"This is a very prestigious recognition," said UW Oshkosh astronomy
Professor Michael Briley.
The other three research positions were awarded to students from
Yale University, Towson University and Bates College.
The CTIO is the United States national center for astronomy in the Southern hemisphere. It is located about 311 miles north of Santiago and 44 miles east of La Serena, at an altitude of 7,218 feet. It is operated by the Association for Research in Astronomy under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The 10-week undergraduate student research position is funded by the NSF.
The student research position includes a monthly stipend and expenses. The physics students nationwide who applied were evaluated on grades and research experience.
A junior at UW Oshkosh, Buss said that in addition to the research experience the position will provide him a chance to brush up on his Spanish. Buss' interest in astronomy began 12 years ago when he started memorizing constellations with friends in elementary school.
Buss also has been working with Briley on a globular star structure
project. The star located
17,000 light years away has abnormal amounts of carbon on its surface.
They have been able to show that this carbon actually came from a nearby
companion star, "which ejected its outer layers during the last moments
of its life," Briley said.
Briley and Buss will present the results of their work at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, Tex., in January -- just before Buss departs on his 10-week research position in Chile.
"Jeremy's done a great job on this project," Briley said. "There aren't many undergraduates out there with this sort of research experience under their belts."
Briley and Buss also have taken two observing runs to the McDonald Observatory in Ft. David, Tex., for another project they will resume after Buss returns from Chile.
In Chile, Buss will work in close collaboration with members of the CTIO scientific and technical staff. The program will include a series of seminars by observatory staff to introduce students to the basics of modern observational astronomy and observational techniques. Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory has seven telescopes.

The event in Room 202 of Reeve Memorial Union, 748 Algoma Blvd., will include games, foods, music and other activities organized by the student volunteers and the young people they serve.
Youth and others from several Oshkosh School District elementary and middle schools, the Boys and Girls Club, ADVOCAP and the Christine Ann Center domestic abuse shelter of Oshkosh will attend.
"It's extremely important that future teachers participate in this type of after-school activity in the community," said Donald Hones of the UW Oshkosh College of Education and Human Services. "It's a way for them to work with many diverse groups and find out what the community is really like."
At least 125 people are expected at the event. The student volunteers are from the Individual School and Society courses taught by Hones and others at UW Oshkosh.
"It will give our students a chance to get a sense of what everyone else is doing," Hones said. "And it's going to be fun. I think it's good for the university to be a place where the community feels welcome."
The college's Human Relations Committee, chaired by Alfred Kisubi,
is sponsoring
the event.
UW Oshkosh teacher education students volunteer in a variety of local and area programs, including Project SAIL (Students Advanced in Learning) and Project After Hours of the Oshkosh School District.

After she heard Andes music performed by the Peruvian band Inca Sons in 1995, Chen-Keller “felt so awakened to the spiritual message in the music that I was determined to get involved in American Indian spirituality.”
An instructor in the UW Oshkosh communication department, Chen-Keller has participated in the sweat lodge in several reservations, including Tuscarora, N.Y., and the Oneida and Lac Courte Oreilles in Wisconsin.
She has talked to American Indians and heard stories of people who experienced the healing and spiritual enlightenment in the sweat lodge. She said she has also experienced the healing herself.
Chen-Keller presented her latest paper on the sweat lodge -- “The Symbols of the Native American Sweat Lodge” -- at the 84th annual convention of the National Communication Association recently in New York City. The paper was part of a program on the sweat lodge ceremonies she presented Nov. 23.
Last year she presented “Sweat Lodge: Real Communication and Spiritual
Rebirth” at the
NCA convention. It documented firsthand accounts of participants’ healing
and spiritual enlightenment in the lodge.
While some believe spirituality and communication are unrelated, Chen-Keller said, “there is definitely subtle communication going on in the sweat lodge ceremony when participants feel inspired by the spirits and express their feelings of gratitude toward the Creator and everything on earth.”
The purpose of a sweat lodge ceremony is purification, Chen-Keller said. Participants sit in a dark, canvas-covered dome-shaped lodge. Hot rocks are brought in from an outside fire pit and placed in a hole in the center. The lodge leader pours water on the rocks to create heat to purify the body, mind and spirit. During the ceremony people pray, chant, drum and share life stories, “and especially give thanks to all things in their lives,” Chen-Keller said.
Her research, she said, suggests “that we could bring the teachings from the sweat lodge ceremony to our life and practice spirituality with real communication: heart-to-heart interactions with others.”
The symbols of the sweat lodge ceremony are the lodge, rocks, sky, earth and water. Chen-Keller said American Indians believe the lodge represents the Mother’s womb, the rocks the ancestors, the sky the Father and the earth the Mother to all living beings on this earth, and the water the life-giver. They are all connected to the Creator of the universe.
It was in Tuscarora, N.Y. that she first experienced her first American Indian sweat lodge ceremony. As a Buddhist, she said she believed strongly in what her personal experience told her. Her first sweat lodge experience was so powerful, she said, that she returned again and again.
“During the ceremony the focus turns within,” said Chen-Keller, “and you lose track of time. Prayers are personal and totally from the heart.”
Chen-Keller believes that if people became more aware of their spirituality, they would be more loving toward people around them. Their love would improve their communication with others, which in turn would facilitate open and more meaningful relationships.”
“Maybe from the study of the past -- including tribal rituals
-- we can rediscover the soul of
human communication,” said Chen-Keller.
Chen-Keller came to the United States when she was 25, received her master’s degree from the University of Alabama and earned her doctorate in communication from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Other UW Oshkosh professors presented programs at the communication convention. They include: Lori Carrell, “Lessons Learned: Student Communication in the Classroom”; Kay Neal, “Cognitive Test of Sophomore Exit Level Competencies” and “Instruments for Assessing Oral Communication”; and Gregory Olson, “Words on Behalf of War: Rhetorical Factors in Deliberations About Military Courses of Action.”
Others include Tony Palmeri, “Experience, Collaboration, Innovation: Alternative Approaches to Teaching Leadership” and “Burke on Clinton: Modern or Postmodern”; Milda Steinbrecher, Clay Wilmington and Neal, “Instruments for Assessing Oral Communication”; and Gina Wesley, who directed the meeting of planners of the 1999 convention of the National Communication Association.

