FROM THE DEAN

Each fall arrives in Michigan with a beautiful burst of color to adorn our trees and an opportunity to greet the many eager, enthusiastic students that fill our hallways. This year we have a student body of over 770—one of our largest ever. The 140 incomingfreshmen (the class of 2005) brings our undergraduate number to740, and we have over thirty graduate-level students. We welcomeall of them to campus.

We also welcome several new faculty this year. Dr. Dan Ferrisjoined our Movement Science Program as an expert in neuromechani-cal control of locomotion. Tim Murphy joined our Athletic TrainingProgram in the new Clinical Education Coordinator position, and Dr.Rachael Seidler joined us as a Research Scientist who studies changesin the brain that signal the learning of new motor skills. Our facultyis excited about the year ahead and the opportunities to help our stu-dents learn and grow in their various areas of interest.

There is a new look in several areas of our building. We recently completed the renovation of threeexercise physiology laboratories and the creation of two new laboratories for biomechanics. In addition, weopened a new teaching laboratory this fall that will provide more opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience exploring concepts they learn about in the classroom. Our students and faculty are quicklysettling into their new spaces and are enjoying the expanded opportunities for working together on excitingnew research projects. You can read more about our exercise physiology laboratories in our feature articleon the Center for Exercise Research on page 2 in this issue of Movement.

Although at this time of year we focus much of our attention on our new students, Movement gives us a wonderful opportunity to shine the spotlight on our returning students, recent graduates, and distin-guished alumni. In this issue you will see photos of current students who attended last spring’s HonorsReception and recent graduates during Commencement 2001. We have feature stories about two alumni,one whose career has literally taken flight, and another who has given back to his alma mater in a most generous way. And we highlight an alumnus who couldn’t stay away from Michigan and came back toKinesiology as a faculty member after earning his Ph.D.

We are proud of all of you, the members of our Kinesiology family. We hope you’ll help us keep up with you, wherever you may be. If you have not done so recently, please take a moment to complete the information request form on page 17. Or you can also e-mail Cheryl Israel, editor of Movement(cisrael@umich.edu) directly. We would love to hear from you!

We hope you enjoy this issue of Movement and that you will come back to campus to visit us whenever you can.

With best wishes,

Beverly D. Ulrich, Dean

Center for Exercise Research (CXR)

2 Fall 2001

The Center for Exercise Research(CXR) is comprised of faculty

and students with a common researchinterest in the effects of exercise onhuman physiology and health. TheCenter combines resources from laboratories of three Kinesiology faculty members: Marvin Boluyt,Katarina Borer, and Jeffrey Horowitz.Research in these laboratories isdiverse, examining the role of exercisein different aspects of physiology(hormonal regulation, energy metabo-lism, and cardiac function) with various experimental approaches (whole-body, tissue, cellular, andmolecular). The Center facilitatesmultidisciplinary studies on the effectsof exercise on metabolic and cardio-vascular health. It provides a forumto disseminate information about theimpact of exercise on obesity, dia-betes, heart disease, aging, and relat-ed health issues to other researchers,clinicians, and the general public.The group holds monthly meetings todiscuss ongoing projects within the

Center. Current CXR research proj-ects include: the influence of the tim-ing of meals (before or after exercise)on hormonal responses and energymetabolism in postmenopausalwomen; the role of aldosterone inage-related impairment of heart func-tion; the effect of acute physical activ-ity on blood lipid profiles andcardiovascular health; identificationand understanding of molecules thatregulate the response of the heart toexercise; and the effects of trainingintensity on the hormonal and cardio-vascular health in postmenopausalwomen. Additionally, scientists fromother UM departments and other uni-versities are often invited to the CXRto present and discuss their exercise-related research.

Although the overall scope ofresearch within the three laboratoriesof the CXR is similar, the specificfocus of each laboratory director isdifferent. Moreover, their back-grounds are diverse, with undergrad-uate degrees in chemistry, biology,

biomedical engineering, and althoughnone of them started their academiccareers in exercise physiology, theywere all drawn to it because of theirpassion for exercise. They see theDivision of Kinesiology as the placeat the University of Michigan forexercise research, and they want CXR to be the place people go withtheir questions about the physiologi-cal responses to exercise.

