at UMD and are free and open to the public. A reception will be held after
each talk.
On Monday, November 8 Stephen Schlesinger, director of the World
Policy Institute at the New School University in New York, will speak on
"The United Nations and the Future of Humanitarian Intervention," at noon
in Kirby Ballroom A. One of the most important developments of post Cold
War international politics has been the idea that the international
community should intervene in situations where mass violations of human
rights are taking place in, for example, Bosnia, Rwanda, Kosovo, and most
recently, East Timor. So far, the UN has taken a back seat, restricted to
providing blessings and guidelines or the forces of great and middle
powers when they intervene. Can and should the UN be doing more and can
and should the great and middle powers be doing less?
On Wednesday, November 10 at 7:30 p.m., Professor Peter Catterall
will give a lecture titled "Peace in Ireland?" in Kirby Ballroom B. One of
the great strengths of the "Good Friday" agreement negotiated last year
was that it addressed the most basic fears of the antagonists. The
Unionists were guaranteed that they would not be forced into a united
Ireland against the wishes of the majority in the North. The Nationalists
were assured that they would at last play a full part in the political
life of Northern Ireland guaranteed by the active involvement of the
Dublin government. The future of both sides seemed secure. Now things are
not so clear.
UNIVERSITY FOR SENIORS LECTURES
The University for Seniors offers free 45-minute lectures on Wednesday
afternoons.

"Gambling: Is it A Contagious Disease?" at 1:15 p.m. on November 10 in the

World War II, from 1-2 p.m on Wednesday, November 17 in the Bullpub. The
reading is free and open to all students, faculty and staff.
CAMPUS NEWS
NEWS FROM THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Former University of Minnesota Duluth Graduate Student Joe Z. Tsien
returned to UMD to present a seminar entitled "Genetic Enhancement of
Learning and Memory in Mice" in October. Tsien is currently an assistant
professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University and he recently
made national and international news when he announced that he had created
a smarter strain of mice by genetically altering a gene for memory and
intelligence.
SEA GRANT VIDEO
Boater education is one of the best ways to prevent the accidental spread
of exotic aquatic plants and animals. In an attempt to provide a dose
of
fun along with an educational message, the University of Minnesota Sea
Grant
Program and several federal, state and business partners from across the
nation have teamed up to produce a 10-minute clean boating video, designed
with owners of personal watercraft, motorboats and sailboats in mind.
The clean boating message is being delivered by John Ratzenberger
(a.k.a. Cliff Clavin of the television show, "Cheers").
"Mr. Ratzenberger agreed to do the video as a public service
because
he's an avid angler and sailboater who understands the importance of
this
issue," said Jensen. "We wanted to produce a video that was entertaining,
could be used in workshops to educate boaters and in other public venues
like environmental learning centers and even in recreational fishing
shops."
"I got a call awhile back from somebody in Minnesota who said
they
needed some help," said Ratzenberger. "So who else were they going to turn
to but yours truly? There's the Mounties, the FBI and me."
Ratzenberger learned about the problems exotic species pose by
working on the video project. "You've got power plants and water treatment
facilities and if those intakes or outputs get clogged up by the mussels
and whatnot, it will shut them down and then you've got millions of people
impacted by something that's no bigger than that," he said, holding up his
hand with his thumb and index finger slightly apart. "They can shut down a
city. It's not the big monsters like Godzilla that we have to watch out
for, it's the tiny ones."
Filming took place in September at two locations near Brainerd,
Minnesota. The video is being produced by ProVideo Productions, Inc. of
Duluth and is expected to be completed this winter.
Logistical support was provided by In-Fisherman, Inc. Project
partners are Sea Grant, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Coast
Guard, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and SeaLand
Technology, Inc.
