    Allen Trues West, running through March 28 at the Denver Art Museum (DAM),

    the Denver Public Library and the Colorado History Museum, features illustrations,

    paintings, murals and more by Allen Tupper True (attd. 18991900), a Colorado

    native and DU alumnus who was once among the best-known Western artists in

    the country. The exhibit divides Trues work into three categories at three locations:

    Illustrations are on display at the library; murals (and studies and photographs of

    murals) are at the history museum; and Trues fine art paintings are at the DAM. The

    exhibits three curators all are DU alumni as well: Peter Hassrick (MA 69) at the DAM,

    Alisa Zahller (MA art history 97) at the Colorado History Museum and Julie Anderies

    (MA art history 06) at the library.

    Changes in communication programs expand options

    The University o Denver is realigning a part o its Division o Arts, Humanities and Social Sci-

    ences (AHSS) in an eort to provide greater choices to communications students.

    The new arrangement approved by the DU Board o Trustees dissolves the School

    o Communication as an academic and administrative unit. The schools departments have been

    renamed the Department o Communication Studies and the Department o Media, Film and

    Journalism Studies. Four new majors also were created.

    Im very pleased that these thoughtul changes to the communication program at DU will

    result in greater options or our students, says Anne McCall, AHSS dean.

    The Department o Communication Studies will eature a single major with three emphases:

    culture and communication, interpersonal and amily communication, and rhetoric and communi-cation ethics. The department will continue to oer masters and PhD degrees in communication

    studies.

    The Department o Media, Film and Journalism Studies will oer three new majors: strategic

    communication, media studies, and lm studies and production. The department will keep its jour-

    nalism studies program, its graduate programs and its relationship with the School o Art and Art

    History or its digital media studies program.

    Current communication students can nish the degree they started or opt into one o the new

    majors. Inormational meetings or students began Jan. 20.

    DU posts best student

    retention since 2001

    Ater the all 2009 quarter, 97.2 percent o

    students who entered the University o Denver

    as rst-year, rst-time students returned or winter

    quarter 2010.

    It is the highest all-quarter-to-winter-quarter

    persistence rate since 2001, when 97.5 percent ostudents returned. Last academic year, the rate was

    96.1 percent. Based on numbers ater the third

    week o classes, 34 students out o the rst-year class

    o 1,210 did not return or winter quarter.

    We pay attention to our student persistence

    rates to help us do a better job in retaining and

    graduating students, says Tom Willoughby, vice

    chancellor or enrollment.

    Many actors impact persistence, Willoughby

    says, including whether the University has done a

    good job in selecting students that are a good t or

    DU.

    While some o the reasons students dontreturn are beyond our control, there are many things

    we can take charge o and infuence, Willoughby

    says. He says this includes providing an inclusive

    environment with strong academic and student lie

    programs that provide a quality student experience.

    We collect and track inormation to access

    patterns and use this inormation to improve

    programs to increase student satisaction, he adds.

    Willoughby says registered students with a

    3.0 GPA or higher have a signicantly higher rate

    o persistence than the overall class. He also notes

    that students let or a variety reasons but nancial

    aid was not one o them 97.4 percent o students

    classied as having high nancial aid need returned

    At new sub shop, a working class hero is

    something to see

    Coloradans who think a amous

    Brooklyn hero is second baseman Jackie

    Robinson or center elder Duke Snider

    are in or a tasty bit o re-education.

    Deli Zone, a regional chain o

    sandwich shops, opened a DU-arearestaurant Feb. 16 with proo that the

    phrase has nothing to do with the old

    Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team and

    everything to do with hero sandwiches.

    Classes start at the newest Deli

    Zone location at 2439 S. University Blvd., just south o Wesley Avenue. Let the course work

    begin!

    Its a nice little sub sandwich environment, says proprietor Trey Cronin. Weve been

    looking in the University area or a while now. We eel our concept is tied nicely to the

    community.

