "one best way for all; given UB's history of non-standardized proce- dures in regard to course evalua- tions, but concluded that it would be useful to implement some mini ~ mum requirements.

No.5 Reparte. Retirement issue fuels freeze Expected retirements, new hires overextend CAS. budget BY MAltA MC~S RtpOtttr Assistant Editor T HE hiring freeu facing the College of Arts and Sciences is due largely to an over-anticipation of fac ult y ret irements, structural problems, and commitments made prior to the inception of the college, President William R Greiner and Provost David Triggle told the FacuJty Senate Executive Committee last week. "The good news is, a lot of great new faculty have been hired (in the CAS)," Gneiner reported. "The bad news is. if we continue to spend at the current rate-the rate that started when the fiscal year began in Julywe would have the <:;oUege of Arts and Sciences exaeding the state appropriation by somewhere in the order of $2 -$3 million." He added that Triggle is working with CAS Dean Kerry Grant to see that the expenditure rate in the college is brought down closer to, and then in line with, its appropriation. "In order to accomplish this, over the nat year or 18 months. there will be a tightness in hiring and some other things," Greiner said. "Hopes for new appointments will be delayed and we'll have to wait for retirements to actually occur." Triggle explained that most of the 32 faculty~nes that have turned over in the CAS since 1998 were due to retirement s. However, many of those facul ty members who were expected to retire arc still on the payroll because of retirement incen- tives or simply because they intend to leave but have not actually left. "We have hirod against those ~ es and are still paying old ones," said Triggle, adding that the CAS hired 38 full-time, tenure-track faculty and several full -time equivaJents during this same time period. "The issue around the College of Arts and Sciences is significaotlydue to an over-anticipation of what was going to happeo with faculty mirements. but it will certainly require some caution over the next year.in terms of hiring," said 'lliggle. "Nonetheless, a great deal of the hiring that would have been done has, in fact, already been done.• Triggle noted that the issue was comp~cated by the faa that Graot took over as dean of.the new college in the middle of an academic year, by which time a lot of "commitments had been out there from the previous structures." Greiner noted that UB is now ln ao era of"all-funds budgeting." The new notion is that every dollar, regardless of its source. is usable for Opu.Jtions of the university. Al though "we're used to first spending all of the state appropriation," said Gneiner, "there are tradeoff:s that can be made between one kind of have in the past," he said. " In making the transition into this, we're going to have to get people to think differently and creatively about the ways they spend all of the moneys available." Greiner's report to the FSEC also incl uded a respollS( to environmental concerns among members of the university community about theremoval of trees on the south shore l.ake LaSalle to accommodate more new apartment -style housing for students. He noted that there are significant expanses of natural areas on the North Campus. which will continue to be preserved in the years ahead, but said that "some of the beautiful, interesting spots on our campus are not natural" and cited the two lake. as an example. Greiner said that the lak£s serve a functional purpose, since they were built to allow for drainage. "They were created by people, and as far as I'm concerned, they can be manipulated by people for the good of the institution," he said ... If we were going to use that site for anyt h ing other than a sta nd of trees., it turns o ut that the tre~ had to come down because you have to raise the level of the site to make it dollar and another." usable."

Message from the President As the November election draws near, it is appropriate to remind ourselves of several important parameters pertaining to political fund-taising and other campaign activloo by or among university personnel. These parameters are found in state law and It Is essen. tial that UB employees stay within them. . This message Is not intended as a comprehensive review of existing laws regarding political activities by state employees, but it will provide guidelines for appropriate and Inappropriate behavIor. Your attention to and compliance with the following points are greatly appreciated: • There must be a dear separation between political campaign activities and the performance of duties as employees of the State University of New Yo'*. Political activities, includ ing fund-raising, may not be condurted on university property or time, using uni1 versity funds (all sources), or in UB's name. • No political fund-r~lslng tickets may be sold, purchased or ttansfen-ed on campus, inside or outside of buildings. Similarly, no money or checks may be paid or collected on campus for such purposes. • Moreover, un~ity employees are prohibited from soliciting political contributions off houn and off campus·from other unlve<sity employees, ~such citrumstances give either the·reality or appearance of coercion. UB personnel should not solicit such contributions, nor attempt to compel any other political oction or vote, from those lndMduals over whom they have supervisory authority. a No university~ taxes, supplies, lett.mead, postage or other stole toSOUrCeS of ony, kind may be used for political purposes. These and other restrictions are primarily contained in Section 74 of th<i Public Officers Law, Section 107 of the Civil Service Law and Section 17-1S8 of the Election Law.

MAIICHIONE RtpOrttr Cqntribotor T H£ university has joined with a consortium of elite universities that wiU market to the world their online distance-learning pro- grams via a directory on the World Wide Web. C.Orge J. Lopos, dean of Millard Fillmore CoUege, led the effort that resulted in UB gaining membership in the consortium of 26 public and private universities designated as Research 1 universities by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The initiative, known as "R l.edu," will maintain a Web site at <httyJ/ www.outmleh.washington.edu.rU>. The site will allow users to view a listing of panicipaling consortium members and to search their online distance-learning offerings by subject area, program type and institu tion. Credits and degrees for completed coursework will be awarded by the member institutions. Lopos said he is particularly pleased with the ''showcase" pages to be featured on the site that .. will give member institutions an opportu.nity to h.ighljght a different program each month." He noted that MFC. which has taken the lead ro le in developing UB's distance-learning efforts, will coordinate registration for US aca demicdepartments and units interested in listing online distance learning courses through the Rl.edu initiative. "This process will facilitate an tntegrated university-wide effort," he added. Mary H. Gresham, vice president for public service and urban affairs. praised Lopos for taking the initiative to secure US's place in theoonsortiwn. "I commend Dean Lopos on seizing this opportunity to partner with other Research I universities, while, at the same time, reaching out to a previously untapped, non -tradi - tional student audience. Additionally, he has placed UBand itsromprchen· sive continuing-education program in the forefront of programs offered by public research universities in the Nortbeast," she noted. "In only two years, Dean Lopos' 'Distance Learning Team' bas dem· cern. Besides, students as consum ers will chooK what best fits the1r educationaJ needs." Since its inception in 1997, MFC's di stance -learning program has onstrated what a strong Krvice ori entation and student-advocacy fo cus can mean for an institution's online program---iuccess." Dave Szatmary, acting vice provost at the Uniwrsity of Washington, the coordinating university for this effort, said "the Rl.edu site will provide a gateway to information grown from tllr-« online courses and 20 enrolled students to 21 courses with 362 students. This fall, MFC's about high-quality distance-learn· ing programs from large, weU -financed, established institutions." Lopos said that to be induded in the consortium, universities must be Research I institutions, demonstrate a commiunent to the next gen~ra­ tion {Internet 2) of networked - based, distance-learning programs and materials, have a minimum number of distance-learning course/program offerfugs and be a member of the Associa tion of American Universities (AAU ). Ln addition to US and the Uni- ve"ity of Washington, participants in the consortium are: Columbia University, Cornell University, Indi ana University, The Johns Hoplcins University, MIT, Michigan State University, New York University, Penn State University. Rutgers University, Stanford University, University of British Columbia, University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, University of Colorado.

" It's about outreach and providing a flexible, convenient means by which students can continue their education without leav ing their world-home, office or commu nity," added Lopos. Accordingly, MFC recently introduced a new tag line for its distance learning pro- gram:"YourWorldOurOassroom." While US's participation in th e " R l .edu" initiative focuses upon online opportunities, MFC also of· fers programs and oourses via other distance-learning modalities. jour· na!ism, psychology and American cinema arc among six telecourses that will run on local cable access channels (Adelphia Ca ble and Lockport Community Television) this semester.

It 's this"customizi ng" feature that makes MyUS unique among other educational and com mercial sites. Bernstein points o ut.

Christopher Mele, assistant pro· fessor of sociology, is writing a book on race, class and regional development in southeast Nonh Carolina. He lived in that region for three years while on the fac· ulty of the University of North Carolina, Wtlmington. " Tbe growth has provoked residential and commercia! overdevelopment in fragile tidaJ areas that cannot sustain it," Mete says, calling these problems "the work of individu· als and groups who appear oblivious to the risks they provoke." Among the regional factors that have contributed to the growth along sou th~t North Carolina's coast, the most important was the several preceding decades of under· developmml. Mcle says that before the I 9705, most of New Hanover County, and in fact , the entire southeast region of the state, was sparsely populated, underdevclaped and cut off from the state's core growth area-Raleigh. Durham and Chapel Hill. Because of this, ihe land, housing, and labor of the Cape Fear region weresignifi cantly less expensive than national averages.

"The law enp>urages new construction in setbaclc.areas away &om beaches and the relocation ofbuildings, such as the Hatteras Light house, when they are threatened," Melesay>.

She adds that the artist cares little for horticuJture or nature, but rather is interested in how weeds signify cultural meaning. To define a plant as a weed is an act of cultural bias, Fischman ex· plains. It categorizes one life form as "useless and irritating. by compari· son to others deemed beautiful, de· sirable and worthwhile." ....

Fischman, who calls Matelli's art "'audaciou.s, smart and mischievously winy," reveals his reputation in the art world for sculpture that pushes boundaries of subject, taste, meaning and material.

The task force will deliver an interim repon to the president on or about Dec. I, and conclude its work at such time as determined by the president after consultition with the task force and other appropriate constituencies. To enable the task force to look at certain specific issues and to explore these issues in depth, the group has been divided into four sub-committees. These sub-oommittecs are being chaired by mernben Henry Durand, Rtgina Toomey, Paul Francavilla and Glendora Johnson-Cooper.

Sincerely, Nobon L Townsend Auodotr VKe President SrudmrAffaifl Chair, Task force on Rac10l and E.thnk Divmity Long-term global warming and climate change should concern all To the Ed ltor: In the Aug. 26, 1999, issue of theReporter, there was an artide, "Drought, heat are normal , Ebert says" by Patricia Donovan. A5 it was wrincn, many readers must have thought Professor Ebert's comments referred both to short -term woather variability and to prospects for long-term dimate change. But after having read the artide and then talking with him, I know that he was talking about short-term weather variability. But the artide seems to imply-see the opening paragraph-that we should have no concern about long-term global wanning and the consequent dimate change. I know from talking with Professor Ebert that he shares my view that we should all be greatly con=ned about long-term climate change, In fairness to readm of the Reporter, I think I should explain why we feel that way. The Intergovernmental Pane:! on Climate Change (JPCq was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Na t ions Environment Programme. The 1995 repo rt by IPCC Working Group I, on the SciChange~ was pre· pared by 78 lead authors from 20 countries, assisted by more than 400 ence of Climate contributing authors from 26 coun · tries and more than 500 reviewers from 40 countries. It represents our best scientific guidance concernin g global climate change fro m th e wo rld 's best climate sc ienti sts. Among the findings are that " Most ...studjes have detected a significant change and show that the observed warming trend is unlikely to be of natural origin." and "...the balance of evidence suggesli that there is a discenuble human influence on global climate." In other words, global climate is heating up and human activities are contributing to the change. Proje<:tionsbased on business-as-usual scenarios of continued emissions of greenhouse gases indicate significant additional global heating and serious climate change, That's why businessas-usual is NOT a good idea. It i.s true, of course, that heat and oold, drought and Hood, are normal variations in th e weather we expe· r icnce. Th at is, th ere is a lot of "noise" in th(' cl imntl· signal. T he challcng(' of I PCC Wo rking G ro up I was to dctenn ine if recen t global warming is. in fact, lxrond the range of normal variabili ty and , if MJ, if the hea ting can be attributed at all Ill human activities. In thei r repo rt.!> of 1990 and 1992 they did not declare that th ey had found that to be true; they were not sure. By 1995, their an swers were YES and YES. I cannot believe that anyonl..' read· in g the a rticle by Ms. Do novan wo uld find the impression left by it to be consistent with the co nsensus of the world's leading climate scientists concerning the present under· standing of recent and future ell mate change and the human. impad that we can exped in the next cen- tury.

R<ferring to the goal that has been put in place to double the university's sponsored-n=u-ch doll= over fiv< years, Greiner acknowl- edged that while the goal is "very aggressive." it is possible, but "not without very hard work." He recognized that since the arts and humanities programs are not likely to generate external funding from such traditional sources as the federal government or industrial sponsors, aggressive efforts mwt be made to obtain funding from phi· lanthropy and foundation grants. Greiner reponed that 50 faculty members generate 57 percent of US's sponsored-rescw dt dollars and said one of the things that will lx looked at in the next few yean. pn marily in the sciences and engineering, will be "who we have on board with the capacity to expand th e1r sponsored research." In the realm of public service and urban affairs, Greiner repon ed that as part of the Univer.;ity Community Initiative, US has purchased a house in the University Heights area "Th e goal is to buy a house in bad shape, convert it to somethmg Ill very good shapc,seUit at a reasonable price and, by doing so, give a little more hope to the neighborhc)(X!;' he ~xplain ed .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

(Details on page 7) UB establishes photonics, laser center Institute to capitalize on links between university and WNY industries, institutions I By D..l.fH c;oLDBAUM N~ Services Editor HE university has cs- T rabfished a n~w . multidisciplinary insti tute to conduct research designed to harness the power of light in a broad spectrum of applications and potential products, ranging from tele com muni ca tions to ca ncer therapy. The In st itut e for Lasers. Photonics and Biopllotonic:s, which will capitalize on synergie; between VB and Western New York industry and research and medical institutions, was announced by Provost David Triggle. "VB and Western New York en joy a unlque set of resOurces. both locally and across the border in Canada, which has made it possible for us to take an early lead in lasers, photonics and biophotonics re search by creating a world-class instirute in these fields," saidTriggte. He said that the inst·i tute's goals are to condud research and development on new materials and technologies leading to tech nology transfer, to provide education and industrial training for developing a skilled workforce and to offer a world-class facility for consulting and testing. The idea is to foster economu.. growth in Western New York by tappingintoUB'sstrengthsinlasers., optica.ltechnologiesandbiotechnology. "This institute is a stellar example of the highly productive, intcrdisctplinary pannerships that UB is fmtering with businesses. industries and research institutions in Western New York and southern Ontario," said President William R. Greiner. "Because UB's photonics research facilities under Professor Prasad have focused on both the funda mental science involved m the de:. sign of photonic materials and their industrial application.!>, we have aJ. rcadyscoredmajorach,evcmentsin the preparation of new opt1cal rna terials - paving the v.·ay for add1 tional successes from our new mst1 tute in the near future. "We' re excited abou t th.: mstitutc'spotential tostimulatceconomic development in the regio n. and we look forward to th e institute's future advance; in scien tific knowledge and th<> development of new partnersh1ps with other institutions under Professor Prasad's leaderShip,"' added Gremer. Photonics is the mformation processing counterpan of electronics, using photons instead of ele< trans to process information. The Jnsritute for Lasers, Photomcs and Biophotonics has its roots in UB's Photonics Research Labo ratory (PRL ), established m 1990 and consid ered o ne of the most advanced and comprehensive facilities for photonics research m the U.S. The PRL is hom~ to nearlv S 10 million worth of equ1pment . acquired over the past decade.

What sort of services does the learning Center provlde7 The Learning Cen ter is divided into two broad categories of service. We have an instructional component and a tutorial component. In the area of instruction, we offer courses in mathematics and writing for students who are not ready to take calculus or English 101. The tutorial component is comprised of three very popular services: The Math Place, The Writing Place and The Evening Science Place. The primary goal of The Math Place is to offer assistance to students enrolled in ULC 146, 147, 148, and MTH 115, 121. 122, 141 , and 142. The Writing Place helps students with any kind o f written assignment. Trained tutors offer students feedback on their writing, identifying areas that need improvement and suggesting tech niqu es for re vision. The Evening Science Place, which is cosponsored by the Student Associa tion, offers assistance with introducwry -lcvel courses in math ematics. chemistry, biology and physics. We also offer other subjects upon request. Who can use the center7 center is open to any undergraduate student currently cn :roiJed at the university.

Center7 There is no real typical student. I guess the common denominator would be anyone who is looking for assistance. Wh•t Is the most common problem that student1 come In with ? Besides the obvious content-area problems, many students are in need of organizational skills and time management. Some of these issues come up in the tutoring sessions. Oftentimes, a student can't explain why a course is not going well, and so broader work-habit issues will come up. At other times, a student might not be experiencing problems at aU, but is looking for some additional feedback be fore making the final revision on a paper.

UB budget to meet only current obligations Wagner tells Faculty Senate UB may not finalize spending plan until October I By MARA McGINNIS REPORTER Reporter Anistant Editor Theiloporh!rls1.....,... a>rnr1UIItypublished by the Ollie• d News SeMces In the DM!Ion ol Uolv<isityS<Mces,StllellniYerslty ol New Yort It ........

Wagner said he has received no word on how SUNY will manage the lack of a state allocation to cover base costs of inflation, replacement of one-time 1998-99 revenues, funding for additional enrollment and sponsored-program activities. aU of which adds up to a gap of some S28 million systemwide. If SUNY does not find a way to cover these base costs and the defi cit is distributed among the campuses, UB will suffer a loss of ap· proximately $3 million, according to an earlier report by Provost David Triggle to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee.

The new grading policy, whi ch has been pu blished in the mos t rece nt undergradu ate ca talogue, allo ws students to repeat co urses in whi ch they receive a grade of C plu s o r lo wer.

Although the policy is in place, it cannot be prop e rl y impl emented since C IT has limited resources to d o the programm ing that would allow for replacem ent grades to be calculated in stu<;!.ents' grade-point averages. Greiner said he antic ip a tes a permanent solution will be in place by the end of Spring 2000 and to ld sen a t o rs th a t he has passed the issu e on to Se nio r Vice President Robert Wagner.

Jack Meacham, professor of psyc ho logy, told Greiner that th e numb e r o f grad e replaceme nt s "cannot poss ibl y happen by hand n in his department. Senators also raised co ncerns that if grade changes are not acco unted fo r in student records, it could pre vent students from being accepted into their prospective departments.

Probably the most famous example of such an interaction and the one th at sparked much of the current interest in RNA was the discovery around 1990 that two RNA-protein interactions are involved in regulating the HIV virus that ca uses edge. Determined using X-ray crystallography at high -resolution by a team of scientists from UB and the Uni versity of York. it is thefirstll-sub- un it protein bou nd AIDS. "The protein we study has no re- lation to HlV," explained GoUnick, "but at the funda mental level, if IJ'~~~~~~~~ to RNA that has ever been determined. It is one of only a few protein- RNA complexes that have been characterized and one of barely a handful of those that involve messenger RNA lmRNA ). "There are very few known and elucidated examples of complexes between protein and mRNA and very, very few that have been characterized to this level of detail," said Paul Gollnick, UB associate professor of biological sciences and senior author on the paper. Gollnick co ndu cted t he wo rk with co-a uthors Alfred Antsoo and Guy Dodson while on sabbatical at the University of York.. While the lion's share of genetic research jo the past 20 years has focused on interactions between pro- we can' understand how thi s one works, it may have some relation to the genetic processes by which other proteins bind to RNA." He explained that in terms of regulating the flow of genetic information from RNA to protein, bind ing mRNA is crucial. "So if you want to regulate expression of a particular gene in a protein RNA interaction, you wou1d want to do it at the mRNA level," he said. The protein involved is TRAP (Tryptophan RNA-bindingAttenuator Protein). which is found in a family of bacteria called Bacilli. The mechanism by which TRAP functions is calJed anen uation and several eukaryotic genes (genes fo und in multiceiJular o rganisms like humans ), including several cancer genes, appear to be regulated br a similar mechanism. " By understanding the simpler TRAP system in bacteria, we are beginning to develop a model for un derstanding more complex systems in some of the eukaryotic genes regulated by attenuation ," said Gollnick. In Bacillus subtilis, TRAP regu lates the expression of genes that en- code enzymes for the synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan , which is essential for protein -building in humans and also is related to circa- dian rhythms. GoUnick explained that these bac· teria only will make enzymes to synthesize tryptophan as necessary; if TRAP senses that there is eno ugh in the cell, it automatically turns off gene expression for these enzymes. "The virtu aUy unique feat ure of TRAP is that it only binds RNA when it has firm bound tryptophan," said GoUnick. TRAP also has II identical subunits, a completely uniqu e strudure for a protein, which has scientists in Gollnick's Jab at UB working to solve th e mystery. "Most proteins have one or two," said Gollnick. .. Even four is odd and there are very few with eight. \<\'h}' did this thing evolve to have II~ .. Another puzzling feature pbout the TRAP-mRNA complex is the lack of a folded structure in the RNA. •·The RNA to which TRAP binds is entirelr single-stranded," said Gollnick_ "There is only one other similar example of this known to date."

No 4 Repariea _____________ Tbe~•JI Lake LaSalle student housing comes at an environmental price De¥ Editor: Given the overwhelming student interest in the new Hadley Road apartments, it seems dear that students want apartment-style living on campus. Ground has now been broken for the next phase of student apa rtments at Lake LaSalle. The motive for these co nstru cti on projects appears to be a sinceu desire by UB officials to meet student needs. But this new student housing is coming at a price, not just in dollars. Consider the following: If you ask students and their parentswhat they like about the appear- ance of a campus, they wiU not say "w. liked that campus becaUS< it had so many new apartment buildings ... But they will tell you they love campuses that look like campuses beca use th ey are wooded, park -like and embrace natural beauty. The location chosen for the Lake LaSalle apartments is (or at least was) arguably the most beautiful natural spot on the North Campus. The loss of this place is tragi c (some would say) ugly. The campus desperately needs to be beautified and natu.ra.Liud. What students and their parents now experience is a giant cement and brick spine sur· rounded by parking lots. The new flower beds arc a step in the right direction, but the campus' stark im· age will not change for the better by surrounding the spine and its park ing lots with apanment complexes and their parking lots. The l..ake l..aSalle site might have been spared had UB decision-mak· ers paid attention to the VB 2025 campus land-use plan that was developed by the university's EnvironmentaiTaskForce (ETF)in 1995and accepted by the UB administration in 1996. Tht> decision -makers also neglected to consult with the ETF, an organization the administration has put ..on hold" si nce Jan. I by refusing to appoint new leadership. The campus does not belong to a few select campus deci - \l-~t'~,~Ol'llgllt.., and has af- sio n -makers (no m atter how smart or well intentioned }. The campus is public land and, as such. it belongs to all of us. including th e general publi c. ·rnus. campus landmatter ho attractively de sig ned ~and nicely landscaped, the new apa rtments will not recreate this natural place or add beauty or serenity to the campus equal to what is now lost forever. use deci sion -making be open. Minimally, shouldn't there have been hearings and consensus-building before embarking on an aggressive, campus- development plan that may t"ventu ally resuh in as many as five student housing developments? It is ironic, a.s one co lleagu e Unfortunately, UB pointed out to me, that rt.--sidents North Campus is of Ea st Aurora ( or any stark , sterile and ··~II:~Jil~'-- community in New York ) have more opportunity for demo cratic participation in decision s about whether a new Wal -Man 1s built in their town than members of the US commu nity have in campus land -use decisions. State law requires an environ mental impact statement ( EIS ) when projects will have a substan tial impact on the environment. The clearing of land for the Lake l..aSalle apartments dearly had that kind of impact. Was an EJS done? If so, how did it add ress the loss of this natu ral area? If an EIS was not done, what was the rationale for not doing it ? Was there a legal requirement ? An EIS. incidentally, would have required public participation. I work with many people who are involved with these housing projects and have even been invited to make suggestions about building design . These are fine people, conscientious. well -intended, all trying to do the best for the university and its stu dent "customers." But I think something is amiss. This fast -track crash process is producing casualties, and ~electing the Lake LaSalle sit e was J big mistake. Earlier this summer. when I saw what was done by the earthmoving machines.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The crew--a constant variable-then sailed to Denmark, Poland, Estonia and Finland. George, who also heads the Center for Thermo/Fluids Engineering, says he's wanted to sail since he was a child. The summer before he came to UB, 25 years ago, he got his chance. The opportunity came while jog· ging in Boston aloog the Cl>arles River. "I titerallyran into (a sign fur) communityboating."he says.

H~lfi!l beoome a full professor in the Spring 2000 semester. Delany is one of very few AfricanAmerican writers to work in a popular genre like sciena fiction and he has transformed the field. His brilliant, lively, exotic, complex tales of intergalactic strife and spa<:< intrigue are ridUy informed by his fascination with language systems, boundaries between reality and art, alienation, myth and the processes by which myths are made and communicated. His first book, "The Jewels of Aptor," was published in 1962 when Delany was 20 years old. Within a One of the m•ny virtues of using BI SON <http: / /ubllb. buffalo.edu/llbrartes>, the ..cyberbranch" of the .UB Univers it y S few years, he eme rged as the wurukrkjnd of the genre, joining the ranks of Ursula K.

Douglas Barbour, writing in Scr· etrce Fiction Writers, describes the author's early novels as ..colorful, exciting, entenaining and intdl«· fually provocative to a degree not usually found in the genre." Delany has since published 18 additional works of fiction, three memoirs-including .. Bread and Wme" -and seven books of Literary and cultural criticism.

Critic Sand.ra Y. Govan of the University of North Carolina refers to Delany's fascination with the ability of sciene< fiction to excite "great mysterious shapos of mind lit by black and unholy mythic resonances whik extolling the seemingly limitless potential of technological achievements." Delany says that for him,language is "an intriguing and infinitely malleable tooHhe matrix of verbal and non-verbal communication. It idcntifies or negates the self, is selfreflective; shapos perceptions."

Here. he began to tangle with the social and mythological implications of the language and dialect that characterized those worlds.

He recently pub· lished two additional critically applauded novels: "The Einstein In tersection" and "S tars in M y Pocket Like Grains of Sand." Delany is also a wonderful mem oi rist, SdtKh.ner says. and the crit· ics agree wholeheartedly. His non · fiction writing has appeared in many journals. magazines and an - thologies, as well as in the books "Times Square Red, Times Square Blue: An Inquiry into Certain Modes of Urban Sociallty,""Motion of Light and Water: Sex and Science Fiction in the East Village" and other works.

" Because he was nev.r formally educated in academic terms, Delany's inteUect doesn't run in tracks. This sui,ts our department marvdously.

Delany was raised in Harlem of middle-class parents and was tht nephew of the famous Delany sisters. authors of the best -selling memoir "Having Our Say: Tht Delany Sisten' First 100 Years." He attended the Dalton School, a private academy on Park Avenue where,astheonlydowntownstudmt in attendance, Delany says he sensed on to City University of New York. "Motion of Light in Water," about theearly years ofhis 19-year marriage to Marilyn Hacker, now a major American poet, is what Schechner ca1.ls, "a marvelous. marvelous piece of writing--a great piece.

"Because of the nature of his writ - ing, he is uniquely qualified to be on the faculty of the Poetics Program," Schcchner says. " He also has na t iona l visibility, is a dedicated teacher and his roots here go back to 1975 when Leslie Fiedler(emeri- tus SUNY Distinguished Professor and Samuel Clemens Professor of English) brought him here as a vis· iting Butler professor. I remember that he made quite an impression on me at the time. "Since then, Chip Delany has pre· sen ted readings forourWednesclays at 4 PLUS literary series," he adds.

Competitive site includes a virtual version of the only map ever crea1ed that defines and identifies each of Buffalo's 30 distinct neighborhoods. .. I've always been interested in neighborhoods. It is almost like a hobby ... every time I would move to a new city, I would continually walk around and observe," explains Woodson. Before settling in Buffalo, the Colorado-born Woodson lived in the French Quarter of New Orleans, as well as in Seattle, Kansas City, Los Angeles and Newark, N.J. .. Of all the cities I have lived in, I think New Orleans is the most fascinating because it is so different from other American cities," he reveals. "But my true love is Paris." However, Wood so n admits to having a &scination with Bufi3Jo. One thing he says intrnsts him is trying 10 figur< out why "residents are always defending Buffalo." He belie= the Buffalo Neighbor· hoods Map 10 be the lim of its kind, since he has nev<r seen or heard of a city map' that indicates neighborhoodboundanes,probablybecause they oft<n are so loosely defined. He currently is working on the first neighborhood<rnap ofManhattan, which he hopes will be added to the SEL Web site by january 2000. "Some people see them (neigh· borhoods) as a problem and a sourceofracismandconBict.lnever approach it that way," explains Woodson. "I look for the positive qualities of each neighborhood" The Buf&lo Neighborhoods Map Websiteconlainsadigital-imagemap of the city that clearly designates the boundaries of each neighborhood.

He wanted to find out why and when an an:a that had been Italian-American at one time had become an Hispanic neighborhood Woodson reveals that he is espe· cially inlerested in the Italian-American culture, although he is of Span· ish descent "In New York Gty and Buffalo, ..JHtlian-Americans live in very concise neighborhoods.

Coincidentally, he lives' in an Italian neighborhood in North Bufi3Jo. "Geographer.; also = fascinated with names," says Woodson, who was surprised to leain that BUffalo's Kaisertown is a Polish neighborhood. "I wanted to find our why it was called Kaisertown, so I asked an elderly woman in the area, who lold me that the whole area used to be Ger· man farms. After checking old maps, I saw that the street names had been changed from German names." When defining and identifying neighborhoods. Woodson says it is imp<lrtanHo be awar< of what ge· · ographers reftr to as "good markers." He adds thai churches, city parks, names on stores, can, pon:hes and street names all tell something important about an area. The Buffalo Neighborhoods Web site is a "work-in-progress," according to Woodson. He continues to walk around the city, talking to residents and capturing photos for the site that he feels best illustrate the distinct identity of .each neighborhood.

Truesdale says making co1urses available to these stwknts early in their college career will help them to decide if teaching is for them. • New in-service education programs for teachers from Western New York school districts to keep them abreast of new research. technologies and methodoli>Sies in education and hdp them apply these to their suhject areas. • A pre-college teacher-educa• tion program is being developed for primary and secondary schools. Its goal is to build skills from an early age that can be transferred to other fidds, but will stimulate interest in the possibility of teaching as a profession. This kind of early career education is strongly endorsed by researchers in the fidd of vocational and career education. • Assistance to those who want to enter teaching from other profes- sions to hdp them assess the best ways to use talents and skills from previous careers to inform their teaching interests and abilities and hdp attract more potential teachers from outside the profession who will bring new and varied perspectives and skills to the classroom. "We hav. quite a range of careerchangers this year, perhaps reflecting increased enrollment,• Gates says. "They include lawyen.joumalists, health· care professionals, homemaken, marketing eucutives and even a prominent television personality;" • Reorganization of the institute's clinical faculty to extend its membership to additional school districts. The clinical faculty is a group of working teachers involved in the redesign of iflstitute's general methods class, one of its most important cour>es. The group also informs GSE of critical issues in schools, makes recommendations regarding oourse content and pre· pares cooperating teachers to over- see the Work of student teachers. • A new field-apcrience coordi. nator will orga.niu required student-teaching experiences and coordinate the admissions process. • A n<wpo~cy board will set institute goals and the procedures for achieving them. It wiU consist of Gates; Suz.annc Miller, associate dean for teacher education; the school's three department chairs. and one at-large member. • A new advisory board will offer input to the po~cy board and provide the institute with broadly based leadership and direction, and hdp ensure that it is in touch with the needs of its various stlkehold· ers. Tbe board will include members from the GSE. the larger UB community and various school districts and oommunities throughout Western New York. • Accreditation from the National Council ofAccreditation for Teacher Education (NCATE) will be pursued. The institute already is accredited by New York State. ~·~--------------- Clearcuttlng trees on the edge of Lake LaSalle was "a big mistake" Dear Editor. What does UB have against trees?

She has designated that the scholarship be awarded to African -American students from Western New York. "Young people are the future." she added,"and I want to feel that I am doing something for students who are preparing themselves to meet the challenges of the 21st century by developing marketable skills that will enable them to be competitive in the global market."

He recently was named interim chair of the Environmental Task Force. I began my service at UB in june of 1975 at age 25. I was hired as a cleaner at nights-my shift started at II :J()....;md I reported to O'Brian Hall, which was the only academic building open on the NQrth Cam· pus. At the same time, I was pursuing an electrical technology degree, which ultimately helped me to be promoted to the Electric Shop. I spent a number of yean in the trades a.s a journey-level person and then moved to various levels of supervision- Eiect{ic Shop supuvision, senior trade supervision and so on. While at the senior level, I started thinking about where I wanted to be long-term. I'd always loved UB, so I knew that I wanted to be here, I just didn't have the credentials to go as far as 1wanted. I resumed my education and obtained a bachelor of sc ience degree. Si nce then , I' ve served in a number of senior facili · ties positions, then as the director of facilities. When Ron Naylor left. I was asked to takr this position in the interim. But I didn't make myself a candidate for the permanent posi· tion during the first search. How· ever, over time. I changed my mind. This was largely due to two factors. Thr people in facilities were very supportive and it was dear that many people wanted me to be suc· cessful. Additionally. during the course of the 1990s, facilities has gone through so me very sizable budget reduction.r-about $7.5 mil· )jon over the past nine years. In most areas, we're doing better than ever as far as work-order timeliness and customer satisfaction. There have been some areas where wt'~ had a diminished lc..:l of service, but by and large, our customers art very satisfied. I think that speaks very well of th< character of th< p«>pl< in th< organization. I got to the point wh<r< I thought, how could I not want this position? I did a rev=al and mad< mysdf a candidate for the associate vice president's job after being in the position in the interim for about a year. Wh•t speclflc units do you o-7 University Facilities is comprised of a number of departments. These include all the trade areas-these are p«>ple who repair the building systems-as wdl as utility crews, custodial, grounds, central stores, facilities planning and design, de· sign and construction, fl~t main· tenance, warehousing, stockroom and occupational and environmen · tal safety services. We're an organi· zation of about 460 people. Your pl•nnlng •nd de:slgn unit h•s been blusy l•tely. We've had a tremendous workload over the past couple of years, mainly due to the demands of UB's capital program needs. The student· housing projects, in particular, are very demanding of staff resources. The student-housing projects are emanating out of Dennis Black's office in Student Affairs. We look at Student Affairs as our customer. Additionally, UB's five-year capital plan, which holds considerable promise for the university, requires much staff time and energy. What Is the noost challenging part of~· Job7 Making the system we work in work. The bureaucratic restraints, guidelines and policies of New York State are very encumbering. The most rew•nllng7 The p«>ple I work with, both in facilities and in the university as a whole. Dealing with Dennis ~!lack and his staff on the student housing has been an outstanding~ ­ rience .

Reporter Editor HE Law School this faU will offer a post-professional master of laws ( LL.M .) program in criminal Jaw, the only program of its kind in the natio n. The program , which has enrolled eight students from the U.S. and ab road for its initial semester, wi11 combine practical, hands-on courses with a variety of other offerings that will allow students to devote themselves to the in-depth study of a wide range of topics in American, comparative and international criminal law. Designed for students with a law degree (J.D.) or the equivalent, the program is administered by th e Buffalo Criminal Law Center, one of the nation's premier research institutes in criminal law. The cen · ter is headed by Markus Dubber, professor of Jaw. "The master of laws program prov ides American and foreign law graduates with a unique opportunit y to develop and stiengthen their expertise in criminaJ law,.. said R. Nils Olsen, Jr., dean of the Law School. .. It further energizes an area of excd- T lence in the US Law School cur.riculum."

"That couldbeoccurringasweU ,ofcoune. but based on 100.000 years of geologica1 evidence, we just seem to be go ing through a warm phase of our clim atology. " Drought occurs 1n almost every n.-g.ion on earth on a somewhat regu lar basis," Ebert poinl5 out .

Then its time is up and the dryness abates. Drought doesn't last forever. " Rain comes and after a few years, it stabilizes the water table depleted bythedrought.

"So every dramatic weather condition seems worse than it aau aJJy is.

"We've had a spate of unusually hot weather that has built up slowly over the last f~ years and this year lasted longer than normal," ~rt admits. " But ifs not a Ouke. h 's not unique.

Since you did not join UB with thoughts of grieving (let alone, perish the thought, of striking), but rather in the bdief that the university is a team where all work in unison for a common purpose, there is a strong philosophicaJ bias to just pay your fee and let it be.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Greiner signed the declaration at the urging of numerous campus constituencies, including the Faculty Senate, Professional Staff Senate, Student Association and the Environmental Task Force. The declaration wu drafted in 1990 by the Association of Um versity Leaders for a Sustainable Future, a g·roup of universit y presidents who were concerned that. as leaders of institutions of higher education, th ey should be taking a leadership role on o ne of the most critical issues facing the planet at the end of the 20th century. Signatories agree to take actions designed to address .. the un precedented scale and sp«d of environmental pollution and degradation, and the depletion of natural resources." Among them are establishing programs to produce ex~rtise in environmental management, sustainable economic d~elopm ent, populations and related fields; establishing institutional ecological potici~ and practices of resource conservation, recycling. waste reduction and other environmentally sound operations, and working with community and nongovernmental organizations to assist in finding solutions to environmental problems. joseph A. Gardella, professor of chemistry and chair of the Environmental 'rask Force, noted that UB already is recognized as a leader, both nationally and internationally, in environmentall y sound and suslainable policy, practice, curricuJum and research. ..It makes sense that we should nol only sign on to these principles, but lead this group in the forefront of educational and re- search in\titutional thought," he said Claude Welch, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the De· partment of Political Science and a member of the Environmental Task Force who brought th< issue to the Faculty Senal<, called Greiner's signing of the declaration ..an appropriate action, given the strong suppon given to the declaration by major university constituencies."

Designs by 1999 architecture grads dazzle Buffalo city officials By MAliA~ News S<Mces Editorial A>sistant 1999graduatesof ool of Architectu~ and Plann ing are . ·ng heads in Buffalo City HaH with eir resQurceful building designs d progressive plans to create a n district in an underutilized area o uth Buffalo. Srott Adams, joshua Alter and CoUeen Ryan have hired as design consultants by the City of Buffalo Divisiori of Planning to pursue ideas that eventuaUy could tum a former industrial area adja· cent to the Cobblestone District and the Old First Ward into a distri ct they call the " Industrial Green." Their proposals also involve designs for buildin&" that may themselves serve as exhibits for the 2001 Pan-American Exposition. The plans and designs were de· veloped as part of an experimental architecture course taught by G. Srott Danford, associate professor of architecture. The course requires students to apply studio architec· ture work to a real-world project. "We chose this area of the city beca use it is underutilized and has great potential with respect to land for development and opportunities to build and reuse existing struc· tures," explained Ryan. "We are hoping that the upcoming Pan-American Exposition will serve as a catal)'lit fo r innovative future development in this area."' The fOrmer students envision the lndustrialGreenasaoentralwot:kdistrict for environmentally minded groups and individuals. The district would promote and utilize "green" technologies. reneWable energies, rec• tarnation of brownfields, smart growth and rec.1ded materials. Adams explained that he and his coUeagues hope to change the per· ccption of the area as a solely industrial, commercial district by instiUing a sense of commllhity and family. The area would have histori· cal and cultural attractions-possibly a children's museum--and serve as a site for community events. T H the been "Ideally, we ~t to create an environmentaUy responsible district with an underlying artistic theme." Adams added. The plan is being sponsored by Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello; Joseph Ryan, commissioner of community development; Frank Manuele, directo r of planning; Council President James Pitts, and the Green Gold Corporation. ' Another major supporter of the plan is Joan Bozer, former Erie County legislator and current presi- "We are hoping that the upcoming Pan-Amerlcan bposltlon will serve .. a aou1yst for Innovative future development In thb area."

Thefonnerstudentsdesignedtwo buildin&" fol' the district--dubbed "Symbiosis" and "The Atrium"and have redesigned the existing Elk Terminal, fonnerly the Nickel Plate Railway Terminal. According to the plan, Symbiosis would serve to display renewable energies and house exhibits for the 2001 Pan-American Exposition. After the exposition, it would serve as the centerpiece for the proposed district. Located at the site defined by Perry, Srott, East Market and Chicagostreets,itwouldbelinkedphysicaUy to the existing Elk Terminal. The main feature of Symbiosis would be the "WaU of Knowledge," which designer.; Adams and Alter said would become an icon of Buffalo's past, present and futu re. This curved, concrete monument would divide the building's interior and be etched with an artistic in- terpret.ation of the city's past on one side. The other side of the wall would present a virtual image on polished concrete to reflect the building's exhibition space. The waU would be constructed from the recycled conaete silos of the Kmmore grain elevator.;, which are to be demolished this fall. The Elk Terminal would be trans· formed from a warehouse into a multi-use commercial site. Its major use would be as a business "incubator" for environmentally conscious businesses, aUowing them time and resources to establish themselves within the Industrial Green. The third building, The Atrium, wo uld be located on South Park Aven ue between Marvin and Chicago streets. During the exposition, the central atrium would exhibit such green technologies as photovoltaics, passive/solar paneling, recycled materials and gray water SJ"i· terns. Afterward, it would become a clearinghouse for environmental information, as weU as headquarters for profit-making and non-profit environmental organizations, ex+ plained CoUeen Ryan, who designed the structure. The design consultants, who also run their own innovative arch.itcctural-<lesign team caUed 1nsite, are working with the city to generate funding from private donor.;, foun dations and corporatio.ns to begin this major project, However, with limited government money avail able, financing the project remains their greatest chaUenge. "Right now, it all depends on some keyplaj<os." said Alttr. "We are hoping people will reali2r the importance and implications of revilalizing this area" In the meantime, to give their ideas some vistbility, efforts are under way to organize an international mural competition for a design to be painted on a vacant structure in the area. This building, which many con· sider an eyesore, wou.ld be transformed by an encompassing mural that would market the proposed Industrial Green district by incorporating ideas of progress, change, technology and the environment into the design. 1 Gift to endow fellowship for doctoral students in English 1 A ~ to the c..-_ of Arts and Sciences is providing a competiuve edge for the Departmmt of English in attracting top-notch doctoral stu· dents through increased fellowship money.

However, the mere presence of a fertile female in the nest next door can be enough to cause a male to stray, leaving his female mate un guarded, according to a paper scheduled for pubtication in the July issue of Auk. the journal of the American Orni th~logists' Union , authored by Helen C.

"When many females are building nests, the entire breeding grounds may be lik< a big 8ea marl«t, with many males ammising their wares through song and the females comparisonshopping," said Webster.

They found that a relatiYely high proportion-<Jbout 30 percmt-<>f the young !hey observed were fathered by a male who . was not their"social" father, that is, not the companion mate of the mother. Webster explained that when a nest of young was produced at the same time that nests were being produced on neighboring terri to· ries, the nest was likdy to· contain extra· pair young. O n the other hand , when a nest was produad in a territory wh~n others were not being produced in the area, the focal nest was unlikely to contain extra -pair young. The question the researchers now face is whether it is ma1~ male· guarding or female mate choice that is responsible for this panern. According to Webster, the male's evolutionary motive for the extra -pair mating can be ex - plained fairly simply. terms of Darwinian fitness, the number of descendant offspring is key." he said. The tridcier issue, be added, Is finding out whafs in all this for the female. "Females could be obtaining 'good genes' by mating with par· ticular extra-pair males--those that are particularly bealthy and havesenes malting them r<sistant to disease--<>r she oould be obtaining direct benefiu," be said. "For example. the extra-pair male may allow the femak to forage on his territory once she has copulated with him." Webster and his oo-author. belicYe that being guarded .. a<tuaJly cootlytothefmlalesinait pmoents her from mating with oth<r males. "Extra-pair copulationo and mate-guanling represent a con· flict of interests between the male and femak in an Olherwisecooperative pair." said Webster. The paper, "Extra-pair pater· nity and local synchrony in the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica cam!lascens)," was co-auth"ored by Richard T. Hoboes, professor of biological sciences at Dartmouth College.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The shutdown, the dates of which had not been scheduled as the 11£porter went to press. is nol related to the failure of the university's central email server in February that crippled email service at UB for nearly rwo weeks, officials stress. Although users will not have access to email during the shutdown, Web service will be available, and the ppp service on dial up will be available so that users off campus can dial into the UB computer to access the Internet. err Richard Lesniak, director of aca- demic services for Computing and Information Technology, said the email system is being taken down in order to inaeasc the capacity of the system and ..make sure we're prt"pared to handle the (email) load we have prediaed, through June 2000." 1n order to in=ase that Clj>!City.crr staff will be "twinning the Mailhub"tittrallysplitting thec:maal email S<TV<r. or"Mailhub"that handles email at UB. into"'<> servers, Lesniak said However, the procedure " is not as simple as adding one machine," he said, pointing out that the disk system that the central server now uses will have to be reconfigured so that two servers can share the system.

"While it has become common place to link together tens, or even a hundred or so PCs into a tightl y coupled cluster, this is the first time such an approach will be tied to high -end Sun workstations," said Russ Miller, CCR director and professor of computer science. At the core of the projed is a collection of 64 Sun Ultra 5 333Mhz workstations.

Dorm residents on both cam puses will dial five digits for in - terco m and intercampus calls to other dorm residents. The .. 9 .. access code for outside calls for dorm residents on both campuses will not change. The plan will yield approximately 2,000 new numbers for dorm residents and 1,600 numbers for admin· istrative use.

I!199/'lot :JJ.Io.34 Urban historian looks to future Michael Frisch sees opportunities in changes dep~ental By I'ATIIKIA DONOVAH News Sefvkes Editor INCE trail-blazing, urban historian Michael Frisch joined the UB faculty in 1969, he's operated at the vanguard of radical new directions in his field, which, in tum has .focused national attention on UB. Frisch was one of the first historians to be involved in the urban study of .. rust belt .. communities, industrial-heritage projects and oral-history methodology. As an adjuna professor and chair ofthe Department o(American Studies from 1984>91, he secured for that department the largest hUI)'Wlities grant in UB history, which established a Jl"'55igjous Rocl<efellerCenterforthe Humanities at the llllivmity. Frisch is a former edi tor of the national Oral History Association's }oumtll of Oral History and, at his urging, the group held its annual meeting in Buffalo last year. In the past I 0 years. he has written two highly r<garded scholarly books and was sdecu:d to he the first holder of the first chair in American studies inltaly,an ' intmentthattookhim S MkiYel Frisch holds an wtlfact from- ,._ AnMri<an bposltlon. and Education on Women and ~nder. Frisch is thoughtful and at times sanguineaboutthefutureof American studies at UB. He.is given to nei ther nostalgia nor obituaries, however, and says he hopes the change that will take place won't provoke too much .. prosthetic echo"-the urge to scratch a limb that 's gone. .. The decision to dismantle the department Ls and was administra· tive, and m ost of us lamented it . afraid that wh at we'd worked to "We need to look t o university and its ---ulstlng future, to new models rorrunwlity. Even with all o f these distinc tJons--and many more--under his .--Interests." belt, a high point in Frisch's career as his recent election as national president of the 5,000-member MICHAEl FRI!iCH Amencan Studies Association. which represents the interests of 261 university programs nationwide. His election, however, strikes a paradoxical note. By the time Frisch takes office in the year 2000, the UB Department of American Studies--the model for srores of American studies programs here and abroad--no longer will exist know it What will take its plaa, he hopes. willl'<l"""'"t a deep institutionali2ation of the "radical" 3J11'11<1a of the deportment and its furulty. Having returned to the Depart-' ment of History facul ty full time, Frisch observes, from a short dislance. the major changes taking place. " I know that many people lament new directions," Frisch says, "but the American-studies program we built as..., is no longer there. II hasn't been there for some ume.'' Larry C hi s h o lm , brought in from Yale to organize the program 30 yea rs ago and a major n atio n al figure in th e field fo r decades, died last yea r. Charles Haynie, an ad Junct facu lt y member, has been on medical leave a nd won 't return until th e fall . Elizabeth Kennedy, an award-winni ng anthropologist and o ne of the founders of 1he field of women's studies in the U.S .. left UB two years ago forthc Un iversity of Ari zo na.

The Women's Studies Program. once a part of American Studies, a l· ready is bperating under the ae · gis of the Insti tut e for Research build dunng ou r academiC hve:s here would be razed," Frisch sa1d. Now he thinks lamentation may be unnecessary... C hange can be painful and productive at the same time," he says. "and ifUB cares about its own future, it will not trash the American-studies department , as some feared. Wiping aU of that ou t would on ly hurt the universi ty's own stature and attractiveness at the very moment when th ~ are m ore important than ever. So I think UB, produ ci n g a new model , will 10 build on the respect and visibility of the department." Noting that program s like th e ''old" model of American st udies have changed the academy in many positive-.ways. Frisch thinks it is time. anyway. for American studi es to broaden itsstudcnt -fucultybaseand develop stronger connections to the university system itself. " Like it or not , what was th ere is no lo nger. We need to loo k to the fu ture, to new models tha t will serve existing needs and interests." The model that is heing pursued, one that was proposed by fom1er J'ro. vost Thomas Headrick in his aca demic-planning document, t5 the establishment of a center for the study of the Americas that would link related cuJturaJ-studies: programs under an interdisciplinary umbrella while keeping those programs anchored in departments. Such a renter, Frisch says. if it has its own culture. pon of entry and administrative funaion. would suppon an expanded role for interdis· ciplinary multicultural studi es of this hemisp here. "If well-planned," Frisch says, •the center :.ovill offer new and more s ubstantial opportunities to institutionalize: the very principles upon which the UB Department of American Studies is based. It so unds very, very exciting.''

Conducted by the Office of Career Planning and Placement. the st udy was the first in more than 25 years on the post -graduation activities of UB degree recipients. It surveyed 4,863 graduates from the Class of 1997 residing in the United States in the summer of 1998--one year after graduation. Of those su rveyed, 3,000 were bachelor's-degree recipients and 1.864 had received graduate and professional degrees. The response rate was 41 percent. The median starting salary for bachelor's-degrec recipients in the Class of 1997 was between $30,000 a nd $35,000, according to th e study, which also reported "no statistically sign ifica nt difference in I salary between genders." The median salary for graduate and professional-degree recipienu was in the $35,000-$40,000 range. .. For the first time in recent history, we have some hard data to bolster our anecdo t~l evidence that stu dents are successful in both their employment and pursuit of further education. This in formation will help our career counselors and academic advisors as they work with students who are uncertain about how different degrees can be pract ically applied," said Dan Ryan. director of career planning and placement. Approximately 96 pe rcent o f respondents were New York State residents, while 3.9 percent lived outside of New York, with the larges t number residing in North Carolina. New Jersey and Florida. The study also revealed that most graduates were working in a position related to their field of study at UB. Of the graduates with bachelor's degrees working full time, 53.4 percent considered thei r position closely related to their academic preparation, while 28.2 percenr ____ _ ....,..._ . .........,..._t_.,..._ IIII<USdulln- - at further eduadon." DAN RYAN considered it somewhat related and 18.4 percent considered their position unrelated to their academic preparation. "We also intend to usc the data to measure ou r effectiveness as an office, adding new programs where needed, and marketing our se rvi~ to students in those ma jors who have not fully utilized our services,.. added Ryan. UB resources were reported as the most useful to graduates in their job search, fo llowed by want -ads. networking with family and friends. employment agencies, direct mail to employers, professional associa tions and the lntemet. The study also found that one year after graduation, 96.8 percmt of un- dergraduate~ recipients wm: working full time or were enrolled in graduate or professional programs. with 68.3 percmt employa:l and 285 percmt going to school About 33 pcr=>t of working respondents found their jobs within one month of graduation, while about 60 percent found their position within three months, according to the study. About 26 per&nt relocated for their current position. The highest percentage of employed respondents-36.9 percent-reported working for com panies or institutions with more than 1,000 employees. Results from the study also found that abput half of working undergraduate-degree recipients believe that they likely would earn a n advanced degree at some point in the future. Ryan said the Office of Career Planning and Pla«!ment intends to survey a smaller sample of graduates in 2000 to establish trending data, and then the full populatio n of graduates again in 2001.

Considerable damage has been caused to lawns and otha areas by service vehicles, state vehicles and deli.,rytrucks.as well as by motorists with special permits who fail to use the parking spots provided for them, according to John Grela, di rector of public safety. Grela said be will notify department heads when vehicles continue to park ln unauthorized areas. Two types of tickets will be issued, depending on the severity of the offense-campus parking tickets at SIS or New York State s ummon~ for moving violations, for which the motorist can be as sessed up to $50. In a rece nt memo , Senior Vice President Robert J. Wagner nou~ cJ..that UB is taking steps to improve the appea r ance of grounds o n the South Cam pus as part of a growing need to focus on the recru itment and retention of students , faculty and staff. O ne of those steps will be to reduce th e ainount o f damag e ca used by veh icles being driven on sidewalks, Wagne r said. ln order to facilitate better access to buildings. a number of improvements have been made, including widening of sidewalks in a number of locations, adding more parking spaces adjacent to buildings and creating parking spaces reserved for UB service vehicles o nly.

Photo exhibit tells moving story of hospice By PAT111CJA DONOVAN New$ Services Editor ( ( M y generation or ~11!Ji!ll!iiMIJ!!IIIJfiJ!I ~ Americans never learned toropev<ry well with death..." So begins a catalog essay that accompanies the remarkable and moving aposition. "Hoopia:A Photographic Inquiry," 00 display through July 25 in the UB An Gallery in the Clnter for the Arts on the Norih Campus The exhibit, which features the work or such nationally regarded photographen as Nan Goldin and Sally Mann. originated at the Corcoran Gallery ofAn in Washing· ton, D.C., in 1992, and has toured the country for the past six yean. The show is free or charge and open to the public. Gallery hours are 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call the gallery at 645-6912. The National Hoopice Foundation conc:tived the project as a way to expand public understanding or the power and importana or hospice care. The insights shared byexlubitors, who include some of the country's most sensitive artists and writers, is born of their immersion into hospice and the people it ~dyingandtheirfiunilies. David Levy, president and direc· tor of the Corcoran, praises "'the gifted photographers who accepted this creative challenge to achi..., a level or communication and meaning that only an makes possible." Mann, Goldin, )an Goldberg, Jack Radcliffe and Kathy Varga.sthe major contributors to the eXhibit's visual aspect~t hundredsofhourswithdyingindividuals and their familid in order that they speak in their own voices or \heir'experiences on what Levy calls one oflife's"most difficult and emotionally treacherous journeys." ThOrpbotosarejoinod by essays by Marilyn Webb and noted photographicsddar )ane~inter­ vicws by Philip Broolanan and stilk from a film by $usan Froemke, Debonh Dicbonand.Ai>en Maysles. In their presentations. neither photographer~ nor writers put a gloss on the dying process. Although some images. Mann's in particular, are metaphoric-and no less powerful for that-most subjects are presented directly and con=tely. The sensitivity and tenderness or photographen, writen, caretal<en and patients in the &a or in=r1lble loss are oftm unexpected, astonishing and revealing. Audrey Hill, a 59year-old ""man, was dying or met!· static cervical cancer. Her son reponed at the time: "She's said that, except for the fact that she is dying. ---· this has been the most torrific time of her lik." One or her caretakers called Audrey's death •a birthing." The exhibit is sponsored in Bu1&lo by the UB An Gallery, the Marks Family Foundation and the Clntor fir Hoopicr and PalliatM Care. The exhibition hrochuno will be in En· glish-andSpanish-language-.ions and the show wiD beocxompanied by a number of educaticmalevents. �June Zl. 1999Nol30.No 34 A Chemlc•l fnglneertng Symposium In honor of Eli Ruck.t:mtem .

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Innovative phannacyprogram a hit with patients • A By ElUH COOLDBAUM N~ Servkes Editor n innovative program that operates commu nity pharmacies jointly through the UB School of Pharmacy and Tops Markets, Inc., has resulted in better care fo r patients and better use of pharmacists' skills. and also is responsible for significantly increasing business in the pharmacies-in on e case, more than doubling the number of prescriptions filled . The program was featured as a national model at a conference held in Chicago on "The Role of Shared Faculty and Co mmunit y Ph a rmacy" sponsored by the National Association of Chain Drug St ores and the University of Oklahoma. The US/Tops program was described Tuesday during a sessio n on " Pharmacy lnnovation and O ut - comes" by Linda Schultz Rc*berg, coordinator of clinical pharmacy programs for Tops, and Mel issa Metzger, Tops/ UB pharmacy cofaculty member.

Fifty of the women were nursing a firstborn, while th e remaining 48 had two or more children.

PATIIICJA DOHOVAH News s.Mcts Editor O NE aspect of the rich and complex his- tor y of human knowledg.,._iu re· cording, transmis- sion and preservation--has been altered irrevocably by the advan~ ­ ment of information tedlnology. New technologies have broadened vastly the spectrum of infor· mation resources that augment the book, and also have raised questions about whether, in librar- ies at least, elroronic communication actuaJiy can replace books within the foreseeable future. UB librarians say anything is possible, but the replacement of the librari es' millions of bound volumes by electronic versions is no more than a twinkle in the eye of someone who is not a librarian. "Information technology is being touted on campus and elsewhere as the drug that will cure everything. But nothing cures everything," says archivist Christopher Densmore. .. First, we learned that there are some things information technology can't cure. Next, we find out that it actually cures no thing," Densmore says . .. Then, we learn that IT does cure some things, but not the things it was expected to cu re, and can produ ce new and diffi cult problems of its own." Judith Adams· Volpe, director o f Lockwood Library, agrees that issues of technology acquisition an: dicey these days and predictio ns are difficult . "'We're involved not in an eitheror (paper vs. computer) situation," she says, .. but in a process of evaluation and judicial selection and ap· plication of technologies in a constantly changing library environ· menL Some applications will work better than others. Some decisions · will stand the test of time; othen will reflect our nearsightedness." On the pro-tech side, the librarians a pplaud how th is a m azing new science has facilitated access to, and use of, the nine UB libra ries.

Although the popularity of this methodology has yet to be dern · onstrated, it is expected to be part of the next big tecbnology drive. Digitizing the 18 million bound texts in the UB collections is quite another story, however. " It would be virtually impossible right Q!lw." says John Edens, director of tkbnical servi= for the UB Libraries ... The time re quired and cost systems and human resources .would be prohibitive, even if we thought it should be done, which we don't. "'Even all reference material isn't available electronically," Edens points oul •And it may never be. The production of electronic databases is commercially driven, so while the full texts of popular ref· erence materials are online, vast amounts of scholarly material are still available only in journals and bound volumes. It doesn't sell well because it has a small audience." Ellen Gibson, director of the Law Library, said that while the new technologies are very helpful, she also doubu that they ever will replace written texts. ul..ct's say we ran out of money in our budget one year and couldn't pay for th e online services of Westlaw, Nexus or Lexus. If we ,te of the hadn'l continued to r=ive full. text, paper editions ofthe law jour· na1s, we'd be out orluck," she says. Densmore notea that the archival problems related tosavingd<aronic doc::umentsis another consideration. "We lcnowtbat paper lasts at leastSOO yars under the right oonditions. We ha.e no idea bow long the informa· tion on a CD-ROM, a rornputerdisk or a bard drivowill be retrieYable, but we know it's only a mattt:roldecades, ifthaL" Edens also stresses that some documents are just more useful in bound form. " I used to tell my staff that soon UB wouldn' t need a paper telephone directory because we'd have it online,• he says. "'Well, I was wrong. The UB electronic directory is Car les.s useful to most of us than the bound paper volume." Barban Von Wahlde, associate vice president for University Libraries, says that 80 pe=nt of the libraries' acquisition budget is used to purchase hard-copy texts. But ooUections that are growing constantJy require space, she says. "Putting library materials online does save space, but it changes the physi· cal configuration of the ~brary in ways that may alarm traditionalists." Those changes are very visible at UB. They include the prolifer1ltion of ~brary "cybraries," the addition of oncr-forbiddeo ootr.e ban and refreslunent stands insid< the ~brary, the reduction of curds and putting more ol the oollection in storage. Whatever the changes they pro· voke, Margaret Wells, director of the Undergraduate Library, says the new "cybr'Uies.. are a godsend for most students. "They can find information fast," she says, "and they're more likely to extend their search beyond the Web site. They still have to read, understand and synthesize the material, of course. Our jqb is to make the information available to them." Gemma DeVmney, coordinator of Web development and servi= for the UB Ubraries, poinu to the enormous growth of BISON, once simpl y UB's electronic library ca talog, as an example of the changes that await us. " BISON is now the name of the overall UB LibrarieJ Web site <http://ultlllt.buffolo.edu/ll· ....,._>."DeVmneysays, "ltJam· plified function riJaUs it a true 'virtuallibrary'-from the oomfort of your offia, residence-hall room or home, you can perform many stan· dard library functions over BISON: do primary resean:b, ask refcren~ questions, make sugestions or use it as a gallOWay to vast numbers of other digitization projects, such as the Ubrary of Congress"American Memory Project.'" In the meantime, Wells says, "the Undergraduate Ubrary at UB is more central to student life than it has been in a long rime. Kids are online, sitting and reading. having coffee, working together in groups. gathering to talk or to help one another. An unexpected feeling of community bas evolved from the expanded availability of computer technology in the UGL this year." If the bookless library isn't just around the bend, neither is the paperless library or the paperless campus. Edens points out that students , once forced to take judicious notes from bound text.s. now regularly pull and print hundreds of linear feet of re:cords-90 or more pages at times-from hbrary computers. Libraries today. he says, actually generate much more paper than they did 20 years ago. Since victory never goes t·o the Luddites, we can expect the •=I· erating rate of change to produce an astonishing new chapter in the mingled histories ofbooks,librar· ies and technologies. "We're at the very beginning of an extraordinaril y exciting era• says DeVinney," and the changes already in place here serve as sign·. posts to a very different kind of li brary yet to evolve."

