The mind-bending adjustment to a new way of thinking. The oh-no-the-professor-called-on-me feeling. The late nights studying, and the blur of finals melding into summer job applications running into legal writing require­ ments and oral arguments. Details hazy at this point? For you, we offer a refresher course. Alumni Fill Halls of Academe 24 BY JENNIFER BALDINO BONETT Like academic Johnny Appleseeds, legions of alumni have gone forth from Penn Law to plant ideas and teach students all across the countrv. And their numbers arc growing, as the Law School offers a new seminar to prep the next round of intellectual whiz kids.

They reminisce about friends and fondly remember long-time administrators who put a friendly face on a trying experience. But overall, they recall favorite professors who challenged and inspired them and took an interest in their success, in school and after. Good teaching leaves an imprint. Course materials may fade from memory but not the people who taught the courses. They remain indelible. As Dean, I can never say enough about the quality of our faculty, past and present. It is one MICHAEL A. FITTS Dean and Bernard G. Segal of my favorite topics. Penn Law has been fortunate through the years to have an extraordinary Professor of Law faculty. When you think about the people who called this Law School home, it's simply amazing. A. Leo Levin, Louis B. Schwartz, John Honnold and Robert Gorman, to name just a few, are legitimate legends and Hall of Fame professors. And I must say that today's faculty are excep­ tional in their own right, and getting better all the time. Now, if you think that a school devoted to recruiting and retaining the best possible faculty would put a premium on developing first-rate academics, you would be right. Scores of alumni, in effect, launched their academic careers at Penn Law, where a new seminar molds future aca­ demics. This issue contains a look at that program, as well as several profiles of alumni who chose to teach and contribute to our country's intellectual stock. Equally extraordinary is this year's class. The 260 members of the Class of 2006 are a diverse and talented group, clearly as accomplished as we have ever seen. At this point they are near­ ing the end of their first year, having battled through the thickets of law like participants on Survivor. Being a lL is not easy. It is, in fact, a signature experience; along with your favorite professor, you never forget it. We try to rekindle those memories in our cover story, which documents the trials and travails of the first months of law school through the bleary eyes of one student. For older graduates, forget the part about the laptops. Otherwise I trust the piece will spur a ring of recognition. As a last word, I want to mention the new look of the Penn Law Journal. We think the rede­ sign makes it easier and more enjoyable to read. Let us know what you think. And please stop by anytime to see us. We promise not to call on you. https://scholarship.law.upenn.edu/plj/vol39/iss1/1 4 PENN LAW JOURNAL SPfi'!\G 200t, 3 et al.: A 1L Odyssey THE BRIEF LAW SCHOOL NEWS & EVENTS Former War Crime tionallegislation and the jurisprudence of international courts.

Florida State University researchers, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, are evaluating whether off-the-shelf at-plate solar collectors can maintain stable recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) temperatures and if it is cost-effective to do so. Well-designed recirculation systems could be ideal for maintaining elevated production temperatures, due to far less heat loss than ow-through or outdoor systems. Energy costs After feed, energy is the second-largest variable cost of recirculation production. The application of a blend of conventional and alternate energy technologies to reduce this cost should directly result in increased prots. Dr. Ron Malone of Louisiana State University in Louisiana, USA, has touted air-lift pumping over conventional pumping for years as a way to reduce energy costs. If solar water heating can effectively compete with resistive heating in thermal performance, then the question becomes one of higher capital costs in solar systems versus higher operating costs in conventional systems. Florida State University (FSU) determined to rst compare conventional resistive heating with at-panel solar heat collectors and insulated reservoirs for maintaining optimal production temperatures (OPT).

  • Undergraduate Research in Pollution Prevention and Sustainability
    Session Undergraduate Research in Pollution Prevention and Sustainability Kauser Jahan*, Mariano Savelski, Joseph Orlins, Yusuf Mehta, William Riddell, Stephanie Farrell, Gina Tang, Anthony Marchese, Paris von Lockette, Courtney Richmond, Catherine Yang, Beena Sukumaran, Patricia Mosto and Demond Miller *Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Rowan University Glassboro, NJ 08028, USA Abstract Rowan University has been hosting an NSF REU Site which focuses on Pollution Prevention and Sustainability since 2004. The site has been established for three consecutive summers. The initiative is based on current global initiatives to integrate sustainability into the science and engineering curriculum. Students need to be exposed to enriching experiences that require them to have concerns for human conditions and the environment that are conservative and protective. The REU site allows eleven undergraduates to participate in pollution prevention and sustainability research activities at Rowan University for eight weeks during the summer. Engineering and science faculty participate in mentoring activities along with Rowan undergraduate and graduate students. Social building skills such as community outreach seminars, workshops, social picnics, field trips and communication strengthening exercises are also an integral part of this REU experience. Environmental ethics, diversity and community impact of engineering activities are the topics of mini workshops. All these topics have tremendous relevance to pollution prevention and sustainability but can be absent from a traditional engineering curriculum. It is anticipated that the undergraduate research experience promotes interest in pursuing graduate school and strengthens leadership skills and self esteem. Introduction Many engineering programs worldwide are integrating pollution prevention, green engineering and sustainability modules in their traditional curriculum.

  • Seasonal Variation of Male-Type Antennular Setation in Female Calanus Finmarchicus
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 301: 217–229, 2005 Published October 11 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Seasonal variation of male-type antennular setation in female Calanus finmarchicus Charles B. Miller1,*, Jennifer A. Crain1, Nancy H. Marcus2 1College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-5503, USA 2Department of Oceanography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306, USA ABSTRACT: Female calanoid copepods of the family Calanidae can mature with either the juvenile and most typical female pattern of setation, termed trithek (T), or with the male pattern, termed quadrithek (Q). It was suggested by Fleminger (1985), but not proved, that females with the Q pat- tern have switched from development as males to development as females after initiation of seta formation prior to the maturation molt. Such switching, if it occurs, has population dynamical con- sequences. Therefore, we determined the fractions of Q females in the population of Calanus fin- marchicus from Georges Bank and nearby deeper water during each month of the animals’ growing season, January through July of 1995. Based on >780 individuals examined from each month, the fraction of Q individuals was ~20% in January, decreased to 8.5% in April, rose to 12.5% in June and was 9% in July. This suggests that the individuals of the several seasonal generations select repro- duction as females (or conversely as males) at different rates. Smaller samples from January, April and June of 1996 showed the same pattern. A similar study in a northern Norwegian fjord with 1 annual generation (Svensen & Tande 1999) showed 38% Q females in February, early in maturation, and 25% Q in March.
