First-Year Information Program to Help New UT Students
The First-Year Information (FYI) program, geared to helping first-year students adjust to college life, will be implemented at The University of Toledo this academic year. During fall quarter, approximately 1,000 new students enrolled in all undergraduate colleges will pa_rfcipate in the progra.mÿ coordinated by Dr. Gretchen Lovett, LIT director of retention services. All new students will participate each quarter thereafter. "FYI is a result of several years of outstanding committee work and strategic planning conducted by faculty, staff and students across the University," said Dr. Judy G. Hample, UT vice president for academic affairs. "This program is the implementation of UT's Directed Admissions Policy." Eighteen faculty and staff members representing UT' s undergraduate colleges were on the Directed Admissions Implementation Committee, which developed the final recommendations for the FYI program. The principles of the FYI program, based on studies conducted by researchers, reflect the ideas that institutions should ensure that new students enter with or have the opportunity to acquire the skills needed for academic success and that the primary commitment of institutions should be to their students. The FYI program consists of four major components: • The new student assessment program incorporates placement testing and an assessment of the new student's motivation and anxiety levels as well as competencies in specific study strategies. • The student educational planning process requires the students to identify strengths and areas to be improved related to academic, social, career and personal development; set goals; and determine specific avenues to attain the desired goals. • A one-credit, graded orientation course will be required of each first-year student. The course will meet for at least two one-hour sessions per week with an enrollment limit of 25 to 50 students per section. It will be offered through each college and will adhere to the guidelines and the orientation core curriculum. Each college will have flexibility to adapt the course to meet the special needs of its students. The orientation course core curriculum, designed to ensure that all new students share a common foundation, includes time management, career exploration workshops and study skills. Each section of the course will be taught by an instructional team consisting of a faculty or staff member and two student assistants/peer mentors. Members of the instructional team will participate in a centralized training program. • A mentoring program delivered by the instructional team of the orientation course will provide an informal contact for both group and individual meetings. Hample said, "The FYI program offers the potential to increase the satisfaction, success and ultimate graduation rate of our students." ### The University of Toledo

Two UT Engineers Taking Part in Pavement Study
Two University of Toledo faculty members are participating in a study that will make Ohio a national leader in the area of pavement research. Dr. Andrew G. Heydinger and Dr. Brian W. Randolph, associate professors of civil engineering, are working with researchers from five other Ohio universities on a $10.2 million construction project sponsored by the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The study, consisting of instrumenting and monitoring pavement sections on a three- mile stretch of U.S. 23 north of Delaware, Ohio, is scheduled to last until at least 1997. The research, originally identified under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), is being done through the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program, an international study conducting research on pavement at 64 sites in the United States and Canada. The Ohio project is the largest in the LTPP program, Heydinger said. According to Heydinger, he and Randolph, along with researchers from the Ohio State University and Case Western Reserve University, will investigate seasonal variations of temperature, moisture and frost penetration in and below the pavements. Heydinger said engineers from the University of Akron, the University of Cincinnati and Ohio University will study the effects of traffic loads. Heydinger said that the instrumentation installed at the site will be equipped with data acquisition systems that will record measurements obtained from the seasonal instrumentation. The equipment will also record pavement loads, strains and deformations during controlled loading tests. Heydinger believes that because different designs will be used for concrete and asphalt sections, researchers will be able to determine ways to cut the cost of highway construction and maintenance. "They're trying to cut down on the number of orange barrels on the side of the road," Heydinger said. "Pavement is designed for a particular design life," he added, pointing out that engineers take a number of variables into consideration when deciding the pavement design that will be used on a specific roadway. ### The University of Toledo

UT to Dedicate Brunner Multimedia Auditorium Sept. 30
University of Toledo President Frank E. Horton will dedicate the Brunner Multimedia Auditorium on the ground level of the College of Business Administration's Stranahan Hall at 9 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 30. Renovation and equipping of the high-technology, 100-seat lecture hall was made possible by a gilt to The University of Toledo Foundation by Dr. James A. and Eleanor Brunner (Corey Road, Toledo). Brunner, UT professor emeritus of marketing, retired in June 1993 after 42 years as a member of the University's faculty. "The auditorium will provide our students with a sharply enhanced learning environment," said Dr. Robert H. Deans, dean of the College of Business Administration. "They will be challenged by new material presented in innovative ways to help develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The state-of-the-art, high-technology classroom will enhance instruction for undergraduate and graduate students and those enrolling in the college's new executive master of business administration program." The facility will include a video projection unit, a CD-ROM system, a laserdisc, a video- cassette recorder, a Pentium computer, multimedia software, a wireless microphone, speakers and computer networking capabilities. This will permit a faculty member using the auditorium to incorporate any database or instructional material available anywhere in the world during a class
session, Deans said. A native of Columbus who earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in marketing at the Ohio State University, Brunner joined the University's business administration faculty as an assistant professor and acting chairman of the department of marketing in 1951. He was named chairman in 1954 and held that post until 1976. He was promoted to associate professor in 1955, to full professor in 1960, and received the University's Outstanding Teacher Award in 1968. Brunner is best known for his leadership during his years as a faculty member in the beautification of the Bancroft campus. He was chairman of the University's beautification committee between 1976 and 1993. He served as chairman of the Stranahan Hall building committee and was instrumental in the construction of Centennial Mall, the Pursuit of Excellence waterfall, the alumni gateway at the Bancroft campus entrance, the installation of the University (over) 2-2-2 tower carillon, and various other projects. He was a member of the building committees for Gillham Hail and the Carlson Library, the Intemationai House Residence Hail, the Pharmacy/ Chemistry/Life Sciences complex, the Scott-Tucker Hail renovation project and the art committee for the new College of Engineering complex. In 1958, he headed up The University of Toledo Levy Committee, which successfully persuaded Toledo voters to fund the then-municipal University with a dedicated real estate levy rather than with uncertain annual appropriations by Toledo City Council, making its progress toward state university status possible. Brunner has published extensively in business-related plofeÿ.sional juuruals, po.rticularly on marketing in the People's Republic of China - as early as 1976 and as recently as 1993 - and on the local economic impact of such major community events as the Toledo Museum of Art's E1 Greco, Rubens and Impressionists exhibitions; the visit of two Chinese pandas to the Toledo Zoo; and the construction of the Portside Festival Marketplace.