Grzyb, whose collection of 3,000 Christmas music CDs gives him plenty of selections to choose from, will play the music for about 40 hours through Dec. 24.
For the first time his programs will extend beyond 6 p.m. The programs on Dec. 21 and 22 will be interrupted for live UW Oshkosh Titan basketball game broadcasts.
Grzyb's Christmas music marathons have attracted attention beyond the narrow listening range of the campus radio station. In 1998 he was named a national judge for the Association for Independent Music's "Indie" awards. The AFIM represent hundreds of smaller music labels, and Grzyb said the "Indie" is the equivalent of the Grammy for these dedicated music providers.
Grzyb's programs will emphasize newer releases to provide listeners with a "consumer guide" to the best recent Christmas recordings. Grzyb also said he will be making a more determined effort to give away his towering pile of extra Christmas CDs throughout his broadcasts.
The broadcasts will be from 1 to 6 p.m. Dec. 19 and 20 and from
1 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 21-24.
Grzyb said his tentative program schedule is:
· Saturday, Dec. 19, and Sunday, Dec. 20, rock, pop, reggae,
blues, country,
contemporary Christian and gospel.
· Monday, Dec. 21 and Tuesday, Dec. 22, jazz, world, a cappella vocal, Celtic; with a special tribute to Frank Sinatra on Dec. 22.
· Wednesday, Dec. 23, and Thursday, Dec. 24, choral, classical, acoustic instruments (including piano), with special segments devoted to French-Canadian music on Dec. 23 and to Oshkosh high school singing, both "yesterday and today," on Dec. 24.
Grzyb is assembling an e-mail mailing list of his programs, new Christmas recordings, concerts and advice on shopping for Christmas recordings. You can contact him at grzyb@uwosh.edu to be added to the list.

"I'll be providing an overview of my research with both animals and humans suggesting that music exposure can enhance certain spatial abilities, with special emphasis given to my ongoing research with Head Start children," Rauscher said.
The honor follows several years of research by Rauscher that has attracted attention worldwide.
In her Head Start project, preschoolers in the UW Oshkosh Head Start program are in their second year of receiving keyboard music lessons. Eventually they will be tested to see how they compare in school with Head Start children and other children who are receiving computer training or no training at all.
Rauscher has played a key role in several high-profile national studies showing a dramatic link between music training and enhanced abstract reasoning skills in children.
The latest research, published in the July issue of Neurological Research, found that the spatial-temporal performance of rats exposed to complex music surpassed that of rats exposed to minimalist music, white noise or silence. In an article published in the February 1997 Neurological Research, Rauscher and others reported that after a two-year experiment with preschoolers that piano instruction dramatically enhanced the abstract reasoning skills necessary for learning math and science.

Moore, who first gained fame as producer and director of the 1989 landmark documentary Roger and Me, will speak at 8 p.m. in Albee Hall, 776 Algoma Blvd. The talk, Downsize This!, has originally been scheduled Feb. 24.
The UW Oshkosh Speakers Series sponsors the event. It is free and open to the public.
In Roger and Me, Moore tried to convince General Motors Chairman Roger Smith to visit Flint, Mich., and witness the devastation brought by the company's plant closings. He went on to produce and host TV Nation, a satirical newsmagazine.
Moore's UW Oshkosh talk was rescheduled because he is in England publicizing his newest television venture slated for a debut there in early 1999. A spokesman said the show will come later to the United States.
Moore's book Downsize This: Random Threats from an Unarmed American has become a national best seller.
