The Council of Dee Fellows, an elected group of U faculty, distribute income from the Thomas D. Dee Endowment annually in the form of grants to deserving applicants from the Us College of Humanities and College of Fine Arts. The Thomas D. Dee Endowment was established 11 years ago to provide funding for the improvement of teaching in the two colleges. The applicants' proposals were judged by the degree to which they might have significant impact on departmental or college curricula, promote innovative interdisciplinary educational programs or direcdy benefit students. The cost of the projects funded for the 1997-9- 8 year range from $600 to $6,000. Patricia Hanna, dean of the College of Humanities, said, "The faculty selected for these grants represents what makes an education at the University of Utah the best value in the state."

When transcription factors become chimeric in the bone marrow, it has the potential to cause leukemia. "While this focus on specificity and the activity of genes, transcription factors and chromosomes may seem hopelessly removed from the real world of 1 process allows for the vast production of many kinds of antibodies. Problems also occur when there is a bad match, according to Graves. A chimeric transcription factor loses specificity and turns on the wrong genes. Because DNA rearrangements those affected by cancer, it is becoming clear that only through this kind of research will any progress be made in understanding cancer," Graves said. "Once there is understanding, then there can be treatment and cures." She and other basic scientists hope their study of specificity of gene regulation will provide keys to the complex world of cancer that has been locked for so long. 21-2- 4.