Seminars on Recycling and Waste Reduction to be Held at UT
Waste reduction and recycling for business and industry in northwest Ohio will be the focus of two seminars that will be held at The University of Toledo's Driscoll Center on Thursday, Oct. 6 and Oct. 13. The seminars, which will last from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., will feature speakers from area businesses with successful waste reduction and recycling programs. Also, specialists in planning industrial and commercial waste reduction programs will discuss strategies for reducing costs while improving environmental quality. Each seminar will concentrate on a specific area of business and industry. The Oct. 6 seminar is designed for manufacturers -- large and small. Manufacturers from throughout northwest Ohio will present case studies to review. The Oct. 13 seminar is aimed at retail and service businesses and institutions. Case studies will focus on benefits to those in the retail and service markets. Both seminars will help businesses prepare to meet standards recently adopted by the state of Ohio and the Lucas County Solid Waste Management District. Topics to be covered include: • How to conduct a waste audit; • Strategies for enlisting help in solving waste problems; • Analyzing the cost benefit of investments in waste reduction and recycling programs; • Involving employees at every level of the organization in combating waste; and • New sources of information on locally available services. Sponsors for the seminars are The University of Toledo, the Lucas County So!id Wÿte Management District, Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful and the Edison Industrial Center. Registration for each seminar is $20, which includes lunch and a waste reduction and recycling guide.

Red Cross Fall Blood Drive Set for October
The University of Toledo's students, faculty and staff are encouraged by the American Red Cross to contribute during the fall blood drive on Thursday, Oct. 6, at the Law Center and Tuesday through Thursday, Oct. 25-27, in the Student Union Ingman Room. Sponsored by the Dean of Students Office and Alpha Epsilon Delta, the blood drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Law Center and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union. There are always enough good reasons to donate, but perhaps the most basic incentive is put forth by Carla Hickey, communications coordinator for blood services at the Greater Toledo Chapter of the American Red Cross. "A pinch for a life," Hickey said. "If you can endure a pinch, it can save up to four lives." One unit can be divided among a number of patients in some cases, according to Hickey. The Red Cross is in especially low supply of Type O negative, a rare blood type, but needs 250 total units per day to supply 19 northwest Ohio hospitals, she said. Hickey emphasized that AIDS transmission is not possible because sterile equipment is used for each donor. The collection process takes about an hour, according to Terry Teagarden, UT coordinator of student media and coordinator of the UT blood drive. All candidates must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and have made their last donation on or before Aug. i i or Aug. 20-Sept. i (depending on day of donation). Interested donors are asked to bring their social security card or blood donor card and eat two hours prior to giving blood. "We've maintained a steady level of donations [at UT]; however, it's not as much as we'd like," Teagarden said. "Overall in the community, donations are not nearly where they should be." To make an appointment for donation or to assist in the donor room, contact Teagarden at ext. 2256.

UT Professor Receives Grant Second Year in a Row
A University of Toledo professor of chemistry and medicinal chemistry received a grant for nearly $140,000 from the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences for the second year in a row. Dr. Max O. Funk (Spring Creek Lane, Sylvania) will use the grant to study his proposal,"Aspects of Lipoxgenase Biochemistry," which deals with basic research on polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism. "The public holds a great interest in this; it wants to see nutritional facts," Funk said. "Americans need to control the amount of fat in their foods, and they also need to look at what kind of fat it is." According to Funk, the dividing line between good and bad fats is controversial, but generally saturated or animal fats are worse than unsaturated or vegetable fats. "This is why it is recommended that people use olive oil in cooking rather than butter. Olive oil contains the best combination of vegetable fats, while butter contains strictly animal fats." Funk said that through his research, he is trying to understand the details of how fats are used in the body. He decided to focus on lipoxgenase, an enzyme that controls the formation of a class of hormones. "This enzyme is important because the compounds it makes are proinflammatory, which can cause diseases such as heart conditions and asthma," he explained. "If we can block the action of the enzyme, we could create an effective drug in preventing inflammation and disease." Funk will remove the enzymes from soybeans rather than from humans for the study simply because it is easier and soybeans are more readily available. "We'll attempt to answer two questions: what is the enzyme's structure, and what is the mechanism of its action. If we can figure out what it's like and how it works, then we can inhibit the enzyme," he said.