The medium-and high-fat diets, co mpo sed of appro.ximatel y 32 and 41 percent fat respectively, left the immune system intact and en hanced certain components, the findings showed. "The data suggest that higher-fat diets may lower the proinftammatory cytokines, free radicals and hormones, and may enhance the levels of anti-inflammatorycytokines," said Venkatraman, an associate professor of nutrition in the Department of Physi Therapy, Exercise and Nu tritio Sciences in the School o f Heal Related Profession>. lier studies published by a UB group headed by David t, professor of physiology and bioph ics, reported that com · petitive ru ners who increased the 1 proportion of fut in their diets im proved their endurance with no negative effect on weight, body composition, blood pressure, pulse rate or total cholesterol. However, since a high level of fat wa s thought to be immunosup pressive, the researchers sought to dotermine if increasing dietary fat would compromist various elementa of the immuoe system , while improving performance. "In gmeral. moderate levels of aercise are known to enltanao the im mune system." saidVenkatraman. "But hi8b-intensity exercise and eodwana am:ise produce excess lcvd.s of free radicals, which may plaa stress on the immune system. 1011 Since we have shown that ath· letes perform better on a high erfat diet thlln on a low-fat diet, it was important to determine if the higher-fat diet would further compromise the immune system," she said. "We found that it did not, but the very-low-fat diet did." The study involved six female and eight male competitive runners who trained at 40 miles a week and were part of a larger performance study. They spent a month on their normal diets, followed by a month each on dietS composed of approximately 17 percent, 32 percent and 41 percent fat.

There is a great need to enhance awareness for the way the world works. My goal is to make all of these students naturalists, regardless of which aspect of the environment they pursue." Geffner emphasizes how valuable field experience is to a student pursuing a career in the environmental field. He says he has received letters from former students now working in the field who are grateful for their experience and the opportunities made available to them in his courses. The cod'tses, which are dosW to non -majors, require students to k<ep detailed field journals in which they list and illustrate 100 of the plant and animal sightings observed during the field study. On a typical trip to the Everglades, Geffner says they ideotify some 240 plant and animal species. "When students complete this course, they often know the Everglades better than, the par~gen. In fact, the rangers often request to join us on our field excursions in order to en hance their &1 appreciation of the park."' r What makes these environments "unique" is h~ ru-y and politia have impacted upon the ecology of · these particular regions, explains Geffner. His approach is to expooe students to this ecology of the environment and teach them how that integrates with the history and political <ituation surrounding the area and its eco-systems. -=-or - "The uniqueness of the Ad irondac ks revolves around the fact that you Slinfonl~ _,....,ts ....... have the largest state park ..,..the_ the in the country-6 mil lion acres-and il is both .,.,.._to private and public lands, which makes for interest - ing dynamics." Geffner admits that part of his interest in studying the Adirondacks and the Everglades comes from a peroooal fascination with these areas. "The Everglades are sub-tropical, so it is completely a1ien to what we are familiar with. The systems are different. Life is different . It is a very different world and an exciting one at that." Geffner also notes that pan of the intrigue of the Everglades is that all of the eco-systems have been disrupted due to farming and urbanization, resulting in a con certed effort in the past 10 years to rebuild the area. .. St udents are awestruck and amazed," reveals Geffner... Everything is so new to them and it is quite intense, since they learn an incredible amount in a short week." Thi s past winter, for the first time since the course has been offered , Geffner and hi s studen ts were lucky enough to spot the ex tremely rare and secretive Ameri can crocodile, which Geffner has been seeking for the past six years.

On this weekend trip, students must use their a-... ativityand endurance to build a functionallodge and make their own meals using such foods as wild mushrooms, leeks and nuts that they collect. "The students soon learn that the more you know, the less you have to do to survive, and the more you can simply enjoy and learn," says Geffner. Geffner, who built his own logcabin residence in the Colden Hills, never strays far hom nature. In addition to his work at UB, Geffner and his business partner, Herb Burgasser, associate professo.r in UB's Educational Opportunity Center, run the non-profit organization Earth Spirit, Inc., which offers nature-education programs to schools, community groups and the public. According to Geffner, UB's Environmental Studies Program has grown dramatically as a result of shifting priorities in our society and heightened awareness among today's college studeots. In response to environmental crises, he adds, students have beoome increasingly concerned with preserving and appreciating the environment The instructor, whose focus in en- vironmental work evolved through a series of in~mships. says his experiences led him to the disoovery that he could make a living teaching in and about nature...

While walking across UB's Sou th Campus last week, Yende\1 , who now resides in Chaltanooga, Tenn., reflec ted on the path that his life h as taken- from his years at US, to hi s bnef stint in the Navy, to his career at Sylvama Electric in Buffalo and eve ntu a lly a t Knowlton Brothe rs 10 Tennessee, from which he would retire . "I feel very lucky to have had people all my life who have encou raged me to succeed," says Yendell. "Now I feel good that I can help orhers achieve their goals." Beginning in the fa ll semes t t~r of 2000. the Rohert and Nanc-r Yendell Scholarships will begm to be awarded to dt·servJng School of Management und ergradua te stud ents. according to Anderson. But it is a shift that still depends on convincing physicians, insurers and the public that the specialized training of pharmacists has real value in the health -ca re system. "It's a catch 22." says Anderson. "Pharmacists want to counsel patients and they have been trained to do it, but there still has to be some rttognition that counseling patients has real value in managing drug therapy and that that, in and of itself, should be paid for." Ultimately, the patient -outcome data gathered at clinical sites run by Tops and UBwill be used to convince third-party payers of that. "We want to see a change in how pharmacies are paid,.. explains Rothberg. "Like lawyers or accountants, we Should be paid for our cognitive abilities.

RINWeb site offers,information on Niagara Region m T HE Western New York Regional Information Network (RIN ),a 5,300page Web site offering access to a wealth of information about the eight~county Niagara Region , has been established at the Institute for Local Governa nce and Regional Growth at UB. The institute will showcase RIN <http:/ / rln .buff•lo.edu > this morning dur ing a presentation in the Buffalo Co nvention Ce nter. John B. Sheffer, II , institute di rector, calls the Web site ''a resource (or the region's ci tizens and lead ers. as well as a richly informative !l-ite for users ou tside the area, and an anchor -point for a broader ap proach to creating on line access to \\'estern New York. "A number of different groups wi th different approaches are working to enhance the Niagara Region's Web presence," Sheffer said. " We believe--and it's a belief that 's ce ntral to the wny the IU N works-that aU of us who are en gaged in these efforts can collaborate and network so that Web visi tors see a coherent, user-friendl y, sensible region, rather than a frac tured public face with several dozen unrelated access points." The RIN is, in part, an electronic directory of public services and municipal jurisdictions in th e eight -county N iagara Region, providing contact informati o n even for agencies and jurisdictions that are not yet on lin e.

A paper on the research authored by Deborah D.L. C hung. Niagara Mohawk Chair of Materials Research and professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, a nd Ze ng -Q iang Shi. a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, 1s published this month in U ment and Concrett Research . "A highway made with smart concrete would be able to tell where each vehicle was, and what its weight and sp<ed were," said Chung. "As a result , vehicles cou ld be weighed while traveling normally on the highway." Developed and patented by Chung. smart concret:e is concrete that has bee.n reinforced with short carbon fibers. She previously demonstrated that the electrical resistance of con· crete thai has been modified with a very small amount of fibers (betw""n 0.2 and 0.5 percent of volume ) changes in response to strain or stress. The ooncrete acts as a sensor because the carbon fibers are much more el«trically con· ductive than the concrete mix. "Concrete modified wit h carbon fibers turns Qut to be a very sensitive detector of strain ," sajd Chung... Strain, which relates to stress, is detected through measurement of the electrical res istance. As the concrete is deformed or stressed, the con· tact between the fiber and ce ment matrix is affected, thereby affecting the vol ume electrical resistivity of the concrete." By calibrating t.he smart concrete prior to the testing, the researchers were able to determine the relationship between resistance and weight. In their lab. the research ers duplicated the weight and motion of a truck trav· eling on a highway by rolal · ing a car tire between the cylindrical surfaces of two concrete rollers, one of which was made of smart co ncrete. The researchers were able to control the speed of rotation , as well as the load on the tire. Four electrical contacts at· tachrd to the smart -concrete roUer measured changes in electrical resistance of the concrete near its surface as the wheel roUed on il. According to Chung, the electrical resistance of sman concrete decreases revers·· ib ly wi th increasing stress up 10 I MPa (megaPascals, a unit of stress equaJ to 145 lb per square inch } and is independent of speed up to 55 miles per hour. Other applications for smanconcreteindudeusing it to sense real-time vibrations of bridges or other highway structures or buildings for use in dam~ning Vlbrations.orforearthquakemitigation. C hung said that the <Xtra cost of adding short carbon fibers to concrete would increase the materials cost of concrete by about 30 per· cent , s till significantly cheaper than anaching or embedding sensors into roads, a method already in use by some highway au thorities. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation and Sensor Plus, Inc. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The action was taken after somewh at contentious debate about the meaning of the proposal and its relationship to sexual harassment, and afte r the defeat of a motion to postpone a vote on the statement until the fall. It came more than two years after the is· s ue first was brought to the se nate's Executive Co mmittee. The statement, titled "Alert for Instructional Staff," was drafted by the senate's Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee. It states that " Members of the teach ing staff shouJd be aware that any romantic involvement with their students may lead to formal action against them if a complaint is reg istered by a student. "Even when both parties have consented to rhc developm ent of such a relat ionship, it is the m structor who, by virtue of power differential and special profes sio nal responsibility, may be held acco untable for unprofessional behavior. "Those who a re directly or in · directly affected by such a relation ship are invited to discuss their concerns with the Office of Equity. Diversity and Affirmative Action for profess ionally compe tent and confidential discussion of the1r complaint ." Discussion of the issue, as it ha... at past meetings of both the sen ate and the FSEC. again focused on the alert's purpose. John Boot, professor and cha 1r of the Department ol Manage · ment Science and Sys tem ... and chair of th e Academll.' f-rt·edom and Responsibility Commlttt.•e , told his colleagu e... that relatton · ships between facult)' members and their students that start out as consensual often result m recrimi nations. including complaints of sexual harass ment. The alert wa.'l designed to serve as a "warning" for mstructional staff that they are "playing with fire" if they engage m such relationships. Boot sajd Loyce Sl<wan, di=tor of the l )1fice of Equity, DIVersity and Affirmative Action, called the alert a "statemc::nt informing faculry that certam behavior may have an adverse effect." Stcwan added that sexual haras>ment, induding third-pany haras;ment, is one rypc of complaint that may arise from relationships bctwt.'Cn students and faculty. William Baumer, p rofessor ol ph il osophy. noted that th e state · ment was not adopted as a harass ment code. " It 's a warning; that 's all 11 1s mtended to be," Baumer sa1d, adding thai "it's badly needed." But Samuel Schack, professor o f mathematiCS, insisted the stall' mcnt is abou t sexual harassment. He pomted to what he call ed the 1mplied "subtext" underlring the d1sc..uss10n: "a kmd of moral valu · allon of such relationships , a no · 11011 that somehow these rela ti On ships are ipso facto wrong." Noting tha t .. many" of his UB co ll eagues met tht"ir spouses tn classes they taught. Schack !>3.\d: " I find 11 a little bit difficult for us t('l stand and piously claim that such relationships are ipso faao wrong .'' He added that the senate has not considered the coiJa teraJ effects of adoptmg such an alert.

Faculty senate contlnuod from poge 1 "massaging" an issue that resulted.. in "a very simple statement for a very serious issue. "It's just not a piece of law; it's ,just a simple alert." Malave said some of her colleagues are "naive" to assume that the issue of consensual relation ships and sexuaJ harassment is not a problem at UB. It was a problem when she was a student at UB 20 years ago, She said, and it remains a problem for her students today. William George, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, suggested that the senate postpone action on the alert to the. senate's first meeting of the fall semester. The senate is "not converging" on the issue, he said, noting that he also was not comfortable with the legal issues involved and would like to see the sexualharassment policy that is being drafted by a subcommittee of the President's Task Force on Women. Stewart noted earlier that UB does have a sexual-harassment policy; the subcommittee is drafting formal"procedures" to implement the policy.

Faculty members "carry around in our heads a value system (concerning academic integrity) that doesn't alway> get transmitted to students," she said. It is critical, she streSsed, .. to make: dear to our students what tbat means. it's an obligation that we have because it 's the rules we work under." Ludwig also said that many cases of cheating are handled with the students receiving failing grades, and are not reflected on a student's .. permanent record." The subcommittee discussed the possibility of strengthening procedures to establish some kind of" repository" that would collect data on persistent cheaters. she added. Melvyn Churchill, professor of chemistry, told his colleagues that while a faculty member can take action against a student suspected of cheating, the student also can take action against the faculty member via a grievance procedure. If a student accused of any kind of academic dishonesty grieves the action of the faculty member, "the chance of his not winning is approximately zero," Churchill said, calling the procedure ..an absolute nightmare" for the faculty member. ..The grievance process has got to be dealt with at some stage so that it becomes something other than a legal 'footsy;' it is, at the current moment, ludicrous ... Churchill applauded the idea of establishing a repository of information on chea~ but noted that if it .;'nty contained informatino on those students against whom formalactinn had been taken, "it will be the world's smallest repository of information." In another discussion at the FSEC meeting, the chair of the senate's Tenure and Privileges Committee reported on the role interdisciplinary centers and institutes should play in the promotion proCess. Margaret Acara, committee chair and professor of pharmaC<)Ingy and toxicology. told senators that interdisciplinary centers and institutes are "important in the scholarly ~fc of the university community.n fostering interaction among diverse areas of the universi ty. However, these units are not intended to ~­ place the departments, she said, noting that departments should con· rinuc to be the sole venue for fac- ACULTY members need to be more proactive in F communicating to stu- dents what constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty, the chair of the Faculty Senate Student.UfeCommittee told memb<:rs of e senate's E=uti"" Commit! at the body's meeting May 4. This"proactivity" should include e inst:rtion of a statement in each syllabus spelling out exam decO m and behavior, defining plag· m and outlining the conof academic misconduct, Jeann Ludwig, committee chair and associate professor of modem languages and literatures, suggested to her colleagues. Faculty members who have inserted such a statement on their syllabi have reported that it"saves them unending grief" when cases or suspicions of cheating arise, Ludwig said. She pointed out that some institutions-most notably Thfts Uni versity-have Web sites that are readily available to students that specifically outline what constitutes plagiarism and academic integrity. At UB, the rules and regulatinns for student conduct-including those applying to academic integrily--<lr< published by the Division of Student AffiUrs each yeat in the &port6,she said, wging senators to study the disciplinary procedures outlined in those rules and seriously consider including them in their syllabiaswdl. Ludwig reminded faculty members that they have the authority to impose numerous sanctions when a determination of impropriety has been made, including admonition , warning, revision of work. reduction in grade, mandatory resignation from the course or failure for reasons of academic dishonesty. ..Some students are not aware that those are all legitimate and usable resources at the faculty's disposal ," she said. She also noted that some faculty members feel that the burden of proving cases of academic dishonesty falls to them, rather than to the students. It is important to provide institutional oypport~n moral support-for those instructors who have witnessed cheating or suspect plagiarism on the part of students and who decide to pursue cases co ulty hiring and promotion. But in order to promote the growth of interdisciplinary units and encourage faculty participation in these units. .. it is essential that such participation be fairly considered and evaluated in promotion decisions,.. she said. Among the rules the Tenure and Privileges Committee has recom mendedare: • A faculty m~mber's participation in an interdisciplinary unit should be discussed with and agreed upon by the department chair and the head of the interdisciplinary unit. • Credit for teaching and research associated with units other than the faculty member 's department should be considered in the promotion process. The head of the interdisciplinary unit should be consulted by the chair in the preparation of the dossier, including providing a letter, providing appropriate names for the solicitation of reference letters and participating in all discussions of the promotion by the department's voting body of record and during other discussions of the candidate's case by the department The FSEC voted to transmit the committee's report to the full senate. Senators also heard a plea from a representative of the English Graduate Student Association for their support in opposing a pro · posed increase in the student Comprehensive Fee. laurie Ousley told senators that graduate students cannot afford an in~ in the Comprehensive Fee. which, she said, constitutes 10 per· cent of teaching/gradual< assistants' salaries, after taxes. The Comprehensive Fee, which includes the SUNY Co llege Fee and support for technology. st udent health. transportation. campus life and intercoUegiate athlet· ics (undergraduates only), wouJd increase by $75 per year, to $860 annually. for graduate and professio nal students. and $1 SS per year. to $1.140 annually. for unde rgraduates under a university bud get plan being considered.

Sachs noted, "With highperformance computers, we will be able to solve the properties of single molecules more than 100 times faster than we now can and to a resolution that has not even been possible before." The result will be a far greater wxlmtanding of ion · channels, many of which are implicated in diseases. " If we c.an understand these molecules and how the y change shape over lime, we can understand how they functio n," said Sachs. "When a protein's motions are abnormal, they can cause disease. The pro ~ teins we study are used to send signals throughout the body and when they mal - function, they can cause any number of serious clinical symptoms, such as weakness, paralysis, spastic be ~ havior or cardiac arrest."' The UB reseaJ"chers are the developers of software programs that are revolu tionizing the way that scientists interpret ion-channel activity, which is so complex and time-consuming that, until recently, many re searchers simply gave up on it. With their "QUB" software, res earche.rs around the world are abl e to d iscover in minutes how long it takes for an ion channcl to change shape.

We are confident that whatever your specialty, whatever your careor interest. a vast array of possibilities await you as you movt forward to the next stage of your life. For the past <ight yoars.l haY< rdished this transitional mom<nt with thoUJands of UB graduates, imagining. tog<tber with them, th• excit ing futures that they will creal< for thomsdvos. This month, I look forward both to th• successes of individual mombers of tho Class of 1999 and to th• stan of a new period in the world's coUoctive history. As th<last class to gradual< in the 1900s, yours is th• class that, figu ratively and symbolically, g<ts to reset the clock back to uro-zcro, conduding an ora of both great triumphs and great despair. Think of the incredibl< discov<ries that hav• been mad< during th• 20'" century, such as advances in medicine-the discovery of antibiotics, the structure of DNA, extraordinary biomaterials and major improvernonts in dinical health care and epidomiology. Yet w< cannot be too complaant Mother Natur< reminds us that wo still n<ed to achieve breakthroughs to cur< AIDS. cancer, oven th• common cold. P<rhaps whm you reset the dock. those will be among your generation's achievements. On another front, we have witnessed scientific discoveries that afford us penultimate insights into the nature of maner, time, spa~ and the lllliven<. On th< down side, during th< 1900s, wo opened'up the doomsday macbin<-th• atomic boml>-caUJing untold mis<ry and coUoclive aruti<ty. This e<ntury has been host to great horoes and villains. My own favorit< h<roes. whom you may know only from history books. indude Harry S. Truman, Desmond Tutu, Martin Luther King.)r., Mahatma Gandhi and Grorgo C. Marshall Each had human imperfections, but each took great steps to bettor humankind They W<r< models for the world to see. Truman and King. among oth<r groat leaden. set out to obliterate the last vestige of chattel slavery-Truman by paving the way for th< int<gration of our armed forces in 1948 and King by leading the civil-rights movem<nt of the '60s. G<orge C Marshall, our chief military leador in World War II . ~~ his sword into a plowshare. conc<iving the Marshall Plan, which r<lieved the suffering of millions of victims of that dovastating war and rebuilt Europe. Gandhi and Tutu established the use of nonviolont forms of protest to end oppression. These were heroes on a grand scale; but in everyday life. w. seo groat individualactsof horoism. lt was Rosa Parks. who refused to move to the back of the bus in Birmingham, Ala, who paved tho way for the civilrights movemenL Think back just a few woeks ago to !he startling fuotago of a crane operator, trapped above a burning building in Atlanta, who was rescued by a couragrous fu<:man. Still. anothor rocent example. perhaps too painful to recall, is the heroism displayed by ,;ctims and survivors of th• Columbin• High School massacr< in Littl<ton, Colo. Such acts of co~• roveal tho goodnoss inhorent in humanity. Unfonunatdy. lh< 1900s also rovealed the groat villainy of AdolfHidor, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot and, more rocontly, the <tbnic deansingatrocitios in Rwanda, Croatia. Bosnia and Kosovo. Our capacity for inhumanity is also groat and <nduring. Whm your generation res<ts the dock, vow to do bettor. As studonts hero at UB, you already have been asked to learn new t<chnologios and to apply cutting-edge r=arch; your professional lives certainly will call on you to do more or th• sam<. Th<l<adors or the now millenni= will be thoso who can both adapt to the t<chnological contexts in which wo live and j'>articipate with other human beings in shaping th~ contats: M you graduate from UB and enter an economy more prosporous than any in the world, you are positioned to frame the debates, define the probloms and local< th• solutions of th• future. Your lives will, no doubt. also be aff<cted by major structural changes in global political arrangements and oconomies. As goods and sorvices continue to Row freely across national boundaries and as multinational organizations increase in number, you will need to become citizens not only of this nation, but also of the world. Perhaps you already have worked together with people from other cultures, and also may have strong opinions on conflicts taking place overseas. We encourage you to continue to be engaged internationally. UB has given you the educa· tion to mal<e a r<al differmco in the changing world; you have th• chana now to apply that training in th<most productive and progressiv< ways. The now mill<nnium will noed your skills. your training and your VI sion. As graduates of th< UnM:rsity at Buffalo, you have hdped to realize UB's commitment to serving the public and advancing the current state of resoarch.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Donlig .,..._ lAIII- ~­ ....,._ -~ International office recruits students in 15 countries By PAT1UCIA DONOVAN News Services Editor P ROFESSIONALS who staff the office of lntema· tional Enrollment Man agement (IEM ) under the vice provost for internationaJ education are among the best-traveledand sometimes the most tiredmembers of the UB community. Jionardi Hindrawan, director of IEM, and Steven Shaw, assistant director, are the university's prin cipal interna tional -student re cruiters. Their job calls for them to spend a great deal of time representing UB at overseas recruit ment events fo r students who want to study in the United States. Since the office was established last year, Hindrawan and Shaw h~ve participated in 35 such events in IS countries in Asia, the Middle East and North America . In consultation with the Office of the Provost and the deans. IEM has developed a strategic plan designed to increase and diversify interna tional enrollments. While maintain· ing or increasing enrollments from Asia-the source region of most of the universitYs international student.s-IEM also is developing mar· kets in the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Africa. "What we want to achieve." says Tun Rutenber, acting vice provost for internationaJ education, ..is a sustainable, diverse and balanced popula· tion of high-quality international students from all ov..- the world." Hindrawan and Shaw are assisted by colleagues in the Office of International Education, the English Language Institute, the School of Engineering and Ap· plied Sciences and the Graduate School. The recruiters have spent time in Argentina, Bahrain, Bra· zi l, Ca nada , Chile, Colo mbia , Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indo· nesia, Italy, Japan , Korea , Kuwait , Malaysia , Oman, Singapore , Spain, Taiwan. Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Although the job may sound ex· otic., the recruiters say overseas re· cruitment typically involves many hours standing behind a table in an overheated exhibition hall, talking to hundreds of inter<:sted studen ts in the course of a long day, then fty· ing to another city the next day to do the same thing again. The pace is hectic. exhausting and may stirtch over a period of S<'Veral weeks. "The crowds at some venues, particularly those in Asia, are very, very large," says Hindrawan. "A recruiter from a popular school is mobbed wntinuously from morning to night by groups of 20 or more young people interested in getting informa· tion or in applying for admission." Nevertheless, Rutenber says the direct person·to· person approach oontinues to be the best to recruit overseas students. "In the last decade, overseas recruitment drives have become im· pe.rative. even for universities like UB that ha>e a long, ~t~cassful his· tory of attracting large numbers of e~Uent studenu from abroad," Rutenber explains. "The reason for this is that the recruitment of uni· versity students has become a highly competitive global enterprise. .. International studenu an~ im portant institutional asseu, not only for the economic contribution they make, but also for the important role they have in research, teaching and the cultural life of their host campuses.• The number of int=tional stu· dents coming to the U.S. continues to inc:rease--more than 481 ,000 in 1997·98, according to the annual census wnducted by the lnstitut<-of International Education--but the ;....y number of institu~ons trying to enroll the bat students from ov..-· seas has grown even more rapidly. "The schools competing with UB are not onJy peer uniVersities and colleges in the United States." Hindrawan says, • but institutions in Australia, Britain and Canada. These schools ha"" recently under· taken aggressive, well-organized international recruitment campaigns aided by government and immigration policies that particu· larly favor the enrollment of inter· nationaJ students.• Although wmpetition from for· eign institutions has made int~ ­ tional recruitment more challeng· ing, UB has been coceptionally SUC· cessful since 1995, the year the uni · versity first participated in overseas recruitment events. By last lidl. the int=tional undergraduate enroll· ment at the unive.rsity reached 423-an increase of 58 peo=t over 1994 figures.lnt=tional gradu;lte students now number 1,504, an in· crease of l3 peo=t since 1994. "So far this year, the number of int=tiooal applications,..•..,,... cei...t susgests that enrollments will again be up significantly in the nat academic year," Hindrawan says. �May6,l!!Mol.ll,lo3l Repadea 3 Jacquelyn Mitchell dies at 59; dean of GSE BrieBy Educator applauded for her commitment to urban schools 11J PADICIA ooNovAII News Services Editor memorial service was held yesterday in Glen Park. Williamsville, for Jacquelyn Mitchell, 59, dean of the Graduate School of Education, who died at home Friday after a short illness. MitcheU came to UB in 1997, the first African -American dean in A the university's history. She quickly established a reputation as an innovative administrator and educator with a great commitment to u rban schools. " Jacquelyn MitcbeU's death is a majo r loss to the university,• said President William R. Greiner. "She was a highly energetic, inteUigent person who brought new vision to her faculty and the university.

Results of two studies on this issue were presented Sunday in San Francisco at the annual meet ing of the Society for Pediatric Research. The findings showed that persons treated for Hodgkin's disease as children were at nine times the risk of developing a second cancer, with risks of developing certain types of cancer much higher than that, compared to patients without Hodgkin's disease. The risk of developing thy roid cancer in males was especi ally high-164 times that o f controls. .. These an big relative risks," said Daniel M. Gre<:n, UB professor of pediatrics, a specialist in pediatric oncology at RPCI and senior researcher on the studies. "These studies should alert physicians to the need for careful and continuing screening at a much earlier age than the Ameri ca n Can cer Society recommends for the population at large." The st udies involved 182 pa tient s treated at RP C I for Hodgkin's disease between 1960 and 1989. All were less than 20 years old when their disease was diagnosed. By the time they werro 30, 27 percent of the patients had developed at least one sec- ond cancer, excluding skin cancer. A second study re - ported on incidence of skin cancer only.

"With higher survival rates for Hodgkin's disease, we are going to see more second cancers down the road," said Iulie A. Reynolds, pediatric resident at The Children's Hospital of Buffalo and first au . thor on the study. ,.We ne.ed to look at the data to see the influ ence of various tre.atments and to educate the patient about the need for screening." No single treaunent was found to have a significant ef. feet on second-cancer risk. ln the study on basal ceU cara noma alone, headed by Gre<:n, find · ings showed that the most irnpor1llnt variable was combined treatment with radiatio n and chemotherapy. . . . . for Hodgkin's dlseue, we are going to 1ft mon second canc:en clown the .....t." fULIE A.

"That's why it was a problem II=," said Costello. "The students are posoing their progranis bad; and forth." In particular, CIT and UB Micro staff pointed to the MP3 format, a wildly popular format for sharing digital music over the Internet. According to Costello, some stu· dents whose computers had been hit by Chemobyl had as many as 800 songs stored on their hard drives. If the virus infects all of the pro· lucky.

Connection to Internet II to aid research efforts By CHRJrnNE VIDAL Nt!W1i Services Editor U B joined the " n ext gener ati o n" of the Internet April 9 when it connected t o Internet 2, the ne\\' network devel oped by a consortium of universities to suppo rt research activities and other data and voice-commu nication needs that cannot be handled by th e commercial Internet. And UB administrators are ask ing faculty members to begin thinking about how to take advantage of this increased capability through new collaborations with colleagues at other institutions. lnterneo 2, officially called the University Corporation for Appli cations in Internet Development, will allow resea rchers at 140 participating un iversities, including UB, to utilize much higher·speed, data -transfer capabilities than have been available before, accord ing to Hinrich Martens, associate vice president for computing and mforma tion technology at UB. Faster data transmission Researchers using Internet 1 will have the capability to transmit data at 150 megabits per second, a rate six times faster than the com mercial Internet's capacity of 25 megabi ts per second. It also will allow users to establish point -to -point connections from a UB researcher's desktop to another researcher's desktop at another location . In addition to the direct connection, Internet 2 will offer a quality o f service .. that assures that two researchers who have established a connection will have guaranteed bandwidth allocated to them for certain durations of time," a factor very important to collaborative re~arch efforts, such as tho~ in volving remote manipulations that require real-time data and video links, Martens said. Information can be merged In ter net 2 also will allow re sea rchers to draw on different kinds of da tabases to merge or overlay information to perform certain studies. For example, Martens said, researchers at US's Na tional Center for Geographk In formation Analysis ( NCGIA ) could tap into health information developed and maintained at onC' s ite , then blend it with demo graphic information obtained at another site and city maps that are maintained at a third site, compiJ· ing the data to achieve a research objective. US's Internet 2 connection is funded in pari by a S350.000 grant from the National Science Foun- dation to hook into the VBNs, a network connecting tht supercomputing sites at universi ties all around the nation. UB received the money as its share of a maximum $1.75 million grant from the NSF to five core members ofNYSERNet~a not-forprofit organization of New York State research and educational in stitutions created in 1985 to ad vance the use of cutting-edge net - working technology to support research and education. The grant funded the NYSERNet 2000 project, a part· nenhip with the state to build a high-performance network infra. structure that parallels the New York State Thruw.oy and provides connectivity to the VBNs from New York City to Buffalo. Seve n New York State institu- tions-US, University of Rochester, Syracuse University, Cornell University, Rensselaer Polytechnic University, Columbia University and New York University-are level research institution-and provide information to justify the connection, such as coUaborations with othu universities that require high-~peed communication on dedicated bandwidths. Several centers will l>enefit In addition to the NCGIA, con· ters at VB that Martens said he expects will benefit from the capabili· tles offered by Internet 2 include the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), the Center for Compu· tational Research, the Department of Computer Science and Engi· neering, and the Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR). But the potential is unlimited, Martens notrd. "We want faculty to be awarC' of it (Internet 2) and start thinking about what they can do to oollaborate with their pttrs at other in stitutions.• he said. .. We need to start up and take advantage of this part of the t'IYSERNet network. new capability through joint ap· and another four-SUNY Stony Brook, University al Albany, plications for funding to .support thC' new research capabilities in an Clarkson Univenity and Polytech- expanded dimension."

Course evaluations are roadmap for improvement, should remain mandatory To the Editor of the~ In a letter published in last week's Reporter, Professor Slater re ported on undergraduat<: education from the other side of the desk and, not surprisingly, was appallod at the behavior of many of his fellow studmts. He speaks for many of us who are troubled by the apparent transfonnation of the live classroom into a parOdy of the virtual uni¥ersitywhere an image of unengaged students beside a 1V n:moll: control or an ATM oomes to mind ;; fective wachingand learning is an unpleasant battle. However, his worry abo ut the effec t of tougher classroom policies and codes of behavior on the subsequent evaluations of faculty is unfo unded . Previ o us ly in t he Undergra du ate College and currently in the College of Arts a nd Sciences. I have regula rly rev iewed hun dreds of student eval uations. I know th at the more stud ents have learn ed, the better their evaluation of the instructor and co urse! I know that studen ts evaluate well an organized sec - tion where they are held to ac count and the inslr\J cto r is fa ir. 1 know that evaluations, good or bad, are rarely a surprise to faculty. I have seen no evidence of the the teacher and the university about what needs improvement aild what is worlring well. B u t they must also be mandatory to obtain the benchmarks we need. Furthermore, when st udent evaluations are abused beca use they an the only information about teaching, it is the tenure review that needs fixing, not the evaluation. Let us not exaggerate the imponance of student eva lu ations by elimina t ing them. ·~ There are many courses where the very classroom policies Professor Slater calls for aJ~ old hat and the st udents a re accountable for their learnin g and be havior. I'd b et that , taken to gether, the student's evaluations in orderly sections are no worse: and probably better than those in the undisciplined section s, like the o ne he audited . To me, this si w ati on cries o ut fo r more than rul es for st udent behavior. Excel lence in the classroom is a responsibility we hold in co m mon and ca nn o t so lve alone. New fa culty should have an ex perien ced colleague as a class room mentor. and we shou ldn 't entru st to student s those parts of the eva lu ati on that a rc right fu ll y the res po nsib ilit y of fac ulty. Every classroom shou ld be a place for effed ive teaching and lea rning. Evaluations ca n on ly help. student retiliation and resentment that Professor Slater fears and which leads to his call for an end to mandatory evaluations. I have been visill:d by student delegations carryini the most severe complaints about faculty members and received their assurances that the entire. class was in rebellion and would show it on the evaluatio n . The terr ible evaluations never materialized bccau~. while students well understand resentment, they cannot believe that a course evaluation offers possibilities for retaliation. Written comments-always a forum for extreme opinions; but most often only useful as feedback to the teacher~ffer an opportunity to vent but not to retaliate. The disaffected students described by Professor Slater won't seek revenge because they also are disengaged from th e eva lu ation . They probably were absent when the evaluation was administered. Course evaluations do offer the teacher a roadmap for improve ment. The research is very clear about the improvement of teach ing and learning-it can happen and can be measured. The range of ratings a m ong facu lt y and co urses tells us about real differences in the classrooms of UB. Course evaluatio ns shou ld remain mandatory because they remind ~eter Gold , Associate Dean, Colfege of Am and SoenceJ Clarifying general service fee policy m To the Editor: The April 8 Reporter article titled "FSEC bearso=viewofnewuni; fo nn service fee .. contains informatiqn that requires clarification.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Whet Is the grut..t challenge facing the students who surrivecl t he Coloreclo school shootings? To learn to I rust again. Most of us go to work or school each day feol ing relativfiYsaf~ in ourworkplac~ or in o ur school. W~ don ~t ~ven think about iL We automatically feel safe. High -school lcids don't think about dying much. And all of a sudden this unthinkable death invades their school, their friends. their classroom. And _it tends to pull the rug ou t from underneath their trust and their faith in the world. All of a sudden you can't ass ume you're safe. So it's going to be hard to devolop that faith and trust again. It's going to- be hard to get free of the fear that this co uld happen again. The advantage of being young is that gradu ally that will dissipate. We usually find that when a tragedy hits a school, the effects are keenly felt during the remainder of that sc hool year. When a new year starts, much of the effect of the previous year's tragedy is gone; it's like starting over. What .do you thlnll of reports that Columbine High khool may be demolished, or at the least not reopen 1 O rdinarily l think that would be a mistake. An unus ual, extraordinary event has happened and it creates a lot of fear. How do you co mbat fear? Fear breeds in the unknown. You can reduce fear by making the unknown known. When things are thrown off-Iciiter, if you can get back to routines it makes peoplo feel safor-back to the usual, back to tho known, back to the regular, back to the normal So that ordinarily in a school-let's say a student has committed suicide .or a student has been murdered-we want to opon the school the next day and we want all tho lcids to como to school becauso normally you go to schooL Plus, tho school can be equipped with counselors and psychologists to doal with the emotional trauma. So ordinarily~ we wouldn't want to dose the school or tear it down, that would be almost lotting the tragedy, tho evil take over. And whon I say got back to normal, I don't mean gloss over as if it never happened. I just mean get ;u much as you can back to normal as soon as you can while you deal with it. How can counselon and fam. lly ............ help )'OUng -..M who have faced this kind of tragedy? We doo't want to. feod the fear; we don' t want to make it worse. So that means· that we want to provide as mudt Security and safety and normalcy as we can. That will reduce the fear. And to listen to their kids, support their lcids and not give thoir kids advice.

The department's anniversary plans will be ann ounced in the fiill1 according to Pappas, who served as chair in the late '70s and early '90s. and Margaret Gillette, the department's former secretary and administrative assistant, both of whom are on the anniversar y planning committee. They expect to present a series o f events that will involve many UB departments and Buffalo's African -American community, with which the program has been in volved since its inception. \ < wldwF 72 dt • Strengths In Atriatn"So many in the community went through this program,• Gillett< says. "or their kids did, or their grandchildren. So they support iL" Department Chair Peter Ekeh, a native of Nigeria, san thou since it was founded as a program in African -American studies, the department has developed addi tional strengths in African studies, the African diaspora and African Caribbean studies, and hopes to strengthen iu graduate program in the coming years. But the 30 intervening years . weren't always easy, Pappas recalls. "There were times when we saw the best and worst sides of the aCademic community," he says ... We stuck to it, though. We believed in what we were doing, were-close to one another, had the academic credentials to provide very good courses and excellent teaching. And we've always had studentsnearly 1,000 in 1972, for instance." "In the 1999 spring semester. more than 500 undergraduates took courses through our depart ment." Ekeh adds. "We also have 3540 majors and several graduate students." The civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s encouraged an in · terest in the study of black history and culture. By 1968, 26 courses that qualified as black-studies cour= were being taught by vari ous UB departments. The actual birtll of African -American studies as an academic field, however, arose in the wake of the grief and fu ry that followed the assassination o ( Martin Luther King. Jr. Black-stud· ies programs sprang up almost overnight in high schools, colleges and universities across the United States. UB was no exception. In 1969, the university agre«< to organize its relevant courses into a new program of study to be called the Black Studies Program. Archi - . . .._.-.------.. . ------"'-Doplot_.,AtrW.t _ _ _ lt _ _ lts _ val documents indicate a broad base of support among the faculty of departmenu ranging from geography and law to music, English, education and the social sciences. "In those days," Pappas remem bers, "there was so much energy and devotion to the exploration of our culture and the pursuit of so1 cial justice-it spilkd over into academic life and ultimately transformed it in substantial ways we can clearly see today... Ubonls .....,_ml progrwn Having garnered considerable support amongUB's white, liberal faculty, the Black Studies Program was, in iu early days. well-funded, socially active and very popular with studenu. Although iu popularity among students continued, the very premise upon which it was founded later was questioned and criticized by some of the same faculty members who had support~ it, provoking much discomfort and unpleasantness. In addition, scholars from Africa-who in many cases had come to the U.S. for graduate school or to escape civil war or government harassment-were more supponive of the American capitalist system than were many African American academic activists. who considered capitalism an agent of black oppression. The Africanists wanted to expand the department to include the study of the history, language, politia and cultures of Africa and the African dia!pora. Across the couotry, conflicts arose over these issues as well, a}. though UB's curriculum always has included the study of Africa and the Caribbean. After much debate and some an tagonism, the UB Department of African/ Afro-American Studies was founded in 1974 and quickly changed its name to African Ameri· can Studies, a co ncession to Africanisu in other departmenu. Pappas describes the beginning as a time of intense academic de· bate, largely about issues of social change and justice. Within the city's black community, there was a great deal of involvement with UB, as the inquiry into African American culture, history, psy· _ . . . . , . ... , ,__ chology and values was raised to the level of university studr.. " In the late '60s. early '70s, there was a strong sense of faculty fellow- ship, inclusion, a broadening of academic int~ a sense of being comrades-in-arms--blacks and liberal whites tOgether in oppoSition to conservative, white, Eurocentric academic hegemony;" Pappas says. And "The money was there." be recalls. "We were able to sponsor many academic lectures. co-sponsor events with other departments and with rommunity groups. bring in well -known scholars and support· visiu by well-known black literary figures and musicians.• As with all change, how.ver, there was a dowruide. From the beginning. the new programs in AfricanAmerican studies held an alien and antithetical posture in a hostile academic world, posing a deliberate, head-to-bead cballenge to the very system that had borne them. l'rogqm blgolry, "So with the excitement of change came years of difficulty as well," Pappas says. "Then was hypocrisy. administrative distrust, freely expressed bigotry, dcait, aademic turf wars and personal at tack-not just h<re, but everywh=. We're talking about the mid-70s. • Many of our studenu were activists, which did not make the going-any easier, administratively speaking." he points out. "Today, ours_tuden~theyoung ones---ere still interested in the social and cultural aspects of black studies, but ""' less-attuned to the battle for civil righu. They want to study hard, get a job, make money. And this iS what we aD fought forso that these kids wouldn't have to. "We know now that the historical period in which African American studies was established as a discipline marked the beginning of tremendous social and cultural change in American life," Pappas sa~ . "and these changes literally altered the way most of us looked at the world and changed our thinking about it. "People wbo had been ignored, even hated and debased-black and Hispanic Americans, Chicanos , N~tive Americans , _ women , gays-began to demand recognition of their lives, cultural values and ~ way of experiencing reality. It was also a time that pro- · voked the best and the worst behavior in academic life,• be sa.id On the positive side, he notes. it Wi.s a ti'me Of inierise, academic debate, largely in support of social change and social justice. Within the city's black community, there wa.s a great deal of involvement with UB. Pappu and Gillette recall the opposition to the little program in so'm'e · quarters-tb'e g.raffit i, name-calling and other rude and hostile' bel\avior continutd ·for several yeirt. " It was ba<l enough that we got it from a few angry white students," Pappas uys; " but we go4' it from faculty and staff, too. "There ..... of betrayal in the department, too," he continues. "Some of the same col leagues wbo bad encouraged and sponsored it from iu outset, just stepped back, 'forgot' or denied their original support." The most volatile critics at UB and other univemties insisted that the tendency of black studies to include., and even embrace, non · traditiqoal students and enlarge traditionaJ courses of study diluted a university's overall aca · demic quality. They claimed that the new programs were unable to cope with the rigid demand s posed by traditional scholarship. Pappas stresses, however, that the faculty at UBwashighlyqualified academically and taught in content areas covered nowhere else on campus. Ekeh concurs, noting that until very recently, aD aspects of African history were ignored in every department but his own and th at African art and culture might not be taught at aD if African Ameri · can Studies did not exist. By preparing the hard ground of American culture for future change, the civil-rights movement in all of its incarnations and the black· studies programs th at evolved from it; including UB's, have served as models for other in dusion movements, Pappas says. sense �__ Ap0129, 1999/Vul.Jl. le.ll .,.Baseball belongs to funs, lasorda says - 5eMces EditoriiiAssisUnt F Ull of joka. stories and a bit of inspirational advice, former Los Angeles Dodg- err manager Tommy Lasorda ddigbtcd tho audienc;., in tho Centa)or tho Aria April 22induding aome die-bard Dodgen tan.-es be toudttxl oo some ofhis _ _ .......,. _ _,.....,.whootewr -want. but _ _, only ....... _ . _ through t h e - of- __ .. most memorable moments in 50 yean with what be refared 10 as "the · greatest orpnizatioo in baseboll." .. 1 don't win championships Referring to God as the "big Dodger in the sky" and Dodgers wjth •tryers,' I win with 'doers,"' added Lasorda who, in 1997, was Stadium as .. blue heaven on eanh,• Laso rda, whose talk closed out the named Manager of the Year and was inducted into the Baseball 1998-99 edition of the DiSiin guished Speakers Series, said his epitaph will read " Dodgers sta dium was his addnss but every ballpark was his home ."

The pro vost said that , particu larly at the stale level , colleges and universities increasingly will be as ~on their educational perfor- including an inquiry about the most dramatic moment in his ca reer, which. he said, was undoubtedly when an injured Kirk Gibson hobbled up to the plate and hit a game-winnjng, two-run homer to paralyze the Oakland Athletics in Game I of the 1988 World Series. But when asked about his favor· lle player or all-time favorit e D9dger rotation, Lasorda said: "There have been so many guys that I loved so much, I ca n't pick one. In more than 100 years of the game of baseball, only t• manag ers have been inducted into th(' HaH of Fame and it was aU of m y players that put m e there." He also commented that overall. pitching in baseball today is"weak" compared to that of pitchers of the past. "Do you think MeG wire and Sosa would 've hit all of those hom· ers in 19501" he asked. "No way." Later, he noted that the Dodg· ers' own Sandy Koufax was the greatest pitcher that he had seen in bis career. The best hitter? Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox. When asked to comment on the late baseball icon Joe D iMaggio, Lasorda caUed him the .. greatest baseball player ever. .. He made us lutlians very proud of him. When we lost him, we lost a tr~mendous person and a tremendow ball player."' l.asorda stressed that somethin g needs to~ done to mili the gamr o f baseball better for the fans, not ing the increase in pri ces for game tickets and concessions. "This game does no t belo ng to the players or the ow ners. but to th e fans," he emphasized . .. We need to make the fans know how much we love them . "Today the players have become rnerrenaries.

Referring to the famous line ..show me the money" from the movie " Jerry Maguire." Lasorda said, "that's what it is aU about today."

B4t these are issues that faculty, for the most part, " have never deah with very seriously," Triggle said, noting that he thinks this exercise will requin colleges and un iversi ties to refoc us and revise their campus missions . "This will bting a great deal of angst to people as we challenge long -cherished and lo ng - held views of what we should be doing and what we are all about. "Olange is a very difficult issue to deal with at a univt'rsity ... he said. Triggle suggested that institu tions of higher learning can be placed into three categories: the " brand - name"' institutions, such as Harvard , Yale and Duke; the "convenience" institutions, such as Phoenix and Motorola , and the .. mass -market " institutions, where most state universities-i ncludin g UB-and liberal arts insti tutio ns li e. These mass - market institu tions, he said, will be "i ncreasi ngly buffeted by the white waters of change.'' They will not survive, he warned, .. unless they respond to the chang- ing demands of the marketplace and establish roles and functions and niches they can uniquely sat isfy relative to the competition. "Unjversities face massive issues of change," he said, adding that VB. as wd1 as other institutions, currentJy are in the midst of such issues. Unive,.ities will have to establish perfonnance indicators, not o nly to satisfy the public, but also so that the institutions know intemal.ly the suecess and impact of their programs. Triggle said that VB is looking at all its programs and asking such q uestions as: What is the mission of the university, school, depart mentor program~ Is the program still wonh providing? Would UB offer the program if it weren't al ready providing it ? Moreover, when establtshtng new programs, umversllte ~ mu st look for "areas of co mpet1t1vt' ad van tage," he said . But the dilemma presented m (,.Lit ung unproductive programs and t'!> tablishing new ones is that the dt"l.""l sion - making process mherent m higher education 1s bad, a process that Triggle described as an "endless loop" of large, participatory commit · tees that meet for mo nths. and whtch among the young<ters that education is more important than win - ning. But in the major leagues-forget it-you have to win."

ASL narrows the gap between cultures of deaf and hearing By MAliA~ N~ Servkes Editorial Anistant ORN deaf and raised in a hearing family, ~ Dray spent the first 16 years of B her life unexpos~ to the culture and language that now de· fi ne- her identity and career. Dray, who is the instructor for UB's new courses in Ame ri can Sign Language (ASL ), hnp<S to help narrow the gap between cu ltures of the deaf and the hearing, as well as expose hearing people to the deaf cu lture of America. " I grew up in an oraJ environment, attended public schools and n~r knew sign language. I was not introduced to another deaf person until I wdS 16 years old." explains Dray. When she was not accepted by he r deaf peers as a teen, Dray real tzed that there was a distinct deaf <.u lture, sepa rate from the main ~ tream hearing culture, with its o wn rules . expec t a ti o ns a n d meam of communication . .. The reason why I got involved teaching ASL is that the cross-over mto other culrures is very difficult . I want to make it easier for both cultures to appreciate the other and hdp both hea ring and d<af people bt""tter understand each other."

"ASL bas already demonstrated the potential for phenomenal growth ," says Ashwill. "We also are offering an introductory ASL course this summer, which .is aJ most at capacity." The culture surrounding deafness, including the basic apecta· tion s, values and traditions, is what Dray exposes students to in her ASL courses. "Naturally, studentsarequitenervous when they· begin the course and don't really know how to respond." explains Dray, a graduate of Gallaudet University, the world's only un iversity for deaf undergraduate students. She says she en co urages students from the beginning of the course to use gestures or fmgcr-spelling, rather than wrinen words, to express themselves. .. We begin by covering how to approach a deaf person , what to do when you meet a deaf person, and so on," explains Dray. "S tudent s have reacted very positively. Some first come to dass thinking 'O.

Mang says th e incidence of certain types of cancers related to pesticide expos ure also increases. At th e sa me time, he adds, by t~ea t i ng lawn s a nd garden s with pesticides, Americans are ensuring that nex t year's bugs will be even harder to eliminate than this yea r's, a recipe for ecological di saste r. These an<! other disturbing facts were part of Mang's "U B a t Sun n se" talk last week on " Dangerous Lawns: The Health Risks of a Flawless Lawn." Ma ng, a climcal and research associate professor of o ral and max il lofacial surgery in the School of Dental Medi ci ne, served on the City of Buffalo Pestici de Management Board from 1991 ~ 98 and also sat on the Town of Amherst Pesticide Advisory Board. He told his a ud1 ence sa1d that Amer ica n s con tinu e to spe nd mo re money each year on chemi cally trea ted lawns, in spi te of new mformation and studies publis hed in prestigious, peer-reviewed journals. Those studies, he said, repeat edly have fo und that pesticideswhich include herbicides and fun gicides-are related to increases in E certam types of cancers. .. Each year, there is a S-8 percent increase in the usc of lawn -ca re chemicals," sa id Man g... and a 3-4 percent increase in non -Hodgkin 's lymphoma." While no direct correlation has lx'Cll proven between those increases. he noted that non -Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of~ that debili tat es th e immune system, has in many studies been linked to pestia<k exposure. For example, Mang said, iDdi viduals who handle pesticides in thei r jobs, such as farmers, are fo ur times as likel y to develop nonHodgkin's lymphoma th an are o ther people. He cited a recent study noting that in people who are exposed to pesticides for more than 20 days per year, there is a three- to seven-fold increase in the incidence.' of non -Hodgkin's lymphoma. O ther stud ies. he said, have show n tha t in children, exposu re to pesticides significantly increases their risk of developing leukemta. Even pets, said Mang, are vul nerable, with dogs that have been exposed to pesticides demonstrat 10g the same types of inc reases tn these cancers. Mang said that peslJCJdes persast in the atmosphere, often for mo nths at a time. He cited a re· cent Environmen tal Protection Agency study that found that 23 kinds of pesticides can be detected 10 the dust inside homes. But it is not just current exposures to pesticides that are the problem, he sa id. Future generations, he added, are being affected, too, through birth defects linked to pesticide exposure and through infertility problems found in animals and now being seen in humans. "A lo t o f pesticides a re estrogen mimics and they persist in the enviro nment," said Mang. These pesticides, he added, can have severe effects, and have been linked to in creases in breast and testicular cancer. as weU as to an increase in sdme very rare birth defects and in ~vere drops in sperm co unts in human maJ es. But ironically, Ma ng said that at th e same time that the scientific link berween pesticides an d cancer and birth defects has been growing, Ame ri ca n s have been spe nding more, not less, on these products. The public, he said, mistakenly is tak..i ng comfort 10 labels that say products are registered with the EPA. .. The Environmental Protection Agency is not a consumer-protection agency," he said ... It is a registration agency. All the EPA asks of a pesticide manufaau~r. is ' Does it work against the target organism?' If the answer is 'yes,' that's good enough (for it to be registered)." In fact, he said, it now is against the law in New York Slllte for any pesticide manufacturer or applicator to say that pesticides are safe, ~ when used in a proper manner. "We do not know enough about th ese substances," said Mang . ...We don't know about their metabolic fate because it 's not part of the testing procedure. We don't know how they interact with each othef or with some medication that you may be taking." But probably the most important reaso n not to use ~ti cides, said Mang, is that, ultimaidy, they cause pests to do mo~not less-damage to lawns, plants and crops. " We're creating a drug-depen· dent environment,.. he said. ·we are killing the easy pests and selecting out for the tougher ones. We don't need to sp ray our o rnamental bushes every year ; we 're just breeding a tougher bug." Instead, said Mang, consumers sho uld try non-chemical W3)'5 of controlling pests. such as integrated pest manage ment (IPM) , which advocates non -chemica.J and least toxic solutions. They include mechanical contro ls; physical barr iers, such as caulking to mp pests from com ing indoors. and chemical oontrols, such as fl y strips that contain sex hormones that attract insects. He noted that information on IPM is available from th e state's Environm ental Protection Bureau and its attorney general's offict. �April ZS. 1999/Vul.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Faculty Senate amends its charter Action expands authority to include graduate and professional education ay SUE WU£TCHU \ ' Reporte< Editor T HE Faculty Senate Thesday amended iu charter to give it more s-pecific authority over gfaduate and professional education, a move that supporters say will help prevent "'mischief.. by the university administration. Senators approved the charter change, which drops all distinctions between undelgraduate-, graduateand professional-d~ programs when outlinilig the senate's authority, despite a report from the BylaW> Committee that took "no stand" on the issue. BylaW> Committee Chair Judith Hopkins, technical services research analysis officer for the University Libraries, said the charter already g;Mthesenatethe right to review and make proposals concerning d~ requirements and curricula for graduate and professional programs But William Georgo. professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. who first proposed last December that the charter be revised to give the senate mo"' specific authority over graduate edueation, persisted, giving senators~ reasons for doing so. He said the body has been chartered to oversee graduate education through the bylaW> of the Voting Faculty, no other democratically elected body is overseeing graduate and professional education, and because ..it needs to be done." "We have witnessed already the problems we have to deal with because we have not exercised our responsibilities," he said, alluding to recent controversy springing from the merger of the Department of Statistics with the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, as weU as the ongoing debate over the faculty's input into the mission· review process ... The only assurance a "faculty or school has that its own internal governance and proce· dures wiU be followed in decision making is that the senate is watch· ing and that administrators will be called to explain their actions." He told his colleagues that it as crucial that they act on the ts.sue now, as the university plans for the 2 1st century. "We have an opportunity to define the senate of the future, and perhaps with it the role the faculty will play in the decisions about the future of the university," he said, noting that the provost has made it dear that .. big changes are going to occur. The question is whether we're going to participate in those changes. We can , of course, duck-we have a history of doing that. We can take our chances with the practices which have so frustrated us in the past. Or we can seize the moment, and co ntrol our own destiny." Samuel Schack, professor of mathematics, agreed with George that this resolution was ..an Fpor· tant moment for the senate to stan exercising all its responsibilities." It does not mean that the sen · ate will start "meddling" in such "minutia e" as whether two or three languages are required for a doctoral degree in mathemati cs, he said. ~-..,...s UB system detects military, medical targets By ELI..lH GOI.DIIAUM News Servkes Editor K ARsystems employing image-formation algo· rithms developed by a UB associate professor -and likely being used by NATO planes to spot hidden targets in Yugoslavia-have the potential to significantly improve medical ul trasonic imaging. Used in the Gulf War, the imag. ing algorithms developed by Mehrdad Soumekb, associate pro· fessor of electrical engineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, produce high-=olution maps that enable users to pick out targets hidden in dense foliage or in crowded urban envirolliJleJlts. Soume.k h recently received a $500,000 grant from th• U.S. De· partment of Defense to establish at UB a high-performance computing ce.nter to test and refine the imaging algorithm s.

At about the same time, the defense community berame interested earlier tumor detection," he says. Because of the high-speed nature of their measurement system, the imagi ng algorithms could make ultrasonic imaging up to 200 times faster than current commercial ultrasound systems without a tradeoff in resolution. an important issue in imaging dynamk targets, such as the human heart.

Iince you began worll fMicl7 the The major transformations have been in modes or access to information and the scope of information available. I began my career in 1975 when the first computer systems arrived in libraries and we've been mastering or embracing emerging technologies at a constandy accelerating speed for 25 years. The revolution in access for everyone to worldwide information resources has made I.Jbraries very possibly the most democratic institution in our culture. This is what ma.kes our profession so rewarding. Today, a challenge for libraries is to create effective gateways to all this informatipn that are responsive to the different ways we learn. Us ..old fogies"' are linear-we approach information by readiug front to back, top to bottom in a detectable sequence-while young folks are "twitchers," jumping around following intuitive, fast-paced connections. Do you think there will eYer be ·-~eo. · llbr..tes7 The greatest roadblock for virtual booldess libraries is the impermanence of electronic media.

CD· ROMs haY< been found to be reliable for only five years. while digital and access technologies continually change, forcing repeated cosdy reformatting at the least. With the lnternet and networks, extensive coU«tions may now reside in only one place on one server that allows univ....I access. However, the dark side of this fragile dependence was dramatically demonstrated to me in the last couple weeks as I looked at Lockwood's books on art and arChitecture in Kosovo and Yugoslavia- th~ books, held by many bbrarit:s throughout the world, are perhaps the only historic record of treasures now destroy«~ by war and (!One for- e=. computer user.

