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 FOOD } From Page 1A 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." the michigan daily CENTRAL CAMPUS BES Large 6+ Bedroom, 2 bath M St Great living room with fireplace!

Just make sure you leave some space for others to speak as well.
