KU Collegian Changing Face of Campus by Courtney Grams

s of press time, construction of the Docking Family Gateway and fountain was underway A thanks to the generosity of KU alumni Jill Docking, a former CLA&S Advisory Board member, and her husband, former Kansas Lt. Governor Tom Docking. The Dockings pledged $500,000 for the beautification project located at the campus entrance near 13th Street and Oread Avenue. The gateway, made primarily of stone and brick, will form an oval-shaped structure about 16 feet wide and will feature vertical jets of water in a round plaza with landscaping and stone signage.

$3.5 million expansion to Wescoe Hall is currently taking place with a scheduled completion A date in March. The addition will enclose the south terrace and provide 24,000 square feet of additional office space and meeting rooms. It also will include rows of windows in the new offices. The departments of History and Spanish and Portuguese will be housed in the new offices, more than doubling the number of offices they have now.

1 xA Conversation Preparing students for the With Dean world in which we live Joseph E. Steinmetz

fter 19 years at Indiana University, Joseph E. Steinmetz took over as dean of KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences on July 1. Steinmetz, a formerA executive associate dean and chair- man of the Department of Psychology, makes time for his research lab to study how the brain encodes learning and memory. In a conversation with KU Collegian magazine, Dean Steinmetz shared his thoughts on preparing students for the workforce, his vision for moving the College forward and life in the Heartland.

You are credited with turning Indiana’s psychology department into one of the top departments in the nation. What lessons from that endeavor did you bring with you to Kansas? In 1987, I decided to join the faculty of the psychology department at Indiana University because it had a long- standing reputation as a very strong department. In many ways it was somewhat easy to build on those traditional strengths when I became department chair in 1995. It all starts with recruiting outstanding faculty who complement faculty already in place. Outstanding faculty also attract outstanding graduate students. Here at KU, I hope to facilitate that same process in all of the College’s departments and programs. I see my major roles as dean as providing the nec-

essary resources for faculty, students and staff in the College s s a W

to succeed and to provide a vision or blueprint that moves i t s i r K

3 INSIDE THE COLLEGE KU Professor Working to Thwart Spread of Bird Flu by Cammy Challender

It is most likely that bird flu in the United States would initially be spread by migratory birds. Peterson has con- structed a prototype that would allow accurate predictions about where the virus will spread next based on where it is detected. “If you tell me where avian flu is in which season then we should be able to take bird migration information and predict where it’s going next,” Peterson said. Peterson’s model would allow the U.S. government to prioritize areas in the United States for flu readiness, thus utilizing money and resources more efficiently. Peterson has already briefed several U.S. Senators’ offices and several fed- eral agencies about the project. He and five KU students/postdoctoral Research in action: Postdoctoral scholar Sarah Elizabeth Bush is part of a KU research team led scholars are currently working to by Professor A.Townsend Peterson that is working on forecasting the spread of bird flu. expand the prototype to a full operat- ing system that covers all 400 migratory bird species. s world leaders and health officials prepare for a “Hopefully we’ll have a full system ready for use before possible bird flu pandemic, the research of a KU the flu is detected in North America,” Peterson said.

4 INSIDE THE COLLEGE Motorized Pacifier Gives New Meaning to Power Lunch by Cammy Challender

very year, almost half a million babies are born prematurely in the United States. These infants often have difficulties learning to eat, which can Emean extensive hospital stays, invasive feeding tubes, and a variety of health and developmental problems. But the NTrainer, a “motorized pacifier,” developed at KU and tested in area NICUs, is helping infants transition to oral feeding sooner, sleep better, gain weight faster and have shorter stays in the NICU. Dr. Steven Barlow, KU professor of speech-language- hearing, and Dr. Don Finan, University of Colorado, developed the NTrainer, a non-invasive, therapeutic device that consists of a pacifier attached to computer-controlled sensors and motors. Through pat- terned stimulations of the lips, tongue and jaw, the NTrainer gives the babies’ brains pleasurable sensa- tions that teach the infants how to properly suck. Nearly a dozen KU graduate students are testing the NTrainer five days a week at two NICUs in Kansas. Students report that the infants respond pos- itively to the training and their feeding ability improves quickly. “After receiving the NTrainer stimulus either before or during each feeding (depending on whether they are being tube fed or bottle fed), the infants learn how to organize their suck and are able to feed from a bottle,” said Meredith Poore, speech-language- hearing PhD student. Dr. Barlow’s research is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health and has been presented at various national and international aca- Early start: Emily Zimmerman, speech pathology demic conferences, in journal articles and featured in the media.

Not only has Mills made significant contributions to the entertainment industry, his philanthropic efforts have touched Kansans. In January 2005, Mills and his wife, Barbara Nash Mills, pledged $100,000 to the University, to be divided between the debate, film and education programs at KU. Mills said his television and film career didn’t begin until after he left the state to study film at Ohio State University, where he earned a master’s degree in film in 1952. Few universities offered film programs at the time, he said. “I’m happy that KU now has a film program,” said Mills, who sometimes guest lectures in the KU Department of Theatre and Film. “Barbara and I want to support those students and their projects.” Over the years, the small-town boy who made it big in Hollywood has served as a motivation for other aspiring filmmakers at KU and across the state. Mills’ impressive resume includes working with Anthony Hopkins, Henry Fonda, James Garner and Alec Guinness, and winning multiple Peabody and Emmy awards.

U’s College of Liberal KArts and Sciences offers timeless knowledge. But just as our students and graduates must adapt in an ever-changing world, the College, too, is always evolving.

his year we welcomed TJoseph E. Steinmetz on board as the 12th College dean in our history. As he maps out plans for the future, it seems a fitting time to indulge in a walk down memory lane. We chose four points in our history when the College faced new leadership to showcase the changing face of campus and student life.

he College is proud to Thave touched the lives of every student and graduate on the Hill in our over 100-year tradition. No matter how much times change, one thing remains the same: It’s always a great time to be a Jayhawk in the College!

s we close another successful year of fundraising for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we reflect on the many wonderful gifts from our alumni and friends to support the College’s mission this past year. I am happy to announce that we received more Athan $4.7 million in gifts, pledges, and deferred commitments. We are very grateful to each of you who invested in your alma mater by establishing an endowed scholarship, fellowship, professorship or opportunity fund to support generations of students and faculty. In addition, we appreciate those of you who continue to provide annual unrestricted gifts to the College, particularly through the Deans Club (minimum $1,000 gift). We are excited to welcome our new dean, Dr. Joseph Steinmetz, as we begin the new fiscal year. As we travel around the country in the coming months, we look forward to sharing his vision for enhancing the progressive liberal arts education students receive in the College as well as funding opportunities to make it all happen. Until then…. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!