    For those who werent around in the 1930s, heroes are another name or the oversize

    Italian sandwiches popular in New York. The sandwiches were so large, New York Herald

    Tribuneood writer Clementine Paddleord once quipped, that you needed to be a hero tonish one.

    Deli Zone hopes to expand on that lore at its DU location, the 13th in a chain that began

    in Boulder in 1994 and now includes stores in a number o Colorado cities including Aurora

    Thornton, Laayette, Wheat Ridge, Centennial, Longmont, Broomeld and Denver.

    The Deli Zone concept is New York-style hot and cold subs, sandwiches and salads

    everything rom the Manhattan (grilled turkey, artichoke hearts, lettuce, tomato, onions

    provolone, garlic spread and pesto mayo) to the New Yorker (corned bee and pastrami with

    coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Dijonaise on French bread.)

    The 40-seat sandwich shop will deliver rom Broadway to Monaco Parkway and Alameda

    Avenue south to Hampden Avenue and will stay open as late as 2:30 a.m. on weekends.

    It opens at 7 a.m., oering breakast items such as the Kong sandwich, an assembly o

    eggs, bacon, ham, hash browns and American cheese on French bread. Variations on the

    Kong are named or people such as Joe Namath and Joe Torre, and or New York locations

    including Times Square, Wall Street, Central Park and Hells Kitchen.

    boys become depressed.

    Depression is a signicant public health concern, Hankin says. It aects all areas o your lie: school, amily, riends, work and happiness.

    Rob Roberts, chair o the DU psychology department, says Hankin has been a wonderul addition to the program since he arrived in 2008

    The department has a strong ocus on developmental psychopathology.

    Depression is a pervasive and serious mental health issue, so Bens work could have a signicant impact on many, Roberts says. Hes also

    a great collaborator. In the short time hes been here, hes started collaborative research projects with many o our aculty.

    Hankin will accept the award at the American Psychological Association convention in San Diego Aug. 13.

    When Molly Newman was a theater major at DU, it never occurred to her how her acting training wouldprepare her for a career behind the scenes.Newman (BA theater 76), currently a writer and executive producer for the ABC drama Brothers and

    Sisters, finds that having a grasp of acting technique makes her job easier.

    As a producer, I work with these powerhouse actors every day, so its important for me to understand their

    process as artists what they need to interpret the scene correctly, how they can emotionally make the journey

    from point A to point B in an honest and compelling way, she says.

    The show, which debuted in 2006, is a character-driven family drama with one of the most celebrated casts

    on television, including Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, Rob Lowe and Ken Olin. Now in its fourth

    season, Brothers and Sisters averages more than 9 million viewers each Sunday.

    Newman says that when shes writing, she needs to get inside every characters head, understand their point of view and know what

    they want. These are the first steps she learned as a student actor when approaching a new character: What does my character want in

    this scene? What is the conflict or obstacle standing in the way of getting what I want? What is my point of view?

    We have a large ensemble on our show, and sometimes Im writing scenes with 10 or more characters, Newman says. The challenge

    is knowing from moment to moment what each character is thinking as well as what he or she is saying.

    Newman has been a writer

    on Brothers and Sisters since

    the beginning of its run on

    ABC. Her colleagues credit her

    with helping establish the voice

    and tone of the show.

    Her diverse acting

    background instantly makes

    her a better writer for TV, says

    David Marshall Grant, executive

    producer and showrunner of

    the hit series. TV lives or dies

    on dialogue, and Molly can gofrom drama to comedy on a

    dime.

    Over her career, Newman

    has written for other series,

    including Frasier, The Larry

    Sanders Show and Murphy

    Brown. She traces the start of

    her writing career to a time just

    after she graduated from DU.

    The Denver Center

    Theatre Company (DCTC) was

    auditioning local actors andNewman prepared an unusual

    audition piece adapted from oral histories of 19th and early 20th century women who quilted. The audition led to an invitation to expand

    the material into a full-length play and eventually led her to a career as a playwright.

