Editor’s Note

A Second Helping of History

I

looked around the Campus Club dining room in search of familiar faces—faculty members, staff, and alumni—who might also have their families in tow for Mother’s Day brunch. I was curious to see another side of people I knew and to look for traces of them in the faces and gestures of their children, siblings, or parents. Toasts and jokes and animated discussions bounced off the windows overlooking the river, and I caught a few snippets and stories. One 50-something alumnus in a maroon shirt leaned in at the round table where he sat with his family. “Mom,” he said, a glint in his eyes, “do you remember what you said when I was a kid and told you I wanted to come to the U to play basketball?” His mother looked up from her plate, searching her memory. “No,” she said. “I don’t.” “You told me you’d never let me come to the U because the place was full of Communists,” he said. His siblings erupted in laughter and everyone spoke at once. “Seriously?” Shelly Fling “You’re kidding.” “You said that, Mom? Wow.” She waited for the fervor to fade. “Well, you have to remember, that was a different time,” she said with a tinge of sadness. “That was the height of the Cold War. There was a lot of fear.” “There’s some truth to it,” said one of the guests, noting the accusations of Communist affiliations that befell some faculty members in the 1950s and how the hysteria led normally thoughtful, principled figures to make deplorable decisions. “It’s ignorance,” said one of the daughters, shaking her head. “No, it’s fear,” said the other, “and cowardice.” They took to recalling their grade school days and the duck-and-cover drills should a Soviet missile be aimed at their small town in southwestern Minnesota. Listening to this exchange brought to mind the story we were preparing for this issue of Minnesota, about another era in American—and University of Minnesota—history. That, too, was a “different time” when there was “a lot of fear.” I wanted to tell them all about it—that this sort of thing had happened before and, if upright people didn’t acknowledge this and understand how and why, it would happen again. And again. I interrupted and told them to watch for this issue of the magazine and to read the story about a political science professor on campus during World War I. While he suffered a tremendous injustice, I said, some good eventually came about because of it. The table’s conversation turned to yet another wartime era, when Japanese citizens were sent off to internment camps, and the mother told a story about how her father needed help on the farm during World War II and so German prisoners being held nearby were trucked in. They were kind and gracious, she said. “They weren’t Nazis.” People from a neighboring town settled by German immigrants visited the prisoners and brought them cakes and other provisions. She paused and recommended a book she had just read that she thought might change their opinion about some aspects of the war. Her son smiled, his eye again catching a glint of light. “I don’t know if I want my opinion to change.” ■ Shelly Fling is editor of Minnesota. She may be reached at fling003@umn.edu.

Letters book about Owre. I was very impressed with his ideas and contributions to dentistry and Minnesota. One small fact I remember that was not mentioned in the article was that his hiking companion in California was John Muir! Wouldn’t we have liked to eavesdrop on those conversations. The article was right on about Owre’s contributions. Richard Oliver (D.D.S. ’53) Rio Verde, Arizona

MEETING GREAT EXPECTATIONS

PRONE TO WORDPLAY

Someone was trying to make a clever play on words with titling the photo on page 47 of the Spring 2013 Minnesota with “Prone to Study.” Unfortunately, the student in the photo is supine, not prone. Your well-educated alumni audience is sure to notice. David Yarusso (B.S. ’78) Shoreview, Minnesota

RIGHT ON ABOUT DEAN OWRE

As a School of Dentistry graduate (1953), former dean of the school (1977–86), and recipient of the University’s Outstanding Achievement Award (2012), I enjoyed immensely your article on Alfred Owre [“Molar Authority,” Winter 2013]. I was trained in Owre Hall. When I left the deanship at the University of Southern California to return to Minnesota, I remember reading a

Thanks again for another inspiring and well-written issue of Minnesota magazine (Winter 2013). It is always so interesting because of its well-rounded inclusion of historical and current alumni. The “Molar Authority” article on Dean Alfred Owre was very well done, as was the cover story about Judy Helgen. It speaks to the expectations of all of us that we continue to get such an intelligent offering. Thanks to everyone on the staff for producing such an excellent and funto-read magazine.

cell biology, jumped on board, literally, and accompanied me to some ponds that had high frequencies of abnormalities in young frogs. On the road, he gave me a crash course in frog biology, and later, he tested frog eggs we collected for him and did other research as well. His collaboration is detailed in my book, Peril in the Ponds. As pointed out, Dr. McKinnell carried out extensive field population surveys of frogs in the Midwest as well as basic research in his lab. Judy Helgen (Ph.D. ’82) Roseville, Minnesota

CORRECTIONS

A NOD TO A FELLOW RESEARCHER

The aircraft pictured in the profile of Major Tammy Barlette [“She’s Just Got to Fly,” Spring 2013] was incorrectly identified. The plane is an A-10 Thunderbolt II. The name of Alumni Service Award recipient Jan Anderson Meyer was misspelled in the Winter 2013 issue. The caption for the photograph in “Craving Our Caveman Days” [Spring 2013] misidentified the animals in the Bell Museum of Natural History diorama as elk. They are woodland caribou. The editors regret the errors.

