bian immigrant who subscribed
to a newspaper from his native
country.
Radulovich challenged the Air
Force's decision in an effort to
clear his family's name. His story
garnered local attention from The
Detroit News, and in Oct. 1953,
it received national coverage on
the Edward Murrow show "See it
Now" on CBS.
The press coverage of his case
drew support from thousands of
Americans and has been attrib-
uted to beginning the movement
that led to the end of the McCa-
rthy era.
Radulovich was reinstated in
the Air Force a month after the
1 "See it Now" broadcast as a result
of the media attention and was

they're both vegetarians and
ramen without meat byproducts
cost more than one dollar per
package. However, they have
learned tricks to get more bang
for their buck.
"The first day we did this, we
didn't know what to buy," Renz
said. "So my first purchase was
a pound of rice. Plain rice is so
boring - it's a chore to eat. As
hungry as I was, I was start-
ing to dread my next meal," she
said.
Renz said she's learned how to
add flavor to bland meals by add-
ing taco or ramen seasoning to
rice and wrapping it in a tortilla,
an extremely cheap yet filling
recipe.
The diet's lack of nutrition has
had physical effects, including
enrolled at the University until
1954.
After the ordeal, Radulovich
moved to California with his
wife and two children, where he
worked as a meteorologist for the
National Weather Service.
Radulovich's legacy was revis-
ited in 1996 when he worked with
writer Michael Ranville to tell his
story in the book "To Strike at a
King: The Turning Point in the
McCarthy Witch-Hunt."
"It became more of a healing
thing, culminating in the book,
then the movie," Sweeney said.
Sweeney said Radulovich also
served as a consultant for the
2005 film "Good Night, and Good
Luck," which was written and
directed by George Clooney. The
film, which uses clips from the
episode of "See it Now" featuring
Radulovich, outlines the political
conflict between McCarthy and
headaches and fatigue, especially
during the first few days, Renz
said.
"Atthe beginning, Iwondered -
I knew I'd do it, but I wasn't sure if
my life would be a happy thing for
a month," Porter said. "The body
can't digest stuff as easily, so a lot
of times after eating I had to go
straight to sleep."
Both students' bodies have
physically adjusted, and both said
they feel less hungry in general.
The most difficult thing, both
agree, is the psychological com-
ponent.
"It's difficult because food is
used as comfort so often," Por-
ter said. "This really enforces for
me that poverty and hunger are
body, mind, spirit, everything.
It's a mental problem if you're
hungry."
Renz and Porter's efforts will
culminate in a Hunger Aware-
ness Banquet on Dec. 9 in con-
Murrow.
He died on Nov. 19, 2007 at the
age of 81.
Cunningham said Radulovich's
death prompted the University to
consider granting a degree.
Dean of the College of Litera-
ture,Science andtheArts Terrence
McDonald addressed Radulovich's
honorary degree Thursday, saying
Radulovich "would have complet-
edhisbaccalaureatedegreewithin
a minimum of two terms if these
circumstances had not intervened
during his senior year."
Janet Sweeney, Radulovich's
youngest daughter, said the deci-
sion was unexpected.
"It came as sort of a surprise to
us," she said.
Sweeney said earning a degree
was very important to Radulo-
vich and that it was "something
he regretted that he didn't com-
plete."
junction with Theta Nu Xi and
the SERVE Issue Education
and Awareness team. The event
will feature speakers discussing
local hunger and poverty issues
and testimony from the two stu-
dents.
Though the students miss indul-
gences like lattes and sushi, they
said they won't be splurging on
Dec. 1.
"People say 'I'd eat all the food
from world,' but it'd be so sad if
that's what we came away with,"
Porter said. "I think I'm just going
to really enjoy the flavors and the
freshness."
Renz agreed, and said she feels
it will change the way she thinks
about eating after this experiment
is over.
"I've come to realize I can
sustain myself on this little," she
said. "It seems unnecessary for
my body and unnecessary for my
wallet."
U' inventor wins award
With 'plastic steel,'
alum won $15,000
By LAUREN DANTZER
Daily StaffReporter
Honored for his ultra-strong,
optically transparent "plastic
steel," University alum Paul Pod-
siadlo won a $15,000 prize at the
Collegiate Inventor's Competition
in Kansas City this weekend.
Podsiadlo was one of three
University affiliates - students
Brandon McNaughton and Paivo
Kinnunen were the others - who
traveled south for the contest,
which has recognized students
for sharing their inventions since
1990. Entries are judged on origi-
nality and inventiveness, as well as
their potential value to society.
While more than 2,000 teams
applied for the contest, 15 or fewer
are named finalists and receive an
all-expenses paid trip to Kansas
City to present their work in front
of a panel of judges. A cash prize
is awarded to the top graduate and
undergraduate winner, as well as
the overall grand prize winner.
Podsiadlo's new invention was
named the top graduate level prize
at the final judging.