    Her efforts became the musical Quilters. Originally produced by the DCTC in 1982, the play ran on Broadway in 1984 and was

    nominated for six Tony Awards. Quilters became one of the most produced musicals in America and was revived by the DCTC this year.

    Ive reinvented myself more than once from actor to playwright to television producer and writer, she says. For me, each

    experience informs the next one. I dont think I could have landed in this career place without going through the various steps along the

    way. And I hope there are more to come Im always invigorated by a new challenge.

    DU creates first-ever masters in

    childhood librarianship

    Parents, caregivers and schools all play integral

    roles in building early childhood literacy, but local

    libraries and their librarians oten are the tie that

    brings them all together.

    To help oster that relationship, the Library and

    Inormation Science (LIS) program in DUs Morgridge

    College o Education is partnering on a one-o-a-kindmasters degree in early childhood librarianship.

    The new degree will prepare librarians to serve

    the early literacy needs o their communities. It will

    incorporate coursework and on-site learning experi-

    ences developed in conjunction with public libraries

    and child development and early childhood education

    partners.

    Mary Stansbury, associate proessor and LIS chair,

    says the program takes into consideration the needs o

    the early childhood learner.

    The early childhood librarianship program will

    provide an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes acombination o LIS coursework and child, amily and

    school psychology coursework in brain development,

    language acquisition and special needs, she says.

    Stansbury says students also will participate in

    on-site, hands-on learning in public libraries, early

    childhood education settings and early literacy advo-

    cacy organizations. Stansbury says the new masters

    degree ts with DUs commitment to advancing the

    public good.

    Early childhood literacy not only benets the

    individual child, it benets communities, she says. The

    long-term benets o early childhood literacy and devel-

    opment include higher grades, greater ability to ocus andbeing better prepared or success in school.

    The degree draws on courses and proessors

    rom our parts o the Morgridge College the LIS

    program; the child, amily and school psychology pro-

    gram; the Marsico Institute or Early Learning and Lit-

    eracy; and the Fisher Early Learning Center.

    Community partners or the program include the

    Arapahoe Library District, the Clayton Early Learning

    Institute, the Colorado State Library, the Denver Pre-

    school Program, the Family Educational Network o

    Weld County, Colorado Libraries or Early Literacy and

    Douglas County Libraries.

    DU has received $917,891 rom the Institute oMuseum and Library Services to develop the program.

    The institute is the primary source o ederal support

    or the nations 123,000 libraries and 17,500 muse-

    ums. The institutes mission is to create strong libraries

    and museums that connect people to inormation and

    ideas.

    Stansbury says 10 early childhood librarianship el-

    lows will be selected in spring o 2010 and the rst class

    will begin in all quarter 2010.

    Student learning video goes viral

    They wanted to reach a conerence o educators, but a classroom video

    produced by University o Denver students to introduce attendees to a survey on

    technology and teaching reached the world instead.

    Lynn Schoeld Clark, an assistant proessor o mass communication and jour-

    nalism at DU, was discussing with her media class the results o a survey gauging

    how students and proessors at DU eel about technology in the classroom when

    they hit upon the idea o making a video. With DUs Center or Teaching and Learn-

    ing (CTL) preparing or its New Media in Education conerence Jan. 29, studentshad only two weeks to

    come up with a concept

    and script, shoot and

    edit it.

    No problem.

    The nished prod-

    uct is a six-minute pre-

    sentation titled The

    Class.

    Its a spoo on the

    popular NBC sitcom

    The Oce, which

    chronicles the daily lie

    in a dysunctional oce

    led by a bumbling boss.

    For The Class, student

    John Boswell played

    the role o Michael,

    the proessor who cant

    master technology while

    his rustrated students

    complain they were told

    to buy expensive laptops

    and other technolo-

    gies that arent used byinstructors.

    Michaels attempts

    to engage his students

    are predictably a disaster.