UllMnityFacilities' operating budget saw significant reductions, Dupre noted. " Between 1990-91 and today, we;re down $7 million annually, so that's bad an impact on what we·~ done (in terms of maintenance and aesthetic imp~ents)," he said. But the reductions were ·a good exercise," and "in 1998-99, we mo~ into a ~-year-plan that will help investments on campus." Among those investments is an estimated $2.5 million that UB expec:ts to spend on exterior sigoage, which currently, Dupre said, is "horrible_• In all, the project will invol~ the constructtion of I ,200 signs, includificant new masonry signmade ofbrick on the North T ca. as well as ve. g. pedestrian and special signage, Dupre said Bu.ildings themsel>es also are getting a facclift, including exterior restoration of buildings on the South Campus and the demolition of metal bu.ildings "as possible." Dupre noted that Parker Annex already has been tom down, and others will be demolished in the future. "Moving math to the North Campus will help," be said. The exterior stone walls of Foster Hall ha~ been steamcleaned to remove yean of dirt and stains, and future efforts will focus on Crosby and Hayes halls. Oark Hall has been painted, something that hadn't been done in 20 years, Dupre said also outlined improomneots to the ground Ooor of Capen Hall. a transformation that President William R Greiner called "miraculous." • That placet• Greiner com mented, • we could not keep it clean. I come in that way every single moming .... Students were notusingiL ..Nowwe'~redaimed the spaa as an entryway and as a gathering placz for students." Campus renovations also include improvements to sidewalks, parking lots, fencing.landscapi.ng and roads, Dupre noted. But Jeremy Jacobs, chair of the council, took issue with the work being d()ne to the campuses. It "should never have gotten to that point." Jacobs also questioned the practice of hiring outside contractors to perform restoration work. as weU as to design and construct the masonry signposts that w.ill mark each campus entrance. Greiner responded that the current universitystaffingwas"optimal." and noted that "for capital projects, the tradition is that you go outside." "We certainly have the expertise on campus .. to design the signposts, added Robert J. Wagner, senior vice president. But, he noted, .. we tend to go to outside finns because..., don't ~ the expertise to go from conceptual design to the construction process." In other business, the council was updated on new student housing being built on campus. Noting that Hadley Village had sold out before students could even get in to see whal the apartments would be like, Greiner announced He that Foit-Aibert and Associates has been chosen to design and bu.ild South Lake Village. to be located on the south shore of Lake LaSalle. Construction is expected to begin this summer, with occupaney slated for August 2000. Tbe complex will add 500 to 700 bed spaces to the North Campus and could be expanded to housing for a total of 1,700 students. Dennis Black, vice president for student al&irs, called the project "different than anything we:ve offered before. "A university our sitt and scope in another setting would be expected to have twice the (on-campus) housing -·~provided." be added Black noted that no determination has been made whether apartments in the South Lake Village complex would be co-ed, adding"there are few co-ed complcxos on campuses in the State of New York." He also told the cou ncil that the university still plans to renovate the residence halls on the South Campus, although UB won't be completing any of that work for two to three years. Two things are going to happen to student housing on the South Campus, Black said. "The residence halls will become more connected with the acade mi c programs on that campus ... and the number of bed spaces will decrease, and we ' ll measure future neWs for housing on the South Campus." He added that UB will continue its work on the University Community Initiative and th e stabilization of the community around that campus. Provost search committee named Preslclent William • · c;relner has announced the members of the search committee for the po- sition ol provost. The committee. which will be cnaired by Greiner, with Senior VIce Pn!sidentRobertJ. Wog:>er ser;ing as vice chair, represents .. major campus COI>Siituencies.

The conference, sponsored by the UB Institute on R<search and Edu- cation on Women and Gender (I REWG ), took place Friday in Harriman HaD and featured presen- tations by researchers from 1M: disciplines and poster presentations by two dozen others that described research by or about women. In her keynote ~ GrantBishop discussed the large number of mentally ill American women who are neither diagnosed nor treated correctly because primarycare pbysiciai!s do not properly diagnose the physical symptoms of clinical and sub-dinical depression. She said that during her tenure, the county bas moved to improve sensitivity training and education programs fOT its health-care workers, promote better outreach efforts and raise awareness of the consequences of substance abuse for the physical and mental health of women. It also bas expanded day-are fllcilities to acmmmodate · women in substance·abu.se treat· ment progranu, which bas significantly increased attendance. She warned that drug use is exceptionally dangeruus for women, whether or not they are the usen. "A large number of black. Hispanic and poor women are living in homes where drug use is prn-alent, and alcohol aod substance abuse are very, very strongly linlced with violence against wom.t.n ," Grant-Bishop said, quoting from the Commonwealth Study on the effects of substance abuse. • Men who abuse drug.l are 28 times more likely to abuse their wi..,. than those who don't abwe drugs," she pointed ouL "Women living in such conditions ar< II times more likdy to be murdered than those in drug-Cr.., homes.

The grant pays up to $4j)O,OOO over four years with industry support. The awards recognize yuung faculty members who have demon strated outstanding potential as science and engineering investigators and educators. The work Alaandridis is doing is geared toward making intricate structures at scales ranging from nanometer (one billionth of a meter) to micrometer (one mil· lionth of a meter).

Z9 Panel reports on make-up work Developing 01Je-size-fits-alllanguage is difficult, FSEC told ., _ _a.a ~EditDf EFINING a policy reuiring faculty memto provide miliup tesu or additional instruction for students who mia exams or classes due to other u.oiversity-supported commitments has proven to be frustrating for a Faculty Senate committee. Jack Meacham, professor ofpoychology and chair of the senate's Educational Programs and Policies Committee, related his panel's difficulties to the Faculty Senate ing the "actual wording (for a policy) that does what's right for the faculty, that does what's right for the students." The committee bas devoted two meetings to discussion of the issue, and bas assigned the task to a subcommittee, he said, adding that the committee will spend one more meeting wr<Siing with the issue. ...... ......... . _......... ~.~ Executive Committee at the group's April14 meeting. Meacham wed the example of the student-athkte to illustrate to FSEC members the issue of students who essentially have "two contracts" with UB: a contract to pe~form on a team-or some other"univasity-sanctinned commitment"-and a contract to fulfill all of the requirements of the courses in which the athlete is enrolled. There may be instances, he said, where the athlete is expected to partidpate in an athletic con- \ test out of town on the same day an exam is scheduled in one of the athlete's classes. In these cases, students are "caught in a bind as to which contract rules.• Although providing make-up work usually does not pose a problem for faculty members teaching small counes, who easily can mili other arrangements, Meacham acknowledged that for faculty teaching large courses of 100-450 students, the notion of having a policy requiring them to provide miliup exams or additional instruction for students with a variety of com· mitments or legitimate absences is "frightening." "There are two 'goods' here that we're trying to balance," he said. "What's called for is balance, reasonableness and fairness on the part of both faculty and students." Meacham said his committee was having a hard time develop- won't get through all the situations that arise," Meacham replied, not · ing that students do have family ~and at least half of stu· dents work and may miss class due to a change in work schedule. Wtlliarn Baumer, professor of philosophy, told FSEC members that he has made it a policy to give make-up exams. In addition, he said, he gives students a certain number of absences they can use before their grades are affeeted and suggested that that kind of policy is a reasonable way to spare faculty members from the inevitable "dy· ing grandmother" acuses. Meacham pointed out that most faculty members have a variety of JAC1t MEACHAM In response to an observation from Mitchdl Harwitz, associate professor of economia, who suggested that tbe problem was isolated to large classes with "particularly rigid schednling problems or a particularly rigid faculty instructor," Meacham pointed out that some small classes do require some set-up, such as laboratory facilities, that would be difficult to recreate a few days later. Moreover, he noted that there arc some courses, such as the American Pluralism course that he teaches, in which students learn through interacting with each other in class. While he can relate to the student the theme or the class. '"that's not the same as having them struggle for an hour and a half through a number of exercises with their peer> and debate the issues and come to insights in their own mind. I can't recreate that experience for the students." Harwitz suggested that in those cases, the facultY member put a "'lag on the syllabus that says there are aspects of this class that can't be rescheduled . .. the student has to make a choi<x." But having such a warning on the syllabus "doesn't guarantee that we procedures that they use in these situations, procedures that differ from department to department , discipline to discipline, and also depend upon tb,e personality of tbe instructor"and to some extent bow many times you 've been burned recently." The committee's difficulty has not been with developing ex· amples of procedures that have worked for faculty members, but with developing language that, if presented as a Faculty Senate resolution, would work for all faculty and all departments and all types of classes. "We're stuck at that.; Mc:acham admitted. Samuel Schack, professor of mathematics. said he didn't think the Faculty Senate should try to .. micromanage how instructors conduct their courses." The reason the committee is having trouble developing a regulation, he suggested, is because there should not be a universitywide regulation as to how faculty handle these types of situations. What might be more appropri· ate, he said, is for the senate to develop some sort of appeals pro· cess that a student might pursue to receive an impartial hearing when a faculty member is not thority, the senate will continue "'The strongest insurance you have against mischief is that somebody is watching." The senate frequently complains about "mischief done" (by the administra· tion) because"we haven't watched. This is a resolution that says ' put it in the charter that we will start "1<\tching.' Let's do that."

To celebrate the nationally recognized day founded to increase environmental awareness. two UB groups are inviting members of the campus community to share a meal with them today. The UB Environmental Network (UBEN ) is hosting a vegetarian picnic outside the Student Union o n the North Campus, beginning at 11 a.m. The picnic is open to all members of the UB COJllmunity for $2 per person and will include a rock-climbing wall, music from a drum circle and nutritious, vegetarian foods served on reusable dinnerware, which means no paper. plastic or Styrofoam! In addition, the Buffalo Animal Rights Coalition (BARC) will sponsor an all-vegan-no meat, fish. dairy or any other animal prod ucts--potluck dinner at 6 p.m. in Pistachio's in the Student Uni on. BARC is asking that attendees bring their own plact settings to rt · duce waste. The cost of the dinner is $2 with a vegan dish and $4 without one. Earth-Day activities at UB also will include an exhibit in the Un dergraduate Library on the North Campus featuring books on a wide variety of environmental topics. The exhibit, on display on the first floor of the UGL until May 3, was organized by Aprille Nace. a stu· dent in the School of Information and Library St udi es. �UB senior is first 'Miss University' Tara Ann Neil, a UB senior, is crowned the first Miss University by Deana Herrera, Miss New York State 1998, at the Miss Buffalo and Miss University Scholarship Pageant.

These people have brought honor to tbe school this academic year. There has been no credit given to the numerous student-athletes who have pur the word ..student• in the phrase "'student-athlete." Athletes o n both the men~s and women's teams have won honors for their academic prowess, combined with their athletic skills. I believe credit should be given to all of these students, as well as tbeir coaches and the administrators in the athletic department. It is through the coaches and administrators who assist the studentathletes that the student -athletes are able to excel in the classroom. as well as on the fields of play. . Therefore, kudos and a tip of the hat to the true student -athletes at UB who should be recognized in tbe Reporter. It iJ these student- • athletes that make me feel p ro ud to be a graduate of tile top sch ool in the SUNY system.

Mcnh . ~great new moveinent in popular education is under way, the adult education movement. The movement has already attained such magnittule andgathered such momentum that it constitutes one ofthe foremost socialphenomena ofour time... In the stimulation of it, in the direction ofit, in the satisfaction ofits most important needs, the urban universities are destined to play a major role." - Samuel Capen, 1927-28 UB Annual Report \ D uRING t:he culy decades of this century, a great wave of interest in adult ed ucation swept through out nation's colleges and universities. Millard Ftllmore College (MFC) was a product of t:hat national movement. MFC's development is also a major chapter in t:he history of t:he Universiry at Buffiolo (UB), sinee some of UB's most imponant.culy development occurred in M FC. A time traveller to the culy 1920s would not have recognized t:he University at Buffiolo; it was nothing like the institution of today. Although UB had by that time already been in aistenee for seventy-five years, it still had no central campw and no full-time presiden't, and it consisted of only three scbool.r--mc:dicinc:, dentistry, and law-scattered across the city, plw a fledgling undetgraduate arts and sciences program whose future would have seemed uneer- Townoend Hall ta.in. In t:he fall of 1922 UB had, however, managed to recruit a remarkable:, nationally known leader, Or. Samud P. Capen, as iu first full-time chaneellor. Chancellor Capen brought to UB his aperience as president of the American Council of Education, which he had recently founded as an outgrowth of his work during World War I in coordinating contributionS to the war cffon by the nation's colleges and universities. This work gave h im a vision of wflat a progressive, state-of-the-art institution m ight be, as well as an un derstanding of what could be achieved if academics, industry, and communiry were brought together. A prominent featUre of stare-of-the-an institutions in the 1920s would have been an evening college. �Thus it should not be surprising that the Evening Session was the very first of the many new schools the new chancellor would establish at UB. To create this unit, Dr. Capen recruited the director of Nonhwestern University's evening business school, Clarence S. Marsh. By the f...ll of I 923, the UB Evening Session had begun operations at the old Townsend Hall, on the present site of the City Coun building on Niagara Circle. The lim paragraph of the Evening Session's first bulle- tin announced the mission of the new unit: "The University of Buffalo exisrs for service. For more than three-quaners of a century, in iu day sesssion it trained young men and women in the arcs and sciences and the professions. Now it seeks to extend irs sphere of usefulness by offering instruction in the Evening Session to youths and adulrs whose occupational necessities prevent their attendance in the day session of the university.• Public response to the new program was overwhelming. Although planning had envisioned a lim-year enrollment ofonly ~ut 400, pulr lie demand for the new evening classc:s was so enthusiastic thar 1071 srudenrs had enrolled by year's end. Enumerarors w.:re surprised and pleased to repon the significant number of adults who were college or normal school graduates (25 pe=:nt) or had previously attended college. The lim class was composed of aue "lifelong learners." The first evening classes included "practical• subjecrs, such as ac- counting. economics, and journalism. Because classroom space in Townsend Hall was limited, classes were also hdd in libraries and public meeting spaces throughout the city. UB faculty were promi- nent among insuuaors; however, because much of the course sub-ject matter was new to the unive!Sity, the Evening Session also turned frequently to adjunct faculty-"successful business men and journalists from the leading business enterprises of Buffalo"-to serve as instructors for these new classes. By I 925, demographic data gathered on evening srudenrs were surprisingly similar to those ofMFC today. The average age of evening srudencs was rwenty~scven years, six months, Libtory m Townlet'ld Hall ..... n.o.t By 1928, five years after its inception, the Evening Session had en· rolled more than 5,000 adults. From its initial classes in accounting and economics Dean Marsh had established the universiry's School of Management (in I 926) and had been appointed its first dean. Evening classc:s ranged well beyond day classes into an extraordinary number of new subjects, not only in journalism. the sciences, and humanities, but in technical subjecrs, including the beginnings of what would become the School.ofEngineering. The Evening Session also offered non-credit classes in a wide variety of topics, ranging from the "high technologies• of the moment (radio and aeronautics) to professional updating (grain grading and life insurance). It would soon begin to offer extension classes in Angola, Dunkirk, Jamestown, Niagara Falls, and other surrounding communities. Adult students would continue to leave lasting impressions on their faculty. Chancdlor Capen said of the Evening Session: "Its srudents an; drawn from all economic classes and all social groups. They come; they come back; their number increases at an embarrassing rate. The university has no more enthusiastic members, The grand within a range of seventeen · to seventy-one. More than half were concurrently employed in business. Ftfty-six percent were men, 44 percent women. Interestingly, faculty meetings of the times recorded by now long-familiar observatioru as to what made adulrs both especially challenging and especially rewarding to teach. Dean MaiSh reponed to the chancdlor: "These srudenrs, having more social experience and many of them holding rather responsible positioru, enterain a wholc:somdy critical attitude toward their instructors. They are quick and frank to ptaise one )Vbose knowledge and experience they deem adequate, and equally prompt to express dissatisfaction if an instructor seems to lack necessary qualification." no more loyal supponers. Some of its most brilliant srudents arc: in evening classes. Moreover, the eager devotion to learning experiment of Millard Fillmore College has succeeded because its students "truly wanted to be there. " AL111t:n+~ Also in 1925, DcanM=h,suppottedbyagrant from the Carnegie Corporation ofNew York, directed a survey of adult education for tbeCityofBuf121o. This srudy bore the charaa:eristic markings of Samud Capen's statistical srudies for the American Council of Education and rdleaed his inteic:st in calling upon all of the community's resources; particularly those of industty and the profc:ssioru, as well as cui rural and educational instirutioru. This imponant work-one of the first of its kind conducted in the United States-became a landmark contribution to the literarure of adult education. Published under the tide "Adult Education in a Community," the survey reponed the rematkable proliferation o( adult education throughout the City of Buffalo. It showed multirudes ofbusincss, civic, and culrural groups already activdy engaged in adult education and it offered, for the first time, a detailed picture of the demographics, background, and motivation of adult srudenrs. The published repon had two noteworthy results: It gave the uni· versity "a definite formulation of the desirable devdopment of the university's offerings in the fidd of adult education,• and it attracted wide attention throughout the country as the first comprehensive attempt by a community to analyze its adult education problems and to plan for their solution. and che high levd of attainment of the majority of evening classes have proved a tonic to the whole institution. " In I 933, Dean Marsh ac:Cepted a position in the New Deal as director of education for the CCC Camps, where he proposed such novel undenakings as courses by radio and srudent-initiated learning. Under the leader· ship of dean Uwis A. Froman (I 934-1 948) and dean John A Beane (1948-1952), the development of certificate programs and associate's and bachdor's degree programs became a priority. In I 937, the Evening Session was renamed Millard Fillmore College, in honor of the university's first chancellor. Evening enrollment continued to increase , exceeding 3,000 per semester by the' early 1940s-more than twice the enrollment in undergraduate day programs. The Division of Nurses Training, the School of Education, and the School of Social Work were established first as depanmenrs in .Millard Fillmore College, continuing th e college's role as incubator for UB's professional schools. In I 953, Millard Fillmore College moved from its downtown base on Niagara Square to the Main Street campus. Concerns that student access might be adversdy affi:cted by this displacement from the hean of Buf. falo to the outskirts were allayed as enrollment continued to grow. , . . . . , . . . . . SUllY When the University at Buffalo joined the State University of New York (SUNY) system in I 962, Millard Fillmore College acquired new missions and reduced ruition rates that attracted nren larger audiences. Backed by the resources of the SUNY system, MFC began a massive expansion, parallding the expansion of UB itself. and wdcomed the new state charge for continuing education, as stated in the SUNY Master Plan, to provide "programs for persons who wish to keep abreast of the latest developmentS in chci.r field, community service ro assist commu · nities in dfons to solve their problems, and culrural enrichment for the intellectual and aesthetic growth of the people of New York State." �.......

MFC supported extension programs in Rochester for the School of Social Work and the School of Infonnarion and Library Srudics, as well as numerous contract programs for the School of Engineering, including a program in nuclear technology for the New York Scare Power Authority. In the 1990s, Millard Ftllmore College operated as "UB at Nire.• Irs primary emphasis remained evening programs for students who could nor attend the university during the day; illCJClSingly, howev<:r, irs counes wac popub.ted by day-school students who found ir more convenient ro anend the evening session. MFC served the universiry day student as it had served the adult nontraditional student: with arts and sciences courses and degrees, and professional school degree programs in engineering, m=agemenr, and architecture. Nontraditional as well as traditional day students enrolled in MFC's array of for-credit a:rtificare programs. R11p1 ue·, North Compu' c 1979 The new certificate studies did nor dispb.ce MFC's core programs, which remained bachelor's and associate's degree programs in the arts and sci~nccs and the professions. Enrollritem in management and nursing degree programs, for example, remained as strong as when these schools had begun as depanments in MFC. Millard Fillmore College remained one of rhe few evening colleges nationally ro offer professionally accredited degrees in engineeering, as well as the only universiry-based evening coUege ro offer evening srudy toward a bachdor's degree in architecture. 5tlldeM S......,t .... s.wlces Adult educators had long known that the experience of raking one course might have as great an impact on an adult's life as completion of a full degree program. MFC's admission policy had long been based on this insight. To make education accessible to the uue "lifelong learner" -the occasional student-in the mid-1970s MFC rededicated itself to making the enrollment process as simple and nearly invisible as possible through drop-in advisement periods, one-stop admission , and benc:r program articulation . MFC also refocused its srudc:m suppon programs to address other obstacles faced by adults trying ro reenter college. Primary among these was a lack of scholarships, which were readily available to younger full -rime studenu but nor ro aduh parr-rime stu- dents. As the economy of Buffalo weakened , so did the availabiliry of employee tuition benefits . Fewer MFC students would be veterans; more would be women, often single parents. Underem ployment, and temporary and pan-rime employment, became common. Surveys conducted during the 1990s revealed the startling information that significant numbers ofMFC nudenrs age rhirry and older had family incomes barely above-and often, below-the poverty level. These problems would be amplified when SUNY tuition and fees suddenly doubled. In response, MFC lobbied extensively for "parr-rime TAP," and when New York State created this new financial aid program, MFC developed outreach efforts to encourage students to rake advantage of rhe new resource. Jr also introduced a program to support aduh minorities (ESTEEM}, free tutorials in mathematics and com puting. and courses in critical thinking. The evening student as sociation conducted very popular weekend career development workshops (dubbed "The Saturday Express}. A data-processing dub .was organized, and a gallery for exhibiting paintings by • at. ... n. .... •r•••• lr • I c.... The 1990s saw the educational landscape of BuiF..lo and Western New York continue ro change. paralleling regional economic c:lungcs. Eruollmenr in MFC reflected declines in local popub.tion, our-migration ofbusinesses, and illCJClSing competition among local collega for nontraditional working adults. But changing rimes also brought positive c:lungcs in Millard Ftllmore College- With the advent of computer> and other efficiencies, adminiscrarive and student services in MFC became more convenient. The universiry introduced irs touch-tone tdephone registration system BIRD (for Billing. Inquiry, R=rds, and Drop/Add}, and irs automated srudent academic information reaieval system DARS (for ~ Audit Reponing System}. When dean George Lopos arrived in 1995, MFC rook a leadership role in developing UB's Distana: Learning Program. The new dean reintroduced PBS tdecounes on a= cabk television systems. MFC created a Dist:tna: Learning Program ream and began using two fiberoptic distance learning sy=ms for our=ch education via ~ve interactive video tranSmission_ MFC also entered the world of the Internet with online counes and certificate programs. The night school of the early 1920s has begun to yield ro a more robust and flexible education-<ldivay system emphasizing aro:ss to the wider universiry. By combining traditional classroom in.strtfrion with distana: learning technology to deliver nontraditional academic programs, Millard Ftllmore College is positioning itself for a new role as the universicy moves imo thenar millenniwn. .............. ~..__.. Anyone who examines the history of Millard Ftllmore College cannot help bur be srruck by ~ kind of awe that each suaxeding generation has a pressed toward adult srudenrs. lr is as if each generation fcds itself the first to discovtt that adults do take their studies seriously and expect all others ro do the same, that they have no difficulry competing academically with younger students, and that they make asron4hing sacrifia:s to rerum to school. Comments by faculry attending MFC reaching-effectiveness seminan in the 1990s mirror minutes of MFC faculry meeting. seventy )'<a" earlier. praising adults for their eagerness to participate in class discussion, analyzing why the experiena: that adults bring to class makes reaching them both more challenging and more rewarding. Perhaps the reason for each generation's new astonishment at what irs predecessors undemood well is that the commitment to learning that adult srudenrs demonstrate is a truly remarbble phenomenon. Ir is difficult not to be astonished when one observes hundreds of adults penisring through ten ro fifteen ycrs of part-time srudy ro complete a degree, returning again and again ro campuses that were nor designed for them and where they might well fix! out of place. Indeed, the grand experiment of Millard Fillmore College has succeeded because, as is often said, its students "truly wan red robe there." Equally true is that ir has succeeded because most of those associated with MFC "have wanted robe there"~h for different reasons and evening an students was created. CLEP r~sring and credit for experiemial learning programs were introduced ro help shorten the time needed to earn a degree. often without much awareness of what those diffc:rem reasons might Some new programs were offered at no charge. Under a SUNY associations contributing time and energy in their quest to upgrade initiative rhar MFC implemented in the mid - 1970s, senior citizens could enroll for fr~ in any UB undergraduate class on a spaceavailable basis. Soon hundreds of seniors would enroll, bringing further diversity to classes throughout the university. Later, as tht" their communities, academic departments seeking reaching experi- closingofBerh.lehem Steel and irs related industries loomed, MFC responded by offering speciaJ classes ar no cost ro rhose lefT with out employment. Acada•lc: ........._ ..... o-alap••nt Millard Fillmore College continued ro play an active role in planning and devdopment activities for universiry schools and depanmenrs.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Researchers in the Center of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR) are being awarded a gnmt from the Nationallnstitute of Justice (Nll) to develop computer-assisted, handwriting-analysis tools for forensic applications. The new tools will for the first forcement investigators quantitative methods for analyzing handwriting in an effort to identify writers of documents who also may be suspects in criminal cases. CEDAR is the largest research center in the world devoted to developing new technol(>gies that can recognize and read human hand writing. In the United States, il is the only center in a universi ty where researchers in artificial intelligence are applying pattern-recognition techniques to the problem of reading human handwriting. For more than lOyears.CEDAR's largest research project has been developing and refining the software now used by the U.S. Postal Service to read and interpret handwritten addresses on envelopes. CEDAR researchers continue to refine and improve it for the USPS, as well as for Australia Post, which also has adopted the CEDAR system. That expertise att:r.lcted the attention of the National Institute of Justice, which invited CEDAR to compete for this grant. Ironically, according to Sargur Srihari, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the UB Department of Computer Science and Engineering and director of CEDAR, the Nl) project requires rl'Se'3rchers to look at human handwriting from a diff~rent perspective than that required by the Postal Service project. "Previously. \.YC never were interested in who the author was." said Srihari. "The main focus of our Handwritten Address Interpretation system W1IS always to say, •What is common or average about this handwritten address,' not 'What is special.' But with this project, we will be saying, 'What is special about thisr~ Current efforts to analyze hu man handwriting in criminal or civil cases have involved obtaining samples of writing from potential suspects or witnesses and then comparing them with the writing in the· document in question.

In another high -profile investigation. Monica Lewinsky, accord ing to the Starr Report, also was made to submi t sam ples of her writing for analysts to compare with handwritten notes found during th e investigation by the Office of The Independent Coun sel.

On April 26-28; both technical and nontechnical issues of thi s quiet revolution will be tJPlored in "Building for the Future: Sustainable Building Design and Construction Training Workshop." Sponsored by t1B and the New York State Energy Research and Devdopment Authority (NYSERDA), it will be held in the Center for Tomorrow on the North Campus. Geared toward a broad audi ence, the conference will be useful for professionals in the field, such as architects, designers. planners, engineers, developers, builders and building code officials, as well Natlonll experts to be fulured One of the first conferences of its kind in the state.

The President's Review Board at UB is working on revising its po.licies to better recognize faculty members' public-service activities (See related story, page 6). Ellis and Lieberman discussed the importance of a wdl-developed dossier and provided outlines for organizing a dossier, including bow to document effectively the scholarship of teaching. research and public-service activities. ,.A welldeveloped dossier makes the process so much easier and cleaner, and gives the faculty member a much fairer assessment," noted Ellis. In response to participants' inquiries, Ellis and Lieberman explained that by recognizing public-service activities as scholarthip, such activities will not be considered as replacements for traWtional scholarship activities when a fiiculty member is evaluated for promotion or tenure, but rafher 'wiU enhance a faculty member's dossier and may offer a slight advantage in the process.

Ingram Micro, Protective Closures Company and life Technologies, Inc., who are using the funds for capital improvements, skill upgrades for existing employees and stra>gthening the quality of the company's internal trainers and training programs. The $38,130 training grant awarded to Buffalo China is allowing the company to compete more effectively in the tableware industry by providing training initiatives for management and skilled-trades employees in ,the wake of an incentive provided by the state that prompted Oneida Ltd. to consolidate its distribution at Buffalo China. The $169,783 JOBS Now training grant awarded to Ingram Micro is enabling the company to strengthen its internal tr.iining program through facilities expansion and trainer certification programs. Life Technologies, Inc., which recently revolutionized its world wide distribution system by centralizing its order-entry operations at its Grand Island facility, will be able to successfully implement the new process by using the $49,952 grant to train customer-ser· viCe and manufacturing employees.

Using an animal model, researchers found that treating the inner ear with leupeptin before exposure to high-levd noise, comparable to a jet engine, reduced the loss of sensory hair oells by 60 pereenL Hair cdls convert sound waves into dectrical impulses that are sent to the brain. Ltupcptin, however, did not protect against the damaging effec ts of th.e anti -can cer drug carboplatin that can cause deafness in treated patients. Results of the study, lead by Ri chard ). Salvi, professor of communicative disorders and sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences and co-director of the center, ap· pear in the current issue (Vol. 10, No. 4) of Neurpfleport. "The results are very exciting for two reasons," Salvi said ... First, they provide d ues to the cdlular events that lead to sensory-cell death in the inner ear. Second, they suggest a potential drug-therapy approach to protecting the ea r against sound damage." Salvi, his colleagues at UB, and collaborators Alfred Stracher and Abraham Shulman, both at the SUNY Health Science Center at Brnoldyn, have been investigating ways to protect the auditory system from darnajje via noise and ototoxic drugs. common causes of deafuess in Western societies. ,. .......... _,. adllng- dMJ ...... . ,..._... ....., .... musc ular 3trophy in ca ses o f trauma o r geneti c di so rders ." Stracher noted. Salvi and oolleagues set out to de- termine if leupeptin also could protect the sensory hair cells in the ear from noise and ototoxic drugs such as carboplatin-knowing that such insults cause an in crease in caJpains-and thus prevent hearing loss. RKHAIIO SALVI controls. of aU animals Results served from the noise exposure study showed massive loss of hair cells in the ears not treated with leupeptin, while only a few hair cells were missing in the treated ear. This study was based on tbe knowledge that, in many cases. degeneration of nerve function is caused by a cascade of events, beginning with a trauma that induces an increase of calcium in nerve ceUs. Excess calcium, in turn, increases the levd of enzymes called caJpains, which promote the breakdown of proteins and other faaors critical to nerve functioning.

The higher-fat diet, achieved by adding peanuts to the athletes' normal diet, had no effect on weight, percentage of body fat, heart rate or blood pressure, findings showed. ' Peter). Horvath, associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, Ex.ercise and Nutrition Sciences in the School of Health Related Professions, will present the study on Monday at the annual meeting of.lhe Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biologybeing held in Washington, D.C.

" Women are better fat metabolizers than men. Our earlier diewystudies with male and female competitive runners showed thai while both improved their performance on a higher-fat diet, women benefited more than me:n. One im plication of these findings is that di etary m:omme:ndations for women athletes should be different from men's," he said The study involved nine female collegiate so=r players who ate three diets in a randomized crossover design-their normal diet, normal diet plus 41 5 calories of oil-roasted peanuts per day, or normal diet plus an equal amount of extra calories from carbohydrate-rich energy bars. The women consumed each diet for seven days during the luteal phase (the second half) of the menstrual cycle, when a woman's ability to mrubolize fat is greatest, Horvath said. Carbohydrate intake was highest-3 percent of total caloriesduring the energy-bar diet. and lowest 51 perce.nt~uring the peanut diet. Fat was highest during the peanut diet-35 percent-versus 24 percent on the energy-bar d1et.

Coty died April 3 in her North Tonawanda home after a 4- 1/2 year battJe against breast cancer. Coty, who held a bachelor's degree in biology and master's degrees in library science and education from UBt Joined th e earthquake center as an information specialist in 1987 and .. tablished the information service, along with iu first manager, Jim Webster. She became manager in I 989. In I 993, she received the Sl!NY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Profasional Service. The author of numerous artides on earthquake information, library managemen and media studies, she was a member of 1M advisory oomrnittee of thf ational Information Service for Earthquake Engineering at the U · of California at Berkeley and served as secmary of the Upstate New Yor chapter of the Special J..ibraries Association. Before joining CEER, she was administrator of special projects for the Western ew York Library Resources Co uncil and earlier served as associate director/associate Jjbrarian in the UB Science and Engineering Library. Coty was a local and national advocate for breast cancer research. She founded the Breast Cancer Discussion and Support Group of the Tonawandas and in 1997, received the annual survivors' award o f the American Ca ncer Society of Erie County. Dorothy Tao, acting manager of information services at the earthquake center, noted that Coty was ..a leader in our field ... highly respected by researchers and engineers practicing worldwide. "She was truly heroic in her fight (against cancer), seeking out experimental lreatments and researching all viable possibilities. She applied her talents in advocacy 1.0 her own cause and wrote a letter to Hillary Clinton that Effectively changed the rules for patients in expe rimental treatments after clinical trials have begun." Robert W. Schultz, 62, clinical assistant professor of medicine A memorl•l service was held Ma{ch 30 in Westminster Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, for Robert W. Schultz, 62, a clinicial assistant professor in the Department of Medicine who died Marc::b 27 in his home in Amherst after a long battle with cancer. Schultz, a graduate of the UB medical school and a past president of the VB MeC:tical Alumni Association, had sen"'d on the faculty at UB since 1970. He maintained a private practice in internal medicine. renal di\ease and hypertension, and had published numerous papers in his SOM.n areas of speciaJ ty. Schultz served as chief of nephrology at Millard Fillmore Hospital and was a consultant in nephrology for Sisters Hospital, Kenmore Mercy Hospital and DeGraff Memorial Hospital. Instrumental in the development of Western New York's firs t outpatient dialysis center, he also founded the High Blood Prasure Control Program of Western New York. A past president and board member of the Western ~ew York chapter of the American Heart Association (AHA), he served on the board of directors of the New York State affiliate of the AHA. In 1984, he: was named Man of the Year for the AHA's Western New York chapter for his dedication and support in the tight against heart disease. Schultz was a member of the American Col1ege of Physicians, the American Society of Nephrology, the International Society of Nephrology and the 4n>erican Sociery for Artificial Internal Organs. He was a member of the National Kidney Foundation, serving on the Western New York board of directors and eucutive committee. In I 975, he received the organization's Distinguished Service Award.

But 1M dlair of the Committee on Public Service, briefing manbera of the senate's executive committee on April 7, said his pand round the document's use of the tenn "prof..sional Service" to be oonfusing, and suggested the KCtioo addrasing the "service" portion of UB's tripartite rnission---<:tJrreDtly titled "professional service".-.be titled simply "service," or "public, professional and university/oommunity service" to better clarify 1M various dimensions Of service. Michael Frisch, oommittee chair and professor of history and American studies, noted that the d~ent uses the term "professional service" in two different senses: service to one's profession and service by a professional. He recommeoded that the term "public service" refer to applied scholarship, while "professional service" be identified as work to one's profession. such as editorial or referee work on journals, organizing professional meetings or holding office in pro(essional associations. Frisch said that no one f¢5 that service and mearch, as discrete entities, will be seen as "parallel in any important sense, ct:rtainJy notin tenure decisions and not even at associate prof...orial promotional levels." But the aim of tht committee, he said, is to make "legible ... the kind of scholarship and tbe kind of work that people do that often doesn't fit comfortably into any of these baskeu (UB's three missions of research, service and teaching).

Frisch pointed out that the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Urban Affairs has published a compendium of numerous public-service projects conducted by faculty memben. Samuel Schack, professor of mathematics, noted that faculty members do not have nearly as many exampi.S of public service as tbey do of research. Tht public-service committee could provide a valuable service for the faculty and the PRB by roUecting a broadly based list. of publicservice projects from various sectors of the univtnity that arose out of scholarly activity. This would give faculty members •a sense of what you're talking al>out," Schack said, adding that the concept "becomes ooncrete through exampl..." Denrtis Malone, SUNY Distinguished Service Pmf...or in the Department of Electrical Engineering, stressed that univmity service is not necessarily discipline- related, while public service is related to discipline. Moreover, he said, there isjl difference between volunteerism and work that is done as a result of one's discipline. -what we're talking about, I think. art thinp you do as a result of your discipline.• Mitdldl Harwitt,....,.,.professor of economia, sugated that some service wodt. ouch u editing a joumol, can raJIIII'IIli)'Wheft from poper-shuflliDa to "IOIIItlhing rally hard anddeeplyinvolwd in raemil. "Aod that's where the romplicatinn arises. We don't want to make such simple, dear distinctions between Pot A and Pot B when, in fact, even what we dearly think of as u:rvice to the university is not just a use of time," he said, adding that it may not be so simp!.: to categoriu activities. Frisch said the real issue to be considered is not tbe abstract one of "bow do we rome up witb a universal definition (of public service), but the very real one of which damples are going to end up counting before the PRB." He pointed out that numerous "reSponses to phone calls• from members of the oommunity-socalled u:rvice to the public-will not count much toward tenure in an otherwise weak case.

America's~~Xlep!anee ofThomas Jefferson's and Ben- jamin Franklin's view of public education as nea:ssary to nurture an informed. politically responsible public has long justified public support of scbools. Expansion of that support to institutions of higher learning was a natural extension. The place of publicly supp<>rtO.I univ<i.ities among democratic institutions was aptly described in the 1984 Master Plan of our own unM:nity. •...public higher education is directly a.nswemble to the society at l:lrg._ Supported by public funds. it has a mandate to deploy its resources in pursuit of the public.good.lnstruction and research are part of the process; so is the function once called outreach, and = t l y known as public service." Over the years, taxpayers provided a wealth of resources to public universities. Historically, however, it is unclear how "the public good," in pursuit of which those resources were to be deployed, was defined and by whom. Most taxpayers hold the view, perhaps unrealistically, that, besides developing competencies that will enable students to be productive members of society, higher education also should be an experience that prepares them for the ethical, . social and political responsibilities of adulthood. Unfortunately, the public 6naliy has come to realize that the education of students ·is.not a top priority among our institutions, that universities p t research ahead of teaching. It is no secret that If-promoting and often esoteric research rejects, rather than teaching, occupy the time of any of the highest-paid fuculty. Diminishing financial support is the predictable r nse of a "disillusioned public. The semblance of a ublic mission is further eroded when reduced state bsidies result in tnmsf~rs of tuition increases fro m ayers to students. If judgment d~y is here for tax-supported universities, how are they meeting the need for pub- -tt.,., lie accountability? Do public universities have dearly articulated mis.sioos with well-understood goals and objectives that provide a rationale for making painful choices, while assuring the public the "quid pro quo" defined in their master plans? It is not that administrators do not regularly produce documents that purport to spell out their educational objectives. It is their unwillingness to state those objectives with enough specificity and practicality that they might be held accountable for not achieving them that is the problem. How many public universities evidence the will or political courage to use budget situations as opportunities fur improving educational quality by targeting certain units for growth and others for retrenchment? An unwillingness to identify the educational activities of most importance to do weli makes it possible t<? only dilute dwindling resources by trying to do some of everything. Finding ways to. enhance and protect excellence in core activities while operating at ihe cutting edge of change demands extraordinary leadership. Perhaps. it is time to reconsider the criteria on which public universities are judged to be "great." Conspicuous ronsumption of research support in the absence of quality teaching and community service carries little weight among those judging the cost-benefits of public support of higher education. Difficult times provide exceptional opportunities for enlightened stewards to emphasize the populist service responsibilities of publicly supported universities and define the "public good," in pursuit of which their resources arc to be deployed. Such an accomplishment would go a long way toward regaining public confidence and rationalizing the annual budget decision process. To do less is to hasten the pr-ivatization of public higher education and make the term .. public uni versity'" an oxymoron. A.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He has won awards for his o ut standing coverage of the Persian Gulf War, the Clinton administration and the tragic Oklahoma C ity bombing.

Individual campus Faculty Senates and UUP chapters have been asked to endorse the statement by tomorrow. A formal notification of the vote of no confidence will be announced publicly in Albany on April 20, and faculty members across the state are being asked to wear black armbands that day to protest the trustees' actions. · e statcment.. which the SUNY ulty Senale and UUP have c led a "defining moment" for , cites numerous instances whe the board of trustees has .. faile in its responsibi lities." education, and damaging to its rq>utation and star><tq in the academic commwlity," the J1l<aSUn< states. "We ~ this board of trustees has also disregarded the public's support for public higher education in the Stmof New York.

He said that although support of the statement mizht be interpreted by some as opposition to a genc:raleducation rurriculum-when in fact UB is strongly committed to genc:ral education--he said be objected to the way in which the board ignored SUNY Senate President Vincent Aato's attempts to express his views at the Dec. 15 meeiingat which trustees voted to impose the curriculum.

Changes in the health<are system have made it dil!irult for university hospitals to operate profitably, and many universities art "examining the wisdom" of operating these hospitals, he said. State budget late? It may not be all bad By CHIIISTlM VIDAL News Sefvk~ Editor T HE April! budget dead - line has come and gone in Albany for the 15th year in a row, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, accord ing to Janet Pcnksa, associate vice president for university services. Missing the deadline will give UB more time to pursue its agenda with legislators, Penksa told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at its March 31 meeting. She outlined the university's advocacy efforts in Albany, which,she said, so &r have met "with some su=." Penksa also offered insight into the budget proc<ss based on her experience as a former member of the legislature's prof=ional staff responSible for preparation of the budget. "It looks like i~s going to be along budget season in Albany,7 she said. Part of the reason for the delay in passing the state budget is the different political philosophies among the governor, senate and assembly, she noted "Everyone agrees there is a state (budtl<l! surplus." Penksa said. But the big question is, how much of a surplus is there, and how should the funds be allocated?The governor, senate and assembly do not agree on the amount of the surplus, "and you can't negotiate a budget until you know what the number is," she said. There also is disagreement over how to use the surplus. The governor and senate are advising fiscal the sena t ~ and governor's office. In generaJ. we're arguing for full bas<' restoration,"' Penks.a said. Both senate and assembly pro - prudence; the assembly takes a less- Tuition Assistance Program and provide funding for new faculry lines in science and technology. Of concern is a measure that conservative approach, she noted. '" The issue is, how much to spend and how much to save." The issue also is how much to spend on higher education. Under the executive budget propt>sed by Gov. Pataki, funding for SUNY took a tremendous hit, and "the total is $200 million to bring higher education home,n Penksa said, with UB's share of the shonfall estimated at S6 million. While both legislative bodies would restore SUNY funding, the senate's proposal falls more than S II million sho~ of full restoration. The assembly's recommendation, in ad dition to fuU restoration , would in - crease funding for higher education by more than $25 million. In terms of base costs, the senate's and the assembly's recommendations both would restore funding for negotiated salary in=ases. The assembly's proposal also would restore funds to cover inllation and revenue loss. although the senate's recommendation does no~ a shortfall of$19.7 million. u.w~·re now focusing efforts on posals would restore funding for the would stretch funding for the fiveyear capital plan into a sixth year. a move that would amount .. essen tially to a 20 percent cut" in capital funding for 1999-2000, Penksa said. Other legislative recommenda - tions,she said. include senate proposals to establish a working group to evaluate the administrative and financialstatusoftheSUNY Rfscarch Foundation_ to establish a ~ggroup to review flexibility issues and the status of revenues at SUNY teaching hosprtalsand to create a newOfli<rofHigher Education and Technology. 3 BrieDy Symposium to focus on the role of public service in promotion, tenure process The Offke of Publk Seni<e and Urban Affaln •nd the Fac. ulty Senate Committee on Public Service will spo nso r the sec · ond annual "Symposium on Publi c Service: Assessi ng Applied Scholarship for Promotion and Tenure" from 2-4 p.m. Mo nday m 250 Baird Hall on the North Campus.

Between SOOand 600 university accounts will be affected by the new fee, according to Leonard Snyder, senior associate vice president in the Office of the Controller. In the past, each of the units administering those funds- !FR. Re: search Foundation, UBF and FSAhad its own set ofpolicies and guidelines, and the fees fo< administering those accounts also varied. "We came to the conclusion that the savings by having a uniform policy would outweigh the costs,• said Susan Ham!en, associate professor of accounting and law, and chair of the Faculty Senate Bud- get Priorities Committee. Each ofthe units dwgingadministrative fees operated under its own set of policies and guidelines and, as a result, there was no consistency in rates, aemptions or waivers. In · addition, each unit charged its own administrative fee and, in the case of 1PR accounts, a maintenanceand-operation fee also was charged. 1FR policies were established by SUNY and provided no denbility at the ~mpus level for setting rates, exemptions or waivers, and a sicnificant portion of the IFR overbeod UICSmlent was not retained on campus. But since jan. 1, each campus has been allowed to~itsown!FR policy and to retain all the fees generated, opening tbc door for UB to develop a campus policy and guidelines regarding a uniform service fee to replace the I)1Yriad administrative and maintenance-and-qpe:ration fees that have been in effect. The General University Service Fee will be charged on all funds · generated through the use of university faculty or staff time, excluding sponsored programs. and/ or the use of university facilities. Exemptions include accounts funded by OYerbcad revenue, such as institutional accounts that support various uniYenity educational, researc:b, public servia, administrative and suppon functions. Also exempt are sponsored-program activity adrnini#Ored by the Research FoUDdation and UBF, as well as accounts where the aervice fee is recovered through the RF qr UBF indirect cost rate.

But Robert Boier, pror..ororora1 diagnostic sciences and chair of the senate's Research and Creative 111=tivity Committee, W<>D<Iered if the new service fee would makr things easier for faculty, or put up barriin. The new fee certainly should not put up barrien, Snyder replied, noting that it is hoped that admin· istration of the fee will be more timely and the criteria will be bcrter clarified. Calling it •a better system than the one it's replacing." Baier added that enforcement of the new fee's criteria will be aitiaJ to its sue- cas. According to a memorandum issued Dec. 7 by Senior Vice President Robert J. Wagner, "implementing a unjform service fee...will both simplify policies and procedures, and ensure a consistent cost of doing business. The service fee rateof7 percent is reasonable and will result in lower fees for most programs. It is also expected that this lower rate will be an incentive to expand entrepreneurial activity.• To ease the transition to the new system, a campus-wide committee chaired by K.evin Seitz, associate vice president and controller, has been set up to guide the estal>lisbment, iinplementation and monitoring of the fee, Snyder said. . �~l1111Vi.lkZ7 Drug seen as effective for ADHD .•StUdies show .,LOIS_ - .

News SeMces Editor N OilNGthattbc fa<Uity Senate is responsible for setting the admissions criteria recommended in the university's recruitment materials, Judith Adams-Volpe. director of Lockwood Library and a member ofthesenate'sAdmissionandRetention Committee, asked senators for input on proposed changes to language in UB's undergraduate catalog at the Faculty Senate Executive Committee's March 31 meetiog. The Admission and Retention Committee is recommending changes to statements in the undergraduate catalog dealing with academic preparation for admission, acceptance measurements. supplemental application infOrmation aod individualized admissions. The recommendations are being oonsidered in light of changes in secondary education, such as requiring high-school students to pass five Regen(s exams in prder to graduate, and the tJmd among high schools to no longer c:ala!late rank in class.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

These new stan· dard.s do focus more on the kinds of sk.iiJs and competencies students will need to have to succeed in the next century such as greater use of problem -solving strategies, ability to analyze and synthesize different so urces of information, etc. So, in that sense , they will result in better prepared students if they are prop erly implemented. It 's aJso the case that many more students can d o mo re challenging work than tht"y have been given previ o usly, but whether a.ll students can master these skills is still an open question. Unfo rtunately, the state decided to impl ement these new s tandard ~ and assessm ents before teache rs were sufficien tly prepared to cope with these cha nges. so I believe there will be a period where stu dents' performance will go down before it improves.

Jha~s the legacy camed on by Violet Newton, who has given an additional Sl million gift to the School of Phar· macy scholarship fund that she and her late husband, Cecil, began in 1995. The Newtons created the scholarship fund In gratitude for the out· standing education and trai ning that Newton, who died in 1996, received at UB that led to his successful business and professional career. Violet Newton's latest gift to The Cec il J. and Violet W. Newton Scholarship Fund brings the fund total to more than 12 .1 million dollars . She thinks of th e gift in terms of students helped rather than dollars given . 1"uition is so expensive, I am wholeheartedly in fa vor of scholarships to help students get through schoo l," she added . A banker by training, Violet Newton said she and her husband.J:re· ated their wealth together and they donated together. "When I am able, .. she said, .. , continue to give to ca uses we both cared about, because there is no such thing as having done your share." Wayne K. Anderson, dean of the pharmacy school , praised Violet Newton's continuing generosity. "She's quite a remarkab4e lady who has a strong feeling for US's pharmacy program and a passion for our students ... Anderson said she has met some of the scholarship recipients and was impressed with their character, ethics and behavior. He added that the students were equally charmed by Violet Newton and appreciative of her financial support. Anderson sai d scholarsh1ps have become mcreasingly •mportant for US 's pharmacy students be<:ause of the higher costs associated with 1_......, __ _ -~·,....- portant for teachers to know ~cho!:~r,.hip·, the switch from·a five~year to a six·year professio nal doctoral program. He explained that the switch was drMng one of the most dramatic changes that the industry has seen, because it will produce graduates who spend far more time on patient·care management than they will on dispensing drugs. In addition, student5 in the Pharm .D. program will specialize in one of four areas: ambulatory, which is community pharmacy practice; clini· cal, primari ly hospital practice; industrial, which involves woridng with clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry; and research, involving drug discovery and analysis, qua lity control and research in both indus· trial and academic settings. The Newton scholarship fund currently provides scholarships for about 40 pharmacy students. With this additional gift. Anderson said even more students should receive scholarships, which are awarded for both need and merit. A 1928 graduate of the US pharmacy school, Cecil Newton spent most of his career with the Walgreen Co. as a phannadst and store manager from 1933· 78. His only time away from the company was when he served in the Special Brigade of the 5.3.2'-1 Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment of the U.S. Army from 1941-45.

How do you make sure other people can't hack into it?" The university spent nearly two years designing SOAR's encryption system, and its level of protection exceeds that used at most other colleges and universities that offer similar Web access. Freshmen entering the university in the Pall 1999"semester will register via SOAR this summer during orien tation. "Freshmen will be taught carefully in special sessions toknowwhere(SOAR) is. They will be registering for classes for the first time on the Wd:J," said Eck, who noted that offering computer-based .. Online registration is an important contribution t'o making this a more modern and wirM campus." Registration via the Web abo re- fleets incoming students' increasing computer aptitude. Each successive class of students is more technologically aware than those that preceded i~ Ed< noted For example, she said, although the Degree Audit R<cord ing System (DARS), the univtrsity's automated reoords system, b.. been available sin"' 1995, it is students who enter<d UB in Fall 1998 who took to DARS most enthusiastically. It was a "'conOuence of forces" that prompted that enthusiasm, she explained. DARS reports previously had to be picked up in person in Capen HaU during a one-week period. The reports went online in August 1998, making them more readily availablt to students. "'Thosr students really wanl D~t's more convcruent to get. and they'r< actually reading it and sending email about it," sht said. "They want to be able to get a DARS report at 9:30at night because that's when they thought of it" I..ikewise, students tntering thr university next year are more tech· nologically savvy than their predea:ssors. This year, the Office of Admissions has received more email inquiries than it~ b.. in the pa51 from prospective students. "'For them, registering online will be the only type of registralion they'vt ever known," Eck said. Tha~s quite a statement, considering that just four years ago, students had to register for classes manually, sometime waiting in lines for hours just to drop or add a class to their schedule. Eck recalled watching students gathering at 8:30 a.m. to stand in line, "probably for at least a couple of hours," she said, in order to make schedule changes. UB offered its first alternative to manual registration-Touch-Tone Registration--in Jan~ 1995. .. We're trying to eijminate th e things that students used to have to go and stand in line fod! she said. The SOAR Web site also solicits feedback from students who hdve u:s ed the system, and so far, the response has been positive. The only negative reaction has been th e limited hours that srudents are able to use the system. Students can register for classes through SOAR from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. "'Students are used to having ac· cess to information on the Web 24 hours a day, seven days a week be· cause most sites are static." Eck said. But SOAR still needs human support. While a number of schoolssuch as Berkeley, the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers and the Uni · versity of Maryland-also offer Web-based registration, none that she knows of offers that service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. EY<'n expanding online registra lion to sevtn days a weelr. will require the university to think about its re· sou.rces in a new way, Eck noted. IREWG to salute women's scholarship .,.

In an impassioned commentary outlining a pattern ofdeliberate economic deprivation based on raq: that has occurred in the U.S. in recent decades, Henry Louis Taylor, Jr. noted that "fewer than 60 years ago bla~ and whites in this community shared residential space and attempt& to separate them f.Wed.

Sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, it was organized by Brenda Moore, associate professor of sociology. The event was the 38th in a series of discussions about racial affairs in America led by William E. Leftwich, Ill, deputy assistant U.S. secretary of defense for equal opportunity, in cities across the U.S. as part of the White House Initiative on Race. More than 40 individuals-including UB faculty members ~d staff, religious and community lead- ers a,;d political figures-participated in panel discussions,speakiqg ofamoems about racism,tthnocentrism, class conflic:t, cuJttiral repre· sentation, sexism and the class system that much of America denies. iJB !'resident William R. Greiner told the 300 participant&, "The problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line," quoting the distinguished American soci ologist and activist. W.E.B. DuBois, author of the pioneering 1903 work, "The SouLs of Black Folks." Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello, who has promoted dialogue across racial and ethnic divides, beginning with his 1998 initiative, Roll Call Against Racism, promised that his administration will develop policies and programs to strengthen all communities and to help bridge the racial gap. Panelist Rodney Appleby of Buffalo State College noted that "a discussion on race is not really discussion of race and color, but discussion of character. If one person uses opportunistic attitudes to take advantage of others, we can't legislate against it. It is character that has to change." Frank Mesiab, longtime president of the Buffalo Olapter of the National Association for the Ad - vancement of Colored People agreed, noting, "Children learn to hate. We need to know what it is in this society that produces this hate in them. It isn't enough to know it's there. Americans must-they must dig out its roots if we are ever to~ a united people." Mesiah said racism can be quashed. "'We learned to hate the Germans and then we learned to hate the Russians and now we've learned to lave the Russians," he said. "and if there was a serious UB departments and called the university's public radio station, WBFO, to task for failing to "represent and serve the diverse community of which they are a part."

In 1998, the state-funded program awarded nearly $200,000 in grants ranging from $500 to $30,000 to more than 40 local companies that were able to add jobs. achieve standards certification and launch new products.

Several speakers. including Erie County Commissioner of Mental Health Ellen Grant-Bishop and Lana Benatovich, president of the National Conference for Community and Justice, encouraged pressure on corporations for indusion and advancement in the minority work force, to encourage them to give up some power in order to tap into the talent& and creativity of those who have a different perspective, other kindr of knowledge.

Holding on to the past is a refusal to gtow, to celebrate the inevitable change and to 'become' part of the new A)nerka. It's foolish, childish and wasteful." Andres Garcia, vice president of Kaleida Health for Wesl'side Community Health Services, cited UB as one local institution ~rife with racism." He cited the low number of women, Hispanics, blackl. Asians in retaining or creating manufuctur· ing and high -technology jobs, in creasing company productivi ty or sales and/or maintaining company facilities in New York State. Through the UB program and similar ones at the SUNY univer· si ty centers at Binghamton and Stony Brook, SPIR aims to bolster the state economy by promoting the transfer of knowledge from uni'fersity to industry and by pro· viding consu1tation, technical assis· tance, research faciHties and re · sources for industrial restructuring. Funded by New York State, the SPI R grants will cover up to 50 percent of a project's cost for uti · lizing faculty members, students and other technically trained per· sonnel and fees for using sop histicated research facilities , such as those available at UB.

The Divisio n o f Athletks raised the bar again on the annual Blue and White Club drive to raise funds for scholarships for athletes and once again cleared it with flying colors. The four-week drive netted $275,1 18, well i m -· over its $250,000 goal. Making the feat even more pressive was the fact that this year's goal was $50,000 more than last year's and was raised in two weeks less than previous drives. Andy Hurley, athletics director of development, said final num bers for the drive may exCC'ed $300,000. To put the achievement in perspective, the drive's goal in its first year-just four years agowas S I 00,000. "The success of this drive hmges on the work of our volunteers and team leaders and, needless co say, they put forth a maximum effort and helped us reach a significant goal in the growth of our athletic program," said Hurley...All of our athletes and coaches owe a debt of gratitude to the unselfishness and dedication of these vol · unteers." Gina Collora, president of Hunter Placement, lnc., who chairf'd the fund drive, was confident that the Western New York commu· nity would respond to the challenge. ..There wasn't an o unce of doubt in my heart that we wouldn 't reach our goal," said Collora, a UB grad who played women's basketball at the university... I was very excited for the volunteers and new team leaders who came to the plate and did a great job.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

East Asian governments had always believed that their probusiness stance in the past helped build some of the most competitive industries in the world (e.g., automobile and dectronics indus- try in japan, and shipbuilding in South Korea). 'They failed to account for the fact that without establishing strong checks and balances through institution-building, the success of their model depends on a continued flow of hon est and competent bureauc rats.

It 's not , Lewis explained, that designers arc at war with one another. It 's just that the whole design · process for aircraft, cars, buildings, copiers or any large-scale system is so co mplex, and so many vari ables mu st be considered all at o nce, that arriving at an optimum process that will resuh in the best product is extremely difficult . .. In war, there's the issue of non cooperation in terms of the enemy," said Lewis. "I n design, t he parallel is isolation. Design teams are isola ted from the information they need, ei ther from other designers or design teams. They may have to assu mt a worst -case scenario and that can lead to suboptimal design.'' The goal is to create tools and methods that will help designers make the best trade -offs, situa tions where a change in one design parameter significantly affects o ne o r more design objectives, constraints or disciplines, such as structures or aerodynamics. While the basis for the research ;, to simulate design , processes math - ematically, lewis noted that there are undoubtedly some politics in - volved as well. " If we can get design teams to recognize the important trade-offs inher<nl in their design processes," he said, "they can stan to =cis< these trade-offs using rationaJ decision making; which will lead to better cooperation. Then we will he able to break through some barriers, which in practical lenns means breaking through some of the politics." At the same time, the project aims to provide desig·ne_rs with tools that will help them deal with uncertainty and to figure out which aspects of a project they can compromise on when they don't have all the necessary infOrmation.

Resulu of the research were presented yesterday in Orlando at the 39th Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology & Pr<vention by Joan Dom, assistant professor in the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. The NEHDP was a three-year, I m ul ti-center, randomized, clinicaJ tri al conducted in thr U.S. from 1976-79 to determine if participation in a stru ct ured exerciSt progra m imp roved lo ng-term survival of men who had suffered a heart anac.k. John P. Naughton, professor of m edicine and former dean of the medical school, di rectfii the initial study. Twenty years ago, prescribing exercise after a heart attack was considered risky because the pre- vailing wisdom called for rest. The NEHDP was designed to answer the- exerci~-or-no-exercise questi on. Darn completed the follow up a nalysis in 1998. " If yo u just compare the men who were assigned to an exercise program with men who weren't, there was no difference in long· term survival at the 19-year fol~w­ up." Dorn said ... But the men who improved their fitness during the three-year study did live longer, and the most likely way to improve fit - ness is through exercise." The explanation for this finding probably is due to contamination between study groups, Dom said. The men were assigned randomly to a structured ~rcise group or to a control group whose members were told to maintain their normal routines and not to l2U part in a regular exercise program during the trial. However, by the end of two years, 23 percent of the members of the exercise group reported they had stopped attcising, while 31 percent of the controls said they had begun exercising regularly, Dorn said. "The observed increases in litness probably reflect the men who were most diligent in actually perfo rming regular exercist," she noted. •Although we have no mea - sures of fitness after the three-yea r study period, the thought is that the men who actually exercised after a heart attack probably became more fit, were likely to stay with it and, consequently, Uved lo nger." The original trial involved 65 I men between the ag~ of 30 and 64 who had suffered a heart attack within eight weeks to three years of the trial's start in 1976. Before bei ng enrolled, and at every six months of the trial, participants received a phys ical examination and performed a multi -s tage , gntded exercise test on a treadmill to est imate oxygen uptake, an indication of fi tness, at djfferent lev els or stages of exertion. The high est stage comp leted and oxygen uptake at the end of the trial were designa ted as the participant's maximal physical work capaci ty. Darn and colleagues assessed mortality rates of all partiCipants until their death, or at three, five, 10, I Sa nd 19yearsafterthcotrial's completion. Results showed that at th ree years. exercisers had approxi mately a 30 percent lower risk of death than non-exercisers, but the benefit did not reach statisticaJ sig· nificance. This small, early benefit derived from a structured exercise program dissipated over time and had disappeared at 10 yea rs. On the other hand, those who increased their capacity to do work during the study period lowered their risk of death at em-y time period. Resulu showed that each in~ of one stage in work capacity reduced the risk of death by about I0 percent. regardless of which study group the men were assigned to or their initial level of fitness. "The in creased capacity to do physical work most likdy reflects the actual exercise performed during the trial," Dorn said. "' If this is the case, our results indicate that exercise performed at a level sufficient to increase physical work capacity as measured by ou r testing method may have long-term survival ben efits for heart -anack survivors." T he follow-up study was sup portt:d by a First Independent Re search Support in Transition Award from the National1 Heart , Lung and Blood Institut e. T he original trial was funded by th e Rehabilitation Serv ices Adminis tration of the then Department of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare .

