LLU board member honored by General Conference department of education
 |
| Tom Zapara, a member of the LLU Board of Trustees since 1981, and his wife, Vi, were honored by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists for their support of Adventist education, during the full session of the LLU Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, February 11. Shown, from left, are Humberto Rasi, PhD, director of the General Conference department of education and board member since 1990; B. Lyn Behrens, MBBS, president of Loma Linda University; Vi Zapara; Tom Zapara; Calvin B. Rock, DMin, PhD, chair, LLU Board of Trustees; and Alfred C. McClure, vice chair of the LLU Board of Trustees. |
Dr. Rasi read the following tribute about the Zaparas:
"For many years, Tom and Vi Zapara have provided visionary leadership, time, and substantial contributions to support Seventh-day Adventist education in North America and abroad.
"The Zaparas are both alumni of La Sierra University. Tom began his professional career in sales for a pharmaceutical company, while Violet taught in the Adventist school system. In 1952, they formed their company, Zee Medical Products, which specialized in first-aid products.
"Thirty years later the company was sold, and ever since the Zaparas have been making sizeable gifts to the advancement of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, especially in the field of education. Subsequently, the Zaparas started Life Support Products, Inc., and developed it into an international operation.
"In addition to his business activities, Tom Zapara finds time for numerous philanthropic and community activities, including membership in the Board of Trustees of Loma Linda University and in Adventist-Layman Services and Industries. The Zaparas have been the main contributors in the establishment of the HART Research Institute that develops resources and materials in support of Seventh-day Adventist missions.
"In the field of education, the Zaparas were the prime movers behind the BECA Program--Business Executives Challenge to Alumni. Their initial contribution of $400,000 helped to inspire additional gifts to bring the fund to more than $5 million. When the BECA Program was launched, only 6 percent of the alumni of Adventist colleges and universities contributed to their alma mater; nine years later the percentage of alumni involvement had grown more than four-fold, to 25 percent. Due to this initiative, Adventist colleges and universities in North America receive annually more than $25 million in philanthropic gifts.
"Encouraged by the response, Tom and Vi extended the BECA program to colleges and universities overseas, thus benefitting Adventist higher education in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
"In 1986, the Zaparas spearheaded a new project designed to involve alumni of Adventist academies in philanthropic support of their schools. Before the Academy Alumni Advancement Program began, less than $20,000 were received in annual contributions from alumni and friends. But now, thanks to this innovative program and the Zaparas' challenge grant, academies raise more than $8 million annually.
"And there's even more to the vision of the Zaparas for Christian education. During 1987-1996 Tom and Violet contributed in excess of $1 million to fund the Zapara Teaching Award program. This amount, supplemented by church entities, was used to honor and encourage teachers who have shown a commitment to excellence in Adventist education.
"In recent years, the Zaparas have contributed more than $1 million to strengthen and expand the educational services offered by La Sierra University, Loma Linda University, and Pacific Union College.
"They have been particularly interested in supporting the pioneering efforts of Loma Linda University in providing state-of-the-art, interactive distance learning educational programs.
"Several philanthropic and educational organizations have recognized the Zaparas for their generous support. In 1981 Loma Linda University conferred on Tom the Distinguished Humanitarian Award.
"Tom is a visionary salesman--a master in the art of leveraging personal contributions into major philanthropic endeavors that benefit thousands of young people and adults both within and outside Adventist circles.
"So today, on behalf of more than one million Adventist students, educators, and church leaders from around the world, who have been blessed by the vision, commitment, and generosity of Tom and Vi Zapara, we are honored to present them the Global Award in Adventist Education."

Montgomery Street Foundation
awards $200,000 to University
The Montgomery Street Foundation, headquartered in San Francisco, awarded two grants of $100,000 each for research at Loma Linda University, according to Albin Grohar, PhD, executive director of the Loma Linda University office of advancement.
One grant will support a study coordinated by James M. Slater, MD, chair of the department of radiation medicine, School of Medicine, titled "Stage-specific Outcomes of Alternative Treatments of Prostate Cancer."
The second grant will help to fund research by Marino DeLeón, PhD, associate professor of physiology and pharmacology, School of Medicine, titled "A Molecular Engineering Approach to Regenerate Damaged Nerve Axons Following Spinal Cord Injury."
Dr. Slater and his research team hope to lessen the uncertainty surrounding treatment options at various stages of prostate cancer.
"Currently, prostate cancer is treated variously by expectant management, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and surgery," says Dr. Slater.
