A wonderful writer, formidable critic, and much-loved teacher and mentor, Frank died in April. Part of his legacy to American letters is the distin- guished reputation of the workshop, where many of the greatest stars of contempo- rary literature developed their craft with his guidance. We remember him in this issue of Arts & Sciences (see page 24). Lan Samantha Chang, a Writers’ Workshop alumna and currently the Briggs- Copeland Lecturer in Creative Writing at Harvard University, will assume the directorship in January 2006. I look forward to welcoming her back to campus (see page 35). Iowa’s reputation as a place that nurtures great writers and communicators extends beyond the Writers’ Workshop. Our School of Journalism and Mass Com- munication also enjoys a tradition of excellence, which applies to the high-tech world of web design and digital broadcasting as much as to traditional media. One of the few accredited journalism schools that reside in a liberal arts and sci- ences college, our school prides itself on offering a broad educational foundation A message from that prepares students for adaptability and success in a rapidly changing fi eld. In the dean this issue of Arts & Sciences, we put our journalism and mass communication pro- grams in the spotlight as the school settles into its new state-of-the-art home, the Philip D. Adler Journalism and Mass Communication Building (see page 6). College of Liberal As technological advances affect all areas of life, some of the most innovative Arts and Sciences and exciting work in our college entails the merging of technology with other fi elds. For example, Associate Professor Kee-ho Yuen, a metalsmith in our School of Art and Art History, depends on both art and technology for inspiration and produc- tion (see page 14). And Associate Professor Lisa Troyer in our Department of Soci- ology studies human-technology interactions along with social relationships in technological environments (see page 16). The ability to apply and adapt established concepts to new situations is the hall- mark of a liberally educated person, and our faculty, students, and graduates con- tinually demonstrate this ability with great success. In Arts & Sciences, we strive to show as many facets of this phenomenon as time and space allow, from a new fea- ture on the results of faculty research to our alumni profi les. Let us know what you think of our magazine as well as our programs and goals. It’s important to us that you, our alumni and friends, stay connected to our mission and our future. 2 Arts & Sciences 15240_SP 2 1/12/06 8:23:02 PM Their BrilliantThree CLAS alumni combine Careers experience, interests, and hard work to become leaders in their industries.

    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 5 STATE OF IOWA AUGUST 5, 2009 Contact: Brad Berg FY 2010 BUDGETS – UNIVERSITIES, IOWA PUBLIC RADIO, BOARD OFFICE Actions Requested: Consider approval of FY 2010: 1. Regent institutional budgets as presented on pages 5-9. 2. Iowa Public Radio budget as presented in Attachment D on page 23. 3. Board Office operating budget as shown in Attachment E on page 24. Executive Summary: Consistent with the Board’s strategic plan to demonstrate public accountability and effective stewardship of resources, all institutional budgets are approved annually by the Board. The FY 2010 budgets for the special schools were approved at the June 2009 meeting. In April, the Board considered key budgetary issues to provide guidance in the development of the FY 2010 institutional budgets. In June, the Board approved the institutional salary policies and received FY 2010 budget development updates from Iowa’s public universities, which included the projected application of one-time federal economic stimulus funding. The Board also adopted a resolution to hold salaries flat in FY 2010 for all non-bargaining unit employees with exceptions being approved by the institutional heads upon consultation with the Board Office. The Board is now asked to consider approval of the proposed budgets for the universities, Iowa Public Radio, and the Board Office. The Regent institutional budgets include two basic types of funds: General operating funds include operational appropriations, interest income, tuition and fee revenues, reimbursed indirect costs, and sales and services revenues. Some appropriations are designated for specific operating uses and cannot be used for other purposes.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

While our state appropriations have been reduced to levels of 11 years ago, the UNI community's resourcefulness in identifying revenue and cost-containment strategies and the availability of stimulus funds will allow for the most strategic response possible. Moving forward with strong alumni support, sound priorities and excellent faculty and staff, prospects are great that UNI will continue to have a powerful impact on the success of our students and the well being of Iowa. Initiatives for sustainability and diversity complement our priorities, which are to build an even stronger undergraduate program, to lead the state in pre-K through 12 education issues, and to increase assistance to the state in economic, social and cultural development.

We want to take time to thank John Trandem of the Fargo-Morehead area for responding to our plea for articles for our newsletter. Over the years, John has contributed a few which really show his long time love of our favorite brand. John is really an expert on the 70s era Marks. He knows how to find the best examples and at the right price. Here is John’s story…. It was 1994, and I had just moved to Minneapolis at the age of 19 when I started noticing the Lincoln Mark V. In those years, there were still plenty of them on the road, and they could be bought for a reasonable price, so I set out to find one. Now when I say 'reasonable price,' what I Welcome to the really mean is three figures- not four, so my choices were not exactly abundant, but they were out there. Browsing one of the local auto trader type magazines one day, I came across a 1977 Lincoln Northstar News, the Mark V Cartier and wanted it bad! The problem is that it was $2,000, and I didn't have $2,000 monthly publication of any more than I had $2,000,000, so I looked at the ad every day and hoped that another one would the Northstar Region come along in my price range. Well, one did, but it was not a Cartier, and is not the subject of this story, but I did own my first Mark V- Burgundy with a white half-vinyl top and Burgundy Roma- of the Lincoln and no velour interior.

  • Good Day, Mystery Fans! Today's Stellar Author Is John Sandford. I
    Good day, Mystery Fans! Today’s stellar author is John Sandford. I could do two write-ups on his work as he has two heroes, and perhaps I will. For now, though, I would like to tell you about Virgil Flowers, my personal favorite. The thirteen book ongoing series started in 2007 with Dark of the Moon. T he latest one, published in 2021, is O cean Prey. Sandford’s Lucas Davenport series has titles that all have the word “Prey” in them, so you might be wondering what Flowers is doing in a “Prey” book. The answer must be that Sandford wanted to capture the fans of both of his heroes with just one book. Flowers is tall, lean, late thirties and has been divorced three times. Deciding he did not want to be a four time loser, he stopped getting married. He is still a bit of a lady’s man. He works for the fictional Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in the twin cities of St.Paul and Minneapolis. He has a university degree in environmental science, is an outdoorsman and a published author in hunting and fishing magazines. Flowers loves to fish, and often brings his fishing boat behind his car when seeking justice for the wrongdoer. In order to be completely transparent in my reviews, I should say that I grew up in St.Paul and thus recognize lots of the places where Virgil goes in his quest to catch or dispatch the villains. The books are thrillers, not cozys. There are some graphic scenes, but they don’t overwhelm the narratives.