Paper sheds new light on air pollution By £U.EH GOI.DIIAUM Nem Services Editor T INY aerosol par ticles in th e upper at mosphere may act like highly effi · cicnt chemical reactors, playing host to incredibly com plex reactions ihat can crea te carcinogenic by- products, even from the combination of fairly benign rt.'agents, according to a paper pub- lished Monday by UB chemists. The researchers discovered that si nce these particles o.r dusters can contain up to thousands o r even millions of molecules, they act ually may have an amplifying effect on the reactions, causing them to play a much larger role in polluting air than previously was understood. 11te work, reported in the cu rrent issue of the Journal of Chemical Physics, may give govern m ent and industry a belter handle on just how air pollution forms. ..

" For better or for worse, it drives most of what we do in terms ofbudget, in terms of programs. in tenns of our ultimate interests and repu tation to the outside world," he said. Failure to meet enrollment targets results in " fai rly draconian consequences." such as loss of state operating revenue and loss of revenue from the tWtion those missing stu- denl5 would have brought in, he said. Failure to make the overall 199899 enrollment targets will cost UB about $2.5 million - S 1.1 million in tuition revenue and $1.4 million in state tax support - "a very significant reduction," he said The deficit is due to declines in enrollment at the graduate and professional levels, "whid1 are significantly below (the targets ) in both the fall and the spring," he said, pointing out that this decline is pan of a nationwide trend and UB is not unique in this regard. He noted that the institution has spent nmch tim e and resources o n undergraduate education in order to increase student retention. in· eluding offering merit sc holar ships. providing honors programs and provid ing services designed to make life easier for stud ents, such as iinprovcd registration pro cedures and access to grades. Retaining students is particuJa rl y important , he stressed , beca use upper-division students are much mo re "financially valuable" to the in stitution, cspeciaUy because as many as 50 perce nt of entering fr eshmen ex press an inte rest in pursuing a graduate degree at UB. "We have an enormous oppor· tuni t y here. if we ca n capitalize upon it with the right programs, to move stud e nt s fro m und er· graduate programs into graduate programs," he said. Moreover, UB has room to grow, since the institution is at its low est enrollmen t in a number of years- as many as 3,000 to 4,000 fewer studen ts. "We must make the institution an attractive place for students to enter and enroll, at both the under· graduate and graduate levels. whilst we examine our priorities in the co ming decade and look toward reorganizing a number of programs that l think will set us on the track to where we will want to be in the 2 1st century," he concluded. In response to a question from De nnis Malon e, SUNY Distingu ished Se rvice Professor in the Depar tm ent of Elect rical Engi neering, Triggle sai d t here were several notable p rob lems in trying to deal with the decline in gradu ate enrollment: • Inadequate gradu ate stipends, particu larly in science and tech nology fie lds. UB does not have the resources to increase st ipends. and efforts to have the state legi s· lature include money in the bud· ge t for that purpose have been unsuccessful, he said. The univer· sit)' has alloca ted money to th e Woodburn and Presidential fel lowship programs, a nd Trigglt' said he wou ld like to increase that amount over the next yea r. " But that money will have to come from so mewh ere else," ht' said. " It 's going to be a priority decision we're going to have to agree upon; if this is an impo rtant issue , we accept th t' co nsequen ces of taking th e mo ney out of something else. Because yo u can 't have it both ways ." • Failure to make programs as "a ttractive as they could or should be.'' too many invisible programs, too many programs that are seen as the personal prerogative of a sm all number of faculty" who haven't been concerned about graduate applications because the applicants had always been plentiful, he said. "Times have changed; we have to pay more attention to the clients of our programs." • Students looking for programs that span a greater breadth of dis ciplines, and US must develop programs that offer this variety. • Many students want to earn a graduate degree, but UB only offers a doctorate in many fie lds because, like other American universities, it has "downgraded"the role o f the master's degree, whkh often l.s considered to be the ..consolation prize ford u.mb Ph.D. stu dents .n But the master 's degree " has a very real role to play" in many areas, and serv~ as the termin:ll professional degree in such fields as engineering, Triggle said. In other business at Tuesday's meeting. the senate postponed until its A'pril meet ing a proposal to amend its charter to provide the se nate greate r a uthority over graduate- and professional -degree requirements. The charter already gives the senate dear authority over the undergraduate curriculum. A proposal to modify the charter was brought before the senate in December by Wtlliam George, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, who lamented that while most members of the Faculty Senate were from units that have no direct responsibility for undergraduate programs, the senate spends most of its time o n busi· ness related to undergraduate edu . responsibilities" for graduate and professional programs. he said George proposed that the char· ter be modified to include a paragraph stating that '"The senate shall discharge the powers and duties of the voting faculty regaJtiing graduate and professional degree req u i.rem~nts. These include, but are not limited to, educational requirements and other matten of academic policy common to the graduate and professional programs of the university." The wordin~ of the proposal parallels that in the charter that gives the senate authority over the undergraduate curriculum. The senate's Bylaws Committee, chaired l>y Judith Hopkins. technical services research analysis officer for the University Ltbraries, had r<a>mmended that no chang< to the charter be made since the document does givethesenatetheright to review and make proposals ooncerning degree requirements and curricula for graduate and professional programs "if it chooses to exercise that right." However, Hopkins noted. the current text is "broad in scope" and gives the senatelesspowerthan it has over un dergraduate education. The se nat e voted to repl ace George's original resolution with one, st udied as an alternative but not recommended by the Bylaws Committee, that would drop all distinctions between undergraduate-, graduate- and professional degree programs when outlining th~ senate's authority. Senators agreed to postpone discussion of the revised motion until April to give senators more time to consider what many view as a crucial changt' to the body's responsibilities. �Marcli 15. 199!1Nul. 30.Nn.15 UB 101 called a success Students, instructors say course provides link to university By SUE WUETCHE.R Reporter Editor A HOUGH the ultimate verdict won't come ln until the retention figures for the Class of 2002 ""' recorded this September, students, instructors and ad.minislntton affiliated with UB 101, the University Experience, say the course appears to have accomplished its mission: to give new students a sense of belonging to the university.

Consensual relations Coni tnued from pege 1 · should seek Lhe opinion of a legal expert in the field, said Swartz, who admitted he was not that ex· pert. But, he noted. members of the committee arc "vigorously op· posed" to seeking such an opinion. Further, the committee has pro posed no "protective procedures" that would apply to possible violations of the statement , and "obviously has no inte ntion" of doing the enormous amount of work that would be required to draft sue~ procedures, he said. Swartz acknowledged that "things are not perfect at lhe present time at this university in this matter ... but that o n balance, we would do better to leave things as they are." Loyce Stewart, director of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Affirmative Action, told committee members that Title VII and Title IX of the federal Civil Rights Act provide legal justification for UB pursuing such a statement. Moreover, she sajd, "this is not a procedure issue; this is just a stateme nt .. . this is a statement to advise faculry of what could be the consequences of consensual rela · tionships.'" William Baumer, professor of philosophy, noted that the point of the motion was not to set a regulation; th e motion is merely an alert for faculty. He added that there IS another committee on campus that is drafting a sexual · harassment policy for the univer· sity that would include enforce· ment and disciplinary procedures. "'As we discuss this, we ought to keep that in mind,.. he advised. Dennis Malone, SUNY Distin · guished Service Professor in the Department of EJcctrical Engineering, told his coUeagues. "I'm more convinced now than I initially was that such a statement is desirable." The statement could be summed up with the first paragraph of the pro· posed alert. with the additional line "and therefore you're a damned fool if you let it happen. I don't know what more you need," he said. Adams· Volpe proposed three amendments to the alert designed, she said, to give the statement "the power that it needs. to protect the university, as well as the students." After lengthy discussion, FSEC members defeated the amend · ments, which proposed to: • C hange the title of the state · ment to "advisory" from .. alert ;" • Add the sentence "The University at Buffalo considers relation ships of a sexual nature between instructional or administrative staff and their students to~ unaccept able professionaJ conduct," and • Add the scnt<nce "Concerns may also be brought by students not in· volved in a relationship on the grounds of diminished opportunity resulting from actual or perceived favoritism to other students." The full senate will receive the proposed statement for a first reading at its April meeting. "Tbls Is.--to- faculty a f - could be the consequonces af cOIU8ISUIII dependent study, noting that therr have been cascs of students earning UB degrees with as many as 30-50 independent study and tutorial credits. In most of these cases. al· most all of these credits wert earned with grades of"A." he said. • Forwarded to the senate a resolution proposed by Samuel Schack, professor of mathematics, that asks that President WUtiam R Greiner and Provost David Triggle provide ..a.donshlps." to SUNY central administration "direct responses'" to the 37 questions on mission review it had LOYCE STEWART posed to the campuses, and "sus· In other business, the FSEC: • Forwarded to the fuU senate a resolution to limit the nwnber of credits students pursuing bachdor's degrees can earn through tutorial coursework, or independent study, to 18, with no more than 12letter· graded (A. 8, C, D) credits of tutorial councwork counting towards the 120 credits required for gradua· tion. The restriction, which wou1d be effective for students graduating in May 200 I, was proposed by the Educational Programs and Policies Committee. Commin« Olair Jack Meacham, professor of psychology, said the aim of the proposal is to prevent abuse by students who may attempt to earn numerous credits through in· pend work.. on revisions to Triggle's mission -review document .. until they establish, and receive reports from, appropriate committees of faculty and librarians charged to study the issues raised in the present and recent drafts." Schad<. ....ned that it was "urgent" for the UB administration to submit responses to the 37 mission-m-iew questions to central administration sintt they were due last September. and "less urgent" to tackle the com· pia issues that Tri!!gle rais<s in the document. As the next step in the academic-planningprocessinitiated by former l'roYost Thomas Headrick, Triggk's mission·m-i<w document requires"consid=ble l3culty disrus· sion." he said, adding that "the two tasks should not be confounded." �March 25. 1!19!1/Ynl. 3D.

Part of learning to think creatively and think critically is getting out ofthe intellectual paths one has habitually followed, and learning a second language inevitably forces one out of those ruts.

First, studying a for- eign language broadens a st udent 's intellectual world through the encounter with dif- ferent ways of thinking about the world as expressed through language. Monolingual individuals typically believe that the way their language characterizes things, actions, events and ideas accurately reflects what there is, and as soo n as one begins to lear n another langua ge. be it Spanish, latin or Korean, o ne is immedia tely confronted by the fact that there are o ther ways to characterize the world and the things in it and that the ideas and concepts expressed in..other Ian · guages arc not always the same as those expressed in English. This should be an intellectually liberating experience and o ne of the m ost important facets of the wresdon """"'"'"' In ""' NCMNotionol~. fsposiu>.

March 18. requirements lO all US freshmen is a positive step. but the failure to include the foreign-language requirement in them is not. While the debate about having a foreign -language requirement is often phrased in practical terms (e.g. how useful foreign-language skills are in an increasingly global economy), the ultimar. justification for such a requirement at a university like UB must lx intellectual, not practical. post-- The U8 wres1lrc"""' ....clod "' sity. It com plements the American Pluralism requirement in a natural way, since most of the modem lan- guages offered at UB are spoken by a minority group in the U.S. Third, studying a foreign Ian· guage enhances a student's knowledge of, and appreciation for, English. It is o nly when one comes into contact with another language that one can begin to appreciate o ne's own language in a new way, as now for the first time the student is forced to grapple with new words and a new grammar, i.e.. with a new way of formulating Ills or her thoughts. Thi s leads inevitably to a com parison between the new way and th e old, familia r ways. This, in turn , leads to en hanced native- language skills, and thus. perhaps pa radoxica ll y, foreign -language study furthers the universit y's goal of improvi ng the native-language sk.ills of its studen ts. Finally, studyi ng a foreign lan guage is traditionally part of a li beral ed u catio n , and th e AA U sc hools wi th which we co mpare o urselves require it. There are, of course, numerous practical reasons for acquiring forcigri-languageskills. The primary one ooncems the globalization of the economy. Studying a foreign language gives students a skill that is of ever-increasing irnportana in the global economy. Americans in international business, po~tics, etc. are held in much higher regard when they are at least minimally knowledgeable about the language of the people they are dealing with.

It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Enrollment 'sag' could impact on budget Decline continues in graduate admissions; undergrad, transfer numbers exceed targets By CHRimNE VIDAL News Services Editor T he university could face a budget deficit of as much as $1 million as a res'ult of it& 1998-99 enrollment shortfall, a deficit due largely to a decline in graduate enrollment in several key academic areas. UB's enrollment for fiscal year 1998-99 failed to achieve targeted budget enrollments by 362 annual average full -time equivalent en rollment (AAITE). according to Sean Sullivan, vice provost for aca demic information and planning. While enrollment figures normally "sag" betwttn the fall and spring semesters, this year the university is experiencing more of a shortfall than it normally does, he said. The· financial impact of the shortfall originally was estimated at $2 million, although SuUivan said the latest indications are the actual figure "is probably more like SI.S-2 million.• h is not yet clear precisely how the university will make up the gap in its budget resulting frord th1s budget shortfall. According to Sullivan, th e provost's office has calculated the amount of the deficit anributable to each academic unit that did not achieve budget enrollment goals. Provost David Triggle will be dis· cussing this issue with the deans a.'i part of the process he has established to reach budget agreements with each unit for fiscal year 1999-2000 and beyond. Sullivan indicated the precise budget impact of the enroll ment shortfall will not be known until SUNY begins its 1999-2000 fis cal year budget-allocation process. In examining this enrollment shortfall, he pointed out, the biggest concern is the continuing decline in overall graduate enrollment. UB's gnduate-siudent base has fallen from roughly 8,600 students six years ago to 7, 700 this year... Those are shonfalls that we did not expect and need to rebuild," Sullivan said. .. Our short -run problems are an certain graduate programs-Ar chitecture, Ed ucation, Engineer Ing, Nursmg and Social Workthese units have shortfalls that we must address together to turn around the budget impact." He added that the number.!> for new freshmen and tran sfe r stu dents exceeded the targets andre nect successful efforts by Nico las Good man , VICe provost for under graduate e du ca t ion; Regma Toomey, d1rector of adm"issions , and th e adm 1ss10ns staff to tn c rease apphcat1ons and tmprovr the yield o f accepted applicants. In a report prepared by Sullivan 's office that broke down the universit y mt o 16 academ1 c units, 10 did not meet their over all enrollment targets for \998 -99. The la rgest AAFfE enrollment shortfalls were in the School of En gineering a nd Applied Sciences ( 144 ), the G raduate School of Education (7 8 ), the Sc hool of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (66) , the College of Arts and Sci · ences (65), T he School of Archo tecture and Planning (53 ) and the School of Social Work (45). .. HistoricaUy, UB has alwar-; en rolled a number of students abovt: the budgeted enrollment 1arget.!l Overthe past IOyears.wit hS UNY'.!~ concurrence, we have been reduc· ing enrollments in a planned fash Ion to balance enrollments and available funds. However, over the: past three years, our en rollment!i have fullen below levels required to mamtam our base-budget JUppon. With the tmplement att on of the new SUNY Resou rce Allocation Meth odology ( RAM ) and wnh campuses now manag1ng theu own tuition revenue, there is now a much more dtrect relationship berween enrollment performance and unt versity budget," Sullivan concluded. " Provost Triggle does not wan t to reduce academic budgets fur ther than they have been over the past few yea rs, but in this current enrollment situation, he may have nO other alternative." FSEC continues mission-review debate ay SUE WUfTCHER Reporter Editor M EMBERS of the Fac ulty Senate Executive Committee, meeting in a special session on March 10, continued to lambaste the administration for what th ey consider a lack of faculty consul tation in the preparation of a mis· sion-review statement. But some FSEC members ac knowledged that faculty senators may not have: done enough in solic· iting the opinions of their oolleagues on the issue. And others admined that many faculty memben ~no interest at all in mission review. The meeting. which was devoted solely to a discussion of the latest version of Provost David Triggle's mission-review doc ument , was called by se nate C hair Peter Nickerson in response to complaints expressed at the February meeting of the full Faculty Senate that faculty members had not been con sulted in the preparation of the document. The statement, which could be submined to SUNY central administ ration as soon as this week. outlines the direction UB will take as it heads mto the 21st century. Co mplatnts about the lack of faculty input in the mission · re· view process cont10ucd at the spe cial FSEC meeting , with Louis Swartz, associa te professor of law, circulating to h1 s co lle agues a statement assertmg that faculty members largely ha\'e been " bypassed" in the development of the mission - review statement and have been brought into the pro cess .. too little and too late." Swartz asked President William R. Greiner "to take responsibilit y for the way this mission-statement process has been handled. " The fact is, the work of Provost (Tho mas E.) Headri ck (wh o prepared early versions of the document ) was mostl y on his own, assumedl y preparatory to co nsultation with the faculty," he said, noting that the senate's Academic Planning Com mittee had access to early versions of the document. Swartz urged that, regardless of whether the mission -review docu ment is sent to Albany in its present form, Greiner and Triggle"tili steps very quick.ly to involve the facuhy in a much more substantive way in terms of the planning process." Boris Albmi , professor of m tcro biology, said that most of his colleagues 10 the medical school '" had no idea that a misston statement was betng prepared ." He urgcd that the administration begm con sultation with the facult y on such 1ssues .. as early as possible" 10 the decision -makmg process so that discu ss ion ca n take place 10 a '' quiet and cons tructive mood." instead o f a "press unzed way" Greiner wondered why facuh~ senators from the med1 cal school had not Informed the1r colleagues of mission review, and why thev weren 't pushing the admintstra uo n and the dean of the school for �2 Repartea Uartfl18.1999/'lot30.h14 BRIEFLY Janet Penksa is associate vice president for university services responsible for UB's state-relations programs and initiatives.

Of prt. vote colleges ond unlvenltles7 The princi pal message of the publil" -research universities is that they are key to the eco no mi c growth and vitality of the state. Recently, the newspapers have been full of the latest economic statistics that show how upstate New York, par· ti,u larly the Western New York region, lags the nat ion considerably in terms of job growth and eConomic growth, generally. The state hae; a tremendous economic re source and investment in the form of its research universi ties. many of which are public institutions. The national mo del s of success arc clear: Stanford University and Sili con Valley, MIT and Rt.. 128 in Bosto n and. of course, North Carolina's Research Triangle. With the right investment, New York's public universi ties, and particularly UB, can be significant cata lysts for high-tech economic devel ~ opment. This investment requ ires funding stability so that the uni versities can focus on pursuing an aggressive resea rch agenda. rather than mcrdy preserving the status quo-and putting a priority on expanding the pool of government funds available for university spon· sored research. long--·-·you-·-.....- LetiW.ton l!sten to lobbyists all clay c a r e - , _ lsiue7 The first step in getting a legisla· tor to care about your issue is to get them to care about yo ur in· stitution. Good relations between the university community and government officials are critical. Every individual associated with th e University at Buffalo is key to this effort. For example, we have an active and energetic Alumni Association that has established a UB Gove rnment Relations Co mmittee. This committee has successfully been advocating UB pri ori ti es in Alban y each and every year. This past February, with tremendous effect, they o rgani zed the alumni commiuees from the other three university centers and sponsored a legislative breakfast and advocacy day in Albany tha t featured Erich Bloch,. former director of the Na ti onal Science Foun d ation, as th e keynote speaker. In addition , the faculty and staff of thi.s universi ry and the imp-o rt ant research and public se rvi ce t h ey conduc t are ex tremely impo rtant to a st ron g government-relati9ns progra{Jl, EquallY impOrtant is ' the role o ur st uden ts play through their collective participation in SUNY Day, the premier lobbying day in Albany for the public-university sys tem, and thro ugh thei r indi vid ual advocacy efforts, as well as through their reputation for aca demic exce ll ence. Governme nt officials respo nd to all these efforts. Once st ro ng partnerships are forged, it is up to the university's government advocate to p rese nt a clear and co ncise agenda on behalf of the univcrsit y. The support of the members of the Western New York legisla- -J tive delegation for UB has been tremendous over the years. b TAP so oftot1 a budget terget7 Many think TAP has been a target because there is a perception that New York's spending on tuition assistance is out of line with what other states spend. Whether o ne agrees or not, perceptions tend to take on a life of their own and must be addressed. UB and, thankfully. many of our legislative members believe the TAP program has enabled many New Yo rkers, who might not have otherwise had the opportunity to do so. to get an outstanding education dals. We are optimistic that when the legislature passes its budget resolutions, there will be significant restorations for higher education. Much work still will nffi! to be done to ensure that higher-education restorations ace in the final negotiated budget bills, but we feel we have made a good stan. The legi51ature has consistently vaJ. ued the state's public-research universities. and UB in particular. As the individual and col· lective work of this institution continues togrowandgain recognition, it will only make our advocacy e.f fons easier. - - - do )'OU wish How did you get Into thb line ofwork7 · - ........ -how would youh•ve.,..-lt7 J began my career aS a graduate scholar with th~ New York State Assembly. As an avid political science student , I was incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to experience the legislative process firsthand. O nce I completed my scholarship in Albany and gradu ated with my master's degree from SUNY Binghamton, I accepted a position with the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, the budget and appropriations committee fo r the assembly. I ·s tayed with the Ways and Means Com minee for 14 years and worked my way up fro m analyst to staff di rector. After •o many budget battles, it became time fo r me to leave and govern ment relations seemed a natu ral fit for my experience and capabilities. UB presented me with a great opportu nity to represent a well -respected institution. I wish you had asked me the question I hear most from people, which is "Do our local representati ves have any in fluen ce in the b udget delib· erati o ns, or is the process all leaders hip driven?"' Over the years, the press has done a good job of convincing the public that the bud · get is negotiated by the socalled " three men in the room:.. the governor, the senate majority leader and the speaker of the assembly. Atid, as a result, our local legislators play a minor role in the p rocess. In my experience, noth ing could be farther from the truth. The legislative leaq. ers are elected by their confei4 ence members to represent their members and their interests. Oftentimes, the budget in Albany is so late because th e leaders are representing the needs of their members and refu se to ask the mem bers to vote on a budget that does not address these needs. A phrase yo u often hear in Albany after the budget deadline is m issed is .. I 'd rather have a late budget than a bad budget." What can the unhentt:y community do to help your efforts to see some restoration of the budget? The university comm unity has al ready contributed greatly to our efforts to restore thi s year's budget reductions by providing the foundation for our good relationship with many government offi- pubi5hod by the Office of News Services in tho Oivlslon of UnM!r1ity s.Mces, State UnM!rsity of New Yotlc i1t lkilolo. £dltorillolllces""' loaled at 136 Crotts Hall, Amherst, (716) 645-2626. __ ---W\let~.edu --1'-...N1141111 C"'*"""""""" ............. ....... ..,._._ ., fw ' -----·-""""""" -.... ...,._ ..,.,.

Study may result in better TMD treatment m By CHRtmNE VIDAL News Servic~ Editor TUDIES conducted by a S UB dental researcher could lead to betrer treatment s for temporomandibu lar disorders (TMD ), a condition that can affect sufferers' abilities to eat , swallow. yawn-and kiss. Richard Ohrbach, assistant professor of oral diagnostic sciences, and coUeagues presented their find ings Friday. Their research co uld affect treaunent ofTMD and other chronic pain disorders. TMD is characterized by pain or dysfunction of the masticatory syslem . The condit ion can lead to difficultie s with ea ting, drinking , swallowi ng, talking- any activit)' Ihat involves the mouth and jaw. even kissing, Ohrbach said. In a study that examined the effects of relaxatioh on TMD symptoms, participants wert random!)' assigned to spend 30 minutes a day listening to a relaxation tape or, as a · control group, listening to the music of their choice for 30 minutes. Also as part of the st udy, research ers examined the effects of muscle rehabilitation by randomly assign mg members of another grou~ jawstretching exercises. C hronic pain o ften is accompanied by muscle lightness and shortening. Research ers wanted to srudy whether stTetch· ing into pain could result in better pain reduction. Participants were divided into thr~ groups for musdt- rehabilitation treatment. O n e grouPs tretched its jaw mu scles , bu i' stopped short of the poinr where strelching caused pain . The second group was asked to stretch into pain. The third. control group. was asked to massage its jaw muscles. After three weeks, all st udy par · ticipants were asked to rate their symptoms. Surpris ingly, both the re laxa t ion and music groups showed s imilar result s. Managing time and taking con trol are fundamental to pain management,Ohrbach said, noting that of the 4 I people who started the program, I I dropped out because they could not find the time to do the 30-minute relaxation exercise. Researchers also fo und that par· ticipants who had st retch ed int o pain co mpared to the o th e r musde treal("ents repo rted a significant decrease in their TM D pain when opening thei r jaws, sug· gesting a way to improve a treat · ment already often used. James Uyanik, a senior hon orlrl student, helped design and con · duct the research stud'f. A second study, conducted in collaboration with Ca rl Granger, professor and chair of the Depart m ent of Rehabilitation Medicine in the School of Medicine an d Bio- medical Sciences; Samuel Markello, research assistant professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, and Brenda Horrell . a graduate student in the Depart ment of Oral Diagnostic Sciences in the School of Dental Medicine, looked at developi n g a reliable measure of jaw disability. The scale looks at the hierarchy of increas· ing disability associated with com mon behaviors, such as eating, drinking, swallowing and talking. The project was designed to allow researchers to develop a scale that would allow health practitioners to assess the impact of TM D m terms o f functional limitations. A third study looked at trymg ru understand the physical and psychologicaJ dimensions that explam the problems TMD sufferers have . "We have a lot of ways to mea su re pain," Ohrbach said. But re searchers have had limit ed ways to quantify the sy mptoms of TMD and their interrelationshipS. Colleagues at the UnJVt'rSI IY of Washington conducted a five -yea r st udyofTMD pain to better understand the relati o n s hi p betw<.•en TMD pain , the physical characteristics and the ~-ychological impact that can accompany the dtsease. such as depression, anXIety and somatization, or non · spt.-cifu.. phY'' cal sympto ms. The resu lts show that there .lrl' reliable and largel y independent aspects that charactc.>rize TM D: pain, physical status and psycho · logical !' tat us , suggesting thai all three domains need atr ention bc · cause eac h exe rts it s own impal·r o n the individual. "We' re trying to understand th e din)ensions that explain 1he pmb· lems people have," Ohrbach sa1d. ..A lot of people who haw pam have problems thai extend beyond the body," he continued. "The pam may have begu'l with somethmg that 1!1 wrong with the body. hut there are secondary problems that keep the patient sedting treatment for something that often no longer ensllro, at least 10 its original form.

OAF plants are q u ite common in Europe. Whereas sedimentation works by allowing particles in water to settle to the bottom of a tank, where they are removed, OAF works by floating them to the top. That simple difference is an advantage for particles, such as algae, that are difficult to remove by'sedimentation. In areas where algae is a problem, as can be the case with Lake Erie water, OAF can process more watt"r faster in the samesized tank.

Pataki 's budget proposal fails to include funding for SUNY contractual salary increases and inflation-a move that would have a $6 million impact on UB-Prcsident William R. Greiner is confident the Legislature will restore those funds. "The vibes are that the salary money- the contractual increase money-and the inflationary money will be put in (the final state budget) as an add-o n to the governor's budget," Greiner told the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at its March 3 meeting. Greiner, who had just returned from a trip to AJbany, also said that he believes legislators will restore Pataki's cuts to the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP ), noting that there"doesn't seem to be much pa · tience" ln the Legislature for cuts to the program that proviPcs fi - nancial aid to eligible New York State students attending colleges and universities in the state.

Yourman carefull y has chosen moralizing text to demonstrate how traditional values subconsciously affect the public's op;,;ion of women criminals and how the media help to manipulate and magnify that opinion through their use of dramatic imagery. According to Fischman, Yourman chooses text that challenges and clarifies the unspoken j udgment embedded in distorted media rq>resenmtions of female offenders.

I Two important projects that need provost's, faculty's attention Ill To The: Editor: In the.: present dLSCusslons about the provmt's proposed miss1on · sununary statement for SUNY. It 1s important to separ,He what as urgent from what is n ot. Nearly one year ago, SUNY sent this campus 37 questions for which it required answers.. That response was du~ some six months ago and providing it now is inde<d urgenL The president remarked at an FSEC meeting on March I0 that developing the answers would not be difficult and that the questions are. in fact, more modest in scope than the mission su mmary now being prepared. The provost's sta tement, we are 1old. should be rega rded as th e neXl stepJn the planning process initiated by Provost Headrick. A5 such , tt requiresconsiderabl~ fuculty discussion. And finalizing it is of co nsiderably less urgency, though perhaps of no ress importance, than answering Albany's questions. The two tasks should not be con founded . At present. the proposed summary statement establishes new directions a nd makes sweeping pronouncements on a large number of significant topics--directions and pronouncements about which, in recent meetings of the Faculty Senate and itsexecutivecomminee,many members have expressed serious reserva· lions. (For my comments on an earlier-but, in the main , similardraft , go to <http://www. IKJU . buffolo .edu /-~ .) In addition. senators have strenu · ouslyobjectedtotheinadequat<consultarion with faculty prior to the document's preparation-and not merely on 'the"obvious procedaraJ grounds. It seems fair to say that, at thispoint,theissuesaddrtssedinthe summary still require the serious study, data gathering and analysis at which faculty and librarians arr particularlyadeptandtha~withoutsuch study, no consmsus can be formed within the&.cultyon any approaches toth.,.,issues. Thus, it would be premature for campus representatives to present condusions on these matters to SUNY. I believe that the administratio n will stop conflating th e two projects if they receive enough re· quests that th ey do so. Thus. I suggest th at we each write the provost -Samuel D. (562 Capen, triggle@ a leiter request ing: (l) that he respond directly to the 37 questions sent by SUNY, referring, where necessa ry, to Provost Headrick 's planning repons, and (2) that he suspend wo rk on revision s to his mission -summary'docu ment until he establishes, and receives reports from, appro priate faculty committees. If you choose to writ< the provost on this topic. please send a copy of your letter to the Faculty Senate's Acad~mic Planning Co mmittee (5 43 Capen , <cwolch@acsu.buffiolo.cdu>,as the FSEC has a.skl!d it to monitor the faculty response to the mis· sian-summary document buffalo.~du ) Schac~ Profesror of Mathematics Albany asks for answers to serious questions; we give them Biblical quotes To The Editor: On Aprill, 1998_. system admlll · istrat ion sent a lertgthy docu ment to the campus presidents on mission review: " In order for SUN Y to m ai ntain-a nd en hann·- its standing, we mu st co me together, both as indi · vidual campuses and as a co mprehensive system, to exploit the opportunities for improved stu · dent learning. the discovery of new kn owledge and enduring service to New York." No one can quibble with th ese objectives. Also:"Presidents should consult widely with faculty, administrative leadcrs. students and other constituencies in framing a response." And .. there should not o nly be ca ndid dialogues within each campus, but also among cam· puses and with system administration" on the campw roie within the system, inter-campus cooperation and such. Sound sentiments. The document ends with 39 pointed questions. A sample: .. What institutions, in terms of overall academic characteristics, do you regard as your current and asp irat io nal peers? " .. Against which institutions. both within SUNY and elsewhere, do you compete for undergraduate students?" " How do your campus' academic programs complement tho~ of· fered by other SUNY campuses?" Good questions. The response was due by the end of September 1998---<1 deadline we fuiled to meet, though 1101 on account of time-a>nsuming. broad consulmtions.

Thursday � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Addictions institute to merge with UB Proposal to make RIA part ofuniversity awaits approval by New York State Legislature T HE Researd! Institute on Addictioru (RIA), currently~ arm of the New York 'State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services(OASAS), isslatedtobecome part ofUB as soon as the New York State Legislature approves. Having RIA integnated into UB will strengt1>en the university's researdl in addictions and broaden its opportunities for graduate education in the field, said Dale M.Landi, UB vice president for research. "Addiction isone<Xthe great problems facing us in the nat century. It is becoming more serious and more oostly. Conducting the research necessary to learn how to deal with this problem is one of the national im- pera!Ms of our time." Landi said late last week. The proposal calls for RIA to function as a freestanding research institute within UB, reporting to the provost. It wouJd retain its identity and remain at its present location at I 021 Main St., Buffalo. Administration of its sponsored programs would be transferred from the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene to the SUNY Research Foundation. Landi said Gov. Patalci has introduced the bill and made appropriate provision in his <:UCUtM budget to The proposed legislation was approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees on Nov. 17. and a memorandum of understanding between UB and OASAS was signed Dec. 8 by President William R. Greiner and Jean Somers Miller, CASAS commissioner. Landi briefed the Western New York legislative delegation on the proposal providefOrtheintegration. "\\\odon't expect any opposition; he said The proposed legislation on integnating the two entities stipulates that RIA personnel currently employed by the Research Founda- tion for Mental Hygiene - about I 00 people - . would become SUNY Research Foundation employees, with comparable classifications and compensation. The approximately 45 RIA employees on the state payroll would be transferred to SUNY without change in compensation or accrued benefits, the proposal states. "All parties affected by this are excited about the prospect of a merger and everything it has to offer,• said Gerard }. Connors, Ph.D., RIA director and UB research professor of psychology. Connors .said the institute would continue to focus its research on alcohol use and disorders, but hopes to expand its emphasis to include compulsive gambling and drugs other than alcohol. The merger will bring RIA back to its roots. It was established at UB in 1968 by the state Department of Menial Hygiene to conduct research into alcoholism and potential treatments. Cedric Smith, UB professor of pharmacology and toxicology, was RIA's first director, serving until 1979.

It was the direction we always intended to go, the direction we always expected to go." When the revamped, general education curriculum was implemented with great fanfare in Fall 1992, it was required only of fresh men pursuing bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in the arts and sciences. The Und ergraduate College, which designed the curriculum under the leaderjhip of former Dean John Thorpe. did not have the resources to implement the plan effectively, Goodman recalled.

His father's dream unfulfilled Martin Luther King, l.IL speaks at UB commemoration II)' JOHN LAYElU Reporter Contributor T \ I HE Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr, rnesmerired the 0 250,000 people who came to Washington in 1963 to bear him tall< about his dream for America. But more than 30 years later, the eldest son of the slain civil-rights leader told a UB audienct that that dream has been dekrred. "My father's dream has not been realized. ..that day has not yet arrived," Martin Luther King. ill, told the erowd attending )lis keynote address at the 23rd annual Martin Luther King. Jr., Commemoration held 'on Feb. 25 .in the Mainstage theater in the Center for the Arts. King, who was only I 0 years old when his father was murdered in 1968 as he stood on the balcony of a motel in Memphis, Tenn., said his father had felt that racjsm was the nation"s greatest moral di lemma. And it remains so today. "It has the potential to destroy us." he said, calling racism, along with poverty and violence, an "old dog.• "The dog may look kinder and gentler, but it's still the same old dog." he said. "We are a hetur nation than the behavior we are exhibiting."

" Poverty, we knov.:. proportionately has grown; violence is atepidemic levels and racism is certainlyon the horizon." he said "We never could have envisioned that we would be dealing with an incident like (the one that occurred in) Jasper, Teris, at this particular time in our history. We thought that kind .of incident we had put behind us." King, who serves as president of the Soutliem Christian Leadership Conference. the organization his father co-founded during the civil-rights stiugglo:s of the 1960s, said he was opposed to the execution of James Wtlliam King, the man convicted in the Jasper murder. "My position has always been-and my family's position, we have always been, as Christians. l should say-that killing is not the answer. I have been against the death penalty." King said. There is a growing element of racism in the nation, he noted, citing paramilitary groups and hate talltradio as"tilling the soil for hatnd"Headded that he believes that hatred is something that does not happen accidentally, but that is "programmed" into young people. King suggested that on<. of the waystochangetheproblemsofihju"stice, inequality and hatred is to change the curriculum of history studies in the schools. History, he said, is being taught from a Western European point of view, and itwouldhebettertoteachchildren about the long and llJlcient history of the Native American, as weU as African-American, Asian and Latino history.

Murphy, professor of medicine and microbiology, has received a five-year, $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to continue development of a vaccine for bacteria responsible for 3.5 million childhood ear infections an nually in the U.S. The organism, Moraxtlla mu.rrludis, also is responsible for about 30 pen:ent oflung infections that develop in adults with chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Mwphy, who also is chief of in«ctious diseases at the VA Western New York Healthcare System, has been q>nducting NIH-sponsored research for I 0 years in his VA laboratories into possible vaccines to pro- teet against bacterial ear infections. His work has resulted in four new U.S. patents in the past two yean. Eighty pen:ent of aU children ex- perience a middle-ear infection by the age of 3, statistics indicate. Ear infections are the most common reason for visits to pediatricians, and the most common condition for which antibiotics are adminis_tered to children. Repeated ear infections can cause hearing loss , which in young children can lead to delayed language development and learning disabilities. .. Vaccines to prevent ear infections would go a long way to relieving the pain and suffering that children and their families experience and would help prevent learning disabilities." Mwphy said. Morrue/Ja mtarrhalis causes about 15pe=nt of aU ear infections. he said. Adults with chronic lung conditions such as emphysema and bronchitis also could benefit from a vaccine for these bacteria , Murphy noted. "People with these illn~ aperience periodic in feetions, and about 30 percent of these infections a.re caused by MoraulJJJ aztarrhalis. These infections lead to hospitalizations in these patients and an~ a significant cause of death," he said. With the new grant, Murphy will study two specific outermembrane proteins of the bacterium to determine i:f they will be effective vaccines and to understand how the vaccines could be creatt'd. The NIH is also funding his research into a possible vaccine for Hatmopltilw influen.zae, which causes similar infections.

BrieD Nobel prize-winning researcher to lecture on prion disease at UB St.Mioy B• .....,._, internationaUy known neurologist, researcher and 1997 Nobel laureate in medicine, wiU speak at 4:15p.m. on March 22 in Butler Auditorium in Farber HaU on the South Campus. Prusiner, whose controversial research suggests that rogue pro· teins called prions, not viruses, are responsible for disorders such as .. mad cow" disease, will discuss "Clinical and Experimental Neurology of Prion Disease." His presentation will be a combined Harrington Lee· ture, sponsored by the School of Medicine and Biomedi, . _ cal Sciences, and an Edward fogan l«ture in Neurology, sponsored by the Department of Neurology in the medical school. It will he free and open to the public. Prusiner is a professor of neurology and biochemistry in the School of Mt'dicine at the University of California at San Francisco. as well as professor of virology in residence in the School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley. His research came into international prominence in 1996, during the "mad cow" disease cr'isis in Great Britain. A nationwide panic erupted after it was announced that 10 young people in Grea~Brit ­ ain had contracted a new strain of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD ) and there was reason to believe theSt cases were caused by eating beef from cows infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (SSE), a fatal brain disease commonly known as "'mad cow" disease. This focused attention on the research ofPrusiner, who, in 1982, advanced the theory that C JD, SSE and related diseases were caused by rogue proteins that he called .. prions." At that time, hi s hypothesi s was dismissed as .. heretical" by many scientistso th e prevailing wisdom was that C JD and related diseases were caused by viruses. No one had ever heard of a self-replicating protein. much less an infectious one. su ch as the prion suggested by Prusiner. He persevered with his resea rch and over the years has produ ced a wealth of evidence on the existence· of prions. His data pointed to the prion as the product of a mutant gene that causes disease by altering the shape of normal versions of the same protein . ln 1997, Prusiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medici ne. only the sixth person in the past 40 years to win the award without any co-winners. The Nobd committee praised his work and strongly asserted that it believes his conclusions to be true, but the controversy over prions continues. Prusiner's still- hotly-contested .. prions," implicated in such d.iseases as CJD, also may have a role in learn · ing about apparently related diseases, such as Alzheimer 's, mul tiple sclerosis, Parkinson's di sease and ALS ( Lou Gehrig's di sease) . Prusiner is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Society of Microbiology and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has received numerous other awards, in · eluding the ·Richard Lounshery Award for Extraordinary Scientific Research in Biology and Medicine from the National Academy of Sciences, the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research and the Wolf Prize for medicine. A cum laudt graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Prusiner has been affiliated with the medical school at the University of California at San Francisco since 1974. �41R.p: ... lmH 111/Vi.l.llll lm.,.ct of drastic changes Intrigues Gerber Historian explores creativity in living' ., - McGMti News Services Edltoriol Asslstont • ., a .., Apotl . . . . . . . . . . . . tD _ . . . . . . . . . . . . . paolly ... . - . ......... _Apt 16111 . . _ , . . . . ...... ~-~ Y studying HoUywood movies, UB historian Dav id G erber h as de 10""' important discoveries in his career-loog exploration of how circums~ces of drastic change have impacted the lives of individuals in American social history.

They have op<ned up major areas of research in severaJ fields, including anthropology, Jinguistics, philosophy, psychology and neurology. Together, these disciplines form the "inter-discipline"' of cognitive scien~the. study of how the mind works-investigating the conceptual organization of the mind and it.s neural and computational properties. Newapplicationsofneuroimaging in the cognitive sciences will be discussed April2 when ~owned cognitive psychologist Michael I. Posner presents the 1999 Distinguished Speaker Lecture sponsored by the · Cenl6 for Cognitive Science. Posner's ~ " Development of Attentional Networks for Regulating Thought, Feeling and Behavior,.. will take place at 3 p.m. in Room 225 of the Natural Sciences N Building oD the North Campus. It is free and open to the public. leonard Thlmy, associate professor of linguistics and direc10r of the ceolet, calls Posner "a pioneer ""!~ leading authority in the use of oeuroimaging as a a-edible, .....nte tool with wbidJ to undmtandhuman cognition and solve clinical problems." A professor of psyd>ology·in the Department ofPsydliatryat Cornell Medical College, Posner directs the departmenf~Saclder Institute, a center for research in child developmenL The technologies to be discussed byPasnerhaveproduced~ investigative tools -that take pictures of the brain as it works on specific tasks, rendering aspects of thought visible in real time. By allowing scientistS to see the physical changes brought on by mental activity, these technologies, principally positron emission topograpby or PET, are helping to rev.al the-connections between diflmntparts ofthe brain and specific functions of the mind This area of cognitive study is called "brain mapping" and Posner has pinpointed many of the pbysi- cal mechanisms of the brain in- ceived the 1996 William James Book volved in perception, learning, AW2ld.

On a recent payday, we had a Public Safety oflicer on the premises because we anticipated so many payroll problems with the stat.e'snewonlinepayrollsystem. Onanygivenpayday,wedisoover numerous employees~ been paidincorrectlyduetocircumsiante< beynodourcontrolthatoccurin this new system. We have no way of knowing how many we don't discover. We have a grand total of three full-time employees who process the entire state and teaching/ graduate assistant payrolls. We have roughly 5,000 state and 1000 TNGA employees. The volume of transactions processed each payroll probably averages 300 to 500; peak periods are much higher. Every payroll comes right down to the very last day before we know if, in fact, we are going to meet Albany's deadline and actuaUy get everything processed. We are severely understaffed in every area of responsibility. We have, for an extended period of time, only been able to accomplish the most cri ti cal function s necessary to produce paychecks. Virtually ev erything else has to wait until we hopefully find a spare hour or so to catch up. Even so, we routine.ly work overtime and work through lunches, breaks, weekends and yacations. This situation is notrecent or short-te.nn. This has been going on for three years. When we hire additional staff, they don't stay. Who would! The atmosphere is awful. When we lose staff, we lose the funding and can't bire again. Every one of us has been treated for stress-related problems. last year, I left the oflice for a routine doctor visitandendedupinthecardiac-care unit. I wonder what it will take fot someone torcalizetheseverityofthis situationaodtakestepstocorrectthe problem. I hope it will change before a staff person becomes seriously ill or an employee becomes annO)'Ed enough to injure someone. One of the criticisms voiced in the mistreated faculty member,s complaint was that the business service's unit has forgotten who the customer is and how to ·provide service. I totally disagree. We have not forgotten, by any means. We simply Jack the time, energy, and stamina to tili what is thrown at us on a day-t<>-day basis and still provide top-level semce. To pro- vide e:xcellent service requires a commitment of effort, as well as resources. In my experience, the philosophy of "service excelJence" has chiefly been expressed on paper and not demonstrated in fact. Every single staff person in the Payroll Ser-vices unit bas expressed their concerns; and these same concems bave been reinforced time after time by our director, and the raponse remains "due to budget constraints," etc., etc. We aU know the refrain. There comes a time when a choice has to be made. Can we con tinue to sacrifice heahh, family time and quality of life to provide excdlent service when we see that, in the order of resource priorities, giving Payroll Services the staffing and funding we require is about as remote as our desperate at· tempts to win the New York State lottery! The choice has become our job or our health and weU-being.

Studenu in the professional schools, as well as traosfer studenu, continued to follow the knowledge-area curriculum in which they took courses in sit: "knowledge areas" that were intmded to serve as introductions to the subject areu;'Teaturing strong writing orquantitui>e components. Now, with the College of Arts and Sciences in place and a deanKerry Grant-who is staunchly "committed" to the curriculumit can be required of aU freshmen entering the wliversity, Goodman said, noting that almost aU of the components of the curriculum, with the possible excePtion of some upper-division science courses, fall under the auspices of the college. Moreover, the great sucoess of the curriculum in the arts and sciences, and the "credibility" the program has achieved over the years has helped to pave the way for agreement from the professional schools on atending the core curriculum to those uniu, he said. Although improvement of un dergra uate education was not the sole r n for the creation of the Coll e of Arts and Sciences. it was of any university," he said... It's the desire to do that right that has driven us inexorably to creating the College of Arts and Sciences.• While aU studenu entering UB as freshmen this fall will be required to follow the core curriculum---5tudenu who already are matriculated will not be affected-those majoring in areas other than the arU and sciences will be able to dmp the foreign-language requirement Fulfill ing that requirement would pose a "very significant additional load" on students whose coursework already is heavy in science and math requirements. Goodman said, addmg there also is a resource problem tn providing language instruction to aU freshmen. Theuniwnityplans to phase in the core curriculum to tntnsfer students OY<I' the next few years. he said. Providing a common. core cur· riculum for undergraduates will simplify advisement and mak< it easier for students to change fTom on< program to another-<llld possibly speed progress toward degree--since they will not have to retake general-education requirements if they move, for example, from a professional school, where they would follow a knowledgearea curriculum, to the arts and sciences, where they would follow the core curriculum, he noted. He said that many studenu tal« general-education courses during their fim'yean at UB to build a foundation, then tal« more specialized counes during the last two yean. But that strategy won't work if general-education requinments vary from school to school, and students don't know which general-education courses to take un til they choose a major. A common, general-education curricuJum .. makes for a better way of organizing undergraduate educa· tion," he said "At least students are confident of getting their generaleducation requirements out of the way.. before pursuing cou rses in their major course of study, he said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

One of the earliest projects was the 1986 Empire State Games, when more than 20 UB retirees helped out with all aspects of the games.

The concert manager for Slee Concert Who-- MART consum ers will take some precautions to pro tect their personal fi . nantes in tight of possible Y2K problems, Lewis Mandell, dean of the Schoo l of Management , suggested to a "UB at Sun- rise" audience on Feb. 18. Although he believes th ere is no reason to panic--estimating the possibility of a major Y2K problem in the U.S. at "less than I0 percent"-MandeU offered some tips for those who want to be prepared. He advised audience members to withdrawS 1,000 from a savings account at the beginning of December. The Federal Reserve, he noted, will step up its reserve of cash from $60 billion to $250 billion in antici pation of such withdrawals. "Anybody that doesn't do thai is really footish," Mandell said. "Don't wait until the week before Christ mas to go to an ATM machine. If nothing happens, the money can go right back into the bank." Individuals also should keep all their receipts, and have their bank S books balanced by late December, he said. He urged those with stocks. bonds and other investments to determine if the brokerage house keeping the certificates is Y2K comptiant. If not, investors sho uld switch brokerage houses or obtain the actuaJ paper certificates and store them in a safe deposit box until any problmu are straightened out, he suggested. On Jan. 3--the first business day of the year 2000-the world will know who really was prepared for the coming of the new millennium and who was not, Mandell said While the U.S. '" is better off than any other country," there are some foreign companies that don't "have a clue.. about the Y2K problem, he said He added that he believes there will be fewe r corpora te mergers this year than in past years because companies do not want to intermingle computer systems. The Y2K problem is only one of the problems to be faced in the coming millennium, Mandcll noted in his lc:cru..,, entitled "Coping in a Be- Ktlve : I wouldn't begin to touch the "age component" ofREV-UP. lt is not a factor of the program at all There is a quote from Samu.d Sinclair Baker's "Conscious Happmess" wtpchsaysitb<st;"Youan:asyoung as your c:nthwiasm, as old as your disinterest."

Mandell urges wildering Financial Environ ment."' Another major problem is the number of bankruptcies being filed The dean said that more than 2 million families nationwide filed for bankruptcy last year. He said that States, notin g that cons umers today must make many more decisio ns concerning their finances than those in past years. For example, he compared the defined benefit pension that in the past had been offered by most employers, whue an employ.e who worked for a company for a cenain number of years could expect a pension based on the number of years of service and his or her exiting salary, to the defined contribution pensions that have become popular today, such as a 40 I k plan, where the employ.e makes a contnbution, the employer contributes a like aniount and the sum is invested in S«Urities, oftrn of the employee's choice. "This demands that you make, ala very early age, a very sophisticated choice of instruments ... without any training." he said. Mandell said that th<r< is much conum about the ability of young people to make decisions that may have lifelong ramification s. He pointed to the results of a question naire used to detamine students' financial titeracy as part of a 1997 benchmark survey be oonducted of 1,500 high-school seniors. Ov.ral.l, students answ'<l'ed cor=tly just 57.3 peroent of the 31 questions in the survey, questions .. that everyone needs to understand at the age of 18 in order to go out into the world," said Mandell, wbo published the survey results in a book "Our Vulnerable Youth: The Financial Lit eracy of American 12th Graders." He stressed that the public mwt become"OWU< of the need to teach young people at the junior-high and high-school level "life skills" that will prepare them to make wiSe financial decisions. �februall 25.1!B/VtU1.1c.Z2 Rep What are the possible legal ramifications ofY2K problems and how can they be avoided?

It proposes UB make rna lOr investments in four major sci entific areas: Molecular, biological and biomedical sciences; computer sciencr and information technology; materials sc ience. and th e en- vironment and infrastructure. AJthou8h Triggle was out of town and did not attend the senate merting, President Wtlliam It Greiner called the provost's document a "conceptual and forward-thinking ~ew'" of the future of the insti- tution_ Although based on former Provost 'Jbomas E. Headrick's academic planning document--in fact, Headrick prepared two earlier versions of the document-Greiner said the 'IHggk v=ion tried to "focus on the main institutional mues.. and not "fall into the trap of selecti.ng out every area of the university for comment." Much ofthe quantitative data that were in the main body of Headrick's text will be included in th e documen(s appendices, he added. While the document focuses on the so-called "big sciences" and docs not address research in the sociaJ sciences and the humanities, it "'assumes we will go on and continue to do research in those areas," he said. Claude Wdch.Jr.• SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sc~ences and chair of the Aademic Planning Committee, told senators that his comm.jttee has reviewed thrtt versioru of the mission statemen tincluding the o ne before the senate-and forwarded extensive oomments to Triggle.

The survey of incoming fresh men con du cted during o rient a tion sessions last summer by the Office of Academic Information and Planning found that almost all freshmen - 98 percent-agreed that a requirement of compute r literacy is .. an essential feature of J university curri culum as we pre-pare to en ter the 2 1st century." And 97 percen t expected to br asked to use educational technol ogy in their cou rsework at UB. UB will become a "high -tech institution" with the impiCJllcntation of Access '99 this fall Campus in forma tion-technology o fficials say that universities that have adopted such strategies have seen increases in admissions applications and acceptances, as well. as improved retention. Providing"convenient and affordable" computing access to students also will personalize and customize instruction and increase student s' computer proficiency, making t hem more employable, officials say. Students apparently agree. Sixty-nine percent of freshmen surveyed by Academic Informa tion and Pla nn ing expected to have their own comppters at the start of the Fall 1998 semester, an in crease fr~m 61 percent a year earlier. Most of those students had a desktop unit (87 percent ) with a modem (93 per ce nt ), a Web browser (87 percent), a CD-ROM drive (9 1 Percent ) and multime - dia capabilities (89 percent). Of the 31 percent who would not own their own co mputers by the beginning of the fall semester. 89 percent expected to need equip ment and 9 1 percent expected UB to provide computer access. Computer access was an impo r· tant factor in students choosing U B, accordi ng to the survey re · suit s. About 40 percent of respon dC nts agreed somew h at or strongly th at they would have been further encouraged to apply to UB .. hecause computers are important to my expec ted career plan s." About 40 percent were neutral , neither agreeing nor disag reeing with th e statement.

O nl y about IS percent of those responding felt that the additional financial burden of purchasing a co mputer migh t cause them to reconsider UB. with a majoriry of respondents saying the requirement would not cause them to reconsider attending US and 30 percent re· maining neutral on the issu e. The survey found that freshmen entering UB in Fall 1998 already had a solid background in the use of computer - re lated so ft ware. Nearly all indicated they had at least basic proficiency with word-processing software (95 percent ) and usc of the Internet (91 percent ). About 84 percent reported at least ba sic pro'ficie ncy with email. A majority indicated at leas t basu.: proficiency with database software and presentation software (66 per cen t and 61 percent, respective ly). Only 9 percent of respondenl.s felt that a mandated computer purchase might have led them to recons ider applying to UB because their .. level of co mputer skill s wo uld put (them) at a competitive dW.dvantage ."

These simulations will help Gregg and other scientists begin to figure out how these eruptions contribute to the formation of the earth's crust, and to the whole sys- tem of plate tectonics, as weU as how the chemicals and sheer heat they unleash may impact climate change. "This is the place where most of Earth's volcanoes erupt," sajd Gregg. " We don' t think about it because we don't see them, but they are very important because they are constantly putting heat and chemicals into the ocean." Gregg bdiCV~:S she is the only scientist in the world wbo bas dedicated a career to figuring out what an ac- . rive undersea eruption looks like.

By reconstructing what undcnca eruptions arc liU, Gregg-hopes to help determine their impacts on the world, both above aod below the ocean's surface. Elfcctsofpasteruptions may have been nearly apoca· lyptic, Gregg said .. The aster9id that may have killed the dinosaurs was just one a.ample of how a species became extinct," she said. It may turn out that the in ten~ heat aod chemicals that undersea eruptions spew into the oceans and, subsequently, into the atmosphere .could have caused mass ex· tinctions as well, she said. Gregg noted that there is some evidence that mass extinctions, including the one that occurred at the end of the jurassic period, may have been caused by a massive increase in the rate of volcanic activity at mid-ocean ridges, which heated the oceans and ca used ocean basins to become more shal- low. That caused the oceans to flood much of the bod that was the dinosaurs' habitat. · once we have an idea how big these eruptions are, then we can estimate how much heat they put into oceans and during what kind of time frame," she said. During her trip, Gregg has been in regular communication with her students at UB, correcting homework assignments and providing fresh insights from her dives. So far, Gregg has reported back to her students about the unaported discovery of a fresh lav-. flow and a brand-new hydrothermal site she and her . shipmates dubbed "Bhudda's Pbce" after the submarine pilot's nickname. They also turned up evidence that a hydrothermal site that was teeming with sca.lifc in 1993 is now nearly dead, typical of the short life-span of hydrothermal vents tliat arc nourished hy the beat of indi vidual Volcanic eruptions.

With fats known to play a role in the-development of several cancers, Awad's group has been focusing on the phytosterols for possible answers. He reported at an international conference on can~ cer research in Greece last October that the phytosterol B· si to sterol appears to play a role in in hibiting the growth of human prostate-cancer cells by st rength ening an intracellular signaling system that inhibits cell division. The object ive of the c urrent study was to examine the influence of vegetable fats on the metabolism of testosterone in live r, testis and prostate tissue in rats. The fact t hat prostate ca ncer doesn't develop in men castrated before puberty or in men who have low levels of 5-a redu ctase sug gested to Awad's group that suppressing the action of the enzyme might be useful in preventing prostate cancer in high -risk groups.

