Kaleidoscope University of Kentucky Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship Volume 5 • 2006 Kaleidoscope The University of Kentucky Journal of Undergradu- ate Scholarship is a refereed journal published annually by the eUreKa! office of the University of Kentucky. The journal is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through the publica- tion of the results of the intellectual pursuits of undergraduate students. The journal accepts reports of all forms of creativity and scholarship by undergraduate students including, but not necessarily limited to, artistic and musical cre- ations, creative writing and poetry, and reports of studies and research in the humanities, the social, natural, and medical sciences, agriculture, busi- ness, architecture, and engineering. The journal is published in traditional print format and as a Web site. The Web site may include creative materials, such as performances and art work, that cannot be reproduced on paper. <www.uky.edu/kaleidoscope> Editorial Board Phillipp J.

I could not agree more. This fifth volume ofKaleidoscope is clear evidence that we are well on our way to that status. The superb mate- rial submitted by our students gives me great pleasure as well as confidence that they are second to none in the quality of their scholarship. The range of subjects is impressive and reflects the breadth of our un- dergraduate offerings. We have classic liberal arts subjects, such as English, Psychology, and the natural sciences represented. In addition, we have fine arts, health sciences, and architecture, among others. The depth of scholar- ship demonstrated by the authors is astonishing and gratifying. The authors have my considerable respect. Another highlight of this issue is the extensive coverage of the work of students who are associated with several of the programs of the Chellgren Center for Undergraduate Excellence. The Chellgran Center brings together many of the outstanding undergraduate programs at the University, including Lee T. Todd, Jr., the Discovery Seminar Program, the Honors Program, eUreKa!, the Living- President Learning Communities, education abroad, the office of external scholarships, and the intercollegiate debate program. This union results in vastly increased synergy among the programs and enhanced support for undergraduates in all disciplines. The students from the Discovery Seminar Program, education abroad, and eUreKa! who have contributed to this issue are representative of the hundreds of students whose undergraduate experiences are enriched each semester by these and the other Chellgren-associated programs. Again this year, I want to congratulate and thank the professors who have mentored our student authors. It is clear that our professors’ care and support of their students is sincere and of the highest professional caliber. Their dedication is evident in the work of their protégés. Please join me in congratulating the many young women and men whose outstanding works are published in this issue of Kaleidoscope. These students are but a few of the thousands of highly creative and productive undergraduate scholars who are active at UK. Together they are making contributions to the enhancement of knowledge and are being recognized and honored nationally and internationally through their presentations, performances, publications, and productions. Once more it is clear that UK undergraduates are the equal of those at any other university. 2 K A L E I D O S C O P E F A L L 2 0 0 6 F R O M T H E E D I T O R ‘ S V I E W P O I N T t doesn’t seem possible, but this is the fifth volume ofKaleidoscope . I have been looking back over the previous issues and renewing my acquaintance with some I of the superb articles that were published in volumes one through four. I was won- dering how could this year’s student authors live up to those extremely high standards? But, once again, there is no doubt they have matched and exceeded the fine quality of their predecessors. This issue contains wonderfully interesting articles on art, both classical (sixteenth century) and contemporary (computer-generated images by two undergraduates), health sciences, drug delivery systems and nutrition, the early (sixteenth century) theater, psy- chology, architecture, and the biological sciences. It also contains numerous reports of the scholarly endeavors of many recipients of summer research and creativity awards and undergraduate travel grants. I have the great privilege of reading these articles and other submissions as they are received, learning from them, and appreciating the intellectual effort that goes into their creation. It is also my privilege to work with the authors and share their enthusiasm for their scholarship. Our UK students are the equal of any I have had the opportunity to know in more than forty years of teaching. I am proud to be able to work with them. This year’s section devoted to the Chellgren Center for Undergraduate Excellence and its related programs is considerably expanded from last year. I especially appreciate the contributions of the two students who served as undergraduate instructional assis- tants (UIAs) in the Discovery Seminar Program. They bring yet another dimension to Robert S. Tannenbaum, our consideration of undergraduate scholarship. They were, themselves, teachers and Editor mentors for the students who are following them. What higher honor and calling could there be than to pass on their knowledge and experience to younger students? In addi- tion, the images of our students who traveled to festivals and conferences abroad should serve as models for others to emulate. The undergraduate travel funds administered by the eUreKa! office are available for students who are presenting at or otherwise actively participating in a professional conference. eUreKa! includes a number of other programs designed to support undergraduate scholarly activities by undergraduates, including UKURP, the Beckman Scholars program, AMSTEMM, the Oswald Research and Creativ- ity Awards, the

