Traveling
Man-UM student Aaron Sosebee took the scenic route home
for the summer after spring-semester classes ended: He biked
2,473 miles in 32 days back to Huntsville, Ala. During his
epic trek he pedaled through a Montana cattle drive, fought
endless Kansas winds, fixed three flat tires, shed 20 pounds
and for company talked to his bike, which he nicknamed Huckleberry.
On the final day of his trip he logged nearly 140 miles.
Sosebee is a linguistics major, and a 1,000-page Chinese
novel accompanied him on the journey. After graduation he
wants to complete a two-year stint in the Peace Corps in
China and then teach English in Japan.

Student
Programming-Juniors in UM's Department of Radio-Television
produced two half-hour programs last semester that showcased
businesses unique to the Treasure State. "Business:
Made in Montana" aired in August on Montana PBS television
stations. Viewers visited businesses such as Montana Boworks
in Hamilton, which provides handmade longbows to archers
around the globe, and Paw Design in Bozeman, the country's
largest manufacturer of cat and dog toys. Six businesses
were showcased during each program. Students did all the
research, videotaping, interviewing, writing and editing
for the programs. UM journalism students have produced these
programs for the past nine years, profiling more than 70
Montana businesses.

Warhol
at UM-Readers wanted to know more about an Andy Warhol
print that appeared recently in a UM art show. The print,
from Warhol's famous "Cow Wallpaper" series, was
autographed by the artist and dedicated to UM President
George Dennison. The legendary pop artist signed the print
"To George Dennison, Andy." Warhol actually gave
two identical prints to Dennison, who hung one in his home
and donated the other to UM in 1991, when he became the
University's leader. Dennison received the prints in the
late 1970s at Colorado State University in Fort Collins,
where he was an associate dean and Warhol was a visiting
lecturer. Warhol presented several cow prints as gifts to
people who helped organize his visit to CSU. The Warhol
print, along with other gems, was displayed at UM's Montana
Museum of Art and Culture in an exhibition titled "Contemporary
Prints from the Permanent Collection: The 1970s."