Phytoste rols re · duced the activi ty of aro matase by 57 percent in the prostate, but had no effect in the liver or testis . Awad said hi s research team continues to examine exactly how phytosterols bring about these changes, but he believes one path · way involves the .. fluidity" of the membranes that harbor the en · zymes ... Every enzyme requires a specific fluidity in the membrane in which it resides in order to be activated," he said. " If the mem brane is too fluid, the enzymes may not function properly." Other options include the poss•bility that phytosterols compete with testosterone and its produc.ts of me- tosterols could inhibit these e.n - tabolism fur the enzyme's active re· zymes, the resean:hm fed one group of rats a standard, or basal, diet. A second group, designated the control group, ate the standard diet. plus cholic acid, which stimulates "the absorption of vegelllble fats. A third group ate a standard diet enhanced with a mixture of phytosterols, plus cholic acid The trial lasted 22 days. lksults showed that rats fed the phytosterol diet had betwten 33 and 48 pen:entless testosterone than the animals that recrived no additional phytosterols. There was no difference in serum testosterone levels betwe<n ceptors, or that they reduce production of the enzymes th<mselves. "At any rate, the combined effect of reducing levels of testosterone a nd the activity of its two main enzymes suggests that a diet high in foods containing phy tosterols could he.lp reduce the risk of prostate cancer," Awad said. O ther researchers on the study were Maria Sri Hartati, a master's student, and Carol S. Fink, clini cal assistant professor of nutrition. The research was supported by a grant from the Allen Foundation. 5 The millennium sans hype The millennium as a cultural phenomenon will be impossible to 1gnore during the next 10 month s, but you can rise above the hype with a few Web sites that eschew th~ frivolous and focus on schol arly or practical considerations.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

In Hadighi's award-winnirig work, a glimpse of the architecture in 2020 !If PAlliiCIADOHOVAN News SeMtes Editor N 1989, a natio nal compe· tition for a proposed "peace garden" at Hain~ Point in Potomac Pa rk in Washing· ton , D.C., ga rn ered mo re than 2,000 proposals from landscape archittcts, botanists and horticulturists across the country. In fact, the winning entry proposed a conventional garden of white flowering planu, bushes and trees lhrough which peace-seckingvisiton could meander. Pretty. Predidable. Nothing scary or "darey; either. Mehrdad Hadighi, associate professor of architecture, in col laboration with his wife, Shadi Nazarian , assistant professor of architectu re, submined a very different proposal for the garden. Their proposed " Peace Armor" would employ the materials and visual language of war to product a 160,000-square-foot metaphoric landscape in which the visitor co uld actually move toward, and then experience, a sense of peace. Their submiision called for the construction in wood of an el egant, open rectangular landing gro und ed in the bank of I he 'Potomac. Out of the landing would rise at a 20-25-degree angle, a long, svelte, armor-plated ramp. The landing appears to "la un ch" the ramp into spact where finally, it is cantilevered over the river to caHy th e visitor into a broad, open, empty, space that would alte.r the visitor's surround in a man ner conducive to contemplation. As she moved up the ramp toward its farthest edge, a visitor would tntverse a sleek, steel surface whose flat planes and riveted edges suggest the steel casing of a battleship, tank or bomber. The sur-face is designed to reflect the sky above, and as she progressed up the ramp, she physically would "leave" the earth and be taken into the open air, into a silence punctuated only by the sight and sound of the river below. .. Peace Armor .. is designed to physically replicate the meditative journey and to provoke a sense of "satori ..-enlightenment through a sense of universal peace and oneness -by "melting" visitors into a unified sensory landscape of sky, rdlectiV< ground and flowing w.>ter. T h e projec t received the competition's award for best conceptual design and was also named joint winner of the '"Landscapes for the 21 st Century"' competition by the American Society of Land scape Architects magazine. Hadighi joined the UB architec ture faculty in 1994, where today he teaches upper-lcvd graduate studios and seminars, along with courses for incoming freshmen. In 1996,hewas elected by a nationally recognized jury as one of six notable "Young Architects" in the U.S. by the Archi· tectural League of Now York. In his work, Hadighi says, he "investigates the nature of archi tectu re so as to uncover th e possibilities of architectu re, which architecture itself obliterates." Because he is, above aU, a conceptual architect, Hadighi's awardwin ning work represents an inves- tigation into the nature and possibilities of architecture iUclf. It is experimental, theoretical, investigative and architectjlra] at the same time and, as with the peace-park proposal, th""' is always more to his projects than meets the eye. His thinking and complex conceptual approach illusttate the changing world ofarchitecture, a world that the holders of the public purse are not as yet quite willing to embrace. '1te brings to h i s - pedlgogy I fresh- deslgn. ...He's been • gr.lnsplmlon to his studonts." BRUNO FRESCH1 It takes many years for an architect to be recognized , and more time to have his or her proposals actually constructed. Since he is you ng, Hadighi 's work offers a glimpse of the public architecture of the year 2020, an era in which the architects of Hadighi 's cohort, then in their '50s or '60s, will be· gin to sec their work become flesh. Bruno Freschi, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning. calls Hadighi"one of our really prized faculty memben and, I think, an extraordinarydesigna in his own right "He brings to his studio pedagogy a fresh and idiosyncratic approach to design,.. Freschi continued. "He's been a great inspiration to his stu· den~y of them haY< said that to me directly--and even more interesting is that he has an architec· tural practice as wdl. That's very unusual for the faculty of this ~ool" Hadighi is in private practice with Nazarian. Their firm specialius in the design, documentation and construction phases of residential, commercial and institutional buildings. The two architects, together or sepa· ratdy, also haY< been commissioned to design renovations and original homes h...., and in other states. Among his professional work, Hadighi counts a stint as project ar1 chitect jjx- Japan's Kansai lntmlalioml Airport Competition, out of which arose the design ofthe newmil<-long intematioaal airport built on a construcl<xlisland in Osaka Bay. While living neat lthata, he wori<ed as project architect, and befor"t'tha~ as a junior architect for several school-design projemand prMte residmcrs inCen· tral New York, Ithaca's Citizms Savings Bank and lOr Promenade, a 12· story condominium in 5araso1a, Fla.' The many prius he has received in national and international design competitions-too numerous even to list-indicate Hadighi 's prodigious gifts in several media. A 1995 prize was for "The World O utside." a limited edition handmade book later distributed thro ugh Printed Matter at the Dia Art Foundation , the only distributor of artists' books in the Un ited States. The book also garnered a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship for Hadighi, along w:ith a $7,000 cash award . Another 1995 prize carried a cash award from a German juried competition for best conceptuaJ desigri. His proposal was selected by a nationally recognized jury from among 500 mtries. Both Hadighi and Nazarian are trained in the fine arts as weUas in architectur~e in music, he in studio art and art history-<~ fact that they say informs their intenlis· ciplinary work. In fact, they have collaborated on a project called " REALtheaTER." in which they proposed to "construct" the threshold between theatricality and reality, the actual and the virtual In 1997, a project funded by a UB Multidisciplinary Pilot Project gnnt, was undertaken jointly by Hadighi and Henry Sussmao, professor of comparatiV< literatures. Together, they explored the poten· tial of textual space (S ussman's realm} to delineate architectural and urban strategies to support construction of unprecedented spaces in the City of Buffalo. In one of his most conceptual projects to date, Hadighi pre· sented at Buffalo's Big Orbit Gal lay a study of"hinges in time, location, construction method s, families and behavior.• This was articulated by a hinged, moving st ructure that could s imu.lt aneously define a specific space and hinge itself into a Oat W2ll form. rnschisays his students hav<done extraordinary work under Hadighi, gui<lana. They hav< entered national competitions that put them up against ca::dlent architects and stu· dios &om all over the country, and in many cases hav< come up with at least an honorable mention. "This is very unusual," rnschi said, "since the competition deadlines do not usually with the studio time frame. This places great pr<SSUl<' on the students to complete complex proposals in a rdativdy short time. " In ad4ition, he designs his work on the oomputer and is very up-to· date on the latest programs and techniques," said Freschi. "This is a terrific boon for the students, of course, and it's necessary because today a skilled designer must not only link mind to hand, but mind and hand to digital tools." Colleagues often cite Hadighi's intellect in describing him as one of the more interesting and provocative thinlttrs on campus. According to Freschi, "discourse is a passion with him." adding, "by dint of this, a very courteous manner and his engaging personality, he's brought a civililing air to the school• "You sec flashes of brilliance among young architects like Mehrdad." Freschi said, " He's brilliant, engaging, very creative, strongly grounded in professional skill , daring, full of fresh ideas, well-liked and seems to haV< a real p edagogi cal edge. He's exceptional. Keep your eye on him." conform �Feluiyll111/Vi.J.II.21 Rapa..._ Plans are dropped for WNED-AM to simulcastWBFO programming WIIIETOiia ly SUI Reporter Editor LANS for the financially troubled WNED-AM to suspend operations this month aod simuk:ast programming from WBFO 88.7 FM will not happ<o at thi.s time, said }enoifer Roth, WBFO general manager. However,whilethetwonona>m· mercia! stations will not pursue plans to apply for a gnnt to study ways they could work tog<ther, WBFO-UB's National Public Radio affiliato--mnains open to the two stations possibly working together in the future, Roth said. An outcry from the comrnunit y prompted officials from the Western New York Public Broadcasting Association (WNYPBA), owner of WNED -AM, WNED-FM and WNED- TV, to drop plans to suspend operation ofWNED-AM and haveWBFO'sprogrammingsimulcast on WNED. Critics bad called the proposal to suspend operations ofWNED-AM, the former all-news station WEBR-AM, another blow to local radio journalism. 1n the meantime, the WBFO Advisory Board has opposed plans for the""' stations to apply jointly for a Cocporation for Public Broadcasting gnnt to fuod a study of ways the public-broadcastingmtitiesin Westem New York might oollaborate. Roth said that although the WBFO board did not take a formal vote on the issue, it was the "sense oftheboard"thatWBFO"isastrong andsuccessfulstationmovingahead intherightdirection."Theboardfelt it should not do anything "that might change that direction ," she said. She stnssed that although the rwo stalions rumntly are not pwsuing joint fuoding. WBFO will a>ntioue discussions with WNYPBA regarding ways the stations might wllaborate in the future. "There might be projects we could do together that would be beneficial to the community; Roth said. She pointed out that while WBFO and WNED-AM both broadcast NPR's weekday news magazines " Moroing Edition• and "All Things Considered"-programs WBFO has aired since their inception and that had been picked up several years ago by WNED-the majority of the ""' stations' schedules consist of different programming, both locally and nationaUy produced.

Roth said that many Western New Yorkers might believ< WBFO is pan of WNYPBA and she hopes that will not impao WBFO's fund-raiser.

Asoftoday, there are (in Western New York) three noncommercial public radio stations, each filling a marker niche; that's aterrific thing," she added. " It's saying something about the people ofBuffillo that they are willing to support these three different services." We advocate all sorts of changes for the outside world, but wben it comes to change in our own environment. we're extraordinarily reluctant to rnake these changes," he notes. AL:ademics tend to believ< that "if you only bang on long enough, thi.s problem wiU go away and I can go back to doing what I've alway> done. But it isn't golng to go away," stresses Triggle. "We are going to have to mal« and not simply move on 110 the next toy in the sandbox, which we have a bad habit of doing," he says. For example. sina: UB has made a major invr:stment in the Center for Computational Research, that has to be a major focus of the llfliv=ity for · the immediate future, he says. "We have t'O see the romputer sciences and supercomputing center as integral to our future in education at the under· graduate and graduate level, in service to the community and in research. It has to he one of the things we now focus on," he emphasizes. "We've 'made it a priority by investing all our money. and now it's insane not to ron· tlnue to invest in that and make sure ""absolutely maximi7.e the benefits." In addition to the information sciences, Triggle identifi es three other areas in the sciences where UB should concentrate its resources: • Molecular biology. The 20th ce ntur y wa s dominated by the great discoveries of physics, and the 21st century will be dominated by molecular biology, he says. • Materia! science. This science will derive new materials that are supe· rior and have better properties than anything we've seen before, he says. • The environment and infra · st ructure. UB already has signifi. cant strengths in this area, includ· ing the Environment and Sociery Institute and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineermg Research, he says. Triggle notes that 10 the rc · sou rce·all ocation game, the liberal arts "clearly need a lesse r scale of mvestmcnt." In fact, UB already has anvestcd significantly in the liberal arts. he says, citing as an example the Center for the Arts. But the sciences "demand a scale of mvestrnent which is really so large that one must be careful in making an investment ," he says, adding that a more modest invest · ment in the liberal arts brings a bigger payoff for the university. Triggle c_,_,_, only monitor applications. but also wiU provide a longitudinal database of every graduate program so UB can compare its programs against those of other universities, he says. Neverthde.ss, failure to meet e.n· rollment targets will continue to bring a financial penalty, Triggle says, adding that with a Resource Allocatio n Methodology in place in Albany that links enrollment to resources, UB has little choice but to assign these penalties. To turn the decline in enroll· ment around , he says, UB must look at the areas that are not at · tracting students and ask a series of questions: ls it due to a lack of interest? A lack of quality? Is some· thing missing from the program, o r is there no further need for the program? Should it be smaller, or should it vanish ahogether? A failure to meet enroUment tar· gets, as well as the quality of a program, could be among the facto rs that determine which programs con tinu e and which ones are phased out, Triggle notes. But, that doesn't mean that priori· ties only will be deterJllined by "the bonom tine;' he stresses, adding that programs that do not pay for themselves may continue if the university decides it is irnponant to the institu· tion to retain them. Those decisions. he says, must be made "in terms of the context of knowing what it costs ... with full knowledge of all the variables and malcing sure those variables are known to everyone." Thellfliv=ity must be able to shift its resources to meet the demands of the student and the institution, he says. "Since we play basically a zerosum game, much of that shift of re· sources has to come internally; there has to be an internal decision to move resources from one area to another," he says, "And that's something that's anathema to the academic;~ don't like to make changes. Academics are a paradoxically conservative species. substantial dlanges~ The changes that he talks about are linked to the university's mission·review process, which the provost identified as another top priority. UB is in the final phase of refin ing its statement for submission to SUNY central administration. "The mission statement ought to be your guiding principle," he says. "The trick is to draw it in broad enough tenns that it provides you with the ability to still respond to the microenvironmental changes that are bound to occur in the next 25 years~ If UB fails to chart its direction and simply responds to what · ever happens , it .. will flounder around over the next 25 years. One has to rnake basic, strategic decisions about what the university is going to look like in the next century." Triggle prai~s former Provost Thomas Headrick's academic plan· ning document, calling it " key in providing, perhaps for the first time in the university, a university·wide planning mechanism that enables us to think about our future." With ever· tightening reso urces. UB must set its priorities and make critical decisions in terms of programs and research direction , he says. Headrick's document ha.s .. provided the basis for progres sive ly sharpening our focus on where we want to go." Some of those decisions will be easy to make. "We hav(' to learn that when we invest in something, we have to maintain that investment , 5 Wh•t Is the book th•t Vln<ent (John TraYOIU) is reading 10 " Pulp Fiction" ( 1994)?

The conference is presented in memory of the late Arthur and Louise Wasserman by Hillel of Buffalo. Co-sponsors are the American Jewish Committee, the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropy and the Jewish Student Union. Admission is $10 for members of the community and Si for stu- dents at the door: There" 1s no cost fo r students who register in ad vance by calling 639-8362. Rabin , who heads the movement Dor Shalom (Generation of Pea~ ). will discuss .. Pathways to the New Millennium" at 2 p.m . in Woldrnan Theatre. The movement, which aro~ in protest of the 1995 murder of Rabin's father, is dedicated to promoting peace in the Middle East and unity between the religious and secular right- and left -wing factions in Israel A younger generation views its nation's future path differently than did the previous one, which fought for Israel's independence, Rabin says. To those who were born after Is rael won statehood in 1948 and fo ught in the Arab-Israeli Wars of !967 a nd 1973, the younger gen eration feels it has a choice about Israel's future. Its goal is expressed in the slogan "Dor Shalom Doresh Shalom" (A Whole Gen eration Demands Puce), he says. Curreouy· living in Washington with his wife and two chiJdren, Rabin is a software engineer and product-line developer for the high-tech firm Emultek. Following Rabin's speech, six workshops will be held from 3:305:30 p.m. in nearby classrooms in Norton Hall. Major topics addressed will b< freedom of speech, retigious free· dom and freedom for all. 5peakm and moderators will include Rich When mail stored in the bold queue-mail received betwe~n 12:01 a.m. Feb. 7 and midnight Feb. 12-is released, it will be delivered in reverse order, with the most - r«ently received mail sent out first and the oldest, "stale" mail delivered last. Mail in the hold queue will b< streamed into the system during off hou~s. a process that was ex pected to begin yesterday, lnnus said. Unfonunately, not ~ery piece of email rectived since Feb. 6 will be recoverable, according to Marten s. He estimakd that as many as o ne out of four email messages received on Feb. 6 has b<en lost, with the most criticaJ periOd occurring between noon and midnight Du.rmg that period, th•log file also was lost, so there is no way for CIT to trace which messages wc-e affected ..Chances ar~ about 15,000 pieces of mail were lost , and unfortu nately, there's no way to tell how or to whom it happened ," Martens said uEveryone must be aware of that and try to deal with that." He recommended that mem bers of the univ~rsity community who b<lieve they should have been in communication with someone, during that period of time contact senders and ask that they resend any message that may have been transmitted at that point. .. Individuals have to decide in their own way if that 's something they need to do," he said. F.ven when th e central email server is up, running and full y functional , C IT will be working to make sure that something like this never happens again . C IT is in the process offo rm1ng a campus -wide committee that will be asked to review the ap · proach that was taken in the res · toration of the universit y's central email service, examine the central e mail system and recommend changes, including longer-term changes, such as replacement of the system, if necessary. However, US is not considering chdnging its central email system in the short run, Martens said. "O ur goal is to recover to where we were two ~ks ago, but with the appropriate changes to safeguard against aoother sysfem failure." CIT also plans take further steps to continue to improve the system, he added. Those steps include having the committee look at other large in· stitutions to provide some sort of b<nchmark of where they, and Ull. are in terms of email. uEmail is something most insti rutions at this point an'WOrking on hard , grappling with," lrmus said. "Th• big thing here is, with this experience, we need to review what the institutional strategy for email needs to be." Eartier, UB looked at the general approach olh<T institutioos are taking to their informatiolf-technologyinfrastructure str.llegy and budget. uwe knew where we were compared to other places, but we didn't look at specific systems like email and administrative systems. As we move forward with IT planning, we' ll be looking at those areas ," lnnus said Should UB have brought in out side help to sol"e the computer crash? "When you tisten fully to the details of what went on and steps that were taken to restore st"rvice, ev eryone will be in unanimous support of the expertise of our sLaff. That 's not to say we can't benefit from the input and wisdom oft he review committee," Martens sa1d. "We believe we're doing our best and our staff is highly qualified , but we welcome recommenda tions rar the future." O n Monday, Martens sa id he had '"a ver y high level o f con fi dence that we have a so luti o n to a full y resto red server." But he asked that the umvers1t v community be patient o nce m es· sages that have been stored begm to make their way from the ma il server to individua1 email a ccoun ~. ..

Email service Continued from ,.-ge 1 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR "What we've done as part of the restoration process is broken the file system into 12 smaller systems, and we ' re absolutdy sure that we 're not going to run into the same probl e m a s before ," said Martens. " If the (total of) 8.5 mil lion files wa s the source of the c ra sh. we won ' t experien ce it aga in. Thi s al so gives us a more manageable size if we uperience a problem again." Breaking the server into smaller sf stems also decreases the chances that all of them could b< affected at the same time, so that if another system failure were to occur, there would be a smaller number of files to recover. and restoration could o ccur in ''a matter of hours, not days," Martens said. The decision to shut down the server for the weekend wa~ made . Friday morning, taking into con · sidcration the limits of both the equipment and the people work ing to ftx the problem. "We took it (the centra l email server ) down tQ give people time and sleep and the resources and the wherewithal to bring the system fully back up," said Mar tens. The bulk of the work th'at went into toggling together a temporary server and restoring central email service has been performed by eight members of the CIT staff: Gretchen Phillips, Paul Graham , Lisa Maira , Matthew Stock, Stephen Comings, Steven Roder, Leonardo Miceli and Patricia Den nis. All are part of the UNIX sys· tern support group and have expert knowledge of the mail system, how it is constructed and how it operates. They also are the individuals who are most familiar with the soft ware company, Martens said. " People were working literall v night and day to restore service. We know how important email• ~ t o the universit y communit y." Inn us said. Martens added : " ll 's not an ex· aggeration to say they' ve been working close to IS-ho ur days. Some people spent ent ire nights here monitoring the system t o make su re the vital signs were there to assure continued progress of the recovery plan. ..On Friday, we decided to cut our losses short. take the system offline, rebuild it and give people a c hance to sleep a little bit.. .. When you're tired, you make mistakes." he said. Those people "are owed a tre· 1 mendou s ' thank you ' and a cknowledgment for their effort in sustaining this restoration ."

Weekdays , the universit y re · ceives new, incoming email at a rate of 160,000 to 180,000 pieces each day. \.Veekends, roughl y 60,000 pieces are received daily. The temporary email server that was in place last week was configured to allow users to read their mcommg mail and respond , but because the server was not co n · nccted with the permanent central email server, mail received could not he filed . So C IT set up a hold qu eut• to make a copy of each piece o f em ail received by the temporarv ser ve r.

" If we'd let the interim system continue, we'd haw acc umulated between 800,000 and I million pieces of mail," he said, and there was con ce rn about the server 's ability to handle that quantity. edu/ computlng/ •lert/ >. �Job placements 'promising' for '99 MBAs lly jOHN DU1A COifRADA Reporte< Contributor P REUM!NAitY job-placement statistics for the MBA Class of'99""' very promising. acmrding 10 staff of the Carttr Resource Center in the School of MaJl3!1"1'l"rlL Thirty MBA students ll3Y< been hir<d to date at an . , . . startingsalaryofS50.300. withrustudents reporting starting salaries of mo"' than S65,000.1f this tmld continues, it would marl< a dramatic upturn in starting salaries fOr UB MBAs, oomparod tothelMr.lll'salariesofJ'Hl and 1998 graduates, which"""" about $41 ,OOl and $42,00), respectively.

In the senate meeting to which Prof. Boot evidentJy refers, the point I raised was whether, should such a motion of no confidence arise at a (then) forthcoming meeting of the SUNY Senate, what would be the opinion of our local senato rs on the issue, since th e SUNY senators represent their colleagues' opinions-not necessarily their own-a point which occa sionally escapes Pro( Boot.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The major problem may simply be a lack of familiarity with it. Any art form with which one has no famil tarity wliJ seem difficult.

So much contemporary culture IS made to be easily consumed and readily disposed. The obsession with simplifying everything pervades not only mass culture, bu t also education and journalism. Complexity and difficulty are too readily frowned upon and that means our level of public-but also private-disco urse is disturbingly limited. The problem is that the emphasis on the accessible often produces very bland an that may be high on moral or emotional sentiment but lacks an mtellectual and aesthetic and ethical intensity. Besides, "unpopular" art can be the most fun and also the most enthralling. How should we •s re•den •pproach these new forms of ex pression?

What makes our program umque is that "'-'C have a core group of poet!~ and fidi on wnters who teach litera ture at the graduate and undergradu ate level.

Raymond F<dmnan has been for me a auciaJ presena in the program, so I greeted word of his retirement from VB with sadness, though I exp<ct he wiU continue to give readings and talks at UB. But focusing on the faculty misses what really makes the Poetics Program work-and that is our remarkable graduate students. The Poetics Program is especially designed to allow poets to work as literary scholars, while at the same time providing a forum for their continuing development as anists. The goal of the program is to produce graduates who art well·suited to teach both writing and literature classes, and who...., capable of combining aspects of the scholarly and artistic approaches in their criti cal writing and their teaching. This approach has produced poets and scholarswhoarehavinga ~and n=ry infiuena on the 6cld of lit· erary studies.

When you consider asking • poet to read here, wh•t do you look for? \o\.''hile I coordinate Wednesdays at 4 Plus. the writers are selected by all cor< faculty of the Poetics Program and we also consider suggestions by the graduate students in the Poetics Program. We try to pick writers whose \.\fOrk is relevant to our classes and who are not only able to read their work. but also to mc..'Ct with students. The key to the series is that it is student·centered.

For many US undergraduates, this is the lint chance they ba"" had to meet with poets and fiction writ· m and to attend li1=ry readings. Taking poetry out of a book and putting it into perfo~ is a crucial dimension for appreciat· ingUt<ra~ not just of the present. because the S3J1l< lessons can be applied to older writing. And getting to mc<t writ= and hear them talk about their back· ground and their work tends to personalitt what for many stu· dents maySttm a very distant OC · cupation.

"Thb experien(e argues for a course 's onlint' component to be Web-based and not email-based," she said. For students expected to email their assignme nts to professors. the crash has earned them a short extensi on on their dead lines, whi1e course listservs have been silenced temporarily. But on Tuesday, when Burhans asked the ISO st udents in her Com pUler Science I 0 I course how many of them were severdy ham pered by the crash , the answer sur prised her: Almost none . She also was surprised by the fact that about a third of her students said they had ou tside emai1 accounts, a point that makes sense, she said, considering many of them live outside the area and need to have an additional account for use during vacations and the summer. faculty, staff and students infor- mall y polled by the Reporr" sar that while they have been seriously mconvenienced by the email sys - tern crash. they have been able to work around the problems so far. But for others, the consequences are far more serious. One facu1ty member noted that there could be critical ramifications if email me~ ­ sages concerning grant applica tions or paper publications a re mtssmg. Of course, the longer the prob lem continues, the more se ri ous the consequences . "It'sacompletedisastc:r."said Hank 1. Bromley, assistant professor of edu· cational organization, administra tion and policy. ... It is as though someone came into my office in ttK: middle of the night, pulled things out of my file cabinet at random and threw them out and then left a note saying 'We'n: sorry, some unknown amount of your material is gone and we don't know what's missing.' This is comple1ely unacceptable." BromJey, who said he uses his email as a filing system, explained that he works "tethered to my email." He uses it to communicate with colleagues and students, and to organiu national conferenc.es, a task that n:oquires communicating the same message to many people at the same time ... The worst part of it is I simply don't know what rve lost." he said. Other faculty members reponed 11 was frustrating not to have email available, ospccially if students were trying to contact them. Mary flanagan, assistant professor of media stutly, noted that the crash wiU force people to think of how ex· tcnuating circumstances lik< th= wiU affect how they worlr. and teach. "W.'U have to think of aU the 'what ifs,'" she said. "So if the ........,. go<s down, wiU students be able to par· ticipate in an online learning environment and what are the altema· tiv<s? We'D have to design for that be· cause failures wiU happen." �february 11. 1!!19/'llll :m.lo.1fl Reporier Panel to refine censure proposal FSEC crea~ subcommittee composed offormer senate chairs 8y SUI WV£TCHU Reporter Editor T HE Faculty S<nat< Executive Committee has formed a panel com · posed of former chairs of the senate who currently sit on the FSEC to refine a proposal censuri ng the administration for its actions in folding the former Department of Statistics into the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine. The subcommilt ee, crea ted at the FSEC's Feb. 3 meeting, would have a range of options in dealing with the proposal , from sendjng it back to the senate to killing it. Th e proposal had been returned to tne FSEC for further work by the full Faculty Senate at its Jan. 26 meeting. Some senators speaking at that mee ting objected to censuring the abstract "adminis tr ati on," as opposed to specific persons o r o ffices. The censure resolution, which had been offered by John Boot, professor of management science and systems, asks the senate to censure "the ad mlnistration.. for not foUowing UB and SUNY procedures regarding the abolition of degree-gran ting pro · grams and for its "brazen disregard" of faculty input via established fa c- ulty governance councils. It also seeks the ce nsure for the .. actual steps taken n - the dismantling of statistic..:; as a department and its incorporation as a biostatistical unit within social and preventive medicine, ef- fective Sept. I, 1998. Bootuked to review with FSEC members •what I consider very false accusations made b y Profes- sor (Nicola..) Goodman against our chair." At the January senate meeting, Goodman, vice provost for undergraduate education, had insisted that the senate was in fact in formed of the administration's actions regarding the statistics department because senate C hair Peter Nickerson had served as a member of the committee that was created to recommend a structural organizati on for statistics, aside from depanme~tal status. Boot told FSEC members that Nickerson had served on the committee only at the insistmce oflrwin Guttman, chair of the former department, and in the capacil:)' of a medical-school faculty member who served on a medical -school pand that was considering the issue. "There is no document that shows that his (Nickerwn's) """"'ever was mentioned in the context of chair of the Faculty S<nate," he said. In any event, there was nothing to discuss with the senate "because there was no proposal made; it was in debate," Boot said, noting that paperwork on many topics under discussion on campus may be circulated to the chair of the Faculty S.nate but .. are labeled very carefully 'not for distribution'" to the rest of the senate o r any other group on campus. " Th e fact that o ur (c h air ) knows it does n ot mea n that it ts tpso facto shared . " In th1 s particular case, th ere was n o reason to assume that 11 would be shared and it 's certait1'1 y not lud icrous o n thr pa rt of Pro fesso r Nickerson not t o h ave s hared it with us. " He knows a lot , he d oesn't have to disc uss it a ll w ith us and he ca n 't. . . because it's in debate. " For Professor Goodman to stand here (at the lan.26 Senate meeting) and say it 's ludicrous . .. for Pro fessor Nickerson not to discuss it is re ally a misrepresentation of the sequence of events." Boot also challenged the sequence of events regarding the dismantling of statistics that Goodman had out lined at the senate meeting, imply- ing that documents had been altered and individuals had been added t o document -distribution lists after the faCL .. In this day and age of word processing, it's perfectly possib ly to add things later," Boot no ted. " I think it 's aU an indicat1on of fraud ," he cha rged .

Arkeilpane named director of athletics By LOIS BAKER News Services Editor R BERT Arkeilpane was in- troduced to the Western New York community as the new VB director of athletics during a press conference on Monday in AJumni Arena hosted by President William R Greiner. Arkeilpane was appointed to the top position in the D ivi sion of Athletics after a national search. He had served as interim director for the past !()months, succeeding Nelson E. Townsend, who accepted the position of associate vice presi dent for student affairs and special assistant to the president last year. "You can't possibly understand how excited I am that my jpumey has led me here today;' Arkeilpane told an enthwiastic crowd of alumni, staff and community supporters. That journey began on the Little League baseball and midget football fields of Amh=t, continued at Sweet Home High School and then Syracuse University, where Arkeilpane earned J bachelor'sdcgrcc in sp«ch commu· nianion and .....as a four-year letterman o n the van;ity football team. He also holds a nlilster's degree in sports administration from O hio University. Before com in g to UB in 1995 as assistant athletic director for devel opment and director of the Blue and White Club, he was assistant -.. athletic director for development at Miami University of Ohio· and at California State University at Ful lerton. He also held development positions with the University of Cincinnati Foundation and the UB Foundation during the 1980s. As director of athletics, Arkeilpane will have overall responsibility for all intercoUegiate athletic, recreational and intramural athletic programs. Working with the lmercoUegiate Ath letics Board, he will develop and evaluate programs and policies, de- velop strategic plans for establishing the UB athletics program in the MidAmerican Conference, and recruit, '"-"~--_j s upervise , a nd Al:kEI...PANE evaluate coaches and other staff. fn announcing Arkcilpane's appointment, Greiner said he was very pleased by the outcome of th e na · tionwide search. "We had a very effective search, which produced ex ceDent candidates from around the country," he noted . "Bob Arkeilpanc has a national reputation for excellence, is extremely knowlcdgcahlc and has an excellent reco rd of achievement here at UB a nd in h1s prior work. He is very well -regarded by his peers around the co untrv. "Bob's candidacy was strongly sup· ported by the leadership of the Mid American Conferrnce (MAC). and he has overwhelming local support, both at UB and in the We;tcm New York community;' Greiner said "He's the right person for the position as we complete the job of developing our Division 1-A athletics program." Arkeilpane, in turn, said that he has never encountered a lead~r who understands and vaJucs the rule:: intercoUegiate athletics plays in the ed uca tional m ission of an institu tion and the delicate balance he tween the two as has Greiner, and credit ed him with shepherding UR to its Division 1-A status. He al_.. o praised Townse nd 's efforts m at complishing " Mission 1- A." At this juncture, UB reminds hm1 of Syracuse in the late 1970s when the university had a great academic repu · tation but was struggling to regain ~~ athletic prominence. Arkeilpanc !talli. Noting that 45 percent of VB athlete> achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 or better during the Fall1998 semes· tcr, he pledged to aim for an equalh high performance in the athletic arena.

Stewart teaches limnology, the sciencr of bodies of fresh water. One of his research projects in volves st udying the freeze and thaw dates of lake ice as an indi cator of global climate change. That work has led him to d<vilop some skills in determining whether or not a lake's ice cover is safe to walk on; at UB, he has performed this sometimes risky servi<% almost every winter for the past 20 years. On a r<:eent expedition to test the ice on Lake LaSalle, be strode quickly out onto the middle of the lake. His guests stepped corefully behind him as swiftly as they dared. "'I'm not worried about the ice on this part of the lake." he said, noting that just a few days before, he had measured I 0 inches of cover o n the lake. Still, he decided to demonstrate just a few feet from shore how, when he's Jess sure of the conditions, he makes certain he's not putting himself in danger. He held the ice spud, a long rnd with a sharp tip, in both bands and slammed it down into the icc. '"This is the one-two-three test," he said. If the spud's tip goes completely through the ice on th< first slam, he aplained. i~! time to get off the ice because i~s ddinitdy not safe. If it takes two slams in the same spot to · b=k through the ice, Stewart said ynu have "a little margin of safety, but not much." If ynu slam it hard three times in the same spot and ynu can't Stewart cautioned, since ice thickness varies in'dilfermt locations, it must be rechedzd frequently. Thirty paces ou~ Stewart decided to take his first measurement.. He brushed the snow away from the lake's surface, then plunked down the ice auger and began drilling a hole into the frozen Ooor. He turned the handle. going deeper and deeper, then pulled it free. Just inches from his arid his guests' em, a small spring of water gurgled to the surface. Stewart stuck his meterstick down into the water. 29.5 centimeters of ice, or about 12 inches. "This is twice as thick as the maximum amount of ice we had all last year," said Stewart, adding that last year the lake was thick enough to walk on for only one week and there wen: 54 days of i<% rover, the fewest number sin<% 1975. He pointed out that last year also was a strong El Nillo year, a phenomenon that reOects differences in sea-surface pressure between the eastern and west= Pacific Ocean. When those differences are especially pronounced, that spells an unusually mild winter for paru of North America. 11tis winter, on the other hand, is La Nina, the winter followin~ E1 Nillo that usu;illy is characterized by colder weather with mor<: precipitation, which Buffalonians came to know all too wdJ ·earlier this year. "El Nino events vary in their impact and do not affect all paru of the globe equally," he said. "The biggest unknown is what the effect is regionally." To examine how different .-.gions are impacted by E1 Nino, Stewart monitors more than 250 lakes throughout New York State and hUDdreds of othen in other states. "l do these long-term studies to see whether lake-ice dates can serve as proxy indicators for climate change," he said. Strictly a grass-roots effort, the project began around 1970 when .w..-~oo-. ---....--of~-. _ ... loo_ .... .___ Stewart was loolringata fc:w of the Finger baka. From there it escalated. Stew.art obtains data from a vast network he developed of ordinary citizens who live near 1.akes be monitors. To find observers, he uses any method works, for that isliihg Ceri!rrals from local sporting-goods shops, post offices or from a local game warden. Through phone calls or postcards. the observen let him know when their lakes freeze over in winter and break up in the spring. According to Stewart, over the years, some of the lakes ha"" beg.ID to show one sign of global climate change: an earlier break-up ofioe in the spring. He praented so""' of his research n:suhs last summer ot a meeting of the International Limnology Society in Dublin. Asked wby he organiud the network of obo<rven, he said that the proj<ct provides him with a lot of climate informa- tion that be couldn't get any other way. He also enjoys making his own !aU-ice measurements, working in the beauty of nature, which is also sometimes a challenge. For example, when conditions on Lake LaSalle ·a ren•t gnnd, he makes sure to take along a life jack.et and a tobog- gan, which be can pull up to the edge of the ice_ Tha~s also wby he always takes scnw drivers with him, so he can "claw out" if he falls in. Luckily, he hasn't had an accident sin<% ljl, was a graduate studenL •1t"s. strenuous work and can be a little nerve-wnclring at times," he conceded. "But it's the most direct way to get this information. That's part of the lure of science." An•-·tu··~­ lwl<lldh_ond_ -ondlnocaaGtp!<>Gicllonlln . . . . ~ ton ond ~ .........

The senate, he said, should have "an agreement with the administration as to the approach to be taken, so that both the administrotion and the faculty !life confidence in the way such are handled.• Boris Albini, professor of micro- a+ biology and chair of the senate's Governance Committee, pointed out that the senate.' l charter states that the body should be "informed and consulted" on all proposals repding the formation, n:naosins, n:organization or dissolution of academic units. "I think i~s not really necessary to have new prescriptions before these old p.-.scriptions are followed,• Albini said Nickerson praised Senior Vice Provost Ken Levy for his efforts in informing the sen · ate about such matters. But, he noted, the issue is not whether the senate should be consulted, but "' when (at what point in the process ) sho uld the senate get in- volved." �lebruary11,1!!9/VIII.ll.le.ZD Repa..._ 5 The measure of an Olympian IDechsoa~awuvs Iii Janet& throurJ, ,..A..,...,.rl.., · of cha 'a!'5 says grace IS'·"'"""'~..}' ts true test a mpion ., JOietf LAVELU ~Contributor HOUGH she had won four gold medaiJ and a silver at the 1988 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona Olympi cs, swim mer Janet Evans says she did not really understand what being an Olympian meant until tht 1996 gamc:s in Atlanta, whert sht pl.ae<d sixth. Evans, the keynote speaker at the I Oth annual UJI Girls and Women in Spor ts Breakfast on Feb. 4, told those attending the b1eakfast that the Atlanta Olympics wiU always b< her favorite b<· cause it was there that she truly became a champion. A champion, shr said, "is having discipline in the traditional way. but also to b<l.ieve in oneself, to have class and grace through adversity." Evans had been chosen by thr 1996 U.S. Olympic Team to carry thr Olympic flam• to Mohammed Ali, who lit the torch before 60,000 spectators and I billion television viewers at the games' opening ceremony. Sht said that at that moment, as Ali lit the torch and she looked out over tht thousands or athletes, she understood that although some of them would place last in their events. "it didn't mili them losers, did it? That mad< them champions because: they were there trying their hardest , doing their best, repres<nting their families and their countries and their friends, who loved them. And that was it" Evans began swimming at the age of 18 months at the local YMCA. "I never remember not swimming," sht said, noting that she had rompeted in local swim meets because: her brothen oompeted bdon: her. But it was when she and her parents attended tht 1980 Olympics in Los Angeles that shr d.cided to rompete for a place on the Olympic A team. Fulfilling this goal meant yean or starting the day with swim prac· tice at 4:15a.m. until it was time for school, and then swimming another three hours after school.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Budget 'gaps' to have $6 million impact on.UB Pataki proposal fails to provide funds for contractual salary increases, inflation costs HE executive budget proposa l released by Gov. George PataJci last week· fails to provide money for SUNY contractual salary increases and inflation costs, a move that would have a $6 million impact on UB, administrators say. The budget, which Senior Vice President Robert ). Wagner de scribed as "not surprising," also contains a broad variety of"adjust· ments" in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) that would cut aid to eligible New York State students attending colleges and universities in the state by $1 14 million. The cut would affect approximately 5,000 students at UB to the tune of more than $2.5 million, Wagner estimated. The TAP program provides fi nancial aid to not only SUNY and CUNY students, but also to students attending priva te in stitutions in New York State. The governor has proposed a to- tal operating budget for SUNY of $ 1,589.3 million, an increase of only $1.6 million over the 1998-99 appropriation ofSli587.7 milli on. The proposal would maintain tuition at its current level. The SUNY Board of Trustees had requested an operating bud get of $ 1,631.7 million, a figure that Wagner said included inoney to cover negotiated salary in - creases (S32.2 million ) and infla · tionary costs ($ 11.8 million ). The amo unt of state aJlocation co ming from university income so urces--mostl y tuition-would remain at the 1998-99 figure of $768.1 million in the Pataki plan . The budget reduces by $56 mil lion-from $280 million to $224 million-the funding in the second year of the five -year capital budget plan. (See relotecl story, Poge 3) Wagner said that despite the cut , the capital plan was "still reason able," although th e goal last year had been to develop a five -yea r plan "with consistency."The Pataki plan .. begins to alter that," whi ch he caJJed a "ca use for concern." T he governor 's proposal allo ca tes $501.1 million for TAP, a fig ure that reflects a number of"ad justments" that are designed mainly, according to th e proposal. "to encou rage students to progress toward timely co mpleti o n of a n undergraduate degree ." Among the adjustments th ar Wagner said would have the most impact on UB students are: • Establishingan"expectedstudent participation" (ESP) equal to 25 percen t of tuition while providing a TAP award of75 percent of tuition. Students would be expected to meet the cost of the ESP through federal grants, campu s- based aid, work study o r student loans. Students now receive a TAP award of 90 percent of tuition and must fund the remaining 10 pc:rcent through the other revenue sources. • Redefining full -Lime study as 15 credits vs. the current 12 credits for receipt of TAP. Students enrolling in and earning IS credit hours per semester would receive full TAP awards. Students enrolling in IS credits but earning Jess than 15 credits would receive 80 percen t of a fuU -time award. • Conforming famiJy -mcome eli gibility used for determining TAP awards fro m the cu rrenl state net taxable income to th e more widely used federal adjusted gross income. Over the next ~raJ months. UB will need to look at its ongoing costs and determine how to manage them for J 999-2000, based on the fact rht· budget doesn't increase fundmg. Wagner said. He pointed out tha't the budget process is just beginning with the release of the governor 's plan. In the past, the legislature " ha ~ been supportive of moves to restart' programs for which we have ongoing obligations,~ of student access., including TAP suppon," he said. So what 's the next step? last week's release of the execut1ve budget is just the beginning of what most likely will become a "massive battle" for restoration of funding, according to )and. Prnk.sa, associate •vice president for university services responsible for US's state-relations programs and initiatives SUNY was not alone in taking a hit in this year's executive budget. Penksa noted at the )an. 28 Pro· fessional Staff Senate meeting . Hosp itals also were hard hit, which will affect both medical students and patients.

I hear from a number of parents because a student is having a problem in a particular class, the student doesn't know what to do about it and the parent is uncertain as to the best advice to offer. Unfortunately, in many instances, the student didn 't tell his/her parents about the problem until he/she was in a crisis situation.

I!IJII&InMnlly ~ I act ually have two pieces of advice for parents that cover two very different topics: Always keep the lines of communication open between you and your son or daughter. Let your stud.ent know that it's okay to share his/her successes and his/her disappointments with you and that you will be supportive and understanding, regardless of the situation. The Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal rcgu· lation written in 1974 and amended in 1975, stipulates that only students have access to tbrir university records.In accordance with FERPA, parents are not notified of students' grades. An open relationshit>between parents and students is, therefore, very important. It's so sad to see students who are in a aisis situation whose parents had no idea that there was a problem because, for whatever reason , the student never told them. My other piece of advice concerns credit cards. I have received several phone calls from parents concerning a student who obtained a credit card without the parent 's knowledge. It's -very frightening to see how easy it is for full-time students, the vast majority of whom have little or no income, to obtain credit in their own names. My advice for parents is to discuss the issue of a student having a credit card before the student staru school and periodically thereafter. do,_ like most ......

'IWicea year-in Sep- tember and~~ I think one of the biggest hurdles that first-year students face is developing the time-management skills that they need to meet the disparate demands of college life. While each student needs to find the proper balance between curricular and extracurricular endeavors, it is important for students to become involved in activities outside the dassroom. In order to do this and to also maintain good grades, students need to de.elop ef. fective time-management slcills. One of the most important items that every student needs is an academic planner to r=rd commitments, assignments, exams, etc. and to develop a productive study schedule. a 'parent ~.The~ which is sent to.!he parents of all undergraduates.

As a rcwult , she says. as dis tu rbing as it m ay so un d . you or someone you know al ready may be worki ng in a sweatshop. Historically, the term "'sweats hop" stem s fro m low - unsafe. miserable and dehumanizing c:nvironment like those that prevailod in the U.S. ganncnt industry a1 the tum of the century. This industry in the U.S. an d ove rseas again ha.s been indicted by la b or un ions and h uman · r ig ht s ac t ivists for the condi tions in which many thou sa nds of wo rkers labor.

All UB ethnomusicologist Olarles K<il asks is that you "give dance a chana." While many people today overlook the vitality of music and dance 1n daily life, Keil has made it his life. For 30 years. ths professor of American studies has coordinated so ng-dance -drumming classes at the university to teach students how to exp~ marC' of themselves sdves through human rites," says Keil. In keeping with this theme, his studies have tended to focus on music in Polish-America, Afro America, Cuba and Greece that stilJ suppons people's rites. An expert in applied sociomusi· cology and ethnomusicology, Keil has written five books and taught1 7 CO UI'SC$ at UB on exploring music's effects on hutnanity and society. He is working now on a documentary of Romani (gipsy) n\wiciaits in Northern Greece titled "The lnstru· ments," to be publishJI next ytar. A foundirig member"OfBulfalo's famo us Afro:La!iq ,flal_lc~ band "O uter Circle Orchestta," Keil con· ti~ues to practice what he preaches with the " 12/8 !lath -Band ~ and .. Biocentrics.• another Afro· Latin dance band. And although he plans to perform "until death do us part." it is oo secret tllat his true passion is fostering musical expression in young people. Keil 's method , which he calls " paideia con salsa," men to the Greek concept of restoring con sciously formed and pursued cul· tural ideals using Afro-Latin mu sic-dance as the focal point. He aplains that Afro-latin mu· sic-dance is the central tradition within all the Afr()-European syntheses that ha"" dominated 20th-=· tury music and dance. It has strong aflinities with styles that children al· ready are familiar with-rock, jazz. reggae. disco, salsa, soul and funk. Since 1974, more than 1,000 UB students ha"" jumped at tht chance to spend thrte hours a week drum· ming for academic credit in Keil's famous "Afro..Latin Musical Praxis" co urse . The popularity of the course has proved Keil's suspicion that a growing majority of American young people are deprived of cultural expression. .. Every semester I have to turn away highly motivated students who love music, listen to it constantly, but can't nwte:r the most basic coordinations after practicing hours and boun for a week,• says Keil. The problem, he believes, is that society needs to empower children at a young age to "drum, sing. dana: and dramatize superlatively well," especially in today's global era. So he decided to ~o ~mething about iL "My,.......,..._._ lsln I ~ ...... ....--, young people. toupnu -ot~dvough -rttes."

MUSE is supported by publi c and private grants, as well as by in dividual donors, induding such fa · mous musician s as B.B. King, Mickey Hart , Wynton Marsalis. Carlos Santana and Ani DiFranco. Keil says that in recent yeats. budgetary exigencies ha""tended t o eliminate musit:, arts and sports from the schools at the very time when they are most needed.

The life-lessons from such an ex perience are endless and can't be taught from books, aa:ording to Keil "Activity and participation in a music-dan ce traditi on prepares children for a life well-lived at many deep and mostly unconscious lev els-how to be in time. in tune, in graceful syn chro n y with ot h er people, how to be an energetic pres · ence and a shin ing individual m tight relationships with many oth · ers simultaneo usly," he says.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

We have several series, including the annual Slee/Beethoven String Quartet Cycle of six concerts, the Slee/Visiting Artist Series of five conce rts, the Slee Sinfoniena Senes of thret concerts and an Or gan Rec ata1 Series of five or six co ncerts . The Department of Mu sic sponsors between eight and I 0 fa culty recitals and a large num ber of st udent recital:,. What kind of performance b the biggest d raw? grom 1wil be .......... It depends very heavily on th e reputation of th e artists we wish to engage. While we usually plan a year to a year and a half in advance, there a re some artists we are conSidering who need to be engaged two or mo re years in advance. At the mo m ent, we are- finalizing o ur co ncerl se-aso n for 1999 - 2000. However, there a re cu rrentl y one o r two arti sts we are interested in .vho are 1n very high demand,and need to be contraded now for the 2000- 200 I season. Pmno a nd v1olin recital s tend to draw the best, especially if the per fo rmers are wcU -known . What 's the most challenging a.spect of pulling together each season 's schedule? One of the most challenging issues fa cing any concert presenter today IS how to creat ively "stretch " the budget in order to prese nt the highest qua lit y, which in most cases translates to the m o re expen S IVC, artbt s. I have truly enjoyed facing this chalJenge. II was very rewarding, for example, to be part o f bringing world -famous violinist Gil Sh aham to UB this past October. People raved over that concert for severaJ weeks afterward. What mu1k perfonnance at uti h..,• ,._ ..,foJ'ed most7 This is a difficult question because there are many concerts that I have enjoyed immensely for a variety of reasons. Last year, for example, the music department auditioned six st ring quartets for US's st ring quartet residency. Each quartet under consideratiQn performed one concert in the Beetboven Q uartet Cycle as part of the audi - tion procedure. All of tho~ concerts were very exciting. The Cassatt Quartet, chosen from that auditio n procedure, has performed a number of truly o ut standing concerts in Slee HaJI during its first semester as the Slee Quartet-in-Residence. The Slee Sinfonietta, UB's professional c hamber orchestra formed in 1997, has performed a number of very exciting and interesting con certs in the last coupl e of years. Another major highlight , in my opinion, was last year's captivat ing recital by Emmanuel Pahud, principal flutist of the Berlin Philharmonic . ) have never heard such mesmerizing flute playing! What are the best concert bets this year7 T here are many. The Cassatt has a number of concerts coming up that shouldn't be missed. TheSlee Si nfo n ictta wi ll present another co ncen as part of the M- 1 C..on · temporary Music Festival in April. Also, as part of that festival, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the world-renowned contemporary chamber orchestra from Paris, will be in Slee Hall performing one of only four conceru in the entire U.S. thU year. The Kionos Quartet will perform a concert in the Center for the Arts in March. -.ot got , _ lnt-ed In thetu... 7 When given the opportunity to sign up for music lessons in elementary school, my dad wanted to encourage me to follow in his foots teps.

Faculty urged to get involved in student clubs Increased support for organizations nealthy' for campus life, Dennis Black tells FSEC By SUE WUETCHER Reporter Editor S TUDENT academic clubs could be the venue for get ting m o re facu lty members involved in st udent life and fi ll a vo id that h;ls existed o n cam pus since the 1960s and '70s, a senior faculty member told o ther members of th e Faculty Se nate Executive Comm ittee at the group's Ja n. 20 meeting. During a discussion of facu lt y involvement in stu dent clubs a nd organizations, Dennis Black, vice president for stud ent affai rs, re co unt ed the history of studen t dubs wi thi n the SUNY system . Black noted that du ri ng the tur moil o n campuses that existed durmg the late ·60s and c:arl)' '70s. sys 1<.· m admin 1strat1on adv 1!>ed th<.' t.:a mpu!>CS to take a "hand!> -o iT o~p proach" with rcg<trd to student dubs amlurgamzatiOil!'> The ca m pu~~ wc.·rc told to collt>ct stud ent actlvtty fcc~ . th en tu rn th em over tt11hc !'>t udents, who were to d c:CJde how to spend the monl'y without any in stitutio na.l involvement. That decision, Black said, in effect stopped many forms of faculty involvement and advising for stu· dent clubs and organizations. .. What that did was create a di vide, a void, that has been in exist ence since then and leaves us today in a situation that is not healthy; it's not healthy for campus life and it's not healthy fo r the life of the clubs and o rgan izations ," he said. " It dearly doesn't prov ide the opportunity to be as helpful as it can in providing opport unities for out -ofthe-classroom. faculty -student m volvement." Desp ite th e hands-off mandate.' from SUNY, "t here is the realiza tum here and in o ther pla ces that we ca n mneast' the expenence for stud(.·nb and mcn.•ase the cxpt•rt c:nce for th t.• Lampus w1th greater mvolvem<.'nl (ol faculty 111 student duh~ a nd orgamzat1on.o; l," he sa1d. p01ntmg out that there already a rc.• :.onll' "~ u cccss sto ne!> .. of facuhv membt.•rs work.mg with stud ent orga n1 za ttons. This involvement is not to threaten student authority or redirect their funding decisions or membenhip requirements. Black added. .. It 's simply to say that we have so me thin gs to offer in terms of o ur experiences, in terms of support, enthusiasm, stability; it would be helpful to find opportunities for app ropriate in teraCtiOn In re-sponse to a question from C laude Wel c h . SUNY DIStin gUis hed Serv1ce Professor in the Department of PolitiCal Science. Black e-stimated that of the more tha n Sl mill1on m student activ It Y te<.'S expended b)' th e stud ent s tHl ca mpm eaLh year, a relativel y :. mall part - less than $50.000-is :.pt·nt to fund academic clubs. Welch suggested that many faculty mcmbeno would be Lnterested in becommg invotved U1 student dubs that haw "a dear academjc focus." He lamented the fact that the typical b ud get of many student academic clubs runs from $500 to S1,000 for the entire academic }rear. "I think there would be more and serious faculty interest and involvement if, in turn, the stu dents were willing say that 'gee, we havt a p riority with academiC clubs' in a way that does not seem to exist '3-t this time," Welch said. Black said that as an insti tution , UB aJso hasn't dont its part, mak ing decisions to support some stu · dent o rganizations and not others. .. Whether or not those invest ments have paid off is highly questionable," he said . For example, should the university be providing the same level of support to aca demic clubs o r honor societies that it is to G reek life? he wondered . Black said his office would be meeting with the Faculty Senate Student life Committee to discuss student dub funding priorities, as well as ways to increase faculty involvement in student dubs and organizations. �January ZB.l!l!tl/Vol.Jll.lo.18 Fa~ty senators delay action Y2K®UBm J)o I need to worry about word processing? on adininistration censure By SUE WU£TCHUI Roportor Edito< ER con tent ious de bate- including im pa.uioned pleas 6y sevral faculty members and a charge that the chair of the Faculty Senate was partly to blame for misinformation on the issue-the senate Tuesday returned to its Executive Commjttee for furth er refinement a proposal to censure the administration for its actions in folding the former Department of Statistics into the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine.

"the administration" for not fo lowing UB and SUNY proce d res regarding the abolition of d ru -granting programs, for its "br n disregard" of faculty input via es blished fa culty governance counci and for the ..actual steps taken (dismantling of the statistics department), which will come to haunt us in the education of our students, in the advancement of the science of statistics, in competitiveness of our grant proposals across the spectrum of health sciences and core campus areas.. and in our ability to meet the needs of New York State and wider constituencies for trained statisticians." Nicolas Goodman, vice provost for undergraduate education and an admitted participant in the administration's actions regarding the statistics department, opened the debate by dissecting Boot's resolution paragmph by paragraph. He criticized Boot's timeline of the events. noting that the decision to ,tempo· rarily suspend admissions to the OK given department's programs was made in a lett..- from then--Pro>rost 1bomas E. Headrick dated )an. 27, 1998, and not in 1995 as Boot oontends. He also pointed out that the doc toral program in statistics has not been deactivated, as Boot insists, an action that would require the approval of system administration. Goodman directed his strongest comments toward the senate itse:lf, noting that Chair Peter Nickerson received a copy of the Jan. 27 letter, as well copies of ..all documents of consequence in the dossier... In fact, he said, Nickerson was a member of the committ~ that was created to recommend a structure for statistics, aside from depart · mental status, and which discussed "a great many issues at great length. uTo say to me ... we failed to in · form or consult the senate is frankly ludicrous," he said ... 1sub· mit to yo u that part of what we're dealing with here is an internal dispute in the senate ." Nickerson participated in all of the committee's decisions regard· ing the statistics department, ubut Peter didn't choose to share that information with you," Goodman told senators. " No doubt that was a grievous fault , but it 's not a fault o n the basis of which you ought to be censuring the administration." Re spo nding to Goodma n 's comments, Nickerson said that he viewed his strvice on the commit tee as that o f a faculty member, not as the sena te cha ir, a1though he acknowledged that his role on th e committee was not dearly defined in the letter of appointment. Many of the is sues discussed were no t .. something for the sen ate to become involved with ," he said, adding that he also did not seek senate advice due to th e com plexity of the issue . "There is some blame on m y part," he admitted. "but I'm not sure what I would have d one differently." Some senators speaking against the resolution objected to censuring the abstract uadministralion," as opposed to specific persons. Several spec ifically referred to a mem o from Provos t David Triggle to Pruhably n o t. However. 1f you use da tes for .wrtmg or 10 spread !>hee l functton s. you should evaluate your software. Also. wo rd · pro cess mg files can be corrupted by noncompliant ope rating systems Nickerson m which Triggle stated that it is .. totally inappropriate for 'the administration' to ~ coll ec tively censured and that h e hoped Boot would offer a new resolution .. that names specific individuals that he deems worthy of censure." Triggle aJso offered to discuss his role in the events, "'absent a Is there a list of hardware and software that I don't have to test or worry about? Unfortunately, no.

Dennis Malone, SUNY Distin guished Service Professor in the Department of Electrical Engi neering, called a collective cens ure "an absolutely silly thing to do." mathematics, disagreed, describing the administration as"a well-defined entity; lik< "the faculty." While indi- spo~ibilities of specific offices may appropriate to cite the administra· tion," he said, calling Triggle's memo "specious" and "not of use as a serious basis for any action that we take." President William R. Greiner said he was offended by talk that the university was censuring ideas, and that any request by Triggle could be co nsidered as "specious." Greiner tojd senators that if they did no t want to name specific in· dividuals to be censured they could name specific officers or offices. A collective censure .. rues in the face of any notion of fairness and due pr<><:es.s." he said, suggestjng that the theme of the senate debate sho uld be about "the sen ate's co ncern for process and coUegiality."

He volunteen:d to head the list of those to be censured if senators insist nn the censure resolution, and told senators they oould add the names of Triggk and Headrick as wdl "You"d belter address that. and be willing to hear from David {Triggle ) or else. frankly,thisbodywilldl<honor itself." thl> BrieBy vidual administrators and the re - change the fad that the administration is responstble for the major decisions governing the university.

We duck, but sometimes they hit us right in the head with an appalling visual assault, then in the brain with an agenda destined to horrify young RepubUcans. Like their predecessors, they use new styles of visual art and borrow old narrative fo rms--myth , legend, parable, and even Saturday morning cartoons-to makr their point.

I through the efforts ofAssemblyman Robin Schimminger, the HCBC also has been able to hire an experienced MAGINE Buffalo, Rochester and so uthern Ontario as an internationally recog· nized corridor for innova- tion in health ca re, with UB as a critical component. That's the vision that led 10 the formation of the new Health Care Business Center (HCBC), a joint vmture ofUB and the Health Care Industries Association that will allow the region's heallh-<ar< indust<y 10 capitalize on marketable products and pi'<X%SS<S that develop from research at UB, Roowdl Park Can= Institute, Kaleida Health and the Catho~c Hospitals. According to the Health Care Industries Association, a nonprofit organization designed to support and promote the regionaJ health care industry, this corridor repre- sents the fourth-largest meilical deve lopment market in North America, with more than I00 research institutions, 265 medical manufacturers and 95 hospitals. Strategically located in Cary Hall in the School of Meilicine and Biomeilical Sciences on the South Campus, the HCBC serves as a focal point for fostering n~ opportunities between locaJ companies and UB r<S<archers--whether they are in the schools of meilicine, dental medicine, pharmacy, engineering. management or arts and sciences. "Locating the Health Care Business Center at the hub of medical research at UB is key," said Luke Rich, vice president/regional di rector for the Empire Stare Devel opment Corp. More than half of the inventions registered with th e UB Office of Technology Transfer have been in the area of health care. But, explained Rich , getting to the next step-where an invention is refined, adapted and mar keted-is hardly a utomatic. "Traditionally, the diffi cult y with academic research is in mov ing it from the paper or project stage to the product stage," he said. That's a complicated process, he said, and that's where the Health Care Business Center can really help. The HCBC will work closely with the UB Business Alliance's new With state funding, obtained technology-transfer liaison. .. Hiring someone who under· stands the methods of transferring the research and knowledge gained by the r<S<arch community at UB and Roswell to companies that can tum them into products, grow new jobs and expand is one of the most important functions of the Health Care Business Centc," said Rich.

Weimer, who worked for I0 years at MDS Matrx. most recent1y as di - rector of the international department-says that the kq to a flour ishing health -care sector in Western New York is networking. "The whole foundation of th e health -care indust ry is netwo rk - ing," she said. "People like to do business with people they know ." To that end, the HCBC is putting out the welcome mat to both local and regional health -ca re companies and to UB researchers. ..The mort we learn about how professors work and develop research, the bette we will be at hook- ing them up with business people." she added "This is a hotbed of opportunities fo r coUaboration; we've got to make sure that starts happen ing with the goal of keeping business in Western Nl'W York."

BrieDy Researchers to conduct study on health risks of police work Researchen In the Sc.hool of Medicine and Baomed1cal Sciences have received a one-year grant from the Nataonallnstitutt of Occu pational Safety and Health to conduct a pilot study on health and psychological stress among Buffalo police offilers. Tht goal of the project is to determine problem areas of health and stress, and provide a starting point for developing servaces to help po lice officers. Results of the project may be used as a model for police agencies throughout the U.S . Previous research has sho wn that police wo rk is a high-stress, high risk occupation and that the health of officers is affected adversely by such co nditions. Psychological stress experienced by officers may have an impact on personal hea!th . family life and work performance. John Violanti, clinical assistant professor of social and preventivt medicint and a 23 -year police veteran, i.s tht lead researcher on the project. Violanu has conducted several research projects investigat mg potential health risks of law enforcement.