According to the contest press
release, Podsiadlo created the
plastic by taking clay nanotubes
and assembling them together
in thin sheets, ultimately creat-
ing hundreds of layers. The final
result resembles a seashell, and
allows for a strong, transparent
material.
Chemical Engineering Prof.
Nicholas Kotov, Podsiadlo's advis-
er on the project, said he hopes the
application of the plastic steel will
be widely used.
"These composites can be
applied inbiomedical devices, bone
replacements for injuries, military
applications such as personal pro-
tection, microelectromechanical
devices and energy generation and
storage," Kotov said.
The creation has already gar-
nered interest from biomedical
companies as well as the military.
Podsiadlo acknowledged the
prize money was among the big-
gest draws for him.
"A few years ago, I saw that an
undergraduate student from my
department, Wei Gu, had woninan
undergraduate category," he said
in an e-mail interview. "I thought
that it was an incredible opportu-
nity for networking as well as the
prize money was quite generous.
I could always use it to pay for my
student loans."
Podsiadlo received his Ph.D.
in chemical engineering from the
University earlier in the year. He
also received his bachelor's degree
and master's degree from the Uni-
versity.
Podsiadlo spent more than three
years working on his award-win-
ning invention while he was a stu-
dent at the University. He is now
a postdoctoral fellow at Argonne
National Laboratory Center in
Chicago.
Two other University research-
ers, McNaughton, a postdoctoral
research fellow, and Kinnunen, a
graduate student, also flew to Kan-
sas City to present their invention:
a device capable of quickly detect-
ing the presence of bacteria.
McNaughton, who started his
work over four years ago, said the
idea first came to him in the lab
when he began his Ph.D. in applied
physics.
He was using a microscope to
monitor the rotation of tiny mag-
netic microspheres, which are
about 1/100 the width of human
hair, when he noticed an odd phe-
nomenon.
"The microspheres started to
rotate in a strange manner that
we had not observed before, and
it was then we realized that this
could be applied to the detection
of bacteria, as well as monitoring
their growth," McNaughton said.
Kinnunen said he joined the
team three years later.
"When Paivo joined, we really
started focusing on moving from
the microscope to a prototype,
which we can actually plug into
our computer." McNaughton said.
McNaughton said he hopes the
impacts of their creation will ulti-
mately help save lives. "Our goal is
to develop our technology to the
point that it can be implemented
in a hospital setting and have a
dramatic clinical impact. We want
to be able to determine the proper
antibiotics for patients with bacte-
rial infections in hours instead of
the current standard of days," he
said.
His advisor, University Prof.
Raoul Kopelman, a Richard Smal-
ley Distinguished University Pro-
fessor of Chemistry, agrees.
Kopelman wrote in an e-mail
that the project's main emphasis is
to develop a rapid method for find-
ing the right antibiotics for bacte-
rial infections.
"Finding quickly the right anti-
biotics for a patient will, first of all,
be good for the patient, but it will
also decrease the rate of devel-
opment of new strains of nasty
bacteria that are resistant to anti-
biotics," he wrote. "The latter is
possibly the worstuniversal health
threat for the coming years."

For Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Avoid arguments today. I mention this
simply because you'll identify very
strongly with your point of view today;
and if others disagree with you, you will
likely take it personally.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
You have definite, specific thoughts
about shared property, debt, inheri-
tances, taxes and anything elseyou share
with someone. (I'm sure others will
learn what you think.)
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
Avoid heated debates with partners
and close friends today. However, family
discussions can be enlightening and
refreshing! You're eager to make your
ideas known to others today.
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
You can get a lot done at work today
because you're extremely focused. You
know exactly what your objective is, and
you istend to achieve it.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Your creative powers are very strong
today. This is an excellent day for writ-
ers or any artistic output, especially
something done with your hands.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Family discussions are specific and
focused today. Be patient with parents.
Remember that conversation is a dance:
For someone to step forward, you have
to step backward, and vice versa.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You'll have no trouble expressing
yourself today. You easily see what you
mean and mean what you say! Oh yeah.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
You have strong opinions about finan-
cial matters today. You also might have
some great moneymaking ideas. I don't
have to tell you to speak up, because
that's exactly what you're going to do.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
Because you identify so strongly with
your opinions and your ideas today, you
might be too quick to take offense if oth-
ers disagree with you. Lighten up! Don't
take things personally.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
Your ability to do research is wonder-
ful today! If you're looking for answers
to questions, you'll find them. (You're
like a dog with a bone.)
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Discussions with groups and friends
will be lively today. You're definitely not
afraid to express your opinion. Just make
sure you leave some space for others to
speak as well.
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
You're unusually emphatic and
aggressive in your discussions with
bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today.
You obviously know your mind and
you're willing to speak it.
YOU BORN TODAY You're a sur-
vivor because you work hard for what
you want. You're careful and thorough,
and you do your homework. Many of
you work alone because you like an
organized approach to things. You have a
strong sense of justice and ethics. You
like to be busy; and you often take on big
projects. Exciting new beginnings this
year lead to a strong focus on partner-
ships next year.