Leaffer, Steinbock Named to Endowed Professorships in Law at UT
Marshall A. Leafier (Alexandria Drive, Toledo) and Daniel J. Steinbock (Brantford Road, Ottawa Hills), both professors in The University of Toledo's College of Law, have been named to the college's two endowed professorships for two-year terms. Leafier will hold the Anderson-Fornoff Professorship of Law and Values, previously held by Susan R. Martyn, and Steinbock will hold the Eugene N. Balk Professorship of Law and Values, previously held by Howard M. Friedman. Martyn and Friedman, whose two-year terms ended in June 1994, also are professors of law at UT. The endowed professorships carry annual summer research stipends in addition to salary. They permit the recipients to teach, write and lecture on the role of the lawyer in promoting socially responsible decision-making by corporate, institutional, governmental and individual clients, according to James M. Klein, interim dean of the college. During their tenure as endowed professors, Leafier will focus on copyright law and the meaning of the term "authorship" and Steinbock on the laws governing refugees; in particular which persons ought to be given refugee status. During the previous two years, Friedman wrote on the issues of administrative law reform and First Amendment free exercise, and taught in the areas of white collar crime and state constitutional law. Martyn wrote and taught on the subjects of bioethics and legal ethics. The professorships were established in 1992 through an endowment created by the late Toledo attorney Eugene N. Balk, a general parmer and general counsel to the Maumee-based grain, agricultural and retailing fh-rn, The Andersons, and by a gift from the Anderson Foundation. The professorships are named for their donors and, at Balk's request, in memory of the late Charles W. Fomoff, dean of UT's College of Law from 1942 to 1960. Leafier has been a member of the UT law faculty since 1978, and during that period he also has held appointments as a visiting professor at the Seton Hall University School of Law and as a lecturer at the Universit6 de Paris in France. Previously, he was an attorney adviser with the Copyright Office in Washington, D.C., and with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Arlington, Va. He also practiced law with the New York law firm of Hazeltine, Lake and Waters, the (over) 2-2-2 American Home Products Corp. of New York, and with Union des Fabricants and Aquarius International S.A., both in Paris. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas, a master's degree from the University of Illinois, his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, and a master's in law from the New York University Law School. He is the author or co-author of five books on copyright law and intellectual property published by Matthew Bender or BNA Books between 1989 and 1994 and is completing work onAn Introduction to Intellectual Property, which is scheduled for publication by Little Brown and Co. in 1995.

PET Preform Quality Tester Donated to Polymer Institute
The recent donation of a preform quality tester by Eastman Chemical Co. will provide graduate students at The University of Toledo's Polymer Institute new opportunites for investigating production properties of polyethelene terephthalate (PET), a plastic used to bottle carbonated beverages. According to Dr. Saleh A. Jabarin, director of the Polymer Institute, the preform tester will be used as an effective tool to perform experiments for study of PET's various properties both during and after the production process. Invented by Max Carroll, senior research scientist at Eastman Chemical Co., the machine will help students understand the process of blow molding and test preform quality before production in order to control costs. The machine is worth an estimated $28,000, and its role in the process of PET bottle production is of even greater value to Jabarin, who says a better product with more operator control is the prime benefit. "Some [blow molding] machines make 40,000 bottles an hour. If the incoming preforms are not of the right quality, even five minutes or 10 minutes of production which is off base could produce thousands of containers that are off specs [specifications]," he said. Preforms, which are small, molded plastic tubes to be formed into bottles, are first heated by the tester to soften them, then expanded by forced air. The volume of the resultant container is then measured and compared to standards to determine the quality of the plastic. If the volume of the bottle is too high, the PET material may have absorbed moisture from the environment, or may be considered to have a weak molecular structure that might allow the transfer of gases through the bottle wall. With periodic testing during preform production, Jabarin said, "the potential is quite high for saving money and optimizing the process." Many new developments have been made in the chemical composition of the matter in PET, he added, but it is not known how these developments affect the production of containers. Students will investigate how chemical modification of the PET formulations affects the material's ability to resist the absorption of moisture and the transfer of gases. They will study the fundamentals of blow molding, apply these fundamentals to various present formulations and observe the results of the finished product, he said. In plastic where the polymer chain is more perfectly aligned, more material is packed into a given space, creating a stronger plastic. The PET tester will allow Jabarin's students to test new polyester formulations and work toward more perfect alignment of the polymer chain.