    Regional Oral History Off ice University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Richard B. Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

Courtillot a,∗,PaulR.Renneb,c a Institut de physique du Globe de Paris, 4, place Jussieu, 75252 Paris cedex 05, France b Berkeley Geochronology Center, Berkeley, CA, USA c Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA Received 18 July 2002; accepted 22 October 2002 Written on invitation of the Editorial Board Abstract We review available data constraining the extent, volume, age and duration of all major Phanerozoic continental flood basalts (CFB or traps) and oceanic plateaus (OP), together forming the group of large igneous provinces (LIP), going from the smallest Columbia flood basalts at ∼16 Ma to the as yet ill-known remnants of a possible trap at ∼360 Ma in eastern Siberia. The 16 traps (CFB and OP) reviewed form a rather unimodal distribution with an initial modal volume of the order of 2.5 Mkm3.Most provinces agree with a rather simple first order model in which volcanism may have lasted of the order of 10 Ma, often resulting in continental break-up, but where most of the volume was erupted in about 1 Ma or sometimes less. This makes CFBs/OPs (LIPs) major geodynamic events, with fluxes exceeding the total output of present day hot spots and even possibly exceeding over short times the entire crustal production of mid-ocean ridges. The proposed correlation between trap ages and the ages of several geological events, including mass extinctions and oceanic anoxia, is found to have improved steadily as more data have become available, to the point that the list of trap ages may coincide with many major divisions in the geological time scale.

  • Biography of a Renai~Sance "Tv1asterpiece
    ATHE ITE u1 Library The Boston Letter from u1thenteum No. 92 JUNE 1990 WINBURNE'S "hounds of spring" seem to be in deep slumber as we go to press, allowing the dregs of winter to persist in cold and rainy fashion, at least here in mid-May Boston. Even the brave blossoms on the two young dogwood trees that flank the bronze entry doors seem to be struggling against hope­ less odds. But on the fifth floor terrace the snappy green and white awning is up, and the tables and chairs await occupants who will soon find this delightful area of the building a perfect spot for lunch or a quiet, sunny read. Mr. MacDonald has the roses already set out, and reports that we may also expect to see (and smell) a variety of intoxicating blooms including chocolate morning glories, candytuft cream flash, climbing nasturtiun1s, moonfiowers, larkspur, and scabiosa (which he assures us is not a disease). With this floral extravaganza a\vaiting us, it seems appropriate to let sleeping "hounds" lie, and move further along in "Atalanta in Calydon" to the point at which Swinburne confidently assures us that ... winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the season of sno\\ s and sins; The days dividing lover and lover, The light that loses, the night that '\Vins; And time remembered is grief forgotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins. Exhibitions in the Gallery The current exhibition in the Gallery, "Gifts and Acquisitions, 1980-1990," will run throughout the summer and close on August 31.

  • IN MEMORY of DAYS and NIGHTS by Patrick Barney APPROVED
    In memory of days and nights Item Type Thesis Authors Barney, Patrick Download date 09/10/2021 18:25:00 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/11351 IN MEMORY OF DAYS AND NIGHTS By Patrick Barney APPROVED: IN MEMORY OF DAYS AND NIGHTS A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF FINE ARTS By Patrick Barney, B.A. iii Abstract In Memory of Days and Nights is a collection of meditative and lyric essays that are interconnected by their attention to relationships of dominance and subordination mediated by economic systems and language, personal complicity in such relationships, possible forms of revolt, and attempts to make meaning within these systems. The essays in this collection deal with these issues in several forms. The shorter form essays, utilizing a lyric voice concerned with imagery and rhythm as opposed to narrative, range from half a page to five pages long. These either examine personal experience in an effort to reflect upon death and meaninglessness or depict myth and historical occurrence to meditate upon the human desire for order. The longer essays in this collection range from traditional narrative-driven pieces, to collage and mosaic pieces—unfolding in the accumulated depictions of instances of time—to universal meditations burgeoning from individual experience. These navigate the intersections between the microcosm of the author’s life and the macrocosm of human life, often by applying the thought-systems of various philosophers and writers to personal experience.