Task Force root in the spring of 1997, when the Faculty Senate's Affirmative: Action Committee recom mended its formation to address issues pertaining to race separately from those pertaining ex· dusively to women. The recommendation was en · dorsed by the full Faculty Senate in November 1997, and the rec· ommendations were forwarded to the president. At that time, the Faculty ~nat~ recommended that among Jts du ties, the task force consider salary inequities; recruitment and retcn · tion of minority students, faculty and staff, and indusion of minorities in po~cy and decision -making, and recommend solutions a.s they may seem appropriate. Focus of the Task Force The Task Force o n Racial and Ethnic Diversity at UB will assess the campus climate regarding racial and ethnic di versity, assemble and analyze data on campus progress in th is regard, and advise the president on steps to improve our performance in this area. In particular, the task force will advise on: (4) Methods of identifying, en couraging, developing and retain · ing leaders from underrepresented groups; (1) Improving the ca mpu s climate for racial and ethn ic minorities, with full consideration of the special needs of diverse and underrepresented groups; (7) Means to assure that faculty, staff, and student governance bod· ies reflect the racial and ethnic di· versity of our society, and (2) Possib le d~leterious effects of past university policies and practices regarding racial and ethni c diversity in our campus community and steps to remediate any such effects; (J) New or- revised university policies and practices regard· ing appointment, advance ment, co mpensation and re· tention of faculty and staff, which may be necessary 10 ...prder to assure that UB's fac · ulty and staff reflect the ra · cial and ethnic diversity of our society; (S) Recruitment and retention of a student body reflecting the racial and ethnic diversity of our society; (6) Methods for developing a cam pus environment that is free of ra cial and ethnic intolerance; (&) Developing processes of re · spo nsibility and accountability at all levels, and from all members of the US community, regarding our progress in achieving a campus whose popu lation reflects and celeb rates the racial and ethnic diver· sity of o ur society. The task force will deliver an tn · terim report to the president on or about Dec. I , and co nclude its work at such time as determined by the president after consultation with the task force and other ap · propriate co nstituencies. The task force shall bl' com prised of five fa culty members. three professional-staff members. two classified-staff memht:rs. three students ( undergraduate, graduate and professional ), and two community mem · hers.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

BRIEFLY L OOIGNG fo r the best way to di sseminat~ informa tion about your campus event? Look no further than the o nline U Btvents calen dar. Launched in July, the interactive and searchable calendar takes ad· vantage of the latest technology to make it easily accessible to mem bus of the un iversity community and allow them to publicize their events more widely. The database also is the fo undation from which th e Reporter calendar is compiled! A unique feature of the calendar is that information from its dat.aba.se can I>< sorted based on topic. kqword or email account of the indi· vidual submitting the info"!'"tion and display<d as a customized calendar o n another Web site. The School of Nuning has crttted such a calendar by pulling the entries submin ed by registered usus who are faculty, staff and students in the sc hool. This capability a ll ows submitters to manage digital assets by avoiding redundancy in calrndar creation and aUows events to be publicized !><yond the scope of a departmental or school Web page. Creation of the interactive and searchable o nline events calendar was an initiative of the university's Web Team that involved work by professional staff and student as · SIStants in the university's Office of News Ser vrces, EJectronic Mc-dia Uni t in the Office of Publi ca tions and the Office of Comput - mg and Information Technology. The calendar"s amplementation has involved an even larger col laboratio n , s1 nce its success and effectiveness involves input of in formation from representatives of schools, departments , centers , programs, offices and student organizations located on both cam puses and at affiliated teaching hospitals. More than 170 individu · als on campw already are contributing items about events held on a.mpus or under UB sponsorship. UBevents can be viewed anytime, anywhere by anyone wh o can access UB Web sites via the lnternet. ll provides instant information that can I>< identified by day, week and month. The online calendar also is in· stantly search able. information can I>< searched based on factors that include keyword, date, range of dates and location. It also is searchable by the type of event: academic, alumni, athletics, con feren ces, exhibits, films, lectures, intram u rals , meetings, performances, readings, seminars, stu dent events and workshops. The online calendar is available through a number of Web sites, including a link on each secondary page of the UB homepage, <http:/ / www.buff•.- >. the homepage for UB Wings <"ttp:/ / wlngs.bufflllo.- > and the Of· fice o f News Services Web si te < http:// www.buffalo .edu / news >. Users enter information for the calendar on a Web-based submis- saon form , which is available at <http:/ / wlngs.buff.....edu/ ul· ..-/login> and may be used by anyone with a UB UNIX email ac· count. Instructions on how to submit information to the calendar are availa bl e at <http: / / wings. buffalo . edu / calendar / lnst ruct.htmb . Thc>K wishing to submit information to the calendar first must fill out a registration form that includes a protected user name and password for their university email account, and indicate the categories of events for which they are requesting submission dearance. Registration is instanL To use the fonn. submitters each time m ust enter their user name and the associated password , which prevents anyone outside UB from submitting information and anyone from submitting information under the guise of someone else.

Easley is a public health dentist, an associate professor in the Department of Oral Health Services and lnformatics, a specialist in the fluoridation of drinking water and the ADI<s designated spokesman o n the issue. He is also directo r of the Webbased National Center for Auoridation Policy and Research, which was made available to the public two months ago. The $ite contains approximately 1,000 links to l•temet sites that provide access to everything you ever wanted to know about fluoridation, as welJ as information that you'd probably rather avoid-hundreds of antifluoridation sites leveling charges at fluoridation proponents ranging from mass medicating to conspiring with communists Some of thcsr sites refer to ley by name and not in friendly terms. In addition to advocating the public-health benefits of flu o· ridation, ~ is a high - profik de - nker of the specious claims of gro ps who oppose it. .. the antifluoridation folks," Eas ily said , ''I' m Pub lic Enemy Number 1." From a public·health perspec· tive, fluoridation is clearly a success story, and Easley is happy to tell it. "Fluoridation prevents up to 70 percent of cav ities in communities where it is ava ilable," he stated. "It makes no sense to have people experienct a disease when there is a very easy and economical way to prevent it." The National Center for Auo· ridation Policy and Research <http://-.- · -·- / ncfpr> serves as the only com pre· hensive central repository for in· formation on all aspects of fluori · dation. Easley said he created it as a resource for scientists, educators, public officials, organizations, the media and the public to provide access to timely and scien tifi cally based information on the issue. The Web site is particularly useful to communities preparing to fluoridat e their water. It contains case studies from already flu ori dated commu nit ies, transcripts of lawsuits filed against them and sci entific st udies on fluoride 's safe ty. With his background and cxperi · ence in public health. Easley often is ca lled in to help such cummu nities get started. He helped the State of Califor· nia write its 1995 bill mandating statewide fluoridation. He also worked with the State of Delaware , which recently passed a fluoridation mandate, to develop public· health messages aplaining the benefits of fluori dation and to combat false or mis leading information disseminated by antifluoridation groups. These groups are adept at tailoring th~ir message to the sensi · bill ties of each comm unity, Easler sa id. "Sometimes it's the anti · biggovernment argument. Some · tim~s they will concentrate on th e concept of forced medication . Then there are th e contrived arguments that claim fluonde is re sponsiblc for every disease known to man; that it is a chem ical pol lutant, a toxic byprodu ct or a car cinogen. There is no scientific ba SIS for any of these da1ml>."

Hunt , who received a master 's degret" from UB last yea r, also re-ceived his bachelor's degret" from UB. He- says he created the- "neverfaiJ delicious rectpes" section of his We-b sit.e as an undergraduate because, at that time, he and his room mate were having so much fun cooking that he wanted to I'TlaU the recipes available to friends. "That , a nd I found the sectiOn an easy target for some collegiat e humor and I can never resist an easy gag," he adds. Recipes are divided mto several ca tego ries: Little Snack}· Things.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

George PallllO to a<atea <X>Op<rative research instit'Ute to advance work in mioo· bioengineering and pharmaceutical biotechnology already under way at the two institutions. Provost David Triggle says the initiative will serve as a catalyst to spur economic development and job creation in the region . Supporters envision the ini tia· tive as building on the strengths of UB and RosweU Park in the phar· maceutic.aJ sciences in order to .. lay significant groundwo rk for a stronger biotechnology enterprise in Western New York"'..akin to the North Carolina. The plan, announced by Pataki in his "State of the State Address" on Jan. 6, would be the first, formal , joint, technology-<levelopment program between UB and RoswcU. It caUs for funding two separate high-technology facilities-<>ne at UB devoted to micro-bioengineering and one focusing on pharmaceutical biotechnology at Roswell Park. The labs would be created in existing space in both institutionson the UB South Campus and in the new Medical Research Complex at RoswcU Park-and would feature research-and-development space, as well as bwiness-incubation spa~. The result, according to the UBI ing a number of research projects with commercial potential current1y under way at UB and RosweU Park. and potentially serving as a magnet for economic dcvdopment initiatives in Western New York." ln announcing the initiative, which is subject to legislative approval during the state budget process, Pataki stressed that it "draws on the area's strengths: An aceUrnt univttsity, a world-class research hospital and the substantial presence of bio-tech in· dustries and ccpertise from Toronto through Buffillo, Rochester and Syra· ruse. Our hope is this incubator plan will help grow new industries for Western New York and new hope and new jobs for the future as wdl." Triggle, who was instrumentaJ in drafting the initiative, said it is designed .. to capitalize on the existing criticaJ romponmts of thCSC' (micro- bioengineering and pharmaceutical biotechnology) enterprises currently in place in Buffalo and to use this catalytica.Hy as a spur to economic development... Triggle added that development of the initiative jointly by UB and Roswell Park .. is a critical signal initiating a new era of cooprlation between these two major sources of research and imellectual cap1· tal growth in Buffalo." The UB/RosweU Park proposal notes that the pharmaceutical saences have been ..deemed a crit1 · cal component in America's future competitiv~ness." FSEC notes displeasure at trustees' action By SUE WUETOIU Reporter Ed itor T HE Faculty Senate Ex- ecutive Committee bas gone on record voicing its displeasure with the SUNY Trustees' adoption of a gen- eral·education curriculum for the system's four university centers and 13 four-year colleges without consultation with the campuses. The FSEC, at its last meeting of ~e fall semester on Dec. 16, unani · mously approved a resolution ex- pressing appreciation for the SUNY Trustees' extensive consultations in the development of standards for the undergraduate academic program. On the other hand, the reso- lution also expressed regret that the standards adopted by the trustees were not made available for com· ment by faculty in advance. The SUNY Trustees on Dec. IS adopted a general.education cur- riculum that requires candidates for bachelor's degrees to complete at least 30 credit hours of coursework in mathematics, natu ral science, social science, Ameri can history, western civilization, other world civilizations. humani ties and the arts, foreign languages, basic communication and reaso ning,and information management. The requirement will apply to all freshmen entering SUNY insti tutions in Fall 2000. Trustees left the responsibility for establishing the specific course requhements and content of the curriculum to the facu lty of each institution . President Will iam R. Greiner told FSEC members that although djscussion on the topic of generaJ education had been going on within SUNY for about two years and had involved the SUNY Faculty Senate, as weU as some indi - vidual UB faculty members, he had expected that the final proposal on general-education requirements from SUNY Provost Peter Satins would be submi tted to the indi vidual campuses for comment before going to the trustees for action. But th e final proposal came "very quickly," and was sub mined by Satins directly to the trustees for action, Greiner reported. He called that action .. not an in significant event for state university. .. I can't recall the SUNY Trust ees at any time in the past adopt · ing a specifi c c urr ic ulum pro - posal," he said. " My sense is that the expectati on. especia lly on a curricular matter, is that it would have been referred to the campuses and campus officers would have referred it to the faculty, who would have responded ... that was not the way it was done," G reiner said. .. My main concern," he added. "is you folks were not afforded an opportuni ty" to respond . Neither Greiner nor N1colas Goodman, vice provost for under· graduate education, found fauh with the substance of the curncu - lum per st. " It 's an en tirely unremarkable. conservative, perfectly acceptable outline of a general -education curriculum ,'' Greiner said. ca lling th e general-education requm.· ments of UB's CoiJege of Arb and Sc1ences .. somewhat more expan sive"but ..consistent at every turn" with those approved by the trust ees.

McLeer, pro fesso r and chair o f the Department of Psychiatry, found that more than one- third or•• group of 80 sexuall y abused children who weren't referred for psychiatric evaluation by the investigating agency were suffering with the disorder. Results of the study appear in the December issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psycl1iatry. "These kids suffer in silence," Mcl.eer said. "They don't get referred for treatment after experi encing sexual abuse because they aren't viewed as having a need . Their behavior isn't out of control and they aren't suicidal "This study shows, however, that they are at very high risk for PTSD. We believe there should be a system for sc reening aU sexually abused children for PTSD and that those diagnosed should rea:ive treatment specifically targeted to the disorder." PTSD is a specific form of anxiety that comes on after a stressful o r frightening event. Some of the abuse or psychiatric problems. children in the Mcl.eer study diagnosed with PTSD also had sepa- Theirs is one of the first studies to investigate the effects of sexual ratio n anxiety and major depression.

These results wer< markedly different from those fowtd .in either of the two romparison groups, Mcl.eer noted. In the psychiatric referral group. 2.6 per= I reported re-experiencing trauma, 9.1 peroenl: reported avoidance behavior and 13 perant bad symptoms of hyperarousaL In the school group. I pera:nt reported ous symptoms of PTSD, although the symptoms didn't meet the cri - teria of the full -fledged disorder. PTSD is especially harmful for children, Mcl.eer said, because it may cause them to miss growth-promoting expcriene<S that are crucial for transition into healthy adulthood. Avoidance, one of the three major categories of PTSD symptoms, is particularly p~lematic, she noted. "Oilldren with PTSD may shrink from people and things that aren't dangerous and are often critical for their social and oognitive development These youngsters experience a triple whammy: the initial sexual abuse, the direct e!rects of the PTSD symptoms themselves and then the avoidance behavior that may result in iost. aperic:nc.cs important for success throughout life." To arrive at their results. Mcl.eer, along with coUeagues at the Medi cal College of Pennsylvania, compared psychological profiles of 80 sexually abused children between the ages of 6 and 16 with 77 nonabused children being seen in psyc hiatric ou tpat ient clinics for other symptoms, and 73 school children with no history of sexual - petrator was at least five years older than the child. AUdlildreninU...studycomplet.ed several standardized tests to identifY PTSD symptoms. Results showed that 29 of U... sexually abused children w= diagnosed with the disorder and within this subgn)up sevmol also exhibited separation anxiety and/or major depression. Only one child in the psychiatric group was diagnosed with PTSD, while none of the school children met the full criteria, al though some showed subthresh old symptoms of the disorder.

There stands a domed observa· tory that rot ates 360 degrees and has a sliding shutter on the roof that peels back to reveal the bril · liance of the night sky. UThis telescope puts us in a far better teaching situation than we were ," said Bernard Weinstein, professor of physics who teaches Physics 1211122. "Fo r the first time, I ca n assign a semeste rlong project to stu dent s where they learn to align the telesco~ . ~the right eyepieces and take pictures with it." Equipped with a digital camera, the new, 10-inch reflecting tele· scope allows students to take pic· lures of the sky and then down load them to a laptop computer so that they can study and refine the 1mages later to obtam tft e best view. Weinst ean said the fact tha t the tel~ope is controlled by a computer makes it much easier to loca te speci fic object.s in the sky. "Afte r an initial alig nment on the North Star. you punch in the coordinates {right ascension and declination ) of a faint object, like a galaxy, nebula or star cluster, and the telescope turns to that loca tion," he said. That~ he added, is an ..enormous improvement" over the older telesco~. which sometimes required several hours' work before a faint object in the sky could be observed. "Also, because of the new telescope, one of the objectives with this cou"" is realizable: That is, to give student.s enough knowledge and experience with telescopes so that they can pursue astronomy as a fascinating hobby after they leave UB." Weinstein noted that the addjtion of the new telescope makes US's introductory co u rse-its only offering in astronomy--competitive at the introductory level with other universities that offer full-fledged astronomy programs. University facilities staff constructed a wooden deck fo r the observatory dome, with a steel platform to support the telescope.

Goodman did note, howeve r, that tht language requirement in the trustees' plan could prove to be a .. sticking point .. for students in professional schools such as engineering and architecture, but that likely could be worked out with Sal ins' office. "I don't see this (general -ed uca tion curriculu m ) as a crisis in substan ce, alt hough it is absolutely outrageous that this was adopted without letting anybody (the campuses) know a h ead o f time ," Goodman added. W illiam Ba umer, proftsso r of philosophy, suggested the FSEC "go on record" acknowledging the extensive consultation process that went on in the development of the standards for the undergraduate academic program, but also expressing it.s"regret they (trustees) put this set of criteria before themse.lves for action without giving the faculty of the ~niversity the opportun ity to comment. If all we do is sc ream 'you screwed up the process,' we are going to make ourselves look like fools" because central admin · istration afforded the SUNY Faculty Se.nate and other groups many opportunities to participate in the discussion, Baumer said. ..1 think the one place where we can fault the process is ... this rather precipitous action" by the trustees. Powhatan Wooldridge, associate professor of nursing, urged scna· tors to separate their views regarding the process from their views regarding the substance. " I do think it is possible to condemn the process without necessarily condemning the outcome,.. he said. The resolut ion introduced by Baumer ..complements"the beginning of the process, which Wooldridge described as collegial and consultative, and ..condemns" the final resolution of that process, .. which is simply an unwarranted. unkindly, inappropriate, counter· productive and noncoUcgiill way to end what had a good beginning." Greiner asked senators to study the substance of the trustees' gen eral·education curriculum so UB can give a "'very careful, very mea· sured response to aU of this. All right, so they didn't ask us in advance; but we ought to treat it as if it's stiU on the table and respond to it" Peter Nickerson , senate chair and professor of pathology, said he would consider wheth-er to refer the issue to the senate's "overloaded .. Eduaotional Programs and Policy Committee, or to create an ad hoc committee to address the issue. In other business, the FSEC approved a resolution congratulating Thomas E. Headrick, who stepped down as provost effective Jan. I, .. for his substantial contributions to the university's academic p~ in his term as provost." The resolution notes in particular Headrick's"effcctive advocacy" on behalf of the for· mation of the College of Arts and Sciences., his efforts to recruit new deans, his work on the mission planning statement and, "most significantly, his academic plan." 1 Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Natu ral Sciences and Mathematics before it merged in to the new College of Arts and Sciences.

Peacodr. Publishers, Inc., and soon to be translated for use in China, the textbook haS been revamped a nd expanded to reflect today's chang ing m odel of th eory and practict of social work. Selected portions of the book will be used by the Chinese students as their tint text as they embark on their social-work education. Traditionally, social workers have been taught to focus on their inter· action with clients, whom they perceived as "victims" ofbirth, circumstan<z or society, Shulman says. This model virtually ignored positive factors, such as a need for different types of supervision, availability and use of community resources, as well as clients' motivation, strengths and coping skills, he notes. But the emergence within the past few years of managed health care, mandated welfare reform and other societal changes have demanded a readj ustment in the way social work is practiced and is being taught, he points out. Drawing on Shulman's rich experience and research as a social-work educator. the edition advances theory and practice models that acknowledge and incorporate recog- nition of, and building upon, dients · strengths and learned coping skills. Shulman's tat was selected for USt' at the Ollnese uni versity by Net work Norway Council and fac ulty members at Norway's Oslo College tn con · junction with Col· lege of Social Work faculty members and the Chin<>< Ministry of Civil Administration. The textbook has been a staple in the classroom and in the fidd for more than 100,000 social-work students in the U.S. and Canada since it first was published two decades ago.

U B has expanded its student/faculty interna - tional education effort to include fonnal aca- demic exchange programs wilh China's Hangzhou University, Maharaja Sayajirao University in India's Vadordara Gujarct State, South Africa's Univer· sity of the Western Cape and the University of Havana in Cuba. Stephen Dunnett, vice provost for international ed~cation, said the universities involved in the new exchange agreements are among the finest in their re· spcctive nations. The new programs reflect a st rong effort by Kerr y Grant, d~ of the College of Arts and Sciences, to fur- ther ibternationaliu UB. Grant said be is doing this by expanding the university's exchange offer· ings and by strengthening and diversifying its under- graduate and graduate populations of interna· tional students. UB-Hangzhou University (China) UB last year signed a com- mas. TWo UBstudentswere enrolled in the program in the FaU 1998 S<!mester. prehensive exchange agree· ment wi~ Hangzhou University, the largest· comprehensive university in China, UII-Mihlnja Sllylljlrao UniYenlty ot Baroda (India) The summer of 1998 also marked the establishment of U!l's first comprehensive that wiU help strengthen UB's Chinese and Asian exchange prog·ram with a studies programs and better university in India, the architecturally beautiful Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India (MSU ) . The exchange originally was suggested by MSU alumnus Muchand Patel, professor and chair of the UB Depart· ment of Biochemistry. MSU is one of the major ~rve the growing number ofUB students interested in Asia or in professional op- portunities in that region. The first UB faculty mem ber to participate in the exchange was Barbara Bunlc<:r, professor of psychology, who deliveml a series of lectures at Hangzhou last spring. Hangzbou offers a broad variety of undergraduate-, gnduate- and professionaldegrteprograms.lt was one of the first universities in China authorized to confer master's and doctoral degr<es. The university is an active participant in more than 50 international programs. ln the last decade, more than 1, 100 Haogzhou faculty have been sent abroad for advanced training, as weU as to give lectures, conduct research and attend confer- compfehensive universities in India, enrolling 35,000 students in bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs across 13 faculties. Unlike most Indian univ~­ sities, MSU incorporates extensive research .activities on its teaching campus. The university attracts stu· dents from all over India and from overseas, particularly to its highly regarded programs in the fine arts, performing arts, education, home science. management. technology and engineering. MSU will send a member of its performaJ>« faculty to UB this spring as a visiting artist and UB expects to enroD students at MSU in the fall UB-Unlwnlty of tavana Ag.--nent (Cuba) • The landmark exchange agreement signed last summer by Grant and Yolanda Wood, dean.of the Univ=ity of Havana Faculty of Arts and !..etten, was the lim of its kind between UH and an American university since 1959, the year Havana fell to the revolutionary forces of Fidel Castro. The agreement oommits UB and UH to the joint development of a Caribbean Studies Program with an integrative and interdisciplinary nature for the purposes of amducting r=arcb and teaching. it already has launched S<!Vtral ini- tiatives. UB-UnMnlty of the Western cape (South Afrka) UB has a formal memorandum of agreement with UWC dating back to 1995 and is in the process of de- veloping the programs stipulated under the agreement. These include join·t research, staff and student ex- changes, exchange of research and of teaching, learning and informa- tional materials and other ventures. Although a steady stream of academic and ~ trativevisitors&om UB ODd UWC have visited one anothen' campuses since 1995, limited dormitory and home spaceh- fumgn students at thus far has pre.mted the enrollment ofUB students. The University of the Western Cape (UWC) was founded in 1960 specifically to cater to the colored population of South uwc Africa's Cape Province, who_, then barred from attending ")mite" institutions. UWC's first stall' was primarily whit< and supported apartheid. but by the late 1970s began to..,. ject the ideological grounds upon which the univenity was founded.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Wallace notes that between 30·45 percent of the 500 varsity student athJetes at UB on averagc arc co nsidered "sc holar ath letes"-earn ing a GPA of 3.0 or higher in graded courses during any particula r semester. That percentage is "considerably higher than the percentage of the general student body," ad& Dennis Malone, SUNY Distinguish«! Service Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and NCAA facuJty athJetics representative. Coaches of Division I teams e~ ­ pect a certain level of performance from their athletes, Wallace says. noting that leads to significant demands on thc athletes' time for practice, competition and travel. " To deal with that and the academic demands (of UB) is a real feat." he says. AI. faculty athletic representa· tive, Malone describes his job as "trying to represent the interests of the athletic program to the fac ulty and the interests of the fac ulty and the academic program to the Division of Athletics: He points out that the NCAA'j motto stat~ that student athletes an stu· dents first and athletes second "Int...... of the,.._... . . . . . . ....,of 8thletes, the ""'-s-ty ... a...- ........ be. proud of the ........ perfor1nMKe of Its athletes." DlNNI') M ALON ( .. Maybe I percent of st udent athletes even get a look by a professional spo rts tum ," he says. "That's something our students perhaps understand; they take the (NCAA) mono quite seriously." The Office of Athlete Academi c Services has put into place an aca demic suppo rt program that is designed to " maintain the aca demic integrity of the (a thletics ) program," Wallace says. Each team is assigned an aca· demic advisor and team members can avail themselves of tutoring and mentoring programs. As freshmen, they participa te in a co urse similar to UB 101-but geared toward athletes-to help them learn about the university. The office staff includes a leam mg specialist-a doctoral student &om the Department of Counseling and Educatiooal Psycbology- who worb with othletos aperi<nc· inglearn.ing problrmsranging from learning disabilities to ah inability to get organized to poor study skills. The office also is in contact with athletes' instructon at least three times a semest<r, which gives staff a good indication bow students are doing and allows them to help correct problems before the students get into real academic trouble. Wallace says that the real key to athletes' outstanding perfor· mances • is the sense of commu· nity and connection and support among themselves. " II ma..kes a difference to kids when a professor knows their name and asks them how their mom aod dad are doing," he says. Malone dispels the widely held notion that athletes generally are concentrat<d among easy majorrthe "rocks for jocks" syndrome, pointing out that the distribution of majors among athletes at UB is in no way different than the distri· bution of majors among the gen eral student population. "There rea.Uy is not an Casy rna· jor at UB." adds Wallace, noting that a surprising number of athJetcs major in engineering, considered a "fairly inflexible" course of study. Malone notes that people mali,< generalizations when it oomes to athlet.s-"the big. dumb guy is one." But these people "sirnply haven't looked at what the faru show," he says. " In terms of the general aca demic quality of athletes, the uni · versity can be, and should be , proud of the academic perfor mance of its athletes." ~ communltypubllhed by the Office of News SeMces in the DMslon d UniYenily SeMces, S,-llniYersity d Now VOlt It Bui!Jia. ___ Edlt.orialollic<sft It 136 Crofts Hall, ~ (716) 645-1626. - Athletes at UB are top performers in classroom, too --.-.... ,_ Carole Smith ,_, ~­ ---- .. --....,_ --lob-- lllnf-::...~Suo- Ot-..VIdll JoonllioNig RIIteccofomlwn ....... -Daocwon .....,._s,o.. ElllriCoioltoum Mira McGinnis UB stroke researchers develop new technique Method to measure blood rate-of-flow will be used to treat brain malformations By LOIS BAKER Nt>WS Servtces Ed1tor new tt•chmqul' for de termmmg the rate of blood now, developed by researcher s at th e UB Toshiba Stroke Research Cen ter, will enable neurosurgeons using digital radiographic imaging to ch aracte ri ze and treat cere b rovascular abnorma liti es called arter iovenous malformation s (AVM s) more effect ively. The new method, called dual contrast injectiOn. which has not been used elsewhere for this co n dition . was described Nov. 30 at the Radiologi ca l Society of Ame rica annual meeting in C hi ca go by lead researcher William Granger. a UB physiology and b1o physics doctoral candidate. Ncurosurgeons w1th tht· Toshiba ce nter have used the procedure on 21 pataenh, w1th no comp lications. An AVM is a tangle of fragile vessels in the brain or spmal co rd that forms betwe e n an artery. which carries oxygen~rich blood to the brain, and a vein , wh1ch drain s oxygen -depleted blood back to the lun gs for replenish ment. It creates a short -circuit be tween the two ci rculation systems. A shunting blood directly from the artery into the vein, effectively by· passi ng the brain. An AVM can leak o r rupture if tt isn't treated. The condition is thought to be co ngenital, and is diagnosed most frequently in young adults, Granger said. One way of treating AVMs, and the method of choi ce o f neurosurgcons at the Toshiba cen ter, is to seal off the entrances to the blood vessels nourishing the AVM . ca ll ed feeding pedicules, with a glue -like substa nce. With the feeding pedicules sealed off, circu lati on resumes its norma l path, full oxygenation of th e brain IS restored and the threat of bleed mg or stroke is eliminated. For thi s technique to work maximall y, neurosurgeons must be able to gauge the exact ra te of blood flow th rough the AVM so the y ca n de termine the transit time of the glue from the injection po tnt to th e site to be blocked . They then ca n formulate the glu ang agent so it hardens at the proper point as It is carried along by the b lood flow. This ensures that blood flow is blocked to the AVM without occludi ng the main artery or vein. Current techn 1ques for deter - mining rat e of blood now use two app roaches, both involving inject ing a contrast medium into the AVM through a tiny catheter threaded through the large artery in the groin until it reaches the damaged area. The contrast me· dium is tracked via digital X-ray imaging. One approach involves injecting a solub le contrast medium , which is effective in showing the internal contou.rs of the vessel and its twists and turns, enabling neurosurgeons to determine dis tance through the AVM . But be ca use the con trast medium dis solves and diffuses into the blood stream, it does not produce a dear. leading edge necessary to track how fast the flow is moving. An alternate approach uses a non · soluble contras t medium : small droplets of a poppyseed oiJ based agent containing radioactive iodine. These droplets provide the necessary leading edge to provide precise information on speed of the flow. But beca use the contrast medium doesn't dissolve and fill the vessel , tracking the oil droplets alonc provides no information on the path, or distance, the drop has traveled, which is necessary for determining the rate of flow. G ran ger's idea was to adminis ter both contrast media simulta neously. Dual contrast injection allo'!s neurosurgeons or neuroradiologists to gauge both distance and tim!! with one interven tion. He said the technique never has been used elsewhere for determining the rate of blood flow inAVMs. "The two methods together aJ Iow more exact means of deter mining ratc of flow," Granger said. "We can determine the exact timc for the glu e to rea c h the ar terioven u s junction. Our method is more accurate in deter mining flow ve:locity than either single soluble or non · soluble in jections alone." Additional members of the re search group were Afshin A.

And, she says. if she ruled the world for a day, she would mal« sure that prevention efforts began with eduClting new parents how to adequately and effectively function as the major inOuena: in their child's life. Phelps, who has written more than 60 book chapters and journal entries on assessment issues and health-related disorders in children and adolescents. says she is strongly committed to investing in community prevention programs. .. If we want to make a difference, we need to begin working with threc· year-olds ," says Phelps, professo r and director of US's School Psychology Program in the De· partment of Counseling and Educational Psychology. .. Long-term problems ofte n develop as a result o ( inadequ ate parenting and a fauh y environment, rather than from bio logical differences." Her interest in p~tion surfaced t•a rl y in her ca reer while she was working in a dinkal setting with a 3S-year-old paronoid schiwphrenic. "There was so little that cou ld bt• done to help the patient ," she reca lls . .. It became so abu ndantly clear to me that if we want to make a differen ce, we have to start doing something at the ch ild o r ado lescent stage of development." Ea rli er this year, Phelps edited a S gui debook published by the American Psychologieal Association entitled"Health-Rdated Disorders in Children and Adoles cen ts" to he.lp educa te teachers, school psychologist$. clinieal child psychologists and medical professionals about 96 different medical conditions affecting children. Phelps' most rC'CC:nt research interests have involved adolescent eating disorden and their prevention, the effects of prenatal cocaine use on early child development, and ass~ing the cultural bias of intelligence te:su. She has done extensive research and programming on the pervasiY< social problem of eating disorde.rs, which, she notes, have increased dramatically in the past 20 yean as a direct result of our sociocultural influences, particularly the mtd.ia. " Look at Marilyn Monroe," she points oul. .. Ou r sense of what is beautiful has changed. Today, if yo u look at women in ads, as weU as female actresses and performers, it becomes evident. Many of th ese women would meet the cri teria for anorexia... The most common misconcep· tion about eating disorders like anorexia nervosa-and bulimia, she notes, is that they are rare or in· dicate a dysfunctional individual. "The truth· is that this is a fairly common phenomeno n, but it also is a ' hiddm disorder; meaning those who are affected tend to hide their symptoms," says Phelps. "Fifteen to 30 percent of women participate in behaviors that can be characterized as eating disorders at sub-clinical, rather than diagnostic. levels." Based on her research, she has found that the most effective way to deal with the problem is direct prevention programming for both female and male young adolescents that identifi es risk factors while reducing elements that may put adolesa:nts in jeopardy. She links sociocultural pressures to the acceptance of a thin, yet unrealistic ideal which, if internalized, can lead to body dissatisfaction and the motivation to take part in weight-control or· eating-disordered behavior. ..As ea rly as 12 years of age, yo ung women with self-doubt and low self-esteem are psychologically vulnerable to body dissatisfaction, which can lead to eating disorders," Phelps notes. A prevention package she .and a research team developed has been very sUccessful in reducing the risk fo r adolescent females and young women to develop an eating disor· derby building physical self-esteem and personal competence while reducing body dissatisfaction. She also fou'od that it is essential that prevwtion incorporates males but the sessions need to be done in separate gender groups. The presence of males during the sessions decreased the amount and depth of group discussion and self-disclosure among the female participants. The program, which also was adapted for coUege students in sororities, is outlined in a book chapter titled "The Efficacy of an Eating Disorder School-based Prevention Program: Building Physical Self- Es teem and Personal Competcna:," which will appear in an upcoming han dbook on the prevention of eating disorders. Acxording to Phelps. it is important to focw on prevention in the school-setting, since schools today are becoming more of a socializing agent. She adds that society cannot depend on parents to tili the ap· propriate amount of responsibility in children•s development. "The attitude has always been that school s ars just for educa t ion. However... many behavioral, emotional and psycbologieal problems can affect academic performance." Many communities are: moving toward the idea of a fuU-service school, Phelps points out. "Schools are b«oming a place where stu dents receive much of their health care, including mental-health care." - - phone I1UIT1bers and Computing and Information Tedlnolo9Y Is osldng for the IJilillonity community's cooperation In molc01g sure that the Information contoined In the diroctory ls ~ Updating Information in the dir<ctoryls~AA«Iogglng in, clidt on "update" to bring up the fonn that will- users to update penonallnlormatian and insert their ptOf..-red email ada....

Martin 's D paper~ and memorabilia, preserved in the UB Archives, are helping preserva tionists in the.ir efforts t o re to re Graycliff, the summ er home fran k Uoyd Wright designed fnr Ma rt in, his longtime friend and patron, and Mart in's wife, Isabelle. The arch ives' extensive holdings related to the planning. building. dCcor and use of Graycliff in its heyday-incl uding letters, blue · prints, photographs and interviews with family members-also arc expected to enhance req uests by the Graycliff Co nservancy for funding fro m state and federal fund ing agencies, private founda tions, and corpora te and individual donors. Bu ilt in 1929 on a 60-fool-high gra)' shale cliff in Derby. overlookIng Lake Eric 's eas tern s hore, Graycliff is cons idered to be one of Wright 's most overlooked mas· terworks. The residence was an ;ury. open, sunlit dwell ing wrapped in elements of its natu · rat landscape. It originally was sur· rounded by 8 acres of trees, hid · den gardens and grassy meadows. Graycliff was abandoned by the family in 1941 . however. and th e Piarist Fathers occu pied the house for decades but co uld not afford upkeep and repair. The propert y is now held by the Graycliff Co nservancy, which is moving to re· store the residence and ga rdens. But str uctur a l changes in the o riginal property and the sale of all its fu rniture would, under most circums tances, make restorati o n to its o riginal state very difficu lt . ln Oc tober, the UB Archives helped to move the Graycliff restoration process along through a sym· posi um titled "Frank Uoyd Wrighl in Western New York... Speakers ex· amined lesser-known aspects of SCV· cral of Wright 's buildings in Buffalo and Rochester, including Graydiff. In connection with the event, the archives also has mounted an ex.hi· hit ion ofGrayclifT plans and photos from its collection. The exhibition will be open through January in tht• Pot·tr y/ Rare Books Roo m . 420 Ca pen Hall, dunng rt•gular bus1 ness ho urs. Rodney Obien, a~ 1 s t ant to Un ive rsi ty Archivist C hri stop her Densmore. was largely responsible fo r the exhibition. While preparing for it, he turned up some hereto fore u n iden t ified plans in the Co rnell University Library that are certain to inform the preservatio n and restoration efforts. The discovery of these plans. coupled with the archival photos, Obicn said, will make it possible for the Graycliff Conservancy to replicate the fine ga rdens while the house is restored. Graycliff should be understood in the context of the popular archi· lecture of the day and Wright's own canon, preservationists say. US's ex tensive collectio n of letters be· tween Wright and Darwin D. Martin illuminate the coll abo rative manner by which the two men and Mrs. Martin debated, disagreed and determined th e final plans for Gra}'Cliff as an infinitdy more comfortable home than the family's residence on Jcwctt Parkway in Buffalo, according to famil y consensus. Craycliff's Ooor plan and room o rientati on, which the letters indicate were suggested by Da rw in Martin, recall those of the then· popular English ma nor hou se. Wright employed aspects of this basic plan, but added innovations like native construction materials, and opened the entire structure to lake breacs that cooled the interior and made vast expanses of lake and sky visible from many rooms. Cantilevered balconies, so loved by both Wright and Martin, are seen in photos to open over the gardens and onto the lake above a cliffside esplanade that helps meld the resi dence with its natural environment. Interviews with the Martins' grandso n, Darwin Fost-er, and his sister, the Rev. Margaret Foster, who spent their childhood summers at Graycliff, are held in the UB collection and provide a rare and intimate ldok at the relationship between a home and the fam · ily that appreciated and enjoyed its most engaging features. Darwin Foster called Graydiff"a beautiful place. A wonderful place. We all just loved it there.... We had one whale of a good time in those days." Margaret Foster recalled that when the windows were open on both sides of the house.

Boot praised the work of Guttman, notingthatbewuastellar scholar and bad been a "competent and constructive chairman" of the department. He also introduced a resolution for a first reading, accq>ted by the senate, stating that "any and all as~rsioos cast on Or. Guttman's r:enure as department chair from I993-98 are an outrageous assault o n the truth." Both of Boot's resolutions will he considered for a second readingand final senate action-at the body's n<Xt meeting in fanuary. Earlier in the meeting, Claude Welch, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of f'o. titical Science and chair of the senat<'s Academic Planning Committee, had submitted to the senate a report on the statistics situation compiled by his committee which deplored the lack of faculty consultation in the de· cision-making process. C ommittee member s arc "deeply concerned about the two- way nature of dialogue about the future,"Welch reported. While faculty have the responsibility to eogage in meaningful discussions. in which the possibility of suspend ing or even eliminating programs "is not ruled offthetable," administrators, too. must engage in that process, he said. '"They must recognize that they may not he persuasive to all, that 'talk takes time,' and that the best health of the university not only involves malting difficult decisions, but also requires extensive atten tion to effective governance,"Wek.h said. "The dKisions on statistics in· volved far less of the serious, in formed, open dialogue they should have received, at S<'Veral points." William George, professor of mechanical and a.erospace engineering. described the statistics situation as"a colossal history of mismanagement over a period of 25 years. "I don't know what we can do about that except to insist that the administration in the future fol · lo w our bylaws,"' he said. The charter of the Faculty Sen - ate states th at "The Sena te shall review, pnor to ad option, all pro · posals regar.d ing th e formation , reorganization or d isso lut ion of academic units." He introduced a m o ti on. ap proved by the senate, to accept the Academic Planning Co mmittee's repon and to instruct ~nate Chai r Peter Nickerson, professor of pa · thology, to communicate to the administration the senate's "extr~me displeasure.. that th e proper procedures regarding fa culty con sultation as outlined in the Faculty Senate charter were not followed. Provost Thomas E. Headrick. speaking to the full senate for th e last lime as provost, declin ed to comment on Guttman's remarks, but noted that the universi ty community .. was well aware of these plans ( to merge statistics with SPM) for over two years time .n If the issue was no t .. properly dis - cussed or brought befor< the Sen · ate,l will take responsibili1y for thai as appropriate,.. Headrick said. He also told senators that he be· lieves that m ore of the decisio n- making authonty-both for finan - acs, and devdoping curricula. re- cial and academic matters--should ~s hifted from the Provost 's Office to the schools, and wathtn the schools to thedepartments, .. where th e reaJ faculty mvolvement m de · cision-mak..ing ought to occur." He 5ald he has bttn working to search initiatives and outreach ac · OVJUe:s to suppon an envuonmcn redefine the role of the Provosl's Of· fia as one in which the offict ident1 6es projects that an of acadmuc 1m porta.oce to the university but that are not being pursued. and to act as an advocate for those proJects.

In other act10n at luesday's meeting , the scnat{': • Approved a resolution askmg President Will1am R.

TheMuiiMEi1 J We cannot afford to be complacent: all departments need to focus on Year 2000 problem To the unlvenity community: As you know, the Year 2000 Prob- lem (Y2K) presents a major challenge to our university. UB's environmt"n t is so dependent on computers.. and the computers are so interconnected, that o ne small Y2K "gli1eh" could well impact numerous systems. We cannot afford to be complacent. Eac h department and/or node-including research labs, support those processes. This re· sponsibility inevitably means that your unit will have to defer some current and planned activities for I 999 and focus those resources on solving this problem. UB does not have special o r central reso urces available for it; that is unfonunatc, but true. Fixing the problem nex1 year should be less expensive than suffering the consequences and po· tentialliabilities after fan.

Headrick, Provost Robert J. Wagner, Semor Vice Preudent UB community can impede Iranian government's goal to close the open university in Iran To the unlvenlty community: 'file university community is being asked to assist in blocking the Iranian govmunent}s goal to dose the Baha'i university in Iran. The Baha'i Institute of Higher Learning was started in 1987 after Baha'is had been refused admission to rolleges and universities in Iran since 1980. It is the only es- tabtishment of higher education forBaha'isin !ran. Theyhaveheen denied admission to aU other universities in Iran solely because they are Baha'is. This action by the Iranian government is a campaign to crush academically and economically the Baha'i community, which preme Leader Ali K.hamene1 signed the document. The policy has resulted in over 200 executions of Baha'is for their religious betiefs, the most recent being in July of this year. The elintioation of higher education is part of this plan. Exclusion of Baha'is from universities is in dear violation of Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( 1948) and Article 13 of the Interna- Cultural Council in 1991 , that was uncovered by a special represen- tional Covenant on Economic. Social and Cultural Rights ( 1966). The Baha'i Institute of Higher Ed u ca tion operated mainl y by correspondence and grew to enroU more than 900 students and !50 facult y o perating in private homes. The University of Indiana recognized it formally first. Stu· dents cam{' t o the USA and Canada for graduate studies. Their course work had be co r1_1~ ~o re up- to-date than other universitieS tative from the United Nations who was investigating human rights abuses. The Iranian Su· in Iran. Suddenly belween Sept 29 and Oct. 3, 1998, 36 faculty and staff were a rre sted . O ver 500 is the largest minority religion in Iran. This policy was confirmed by a secret document called the .. Baha'i Question," wrinen by the Iranian Supreme Revolutionary ho m es were ratJed , dnd rL·cords, computers and other equ 1pment were confiscated . This system at1 attack to close a private institution of higher learning is another co ntravention of Article 13 of thL· In ternational Coven a nt o n Eco nomic, Social and CulturaJ Right s. ln th{' words of o ne student "AI· though they were soon released. dur· ing their imprisonment they were commanded to stop the activiues of this university rompletely for Iran government beli{'ves that Baha'1s should no t educat{' more than h1gh school. We (new students) had only a f<'W clalsesdunng a month, but they were aJl dosed and now we havt to study o ur subjects in home and do o ur homework assignments accord - ing to the schedule handed to us a1 the beginning of the semesler. The conditio n is much worse for higher· level students, who had to ane.nd more daises and study more difficult subjects. Thus, as you may guess. a state of mental bewilderment has come to enstenct' to Baha'Jstudenb and no one knows fo r sure what'sgo mg to happen m•xt ...."

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The development marks the first of this technology, ca lled a high -resolution region-of-interest USt' microangiographic digital detector. for viewing sten ts ·placed inside blood vessels in the brain. The stcnts can prevent stroke by shor- cists. biophysicisu and radiologists. Scientists at the Toshiba Stroke Research Center are in the forefront of research into intravascular treat· ments for stroke and other circulation-related disorden of the brain. Intravascular interventions ~ the body's circulation system as a tunnel to the brain. Neurosurgeons or neuroradiologim thread micro-thin instruments through the laJge artery in the groin until they reach the damaged area. This approach avoids the need to open the skull. mg up weak spots in arteries or blocking off aneurysms. The UB protolypc provides im· ages that are significantly dearer than can be produced by any cur· rent system, and may allow the viewing of even the tiniest blood vessels in the circulation system, Stephen Rudin. professor of radiology and physics, reported in Chicago yester· day. He introduced the proiOiypc and its image-enhancing capabilities at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society ofNorth America. Rudin heads a resea rch group composed primarily of physicists within the Toshiba Stroke Research Cen ter, an interd isciplin ary re sea rch effort involving US STEPHEN RUOIN Having dear X·ray images of thr vessels and instruments is critical to reaching the repair si te without damaging vessels aJong the way. .. Even with the most advanced imaging equipment avai lable at present , we weren 't seei ng features we knew existed," Rudin said ... We expect this detecto r prototype to help us locate the stent optimaUy in th e vessel, visualize its integ ri ty m place and repositaon It tf nt>ces sary. If you can't see exact.ly what conditi on the stent ism when u 's deployed, it's not possible to change the deployment .. The detector technology 1s s1milar to that bemg introdu c~ now in mammography," he said. .. In mammography, the stte being vtcwed is static. We are developing the techno logy so 11 can be used in rapid -seq uence imagtng at that very high resolution .''

The Emeritus Center board of directors will mHt at 1 p.m. T HE nex-t area of u plosive growth in in formation technol · ogy will be in the field of embedded information systems that mo re or less read your mind. That is the prediction of Joseph D. Woelfel, professor of communication, who nearly 20 years ago developed C ATpac {CATegory PACkage ), a unique embedded sys tem of inform3tion retrieval and analysis now used by researchers worldwide. Embedded information systems are able to read and recognize in dividual neural patterns and from them predict lxhavior. The nature of these systems offers a glimpse into the complexi ty of the new elect ronic age, according to Woelfel. They point to the speed with which vast technological changes inform our lives in ways of which most of us are hardl y aware. Whether we know what they arc or not , within three or fou r years, Woelfel says, these embedded sys tem s wl\1 provok.~ enormous changes. Hc:- notes the possibility of: • Cars that will talk to us and ac cept verbal commands, predict our destinations and get us from one plaet to another by telling Us where to turn and warning of detou rs and accidents a head. They'll remember that you often fo rget to turn on your headl ights, for in stance; read the level of outdoor light, and query you. • Household appliances that not only will recognize and remember the way we like our coffee brewed or o ur b read toasted and prov ide both automatically, but will teU us when they need new parts. • Commercial applications that will recognize the way we usuaJly shop. anticipate our needs, suggest items that might interest us, advise us of pertinent sales or ask us befo re we leave the store if we fo rgot to buy shampoo. • An array of satellite networks feeding data into compu ter net works that not only will individu ally and collectively see and track us, but know what we are likely to do or where we arc likely to go next "All of th is raises new and diffi cult ethical, legal and philosoph1 cal questions that must be exam · med carefuUy and wuh co nsider able knowledge of the rapidly changing field of commumauons Lcchnology," Wodfd notes. "This is a very diffi cult job be· ca use such change~ will not onh· he cndem1c, hut will prov1de Ill · fo rmation 10 strange rs about many different areas of our lives," he says. "On top of that, mu ch of the programming is 'hidden.' The average person may become aware of new applications, but won 't know wherl" they came from, who 1mposed them and why or how else they may be applied ." The embedded systems of which Woelfel speaks ar• intelligent systerru that are inside other systems and are not themse.Jves new. They see what information is requested and, based on that information, make additional suggestions to the user. fo r example, the World Wide Web is an iotdligent system and a search engine is an intelligent sys· tern embedded in the Web. How systems worit There are two ways these systems work, according to Woelfel. The first, and weaker m ethod, he says, is "oollaborativ< filtering." This is the one with which computer users are most familiar. It coUects information passively by recording what you select on your computer, or actively by "asking" you what you want or where you want to go next. It then measures and compares the coUected data and fmds other customers who searched the sit~ like those you've searched or bought what you are buying. Then they suggest to you the choices made by these other users. "This method is popuJar co mmercially," Woelfel says, "but it will only come up with the most obvious choices-the same authors ' names, Web sites or broad in terest areas, for instance." The seco nd, newer and much better method by which embedded systems can work allows them to recog nize how we th ink a nd make predictions based on ou r neural patterns. "\Ve now know enough abo ut human cognitive functions to simu la te them in a computer," Woelfel says. "Using a method of sim ulating ne ural pa tterns, the comp uter can learn an individual's behavior pattern-what kinds of mformation he seeks, wha t she buys, what channels t h e user watches-and can predict wi th co nsiderable accuracy what that user will do next. " It isn't anyth ing nearly so com· plex as the human brain," he adds. .. These are rather simple art ificial neural nerworks, b ut they work very, very well By recognizing part of the pattern, they correctly pre dict the whole." More accurate martc.et research In addi tion to helping us by or· ganizing, prodding and remind mg. so me of the most popular co mmercial applications, like the nne developed by Woelfel , make new and highly accurate forms of market research possible. Although the communications revolution frequently is co mpared 1n Importance to th e Neolithic Revolution, the lndustriaJ Revolu tion and the vast chang~ that fol lowed migra tion from rural to urban areas. Woelfel goes further. .. , think this revolution is bigger and even more Important than the ot hers," he says. " It is chang ing our lives in unpreceden ted CATpac: Quar1titative of QuaUtative Data An~is ways, and most important, with unprecedented speed. We aU know that we barely have time tb become familiar with one new tech nology when a new, im p roved, faster, better, more complex system arrives on the scene with its benefits and problems. And this is happening in aU fields at once, of course, provoking more and more change on every level." \Aihile admitti ng the amazing number of opportu n ities being c reated daily in the jacked-in world of information technology, Woelfel , like most experts in the field, emphasizes that a change this massive provokes social, political and cultural questions that we barely have begun to address. "You know, if you carry a ceU phone," he says, "your service provider knows where you are within 30 inches. Lawyers now subpoena cell -phone records to track the exact location of individuaJs at a particular time on a particular date. "The poli ce want access to these data files, too,.. he adds. •eommercial concerns want ac · cess-it's intrusive, yes, but then again , if you're buried in a snow storm, your location could be pinpointed immediatdy within a few feet."' In addition to the application of value systems to technological innovation, some of the greatest IT headaches we'IJ face as we plow through the '90s and into the next millen n ium, says Woelfel , are the staggering problems presented by the need to retrieve data from old hardware and from discontinued software programs., so that it asn 't lost. ..We also have to rewn te exJSt ang programs to ac~ommodate new operating systems and soft · ware. That is definitdy a challenge I spend a good deal of ume up · dating the CATpac programs used by thousands of analysts and re searchers. It 's tedious and bon ng work, but it requires techno logi · cal skill. So that 's another problem to solve." �December 3,19!1/Yot 311.111.14 llepaa"tes Elech"O&"IicHighw:afS Web sites focus on time; help Women need to be more direct, men must 'listen more actively' you check past, future dates ~ offered for 'genderlect' By MAltA MC~IS Nf:\¥5 SeMc.es Editorial Assirtint A prese ntation that a distinct diffe.rencc exists in on ..

Endometriosis is a condition in which fragments of the uterine lining, the endometrium, grow outside of the uterus. It affects up 10 percent of women of reproductive age; between 30 and 40 percent of those women are infertile. Buck, associate professor of social and preven ~ tive medicine, said there is increasing speculation, based on animal studies, that environmental contaminants called halogenated organie>whlch include dioxin, PCBs and pesticides-may play a role in the development of the condition. "'Dioxin exposure has been associated with endometriosis In laboratory animals and in Rhesus monkeys, • she noted. "Only a few pilot studies have been conducted in women, which is the reason for this study.• The researchers also will determine whether cer· taln proteins in endometrial tissue may act as biomarkers of exposure to dioxin . The study will allow investigators to assess the severity of endometriosis through actual exposure, based on blood and fat samples, as well as through concentration of biomarkers in the tissue . Study participants will be recruited from women between the ages of 18-35 in Western New York newty diagnosed with endometriosis, whose disease state, biomarkers and exposure levels to the toxicants will be compared with information from control groups of women without the condition. "The data from the study will help us determine whether environmental exposure at low doses adversely affects reproductive function in humans," Buck said. -lOIS BAKU.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The problem, he says, is that the preservation of information pro duced and stored in digitaJ form ts far more difficult, time-consuming and expensive than it is to save documents on paper and micro fiche. Continuing improvements in electronic media of all kinds have provoked legal, organizational and financiaJ nightmares for archivists, librarians, museums and other in formation administrators. "New technologies allow us to produce, alter and dispose of records and documents with un usual efficiency and facility ," Densmore acknowledges. There is much expenst' and many complications involved tn their preservation. And , he and his colleagu es have serious concerns about the stability. longevity and hiStoricaJ significance of computergenerated and electromcally filed document!>.

Thts mdicates the enormous difficulty of archwing such records for histori cal, legal and other purposes. Still, a prodigious effon has been launched by archiv1sts to avoid fu . ture problems. ln defining the problem, expert~ say that as we increasingly digiuze resorch, literature,journals, finan cial and tax records, legaJ docu ments, family photos and even those email love letters, we should be aware of two facts in particular.

As a tactic, it means the usc of violence by a small group in order to gain attention and sympathy for their cause. As a strategy, it based on (to me) the romantic idea that widespread, popular sup- pori and/or immediate, radical change can be brought about by the acts of a few. It is thus generally not a coherent ideology of either right or left, but a means of insurrection, which persons of very different political convictions can utilize. Is terrorbm bec:ondng lncreas-. lngly prevalent notlonolly ond lntemotlonally7 It is being reported more widely; in general, however, it is becommg less co mmon.

On the other hand , the Ameri can populace has become far more aware of the possibilities of terroris m on our l10me soil. The bombings of the World Trade Cen ter and of the federaJ office building in Oklahoma City- two auac.ks carried out for diametrically opposed political reaso ns-made many Americans shudder with, to me, unreasonable fear. There is more danger to life from a drunk driver, or even a wet shower-stall noor, than from a terrorist here at home. In 1972,4 2 Americans died in terrori st attacks. II in 1984.

Yes, watch out in Tel Aviv or Karachi for vehicles carrying bombs, but the threat here comes far more from the inebriate than from the terrorist. We in the U.S. have the great advantoges of a multi-level, reasonably responsive goV«nment and of an economy that continues to create jobs (albeit many of them at ridiculously low wages). In this country, "terror" ~ more the result of random violence eased by the availability of unregistered handguns and a drug culture than by car bombers. Are Amerkans naive about the possibility of teiTO<Ism In our own country? computer programs, electr icit y supplies or public health. But are terrorists more a tb.reat in the United States than the Y2K issue? Than a cascade of power failures from an overloaded generating plant? From a sudden genetic mutation creating a kiUer like the post-World War I Ou (which killed more than the ~war to end all wars• did)? But we need to recall that a strength of democracy for citizens. namely its openness, is also a factor aid.ing terrorists. Democratic societies sddom take effective preventive action against potential threats; our pcnonalliberties are more impo~t. -for Is It the U.S. to pollee . . . . - ...t__._..,7 No. The American role comes best in using its immense technological (a.k.a. spying or intelligence) resources in tracing wireless oommunications, bank transfcn and weapons shipments by would-be terrorist groups. We should not expect U.S. strike forces to turn up in odd parts of the globe because of terrorist threats to other governments, unless they arc very closely tied to our own. But we can sha.re infonnation, provide training and, in gen eral, seck to build international consensus against the use of terrorism. Judging by Nonhem lrdand, South Africa, C<ntral America and, argu ably; the Middle East, the results have been reasonably satisfactory. Yes, we are.

Modern urban society is highly susceptib le to terrorism targeting Information can be disseminated far more rapidly-for would ~be terrorists, as well as for their opponents. Witness, for example, how rapidJy news about the assassination of Dr. Barnett Slepian was sp read, as well as the publicity given to his home address on some anti -abonion Web sites. lnstruc - ti on on making even nuclear weapons can be found on the Internet.

Anot her of the contributors, Seung-Chong Lee of Seoul's Yonsei University, received his doctorate in philosophy from UB. The unifying theme of the vol ume is the naturalness of nature , which is one of Cho~ lifelong research topics and one in which he criticall y confronted Edmund Husserl 's "constitu tive phenom enology," which tended to reduce nature to a correlate of human conscio usness. Although Ma rtin Heidegger largely overcame this methodologically constrained view of Husser!, his mentor.

More than the polite response of an audience interested in a renowncd au thor and speaker, it felt and soundec..llike an expression of appreciation, a celebration even , of the simple fact of Wiesel's survivaJ of the Nazi death camps. After living through the horrors of the Holocaust, he has dedicated hi s life to the relief of hu man suffering around the world . The audience learned that WteSel still has the oourage to believe in the powet of good over evil. HOW<V<I', he ispersonallytroubiedbythelegacythe 20th century will leave behind. "It is a century that has gone from assassination to assassination:· he said, beginning with the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hun gary that sparked the first world war, which was followed by so many oth~. the Kennedys, Martin ther King. Anwar Sada~ M<nachim and ltzhak Rabin, to name a few. hey were, all of them, good T people," Wiesel noted. What do thest assassinations of good people teach our children' he asked. "' Hitler was not assassi nated~ Mussolini was not assass• nated," he added ... Does it mean that evil has power? Are we con demned to lx victims of power?'" Several times he referred to thr Holocaust as"entirely preventable." To make his point, he traced some of the events that preceded it, beginning with Krist.allnacht in November 1938, ..the night of the braken glass" when 750 synagogues and thousands of shops run by Jews in Germany were destroyed. " How come the doors didn 't open then~ " he wondered. '" How come people didn't say, 'You are my neighbor, come in?' Where were the 'good' people?" Even more mystifying, he said, was the response from the rest of the world. "The story of Kristallnacht was reported on the front page of The New York Tim<S , and probably The Buffa}q News, too." he said. But nothing was done. Only rnooth<; lar<r. he oontinued, the St. lruis.ashipwithrnoo:than !,(XX) Jewish men, """""' and childrm---wtne visasb-Gbl"""'suddenlyann~ wastumedawayfrom the U5.andsent bod< to Germany.

Wi~sel described the Mumch agreement as one in wh1ch Bruam and France essentially sacrificed Czechoslovakia to appease Hitler. With each step forward, he said. Hitler was testi ng the world's reac tion, and when there was none. he proceeded with the "Final Solution." Wiesel cited other aamples of human tragedies. such as those suffered in the former Soviet Union and in South Africa under apartheid. Ooser to home, he mentioned the recent murder of Amherst doctor Barnett Slepian, who had been targeted by anti-abortion activists, calling it an outrage and adding that the community was to be praised for its support for Slepian's family and its peacdul response, such as the 24 hour prayer vigil held last week. "Be wary of beginnin!;'-" he cau tioned. for that is wher-e evil starts. " If )QU don't stop evil, evil grows and then it is too lat<." WICSd said he still agrees with the French existentialist, Albert Ounus. who said that ultimately there is more in the human being to celebrate than there is to <k'O)'. " In spite of all that has happened. I force myself to be hopeful:' he added.

To celebrate this historically sig· nificant event and explore its aten· siV< social, cultural and political im· plications, UB is hosting a special four-day exhibition of an by the Inuit community, beginning tomor· row and concluding on Monday with a day-long series of roundtable discussions on the Inuit's culture and new Nunavut govemmenL A It is being organiz<d by the Buffalo Council on World Affain, the Canadian Consulate Gen<ral and the Canada-U.S. I.cgal Studies Ccn· tre in the UB Law School Other sponsors are First Air of Canada. the Western New York International Trade Council and the UB Cana· dian-American Studies Committee. The new territory has been rwned "Nunavu~· which translates to "our land" in Inulcitut, the language of tbe Inuit people who will mal<e up 85 perttnt of the population. After more than 20 years of the Inuits arguing for their own lands, the Canadian Parliament enacted the Nunavut Land Claims Agr«· ment Act and the Nunavut Act in )u~e 1993, which ratified the Inuit land claim and authorized the creation of the new territory in the eastern Arctic. dwlge.---- 'Tothe_,......_ofthe.........,.lonot......., •_ pallialbnttorW _ ._....,..,.....,... pallia The...-t~the opportunity to nlled on-~ of the culture....,. - t h e - ........... LAURA MANGAN HOW<Yer, the creation ofNunavut has not been an easy task.

V'wton to the gallery also will haV< the opportunity to see Inuit artist Alex Alikasbuak at work, since he will be poaenting dem· onstrations of his stone·carving process as part of the exhibit. Alikashuak's work is said tore· fleet a vision in which simplified s hape , abstracted form and strong composition reveaJ themes that are based on his cul· tural heritage. Originally a means of survival, carving is an age-old tradition of the Canadian Inuit. Their carvings reflect the spirit of the physical life and natural cnvironmint of their northern ancestral land. and the monumental achicYcnent of devising new constitutions and new forms govmunent. According to Laura Mangan, associate director of the Canada· U.S. Legal Studies Centre, the four· day event wiU explore the overlapping politial and cultural identities of the Inuit people. "To the Inuit people, creation of the territory is not simply a politi· cal and territorial change. Inuit an and Inuit politics are not completely separate. The logic of hav· ing the an exhibit is that it also affirms the integrity of Inuit cul· ture and offers the opportunity to reflect on howelemeotsofthecul· ture may affect the new govern· ment," explained Mangan. She added that the Canada· U.S. Legal Studies Centre is especially interested in this issue, considering the extensive legal impliatioru of creating a state within a state and the impact it will have on re· gional development. The roundtable discussions will cover, "'Art, Identity and Sover· eignty" in relation to the Canadian North aod"Nunavut Environmen· tal Policy," followed by a keynote address in which members of the Nunavut Implementation Com· mission will explore the opportunities and challeoges of "Creating a New First Nations Polity~ The an exhibition and sale, " Vi sions of the North," will be held in the UB Art Department Gallery and will feature more than 75 Inuit art works, including soapstone carvings. deoorative wall hangings, aboriginal clothing and stone-cut "Wheo I pick up a stone and start working it, I never know what it will be." said Ali.kashuak. "As I can>e, a form takes shape. Each stone possesses certain unique characteristics and has a purpose. I am con· tinuing a long tradition and com· pl<ting the cycle of nature."