FACULTY

Dr. Marvin Boluyt, a graduate ofGrand Valley State College, was aneighth grade science teacher atDundee Middle School. In 1980, hedecided to obtain a master’s degree inmovement science under Dr. TimothyWhite. When Boluyt returned toteaching, he found that he missed theintellectual stimulation of the univer-sity environment. Three years laterhe returned to Kinesiology for hisPh.D. and then spent seven years at

Center for Exercise Research (CXR)

Kinesiology’s Kinesiology’s

the National Institute on Aging, learn-ing as much as he could about molecu-lar biology and cardiology. Boluytjoined the Division as a research scien-tist in 1997 and became an assistant professor in 2000. He directs theLaboratory of Molecular Kinesiology.

Boluyt’s research focuses onmolecular mechanisms of heartgrowth, asking the question, “Howdoes exercise alterthe heart in waysthat are differentfrom the way dis-ease alters it?” Bothexercise and anynumber of diseasesmake the heartgrow. In the case of exercise, the heartenlarges in waysthat appear toalways be beneficial.Diseases, like highblood pressure,cause the heart togrow in ways thatare detrimental.Boluyt is intrigued by the molecularmechanisms thatregulate heart growth in response toexercise and disease stimuli. He stud-ies cultured heart cells and rodenthearts, using the techniques of molecu-lar biology. He verifies these findingsin relation to humans by studyingavailable tissue that has been surgicallyremoved from heart failure patientsand accident victims, in collaborationwith physicians at the UM MedicalCenter.

One of Boluyt’s research findingsis that exercise is a very potent stimu-lus to alter the structure and functionof the heart and it can reverse some ofthe damage caused by heart disease.As more is learned about the positiveimpact of exercise on the heart, even in the elderly, better interventions will

then be designed to reduce the damagedone by coronary disease. Since heartfailure is the leading hospital dischargediagnosis for Americans over the ageof sixty-five, Boluyt’s research has thepotential for making a significant dif-ference in treatment for this population.

Boluyt has submitted a grant tothe National Institutes of Health to use an emerging technology called pro-

teomics to discover new proteins thatare activated by exercise. The studywill compare hypertensive rats withrats with normal blood pressure and a subset of each will be exercised on atreadmill. It will look at what hyper-tension does negatively to the heartcompared with what exercise does pos-itively for the heart, and then try anddiscover new proteins that are prod-ucts of genes that are changed inresponse to exercise or hypertension.Boluyt is also collaborating withProfessor Phillip Andrews, in theDepartment of Biochemistry, who hasreceived funding as part of the newLife Sciences Initiative to measure proteins in the heart.

Dr. Katarina Borer studies the effectsof endurance exercise training on ani-mal growth and human growth hor-mone secretion, as well as on energyregulation and fat loss. She investi-gates the effects of exercise training ongrowth and energy regulation throughstudies of the roles of nutrition andhormones in these phenomena. Borerreceived a B.A. in biology and a Ph.D.

in zoology from theUniversity ofPennsylvania. She com-pleted a post-doc inmarine biology at theUniversity of Miami andthen came to UM for apost-doc in neurobiolo-gy/psychobiology. Borerdirects the ExerciseEndocrinologyLaboratory.

Borer’s originalresearch was conductedon golden hamsters,because they voluntarilyrun marathon distanceseach night. She aug-mented their regulardiets with sunflowerseeds, and discovered

they were gaining weight. However,this was not because they were eatingmore, but because they were growingmore. For hamsters, exercise removeda natural inhibition to growth thathappens as animals mature. In thecase of humans, as we age, the braininhibits the secretion of growth hor-mone, and our bones lose the capacityto grow. Hamsters and rats retain thecapacity to grow. Borer spent sixteenyears, supported by the NationalScience Foundation, investigating hownutrition and exercise interact withhormonal secretion in stimulatingwhole body growth in these animals.

Around 1995, Borer stoppeddoing animal research, and started toexamine the relationship between

nutrition, exercise, energy regulation,insulin sensitivity, and fat loss in post-menopausal women. Levels of humangrowth hormone decrease exponential-ly with age, so Borer wanted to findout at what levels of exercise intensitythere would be an impact on growthhormone secretion in older women.She also wanted to learn the impact of intensity of exercise on fat loss,because the human body uses differenttypes of fuel at different intensities.She designed her study with womenages 50-65, who walk three miles aday, five days a week, for fifteen weeksand thirty weeks at a mall. Assisted byKinesiology lecturer Jacqueline LaNew,Borer’s subjects are tested for heartrate and blood pressure variability,insulin sensitivity, and clotting factors.

