May not be used or reproduced without permission. Reflections on M. Paul Friedberg from Howard Abel April 2009 I worked with Paul from 1961-1964 with a 6 month Army Reserve tour in the middle. When I began there were four of us in the office. The office was in an apartment on 86th Street and Madison Avenue with Paul working out of the kitchen and Walter Diakow, his partner, and Phil Loman and myself in the converted living room. Paul used the back bedroom as his living quarters. I had been out of school for about six months and had worked for a traditional landscape architectural firm before joining Paul's office. The pace and excitement were electrifying. We worked on lots of small projects, mainly housing with Paul wanting to try ten new ideas for each project. He usually got at least one but at the end of the tenth project he'd have his ten and just kept on going. His vision on how urban space should be used and defined was quite different from the then thinking current attitude. His work seemed to be intuitive and emotional usually thinking how people would fit into the landscape. Proportion, scale and use of material took on a completely different meaning. I always marveled that he was willing to try to do anything.

  • Riding the Centaur Metaphor from Past to Present: Myth, Constellation and Non-Gendered Hybrid
    IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 8 – Issue 1 – Winter 2019 Riding the Centaur Metaphor from Past to Present: Myth, Constellation and Non-gendered Hybrid Jeri Kroll Flinders University, Australia 31 IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 8 – Issue 1 – Winter 2019 Abstract Tracking the ancient centaur as myth and metaphor through cultural history to the twenty-first century reveals how humans have begun to reconceive animal-human relations. Its origins are open to question, but at least date from pre-classical and early Greek history, when nomadic tribes with superior horsemanship skills appeared. Associated with the astronomical constellation Centaurus, the centaur metaphor was initially gendered. The hybrid embodied human and equine qualities, both negative and positive (for example, the bestial classical centaur and the supra-human Spanish conquistador). After examining the history of the centaur metaphor as well as relationships between horses and humans in the pre-twentieth century Western literary tradition, this research focuses on five texts: Monty Roberts’ The Man Who Listens to Horses (2009); Tom McGuane’s Some Horses (2013); John Steinbeck’s The Red Pony (1945); Jane Smiley’s Horse Heaven (2000); and Gillian Mears’ Foal’s Bread (2011). It argues that contemporary nonfiction and fiction demonstrate a change in the way in which the metaphor has been used, reflecting a will to reshape relationships between species, grounded in empathy as well as respect for alternative communication strategies. The centaur metaphor as non-gendered hybrid appears when riders feel one with their horses through harmonious partnerships inherent in teamwork. They feel as if they have become the centaur, literalizing the metaphor within themselves.

The academic year will be coming to a close soon, with fewer than two months until graduation (May 22). There is much to accomplish by both students and faculty as we near completion of Ron Dougherty, Professor and Chair the school year and watch another group of seniors [and graduate students] reach engineering maturity and head out into the world. The seniors are working hard on their projects, whether it’s the Formula Vehicle, the explosion containment system for bomb-laden luggage carried on board a commercial airliner, the ergonomic improvement of an assembly-line-type of work station, or the system to test for damage caused by full-sized forklifts colliding with plastic pallets for large/heavy merchandise transport. Graduate students are completing their research with biomechanical knee simulators, intelligently designed/controlled robots, fundamental finite element code development, and space thermal systems. These soon-to-be-graduates are preparing to leave and tackle new challenges. Or, whether it’s one of our student athletes such as Lindsey Morris from the volleyball team, Chris Veit who is one the students who “sports” the Jayhawk mascot outfit at various sporting/KU events, Kelly Warrick who plays trombone for the pep band, Kelley Briant who will be enrolling in law school, James Winblad who’s going to medical school, or a number of other students who will be taking positions with Ford, Black & Veatch, Boeing, Whirlpool, the armed services, business schools, educational institutions, or graduate schools - - we will surely miss them.
