University's Four Outstanding Researchers Honored
Four University of Toledo faculty members were honored as outstanding researchers at a dinner on Thursday, May 15, in the UT Student Union Ingman Room. The award recipients were Dr. Alfred A. Cave, professor of history; Dr. William S. Messer, professor of medicinal and biological chemistry; Dr. Margaret J. Wheelock, professor of biology; and Dr. William Williamson Jr., professor of physics and astronomy. Cave (Goddard Road, Toledo) has made a substantial contribution to colonial North American history. During his career he has published four scholarly books and 34 articles, and has given numerous papers at professional meetings. Among his articles are several that greatly influenced the view of interactions between colonists and Native Americans in 17th century North America. He has written on Native American and English witchcraft, and on the European view of the New World. His recent book, The Pequot War, part of the University of Massachusetts Press series titled "Native Americans of the Northeast," has already been hailed as the definitive work on New England's first armed conflict between English colonists and Native Americans. Cave, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, has held a summer fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities. He received an honorary doctorate of letters from Salford University in England in 1990. Cave received his bachelor of arts degree from Linfield College and his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Florida. He taught at the University of Florida and the City College of New York, and served as dean of humanities at the University of Utah. He joined the UT faculty in 1973 as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1990, after 25 years in administration, he returned to full-time teaching and research. Messer's (Algonquin Parkway, Toledo) research is focused on the development of new drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. His work has ranged from neuronal mechanisms of learning and memory function to how drugs interact with receptor proteins at the molecular level, and has included biochemical assays of brain tissue and neurons in cell culture, molecular (over) 2-2-2 modeling studies using computer graphics, and behavioral measures of memory function. Messer was one of the tÿst to identify and define a role for M1 muscarinic receptors in memory function. This finding served as the basis for developing new agents to selectively activate this type of receptor in the brain. A resulting compound is currently in clinical trials for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Messer has presented the results of his work in more than 30 publications and more than 60 papers and oral presentations at regional, national and international meetings. Messer received a five-year Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. With grants from the National Institute of Drug Abuse, the Ohio Department of Aging, and the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, among others, he has recei.ved combined external support in excess of $2 million. A UT faculty member since 1985. Messer received his bachelor of science degree from Springfield College and his doctoral degree in neuroscience from the University of Rochester. Wheelock's (Goddard Road, Toledo) research has focused on a family of cell surface glycoproteins called cadherins. Cadherins play vital roles in the development of animal tissue and have been shown to play a significant role in the biology of cancer. The long-term goal of Wheelock's research is to explain more completely the role that cadherins play in both normal body processes and in the development of cancer. Her current focus on the role played by the cadherin/catenin complex in tumorigenesis offers considerable promise for the identification of causative factors in the development of breast cancer. This fall she will be on leave from the classroom, having received a four-year Career Development Award of $235,000 from the U.S. Army to participate full time in the Army's Breast Cancer Research Program. Wheelock has published 56 articles in professional journals. Her research has been steadily supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, totaling $1.5 million. Her contributions to research and the academic community have also been recognized with the Sigma Xi Award for Outstanding Research in 1994. In 1995 she was named a UT Outstanding University Woman. Wheelockjoined the UT faculty in 1987 after serving as a postdoctoral fellow and research associate at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia for five years. She received her bachelor of science degree and her doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota. William.son (indian Road, Toledo) received this year's Sigma Xi/Dion D. Raftopoulos Award for Outstanding Research. Since joining UT's faculty in 1965, he has published more than 50 scientific papers in major journals and has received outside funding from such agencies as NASA, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy and Sandia National Laboratories.
(more) 3-3-3 His work as a theoretical physicist spans several areas in physics that have traditionally been distinct. As a new faculty member at UT, he helped launch its graduate program in astrophysics and was a visiting scientist at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. From his early studies in particle physics, he moved on to atomic physics theory. About 13 years ago, he began to study high energy electron scattering in solids. He solved a classic problem relating to the induced gradual deterioration of semiconductor devices due to high energy particles. Since those studies, he has entered the field of plasma physics. He has been particularly interested in the computational design of flat panel video monitors employing plasma displays. He played a pivotal role in establishing a consortium involving Sandia National Laboratories, Photonics Imaging of Toledo and The University of Toledo to pursue these investigations, which were subsequently funded for $4.1 million over three years, with more than $800,000 coming directly to LIT. His efforts are having a significant h'npact on the development of flat panel color plasma display devices. More recently, he has been awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation for a theoretical study of high pressure microdischarges. Williamson earned his bachelor of arts degree in mathematics from San Francisco State University, his master of science degree in physics from the University of California, and his doctoral degree in physics from the University of Colorado.

Telecourses Help Students Go the Distance in Learning
If you're interested in taking college courses in the privacy of your own home, or you are unable to attend classes on campus, The University of Toledo Community and Technical College's telecourses might be the option for you. Telecourses are geared toward self-motivated, mature learners who cannot attend classes on campus yet desire to attain a college education. "Telecourses are aimed at adult students who are unable to attend traditional lectures on campus because of work schedules and family responsibilities," said George Weidner, project director for the Division of Contract Education in UT's University College and a telecourse instructor. "We want to create opportunities for everyone who wants to pursue an education. One way UT does this is through distance learning." UTCTC first offered the courses in 1995. Since then, more than 100 students have completed the courses, said Jerome Sullivan, associate dean of instruction at UTCTC. Students are required to view or tape 26 half-hour episodes for each course, which are aired Monday through Friday on WGTE's Educable on Buckeye Cablevision (channel 29A converter, channel 95A nonconverter). Weidner likens the telecourses to independent studies because the instructor for each course serves as a facilitator, administering exams and answering students' questions about the program or course material. Prior to the start of class, students will receive a course syllabus from their instructor and can purchase texts and study guides fi'om the UTCTC bookstore. They will meet during the first week of the quarter for orientation. Four telecourses, each worth three credit hours, will be offered fall semester: College Composition I, American Political System, Introduction to Sociology and Principles of Psychology. All programs will air fl'om 8 to 10 a.m., beginning on Thursday, Sept. 4.