Borer is in the process of analyz-ing the data from this study. Her pre-liminary findings indicate that in olderwomen growth hormone does notchange in walking, even at high inten-sities. However, it does appear thatexercise intensity has an impact oninsulin sensitivity, fat loss, and systolicblood pressure. One of her goals is forhealth practitioners to be able to “use

exercise like medication,” so that exer-cise plans can be tailored for an indi-vidual’s health profile. An upcomingstudy will examine the role of timingof meals and exercise on secretion ofhormones that regulate energy balance.

Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz completed hisundergraduate studies in biomedicalengineering at the University of Iowa.He always had an interest in exerciseand exercise physiology and decided to pursue graduate studies at theUniversity of Texas, where he receiveda master’s degree and Ph.D. He thenwent on to complete post-doctoraltraining at Washington University inSt. Louis, before joining the Divisionof Kinesiology as an assistant professorin 2000. Horowitz’s primary researchinterest is the regulation of fat and car-bohydrate metabolism. One of thequestions that his lab is pursuing ishow obese people differ metabolicallyfrom lean people and what effect exer-cise training has on their ability to usefat. Horowitz directs the SubstrateMetabolism Laboratory, where hestudies whole body, regional, lipid, and cellular glucose metabolism.

One of Horowitz’s currentresearch projects examines the effect of inactivity on triglyceride clearancefrom blood. Bloodtriglycerides are aknown risk factor forcardiovascular diseaseand research conductedon rats has demonstrat-ed that even short peri-ods of inactivity canimpact rates of triglyc-eride clearance. ForHorowitz’s study onhumans, participantswill enter the ClinicalResearch Center (at theUM Hospital) on twooccasions. On one visitthey will remain in bedfor twenty-four hours

and during another visit they will walkon a treadmill intermittently for tenhours (to mimic the activity level of anactive day). During these hospital vis-its, they will ingest a non-radioactivetracer that will be measured in bloodand in breath samples to help deter-mine the fate of ingested fat.Horowitz wants to learn which sce-nario, activity or inactivity, results inthe quickest removal of triglyceridesfrom the circulation. His hypothesis is that activity will help clear triglyc-erides, but he also wants to knowwhere they are going: are they beingoxidized (i.e., “burned”), taken up bytissues, or are they releasing their com-ponents into the circulation?

Other areas of interest forHorowitz’s lab include the availabilityof fat in the circulation and insulinsensitivity, comparing cellular genesand proteins involved in fuel metabo-lism between lean and obese people,and examining alterations in these cellular components in response toexercise training. Horowitz is also trying to think of better ways to tease out the ability to look at meta-bolic alterations that occur with aging, independently of changes in activity level.

CXR COLLABORATIONSDrs. Boluyt and Borer are collaborat-ing on a study in which they are meas-uring levels of aldosterone (a hormonethat functions in the regulation of sodi-um, chloride, and potassium) in theheart and the circulating blood duringand after exercise. Since aldosterone isproduced in the adrenal cortex and theheart, there is an interaction betweenthe two systems that has an impact onheart failure. Boluyt is also collabo-rating with Dr. Horowitz on a projectto study a gene that is a fat metabo-lism enzyme that allows heart cells to take up fats. Both Borer andHorowitz are interested in fuel useand whether fuel selection (carbohy-drate or fat) during exercise will alter the daily hormonal response.Potential changes in the daily hormon-al response could affect the brain,altering hunger and mood.

EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY CURRICULUM

Exercise physiology studies the body’sresponse to exercise and movement. Itintegrates muscle mechanics, anatomy,

endocrinology, microbiology, biochem-istry, nutrition, cardiology, and systemsphysiology. Exercise connects the fourKinesiology disciplines (sports manage-ment and communication, movementscience, athletic training, and physicaleducation) because of the impact ofexercise on health. All Kinesiologystudents take courses in the anatomicaland physiological bases of movement.For sports management and communi-cation majors, this provides them witha biological basis for the sport businessissues that relate to people involved inexercise and sport. Athletic trainingmajors work with athletes in the pre-vention and treatment of sport-relatedinjuries and study exercise and rehabili-tation. Physical education majors pre-pare for careers in K-12 teaching,therefore studying exercise is a keycomponent of their curriculum.Movement science majors take corecourses in exercise physiology, biome-chanics, and motor control, and canorganize their studies around each ofthese areas of knowledge.