In response to the letter [“Leapfrogged,” Spring 2013] about the absence of Bob McKinnell from the Winter 2013 Minnesota article about my research: During our work investigating deformed frogs in Minnesota, Bob McKinnell, professor emeritus of genetics and

;`jZfm\i`\j BREAST CANCER ENZYME IDENTIFIED Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center have identified an enzyme responsible for DNA mutations found in the majority of breast cancers. The discovery of this enzyme, called APOBEC3B, may change the way breast cancer is diagnosed and treated. Reuben Harris, associate professor of biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics, and his team built on their previous HIV research to identify the enzyme. That research showed that APOBEC3B and related enzymes function normally to protect the body from infectious viruses such as HIV. Harris’s lab discovered that the enzyme is overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines and tumors, resulting in DNA mutations. The discovery could lead to the development of a blood test for early detection if more research confirms the finding. The research was published in the February 6 issue of Nature.

PRIME TIME SUCCESS CYANIDE SOLUTION Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Drug Design have developed a fast-acting injectable antidote for cyanide poisoning. Led by Steve Patterson, associate director of the Center for Drug Design, researchers discovered the antidote using the chemical sulfanegen triethanolamine, which allows the body to convert the cyanide to a less toxic chemical. Administered by injection, the antidote can be used in the case of a mass casualty emergency or to treat victims of smoke inhalation. The antidote also functions as a prophylactic and could protect firefighters or emergency personnel if taken prior to cyanide exposure. Existing antidotes to cyanide poisoning are typically administered by intravenous drip over a period of 15 minutes. But cyanide can kill in much less time than that by preventing the cells from using oxygen. The research was published in the January 9 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

Mentoring and leadership training can help teenage girls at high risk for becoming pregnant choose to use contraceptives, according to the outcomes of an 18-month-long study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota’s School of Nursing. According to the United Nations Demographic Yearbook, 34 out of every 1,000 15- to 19-year-old girls gave birth in the United States in 2010, while in other industrialized nations, that number ranged from 5 to 17 per 1,000. Developed by Renee Sieving, associate professor in the School of Nursing and Department of Pediatrics, the Prime Time program assigned adolescent girls to a case manager and engaged them in multi-session training and employment as peer health educators. The case manager and teen met monthly, with an emphasis on discussing consistency of contraceptive use and other responsible sexual behaviors. As peer educators, the girls were asked to reach and teach up to 50 people—family members, friends, or other teens in their schools and neighborhoods—using information they had learned in the peer educator training sessions. Girls who participated reported using condoms with their partners all or most of the time in 1.53 of the previous six months, compared with 0.93 months in controls. They also used hormonal contraceptives more consistently in 3.29 of the previous six months, compared with 2.34 months. The study was published in the February 25 issue of JAMA Pediatrics.

VERY VARIED, VERY ALARMING Researchers at the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health have discovered a wide and surprising variation in cesarean delivery rates in the United States, especially among women who are at low risk for the surgery. Assistant professor Katy Kozhimannil and her team examined discharge data from a representative sample of 593 hospitals with at least 100 births in 2009 and found that cesarean delivery rates varied tenfold, from 7 percent to 70 percent. Even wider variation was found among lower risk women, defined as those whose deliveries were not preterm, breech, or multiple gestation and who had no history of cesarean delivery. Among this group, for whom researchers expected less variation, rates varied by a factor of 15, from 2 percent to 36 percent. Cesarean delivery is the most common surgery in the United States. While it is clearly indicated for some women, Kozhimannil said the scope of variation found in the study, particularly among low-risk women, is alarming given the risks of the procedure, including higher rates of infection and rehospitalization, more painful recovery, breastfeeding challenges, and complications in future pregnancies. She noted that cesarean delivery rates also have public policy implications, since nearly half of all U.S. births are financed by Medicaid programs, and cesarean births are more expensive than vaginal deliveries. The study was published in the March 4 issue of Health Affairs.

