Parade Of Photos-Ninety photos of Missoula and western Montana dating
back to 1883 have received rave reviews from Southgate Mall visitors. The mall's exclusive
exhibit, "Hallways to History: A Photographics Walk Through Missoula's Past,"
which opened Homecoming week, is on display for the next three years. Dale Johnson,
retired UM archivist, wrote the captions that accompany each photo on display. After the
exhibit closes, the photos will be auctioned to raise money for the K. Ross Toole Archives
at UM's Mansfield Library. All photos came from UM's archives and were enlarged, framed
and matted by the mall in collaboration with Friends of the Mansfield Library. The free
exhibit is open during mall hours. Helping On Halloween-A group of UM
students will trick or treat so those less fortunate in Missoula can eat. Ghosts, goblins
and other assorted volunteers are invited to join UM's Volunteer Action Services in a
Halloween evening food drive to benefit the Missoula Food Bank. The drive begins at 6:30
p.m. Sunday, Oct. 31, at the Davidson Honors College. If volunteers come calling at your
home, please give. For more information or to volunteer, call VAS at 243-4442.
Montanagrizzlies.com-Griz Gear and Griz Grub, UM's own official
clothing and food lines, are now available at the click of your mouse through the
Bookstore's new Web site. The Bookstore at UM sent out a new catalog this month featuring
its full line of Grizzly logowear -from coats and caps to shirts and sweatshirts - as well
as books about Montana and other UM memorabilia. Items can be ordered through the mail, or
online to save time. Just go to http://www.montanagrizzlies.com
or call (888) 333-1995, ext. 686.
Learning By Example-UM's Center for Leadership Development will host
its second women's leadership panel, "Personal Journeys of Women Leaders: Learning by
Example," from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 2, at the University Center Commons. The
event is free and open to the public. Audience members will have a chance to visit with
the panelists over refreshments following the panel discussion. Panelists include Earlene
Cusker, a mortgage loan consultant; Tish Herries, president of the Montana Chapter of the
Philanthropic Educational Organization; Jodi Martz, senior consultant with Health Care
Services; and Delight Scheck, a UM student.
Healthy Horses-Equine nutritionist Stephen Duren will present a clinic
Saturday, Nov. 6, at UM for people who work with horses or use them for recreation. The
program runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Urey Lecture Hall and is the third in the equine
education series organized by UM's Continuing Education. Registration costs $25 before
Friday, Oct. 29, and $30 after that date. To register, call (406) 243-2094 or visit http://www.umt.edu/equine.
Heart Healthy-UM executive chef Tom Siegel and registered dietitian
Laura Del Guerra cooked up a heart-healthy feast Oct. 20 for the top teams participating
in this year's American HeartWalk. About 30 winners from Western Security Bank and staff
and faculty members from UM's School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences dined on
seared venison and pheasant in Scotch, potato-wrapped toasted barley and lentil timbale,
smoked trout and salmon terrine, and other gourmet offerings. The two teams and about 70
others helped raise more than $23,000 for the American Heart Association during the Sept.
18 walk at Southgate Mall. UM was a major sponsor of the event.
Historic Gift-A Canadian couple recently presented UM's history
department with a $100,000 gift to establish a fellowship for the most-promising graduate
student in European history. The gift, one of the largest ever given to the department,
came from Ezio Cappadocia, a retired professor of European history at McMaster University
in Hamilton, Ontario, and his wife, Helen Ingersoll Cappadocia. They made the gift out of
friendship for UM Professor Richard Drake, who shares an interest in modern Italian
history. The Cappadocia fund memorializes Helen Cappadocia's parents, Rufus and Janet
Ingersoll, who studied at UM in the 1920s.
Sparking Research-The wildfire that charred eight acres on the face of
Mount Sentinel Sept. 12 may fuel research into how native and invasive plants recover from
fires. Marilyn Marler, botanist and UM's noxious weed coordinator, is working with Cindy
Buckalew, a student who had been studying the plants on the mountain before the fire.
Buckalew's monitoring plots will provide pre-fire data that she and Marler can use for
studies looking into which plants return first and how quickly. Mount Sentinel's native
vegetation has been largely supplanted by spotted knapweed, leafy spurge, dalmatian
toadflax, cheat grass and other noxious weeds.
Thanksgiving Break-UM students have a free travel day Wednesday, Nov.
24, for the Thanksgiving weekend. The University is closed for the holiday on Thursday and
Friday, Nov. 25-26. Classes resume Monday, Nov. 29.
Griz-Cat Food Drive-In the week leading up to the annual football
match between Montana's two universities Nov. 20, fans around the state will have a chance
to sharpen their claws and prove whether Grizzlies or Bobcats are the mightiest -- and
most generous -- hunters. The second annual Bobcat/Griz Food Drive challenges fans to see
which team can collect the most food to donate to their local food banks. UM collection
points will be in the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library and in the University Center.
