First and foremost it was the people. I really love the energy and engagement of the people here, both faculty and students. There is also an amazing amount of research thathappens here, across a lot of different departments and schools, yet despite the size of the University of Michigan, there is still a great sense of collaboration and community. This semester I am teachin a seminar entitled Neurobiol ogy of Learned Fear. The goa is to focus on one type of mem ory task - fear conditioning - and discuss how the research on this task has advanced ou understanding of learning an memory. How did you becom, interested in researchini learning and memory? Haw you been able to incorporat( any of your research result into your teaching? g research that was happening - at my undergraduate depart- .1 ment, particularly in my men- - tor's lab. I stayed interested - because learning is an expe- h rience we all have - we are x always learning. Memory is d fundamental to how we view ourselves, how we think of the past, how we behave in the e future, and how we feel. But g what we don't know is how e the brain stores memory, what e causes abnormal memories, s and how so we can remember so much. n -HALEY GLATTHORN t This interview was Students p e conducted via e-mail.

The industry also says porn viewers will not watch sex scenes with condoms, forcing adult film producers to relocate to where they can make movies that will sell. On Wednesday, the Free Speech Coalition, a trade group representing the adult entertain- ment industry, said it plans to file a lawsuit to overturn the condom requirement on constitutional grounds. "We believe in the calm, seri- ous deliberations of the legal sys- tem, we will find that Measure B is in fact unconstitutional," Diane Duke, the coalition's executive director, said in a statement."The adult film industry will not just stand by and let it destroy our business." In a letter sent to the county BoardofSupervisors,theindustry also requested that it be involved in discussions as to how the coun- ty will implement the require- ments. It will also explore moves to neighboring states as soon as possible, the coalition said. "While the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has tried to portray any move of jobs outside of L.A. County as unrealistic, the hard truth of the matter is that is exact- ly what this industry plans on doing now," said James Lee, com- munications director for the No on Government Waste Commit- tee, which opposed the measure. Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Founda- tion, said he is not fazed by threats of a lawsuit or of relocation. The issue is one of public health and safety for workers who run a high risk for sexually transmitted ill- nesses, he said. The industry argument did not convince voters, he said. "There was a very high degree of awareness about this proposi- tion," he said. "Voters were edu- cated about it." s6 JASON MINICK/AP Former Penn State University President Graham Spanier and his wife Sandra enter Harrisburg, Pa. District Judge William Wenner's office on Wednesday. Former Penn State president arraigned, no plea entere Spanier released on bail for charges related to cover-up of Sandusky scandal HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Former Penn State president Graham Spanier was arraigned and released on bail at a brief court appearance Wednesday on charges he lied about and con- cealed child sex abuse allega- tions involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Spanier, accompanied by his wife, signed paperwork after his bail was set at $125,000, but he was not required to post any of that amount. He was ordered to forfeit his passport and be finger- printed. He didn't enter a plea. Afterward, defense attorney Elizabeth Ainslie told reporters her client is "not guilty, abso- lutely" and disputed prosecu- tors' claims Spanier conspired with university athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz. She said Spanier, who testified before agrand jury in the matter, has not been given the opportunity to present his side of the story. "This wasn't a conspiracy of silence," she said, echoing the charge made last week by state Attorney General Linda Kelly. "That is ridiculous." Spanier, 64, was charged last week with perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of chil- dren, failure to properly report suspected abuse and conspir- acy for his actions in response to complaints about Sandusky showering with children. Spanier has claimed he is being framed for political purposes. He served as Penn State's president for 16 years but was forced out a year ago after San- dusky was charged along with Curley and Schultz, who were two of Spanier's top underlings. Spanier is on paid leave as a member of the faculty. Along with the charges against Spanier, prosecutors added counts against Curley and Schultz. They were arraigned Thursday. District judge Wil- liam Wenner told Spanier and his lawyers the Nov. 16 prelimi- nary hearing date would likely be delayed a month or two. Curley, the athletic director on leave until the final year of his contract expires, and Schul- tz, now retired, await trial early next year on charges of failure to report suspected abuse and per- jury. Like Spanier, they deny the allegations. On Monday, state prosecutors filed paperwork telling the judge in the earlier Curley and Schultz case they did not object to their request to delay the planned Jan. 7 start of that trial. The attorney general's office said it would seek to combine those charges, the new charges, and Spanier's case. The latest charges came almost exactly a year after details of the case against San- dusky sent a maelstrom through State College, toppling long- time head coach Joe Paterno and eventually leading to severe NCAA sanctions against the football team. Sandusky, 68, vigorously contested the charges but was convicted in June of 45 counts of abuse of boys, including vio- lent sexual attacks inside cam- pus facilities. He was sentenced last month to 30 to 60 years in prison. We