The best option for warding off extinction of African lions is to fence vast areas of their habitat, according to a study by renowned lion researcher Craig Packer of the University of Minnesota’s Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior. The study found that despite substantial initial costs, fencing would be less expensive and more effective in the long run than current conservation methods. African lion habitat has been reduced by at least 75 percent over the last century. Human encroachment has resulted in a substantial increase in lion attacks on humans and livestock, leading to retaliatory killing by villagers to protect their families and livestock. At current rates, almost half of unfenced lion populations could disappear in 20 to 40 years. The precise population of African lions is difficult to determine, but estimates range from 16,500 to 47,000, down from hundreds of thousands in the 1950s. Some game reserves are currently fenced. Packer and his research team compared population densities and management practices across 42 sites in 11 African countries. They found that fenced reserves maintained lions at 80 percent of their potential population capacity on annual management budgets of about $500 per square kilometer per year, while unfenced areas maintained them at just 50 percent of capacity at an average cost of $2,000 per square kilometer. Packer said fencing would have to be placed around massive areas of land in order to be effective. Fencing the 17,000-square-mile Selous Game Reserve—home to the largest remaining lion population in the world— would cost approximately $30 million. Such huge expenses, he said, point to the need for the equivalent of a conservation Marshall Plan that would establish a global funding agency. The study was published in the March 5 issue of Ecology Letters.

s he neared his 60th birthday, David Hunter (M.D. ’74) wanted to get away from the long hours and high intensity of working as an emergency room physician. A founding partner of the largest emergency medicine group in California, Hunter had been practicing medicine and running his growing business for more than 25 years. It was time for a change. “I spent much of my career working in emergency rooms in low-income areas,” says Hunter, 64, who lives in Scotts Valley, California. “I saw many victims of gang violence and treated lots of gunshot wounds and stabbings. But I also got to know a lot of bright young kids who, despite their environment, got good grades and were optimistic about their futures. They inspired me.” They still do. In 2009 Michael McCullough, an emergency physician who had worked with Hunter, offered him a job as CEO of the Quest Scholars Program, a nonprofit organization McCullough cofounded in Palo Alto that helps place highachieving, low-income high school students at 35 of the best colleges and universities in the United States. Hunter, who also holds a law degree from Harvard, readily accepted the offer, even though it came with a catch. “When they asked me to be the CEO, they also asked ‘Would you be willing to do it for free?’ I said, ‘Sure,’ ” he says. “I’d rather they take the money that would be my salary and invest it in these kids.” Nationwide, roughly 35,000 low-income high school students score more than 1300—near the 90th percentile—on the combined

38

math and verbal SAT scores, but the vast majority of them never even dream of applying to top colleges and universities. “These kids face tremendous challenges; maybe Dad’s in prison and Mom’s working three jobs—but they don’t see themselves as victims,” Hunter says. “I really believe in the power of education—and I think these kids represent a tremendous underutilized resource to our country.” Hunter says the biggest challenge is reaching good students and persuading them to apply to top universities. Last year, the Quest Scholars Program sent out 750,000 e-mails and 250,000 print mail packets to prospective scholars nationwide. More than 7,000 submitted college applications through the program. Almost 400 received full-ride scholarships; some 1,600 other applicants received generous financial aid packages that enabled them to enroll at partner schools. Currently more than 4,000 Quest Scholars are enrolled in college. “It’s amazing to meet these young students and see what an education can do for them,” Hunter says. “One of our scholars is the student body president at Princeton. Another was recently invited to give a TED talk. “When I was an ER doctor, I often had the opportunity to save lives—which was very gratifying,” Hunter recalls. “It’s almost as gratifying to bring a student into the Quest Scholars Program.” —Chuck Benda David Hunter (center) with Quest Scholars from the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Princeton, Rice, Emory, the University of Chicago, Amherst, Northwestern, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale, the University of Southern California, Haverford, Washington and Lee, and the University of Virginia

The ceremony, held this year on April 30, honors recipients of the Horace T. Morse–Alumni Award for Outstanding Contributions to Undergraduate Education—named for the first dean of the University’s General College, who served from 1946 to 1966—and the Award for Contributions to Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, and Professional Education. The Academy of Distinguished Teachers was established in 1999 to advance the University’s teaching mission. The Alumni Association, the Senate Committee on Educational Policy, and the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost cosponsor the awards. Recipients are pictured below.