With students seeing each other in class daily, the premise is that the small group will bond; establish study groups and exchange ideas. Kaars says. Among other initiatives high lighted by Kaars are: • Implementation of the Noel · Levitz Retention Management System. About 4,000 entering stu dents filled out a questionnaire during o ri enta tion that helps identify for students and their ad· visors factors that might put them at risk for academic difficulty, such as poo r study habits, finan cial dec.lared a major. Or they can identify the students who have not preregistered for the nat semes· ter. " It allows depanments to idenlify problems and flag siUdents before the problems become too enormous." Kaars says. She points out that while staff from Noei - Levitz- the enroll · ment · management consulting firm UB has engaged to hdp with recruitment efforts-say there are no "silver bullets" to solve the retention problem. they also have praised UB's dforts to address the issue. In fact, staff from the Aca· demic Advising Unter have been asked to discuss UB's retention ini· tiatives at a natio nal co nference, she adds. �NOYellbei 19.1!1Noi.JII. ~. 13 ~ Preservation c-..... __ , · readily and permanently available for use, which turns out not to bt the ca.sc. It is safe to assume that today's documents will be equally difficult to retrieve using tomorrow's hardw.lfl' and software." Citing a 1996 report on online electronic documents and distrib- uted databases produced by the SUNY Office of Archives and Records Management, Densmore nQles that electronic information systems are not inherently de signed to serve as record-keeping systems in the archival sen~ of that term. .. No one knows how stable electronic files are or how long they'll last," he says. " Right now, the average book published on acid-free paper by university presses and stored in a library is expected to remain useable for 500 years . That's the archival standard for paper documents, photographs and microfilm. So material stored today in those formats will be available to our progeny in the year 2498. Disks' survival an unknown .. Contrast this with the stuff of floppies, which, with gnat care, might last until 2028 ' d, without care, only 10 years, r until 2008. Optical disks migh survive in tad until 2058," h~ sa ... No o ne really knows for sure. As Jeff Rothenberg ted in Scientific American four ears ago. today's COs may last fo 30 years and tomorrow's DVDs l.the next generation of COs) may last for 50. Even if such materials are stable for hundreds of years, however, they won't be readable unless the hardware and the operating system that produced them are available. Given the variety of hardware and software programs that have been heralded and then discarded ove r the years, Rothenberg is describing a colossal rdrieval head ache. Densmore agrees. "Already, information produced by now-defunct software on re tired hardware can't be read by today's computers," he says. "And it is very difficult to find an old computer that can read it for severa l reasons. Not o nly may th e document be readable only by a specific generation of old computer, but by vintage software that may not be available any more. "Of coU rse, today's computers and programs will eventually be defunct themselves soon enough, ra ising questions about the Viabil ity of documents being produced as I speak. On top of that, although most disks have their interface system on the disk itself, computer operating systems also degenerate, so alt hough th ey may look like they work, they may be useless." Densmore acknowledges th a t technologi cal changes in reco rds production have been an iss ue among archivists long before th e dawn of th e new electronic media. ..Arch ivists like to have the au thenti c o riginal document in their collection for evidentiary reasons," Densmo re po ints out. ..... He explains that a fil e kept by a particular office or official is the "official file" and, archivally speaking. ideally contains the o riginal documents produced by that of· fice or individual. If you lose control of that original, official mate- rial- if, because of copying, the copy (not the original) is in the fil< or if copiei went to everyone. then everybody's got the file or parts of the file and no one may have the original documents. "Years ago, mimeographing and photocopying, for instance, raised problems because they produced multiple copies of records, which later were found in the hands of many people. Now it 's possible that all the copies are identical to the original; Densmore says... It's also the case that the original or its 'copy' could be altered-perhaps officially-<llld copied again, making it very difficult to identify advertising, I suppose, but historians trying to Uep a record need to know how accurate these things are." Finally, in rev iewing the scope of the changes that confront archi vists in this regard , he says that the biggest problem may not be tech nology, planning or the availabil - ity of trained personnd, but the cost of these undertakings. "' It is an expensive: and e no rmously complex task to maintain old hardware and sofrware so library users in 2030 can read what a professor typed into his Mac Classic six years ago or into several incarnations of Dell PCs from 1994." he admits. "It is also expensive to regularly migrate vast bodies of software to and authenticate the origi nal document." new generations of technology and impossible to maintain the depth of reference of hypertext original. Which Is the original document? "So we' ll have to carefully assess these costs and compare them to the costs of traditional method · ologies as we set about to digitize the entire contents of a library, for instance, or accept archival mate rials in digital form , which will require expensive upkeep." Today, he says, printers produce virt ually identical copies, with none of the degeneration manj - fested by mimeos and Xerox copies. So it is also almost impossible to identify the: original document at all. They all have the same cha racteristics. ..Also, because docum ents arc frequently mailed electronically," he said, .. the archivist may not know who rec.C"ived copies and was therefore: in on a decision. The o rigina1 item also may have been edi ted electronically, making it very difficult to document the process by which the: decisions were made to change a cu rriculum , build a science building, promote a professor." New issues that confront archi vists are perplexing and difficult to resolve. One of them is the question of whether libraries should maintain a coUection of equipment and operating systems that can read old electronic mate· rials. This would be a formidable task. Densmore cites another new problem to be aware of as well. To- day, photographs taken on digital cameras are stored on zip drives or some other media. They take up a great deal of storage space and so th ~ data often is discarded to make room for storage of a new digital photo, so the primary document is gone even as it 's used. He warns that published versions of such photos are not as nearly as reproducible as traditional nega tives and even if saved, the disks may not be readable in the no t -so· distant future. Even more difficult to deaJ with is the electronic manipulation of photographs tha t are then used to "document" an activity or person in a more attractive fonn. Changes result in inacruracy .. The result may be more ap pealing visually," Densmore ad mits , "'b ut if you go a round straightening or whitening teeth . mov ing trees around , changing hair color or adding characte rs to a scenario, altering bodies to con form to current standards of al · tr ac tiveness, then you a rc n o longer documenting fa ct, but producing an aesthetic. but inacc u rate, document that may not re nect realit y at all.

Solutions recommended by a variety of state, federal and professionalassociation records-management administrators that can be applied to both institutional and personal electronic documents include: K_lt......._ • Files in a standard format are more likely to be readable in the distant future. When you store formatted word-processing files, accompany them with simple-text venions that will better stand the test of time. Image files stored as simple bitmaps without compression are much more likely to survive. • Store data with the particular lll!fSion of the software that created it. • Keep two copies of digital data carefully in two separate places. Fire, flood, mildew and assorted insects can destroy digital materials, as well as paper. • Keep saved software and hardware in a cool, dry place. · • Use high-quality media. Avoid brands you never heard of or that are particularly cheap. • Inspect and refresh data even on optical media {see data migration strategy, below) • Develop an archival plan before you upgrade hardware or software. The latest version of either may not work well with the material created in earlier versions. • Keep your archives where you can get at them, not in a place that may be hard to remember and find years from now. "--long.-gital_....,_ __ last.__ to-It-- • Paper storage is bulky, but advantageous in that documents on paper can be read ·easily, lasts a very long time and degrades gracefully. Longevity is significantly increased if the paper is acid-free and stored carefully at lower temperatures and humidities. • The. life expectancy of data-storage media depends on several factors: the quality with which the media was manufactured, the number of times it's been used over its lifetime, the care with which it is handled, storage temperature and humidity, the cleanliness of the storage environment and the quality of the recorder used to write the media. • Tll!sting by lmation / 3M and Kodak, for instance, indicates that their CD-ROM m edia will last intact for 100 years. Optical disk media can last for several decades. Magnetic tape will last for about 1 0 years and digital magnetic tape 30 years. If you want to be certain yotir documents will be here 500 years hence without concerns about hardware and software, preserve them in both paper and digital form . • life expectancy is enhanced if media is stored in a clean, dry storage case and not left sitting around on desktops; not flexed or twisted {diskettes). Do not touch the media exposed in 5 1/4" diskette windows; do not write on diskettes with a hard-tipped pen or pend!; keep from exposure to magnetic fields and, if the diskette is used frequently, it should backed up with another copy in case the original disk wears out.

GRANT DEAN, CoLLEGE OF ARTS AND SciENCEs Address given at the Fourth Annual University at Buffalo Convocation October 1, 1998 T is the series of dramatic changes in higher education in the last dozen or so years that I refer to in the first phrase of my title. It is derived from the famous opening of"A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens, whose other work on my theme, "Great Expectations;' is not as cheery as its title might suggest. Prospects are not always what they seem. This has certainly been the case for educators of my generation who now work in a social and political context entirely different than that we ~ntered at the outset of our careers, as I will outline in a moment. I The allusioq in the second part of my title, the ''Age of Diminished Expectations;' is drawn from a popular book about American economics written by Paul Krugman in 1990. He coined the phrase to summarize his key message that "Many Americans feel that they live worse than their parents; even more fear that their children will be worse off than themselves." The age of diminished expectations has presented its challenges to higher education in multifarious ways. Kerry s . Grant �In the years between roughly the end of World War II and into the 1980s, higher education was one of the privileged sectors of funding at most levels of government. Good public policy for education was universally understoo d to be ample funding (commensurate with the economy of the moment) with nearly complete autonomy and little regard to accountability. Accountability was unnecessary. You could easily judge the benefits of education in the lives of young people as they marched, even raced, past the social and economic status of their parents. Education transformed the lives of the privileged who had access to it. Its efficacy was unquestionable, its expense tho roughly justifiable and more than amply recaptured with impressive dividends in the lifetime of the student. A college education today is no longer the magic lantern reliably granting the wish for an enchanted life. It has lost its cache as a guarantee of a good job, sometimes, any job. With this loss has come the loss of our spell over the public. Once the public's vision cleared and they examined higher education more closely, they did not always like what they saw. They grew critical, even captio~:~s. Even the elite schools were not spared the indignant demands that they account for costs and, particularly, escalation in costs. Since government subsidies underwrite a large portion of education, public and private, through student aid, research support and myriad other ways, the public and private institutions shared vulnerability to critical inquiry. In relatively short order, what began as a reasonable call for accountability in education became transformed in the bureaucracy into expectations and models of assessment predicated on the definition of productivity familiar to economists: the rate of output per unit of input, used especially in assessing the effective use of labor, materials and so forth . Seemingly overnight, val ues and practices with origins in the very founding of the university fell by the wayside, replaced at a still-escalating rate by models of management and assessment drawn from the manufacturing and service industries. We have been and remain in a period of severe stress that is calculated to move us away from habits that even we must admit are not good for us. We need to control the cost of higher education, we need to manage our personnel and facilities better, we need to consider the relationship of the activities of the individual to the purpose and mission of the institution and we need to consider many other aspects of our values and practices. But the demand for reasonable change does not require that we abandon essential values and we should remain true to them. NKNOWING and unaware, outside forces would have the academy become an industry, and student throughput, not learning. become our most important product. The trend exacerbates an already pronounced American proclivity to be concerned with credentials rather than education. There is no hyperbole an'tl no uncertainty in my declaring that a larger segment of the American public and the national leadership than ever before is content to view the student mind merely as a vessel to be filled, whereas educators are driven to light the fire of individual intellect and imagination. The research university, arguably the highest and the most expensive form of education in the world, has as its unique justification ~e mission of providing graduates who possess knowledge as a foundation, but who manifest imagination, creativity and prescience in their chosen ca reers. It does not matter whether we are considering stu dents of the arts and sciences, or the professions, undergraduates or graduates. Teaching facts and skills to those who are fully capable oflearning them on their own offers little gratifica tion. The acquisition of these should be merely a prelude or an accompaniment to an education that has the capacity to transform the student from intellectual bondservant to intellectual freeman. Skeptics fall silent. I do not claim that we succeed in transforming every student or even most But, we must never lose sight of our responsibility to provide opportunity for every student to discover in themselves the uniqueness of mind, the intellectual passion and the personal vision that is the true, time-honored, exalted purpose of the research university. Education with those who are themselves on a continuous voyage of discovery on the faculty of the research university allows our students the opportunity to questio n their own capacity to innovate, interpret and create. We need credentialled individuals. But credential development, per se, does not require the elaborate in.frastructure and the high cost of the research university. Our purpose is distinct, our outcomes predictable only in that our history and personal experience assures us of the possibility of transformative education . It is perpetuating this possibility of transformatio n for all worthy students that is the special mission of the public research university. We have Peter de Vries to credit for putting the matter succinctly. He writes: I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they grruluate the best-it's all they'll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money-provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don't need ir. The disaffection with higher education over the past decade included dimensions other than productivity. Once the social contract that had spared higher education weakened, critics seemed to surface in every conceivable corner of the country. A flurry of publications simultaneously reported and escalated the public's dissatisfaction. Withering attacks were made op the curriculum, on the alleged indulgences of the working conditions of faculty, on the spirit and practice of political correctness, on political liberalism and advocacy in instruction among other complaints. Faculty were first incredulous and then dismissive of these crit ics, but the criticism took hold in the popular press and among politicians, governing boards and the public. One of the central skirmishes in the conflict was over the very heart of the curriculum. Long sacred subjects such as American History and Western Civilization as traditionally taught were declared by academics to be lim ited, exclusionary, no longer applicable or adequate in transmitting societal values. Moderates are still looking for the workable mix of the great books of literature and history and the wonderfully complimentary material reflecting a broader, more inclusive worldview that contem porary scholarship has made available. In the midst of these epochal changes, a hitherto unknown wave of consumerism broke over higher education. The American penchant for wanting the best quality and best buys on products and services, was extended to higher education. The U.S. News and World Report, Money Magazine, later the Kiplinger Report joined the ranks of providers of college guides. However, whereas the familiar popular guides by Princeton Review, the Yale Review, Fisk and others had been largely anecdotal and opinion driven, the new guides sought to establish criteria allowirig direct comparisons. In place of anecdote and opinion is an impressive statistical report The methodolOgy and presentations suggest that the quality of a college or university can be measured and reported with the same precision as a consumer product. The American competitive spirit quickly led to rankings becoming an important influence for a variety of purposes. Once content to know that they had received an excellent and wholly satisfying education from their alma mater, alumni and donors joined with trustees and politicians in demanding to know why the retention rate at Whyme Univt!I'Sity was 3 percent lower than that of the University ofWhyu. Rivalries once denoted by the annual Fall football contest now included dueling graduation rates, quality rankings, cost comparisons, class sizes and average SAT scores among a host of other indicators. The rankings,·if controversial, have nonetheless grown influential with politicians, regents, trustees, administrators, foundations, donors and evm prospective ernplof~=. �These have been difficult times for higher education . Before I finish today, I want to be sure that the uni versity community and particularly the members of the College .of Arts and Sciences know that we are indeed well underway on our journey. And even if the old axiom is true that you can tell when you're on the right road because it is all uphill, we have come a great distance. E have paused for a long moment of introspection, self-examination and self-aiticism at VB during the Provost-led assessment and planning effort. Now, as an institution we have set our direction, we have assayed our strength, checked our provisions and it is time to start climbing again. About now, a wise speaker would abandon the mountain and head for safer ground, but I can't resist pushing on a little further because the image seems so apt As is a party of climbers tackling a difficult ascent on an unexplored peak, we within the university are simultaneously dependent on our individual strength and wits and on the collective strength, intelligence, skill and cooperation of the other members of our excursion. Each of us must climb for ourselves and yet each of us must climb for the group at the same time. We are an assemblage of individuals with intellectual skills and attainments, with varying capacities and strengths, operating simultaneously as self-contained individuals and as essential members of the collective, a team that must be whole and fully functional if it is to progress as rapidly, efficiently, and as far as it aspires. The analogy extends still further in my mind as I think about how to express the utter necessity that every member of our university be an active participant, a source of support and energy for the effort we are all making. Imagine trying to move a climbing team forward in which various members argued: "I don't want to climb anymore, I've come this far and I am entitled to continue on without further exertion." Or how about: "yes. all well and good, someone must climb, but why all of us? Surely others can go ahead and cut the footholds, place the hardware and ropes and then I'll start." Then there are the impatient climbers: "yup. I know we haven't plotted a course yet, but up is up and we're moving out. When you guys get through diddling around with the maps, give us a shout. If we like the direction you're taking, we'll take a vote and decide whether to join you or not. By the way, we'll be taking our share of the provisions." Of course, I've left out some of the likely cast of characters in my analogy of the ascent team and the uni versity. There would be the guy who never got on the mountain at all because he couldn't find a parking place at the base. There'd be the guy who stayed home watching the weather channel just positive that, clear forecast or not, you shouldn't be on the mountain when the weather might turn. And, of course, there would be the guy who would look at you incredulously and declare, "climb, climb, my good man, can you not see that I merely await the arrival of the rest of you. I am already at the top." If the institution has set the direction of its ascent to greater reputation, what is it? The Provost has outlined principles of priority setting, general goals given largely in statements of outcomes, and some forecasts for the uni versity. He has declined to chart the individual plans for each of our enterprises. Not that we let him off the hook for that. Our campus reaction suggested more that he had genetically re-engineered the university in his singular vi sion than given us directions about as specific as "Go West Young Man." Let's be honest, we rather like a lack of direc tion. We don't like having no direction, but that's different than a willingness to receive directions. I think the Provost has been amazingly bold and clever. And yes, I would think so even if he hadn't ap pointed me. His cleverness, at least that which most im pressed me, is that he managed to force us away from all of our assumptions and security with the status quo with- out erecting a vision so specific as to give us something to overturn. We were in essence left shadow boxing with no possibility of a knock-out punch. His specificity of assessment, his willingness to call it one way or the other, right or wrong, on target or off, as others saw it, and to stand firm under the return fire has permitted this campus to move where other institutions have remained immobilized. Other campuses have gone through the travails of our journey, suffered similar stresses and, in the end, made little, if any substantive progress. Al ready we have reached way stations on our journey, includ ing a College of Arts and Sciences dedicated, in part, to im mediate and notable improvements in undergraduate life. and a number of interdisciplinary research centers that are in one form or another of advancement. For us, collectively, a difficult part of the journey is ahead With courage and ambition, we, we the faculty and staff have the opportunity to create anew the University at Buffalo. I want to urge upon all of us--administration, faculty and student alike--a new commitment to community and morale. I know, I know, we are in Buffalo, New York. How chipper can yo u feel in a city that for a time relished the slogan "City of No Illusions" (except that one, we might point out). The place where the bridges are more troubled than the waters. Buffalo jokes aside, we have much to be positive about. Positive morale, after aU. is both an outcome and a commitment. Recently, my sense that we go overboard in self-deprecation was validated by the consulting firm hired to evaluate UB's public- relations and marketing efforts. It was startling for me to discover that, in general, VB faculty, administrators and staff are more negative in their assessment of o ur efforts to serve our students th~n are the students themselves. Our ten dency, particularly after the rugged years past , is to focus on o ur limitations rather than the possibilities. I have had the experiences of a lifetime representing VB to Poland, Ch ina and, most recently, to Cuba. On these trips I encountered working conditions that would dispirit beyond hope most American academics. University buildings in sad disrepair, once-great research libraries unable to afford the range of periodicals found in the av erage public library branch in America, entire colleges and schools served by one or two badly outdated computers and research facilities unworthy of the nam e. NO yet, the essence of the university, the life of the mind, the transmittal of knowledge and the value of inquiry is practiced unchecked and with a sense of commitment and determination that is genuinely inspiring---even humbling. Many of our colleagues overseas were educated in America. They understand the relative deprivation in which they work. Yet, they offer the world books and articles of great importance, they educate and inspire, and in their emerging countries, they take leadership in the formation of the fu ture of their economies and their political systems. We all have the good fortune of working with them in our exchange programs. They are, or should be , a constant reminder, that however much we relish and wish for the latest in technology, the best in campus amenities, the resources to travel extensively or any other of the rest of our desires, we are not bound to the inevi tability of failure or to second -rate intellectual status beca use we lack the best , the latest, or the most. We have a good measure of all three. We don't have as much as some other institutions, but we ask too little of ourselves if we are complacent about our shortcomings in the be lief that the only solutions that matter will come from o utside in the form of the effort of others or of more resources. We have limits, but they are not so limiting as we occasionally allow them to be. I am not urging a climate of denial. And if I were here to cheerlead, I would be wearing a varsity sweater, not �academic robes. But it is too easy to rest in the relative comfort of cynicism and the escape of the surrender o f commitment. In accepting responsibility for our morale we regain direction over it. Progress on the goals before us must ultimately be driven by changes in the faculty culture. And that is how I will move ahead, by requesting from the faculty, by creating policies and by encouraging and rewarding, changes in what we do, who does it and how we reward it. Much of what we will undertake will immediately gratify the focused, hard-working faculty. Over time, all of us will experience the pleasure of working in an increasingly open and healthy environment that more fully recognizes the efforts of the willing and effective faculty member. This same culture will insulate us a good measure from changes forced upon us by those who do not understand our enterprise. We can preempt external intervention by comporting ourselves within our traditions of self governance to meet any reasonable standard of accountability and productivity. EEDED for this is a heightened sense of faculty accountability: accountability to each other. So I turn to the faculty and ask that you ask of each other that each member carry a fair share of the load. Our loads needn't be identical. The needs of the institution are many and every effort contributes to the success of every other. There are a hundred ways for each one of us to make a full contribution. It is a simple matter, really. Everyone contributes, everyone gains, everyone is equally obligated. We should accept the President's challenge regard mg the focusing of our activities and our mission. Higher education has had a sharp focus for years: we are focused o n the disciplines. These have been, and will remain, the chief delineators of much of what we do and how we do it. I wouldn't advocate changing this. I would advocate the inclusion of other influences to a stronger degree than we have, in most cases, admitted in the past. There is a context for the University at Buffalo. We clearly know this. There are strong signs of regional iden tity apparent to even a casual observer. This institution is. and aspires to be even more, a national and international research university. But our focus on the distant horizon must not distract us from what is immediately in need of o ur attention . The future of public education is signifi cantly grounded in the faith of the public that the universities that it supports represent powerful resources for changing the future . This requires our being visibly and effectively engaged with their concerns. There are man y ways to express our importance, but we are called upon to focus some of our effort on the problems of those upon whom we depend for support. And let m e say it again , this is in the context of seeking broader recognition within the disciplines that account for our larger reputation . This is not an either/or choice as many choose to cast it. You can anticipate that I will strongly encourage a climate that actually does those things that justify the ex ceptional status we enjoy in society. We defend academic freedom as an essential right, yet how often do we exercise it in a manner that meets our ideals. In principle, the uni versity is a place set aside in which ideas can be exchanged and viewpoints advocated without fear of retaliation. But how many campuses have you been on in the last decade that had anything like intellectual ferment going on. In much the same spirit that we decided a generatio n ago that the peaceful university was the hallmark o f a well -run institution , we have adopted over time a campus climate in which anything could be said, but where pretty much o nly the right thing can be said . O ur limits a re no t the rc suit of an a utho ritarian presence, they a re th e res ult of a social contrad that has forgotten a provision for sustaining the highest degree o f resped and collegiality while passionately and honorably disagreeing on issues. Our heritage o f inquiry, challenge and intellectual tolerance is in need of renewal. if not outright reclamation. As yo u, I strive to make the wo rld around me con form to my understanding of how the world ought to be. The idea of the university in its most general sense holds a place in my values not too far from religion. I have time left to tell you only a few of the defining ideals that guide my understanding of the university, but it will be a start. • The university is an institution that does not merely facilitate learning: at its best, and for willing and capable students, it provides a transformative education. In this sense, I am not speaking of economic transformation, but personal growth and change. • It is a place of intellectual and social tolerance, where a changing society can critique its past, define and model its near future, and boldly propose and explore directions for its social, artistic, intellectual, technical and scientific destiny. • It is a place for taking risks, where failure is supported as part of the process of learning and where success is defined so as to value the achievements of all of its members equally on the basis of widely differing values and expectations. • Because a university teaches young people and because we as faculty enjoy positions which. if not the most lucrative in our society, are so privileged in every other way. a university constitutes a trust. Therefore. its members have ethical responsibilities that greatly exceed those of the ordinary workplace. • The university is a humane meritocracy that seeks to elicit the highest achievement from its teachers and its learners, without loosing sight of the human conclition. But, it remains a meritocracy amidst enormous pressures to be otherwise. • And, finally, and in a much less noble tone: it is a place where the inmates do run the asylum and properly so. If it is not a linle crazy, a bit out of step, a tat curious, even quizzical, then it is probably failing through conformity, dullness and indifference. With all of the attributes I have ascribed to the institution, if our society was not just a bit uneasy about how all of those freedoms were being exercised, we could hardly warrant the exceptional conditio ns that we expect for the carrying o ut o f our work. You will ascertain from all that I have said, that I think the university is an extraordinary place and I am very fortunat e to be part o f it. I share in my mother's wo nderment that m y life has taken me into this enterprise and that it has embraced, even trusted, me. She, as I, marvel that a distracted and marginal high -school student, an ill-directed junior-college student and an extraordinarily naive university transfer student could be transformed. Transformed by encountering professors who .cared eno ugh to be critical and demanding in ways that somehow challenged rather than rejeded; by discovering that with the latitude and option to fail came the freedom to succeed, and by being led to the discovery of my own d o rmant desire to know, to know more. to know even more. With three nearly grown daughters of my own, I now share in that perspective that sees our offSpring as children regardless of their age. So I have finally learned to take pleasure in my mother's declaration--<:m occasions such as my being here--when, with evident motherly pride, she declares " I just do n't know where yo u came from 1" lt reminds me of what I owe to my education. And come to think of it. I'm surprised to be here too. I thank the faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the President and Provost for the opportunity and for the privilege of working with you to create the institutio n that we all can embrace in o ur ideals and in our hearts. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community.

Sheridan in Nicaragua to studymudflow UB volcanic expert aims to find out what trirgered disaster that killed thousands By nuN GOlDBAUM News Services Editor A UB scientist who is an expert in volcanic mudflows left for Nica- ragua on Saturday to eva1uate the possible causes of the devastating mudflow that occurred with the catastrophic collapse of Casi ta volcano and killed thou - sands of people in severaJ villages. Michael F. Sheridan, professor and chair of the Department of Geology who ho lds 1he largeSI grant in the U.S. to study volcanic mud sl ides , says scientis ts have much to learn from the tragedies in Nicaragua and Honduras so that other populations do not su ffer the same terrible fate. "The mudflow in Nicaragua is the worst volcanic disaster of this decade," said Sheridan. On Oct. 29, he presented research at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in T9ronto that descril>W how computers are being used to interpret satellite data to predict the likely sources. sizes and paths of volcanic mudflows so that populations at risk can be informed and safely evacuated . Using a mathematical model, the research also projected the potential devastation that would occur in a key industrial town near Colima volcano in Mexico if extremely fast · moving volcanic mudflows art" un leashed when the volcano reach~ the climactic stage of its eruption cycle, which is expected during the next decade. The largest mudflow the researchers calculated from Colima would involve a wall of water and debris 200 feet high. "We have an ideal research pro gram to incorporate data from Casita volcano with our findings on Mexican volcanoes so that we can understand better what cause5 these huge mudflows," he said. In Sheridan's estimation, mud flows are the volcanic phenomena posing the greatest danger to popu lations. In 1985. a volcanic mudslide 1n Colombia killed 16.000 people. ·· My goal in go· 1ng to Cas ita volca no IS to find out ~~~s ~a:;~~r~~r:i~ 3 DIYIDAH collapse of the volcano," hc said. Initial reports from Nicaragua have indicated that it was I-I urn cane Mitch that caused the terri hi!: mudOows on Ca!li ta volcano, hut Sheridan noted that other possible con tributing fa cto r~ . mcluding the decompression of a geothermal system on Casita. cannot be ruled out. "And last week, Ce rro Negro, an adjacent volcano, has also begun to erupt," he said . .. We need to ex plore the connection with this ad Jacent erupting volcano." Sheridan plans to do fieldwork on Casita, checking to see tf th e matenal that carne out of Cas1ta was hot, which would mean that a geothermal system was mvolv!'d. "This is a unique opportunity to study a major collapse of a volcano before the evtdence IS removed or changed by geologic agents," satd Sheridan. After gatherihg the field data . Sheridan plans to use rcmotdv sensed data to test his assumption that satellite info rm ation can pro v1de a kind of "gcolog1c X-rav" to tdcnllfy soft spots at the surface ol d volcano, particularly those a rea~ that are 5usccptiblc to a cata strophtc collapse.

Back to the drawing board for ethics axle By SUE WUETCHlR News Servicel Associate Director proposed code of eth · ics governing consen sual relations between faculty and students was sent back 10 the drawing board by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at its Nov. 4 meeting, an action that resulted in cancellation of the Faculty Senate meet ing scheduled for Nov. I 0. During a lengthy debate , execu tive committee members haggled over language in th e proposed code, questioned the la ck of a committee report accompanying the code a nd revisited the issue of social relation s between faculty members and students. john Boot, prokssor and chair of the Department of Management A Science and Systems and chair of the senate's Academic Freedom and Responsibility Commi ttee, pre sented to FSEC members a revised version of a code that his committee had drawn up that incorporated comments from an Oct. 28 FSEC discussion of two previous versions of the code. During that discussion, seve ral senators had noted that those versions would prohibit social relations between students and faculty, and specifically asked the comm ittee to rework the language to allow such relations. The version presented to the FSEC on Nov. 4 states that .. rela · tions with st udents in one's class or under one's supervision are pri· marily teaching or mentoring re lations. So:cial interactions which preserve symmetry among stu- dents or serve a clear educational purpose are also encouraged . However. social activities which treat students differently and serve no clear educational objectives areunprofessional and unacceptable. This includes ente ring into sexual relati ons with a student in one 's class or under one's supervision." Noting that the revised code had been presenled lo the FSEC with · out an accompanying committee repon, Lou Swartz., associate professor of law. questioned whether the Academic Freedom and Responsi bility Committee had actually met and endorsed the document. 'Tm concerned that an effort to have something for the Senate to talk about in a few days (Nov. 10) is driving a very important process forward." President Wilham R. G re1n er also lamented the absence of d co mmlttt'l' report. "Yo u need a dear report th.H sets a record as to how the com rn1ttce came to th1s re~uh ," he sa1d Cremer also wondered how the ~SEC's work has evolved from .. thl' diff1cult. but very important. task of trymg to rev1cw the tssue ol snual relatwm between (acult ~· and student~ to th1 s mu(.h broader attempt at some h ow regulating social mteracttons:· He asked senators to <.o ns1der how their co lleagues would rcce1ve the proposal.

VIDAL Reporter E.ditof T HE Division of Athlet - ics--and the university co mmunity- has suc- cessfuUy completed the latest step in US's effort to reclassify its football program to the Divisio n 1-A leve l. According to -Bob Arkeilpane, 1nterim director of athletics, the university sold an average of 19,940 tickets to each of its four home games, or more than 79,000, thi s faU, comfortably surpassing th e 17,000- paid- ticket minimum required by the: National Colle giate Athletic Association . " We 're really pleased , because the opport unit y for us to go into th e Mid - Ameri can Co nference and compete at the Division 1-A level in foo tball is somethin g a lot of peop le 1 ha~ NCAA regulations require that gam<s be played in a stadium that seats a minimum of 30,000. Construction of a 14.500-seat expansion of UB stadium is scheduled to begin in April and is expeaed 1o be completed in August in time for UB's first home fOotball game on Sepl II . Additionally, th < 17,000 per· game attendance figure still re mains a factor. By virtue of its new conference affilialion, UB retains its Division 1-A status when a ma Jority of the schools in the MAC meet the minjmum requirement. "Tbe opportJ.nty for ... to... compete I l l - DMslon 1-A l e v e l l n -.. b sometl*lg • lot of people ---t.lngt-.-d for • long time." been working to- wa rd for a long time," he said. Arkeilpan e acknowledged that the past year has been a difficult one for athletics, between the stiff atten dance targets the division was required to meet and the loss of former Athletic Director Nelson ·10wnsend, who experienced a heart •mack in March and in August res1gned as director to assume the d ties of associate vice president for dent affairs and special assistant UB President William R. G reiner. Rut with the apparent success of 's ticket - sa les effort s -those fig'ures first mu st l)e verified by an NCAA audit-the universi t y has "turned a co;ner," Arkeilpa~e said. It 's not the final corner, he noted. 808 ARKEilPANE The MAC also mandates thatJI .!l members field teams in six par· ticu lar spo rts. Includ ed amo n g this list are baseball and softball , which the Division of Athletics an nounced last week will be re1n . sta ted into the program. But for now, Arkcilpane sa1d he 1s pleased that UB has m et th1 s fall's goals for reclassifica tion to Division 1-A. It could not ha ve h appened without the universit y communit y and its su pport. h~ added. "We hope people enjoyed the en · v1ronment that was created and hope they wtlJ continue to be suppon:ivc 3..\ we move into the Mid-American Conference," Arkcilpane saod. .. This isn ' t ' mission : accom plished,"' he added ... The miSSIOn has just begun." Many people worked hard th1~ year to provide game-goers with new and unique experiences. such as Kidzone, distribution of V1ctor E. Bull bean -bag buddies and the HaUoween .. Spook -tacular." Bu lls' fans should expect to enjoy simi lar attractions next year, he sa1d Tailgate parties arc another tra dition that Arkeilpanc hopes to see co ntinue in the 1999 season. "People were tailgating evt:ry where," he said ... To arrive two to three hours before a game and see group after group afte r grou p was a great feeling." Arkcilpane had h1gh pra1se for ~he Office of Campus Parlcing and Transportation Services and the Department of Public Safety, which he said did a great job untangling traffic s narls as the season went on. "Who ever though t there 'd be a parlcing problem thi s early 10 tht' growth process? " he noted He a lso gave kudos to D1n1ng ServiCes, which catered a meal for students at one game. and to the Facu lt y St ud ent Assouat10n . which handled stad1um l011Ct:.!l sions for the fir stt1me thi s season But perhaps most exciting was thlatmosphere that the games crea ted . .. What a great environ m ent for kids . It 's really a family event." Arkeilpane said. "I t 's the same positive athletic expt:nence you get at a professional foo tball game. hut at a very different price ."

Based in the ImmunodefiCiency ~crvices Clinic in the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, th e H IV Medication Adherence Clinic i~ designed to provide patients wah intensive educa tion and supporl about their medications, len before they take their first pill. Staff members have counseled more than 200 HIV patients since or- properly so that they have the best chance of working properly." At first , said Esch, patients were skeptical, but after their first con sultations, most became very en thusiastic. Follow-up 15 intens1ve, generally occ urring afte r the first day of medication, then once every one or two weeks for severa,l months. Esch said the purpose of the clmic is to take a comprehensive approach to ensunng that patients st1ck to the1r medicatton regimen . 'lbat could involve something as sunple as a pill organizer, medication beeper or other reminder aid, or the development with the patient of a reasonable st rategy fo r fitting the medications into his or her lifestyte. .. The difference between com · phance and adherence is the difference between ' Do as I say' and 'Do as we agreed,"' she explained . Each patient has different bar ners that need to be addressed . "One of the biggest ones is that II was founded by Esch and col leagues in the School of Pharmacy's Department of Pharmacy Practice, under the supervi SIOn of Gene Morse, professor and department cha ir. "We now know that the first shot we get at drug therapy with patients 1s the one that either makes or patients who are working find it dif. ficult to tili compla regimens of pills." she said. "Other patients don't have stable home lives; either they""' breaks it ," Esch said. "If therapy is homeless or arc in and out of short - mterrupted for any reason, the sec ond-line drugs will never work as well as the first ones. The purp<)6e of our clinic is to try to spend time with the patient before he or she even stans their medication , to get them to understand the importance of taking their medications term rentals. We work with each pa· tie:nt to find a way to work the medi - cations into Jheir.sch«iulQ.". The adhcrmce cliniC makes = · ommendations to physicians on what drugs might be pr=ribed for a particular patienL It also hdps pa· tients manage side effects of drugs. or drug int<ractions with food, aJco. hoi or other drugs. JOm<tim<s re<· ommending that a~ be changed. .. We may assist a physician in selecting specific drugs for a patient at the outset," said Esch. ·~ may know, for example. that one drug works a ~ttl< betkr than another ont" but that its side effects are extremely difficult to deal .with." After the regimen has been se lected, Esch will discuss it with patients in lay terms. "This is what pharmacists have been trained to do," she said. A key clinic emphasis is provtd mg pati~nts with information about how the drugs wiiJ make them feel before th.ey sGirt therapy. "We prepare them for therapy by telling them , ' Look, you are probably going to feel worse than you do now when you start taking the medicine, but this is a transtent thing; it will pass."' This is critica.J information because the most dangerous thing a patient can do is interrupt therapy once it has begun. " Before they stan therapy, theu v1rus is very stupid, sO the minute we give them medication, we are usually guaranteed to knock it down," said Esch, "'but it also give5 - th.e-virus an opportunity to begm fightin g back, or mutating. So when we start therapy, we want to makto sure patients are ready for 11 . that they u.nderstand it and are committed to sticking with it." �NoveRiber lt 19!11/Vol.:11. 111.12 Rep o.-tea Headrick's academic plan m will continue, Greiner tells PSS By OIIIISllNE VIDAl.

Noting that his committee had , in fact, met, Boot said it envis1ons an environment at UB "whe re stu~ dents feel welcome and professors are inteiJectual and social animals. The fact that you see only the out put of the committee (the pro· posed code) doesn't mean there wasn't substantial discussion" on the issue, he said. Powhatan Wooldridge, assoc1 · ate professor of nursing, noted that of the two ve rsions that had be~n presented to the FSEC the previous week, senators seemed to be unanimous 1n preferring the version that included th e wordmg "sexual relations," as opposed to the version that was less specific. Boot replied that h1s commi ttee had induded soc1al mteractions in the code "because that ·s what the committee felt was appropriate ." But, Wooldridge insisted, the new version of the code can be 1nt~rpret~d as preventing faculty members from accepting social mvitat ions. such as att~nding a graduation party at a studen t's house o r JOinmg a student for a ..-up of coffee at Starbu cks, because tho!>c activ ities would constitute "asymmetncal" relationsh1ps, fa vo nng one st udent over another. out "a kind ofbemgn, generaJ statement of pnnciple" actually would affect faculty behavior, and won dered how diverse interp[etations of a code would be handled and Don Schack. professor of math- how the policy would be enforced. L·matics, told senators that over the yL·ars, most of the complaints he has fielded from students are of the sort, '""So and so's kid is in his class; how am I gotng to g~t an even break'? " It may well be that . .. the issue of ~x ual relations with someone in you r class is a much more serious issue. However. the other type (of relationship ) is a much more fre qu~nt issue," said Schack, adding that he once received a complaint from a student that a class m~mber played tennis regularly with the in structor and that relauonship af. fected hi~ access to the teacher and the fairness of the grading. "There are a lot of things which worry the students; there are a lot of soaal activities which are, quite ob\'JOusly, to be mispcrceived by one's classmates. I don't think that, in fuct. 1f you're really going to deal with the LSSue of how our interactioru with ou r students affect the entire class's perception of their access to th~ professor.! don't think W< should be ignoring those issues, either." Swartz questioned how putting " This Isn't • kind o f - w~-..---......... ~~ (faculty,_,_..), It's • code of conduct." IOHNBOOT Boot told senators his comm it tee was proposing "a code of con· duct; it is not a penal code," and that UB is "behind the times" because it does not have such a statement. ul don't see this enforced in any legal sense at all." The code is a document that can be used by chain to point out to f.Jc · uhy members what the acceptable standard of conduct is, Boot added. .. This isn't a kind of situation where we have the sexual campus police pursuing (faculty mem · hers}. It 's a code of conduct." William Baumer, professor of philosophy. pointed out that the FSEC the pm'ious week had rejected a suggestion to combine the issue of con- sensual relations with the sexual ha rassment code that's being drafted Instead, senators decided to present to the full senat~ a general principle gov~rning consensual relations that, upon presumed adoption by the ~nat~. then would be covered by the enforc~ment procedures of the ~mal harassment policy. Bau m<r recalled. .. 1 suggest that, having commit 4 ted ourselves to that cou.rse and havmg, in dfect. invited John and th~ committee to proceed along that lme, we ought not, at this point. to tum the canoe around and dump us all in the water," he said. Baumer's motion to present the proposed code to the full senate was defeated He then made a motion to return th~ code to the Academ1c Freedom and Responsibility Com minee with two instructions: That supporting comments cxplairung the principles outlined in the docu · ment be appended to the code, and that the committee reconsider some of the phrasing used in the code. m light of the FSEC discussion. That motion wasappl"OYI:d by the FSEC, which then voted to cancel th~ FacuJty Senate meeting on Nov. 10 becauS< of a tight agenda. �November11.19981Vot.31J.Ikl11 Repcwter Du!Mai!JII SEFA should address issue of discrimination To the unlwenlty community: As a memb<r of the univ<nity oommunity, I have b<en atremdy distr<SS<d to observe ontt again this year, UB's mstitutional suppon of the annual SEFA campaign (through weekly exhonations to achieve 100 percent compliana:, etc.). Although I do realiu that SEFA provides the opportunity to donors to give to many worthy causes of their own choosing, I can't under>tand why the Boy Scouts of America is allowed to remain a memb<r organization of United Way. The Boy Scouts of America openly discriminates against gay citizens, refusing to aUow openly gay individuals to become scouts or scout leaders, citing its status as a ..private organization" that can legally exclude gays for"moral rea sons." (I don't rome by this information anecdotally, I've repeatedly attempted to volunteer with the Boy Scout organization---Uley don't even answer my letters.) OK, so mayb< now ynu're thinking. "weU,gee, though I think of myself as a lib<ral, tolerant per>on, it does make me a bit queasy to think about havinghomosauals around my child_" Or. one might say, "no one has to gi\'(' to the Boy Scouts through SEFA. 1r'~ an mdJv1dual choice to whom one gives." Here's the quest1on I put to you: does SEFA have any member orgam7..atJOru thai deny memb<r>hip to African Americans, H15paruc.>, the disabled. or any other minority group or md1v1duaJ based on a condition of birth? Wouldn't a good many of you ~ o utraged if this were the case? I think that SEFA/United Way needs to b< held ac countable for the discriminatory practices of 1ts mem ber organizations and I would ask that until th1s JSSUt.' is resolved that UB reconsider its commitment of stall' resources, material and time in support of SEFA. It may not be illegal for the Boy Sc.out.s to discriminate, but it's the opposite of what I would call moraJ. As a gay man, I would say on b<half of gays that we ar< just Like any other group of people: we try to live moral lives; we don't recruit; we don't molest children-and common decency dictates that we be treated with the same dignity and respect as anyone else. -foseph Murr•y.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

FSEC members his committee continues to grapple with the issue, and sought input from the FSEC. A version of the proposed code had been rejected by the Faculty Senate at its Feb. 4 meeting. with some senators questioning whether there really was a need for such a code, while other criticiz.ed the specific language of the proposal. That version stated that a faculty member should not have an amorous or sexual relation, consensual ' or otherwise, with a student who is enrolled in his/her course, or whose performa nce is supervised or evaluated by that faculty member. Boot said he personally felt that it would be prudent for VB to havo a statemmt "that states in no unce:rta.in terms thal it is unwise for faculty to associate with students in their class or students they supervise in any other than a teaching or mentoring capacity." In the "real world," any company that does not have such a sllltement is severely di.sadvanlllged if a lawsuit is filed, he said. Boot questioned how widespread the problem of stucknt·faculty ro· mantic relationships is. telling senators he had poUed female students of Western European descent who sought out his help during his regu lar ofli« hours and asked them if they had ever experienced a situation in any of their classes that they would consider improper. He said he did not question stu dents of"'Eastern.. descent because "I know from experience that East ern students have a different approach to these things and I'm not l·1was~ surprtsed-- by- response from my collellgues ... (who ~-to dlscuu -Issue I I publldy) ....Even . . - ~. they- hit utremely ~to rdrlbutlon - otiMr ldnds of professlooYI dlsdpllne... sure whether I could come across in such a way they would properly understand~ 1 w.u saying. "To a person, iheysaXl, 'No, they've never noticed anything like it.' To say it's widespread is incorrect.'" But, he acknowledged, consensual relationships afe "not a non event on campus." There is a "substantial element of mischief along these lines." he added. Loyce Stewart, associate director of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action Administration, and several senior female faculty members-all of whom had been invited to the meeting at the behest of Boot and senate Chair Peter Nickerson-disputed the contention that while the problem does exist, it is not widespread. Stewart noted that consensual relationships are a problem, "not just at UB, but at all universities." She pointed out that the issue not only affects the faculty m<mh<r and student involved in the relationship, but also affects other students who may feel that they are being denied opport unities because attention or benefits that are due them art going instead to the student who is involvtd in the relationship with the faculty member-a situation Stewart caUed "third-party saual harassment." ~ Acara,professorof phar· macology and toxicology and chair of a subcommittee of the Women's Task Force that is preparing a poticy on sexual harassment, told FSEC members she had conducted a poU of six female students. All of the stu· dents told her consensual relation· ships do occur on campus. and that they mal« the students "very uncom· fortable." Acara n:ported. Notlng the differences betw«n the results of her poll and Boot's, she said sh e tho ught the .. re sponses are different, depending on who's asking• the question. judith Duchan, professor and chair of the Departrmnt of Com· municative Disorders and Sci ences, called consensual relationships "nunpa.nt in the (academic) profession," adding that the exist· ence of one ucan make a whole department dysfunctional." She said she favors having a policy on the issue that depart · ment chairs could point to and say .. it 's not sanctioned." Bernice Noble, professor of microbiology and chair of the Women's Task Force, said that through her work with the task force, she has talked to female stu dents who recounted cases of consensual relationships among their peers and faculty members. The students were "extremely unwiU ing" to discuss the issue because the lack of a un iversity policy makes them feel "extremely vulnerable." Moreover, she noted that when she brought up the issue during a meeting of women full professors, .. there was a very heated discus· sion; everyone had a horror story." But when Noble suggested the group sponsor an open forum on th·e topic. " I was disappointed, sur· prised and ed ucated by t he response from my colleagues.· Most of them, she said, were unwilling to discuss the issue publicly. •Even as full professors. they still felt ex· tremely vulnerable to retribution and other kinds of professional discipline. We'U never get a good picture of how serious the problem is ana how people are affected by it because of the fears of those likely to have a problem." she said. Boot presented to FSEC mem· bers for their consideration p. new version of the ethics code that had been pr=ted to the senate in fei>. ruary. The new version states that any relation other than a teaching or mentoring relation with a student in one's class or under one's supervision is unprofessional conduct. The stlltemeo~ be says, "says what we should be doing, rather than what we should not be doing." However, ~ =riY< com· mittec members preferred the "old version," ooting that the new version would exclude "social relationships" between faculty and stucknts, such as meeting for a 01p of coffee or an ~dinnerorate.nllisJillltch. William Baumer, professor of philosophy, said that a policy that excludes such social relationships would .. put constraints on the teaching relationship that is just 180-degrecs. opposed to what we want to sec in terms of the facultystudent rel.itionship." Don Schack, professor of math· ematics, took the issue a step fur. ther, suggesting that faculty m<m· hers be required to report such social relationships to their supervisors so that the faculty member's authority over the student could be transferred, if necessary. Baumer recommended that the smate consider the issue of oonsmsual relationships at the same time as it considers the proposed poticy on sexual harassment, wjllch Acara said was in draft form and soon would be presented to the adminis· tration. Consensual relations "all too eas· iJy fall into harassment when the r<· lationship goes bad," Baumer added Acara noted that the draft policy on sexuaJ harassment only ad dresses consensual relations in the context of "third-party sexual ha· rassment... She suggested the issues be considered separately at this time, with the consensual-rela tions issue being includtd later in the sexual harassment policy. The FSEC rejected a formal motion by Baumer that the senate combine the two issues. Boot said he would take the in· put from the FSEC back to his com· mittee and bring a reconfigured stlltcment back to the body for con· sider.Uion at its Nov. 4 meeting. and possible inclusion on the agenda for the full senate meeting on Nov. 10. �Monmber I. 1!81Nol Jfi.lti 11 Reporiea UB gives generously to SEFA Involvement with wmmunity, wmmitment keys to cam[Xlign sua:ess ~anng umvers1ty community has contributed mor(' than half a m il· li on doll ars to date to support those 111 need througho ut the Western New York community.

The common thread among the most successful services was that all of their industrial -assistan ce programs were under one roof, said Rebecca Landy. chief operat · ing officer of tht> UB Busines.or, AI liance. The new o rgaruzatton wiU be a "one-stop shop" for businesses con· tac tin g UB, sa id Mark Karwan , chief executive officer of the UB Business Alliance and dean of the School of Engineering and Applit-d Sciences. "Before, a company might de cide to call our department of industrial engi neering in search of, fpr examp le, expertise in industrial hygiene," he explained. "The de partment would respond that in dustrial hygiene is not part of m dustrial engineering, but that pos · sibly experts in it might be found an the medical schoo l or nursing ~chool. The caller wou ld ge t this hounce from one department to another a~ each of us tried to refer the company to the proper source. "Now,a company wiU place one call and get the answer." That will be the case. regardless of bow specific or technical the request , Karwan added. For example, if a pharmaceutical company needs structural informa tion on a molecule that can only 1x provided by nuclear magnetic resonance spec troscopy. th e alliance, through its new database, quickly will identify where in the university the instrume~t is located, as well as the appropriate contact person. If a company is looking for someone who can translate Ietten; or contracts int o an o ther lan guage. the UB Business Alliance wi!J identify an appropriate expert. As has always been the case with UB 's business -assistance pro grams, the U B Business Alliance will continue to identify the best people and facililies to solve a problem, whether they are at UB . another educational institution or even a non -profit or government agency. The UB Business Alliance 's most up-to-date, detailed information on UB programs, research and cent ers is available on its Web si te <http:/ / www.ub•lllanc:e. buffalo.edu > and in its recently printed "Directory for Business & Indu stry." A key function of the UB Business Alliance will continue to be assistance to manufacturing firms, which make up 70 percent of the firms to which UB provides ~rvices. For example, SPIR, the Strat<gic Partnership for Indust ri al R~surgence, a cooperative effort that leverages SUNY 's engineering prog rams at UB and o ther SUNY units, provides research facilities and resources turing firms. Since its inception in 1994, this program alone has contrib uted to there- in Western New York, as well as to total sales increases of more than $20 miluon. It aJso has provided valuable. o n·the -job experience to more than 700 UB students. TClE has been credited with creating or saving more than 5,000 jobs in mor~ than 500 Western N~w York firms of all sizes since its inception in 1988. Those efforts have seen increas ongsuccess, with funding forTClE jumping to more than $3 million from just $250,000 in the past five years. Whereas just a few years ago, 90 percent of TC IE's funding came from state grants, the center now receives about two-thirds of its rev enue as fees for service from companies that it assists, Landy said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Since then, economic necessity has stimulated the profession to realize the educa· tiona! merit in teaching a variety of general, non-language courses, such as classical mythology, literature in translation, ancient history, to men- lion but a few. Another, and perhaps more significant,change is the open· ing up of the profession to interdis· ciplinary perspectives in scholarship. something in which, hy the way, the -UB classics department played a lead· ership role in the founding of the joumaiAmhwa bock in the lau!

It's simply not the case. Classical studies has been in the forefront of technological applications to scholarship and peda· gogy.

Plant-based fat may help fight pros~te cancer By LOIS IIAIWt News Services Editor UTRITION researchers at UB have provided the first evidence that ami· nor plant -based f~t called 8-sitosterol appears to play a role in inlubiting the growth of hu· man prostate-cancer cells They found.that the phytosterol 8sitosterol, a fat abundant in vegetar· ian diets, enhan= an intracellular signaling system that tells cells not to divide. The study showed a 28 per· cent inlubition ofprostate-can= cell growth after being exposed to 8-sitosterol for five days in vitro. Atif Awad, head of UB's Nutri· N tion Program, presented the re· suits on Sunday at the Sixth Inter· national Conference of Anti-Can cer Research in Kallithea, Greece. "This phytosterol replaces some of the cell membrane's cholesterol, which changes tht membran e lipid composition in such a way that signal transduction (second· ary messenger activity) is stimu- lated, and that activation inhibits cell growth." Awad explained . " If cell proliferation can be stopped before it becomes uncon trolled, cancer can be contained . When we treated prostate-cancer cells with phytosterols, cell prolif· eration was inhibited. We have found the same effect in vitro with breast and colon -cancer cells ... This activity may help to explain why vegetable fats. such as olive oil, in the diet reduce the risk of devel· oping certain cancers, Awad 'said. The work of Awad and colleagues is grounded in epidemiologic stud· its showing that prostate cancer is less common in Asian countries where diets are primarily vegetarian, and that rates increase when these people migrate to western societies where rates are higher and diets art primarily animal-based. Working with sterols, a group of minor lipids. Awad andcollcaguesset out to examine theactionofthemain plant steroi--J!..siti>sterol-<md the main animal steroi-<holesterol-on prostate-cancer cell growth. · In previous work, they identified activation of a cell-signaling path· way called the sphirlgomyelin cycle as one of the inhibitors of cell groWth. The UB researchers felt that increased levels of 8-sitosterol may amplify the signaling capability of two enzymes that act as second roes· sengers in the sphingomyelin cycle. thus in=asing its inhibi)Ory action. To test their theory, the re searchers supplemented human prostate-caAcer cell tissue in vitro with either cholesterol or 8 -sito- sterol and monitored cell growth. They also measured activity of the secondary messenger enzymes. Results showed there were 28 percent fewer cancer cells after five days of 8 -sitosterol treatment, co mpared to tissue cultures supplemented with cholesterol. This inhibition ofcell pro1ikralion was accompanied hy a 50 percent increase in the activity of one enzyme.

Public service has become even more critical, Gresham points out, because society typically looks to universities during times of transition, such as the coming of the next millennium. Traditionally, universiti~ have been "repositories of all the best knowledge of our time. When there are change points in society, you can always see people coming back to the university to ask us to help generate the kind of knowledge and the people with the kind of knowledge that's needed to help out in society," she says. "When there's change, when there's pressure in society, people look to the university; that's part of the reason for the attention we're getting now and the pressure we're getting now to be more service-oriented. "We're not just educators; wereally impact the world around us in very significant ways," Gresham notes. Adds Greiner. "We take seriously the fact that we are of a larger society and we serve a larger society." Gresham calls UCI, headed by Project Director Danis Ge.hl, an "exemplary example of appiied scholarship." UB re5p0flds to residents Residents of University Heights, seeing transition in their neigh· · borhood and an erosion of its ·identity as a middle-class community, asked US-the largest neighbor in the Heights--for help stabilizing the neighborhood. Thus, UCI was born. University researchers did what they do best: They analyud the problem and developed a strategy. That strategy encompasses a comprehensive neighborhood stabilization plan that Gresham says includes "not only investing and partnering with ed ucational institutions, but also working with small businesses and working on UB's own image on the South Camp us." It also includes working with the housing stock and with residents, neigh borhood block clubs, the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority and Common Councilmember Kevin Heifer. The strategy focuses primarily on housing. she says. because that's"the single biggest factor that influences the perception of a neighborhood." UCI commissioned a marketing study that determined that a housing acqu.isition, rehabilitation and resale program designed to improve the housing stock in the neighborhood is feasible. Gehl , Helfer and representatives of the UB Foundation, Inc. are working with local banks and the Fannie Mae Corp. to fprther analyze the marketing study and a business plan. Gresham noted that a pilot project involving all or part of three streets in University Heights will be conduct~. with UB investing $250,000 in the program. US's investment in the community also focuses on the South Campus with a commitment to spend $100 million over 10 years to develop the campus into a premier health-sciences education and research cmter, improve the physical appearance of the campus and upgrade recreational facilities and quality of life for students on campus. Individual projects include creation of the Comprehensive Health Sciences Education Center that will provide on-campus ambulatory health care and patient access to health professionals"'from diverse specialties ifi a singl.e setting; development of an on-campus research park, possibly in Acheson Hall, to attract high-technology industry to collaborate with health-sciences faculty and expand job opportunities for Western New Yorkers, and enhancement and improvement of the physical appearance of the campus with such projects as new signage across campus and the installation .and repair of sidewalks and new landscaping along the camp~s perimeter. Several projects under W"Y -In addition to the housing project, UCJ is moving forward on several other fronts: • It soon will open the Regional Commu nity Policing Resource Center, an unprecedented, crossjurisdictional collaboration among police agencies fr~m Buffalo, Amherst, Cheektowaga, Tonawanda, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority and UB. Located in Room I 00 ofAllen Hall oo the South Campps, the· cent~ will create a venue where police officer> will work in .partnersbip with residents, businesses, governrtJ.ent and social-service agencies to prevent crime and address community problems that impact on public safety. • It is working with the UPTOyvN Coalition, Inc., a group of area business owners, property owners and residents of upper Main Street to implement an "image- upgrade program involving streetscape, landscape and building enhancements." The master plan for the project was devised by UB graduate students in planning and de~ign, working with Hiro Hata, associate professor in the School of Architecture and Planning. • It has forged an alliance of organizations, agencies and university departments to address nu merous educalionaJ challenges} including mastery of new academic standards, career education and job training, welfare reform and self-sufficiency, and capacity building in public schools. Activities include after-school enrichm~nt programs held on the South Campus for approximately 500 Buffalo school students; summer residential programs in math, science, technology and general academic courses; the America Reads literacy program, and partnerships between UB and public schools in the Buffalo and Amherst Central districts. Gresham notes that one of the newest of these partnerships in volves a coUaboration just under way this semester between the Center for Urban Studies and the __ _ . .-----·---Atwwu.6,• .......,. _ ,....... c.ar.,.,....._,_ _....., _______ _.......,. _ _ )6_0.,. ....... schools of Nursing and Social Work, and Wmdmnere Boulevard School in Amherst and Schools 53 and 74 in the City ofBuffalo. The study will examine everyday life and culture in the schools, the school district and the immediate community that surrounds and feeds into each school in order to help the schools assess imponant issues-such as increased diversity of the student population and universal pre-kindergarten-that they will have to address going into the 21st century. Such projects under the UCI umbrella constitute "applied scholarship at its best; Gresham says "What we do best is think, research and analyze, and come up with a concept and then take it out and test it.• . .

All of the articles in the issue relate to Gort's principal themes and ideas, notably the nature of technological change and its impact on other variables. A member of th.e UB faculty since 1963, Gort is a specialist in the field of industrial organization. His res<arch and publications focus on the economics of innovation, the measurement of technical change and the economics of regulation. "The far-reaching influence of Michael Gort's work is only now becoming apparent," writes Boyan Jovanovic of the Department of Economics at New York University in his introductory essay. Referring to the fact that Gort served from 1954-57 on the re search staff of the National Bureau of Economic Research after obtaining his doctorate from Columbia University, Jovano.vic notes that his work " has consistently been in the l>H:t bureau tradition," which focuses on bringing '"relevant, sound evidence to bear on interesting economic questions .' .. To work in this tradition;" he adds. "one must useecohomictheory to select appropriate data and procedures, and having done so, understand the quality of the data and the limits to whjch oondusions cap be pushedl'ro=ding in this way, Gort has measured economic magnitudes not previously measured ... and he has estimated parameters not previously estimated...• Jovanovic adds: "The unifying theme of Gort's work.. . is iechnological chango-its nature and its impact on other variables. "For example, in his study of di versification Gort enmined technologicallinlcages betwttn a firm's base industry and those into which it di versified His work on mergers dealt with the impact of economic shocks (including technical change) on dispersion in valuations and, hence, merger frequen- cies. Gort's study of the diffusion of innovations and of firm survival rates established a syst~tic product life-cycle and some of its attributes. Finally, his work on productivity examined the role ofleaming by doing, of capital at)d organization learning. and the impact of vintage of capital on productivity." Gort's oontributions to the field of dynamic economics are of major significance. say his ooUeagues, citing in particular his important papers on firm and industry dynam ics, and on productivity and mergers. aU of which have added greatly to the understanding of how a market works from birth to maturity. Jovanovic points out that with co-author B.H. Babk, Gort wrote the definitive study of learning at the industrial plant level. He also was among the first economists. to conduct an empirical examination of the legitimacy of aggregating capital service, an issue that has occupied North American and Eu ropean econoinic theorist s for more than 40 years. Gort's research on the diffusion of innovat ions and of firm survival rata was important because it tstablished a systematic product life -cycle and some of its at tributes, Jovanoyic says.