One of the strengths of theDivision of Kinesiology is the opportunity for students to be activelyinvolved in research. Both undergrad-uate and graduate students work

closely with faculty on all of the cut-ting-edge research projects described.

THE FUTURE OF CXR

CXR received funding fromKinesiology and the University ofMichigan in the form of laboratoryrenovation and equipment. Additionalsupport for equipment and graduatestudents is needed, so that promising,collaborative, cross-disciplinaryresearch can continue. As DeanBeverly Ulrich notes, “Katarina,Marvin, and Jeff are working on diffi-cult research questions and uncoveringinformation that is of value to otherscientists and has applications that canlead to better health strategies. Thehealth of our nation is, and will con-tinue to be, a major societal concern. I am very proud of the way these andother faculty members in Kinesiologyare contributing to the efforts toimprove health by learning more aboutthe relationship between diet, exercise,and disease.”

CHIEF SCIENTIST

her research papers, and she used thefeedback to continuously improve herwriting skills.

Because of her enthusiasm for the space program, KC is often referredto as a “space station ambassador.”She becomes animated when she talksabout using modern science modules in the K-12 area. “Imagine usingvideos and oral presentations about the launches to increase interest in science,” she said.

She gave an energetic discussionabout the levels of gravitational force—designated as 1G for Earth, 1/3G forMars, and 1/6G for the Moon. Sheraised one foot on my office wall, and

“Originally we went to the moon to beat the Russians, and as soon

as Armstrong’s foot hit the dust wemet our goal. If we had gone with

the express interest of exploring the universe, then we would be

on Mars today.”

—Dr. Kathryn ClarkM.S. ’83, Ph.D. ’90

“No matter how you cut it, it's a long way to Mars,” said Dr. KathrynClark, better known as “KC,” Chief Scientist for NASA’s HumanExploration for the Development ofSpace (HEDS). This is just one exam-ple of the colorful, “down-to-earth”phrases KC uses to describe a pro-gram that is anything but grounded.She said that the space program isextending further to the point wherethey are talking the birth of a galaxy.

NASA recognized KC’s uniqueability to describe the space programto people at a variety of educationallevels, so Joe Rothenberg, AssociateAdministrator for the Office of SpaceExploration, asked how they could"keep her around" after her seniorscientist appointment ended. She gaveno more detail than to say, “Offer mea job.” And, in August 2000 theChief Scientist position was createdespecially for her. She now has thelofty goal of helping to educate theworld about the advantages of work-ing in space.

“Outreach and education” ishow KC describes a portion of herjob. “Outreach is when I introduce

myself to you, andeverything afterthat is education,”she said. Outreachseems too simplistica term in light ofthe fact that hertravels so far havetaken her to over11 countries andacross five conti-nents. Educationinvolves audiencesthat run the gamutfrom Congress inWashington D.C.,to scientists all overthe world, to fourthgraders in the class-room.

Dr. Clarkdirectly attributesher sophisticatedthinking and communication skills to her Kinesiology education. “TimWhite, my faculty advisor, taught mehow to think and work like a scientist,”she said. Tim mentored KC, coachedher to give formal lab presentations,and gave her teaching assignments. Shelearned to develop coherent presenta-tion materials, answer complex scientif-ic questions, and engage audiences ofscientists and students. “What is it I dofor a living? Exactly that,” she said.“My Kinesiology education allows meto be where I am today.”

Her Kinesiology education alsotaught KC how to write like a scientist.She received detailed feedback about

said, “If I push off this wall, the wallis kind of pushing back.” She project-ed herself off of the wall, held herhands up, and said, “If I do this, mybody could spin the other way. Whatstops me is the gravitational force.”

The lack of gravitational force inthe space station allows scientists tostudy factors affecting systems, suchas tissue culture. “Down-to-earth”tissue samples form flat, in twodimensions, and the experiments arecompromised because the tissues donot resemble those in the body. Inspace, much of the in vivo structuralintegrity is maintained, such as cell-cell interaction, or the shape of receptors.

