Dr. Herman Saatkamp, Jr. George Santayana was a commentator on the 19th and early 20th centuries. says the University of Tampa’s Dana Professor of Philosophy Herman Saatkamp. Without question, Santayana is one of the great men of letters of our time. His works arc widely read and his influence is international.’' Dr. Saatkamp has gathered both published and un- published material written to. by. or about Santayana from collections at the universities of Columbia. Har- vard. Texas, Virginia, and Princeton; as well as from Santayana's publisher. Charles Scribner; hisexecutrix. Mrs. Daniel Cory; from private collections; and from his friends, relatives, and correspondents. He then in- terviewed the philosopher's relatives, in Boston and Spain, and researched notes on the philosopher left by such contemporaries and students as T.S. Eliot. Sid- ney Hook. Wallace Stevens, and Walter Uppman There is still a real sense of Santayana that can be grasped.” Dr. Saatkamp observes. During the next 15 or 20 years, the U.T. professor will supervise a mammoth editorial project which will be produced by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, spanning all of Santayana's works, published and unpublished, thereby opening up the field to re- searchers. Despite the massive project confronting him. Dr. Sactkamp continues to teach, has taken on the chair- manship of the U.T. Department of Humanities, and hopes to resume his manuscript on the philosophy of economics, which u as interrupted in the 1970s by the proposal for the Santayana Edition. In addition. Dr. Saatkamp hopes to begin proposals for the establishment of a center for Santayana schol- arship. . . . AMONG FACULTY Dr. Terry W. Snell With the help of a microscopic aquotlc animal and the University of Tampa's Associate Professor of Biology Terry Snell, Isrod’s economy may be in for some improvement — and along the way, an aban- doned stretch of the Negev Deseri may spring to life. Dr. Snell and his research partner, Esther Lubzens of the Isreal Oceanographical and Limnological Research Institute in Haifa, are wording on a research project that has the Potential to provide new agricultural ex- ports for Isreal. The two scientists are in the midst of a series of experiments to develop high-nutrition rotifers for use as a ink in the food chain of shrimp and fish aquaculture. Dn. Snell and Lubzens are two of the world's three experts on the genetics of rotifers. 150-celled cquatic organisms smaller than a pin’s tip. Rotifers feed on algae and are In turn food applies for larval shrimp and fish. A compact, bearded 34-year old whose reputation hes already spreod internationally, the biologist con- ducts experiments in marine aquaculture in U. T. ’s Sci- ence Laboratory 217 with his students The facility was renovated with a portion of his research funds and the physical labors of the professor and several of his seven undergraduate research assistants. I have stopped collecting rotifers, with one excep- tion: a remote region of Australia has a rare rotifer that I would really like to have. But it takes work to maintain them all, he To date. Dr Snell has concluded that dense rotifer populations tend to produce the resting eggs. His goal, and that of Ns associate, is to manpuicae the rotifers’ life cycle by changing environmental con- ditions. In this way they hope to produce large quanti- ties of dormant eggs, which could then be hatched by maricuiturists. Dr. Katheryn Van Spankeren Dr. Kathryn Van Spanckeren has recently been co- editing a collection of essays by Margaret Atwood, a Canadian poet and novelist. Dr. Van Spanckeren’s talents will soon be recognized in various parts of the globe, as she has agreed to publish an Introduction to American Litcrcturc for Southeast Asia. Hopefully this will be translated into many languages Publishing her dissertation on D H Lawrence com- pleted at Harvard, is Dr. Van Spanckeren s main ob- jective at the present. WHO'S WHO 23

WHO’S WHO. . . Dr. Isele has taught, concerted at the organ, and directed choral groups for years, but he admits that his first love is composing. I'm a composer who happens to teach, conduct, and perform. He smites then adds In a more serious vein, Composing is what 1 do con- sistently. I guess to conduct and play or sing my com- positions Is the ultimate means of self expression. His energies now are directed toward the November 1984 premiere of Taking it off! For composer Isele. that's enough of a challenge for now. Dr. Fred Punzo In Plant Hall's science laboratory 117, Associate Professor of Biology Fred Punzo makes a small incision through the cuticle of the large, wooley spider. He collects the hemolymph, or the blood. of the arach- nid with a micropipette. This is the beginning of a demanding research pro- cess that is helping to delennine the evolution of spi- ders. Through a scries of chemical separations tech- niques, he first isolates the carbohydrates in the blood, then the ripids, proteins, and free omino acids. Once this has been done, only the inorganic salts remain in the bottom of this test tube. I have been Interested in spiders because there is very little fcctual material on arachnids — arthropods with four pairs of legs. Most of the work has concen- trated on insects, Dr. Punzo notes. Dr Punzo has concentrated on Florida spiders and those from the desert Southwest, home of many more primitive sp’.ders on the evolutionary ladder. Trcp- door spiders and tarantulas from the Southwest and the wolf spiders of Florida are primitive. They are capa- ble of manufacturing silk, but rather than employ webs to catch their prey, they track it down. The elaborate web-spinning comes later in the evolutionary chain, the biology professor explains He aims to include as many students as possible in assisting and participating in his research. Dr. Punzo's research has led to a series of papers, three in 1983. which oppeared in Comparitive Bio- chemistry and Physiology. Dr. David C. Isele David Isele’s talent for composing comic opera first surfaced in 1981 when Opera Buffet. his musical spoof celebrating the delights of food, drink, premiered to overflowing Dome Thectre audiences during U.T. 's 50th anniversary year. Dr. Isele and co-composer Gwyneth Walker are working together for a second time to produce “Taking it Off! We considered do- ing asequelto Opera Buffet, using the same charac- ters. The two composers’ paths first crossed in 1977, but a collaboration between the two did not occur until 1979 when Dr. Isele happened to mention that he was interested in writing a comic opera, an idea which in- ticed Dr. Walker, too. Dr. Isele Is a relative newcomer on the comic opera scene, he is a nationally recognized composer of liturgi- cal music, much of it written for the church on the Notre Dame campus. His Notre Dame Mass. com posed in 1974 is published byG.LA. Publishing Com- pany in Chicago The Lamb of God from his Holy Cross Mass, remains his most popular work and is now published as a separate piece. Although he was composing at age six. It was not until he axis in graduate school majoring in organ, that Dr. Isele seriously considered turning to composition. Dr. J. Duane Locke Dr. Duarte Locke is the University's poet-in- residence Although nearly unknown here except toon elite group, he is highly regarded in European art cir- cles os the founder of the Immanentist school of poetry, the art of the superconscious. ‘7 started too late.. states Dr. Locke, pointing out most poets begin when they ore 18. he started at 40. Desp.te this late start. Dr. Locke has amassed an impressiue list of accomplishments, which include hav- ing over 600 poems and 11 books of poetry published as well os countless numbers of poetry awards. The poet’s life began on a farm in Georgio and while still a child he moved to Tampa. Here he attended the local schools and then U. T. where he intended to be on accountant. After U. T.. Dr. Locke attended U.F. where he earned his doctorate in literature. Dr. Locke first fried his hand at the art of poetry to help motivate a friend, who was having difficulty in disciplining himself to write. By the end of the first year. Dr. Locke had published30 poems: and his friend only 2. It