    At one point he hands out

    foppy disks so outdated

    his students laptops

    dont even have drives

    to read them. Later, he

    gamely tries to use the

    video conerencing tool

    Skype except hes in the classroom simply projecting his ace on a giant screen.

    You are here. Why are we Skyping? a student asks. Uh, Im not sure,Michael answers. I have a lesson plan.

    The video went viral. Posted to YouTube, it has been viewed more than

    26,000 times.

    Bridget Arend, a CTL research and assessment analyst who helped organize

    the conerence, says the intent o the video wasnt to make un o proessors or

    suggest universities arent working to keep up with technology. What it does, she

    says, is provide a humorous introduction to a serious topic and open the door to

    examination and discussion o survey results showing that students and instructors

    are eager to draw more technology into the learning process. Chase Squire

    Thirty years ago, the United States Olympic hockeyteamwhich consisted of amateur players from thecollege hockey ranksupset what was considered the

    worlds greatest hockey power, the Soviet Union, in Winter

    Olympics competition in Lake Placid, N.Y. The victory,now known as the Miracle on Ice, was re-enacted in the

    2004 film Miracle, starring Kurt Russell.

    The University of Denver didnt have a player on

    the team, but alumnus Craig Patrick (BA economics 69)

    was behind the bench for the Miracle on Ice. Patrick

    (pictured, far left, with the DU team) played four years of

    hockey at DU and then played in the NHL for a decade.

    As his playing days wound down, Herb Brooks, the head

    coach for the 1980 Olympic team, asked Patrick to serve

    as assistant coach. Patrick would go on to serve as DUs

    athletic director from 198789 and work as a general

    manager with the NHLs Pittsburgh Penguins and New

    York Rangers.

    This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Miracle

    on Ice, and Patrick talked with DU about the legendary

    victory, his part in the story and its meaning after three

    decades. Read the full story at www.du.edu/today.

    Were you aware of the magnitude of the Miracle on Ice during the games in 1980?

    We had no idea what it meant. We were trying to win a hockey tournament. We were trying to win a medalmaybe we had an

    inkling. We were staying in the Olympic Village, so we really had no idea what was being presented in the media at the time.

    Has the accomplishments meaning changed over the years?

    I think the people that witnessed it have passed it on to their children. And with the movie, kids today have a good feel for what

    happened. It hasnt diminished at all in my mind or in the publics mind. People who have watched the movie have the same feeling as

    we did back then. I still get requests every day to sign autographs in the mail. And I was just an assistant coach.

    What did you think about the movieMiracle?

    I think it was great. It was really well done. Obviously, Hollywood had to change things. The director said, We have to show in two

    hours what you did in seven months. They had to move quick. But the storyline is perfect, and it was really, really well done. It should

    have been The Herb Brooks Story. He did an unbelievable job preparing that team. He knew a year in advance what he was going to do

    and how he was going to do it.

    What was your role as an assistant coach?

    My first day on the job Herbie said, Craig, heres your most important duty: We have an eastern faction of players and a westernfaction of players who hate each other. I think Im going to have to be a tough jerk and youre going to have to be the good shepherd to

    bring them all together. Thats exactly the way it played out. He was a brilliant man. His major in college was psychology. [U.S. player]

    Robbie McClanahan said he was a master psychologist, which he was.

    The victory over the Soviet Union was special. But how did you prepare the team to play for the gold medal?

    Herb made sure everyone was in bed and getting rest. It was great to beat the USSR, but it wasnt over. We had to play Finland. We

    were down 21 after the first period in the gold medal game, and Herbie was furious. He said he didnt even want to talk to them, so

    he told me to go in and talk to them. I went in and made my pitch and they said, Craig, dont worry. Were going to win this game. And

    they did, 42.Nathan Solheim

    Business college ups its

    admission requirements

    Students who enter the University o Denve

    beginning in all 2010 with the intention o majoring in

    business will ace new competitive entrance require

    ments or the Daniels College o Business.

    The secondary admission process is designed

    to reduce the number o undergraduate businesmajors rom roughly 2,200 to 1,800 over the course

    o our years.