Gravitational force is only oneof a myriad of issues in the space pro-gram, and KC said that it is a chal-lenge to educate people. “The public’sview of the space program is moreStar Trek than reality,” she said.Perhaps the view of a Star-Trek-likeenvironment comes from the fact thatthe areas of space exploration areentitled “enterprises,” much like thenow-famous starship of the Star Trek series.

The enterprises are: Biologicaland Physical Research, HumanExploration for the Development of Space (HEDS), Earth Science,Aeronautics, and Space Science. Theyexamine and experiment with com-plex issues such as solar flare, weatherpatterns, Earth’s mapping, rocket shipand airplane engine construction, theeffects of heat and light, and the com-bustion process.

Other space studies include the examination of muscle atrophy,changes in the nervous system, andchanges in the inner ear during aging,which is why John Glenn went up inspace again a few years ago. “Spacescience looks at the universe, and itgives us an understanding of our ori-gins,” said KC. Space science willalso tell us more and more about

our future as the scope of researchexpands.

The space station, although thesize of a gutted 747, is nevertheless alimited resource for experiments, andresearch collaboration provides greatscientific advantages. KC gave twoexamples: “The space station cen-trifuge was originally created for thelife sciences group. Participants at theannual Combustion Research groupmeeting asked me if it could be used

for combustion work and I said “Whynot?” Several scientists can use thesame image—one can look at materials,one at the spread of the flame, anotherat smoke and how smoke forms, andanother at soot and its contents. “Fourscientists are using one experiment, sothe space station just got four timeslarger,” she said.

Dr. Clark went on to explain thatbillions of dollars could be saved if theuse of the current combustion processcould be reduced by even one percent.“The combustion process is our greatestsource of energy and our greatestsource of pollution, and we are lookingat ways to obtain new sources of power,such as taking energy from the sun,”said KC. They are also looking at waysto reduce the large, cumbersome batterysize to the dimensions of a 9-volt bat-tery. “We can't change physics, but wecan change the way the battery works,”she said.

Another example of collaborationinvolved six countries that wanted toconduct an experiment with fish.“They all had their own fish tank, butwe didn't need six tanks for only one ortwo types of fish,” said KC. She askedscientists in Japan to build two types oftanks, and now scientists from all overthe world use them.

The development of policies andprocedures is another important aspectof KC’s position. She is in the processof writing an international educationplan for scientists eligible to use thespace station that will enhance collabo-ration. She developed a plan for stu-dent participation in the Kennedy SpaceCenter launches. Those are just twoexamples of the ways in which KC creates a collaborative atmosphere.

The Chief Scientist position wascreated especially for KC, and she meetsthe diverse and demanding requirementsof the job with great enthusiasm. Thatsame level of contagious enthusiasmextends into her personal life. She risesat 4:15 a.m. to exercise, takes longbicycle trips, and she has an endlessamount of energy that extends acrosstime zones. KC is a person who willcontinue to contribute to science andcommunicate her findings for a longtime to come—perhaps some day, literally, from a galaxy far, far away.

ALUMNI CONTRIBUTION

Alumnus Peter Kinyon, (’52, ’56), aUM physical education major, lastspring established a one-million dollarcharitable remainder trust for theDivision of Kinesiology—the largestgift in the history of the Division.

There is a story about Kinyon,who played left guard on the UMfootball team from 1949-1952. Inthose days, on the night before homefootball games, the teamslept in the clubhouse at the UM golf course.One morning, beforethe Michigan Stategame, the players recallwaking up at 4:30 a.m.wondering why analarm clock was ringing.Kinyon told his room-mate, Dick McWilliams,that he had to deliverthe Michigan Daily onhis newspaper route,and not even a homefootball game forced achange in that schedule.He was very familiarwith the responsibilitiesof news delivery, having delivered TheAnn Arbor News throughout elemen-tary and high school. His teammatesstill remember Kinyon’s early morningalarm before the game, and concurthat it demonstrates the core valuesthat guide this man: hard work, disci-pline, and loyalty.

Don Dufek, (’50) who worked inKinesiology’s Office of Developmentin the 1970s, was a classmate andteammate of Kinyon and remains aclose friend. He remembers him as “abright guy, a good student, and a hardworker. It fits that a guy that dedicat-ed and loyal would do something sogenerous.”