"While ad hoc guidelines have been loosely adopted to aid in treatment choice," Dr. Slater explains, "the risks of each choice are so varied that the treatment preferences of poorly informed patients are often followed."
He continues, "A consensus regarding the most effective treatment modality for a given disease stage has not emerged."
"This proposed study is an attempt to lessen such uncertainty," Dr. Slater maintains, "by developing a model that reveals treatment-specific efficacy for each severity stage."
Dr. DeLeón's research has centered on studying the processes of regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and applying that knowledge to encouraging regeneration in nerve cells of the central nervous system.
"The spinal cord is a vital pathway for the two-way communication of information between the brain and the rest of the body," Dr. DeLeón elaborates. "However, it is a thin and fragile mixture of nerve cells (neurons) and nerve fibers vulnerable to physical trauma or disease."
He adds, "Injury to the spinal cord leads to paralysis because damaged nerve axons in the central nervous system do not regenerate."
Dr. DeLeón has hypothesized that crushed central nervous system neurons in the spinal cord fail to regenerate because they are unable to induce growth-associated genes such as "DA11."
The grant by Montgomery Street Foundation will support the testing of this hypothesis in the spinal cords of laboratory rat models.
In addition, the research team will explore the possibility of regenerating injured spinal cord nerves through induction by neurons genetically engineered to produce DA11 FABP and other growth-associated genes believed to be important for regeneration.
Says Dr. Grohar, "The Montgomery Street Foundation continues to support many projects in higher education."
He notes, "Loma Linda University has been fortunate to be a recipient of the Foundation's generosity in past years."
"These two research awards constitute a tremendous statement of confidence on the Foundation's part, and that of its president, Mr. Charles Stine, and its other trustees," Dr. Grohar concludes, "in the significance and quality of research Loma Linda faculty are pursuing."
Patients helped as SAC Norton
dental clinic sees unusual cases
by Ronald Fritz
Four-year-old Alejandro Tovar had never been able to speak properly due to a condition he was born with--commonly referred to as being "tongue-tied."
It is a congenital condition which holds the tongue down with extra muscle attachments, and makes it impossible to move his tongue freely, and at the same time makes it more difficult for him to speak and pronounce his words.
Alejandro's parents knew something was wrong, but they were not sure what to do or how to go about having it corrected.
One day some Loma Linda School of Dentistry students volunteered their time to give oral health screenings at San Bernardino Valley College for children who did not have access to dental care. Little Alejandro was seen by Periza Zaninovic, SD'00, during these screenings.
The sophomore realized this was a dental problem and knew what could be done. She referred the little boy to Polly Sprague, SD'96, at the SAC Norton dental clinic, to handle the corrective treatment.
Alejandro and his family do not speak English and do not have sufficient financial resources to have such dental surgery performed.
The Norton clinic treats many patients every week who are without adequate financial ability to have the needed dental work done. Whether with Medi-Cal or the adjustable fee scale, patients can usually find a way to accomplish what needs to be done. Also, most of the staff and several of the doctors speak Spanish, facilitating treatment without a translator.
Dr. Sprague is an instructor in restorative dentistry at Loma Linda University. Her superior abilities as well as the love she shows her small patients makes this a win-win situation for everyone.
On October 14, the day after he turned four, the surgery was performed on little Alejandro, and for the first time in his young life, he could stick his tongue out and touch it to the roof of his mouth.
He has received follow-up examinations, and is now in speech therapy to improve his speech. Before being treated at the Norton Clinic, he used only "k" sounds for speech, that only his mother could understand and translate.
When an article about this case appeared in the San Bernardino County edition of the Riverside Press-Enterprise newspaper, a grandfather who was reading it realized this was the problem bothering his grandson. So he brought Wentrelle McIntosh in to see if his grandson could be helped.
On January 14, at 16 years of age, Wentrelle had the frenectomy surgery performed at SAC Norton, three months to the day after Alejandro had his. He is now retraining his tongue to make movements never before possible due to the condition since birth. Wentrelle wants to become a basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Based upon the newspaper article, Norton has received more calls requesting help with this unusual condition.
Ronald Fritz, SD'72, MPH, is a volunteer at SAC Norton dental clinic.
Revisions to Loma Linda University's
Faculty Handbook announced
Editor's note: revisions to the Faculty Handbook were recently approved by the LLU Board of Trustees. Following is the new policy regarding Copying and Off-Air Recording. The remaining revisions will be printed in upcoming issues of TODAY.