    Nationwide, the interest in business degree

    is increasing, and as the Daniels College o Busi

    ness reputation has grown, so have our numbers,

    says Dan Connolly, associate dean or undergradu

    ate programs at Daniels. By reducing the numbe

    o students, we will be able to continue to delive

    a high-quality educational experience in the persona

    manner or which we are known.

    Daniels joins many other schools including

    Texas Christian University, Notre Dame, the Univer

    sity o Virginia and Southern Methodist University in implementing a secondary admission process.

    Students will be able to enter the Daniels Col-

    lege o Business through three channels. A very smal

    number o highly accomplished candidates will be

    invited to be admitted upon application to the Univer

    sity. Transer students also will be evaluated or direct

    admission to Daniels when applying to DU, provided

    they have met the prerequisite course requirements

    The vast majority o students will participate in the

    secondary application process during the all quarte

    o their sophomore year. Students who are currently

    enrolled in the University o Denver will not be sub

    ject to the new admission requirement.To apply, students must rst complete seven

    prerequisite courses and pass the Microsot Certied

    Application Specialist exams or Microsot Excel 2007

    Word 2007 and PowerPoint 2007. The applicatio

    process includes an online application, submission

    o a cover letter and resume, and an interview with

    business proessionals.

    Using a whole-person evaluation approach

    admission decisions will be based on a students aca-

    demic perormance and promise, involvement in the

    University and surrounding communities, quality o

    resume and cover letter, interview perormance, and

    overall well-roundedness. Those who are not admit

    ted on their rst attempt may apply again during the

    next application cycle, provided their applications and

    credentials have changed substantially to warrant a

    second consideration, Connolly says. Students inter

    ested in pursuing one o ve business minors are no

    required to complete an application.

    New club gets students footloose

    Sophomores Caitlin Barrett (pictured, let) and Janelle Ludowise (right) weredancers without a stage. They came to DU with a love o dance and the experience

    to back it up, but they didnt have a place to perorm on campus.

    So they put their best oot orward literally. They began DU Tappers, a club

    or students with or without tap-dancing experience. Currently there are eight active

    members.

    I began tap dancing when I was 5 years old but I didnt really concentrate on

    it until I was 8, says Ludowise, an English major rom San Jose, Cali. Ater that, I

    became more passionate about tap dancing and have kept at it ever since. When I

    got to DU, I really wanted to continue with tap because it was something I elt so

    strongly about and loved so much, but I couldnt nd any tap dance opportunities on

    or o campus.

    The club, which held its rst meeting in September, mostly consists o experi-

    enced tappers, but the level o experience varies.We have members that have been tapping or years and others that havent

    put on tap shoes in years, Ludowise says. We also have members that have never

    tap-danced in their lives.

    Their initial goal was that experienced tappers would teach the non-experienced

    dancers, says Barrett, an anthropology major rom Durango, Colo. Their cumulative

    goal is to showcase student-choreographed work to the campus community by the

    Tapping by yoursel is just not the same as tapping with a group, Ludowise says,

    noting that tap is all about the sounds.

    Each step contains a certain amount o sounds. A shufe which is one o the

    basic sounds a tapper rst learns has two distinct sounds, Barrett explains. The

    rst sound comes rom a brush orward, and the second sound comes rom a brush

    back. Tap is all about the rhythm in your eet.

    Barrett and Ludowise act as instructors or the group, too. The rst thing they

    warn beginning tappers, they say, is that learning to tap will take a lot o repetition.

    Its helpul to break down one step into smaller steps, Barrett says o her teach-

    ing technique. You teach the smaller steps and then t them together into the big

    step. Even i the student understands the general idea o the step it is usually benecial

    to keep practicing that step to truly master it.

    It takes about a year to learn the basic moves o tap, she says.

    Meetings or DU Tappers are held at 7 p.m. Wednesdays in the Centennial

    Towers lounge.