Kinyon was born in Jackson,

Michigan in 1929. His father diedwhen he was two years old, at whichtime his mother moved him and hisolder sister back to Ann Arbor, herhometown. They lived in variouslocations, ending up on NorthUniversity Avenue. He attended Ann Arbor High School (now the UM Frieze Building) where he playedfootball under coach Kip Taylor.

He entered UM in February1948, still living at home with hismother. Kinyon was an outstandingstudent who managed to balancestudying, playing football, and work-ing. Kinyon has fond memories ofseveral faculty members, includingElmer Mitchell, the chair of theDepartment of Men’s PhysicalEducation, Howard Leibee, NewtLoken, Rod Grambeau, and EarlRiskey. He enjoyed being a physicaleducation major and appreciated thequality of the education he received atMichigan.

Kinyon married Betty Jane (B.J.)Stewart (an education major) in 1951, while they were undergradu-

ates. They met in a speech class thatwas a required course for sopho-mores. Following graduation inFebruary 1952, Kinyon entered theArmy for two years. He was sta-tioned in Japan during the KoreanWar, where he worked in a counter-intelligence unit and played football.Upon his return to Ann Arbor, Kinyonstopped by the Athletic Department to

say hello to BennieOosterbaan, the headcoach of the footballteam. Oosterbaan offeredKinyon a job as an assis-tant coach, which he held from 1954-57.During this time, heearned a master’s degree in education.

When Kinyon decided to leave coaching,Jack Blott, the footballline coach at the time,introduced him to HenryAquinto, an industrialrelations manager at theFord plant in Wayne. Hehelped Kinyon land a job

at the Wayne assembly plant, workingin employee and labor relations.Kinyon’s core values of hard work,discipline, and loyalty that served himwell as a student, in the military, andas a football coach, transferred to thebusiness world. He spent a total oftwelve years with Ford, also workingat the Lincoln Mercury divisionaloffice and later at the central office.When asked the secret of his profes-sional success, Kinyon reflects on hisundergraduate days at UM, “As a stu-dent I worked hard and learned tomanage my time. The discipline,training, and teamwork I experiencedat the University of Michigan carriedover into my career.”

In 1968, Abbott Laboratories, a worldwide healthcare company,recruited Kinyon to direct theiremployee relations program. Based inthe Chicago area, Abbott manufacturespharmaceuticals, nutritionals, hospitalproducts, and diagnostic equipment.He moved his family (his daughterSarah was born in 1953) toLibertyville, Illinois and worked forAbbott for eighteen years. Kinyonworked in the area of employee relations, and it was his job to see thatemployees were treated fairly and inaccordance with the company’s person-nel policies. Kinyon also created recre-ation programs for employees, usingthe skills he learned as a physical education major at UM.

Kinyon took advantage of thestock options that Abbott offered,which allowed him to retire in 1985 atthe age of fifty-five. He had suffered aheart attack the year before and hadbypass surgery. He says he has been“healthy as a horse ever since,” whichhe attributes to regular exercise.Kinyon walks three miles a day, takinga different route every morning.

B.J. Kinyon was a kindergartenteacher, and she continued to work for three years after Pete’s retirement.The Kinyons moved to Rolla, Missouriin 1988, a place they had visited andthen selected for their retirement home.He is so busy now that he quips, “Idon’t know how I ever found time towork!” Besides walking daily, he isinvolved with his Episcopal church.He served as senior warden of thevestry and is currently chairman of thelay ministers. Instead of deliveringnewspapers, Kinyon now delivers forMeals on Wheels and is very active inthe local Lions Club. He is involvedwith the collection and recycling ofeyeglasses for developing countries; infact his club collects over 3,000 pairsof eyeglasses a year. He is so devotedto the Lions Club that he did not joinhis wife on a recent trip to NovaScottia because it conflicted with theannual Fourth of July carnival andfundraiser.

Learning in retirement is veryimportant to the Kinyons, who havebeen to fifty-five elder hostels all overthe world. (Pete notes that he hasbeen on one more than his wife.) Hedescribes it as “being bitten by thebug.” They have traveled to Australia,New Zealand, Spain, the CanaryIslands, England, Italy, France, andScandinavia.

