University of Michigan • Spring 2003 in This Issue UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN • SPRING 2003 IN THIS ISSUE Energy, progress, positive change. In all of its definitions, the word movement describes the dynamic state of kinesiology today. Movement encompasses the scientific study of human motion, the importance of activity on growth and development, the role of sport in society, the exploration of new directions, and emerging trends. brings you research findings and thoughtful insights on developments in kinesiology, as well as continuing updates on faculty, students, and your fellow alumni.

By the time this magazine reaches you it will be spring. This is the time of year when many of us recall the New Year’s resolutions we made and then promptly ignored, such as to lose weight and exercise more. The thought of wearing shorts and bathing suits is enough to resurrect them. And so, it seems fitting that we focus in this issue on two areas in which our faculty and students in Kinesiology work that are dedicated to building the skills and behavior patterns that support the maintenance of an active lifestyle and the business that surrounds the marketing and management of sport and physical activity. It is sad, but true, that as a state, Michigan continues to rank among those with the highest rates of obesity in the nation. Adults, at least, seem to recognize the core function of physical activity in controlling body weight and managing associated problems, like diabetes, heart problems, fatigue, and so on. But too many people simply fail to act on this knowledge. In Kinesiology, our Physical Education faculty focuses on ways to improve people’s willingness and ability to act on this information. They prepare future teachers to help schoolchildren develop exercise and sport skills, build self confidence, and acquire habits—behavior patterns that persist—even when a teacher or coach isn’t prompting them to keep moving. In this edition of Movement you will read about James Walton, a graduate of our Physical Education program, who has devoted his career to helping children in the Lake Forest Schools develop these skills. In his role as director of physical education and principal he has been able to excite an entire school district with a new approach to building fitness skills and motivation. (Check out the arti- cle on page 2.) An interesting paradox is that while as a nation we grow fatter every year, we also spend more money annu- ally on the sport industry. The impact on our economy of the businesses that surround sport continues to grow and encompasses a wide variety of elements, from advertising via sports, to sport franchises, sales of sporting equipment and club memberships. This growing industry creates a wealth of jobs for students graduating from our Sport Management program who want to enter this aspect of the business world. Like sport itself, it’s a com- petitive market. The entry-level opportunities are broad and, for those who are truly dedicated to working their way up in the field, the chances for promotion to jobs with significant responsibilities and commensurate salaries are also high. On page 4, you’ll read more about this fascinating field and hear comments from some of our alumni about their experiences as members of this growing industry. In conclusion, I wish you a happy, healthy, active spring. Use what you learned in the PE classroom or invest in a sport skill or fitness lessons to enhance your own well-being, join with us in our efforts to reverse the trend of our overweight society, and support our Sport Management majors who are working in the industry! I hope you enjoy Movement. Best wishes, Beverly D. Ulrich Professor and Dean Spring 2003 1 KINESIOLOGY ALUMNUS PIONEERS WELLNESS PROGRAM Obesity among children has doubled in the last decade, according to the Center for Disease Control. Diabetes and high blood pressure are also on the rise. Dr. Vincent Bufalino, in a study of several children in the Chicago area, found that 40% of them had high cholesterol readings, which was attributed to frequent fast food meals and lack of exercise.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Architecture FROM SYMBIOSIS TO INTEGRITY IMPROVING THE CONNECTIVITY OF BEAVER STADIUM TO THE UNIVERSITY PARK CAMPUS OF PENN STATE UNIVERSITY A Thesis in Architecture by Alireza Arabshahi © 2014 Alireza Arabshahi Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture December 2014 ii The thesis of Alireza Arabshahi was reviewed and approved * by the following: Daniel Willis Professor of Architecture Thesis Advisor Scott Wing Associate Professor of Architecture Katsuhiko Muramoto Associate Professor of Architecture Ute Poerschke Professor of Architecture Architecture Graduate Program Chair * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract In 1959 the initial structure of the Beaver Stadium was disassembled and re-erected in its current location. Thanks to the abundance of open space adjacent to the stadium, the subsequent athletic structures were constructed on East Campus. However, Rec Hall that is one of the main athletic structures of the campus is still located on West Campus. The distance between the two structures, as well as the typology of spaces between them – to say, academic and residential buildings close to the Rec Hall and vast open parking spaces surrounding Beaver Stadium – further intensify the detachment of Rec Hall from the athletic department’s zone. My thesis is a design proposal for improving the connectivity of the stadium to the campus context. A set of architectural strategies are identified and their validity is explored via the analysis of the design approaches taken for addressing similar issue in five collegiate on-campus stadiums. iv Table of Contents List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………….……ix List of Tables……………………………………………………………………………………..xiii Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………………..xiv Chapter 1………………………………………………………………………………….……….1 1.1.
