Alumni continued from page 1A replied that he’d received requests to sing “Hello Dolly.” Bancroft, who graduated in 1981, never seduced Dustin Hoffman on the big screen. But she was the first woman to reach the North Pole by dogsled, was named Ms. Magaziners “Woman of the Year” in 1987, and has spent her life leading polar expe ditions. Diagnosed with dyslexia as a child, Bancroft also taught special education and sports. She is currently on a quest to be the first woman to ski and sail across Antarctica. Carol Schuler, a staff worker for Bancroft Arnesan Expedition, said many people mistake Bancroft for Anne Bancroft, the actress. “The first time I heard about her I thought they were the same person,” Schuler said. “I was like, ‘Gee, for an old lady that’s pretty amazing... How does that work?”’ People have also mistaken John Frohnmayer for his older brother, University President Dave Frohn mayer. John Frohnmayer, who gradu ated from the law school in 1972, said newspapers inadvertently use his name when referring to the Universi ty president and vice versa. He said it happened when he was chairman for the National Endow ment for the Arts from 1989 to 1992, and the organization was criticized for displaying controversial art. The mistake also occurred during the Worker Rights Consortium debate. “We’ve been blamed for things the other one was involved in,” he said. “But sometimes it’s for good things. Occasionally someone will compli ment me for the good job I’m doing at the Uni versity of Oregon Other prominent names that are frequently overlooked include film director James Ivory, who garnered an Academy Award nomination for “Howard’s End.” Ivory graduated in 1951 with a fine arts major and now directs films in New York. He said his experiences at the University led to his success. “Something told me I was in the right school at the right time,” he said. Many University graduates also became well-known leaders. These include Jack Courtemanche, former deputy assistant to President Ronald Reagan, and Carol Hallett, who was the U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas in 1986 when much of the cocaine coming to the United States was be ing shipped through the Bahamas. “It was a very important time in history between the two countries,” she said. John Frohnmayer, who now works in Bozeman, Mont., as a trial lawyer, said he and his brother were especial ly close during their years at the Uni versity. The younger Frohnmayer said he never took a class from his older brother, although the president taught law at the time. He added that he still keeps up on University news and talks to the pres ident. “I’m very involved with the Uni versity,” he said. “But it’s not like I give Dave advice or anything ... he wouldn’t take it even if I did.” Environment continued from page 1A “If we’re in a world that looks like this, our politics are required to be more radical,” Carter said. Even if a society puts itself in this destructive cycle, Carter said peo ple can choose to stop polluting. But, he added, such action may not be successful because it is not easy for a country to get out of an envi ronmentally damaging cycle. The solution, Carter argued, is that a society should not become trapped in it in the first place. I I Lisa Blasch, a doctoral student in philosophy, said she shares Carter’s goals, but his presentation did not raise any new concerns for her. “I think he’s right about the cata strophic nature of the environmen tal condition,” she said. Nancy Tuana, head of the Univer sity philosophy department, said Carter’s presentation sparked an in teresting discussion from the audi ence, which is one goal the depart ment has for its presenters. “The most important part of his presentation was the links he estab lished between nature and poli tics,” she said. 1 I Scholarships Paul Albert Elementary Education Natasha Trivers Teaching of English Each year, Teachers College, Columbia University, awards over $6 million in scholarships, paid assistantships, internships and fellowships to TC students.