Pete and B.J. Kinyon visit theAnn Arbor area three or four times ayear, as their daughter and grandchil-dren live in Ypsilanti. He also attendsfootball reunions, held every five years.In June, they met with Dean Ulrichand went on a walking tour of thebuilding with Director of DevelopmentJeff Freshcorn. The Kinyons wereamazed at the changes that have takenplace in Kinesiology since their studentdays in the 1950s. They visited thenew labs and met with faculty, whodescribed their research projects. Oneof them, Professor Katarina Borer, onlearning of Pete’s daily walking regi-men, joked that if he was a woman, he could be a subject in one of herresearch studies on exercise (see feature article, p. 4). As a formerschoolteacher, B.J. was impressed with the gait lab and the researchbeing conducted on children withDown syndrome.

According to Ulrich, “When Imet Pete and B.J., it quickly becameapparent that they are shining exam-

ples of the qualities we value atMichigan. They have maintained alifelong love of learning, a strong com-mitment to family and friends, and adesire to give back to the community.As we move into the next Campaignfor Michigan, we are indeed fortunatethat Pete and B.J. have chosen to leadby example with their very generousgift to Kinesiology.”

Kinyon made the gift in his charac-teristic, low-key manner, doing it becauseit was simply the right thing to do. Ashe says, “Any success you have in lifegoes back to the basic fundamental edu-cation you received. If you are able togive a charitable contribution, the uni-versity you graduate from is the firstplace you should support. I want toencourage people to think of Kinesiologyat the University of Michigan—that’swhere it started for me.”

for me.”

A charitable remainder trust is an easy way for an individual tosupport Kinesiology, as well asthemselves or their family. Thetrust can be established eitherinside or outside the University of Michigan, with Kinesiology as the beneficiary. It providesincome for the individual duringtheir lifetime and provides amajor gift ($100,000 or more) for Kinesiology. For individualswho cannot make a major cashgift upfront to Kinesiology, this is a very viable option. As Jeff Freshcorn, Director ofDevelopment, notes, “Mr. Kinyonhas clearly used the benefits of acharitable remainder trust to itsutmost.” For more informationabout charitable remainder trusts,and other options for gift giving,contact Jeff Freshcorn at (734) 615-4272 or email him at freshco@umich.edu.

Undesignated giving is one of the most important ways you can support Kinesiology. This type of Annual Fund supportallows the Dean to use funds where they are needed most. Kinesiology knows how to stretch a dollar, but costs for

higher education continue to rise. The support of alumni and friends is vital to our growth. Because of your generouscontributions we are able to continue offering the education and facilities our students need to be the “leaders and thebest.” We ask that you consider giving a gift to Kinesiology before the end of 2001. Please use the form below. You may also contact Jeff Freshcorn at (734) 615-4272 or by email at freshco@umich.edu for information about other giving opportunities.

SUPPORTING KINESIOLOGY

TO OUR ALUMNIAND OTHERFRIENDS…

Thank you for your financial support.We are pleased to report that our2000-2001 total financial supportincreased to $314,733, a 39%increase from last year. This marksour second consecutive year for anincrease.

Your contributions are impor-tant to Kinesiology, the second small-est unit on campus. Tuition feesrepresent only a part of the fundingwe need in order to attract the samehigh quality of students we have hadin the past. With your funding sup-port, we can continue to attract suchstudents in the future. Without pri-vate support several areas would go

unfunded—research, technology,scholarships and other types of studentsupport—the list goes on and on. Asyour generous giving has increased, sohas the ability of Kinesiology to fundefforts in these areas. This growth has“raised the bar” for faculty, staff, andthe students’ level of performance. We are all working harder and push-ing farther than ever before. But wecontinue to need your help.

The University of MichiganDivision of Kinesiology has 3,900 living alumni, and approximately 11% of those alumni choose to sup-port Kinesiology with a gift. This isthe lowest percentage of alumni givingon campus. Our goal this year is toincrease alumni support by 5%. Pleaseconsider helping us to achieve thatgoal. Any size gift assists Kinesiology.

Our alumni outreach and stew-ardship is increasing, as it should.We continue our promise to be goodstewards of your generosity. We aregrowing stronger each year, and ourgrowth is evident when we considerthat President Bollinger has statedthat his goal is for Kinesiology to be“the leaders and the best” in its fieldsof study and research. That is ourgoal, too. The students, faculty, andstaff are on this path, and we nowask you to join us on this journey.