Educator for Life Susan Wick knows deep in her bones the challenges faced by students who are the first in their families to go to college. A University of Minnesota professor of plant biology, Wick grew up in inner-city Milwaukee in a working-class family where the very idea of education was foreign. Her parents didn’t attend high school, much less college. Today that experience has helped Wick excel at encouraging and mentoring her students, especially those who are firstgeneration. “It’s not that all homes with more highly educated parents sit around having deep philosophical discussions all the time, but there is a certain level of critical thinking that usually comes with exposure to college coursework and that tends to influence day-to-day life,” Wick says. “Most of us from first-generation homes never experienced that and may not realize how that subtle difference affects how we approach school and life in general.” On April 30 the University of Minnesota recognized Wick and seven other outstanding teachers as recipients of the Horace T. Morse–Alumni Award for Outstanding Contributions to Undergraduate Education. The award is presented annually to selected faculty who demonstrate uncommon skill, excellence, and commitment to their students. Wick says her experience as an international student—she spent a year in Japan as an undergraduate and did postgraduate work in Australia—helped her become an empathetic teacher. “Everyone should have the experience of being a minority in society, especially when young, so they can be sensitive to what that is like for others. International students, like many first-generation students, come from a home culture that may be slightly—or very—different than those of the majority of students,” she says. “Sue has a knack for understanding students and developing mentoring relationships that go beyond standard advising,” says Professor Gary

She helped design a course called Foundations of Biology for Biological Science Majors, a pioneering activelearning model that has changed the culture of biology instruction at the U. “The aim is to have students do biology,

not just read or hear about it,” Wick says. Her primary focus in developing undergraduate courses has always been to enhance students’ learning experiences so that when they graduate they possess problem-solving skills and, most importantly, remain curious about the world around them. —Erika Block

LEWIS: PETER MORENUS • HORSAGER: JOSH KOHANEK

O

ver the past year, I’ve had the privilege to travel around the state and nation to attend alumni gatherings and other events hosted by the Alumni Association and to see firsthand the diverse and unique qualities that our alumni bring to the fabric of the University of Minnesota. I was especially interested in learning how the University illuminated the lives of alumni. These were the most enjoyable moments when meeting alumni. Each person told a story that was unique to him or her, but also—in each case—was clearly part of a larger theme. Some spoke about professors and courses that helped them discover their passions. Others said their degree led to making connections that created new opportunities or helped them advance their ideas. And others told of the life-changing impacts of the relationships they built at the U. I would often look at the faces and note the vast range of ages, professions, and interests. I thought about one of nature’s examples of the value of deep and broad connections that I saw growing up on a farm— something you might appreciate if you travel through rural Minnesota this summer. Alfalfa hay Kent Horsager is an important source of feed for milk cows and other livestock. The alfalfa plant grows about 3 feet high before being harvested. Its root system, however, is a fibrous web that winds as deep as 45 feet below ground. Its deep, broad root structure connects it to a rich supply of nutrients. Just imagine the life-sustaining interconnections beneath the surface in an entire field of alfalfa. The Alumni Association’s mission is to nurture such lifelong connections between alumni and their alma mater. The dynamic life of campus means the foundations of new traditions and connections are being forged every day. I recently toured the northeast Minneapolis studio of artist Nicholas Legeros (M.F.A. ’83), who has been commissioned to sculpt a bronze statue of Goldy Gopher. The 6-foot-3-inch statue will stand outside Coffman Memorial Union, and students are brainstorming ways to make our beloved mascot’s statue the centerpiece of new traditions. I have a feeling that rubbing Goldy’s teeth— keeping them illuminated for good luck—will be an irresistible ritual when Goldy is unveiled this fall during homecoming week. No farmer wants to see gophers in his or her alfalfa field. But Goldy will always hold an honored place in the hearts of U of M alumni. Thank you for sharing your stories with me this year. I hope to see you on campus soon—perhaps at the Goldy statue. —Kent Horsager (B.S. ’84)

Revenge Is Sweet Crooked cops, a down-on-his-luck good guy, a big-city con artist, a killer, a heroine, and a raging storm all await audiences in Sweet Revenge! on the Minnesota Centennial Showboat June 13 through August 24. “What more could you expect from a night at the theater? And where else but on the Showboat can you cheer on the hero and hiss the bad guy?” says returning Showboat director Peter Moore. In this, the Showboat’s 55th season, the Showboat Players—all University of Minnesota Theatre Arts & Dance students—perform this action-packed tale about a repentant criminal who steals the heart of a farmer’s daughter, only to have a con man claim her for his own. Caught in a web of deceit, the secret lovers must battle to overcome powerful forces.

Minnesota Opera veteran Vern Sutton directs the show’s signature olios, song and dance interludes straight from vaudeville. Docked on the banks of the Mississippi River at Harriet Island in downtown St. Paul, the Showboat welcomes guests with an upper deck lounge, a bar, and spectacular views of the city’s skyline. Sweet Revenge! matinees are performed at 2:30 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and evenings at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Following the performances on June 26 and July 25, University of Minnesota Alumni Association members and their guests are invited to an exclusive dessert reception with the Showboat players. Pricing and reservation information can be found at www.MinnesotaAlumni.org/ Utheatre. —Jennifer Benson
