Show Tuesday, January 9,2007 THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE SURVEY RATES CHARTWELLS U mourns distinguished chemistry professor U Inorganic-Chemist Robert W. Perry died Dec. i after suffering from a stroke on Thanksgiving. Known for his work with boron and phosphorus, Perry joined the U staff in 1969 as a distinguished professor. He continued to teach at the U until 1997 and then worked as a professor emeritus until his death. Perry was an active participant and leader in the American Chemical Society, coauthor of a high school chemistry textbook and teacher to thousands of students. continued from Page 1 worse. But it's food and it gets me up in the morning, so it's OK/' he said. "At least the cereal bar is always open." Student commentary—not ratings—is where Chartwells gets its "most valuable data," said Michael Paulus, district manager. However, he said the commentary Paulus received during the survey can seem skewed. "When you read through (the comments), you see that half the population says things are too spicy and the other half of the population (says) things aren't spicy enough," he said. His dedication to his research resulted in his receiving many awards, including the prestigious Priestley Medal, the highest honor granted by the American Chemical Society for lifetime achievement. • "Robert Perry was one of the people that brought this department to pre-eminence," said Peter Armentrout, a distinguished professor of chemistry. "It was his work that helped put Utah on the map in the field of chemistry." Natalie Hale U EVENTS CELEBRATE MLK "You've got a real hard measure with something that is so subjective to individual taste." So Paulus wants to assure students that there is enough variety. Chartwells runs a fivecycle menu at the Heritage Center, which means "students get something different every day," he said. But Chartwells isn't making big changes with the freshman population changing each year, he said. "There is no denying that students can eat off-campus and live off peanut butter for the rest of their academic career," Paulus said. "But again, it's apples and oranges, so we're trying to do the best to please most of the population." a.breton@chronicle.utah.edu continued from Page I Kristi Ryujin, senior vice president for academic affairs and coordinator of the panel, said, "These issues were chosen because they're very current, and if you open a paper today, these issues are everywhere." An example, she said, is the anti-LGBT legislation that was implemented in the last election. '"Pride Day posters are current local issues, and such actions are the reason that these discussions are so important," she said. The panel begins today at noon in the Union Ballroom. Other events taking place during the week will span from a keynote address by activist Angela Davis to a diabetes awareness forum. Angela Davis will speak about civil and human rights and experiences from her own life. She was once on the FBI's Most Wanted list during the 1970s on false accusations and was put on trial after being arrested, leading to one of the most renowned trials in recent history. Davis currently teaches at the University of California, Santa Cruz, after once being told she would never again teach in the California school system due to her activism. Davis will speak in the Union Ballroom on Wednesday at noon. The diabetes awareness health fair, sponsored by the Office for Diversity, aims to increase understanding about the disease. The health fair will take place during the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration week because it has been shown that people of color statistically have higher rates of the diabetes and other serious illnesses due to what some call disparities in health care. The health fair will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Northwest Multipurpose Center, located at 1300 W. 300 South. All events are free and open to the public. j.gray@ chronicle.utah.edu GROUP PROTESTS U ANIMAL RESEARCH continued from Page 1 terrent to her research, which Angelucci said may lead to a cure for blindness. While Angelucci said she respects the rights of the demonstrators, she thinks the activists' methods are extreme. "They are portraying themselves as a terrorist group," Angelucci said. While the dark masks and late night residential protests may seem radical, Beckham said his group has broken no laws and is justified in its approach. "I think (protesting at homes) sends a message that individuals are morally responsible for what they do at work," said Beckman, a junior history major. He said some members of the group, excluding himself, wear black at the protests to conceal their identity because they are either U employees or do not want to be sued in civil court. U researchers have also accused the group of making harassing phone calls. Beckham said he has not condoned any phone calls. The group objects to both the experimental procedures that are performed on primates and the 'environment-of the laboratories in which they live. Beckham said one such experiment involves drilling holes into a monkey's skull and then strapping it to a chair in front of a screen displaying light patterns LENNIE MAHLER/ The Daily Utah Chrunide Rob Hutton, U junior Jeremy Beckham, Colleen Field, and another demonstrator protest an animal researcher at the U who went on trial Monday for domestic abuse.

Angelucci said the way Beckham has portrayed the research is both exaggerated and inaccurate, but said she was under instruction not to discuss her research in detail with the press. "These guys know nothing about our research," she said.

The U's College of Pharmacy is ranked second among all National Institute of Health peer-reviewed pharmacy colleges and was ranked 14th nationally by U.S. News and World Report in 2006. These honors were credited by Lorris Betz Sr., vice president of health sciences at the U, to the support of the Skaggs family's donations. "The College of Pharmacy is the most remarkable collaborative environment," Betz said at the donations announcement in the College of Pharmacy on Monday. "It allows for creativity to flourish." n.hale@ chronicle.utah.edu MORGANTOWN, W. Va.—Despite the promises of a new year, Internet users can expect their e-mail inboxes to be infested with the same amount of spam messages, junk mail and bulk as in 2006, according to the industry-wide 2007 look-ahead presented by ad forecaster Robert Coen during the media conference hosted by UBS in December 2006. Although the conference discussed how "old-fashioned junk mail, which is actual advertisement mailed to people's homes, is still a major issue, new age junk mail sent to e-mail addresses is becoming an issue of its own. With TiVo and recording DVRs making it easy to fast forward through commercials, advertisers are being forced to come up with more ideas on how to reach their products to the public. Enter spam messages. Most e-mail providers such as Yahoo, MSN, AOL and other major providers offer separate folders and additional help on problems related to spam and bulk mail. But few can do much to stop the messages from appearing in the first place. "Users need to be careful as to who they are giving their e-mail addresses to, what they are signing up for and who their e-mail provider is to ensure a secure inbox with little or no (spam)," said Jon Martin, MSN telephone assistant who specializes in assisting people with their junk mail problems. Advertisers see e-mail users as potential consumers for their products by sending them messages telling them that they have won something. However, most users agree that the messages are quite a nuisance and do not alter their perception of the given product at all. "I get more junk mail than I do regular mail," said Yahoo user Shannon Richter; . .MAGIC: TIME SPIRAL . . GAMES WORKSHOP.. . . ROLE-PLAYING GAMES . . ONLINE COMPUTER GAMING.. 22, of Morgantown. "It is really annoying and it definitely does not make me want to buy those products, in fact most of the time I don't even read the messages," Whether messages are received, read or deleted immediately, most email providers offer a type of filtering device, such as a folder dedicated to junk, or a, frequent e-mail message such as "SPAM messages in hold queue" or "Bulk mail received," just in case the recipient may actually want to read and consider these products. However, eliminating the problem altogether is nearly impossible. "Even legitimate online sites can sell your e-mail address to an advertiser or sites like MySpace, where your email address is required at each 'log in\ makes it easy for advertisers to find them," Martin said. "The bottom line is' that this cannot be prevented in general, but by taking suggested precautions, one can reduce the amount of bulk received."