As you make your charitablegiving plans for 2001-2002, we hopethat you will consider Kinesiology.

If you would like to know moreabout your giving options, contactJeff Freshcorn at (734) 615-4272 ore-mail Jeff at freshco@umich.edu.

Laurie E. Campbell, born inDuxbury and a resident of Dennis,Massachusetts for many years, diedat age 106 on March 24th, 2001,having lived a life that spannedthree centuries. She graduated from the Sargent School of Physical Education (Sargent College of Health & RehabilitationSciences at Boston University) in Cambridge, Massachusetts in1915. Following graduation, shetaught at Oregon State Collegethen served as one of the firstphysical therapists in the US Armyduring World War I. She was sta-tioned in New Jersey, Long Island,and Maryland during the war. Shereturned to Sargent in 1920 to teachphysical education for three years.In 1924, she embarked on a cross-country trip in two Model Ts withfive fellow Sargent alumnae and a dognamed Hobo at a time when pavedroads stopped at Albany and roadsigns were scarce. Tires were made ofcanvas and had to be replaced as oftenas three times a day. At one point,being so exasperated, they tied theirrubber sneakers to the rim to use astire treads. They did reach the WestCoast, where Dr. Campbell stayed toteach physical education in California.

In 1925, Dr. Campbell joined thefaculty of the Department of PhysicalEducation for Women at the Universityof Michigan. While here, she earnedher Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees inPhysical Education and proceeded toobtain her Doctorate in Education atNew York University. Subsequently,she was awarded a full professorshipat the University of Michigan. Herspecial interest was the teacher educa-tion program, which she headed formost of her years at Michigan. In the

1950s, significant change was made inthis program for elementary children—the introduction of the English system of basic movement, whichemphasized good body control, physical stamina and creativity.

She was chairman of women’sathletics in the American Associationof Health, Physical Education, andRecreation and president of theMichigan Physical EducationAssociation, receiving honor awardsfrom both organizations. She wasjoint author of Physical Educationfor High School Girls. On Dr.Campbell’s 100th birthday, the

University of Michigan’s Division ofKinesiology established the LaurieCampbell Award, given annually to anoutstanding woman majoring in physi-cal education.

In 1959, after 31 years at theUniversity of Michigan, Dr. Campbellretired to Dennis, Massachusetts.

She leaves her nieces andnephews: Jean Campbell, Stoughton,MA; Mary Elizabeth Campbell,Braintree, MA; Raymond FosterCampbell, Cheshire, CT; Dorothy C.Geddes, Stoughton, MA; Penelope N.McCreery, (deceased); CampbellMcNeill, Ormand Beach, FL; Polly N.Merrill, Dataw, SC and Falmouth,MA; Ray Newhall, Derry, NH; herlong-time friend, Fritzie Gareis,Dennis, MA; and several generationsof great (and great-great) nieces andnephews.

STUDENT NEWS

Commencement 2001 was a special occasion. The weather was perfect, the students were enthusiastic, and the speaker was outstanding. Kenneth S. Burnley, chief executive officer of the Detroit Public Schools and a Kinesiology alumnus, presented a thoughtful address on the theme of “Do it Well!” He challenged the graduates by asking the questions: “Will you follow?” “Will you lead?” or “Will you be a trailblazer?”

Burnley recalled his graduation, 37 years earlier, and acknowledged it is not the speaker who makes the dif-ference, but what the graduates decide to make of their lives. He recommended that they take care of the fourcore areas of the self: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Burnley talked of his own life and how he man-ages to carve out time for exercise, prayer, and learning.

No matter what your generation,your days at Michigan helped makeyou who you are today.

Now you can give something back tothe college that gave you so much —and give yourself a little somethingtoo — with the University ofMichigan’s new Charitable GiftAnnuity Program.

A Gift AnnuityProvides You With:✦ An immediate income tax deduc-

tion and capital gains tax savings;

✦ A lifetime stream of fixed income;

✦ Annuity rate yields that may behigher than many investmentreturns; and

✦ The means of making a future significant gift to Michigan for adesignated school, unit, or otherpurpose.

How Does it Work? Here’s an example. A gift of $30,000from a 75-year old donor nets animmediate current-year taxdeduction of $13,340, plus a guaranteed lifetime annual income of $2,460. (Minimum agerequirement of 50, and minimum gift amount of $10,000.)
