Mov- ing them to this new facility will provide them with the tools and space they need to continue producing high quality work,” said Olin. In keeping with a growing national trend in university architectural designs, the science-engineering complex includes areas that encourage faculty and student interaction. “The building will have a coffee shop as well as numerous benches and couches in strategic locations. One of the innovative building features will be interaction areas. These are rooms with a table, chairs, and whiteboard in which students can engage in study groups. Research has shown that such areas can increase student learning and com- prehension, which is obviously something we want to promote” said Olin. Olin has said that the response across the colleges has been very positive. “The biological sciences faculty espe- cially are very excited about this move. I see this as a way not only to improve our facilities but also to recruit more faculty and students. I think everyone will be impressed by the complex’s usefulness and its struc- tural magnificence,” said Olin.

His underlying objective throughout his research and teaching has been to bring to the world a new interpre- tation of today’s unified Germany. “I think Germans are a misunderstood culture. It’s as if the concept of Germans was frozen after 1945. They are portrayed in a one-dimensional light; either as the militant Germans from old World War II movies or else wearing their native lederhosen and drink- ing beer. These images keep being recycled in many people’s minds. But Germans have become quite pacifist; for example, they have troops in Afghanistan but they are more inter- ested in city building and infrastructure than in combat,” said Fox. According to Fox, political and national identity, particularly for German Jews, has been an illusive concept. In his highly acclaimed book Stated Memory: The Holocaust and East Germany, Fox investigated the perception of the Holocaust in post–World War II Communist Germany. “I found that a good many high-profile East German Commu- nists were Jews.

Last year, theatre faculty and students took center stage twice in the Big Apple with Seth Panitch’s play and UA’s New York Showcase Bama on Broadway. Seth Panitch, assistant professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance, wrote six ver- sions of his play Dammit Shakespeare! before he got it right. His creative craftsmanship paid off when his play was produced in Los Angeles to rave reviews and suggestions that he take it to New York. In August 2006 Panitch took not only his play but also University of Alabama theatre students to perform the play in New York. The production, financed with funds awarded by UA’s research advisory committee, took place at the well-known Urban Stages Theatre. “The chance for undergraduate students to perform in New York City is very rare. They only had a week to set up and perform the play, and they did an outstanding job. It was a totally new experience for them and their excitement and energy level carried across to the New York audience, which is an extremely difficult audience to please,” said Panitch. Panitch teaches acting and movement at UA, directs mainstage productions, and is in charge of the master of fine arts program in acting pedagogy.

This is the sixth production and each time it’s done, I’ve rewritten it from a new vantage point, as both my development as an artist and my comprehension of the art have changed,” Panitch said.

Bishop’s Painting Selected for National Portrait Gallery of Smithsonian

Brian Bishop’s portrait Untitled (Missing Lawrence) was includ- ed this year in an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Bishop, assistant professor in the Department of Art, was chosen as a finalist in the first U.S. national portrait competition, the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. A panel of seven internationally renowned jurors chose 51 paintings and sculptures from more than 4,000 entries for inclusion in the exhibition. The National Portrait Gallery competition will be held triennially. The exhibition marks the grand opening of the Donald W.

Anthony Clark, assistant professor in the Department of History, had access to the Vatican Secret Archives and the pope’s private library in Vatican City last summer to research 14th- through 20th-century letters between European and Chinese mon- archs. “This is an extremely rare opportunity,” said Clark, who specializes in Chinese history. “The ability to access and analyze this information will improve historical understanding.” The research is for Clark’s upcoming book Martyrs of the Middle Kingdom: The Catholic Saints of China, a historical study of the recently canonized missionaries and Chinese converts who were tortured and killed during China’s Boxer Uprising at the turn of the 20th century. Chinese troops slaughtered foreigners and then destroyed or suppressed records of the event. However, a few surviving priests smuggled some Anthony Clark and the secret ar- records away, which now are believed to be in the Vatican Secret Archives. chives at the Vatican. “This research will result in the first-time publishing of many accounts and photo- graphs of the Christian massacres in northern China,” Clark added.

New Criminal Justice Advisory Board Focuses on Student Careers nelda sanker

On April 26, 2007, graduates of the Department of Criminal Justice who are employed in the field of criminal justice gathered in Farrah Hall for the inaugural meeting of the Criminal Justice Alumni Advi- sory Board. The board’s focus is on mentoring the more than 80 students who graduate each year from the Department of Criminal Justice and who will be the next generation of criminal justice professionals. Board members will provide advice, career counseling, and references for criminal justice graduates and offer social networking and fellowship for alumni. “Many people think that all one can do with a criminal justice degree is become a cop. And that is a great profession, but there are many other career possibilities, from activities involving the gaming industry to postal inspecting to investigative opportunities. There is a lot out there for these students. Our alumni can provide a solid foundation of knowledge for them based on our experiences in the field,” said founding president Chad Allen (2004; M.S., 2006), who is an officer with the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. Anita Anderson (2005) is founding vice president; Leigh Ann Shelton (2005) is founding secretary/treasurer. Other members present at the first meeting were department chair and adviser Celia Lo; Col- lege Associate Dean Jimmy Williams, faculty member; and Tom Allen (2007), Amy Christman (2007), Ashley Cornelius-Hester (2005; M.S., 2006), Al Dauser (1992), Nick Johnson (2005; M.S., 2007), Rachel Recently formed Department of Criminal Justice Advisory Board officers Lisenba (2006), Joseph Martin (2006), Matthew Price (2007), Devonna (left to right): President Chad Allen, Vice President Anita Anderson, and Snuggs (1993; M.S., 1995), and Cedric White Jr. (2007).

Gage Bush Englund Donates Dance Book Collection

An autographed book by renowned dancer and choreographer Ted Shawn and a music score by famed composer George Crum are among the valuable books donated to the College by Gage Bush Englund. The collection of more than 1,000 volumes will be avail- able in UA’s Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library. Englund, a Birmingham native and longtime resident of Point Clear, Alabama, and New York City, donated her library of dance books in honor of professor emeritus Edie Barnes in the Depart- ment of Theatre and Dance. The books were collected by Englund and her late husband, Richard Bernard Englund, during their more than 30 years as dance professionals in New York City. Together they founded what is now called the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) Studio Company of New York. Englund, ballet mistress of the American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company, is an honorary member of the dance company’s board of trustees. “Within these volumes will be found a very comprehensive array of books on the philosophy of dance and modern dance tech- niques. There is a good deal of material on the Royal Ballet, the Paris opera, and the Danish technique, and the collection gives a pretty good overview of the history of dance development in Amer- ica and Europe,” said Englund. “Many of these books were hard to part with, but I knew I needed to share the wealth of knowledge Gage Bush Englund (seated at center) is surrounded by students of the American Ballet Theatre with others. I hope they bring a great deal of pleasure, insight and Summer Intensive at The University of Alabama. Each summer some 200 of the nation’s most tal- discovery to all who read them.” ented young dancers come to the Intensive for a three-week dance residency. Englund is a faculty member in the Intensive, which is directed by Associate Professor Richard Richards (back row). 32