Stevens also notes that as the year 1000 A.D. approached, considerable unrest occurred in Europe and when millennialist expectations were not met, many publicly criti- cized the church.

"Bytheeodoftbo 1970s, tho word 'cult' had developed a sinister and even Satanic a>nnotation due to the rise of groups which wero often led by a single powerful, megalomaniac who used questionable recruitment tactics which wero believed to in· cludo 'brainwashing,'" says Stevens. He cites such groups as the In• · ter national Society for Krishna "Tho friondly mombers and an often charismatic loader also may satisfy basic fundamental social needs for some people," says Slovens, adding that such· groups also attract poop!• by offoring some degreo Qf interest and excite· ment to thoS< who may simply be bored with their current lifestylo.

While the Honors Program at tracts top students, it is too small to have a significant effect on the overall profile of the student body, Goodman said. Moreover, the effect of recent tuition increases has hem that the tu· ition at UB is now not much lower than the discounted tuition at private universities, "making it Vtty difficult to compete for the best studonts. schools." he pointed out. The.refore, it was "crucial to the continued q uality of OUI undergraduate program that we offer a significant n um~er of attractive, merit -based scholarships." he said.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

He says it is im· .OO.COUU ponant for Ameri cans to understand wbo and what the terms .. Hispanic," .. Latino" and "Chicano" mean.

Students First.• "When we talk about planning; says Black, "we build into the de· cision -ma.king process what stu dents need, what students want and how best to listen to thos ~ vo ices and meet those needs.· For instance, student-services offices "all need to be in a core area." he says, referring to the need for a new student-services building, .. so the answer to a problem isn't, <You're on the wrong campw' o r ' You're on the wrong side of campus.' At most, the answer is 'You have to go across the street."' While UB 's investment in its physical plant includes significant construction projects, some of the changes that are occurringar~ mort subcle, but also vitally important. Like maintenance of existing buildings. "UB struggles like all universities with taking capital resources and managing them in a way that bal· antes prognm needs, such as new space, with the =I infrastrucn=building<. roofs, air-a>nditioning sys· terns, dectrical systems," says Senior Vice President Robert ). Wagner. Infrastructure support vital Putting off necessary rnainle nance, he says, can be very costl y. 'fhi.s summer alone, the universit y spent more than $4 million on both campuses to reconstruct sidewalks, roadways and parking lots; repair roofing, and rebuild entryways. "The university has so many program needs thlit often people would like to tradl off infrastructure sup· port, which in the longrun turns out to be a strategy that costs more ifld doesn't provide the buildings and services people want," Wagner notes. .. We've spent enormous energy putting in buildings. It's time to be saying 'We need to do a better job maintaining them."' Investments in UB's buildings andgmunds,headds,mimportant to student, faculty and staff morale. They also are an important part o f student re cruitment , s ince buildings and grounds arc seen as a reflection ofUB'squality, hesays. "What the capital plant looks like, how il is maintained, is im· portant," he says, noting that for the first time, UB's budget this year includes funds to improve appearance and aesthetics.

This will add to the quality of campus life, Block says. "They will say, 'You areliete. and wherever ebe you want to be, you can get there from here,'" he ..y5. The univenity's ~ibilities are "at a transformative point," according to Black, and much of the sllift can be attributed to students' changing needs. For example, the type of bousing that students want has changed &om traditional, dormitory-style livingarrangementstoaprrtettnce for apartment-style bowing. Aickinger O.urt, UB's new apart· ment· style bowing complex for400 graduate students on C hestnut Ridge Road adjacent to the North Campus, is fully rented and has a waiting list. Construction of a similar,on-campwcomplcxfor620 un ~ dergrad uate students was begun over the summer and is expected to be ready for occupancy next fall. Additional on-campus apartment. style housing is planned for the North Campus, with roru;truction beginning possibly as early as 1999. Long· rangeplansalsoincludereno· vating some South Campus dormi· toriesintoapartment-stylehousing. Student dining preferences also have changed, Black points out. Goodyear Hall 's new "Main Street Market" has replaced the familia r cafeteria tines with stations where food is prepared to order when studen ts make their selec~ tions. The marche-stylc dining approach is being co nsidered for th e No rth Campus as well. Another investment to improve student life is the upgrade of UB's athleti cs program and the move thi s year to the Mid -American Conference. ln conjunction with the move ofUB's football program to Division I-A next fall , UB Stadium is being expanded by 14,500 scats in a project slated to start next spring and to be completed before the home ki ckoff of the 1999 season. Adding seats to the stadium is about more than expansion ofUB's athletic, po:ograms; it's also about campw lnditions, says Blodt. "We're attempting to u>e athlet· ia to jump-start student life and to invite the conmiunitytopartici· pate. We know how athletics con· tributes at other irutitutiono. We don't havethathistoryorlndition here,• be says. "What athletia.can bring to campus life and student spirit was demonstrated at this fall's first footb1ll game. That needs to becortte the norm ." Upgnde In aatdemk "!U AnGthcr upgra<\e that will occur nat fall- this one in theacadcmi<: arena - will be the requirement thatallfreshmanenteriligUBhave ac~ess to a computer. The new computer-access requirement is part ofUB's ongoing efforts to up· grade equipment and infrastructure to support teaching. research and administrative needs, as well as to become a technological leader in lligher education. UB administra· ton say that universities that have instituted similar measures have experienced increases in admission applications and acceptances, as well as improved student retention. UB is "trying to address students needs in new and creative ways,• Black notes. "We want to make the university anractive to 'students and to retain them so they get &om us what they came for." The computer-access require· ment will change instructional dy· namics, as classroom ltaming is enhanced by technology. It pia= a responsibility on faculty mem· beTs to usc technology in their in· struction, and on the University to invest in new hardware and software, provide training and upgrade existing equipment and facilities. This summer aJon~ m·ore than 400 new co mputers equipped with the Windows NT operating system and num erous text and graphics software packages were irutalled in refurbilhed public labs. di.sk space for students was ina-cased 10-fold, the number of modems was nearly do ubled , open ports for laptops wt:re instaUedatvarious siteandthe most robust password security sys· tern available anywhere had been installed on the university network. More than ISO of the state-ofthe-art oomputer workstations are located in four new public computing sites in the first floo r of the Un~uate Library, the third floor of the Science and Engineer· ing Library and the second and third Boon of Lockwood Library. The second-Boor Lockwood <ite is an atended-houn location, while the first-floor south area in the UGLisopeu 24-hounaday,Mon· days through Thundays . There is no question that the technology upgrade requires a major investment of fuods, ,some of whi<h will come from the five· year, $105 million capital plan. Prtsident William R. Greiner lauds the state for its tiYe-~irMstment, but says UB, as a "big economic powu in Western New Yodt," ne<ds more than $105 million when it O:)[nes to investments in infrastruct:ure to make its vision a reality. With shrinking state resources, it's vital the university target new funding sour'ccs, Greiner adds. As a result, UB's development efforts have become increasingly impor· t2nt to iu future fucal health. Bridges wtth alumni Coinciding with iu expanded development effort, the universjty is in the process of infrastructure improvements in the form of ..rebuilding bridges with its alumni,: a resource that the university essentially stopped tapping for support in 1962 when the then pri· vate University of Buffalo became part of the State UniversitY of New York, says Ronald H. St~in, vi ~ president for advancement and devdopmenL The results to date, he notes, arc encouraging. "You need to understand that individuaJs are giving back to the unjversity because the university or one of its programs has given them something," he says . UB has 155,000 alumni who are leaders in their fields or in other ways very successful because of the edu· cation they reaived at UB, Stein says. And they're grateful to the insti· tution. Many were the first in their families to go to college. Others worked their way through college. " The y'r e indebted to th e universit y... for m aking th eir dreams possible. That's very exciting," be says. And the contributions that those alumni make to UB are the funds that, among supporting other investments, "allow the uni venity to compete for and retain the very best students." • �October 'IJ..l!WV1li.JII.It9 Repodar Archivist's work on front burner For Densmore, it's b~ a year ofprofessional production, recognition a, PATRICIA DOHOVAH News SeM<es Editor N American historian, author and respected specialist in ~vera) aspecUofNewYork State hi>tory, Christopher Densmore recently was named director <>f the University Archives.

The wax head of Nixon was Plesur's. "Milton would have loved this Ointon-l.ewinskything." Densmore said. Plesur was an expert in, among other subjects, the love lives and sexual peccadilloes of American presidents. "He would have had an absolute heyday." A 1990 recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Lib rariari.ship, Densmore is acutely awa re of the enormity of the iss ues facing archivists in the era of information technology. "With the adoption of computer technology as a co mmunication device," he said, .. archival th eory and practice are undergoing radical revision. Materials once saved because they had been identified as the ..original" doc ument, for instance, are no longer easily labeled as such, since the "original" is electron ic and all prints are identical. "Authenti ca tion of documents for legal purposes also is problematic and the proliferation of Web pages that change from day to day and week to week makes it more difficult to track the development of ideas ove r time through electron ic documents," he said. "Archival standards call for paper documents to last at least 500 yea rs, but we don 't know what happens over time to documents saved in a machine or on a computer disk or on a data tape. How long will these last? Two years? Two hundred? AU of these issues are being disc ussed and solutions proposed. It is a very int eresti ng time to be an archivist." 5 Elecbvnid!ighways ED Promoting Academic Honesty: Anti-Plagiarism on the Web ""'you seof'Chlng for repositories of downloadable ® papers to which your name may be affixed foraeademic credit?

UB personnel should not solicit such contributions. nor attempt tn compel any other political action or vote, from those individuals over whom they have supervisory authority. No university telephones, faus, supplies, letterhead, postage or other state resources of any kind ~be: used for political purposes. These and other restrictions are primarily contained in section 74 of the Public Officers Law, Section I 07 of the Civil Service Law and Section 17- 158 of the Election Law. Copies of these New York State laws are available for pickup at the circulation desk of Lockwood Library and the Law Library (205 O'Brian Hall) on the North Campus, and at the circulation desk of the Health Sciences Library on the South Campus. It is important to understand that, pursuant to state laW, political activities on state time or property may subject employees to criminal prosecution and thel~ss of employment. We at UB should be: willing and eager to take an active part. in the political processes of our community, state and oountry. lt is critically important, however, that such activity be pursued as individuals and within proper parameters as established by the laws of the State of New York. Thank you for your careful attention to these issues and absolute compliance with applicable restrictions. -R. P'esident ourselvesof~importantparameterspertain­ ing to political fund-raising and other campaign activities by or among university personnel Such parameters are found in state law, and it is essen· tial that,VB employees stay within them. 1l>is Jetter is not intended as a com~ review of existing law on the topic ofpolitical activities by state employees. but is intended to respond to several practical inquiries raised in the current.election campaign. Your attention to, and oompliance with, the following points are of great impor!ance: There must be a dear separation between political campaign activities and the performance of duties as emplo~es of the State University of New York. Political activities, including fund-raising, may not be: conducted on state property or state time. No political fund-raising tickets may be sold, purchased or transferred on campus, inside or outside of buildings. Similarly, no money or checks may be paid or collected on campus for such purposes. Moreover, university employees are prohibited from soliciting political contributions in off-bow. and off-campus from other university employees, 7 1<>1-_ ATHLETE OF THE WEEK strike in the third quarter.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

One liunus test for finding out how technologysavvy both owners and no n -owners have become, Bu rhans said, is whether they start using the com puter for purposes that have nothing to do with the class, such as for projects in other classes and for personal information -gathering. Where S[Udents d o their com p uting also is an important co n sideratio n. "We 'll be asking student owners tf they do a substantial am ount of co mputing in on · ca mpu s labs. even if they have a computer at home," saKI Burhans. She expects that thi s will be the case because labs have become centers for socializing. " UB is p utting a lot of effQrt into its public sites and that 's critical," she said. At the same time, she said, with commuters making up the majority of students on campus. in creased use of computers probably will help to bring students closer and provide more communit y, even ou tside of class. Burhans cautioned that some preconceptions about computer o wnership are not necessa ril y tru e. " J want to know if students who o wn computers are any m o re computer-literate to begin with," she said . .. I know from my pr('vio us classes that just owning one does not a priori make you a bet ter student. ..At the same, using a computer to educate isn't a priori bett er than using bla ckboard s and chalk. We need to see where th e computer really can make a diffe rence in education and com - munication among stud~nts and faculty.• Burhans also will be asking both sets of students to look at th~i r initial ape:riences at th~ course out~t and compar~ that with how co mputer-literate th ey feel by co urse's end. The pilot project a.J so will be used to get information on how well the university's network is servi ng its students.

Research B y - CHURCHIU Reporter sun T HEREaremajorchanges in th~ works for the Faculty Student Association, Inc., starting with a com· pl<te OV<rhaul of the dining services provided to UB through th< 1101-forprofit corporation. And Mitch Groen , the newly hired executive director of FSAwhich provides a variety of services to the university- has found his first major task in addressing the results of a consu ltant's report focusing on FSA's dining servi~s. The evaluation, conducted earlier this year by a research group affilia ted with Marriott Interna- tor for coUeges for 10 years prior to his recmt appointment Most recently, he was with the Roc:hesterbas<d Fine Host Corp. Before that, he was employed by !le'm2i universities in th< food-service am~ and his experimce tol21s 20-plus years. Mucb of what is included in the Marriott report "has real validity," Green said, especially criticisms of "how we present our services to tbe campus, tbe quality of our services. the timeliness of our services and orgaoizational structure." The report included analysis of data, consumer-need and satisfaction reviews; benchmarking against peer institutions, operations and facilities audits and analysis of man - tional, inc.. identified severaJ prob- agement structures. in the Student Union. Those two proj<cts an basically oompleted." The $250,000 physical overhaul of the Goodyear dining area on UB's South Campus has made the lems to be addressed by FSA. They Consultants conducted si~ visits and m<l with key campus constituencies in an effort to provide from its previous state. "Goodyear used to be your typical; straight- UB with recommendations on success fuctoTSt rustomer satisfaction, line cafeteria ,• Gree n said. But now, in addition to new furniture, and cost and budg<ling models for FSA and campus consideration. According to Oiff Wtlson, associate via: president for student affairs, Green has what it takes to put a plan into action. "He has wonderfuJ experiences in private entuprises the facility was transformed over mdude low customer satisfaction with the existing food service and problems in FSA management. FSA, which operates on campus under a contract with SUNY, is ad ministered by a board of directors drawn from campus facuJ ry, staff and students. In addition to dinmg services, FSA also provides rec reational services. dry cleaning and laundry services, administers the UBCard ID-card program and has a number of other functions. Green , who was hired in August and has his home~ in the Statler <:Ornmissary, is focusing on addressmg the problems in FSA's dining, catering, vending and retail sales. "We ~to look at changing the organization of people responsible (for food service),"Green said. With regard to patrons., and especially students in the dormitories, Green said there can't be a mindset of simply "we're happy to have them." Rather, "We're in a competitive environment and we have to re · spond to that ," he said. The job now, he says, is to "make sure we're operating on good busines.~ practices and not on historical practices." (;reen worked as a food com rae- facility almost unrecognizable the summer into a marche-type dining hall. Students sec their food pre- pared "up front," and several different stations offer a variety of foods like 'pastas, sa uteed veg - Wtlson said the report focused on what service; FSA should be offering and what customers =lly want. etables, tortillas and pizza. "We've tried to break up that area and incorporate the kitcben into the serving area so food is prepared dose to its point-of-service and students can see the fOOd being pre· pared." Groen said. "There's noth - .. They were very good at pointing out what we do well and what ing hidden, and there's much more vari<ty than we've ever had." that run food-service operations around the co untry. He brings a whole variant of experience to the campus that we desperately need.. we do poorly," Green said. "They Student feedback regarding the didn't give us any real implementation plans." It 's up to him to help tum the "blueprint'" into reality. So what 's been done to put the plan into action ? "We renovated the Goodyea r di ning hall," G reen said , "wi th a diffe rent style of service. which is running q uite n icely. We also put an ... ice cream and pretzel concept changes at Goodyea r has been .. very positive." Green said. For breakfast and dinner, dormitory SlUdents on the regular meal plan get an all-you -can-eat ticket to the different stations , which also indude an ice-cream station, a deli -bar and a .. Char ' n Grill " station for sandwiches, submar in es and hamburgers. Lo oking to the future , Green says the same concepu are being ~ed for the Governor's Resi - dence Halls, and plans are under way for a major overhaul of facili ties on the North Campus. The Marriott report indiated it might be more efficient to OO"'!'tidate the three major feeding areas in the Ellicott Complex: the Red Jacket and Ricbmond dining areas and the Student Club. There also is the possibility of building an addition to the Ellicott Complex to accommodate the change. "We're trying to bring together all the groups that this would alf= I need to talk with residence life, stu dent activities and the housing folks to sec what we're going to do. We need to get people from the physical plant involved and see how vi able it is to renovate that space." One of the major reasons to make changes, Green said, is the fact that "ou.r customer base has changed" over 20 years. In the past, "there was a mind s~t that the students wouJd live on campus, eat thr« meals a day here and that they wouldn't be very mobile." But now, ..we have a very mobile customer in our student population. Students have cars. There's Pizza Hut, there's (all types ofbusinesS<S ) that can deliver food." .. We 're in a very competitive environment and we have to respond to that competition.·· Work-related disorders are real, report says m By ELUN .GO~AUM New< Se<V~ces Edotor ..Our repon says that you cannot found that people who are ex - dismiss musculoskeletal disorders as posed to high levels of physical In addition, he said, individuals National Academy o f Sciences/ National Research Council steering comminee, co -chaired by a UB professor, has concluded that there is good evide nce that musculoskeletal disorders are , in fac t, caused by the physical forces people put on their bodies, including those encountered at work. T he committee's repon , .. Work Related Musculoskeletal Disordcrs: A Rt>view of the Evidence," w3s delivered to Capitol Hill recen tly and is available at <http:/1 www.n•p.edu / re•dlngroom > (search for musculoskeletal ). .. The question posed to our steering comm ittee was. ' Do we have a scientific basis for saying th at these disorders are, indeed. caused by wh at you do to your body?'" said Colin Drury, professor of industrial engineering at UB and co-chai r of th e com mit tee. being all in the mind,.. he said. The steering committee wa s convened in August at the request of the National Lnstitutes of Health to exam ine the cu rrent research base on work- related d isorders, such as repetitive stress injuri es to the back and upper limbs. The purpose of its charge was to review and comment on the quality of the science in the field that can then be used in the (X>licy debate. Some expe rts and legislators have stated that musculoskeletal disorders are not related to siressors experienced at work, with some going so far as to say that such diso rders are no t legi timate physical complaints. The committee found a strong bio logical connection between suc h disorders and a high level of exposu re to physical stressors in the workplace. "When we looked at the data, we forces at work are more likely to experience these disorders," said Drury... Also. if your job is one that has one of the hallmarks of stress, such as low social support and high demand, you also are mote likely to experi ence them." The report states that specific interven ti ons are effective in re ducing the rate of such disorders for individuals, but cautions that such interventions must be indj vidually tailored. Whi le work exposure is a key factor in such disorders, Drur y added that the committee found that it is not the only one. Otherfactorsindudehowone's job is organized and how much latitude an individual has in determining what task he or she will do next. " It is not just the biomechanics that can ca ust these disorders," said Dru ry, "but that, plus the may simply have more or less tal erance to tissue damage based on fac tors such as age and the presence of diseases like arthritis. "When we looked at the relative magnitudeofthephysicaleffect.s.as well as organizational and indi vidual differences, we found that none of them alone will predict who is susceptible to such disorders and who is not," he said. The committee foundthatthebiologicaloorrclation is strongest when forces are the greatest, and weakest with low-level stress. such as repeti~ stress injuriesexpcriencedby computer-users. "With disorders su ch as carpal tunnel syndrome, the evidence ts there, but there isn't the same degree of agreement," he said. The report cited estimated costs associatcdwithabse.ncesandcompe.nsatio n claims re:lated to these disorders·ranging from $ 13-20 bilLion annually. A 1<-.g - - ( N S r l, pout limo)(_,_. -~Fdllel.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

As a graduate assistant to Bud Kuntz in the early 1970s, I had the good fortune to work for him and Helen Wyant as they and others established the Professional Staff Senate. Interestingly, we were called NTPs, or non-teaching pro· fessionaJs, at the time. Recently while working with PSS past chair Michael Stokes, I became impressed again with the importance of PSS at UB and the opportunities it offered all profes-. sional staff to have an active role in what happens at the university. With the encouragement of Michael and Henry j . Durand, di rector of the Center for Academic Devdopment Se rv ices/Educational Opportunity Program, I decid~ that it was my tum to contribute to PSS and UB.

To increase the flow of informa· lion to professional staff and promote communication among staff, PSS has expanded its Web site and is in the process of establishing a listserv of its 1,600-plu.s members. The Web site will contain: the names and addresses of all officers and senatoro; the dotes, times and locations of meetings (general membership. senators', areas and committees); minutes from past meetings. and the charges, members and minutes of all committees. The listserv will allow all interested members to receive and to respond to messages from fellow staff, sena· tors and offi.ars. 1am very inte rest~ in continuing PSS efforts to establish and promote professional development opportunities for staff.

Thjs con tradicts the assumption widely held by neuroscientists for conflicting results, the studies suggestM that functional differences based on sex were more likdy when the linguistic demands of the task are greater. Although the UB study set out to examine that premise, Jaeger said researchers were amazed at the clear and consistent panerns of differentiation that emerged. PET scans were used to track more th an a ce ntury that the brains of women and men are or- ganized functionally the same way for language. The study by UB researchers strongly implies the existence of other sex-differentiated cognitive functions. It predicts a major new direction in pure and applied research ·in neurology, developmental psychology, pediatrics, linguistics, aphasiology (the study of the language disorders caused by brain trauma) and other neurosciences. The study, p.:Wiished in the August issue of NturoReport, was headed by Jeri Jaeger, associate prof<SSOr of linguistics, and Lockwood, professor of neurol and nudear medicine, and adj ct professor of comrders and sciences. 1 e mb ers of th e university's Cent for Cognitive Scien ce, and Lock od is director o f PET Operations in the Center for Positron Emiss10n Tomogra phy, a joint project o f UB and th e Veterans Administration of West ern New York Healthca re System. The principal findings a re : • In m en, the brain is o rganized bi la terall y only for si mple i a n ~ guage fun cti o ns such as simp le rea din g tasks. When th e task is co mplex, that is, associa ted more with grammatical or lexica l tasks th at require in -depth linguist ic processi ng, males show more ro ~ bust left lateralization of the cerebral cortex. • In wo men , th e brain is organized bilateraiJy for both simple and complex language fun ctions. That is, regardless of the complex ity o f the task, females solve it by engaging the left and right hemi spheres of the ce rebral cortex. The higher ac tivation in females' occipi tal and/or cerebellar regions suggests sex differences in basic readi~g strat egies. • Despite sex-differentiated vari~ a nces in neuraJ-act iviry patterns, blood flow in the cerebral cortex of nine male and eight female subjects as they performed two simple and three complex language tasks, Blood flow in the corW< indicates the ebb and flow of brain activity.

The brain lateraliza tio n patterns un covered in the UB stud y may cor relate with sex- based differ ences in informati on process ing. supe rior female perfo rm ance on language tasks and superior per formance by men on visual-spa tia l tasks, accordin g to Jaeger. She said th ey also suggest th(" need to develop gender-based re· habilitation str ategies to tr eat a phasia and ot her d iso rd ers related to traumatic brain injury. Until now, the fundamental and controversiaJ question of whether the brains of men and women are organized functionally the same way for language has remained unan swered, despite more than a cenrury of research in cognitive science. Contradictory outcomes reported by previous studies are due to the fact that...,n when test subjects included both men and women , researchers usually did ,;ot analyze their results by sex, Jaeger said. methodofogy locates the specific areas of the cortex activa!ed during the performance of discrete tasks. The researchers found that dur· ing simple language tasks, aU sub- jects demonstrated bilateral activity in the cerebral cortex (i.e., ac- tivity in both the left and right cortical hemisph eres). Thi s indicates that when solving simple tasks requiring awareness and judgment, the brai ns of men and wo men op erate in a similar way. During complex tasks, howt"Ver, men exhibited strong left -lateralization, while women co ntinued to de mo nstra te bilateral activation. This finding runs counter to prevail ~ ing assumptions in the field that language is left- lateralized for t"Veryone. The lo ng- held assumption that language function is located in the left cortical hemisphere is based largely on brain studies of men , Jaeger said. Upon it rests a vast body of research that models and p red icts bram development, bt· havio r and th erapeu tic processes. " Unfortunately," she sa1d, "we've had th e mistaken impres.s1on that what we've learned from male subjects can be applied to women as well. " In fact," she said. "virtually all of o ur ideas about the brain from the olec ular We lln ess" will be di scussed by phys io logy expe rt Frank W. Booth in the lOth annual J.

G r ant called on administration , faculty members and st udents to " make a new commitment to community and morale" during his keynote speech at UB's fourth annual University Convocation on Oct. I . G rant, who assumed the deanship of the CoUege of Arts and Sciences when it was formed in luly, told a crowd of several hun - dred of the "utter necessity that every member of our university~ an active participant• in bring ..a sou rce of suppon and energy." During his speech in the Mainstage theater in the Center for the Ans, Grant focused on ac· countability and UB's faculty. "Progress," he said, "must ulti· mately be driven by changes in the facu lty culture. A need for this is a heightened sense of accountability. "Faculty, please listen ca refully. It 's accou nt~bility to each other. Not to the administration. Not to SUNY Albany. So ]turn to the faculty and ask that each of you ask the other that each member carry a fair share of the load. .. ft is a very simple matter,.. Grant added. "Everyone co nlributes, everyone gains, everyone is equally obligated." During the talk. Grant outlined his own story, describing himself as a "marginal high-school student, an ill-directed junior·colfege studen t and an atraordinarily naive uru~r­ sity transfer student" However, he said, he was "transformed " by ..encoun tering professors who cared enough to be criti · cal and demanding in ways that somehow challenged, rather than rejected." Referring to a recent report from a consulting firm hired to ~aluate UB and its public relations, Grant noted: "Remarkably. it reported t.hat the faculty and the staff view more negativel y our service and our outco mes wi th our stude nt s than did the students who received our se rvices." Grant compared the effort required of fa culty members to that of a mountain -climbing team. .. If I were here to cheerlead, I'd be wearing a varsity sweater," he added . "It is time to start climbing again. " Imagine trying to move a climbing team forward in which various members arg ue, ' I don't want to climb any more. I've come this far, and I'm entitled to continue on wi thout further exertion.' "Each of us mu st climb for ourselves, and yet each of us mu st climb for the group at the same time," he said.

Ronald of a tendency to focus on ..creden- Gentile, a faculty member in the tials rather than education." Instead, the public-research university shouJd offer a "transfonna ti~ education" that leads to "intellectual growth and change." G rant said. "We need to control the cost of higher education. We need to manage our personnel and facilities bet· ter. We need to reconsider many aspects of our values and praaices. .. We are, indeed, well under way on our journey at the University at Buffalo," Gran t said. "And even if the old axiom is true that 'You ca n tell when you're on the right road because it's all uphill,' we have come a great distance." Co mmenting on Grant 's message, President William R.. Greiner noted, "We do need more, and our way of getting that is not going to be to hold out a tin cup. It 's going to be work harde r and smarter." The convocation was preceded by a procession of faculty, staff and administrators dad in ca ps and academic gowns, from Founders Plaza to the Mainstage. Accompanied by students carryi ng banners representing ca mpu s organiza tions, the procession was led by a bagpiper and mace-bearer Peter A. J tlo-.,- 1998 Distinguishod Teaching Professor. In addition, six faculty mem bers, two librarians and four professionolstalf members were honored as 1998 recipients of the SUNY Chancellor's Awards for Excellence.

And although UB created the Co llege of Arts and Sciences this fall to do just that , forming the college .. is the beginning; h's not the end," he points out. " We ca n't have a major univer~ stty unless we have strength in the art s and sciences." Once the administ rative reorganizatio n of the former faculties of Arts and Letters, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences and Math ematics is complete, there will have to bt "some serious planning for the arts and sciences as a whole" that will emphasize some programs more than others. he says. "We'vegot to reviewwhere~are and then make some more explicit determinations about how each of these areas is going to develop and where we're going to invest, in terms of maintaining and building real strength and excellence in areas where we want to maintain credible, solid programs. but not necessarily ones that are going to be outstanding on the national scene." A stro ng program in th e art s and sciences will aid UB's goal of making the master's degree the .. larget " degree. a standard that, Headrick explains, will be expected as the nation moves into the 21st century with a work force that will require broader and higher levels of competence. In making the master's degree the target degree for students entering the university as freshmen or transfers, UB is .. trying to stake out a place in higher education and in SUNY; it would give us a very distinctive cast," Headrick says. A combined BS/MS program in medicinal chemistry already has been approved by the state Depanment of Education, while proposals for combined programs in math ematics, applied economics and civil, structural and environmental engineering are pending in Albany. This strategy also would alter the un iversity's enroUment mix to in dude a greater percentage of gradu - ate students, which would help in stemming the recent decline in graduate enrollment, he says. Graduate education-particu larly on the docto ral level-received much attention in Headrick's plann ing document. And wh ile the documen t rec omme nded that one-quarter of US 's graduate programs be in the tOp q uaitile of the National Re search Council rankings, Headrick says he now thinks at least onethird of the progr.tms should be in that quartile, with a few .. well up in the top quartile."

Headrick points to faculty members as playing a key role in determining which programs to drop and which ones to emphasize, since they should know where student in terests, as well as demands in the job markrt, lie. These types of factors have contributed to recent program consolidations, including the merging of the Department of Computer Science and the computer engineering component of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences into the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and the soon-to-be merged Department of Communication and the School of Library Studies into a School of Information Studies. There are broad areas where UB as an instit ution "clearly has a leg up on the rest of the SUNY system ,.. Headrick says, such as the health sciences, including the bi ological and chemical sciences, and engineering. "Those are the areas in terms of academic research development, in terms of translation of that into meaningful contributions to the economy and society, where people are looking to universities to bemajor engines of innovation and contributions to the economy," he says. UB's size fosters Interdisciplinary actlvtty Headrick notes that one of the strengths of a mid-sized university lilo: UB is the opportunities faculty members have to work with colleagues from other disciplines, "devdoping new ideas. new knowledge and innovations of one kind or an other that won't necessarily come out of working within the tradi tional boundaries of the disciplines.• Moreover, the diversity of UB's arts and sciences programs and the variety of professional schools represented at the university also encourage interdisciplinary activ ity, he says. While that type of work already is happening at UB, he stresses, "we can do more." Among interdisciplinary pro ~ grams recently established are tht' Environment and Society Institute and the Institute for Research and Education on Women and Gender. Initiii.'P,~ for both groups came directly &om the faculty. In addition. the UB site of the National Center for Geognphic Information and Analysis. a National Science Foundation-funded center devoted to the study of the booming field of geographic information science (GIS), incorporates the work of faculty members and graduate students in a broad range of departments. The university's e"1phasis on research that crosses disciplinary boundaries has helped put it at the forefront of the fidd. The National Science Foundation just this month awarded UB a $2.2 million grant for a unique project in GIS_ A ·new multidisciplinary doctoral- level concentration in GIS-believed to be the first in the nation-has been established at UB and starting next fall, approxi mately 18 fe Uowships of S I 5,000 per year will be available to doctoral students in se-ven departments. Headrick says that the committee that was formed to develop procedures and policies for the creation of interdisciplinary centers and institutes has presented its ini tial report. That report currently is making its way through various campus constituency groups. Opponunities to build interdisciplinary interactions with col ~ leagues and maintain important faculty in&astructun. such as laboratory space, equipment and staff suppon, are kqs to investing in faculty, both in retaining valued faculty members, as wdl as bringing in topnotch faculty members with fresh ideas and approaches, he maintains. Investing In the quality of life UB also is investing in its stu dent body. both academically and socially. On the recruitment front, the Office of Admissions is making more direct -mail contacts with high -school students, as weU as conducting telemarketing using a computer program called Forecast Plus to identify and personally call prospective students who are considered more lilo:ly to enroU at UB. It soon will open an offi~ on Park Avenue in Manhattan to in crease the university's outreach to prospective students in the New York metro area. The unive rsity also has insti- tuted a merit -based scholarship program to raise the profile of the entering freshman class. · 'I'M dfon appears to be paying off. At the un<krgraduate leY<I, UB this fall =-led itslllrgdS for both freshmen-with a beadcount of 2,932, 132 shove the target-<l!ld transfer student5-1,683, 83 above target- l~s the second year in a row that numbers in both categories are up. Moreover, the mean combined SAT score for members of the Class of 2002 increased II points. to 1145, an improv<ment that ad ministrators say faculty members should sec in the classroom. To improve retention once students enroll, UB has begun some block registratio~small groups of studmts in theprne sections of required oourses,-so they • get to know one ano'\er. The university also lias expanded greatly the number of S<ftionsfrom 10 to ~f the "UB 101 " orientation coune it offers each fall to help more freshmen learn their way around the university. As the univetsity's chief academic offiar, Headrick notes that his natura) focus is on the academic needs of the students. But it 's also ex· tremely imponanr to address their other "support" needs, he adds. "Truly one of the strengths of having a College of Arts and Sciences is that we' re going to get so me focus on how to, in total, serve the needs of undergraduate students, both their educational needs as well as the other support ,. needs of undergraduates in this kind of environment (a large, comprehensive university). .. Without the students, there is no reason to have a university." The university is moving to add ress other ..quality of life" issues in various ways, including the con ~ struction of housing-both graduate housing with the Flickinger Court complex on Chestnut Ridge Road adjacent to the Nonb Campus, as well as the current projtct under way to build undergraduate housing on ~ site bounded by the Audubon Parkway and Hadley and Rensch roadsand the upgrade of the athletics program to Division I-A, to be completed next fall with the move of the football progrnm into the Mid-American Conference. Headrick notes that for UB to move forward toward its goals, all members of the university community will have to bt involved. • we've all got to contribute to improving, not only the quality of this univtrsity as we know it . .. but we've all got to participate in shaping the image of this university that 6ts with our aspirations and our reality, so that we are att-rac· tive to students, so that when we make commitments about what wr'~ providing, we honor tho~ commitments to our students and to our graduates," he says. "'These are criticaUy important.• �Octaberl!I!II/Vtlk7 Rap a .... 7 Lookingatangerinanewway ~ ~ qwyiRustingsiUdies why some individuals are more anger-prone ll)r- ~ Reporter SUfi D RING her graduate studies at the Univer- sity of Michigan, Cheryl L Rusting became fascinated with a particular type of person: "somebody who doesn't have strong emotions."' •rve always wanted to know why some people are more emotional than other people,• said Rusting, now a reSc.rch psychologist at UB. Rusting found her niche in trying to find out why people peraive the world in diffmnt ways. "Why doesn't everybody just ha>oe th< same reaction to a situation?" she said. One focus of her current re search is on anger, which she describes as .. part of my interest more generally in personality and emotions." The assistant professor began her career at UB in the FaU 1997 semester, almost immtdiately after fini~Jling her graduate work. few ~les on anger With a focus on social and personality psychology, Rusting says she "can't think of a particular tifQe" when she was struck with an interest in emotions, or more specificaUy, anger. Instead, there was a "gradual realization" that there was relatively little being done in the field. Some people just seem to be "anger-prone," Rusting said. They perceive the world as provocative and hostile. Also, they aren't as likely to seek escape: from the emotion of anger as they are from other"'nega- tive emotions." such as sad ness, guilt, nervousness and depression. Traits of the emotion of anger also sparked the interest of Rust ing because they seem so very different from those of other nega tive emotions. Anger is different for two main reasons, Rusting said. First, it 's ..outward directed." \o\l'hile negative emotions such as nervousness, guilt and embarrass ment a re focused on the self, an ger seeks its target out in the world; for example, in another person . " When you're angry,.. Rusting said, .. you're focused on something else ... Second, "Other negative e:mot.ions make you feel bad, like depression, where you want to get ' out (of it). I think it feels bad to be angry, but some· times people want to stay angry; she said.

AIJ'of the results aren't in, but so fur it's pretty clear that "people who are prone to anger are more likdy to interpm th< situations they encounter in life as more anger-provoking. or more hostile." Rusting said. "What is it that's making them more angry! We think it's because they're really focusing on the perceived hostility of, (for example). another person," she said. Some current research involves "giving a person a scenario that could be interpreted in either way, benign or hostile ." Not surpris ingly, people high in anger-prone ness tend to view the situation as hostile or provocative. Creative Craft Center is located at 120 Koudelka, host, at 64S-J...489. e -ft ~ --.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

Mhurl'ogt Seventy-five yeats ago, the University of Buffalo recognized that working adults and some "youths" were unable to attend the univer· sity during its traditional day session. The university created the evening session, later renamed Millard Fillmore CoUege, where the non-traditional students could study the business sciences and the arts. Millard Fillmore CoUege was created as an extension of the university and its mission was s-ervice to the public through education. I don't tliink so, either on or off campus. On MFC is still seen by some as the traditional "night school" that educated adult students by cloning undergraduate day prograDU and making them convenient only by their evening hours. This is a limited vi~ of MFC. which is a "different side of UB." In stead, MFC's programs need to be redesigned to aaommodate the working adult's lifestyle and learning sryles-we're talking about more than just convenience, "-hutheroleofMfC cunged over the put 75 ye•n? but serious reconsideration of Fo r three-quarters of a century, MFC has embodied the protean spirit of the university. Changing with the times. MFC has expanded and contracted its mission accordingly. With the "evening coUege" as its core, MFC has provided comprehensive oont:inuing education as a division of the university With degr-. credit courses, non-credit programs. conferences and even served as an administrative home for WBFO. Gls returning from WW!I, Korea, and Vietnam found access to UB through MFC. Workers retraining for new jobs during Bulhlo's economic downturn found MR: as their educational home at UB. Today, MFC still serves the working adult, but also the traditional day student. Besides serving the public, MFC has served the univer>ity'senrollment management by acting as a release valve for overcrowding in the past and more recently supplementing day-course needs.

Whereas today's MFC studmts are talring undergraduate depea, I expect that !heR will be increasing intereot in post-b.calaureate certificates and degrc>es. Student demands will increase the nc>ed to provide short courses; modulardesigned, content-focused programs offered on weeunds, starting and stopping at times outside the traditional S<rnester system. w multidisciplinary, doctoral-level concentration in geographic information science-. believed to be the fir>t in the nation-has been established at UB with the suppo rt of a five-year, $2.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Starting next faU, approximatdy 18 fellowships of $15,000 per year will be available to doctoral students in seven departments. The funding, which also will support student research and the administrativr costs of the program, wasawarded to UB's National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCG IA ), one of thrc>e sites of an NSF-funded center that conducts research in geographic information science. Out of 630 pre-proposals, the grant to UB was one of only 16 awaoled under the NSFs Integrative Graduate Education and Research Thlineeship (IGERT) program. Geographic information science (GIS) is booming, according to the University Consortium for GIS: it's a $2 billion-a-year industry in the U.S. and is expanding at an annual rate of 20 percent. Applications of geographic information science are addressing important social pro~lems ranging from the handling of medical emergencies, to fighting crime, to monitoring agricultural crops. Currently, almost every student with GIS skills. even at the undergraduate level, gets a job in the field; more pc>nple with advanced training are needed for positions in both education and industry. "This is a growing research area that has a lot of important problems and there is an increasing demand for researchers," said David Mark, professor of geography at UB and director of the Buf· falo site of the NCGIA. In particular, Mark said, there is an increasing demand for fac ulty in other disciplines who are familiar with GIS. While geography departments are generally t.he home base for GIS studies, Mark explained, the field reaches into engineering, social science, philosophy, computing and beyond. Doctoral students in the new concentration at UB will take a core of required and declive GIS courses while they earn degrc>es from one of the seven participating departments: anthropology, computer science, environmental engineering. industrial engineering, philosophy and political science, as well as gc>ngraphy. "In terms of the breadth of our offerings and the number of faculty involved in geographic information science, UB is easily among the top 10 universities in the U.S.," said Mark, who added that the university's emphasis on research thi\t crosses disciplinary boundaries has hdped put it at the forefront of GIS. More than 50 faculty member> at UB in a broad range of depart ments are conducting research that in some way relates to the science of geogfaphic information science, a field that, by its nature, m is multidisciplinary, he said. At UB, research<rS are using GIS to analyze patterns of crime in specific neighborhoods, develop suburban deer· management sot£... tions and examine problems in caring for the dderly when family members live far away. GIS researchert across the nation are particularly interested in funding for a major new project proposalrdubbed "the digital earth" that was suggested in a recent speech written for Vice PresidentGore. A kind of human genome project for the planet, "the digital earth" is envisioned as a powerful technological tool with the potential to map scientific, environmental, historical, political, cultural and other informi.tion tied to geographic louiions around the globe.

The new methodology, Greiner maintains, will allow UB to expand in both enrollment and programs. .. lt'scrudaUyimportant that we build out; part of the goal should be to get bigger,.. he says. In addition to increasing enrollment, the vision, he says, is to be "first and foremost better in the quality of the program we offer; better in the quality of students we attract; move slowly to expand our graduate component .. . and begin to attract more students from outside of New York State." including international students. To be seen as a truly distinguished university, UB must play up its distinctiveness, those programs that "give us the edge, that set us apart," Greiner says. For example, he notes, the Graduate School of Education is focusing its programs on urban ed ucation , while the Graduate School of Social Work program is combining research and practice, with an emphasis on addictions and how they impact on family life. "We shouldn't try to do everything anywhere across our aca demic enterprise," he says, noting that choices will have to be made and programs consolidated. "If we do that rigorously over the next I0 years, we really can transform this institution." To make that happm, he says. i(s mandatory that 'the wllvttsity target new funding sources, including its 140,000-150,000 living alumni, many of whom have done well professionally and financially. "We hope that we can begin to change the vocabulary about philanthropy for public institutioos in New York." he says. Partnerships are vital UB also must form partnerships · for public-service work, since the state allocates little or no funding for that purpose, he says. .. Other great state universities do huge amounts of public service based on a leveraged approach in which they have some state investmc:nt." he says. "We need to petSuade the state to invest and then we've got to leverage iL"The year-old Institute for Local Governance and Regional Growth, he notes. already is a prime example of a small investment by the university that can return "many fold that original investment." The university also must fo rm closer connections. with private business, such as its fi rst univer- to depend on the state providing total funding? The state funding it does receive must be wed wisely and Owbly. Public Is "better" Although be is a product of private higher education, Greiner insists that public education is "better." "We take seriously the fatt that we are of a larger society and we serve a larger society," he says. The great Midwestern wllvttsities "have demonstrated that )'OU can be both superb academically, in terms of )'OUr teaching and )'OUrresearch, but also be outstanding in terms of the way )'OU provide publi' service." Although the people of New York State built UB with their tax dollars, "that doesn't mean they have to (continue to) payforiL We ought to say, 'Thank you for )'Our investment. .. now, please; let us take advantage and leverage that for you. Let us figure out how we can develop additional support for the institution.'" us. he stresses, increasingly is taking the initiative one! being proactive. "What )'OU can't do is have a 'victim mentality' and not do anything; )'OU have just got to keep plugging." For example, all undergraduate applications to ~UNY campuses must pass through Albany before they go to the individual cam puses, Greiner notes, because New York State high-school oounselors prefer that procedure. But, he says, there's "absolutely no reason"to pass transfer-student and out-of-state applications through Albany, since the oounselors are not involved with these students. As a resul~ UB will begin to accept online applications directly from these students via the World Wide Weh. He suggests that in approaching the state Division of the Budget and SUNY's ·central administration, UB should be saying "Look. this is the way real universities are run ; let us run like that: Why not let SUNY have a university that is the equal of a Universityoflllinois or Michigan" and that doesn't have Alhletla l1lise prollle of - Altbougb some hllve criti<:i2<d UB for spending precious r<SOW<IOS on atbletic:s instead of in tho daosroom, Gr.iner nous tim one in which tho major Midwestern public unMrsiticshllvedistinguisbod thermdvesin tMr Slate, .. wdl .. in 'tho oatioml arma. is through tMr atbletic:s progrmas.

But perhaps more impo.w;tly. he says, student athletes "bring more involvement and investment in the community than maybe the average student; As be looks to the univenity in the first decade of the 21st century, Greiner acknowledges that if UB is to achieve its goal of becoming a great Midwestern-type institution, it will require buy-in by everyone in the campus community. lovesting in the future of UB is not the . job of the univmity administration alone. It rdies on the efforts of faculty and staff member. as well. "We're all part of a oommunity that has a important job to do," Greiner stresses. "E-r single personwho'samembe:rofthecommunity ooritnbutes to that job." from the grounds crew to the professional staff to distinguished professors. "We have to try to build a sense of community and com munity pride at all levels." does not negate the fact that overall UB's professional schools could "do a better job in recruiting" graduate students and that "we have to make some of our pro· grams more attractive. .. We have to think about what the ma rUt wants," he added, "not what the faculty wanL" In some programs, he noted, stipends for graduate students faU shan of thQse offered at other universities... That hurts us in the end," he said."We have to catch up there." Overall, he added, "there are a whole host of things we can do" to boost graduate enrollment. Sullivan noted that the shortfall of 188 FTEs this semester wiU require that spring-semester enrollment be that number over target if enrollment for the 1998-99 academic year is to be in line with the university's budget and revenue projections in its financial plan. Wagner noted: "Our efforts will be focused on making the tuition revenue shortfall as small as pas- sible. We frankly hope it won't e.x ceed $500,000." SUNY this year instituted a new Resource Allocation Methodology to allocate state tu: suppor1 that allows for the retention of all tuition and tees by the individual campuses. Wagner said that for campuses with a revenue shortfaJJ due to enroUments below-target, the practice will be the same as in previous yars: campuses need to !educe expenditures by an amount equal to the shortfaJJ to balance their budgets. -r --....,._llolp.,_,_ In t h e . _ , c_,nlty to help build- -.llJ of-,__ sity-wide partnership with Xerox.

Insider's view of world events Powell regales record crowd with accounts of military career, politics By .ON CHUIICHIU Reporter Staff L. Powell captivated an estimated 5,000 people in Alumni • Arena Sept. 24 with firsthand aceoilif!l of major world events, his views on current political happenings.aod his more recent pursuits in helping America's youth. Between standing ovations and rounds of applausc,-Powell, former presidentiaJ advisor and former chairman of the )oint Chiefs of Staff, kept the record-breaking crowd silenced, especially during discussions of his military roles in matters of national security. The first guest in UB's 1998-99 Distinguished Speakers Series, Powell, who is perhaps best known for his commanding role in Operation Desert Storm in the 1991 Persian Gulf War and his status as a possible presidential candidate, covered a vast array of topics. Introduced by President William R. Greiner as "the embodiment of the American Dream," Powell said he's sticking to his guns about not entering the presidential race. Citing his previous claims of commitment to his family and the fact that he's "still fundamentally a soldier" and not a politician, Powell said ..therc's a requirement for public life that 's so invasive ... that we couldn't do it as a family." He noted the intensive medi a coverage that followed him and his fa mily during th e height of hi s fame. " I found reporters looking in my garbage can. I found them folJowin g- my famil y members," Powell said. Of special interest, he cited one investigative reporte r from a British tab loid who traced Powell 's family roots and made 14th century connections to the Royal Family in England. A headline to the effect, "Powell is Royalty: Re · lated to Diana and the Queen" soon screamed acro'ss the globe. " I thought , 'This is cool. Why should I run for president ? J'm in line to be king!'" But Powell took a serio us ton e when talking about the possibil · ity of presidential candidacy. 'Tm finding a new way to serve now," he said, referring to his new position as ch air of Ameri ca's Promise-The Alliance for Yo uth , a nationaJ campaign launched to help young people get the support they need. "Eve ry c hild a t ri sk must be made a child of promise," Powell said.

"Go to Germany" and " In a time of war do not let the Ru.!> sian Army come through, do you understand?" PoweU was asked. " J understand. I've been doing that for 28 years," he quipped.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.

The grant from Toshiba Ameri· can Medical Systems, wruch estab. lished the cen ter at UB with a $3.6 million gift, will fund res~arch on the dynamics of blood now and improving the ability to view structures in the brain while decreasing X-ray exposure. One of the most advanced neuroimaging facilities in th e world, the center house s a multidisciplinary research team of experts from neurosurgery, me chanical and aerospace engineering, radiation, physics, computer science, surface scie nce, cli nical engineering and neurolog y. Grants from The Margaret L. Wendt Foundation and the John R. Oishei Foundati o n . both of Buffalo, also helped get the center started. The new grant will support work in progress in two areas: region -of-interest {ROI} fluoroscopy and blood. now analysis. Researchers on the fluoroscopy proj ec t are developing a high resolution image processing unit to provide the clearest possible view of pin-pointed sites, or .. regio ns of interest,.. in the brain, whiJe at the same time decreasing the patient's X-ray exposure dur- ing diagnosis and treatment. The newest treatments for stroke involve threading tiny in· strunlents through the veins in the body until they reach affected areas in the brain, where they are used to seal aneurysms, dissolve blood clots, or place an implanL Imaging methods that provide clear views of tiny blood vessels and miniature implants deep within the brain arc cri tical to their success. US researchers in the center's Hemodynamics Division are studying blood - flow patterns and their effects on atheroscle rosis, aneurysms and blood-vessel malformations, all major causes of stroke. Colleagues in the Prostheses Design Division will use this information to design better implantable prosthe- ses that are used to correct aberrant blood flow. This work has enabled L Nelson Hopkins, professor and chair of neurosurgery, professor of radiology and the center-s director, to successfully implant in two patients an c.xpe:rimental stent designed by UB resean:hers specifi· cally for usc in patching brain an eurysms. The Food and Drug Ad ministration approved the use of the stent for experime.nt'al purposes in July. Successful new imaging capabilities, implant design, and surgical techniqu.. developed at the Tosruba Stroke Research Center will lead to better treatment and prevention of stroke in humans, the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the number- one cause of adult disability. �September14.19!B!Yol.30.i1.5 Repaalea Mentoring: why UB needs it Minority farulty leave for long list ofreasons, Malave teDs FSEC lly SUE WUETCHU News Services Associate DirKlor A n Hispanic woman , Lilliam Malave canalttst to the .. frustration"' of being a minority fa culty member al UB. "Today, after 19 years, I happen to be the only nonwhite person (faculty member) in the Graduate School of Education, besides the dean," Malave, associate professor of learning and instruction, told her colleagues on the Faculty Sen- ate Executive Committee during lhe group's Sept. 16 meeting. During discussion of a propooal lhat recommends the creation of a menloring program for junior facuhymembel:s,she noted lha1 she has ~ member.; of minority groups JUred for fuculty positions, only 10 leave for a variety of reasons. Among them are loneliness, lack of onllegial role models and heavy committee and advising respo!ISibilities. Ust Is long. story sad .. The list (of reasons) is very long and I think it 's a very sad story," said Malave, who described herself as o e of the few minority faculty m hers who .. made it" (received enure) at UB. The en ironment at UB also is hostile for omen faculty members, She ad " lfyou(wom n)wanllogettenul"e, you don't n a husband, you need a wife," sheljoktd. " There is a lack of understanding from our weD-esteemed, well-respected male colleagues about the tradition of women faculty," in addition to that of minority faculty, she said. The men to ring proposal from the senate's Affirmative Action Committ~ rteommends that all junior faculty members-not only women and minorities- have the opporlunityto request and be assigned an advocate/advisor or a oommittee as soon as he or she is appointed lo the unM:rsity, or at any point within the tim few years of service. The program is designed to in crease the retention of junior fac ulty members , in particular women and minorities. But "there's no problem with retention if you haven't hired anyone,• Gerard Rosenfeld, professor of anthropology and co-chair of the Affirmative Action Committee, pointed out. Others express concerns Rosenfeld mated lha1 he had been al UB for25 years"and 111 say, quit<: frankly, lhat bad I lmowh lhe mix would be as il was all those 25 yean, I never would have oome here." In those 25 years, be said, the anthropology department, "with one exception," has hired no minoritieo. l;ie.o.o_led lhat il is particularly disappointing in a department whose members fancy themselves 10 be "globet rotters" whose work brings them to locales across the globe. The concerns expressed by Rosenfeld and Malave were echoed by Loyce Stewart , associate director of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action Administration. Ahhough UB does not formally conduct exit in terviews when employees leave the university, Stewart told senators that she has heard the same com plaints from faculty members as those expressed by Malave: lack of direction and motivation , heavy committee work and burdensome advising responsibilities. She cited the case of one faculty member who had advisi ng duties for all minority student's in the depa rt ment- morethan l~..o nlybecause the faculty member ha p pened to be a minority." William Fischer, vice provost for faadty development, stressed thai menloring "begins at the point of hiring. Departments musl understand lhat they are not hiring for den>ographics..IIO bringlhework of a particular faculty member into the department in a way thai is in~<:­ graled, appreciated and supported" Don Schack, professor of math ematics, suggested that the senate get more information about mentoring programs that are al ready in place in some schools, such as those' in the schools of law and engineering; .. before we put something in place .. .lel's study what's actually worked." Fisher advised against spending a lot of lime studying other mentoring programs. Good will, energy needed .. What's clear to me (from the engineering and law programs) is that each discipline and locale will produce its own particular system that's appropriate for the pressures and requirements ·of those envi fonmentst Fisher said. " I would recommend not spendi ng too much time investigating and producing evidence on this. The main issue is to get the responsibility down to the deans and chairs. " I don't think this ( mentoring proposal ) needs 10 be elaborate," he continued. "When you finally come down to it, mentoring is going to rely on the good will and volunteer energies of the faculty.

Development Center Faculty, staff urged to use leadership resources By MAliA McGINNIS News Sefvices Editorial Assistant approac hes its oneear anniversary, the t udent Leadership evelopment Center is encouraging faculty and staff. in addi tion to students, to utilize its offerings as a professional-devel opment resource. Located in 230 Student Union, the center specializes in address· ing leadership concerns and in fostering individual and group lead ership development for the entire UB community. The center offers training and guidance on such topics as listening skills, conflict management, creativity, diversity. conducting meetings, publi c speaking and teamwork. "Students are still our main focus and will always come first," noted Frank Ciccia, director of student leadership development. .. But if professors and other university professionals are able to take on an enhanced leadership role, it will en;tble them to better meet the needs of students." According to Ed Brodka, assistant director of student leadership development. several departments and offices on campus are moving from a hierarchical structure to more of a team -oriented structure:. "We can point them in the right direclion ," said Brodka. "We don 't teach 'how to be a bener boss' but rather how to form coalitions and partnerships with people lo in crease the effectiveness of a group. If faculty and staff are working better in a team structure, then they will be more effective in how they deal with students." Brodl<a and Ciccia noted that they have an extensive list of resources, including books, videos. audiotapes and CD-ROMs. They emph¥ized that with the increasing emphasis on intensive teamwork in the classroom, as weU as within individ ual departments, it is extremely important that everyone in the UB community is able to take on a leadership role in different settings. According to Brodka, the resources on conducting mutings are the most pop ular wi th UB employtes and students. "No one really talks about how to meet. People love it because we have guides on everything from how to formuJate an agenda to tips on running a productive meeting." All of the services and resources provided by the center are fr« to the UB community. "We are not trying to sell a book, an idea or a concept, but rather trying to meet the needs and concerns of students, farultyandstaffhereat UB," noted Ciccia. "We're encouraging the staff to use the materials in the center and to take advantage of the trained student consultan ts we have on staff... Some leadership development workshops being offered this fall include: .. Running an Effective Meeting" (Sept. 28 ), "Tune Management Strategies for Succc55"' (Oct. 14 ), "Successful Teams" (Oct.27) and "Skills to Diffuse aod Resolve Conflict" (Nov. 3 ).

UB at Sunrise." Serious school violence has. become a "national epidemic" in the past 10 years, he said during tbe Sept. 16 talk, which was titled, \ .. Preventing and Responding to Violence in Our Schools.· Ewing made his point by citing several recent high -profile school shooting ·cases, including one in March in which two studenr.s:'agrii 13 and II , are charged witb staging a false fire alarm and ambush- ing students exiting a schooJ in Jonesboro, Ark., killing four students and a teacher and wound ing I 0 otber students. Among...,..,..)otbeoCilUDples,he also cited a ca5e in May in Oregon where a 15-yar-old boy allegedly sprayed his high-school cafeteria witb automatic gunfire, killing two students and injuring 22 otben. "These incidents all occurred in rural or suburban areas," Ewing said ... The message sums clear: This can happen anywhere.• But Ewing pointed o.ut tbat tbe location of violence in a school .. in many cases is Httle more than a coincidence. I say tbat because school viol~nce is r:t;a!Jy part of a much larger problem of juvenile violence, and schools are where juveniles spend most of tbeir waking hours. .. Today, our nation is faced with an epidemic of juvenile violence," Ewing said. .. The rate of violent crime committed by juveniles in tbe United States has quadrupled over tbe last quarter of this century. .. On a percentage basis,.. Ewing said, tbe lilcelihood that a child will be killed in a school today is "minuscule." One federal study estimates that an American child now has less than a one-in-a-miJiion chance of dying a violent death in school, he added. "The much greater problem today is ... the non-lethal violence- in our schools," Ewing said, like assault , robbery and rape . Citing another study, he said, "O ne out of every 200 children will be the victim of a serious or potentiall y serious vioiC'n t crimC' at school during any given school year . That 's a large number." He also said he expects "the youtb violence problem will get mu ch worse before it begins to get bener. .. Some schools have developed zero-tolerance policies for all acts of violence, however serious, and I ad · vocate that as well: Zero tolerance for violence in our schools. Period."' A5 causes of juvenile and school violence, Ewing cited an increast in child abuse and neglect, vio · lence in the enter· tainment media , mental illness in child ren and in · creased substa nce abuse among high school students. Of the man y warning signs of a potentially d an · gerous student , s pe cia l concern should be given to st uden ts who make verbal th reats to kill or harm others, Ewing said . .. That seems to be the biggest rcri flag. For example, in all of the recent school shootings. the juvenile perpetrators have warned others 111 advance of their deadJy o utbursts."

"They're doing research with ve ry specialized equipment and software and nobOdy except those individuals is in a position to do an assessment," he said In addition, servers and local area networks in individual departments are extremely difficult to assess in terms of compliance. The Y2K working gmup will be working to identify an integrated method of conversion.

Description An account of the resource The UB <em>Reporter</em> began publication on January 22, 1970, a time of tumult at the University. It succeeded the newsletter, <em>Colleague</em>, and to this day, serves as the official source for "in house," internal news. The first issue included an editorial, "Why The Reporter?" explaining the rationale for the newspaper: <br /><blockquote> <p>The feeling was that the University lacks a sense of community—that communication is too helter-skelter—that too many groups feel alienated, apart. Somehow, it was felt, if these groups—faculty, student and staff—could come together on the commons and share their concerns and ideas, their activities, their aspirations and whatever else they have to offer, community and communications would result…But it will not produce instant community. Each of us will have to work toward that goal.</p> </blockquote> <br />The Reporter ceased print production in May 2009 when it became an online only publication; in Spring 2016 it became a daily publication.  The Reporter was re-named UB Now in Spring 2016.