Faculty Handbook Revision
COPYING AND OFF-AIR RECORDING POLICY
11.0 Copying and Off-air Recording
What is a Copyright? A copyright is legal recognition that the original works of an author, artist or composer are entitled to a limited monopoly. A copyright owner has the right to exploit and copy the work and to prevent others from doing so without paying a royalty. The copyright protects such works as writing, music, artwork and computer programs. (The copyright or works created during employment at LLU are covered by the University's Intellectual Property Policy contained in the Faculty Handbook.)
11.1 What is the Scope of Copyright Coverage?
Works created since January 1, 1978 are protected for the life of the author plus 50 years. A work made for hire, i.e., a work created by an employee is protected for 75 years after its publication or 100 years after its creation, whichever ends sooner. Works created before 1978 are generally covered for 75 years from the original copyright date.
A copyright protects a variety of works:
a. literary works (including, but not limited to, textbooks and journal
articles, etc.);
b. musical works, including lyrics;
c. dramatic works, including music;
d. pantomimes and choreographic works;
e. pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works;
f. motion pictures, videos, and slides;
g. sound recordings;
h. computer software.
All that is required is an original work of authorship. Even a professor's lecture notes could be copyrighted. The work must be tangible; stored in a computer or written, recorded, or drawn.
The copyright owner holds the right to:
a. reproduce the copies of the work;
b. prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work;
c. distribute copies of the copyrighted work to the public by sale,
gift, rental or lending;
d. publicly perform or display the work.
Copyright protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. An idea, procedure, concept, discovery, or fact cannot be copyrighted. A researcher cannot copyright a discovery, but can copyright a journal article after the discovery. Patent laws may protect the discovery.
11.2 Permissible Used of Copyrighted or Other Material
A person or institution may use or copy a work without the owner's permission in the following cases: (1) Works that were not copyrighted; (2) those whose copyrights are expired; or (3) created by the federal government.
A legal concept called the Doctrine of Fair Use allows the copy of works on a limited basis for teaching, scholarship, and criticism. Libraries and archives may make limited copies. Certain performances and displays are allowed for teaching or religious purposes. The fair uses permissible within the University without written permission are detailed below along with legal limits on such uses.
Ideally, instructors are able to plan ahead for the use of copyrighted materials for personal research and as student learning materials and obtain appropriate written permission. Student learning materials may include lecture notes, classroom or conference or discussion group handouts, or tutorial notes, whether distributed on paper or through electronic media e.g. Web pages on a campus intranet or on the public Internet, E-mail, etc. Copying of such materials includes photocopying, electronic scanning, keyboard entry into computer-based word processing or E-mail programs for electronic distribution.
11.3 Copying for Classroom and Research Use
Copying of copyrighted materials for student learning and research use without written permission may occur in the following intances:
A. Single Copying for Teachers.
Single copies may be made of any of the following by or for teachers at their individual request for scholarly research or use in teaching or preparation to teach a class:
One chapter from a book;
An article from a periodical, journal or newspaper;
A short story, short essay, or short poem, whether or not from a collective work;
A chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book,
periodical, or newspaper.
B. Multiple Copies for Student Learning Use.
Multiple copies (not to exceed in any event more than one copy per pupil in a course) may be made by or for the teacher giving the course for student learning use or discussion; provided that the following three criteria are met: the copying meets the tests of brevity and spontaneity as defined below; the copying meets the cumulative effect test as defined below.
Each copy includes a notice of copyright. An example is "this material may be protected by Copyright law (title 17, US Code)."
C. Definitions*
1. Brevity
(a) Prose: (1) Either a complete article, story or essay of less than 2,500 words, (usually varies 3-8 pages depending on size of page and type); or (2) an excerpt from any prose work of not more than 1,000 words or 10% of the work, whichever is greater.
(b) Illustration: One chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture per book or per periodical issue.
(c) Poetry: (1) A complete poem if less than 250 words and if printed on not more than two pages or, (2) from a longer poem, an excerpt of not more than 250 words.
(d) "Special" works: certain works in poetry, prose or in "poetic prose" which often combine language with illustrations and which are intended sometimes for children and at other times for a more general audience that fall short of 2,500 words in their entirety. Paragraph "ii" above notwithstanding such "special works" may not be reproduced in their entirety; however, an excerpt comprising not more than two of the published pages of such special work and containing not more than 10% of the words found in the text thereof, may be reproduced.
2. Spontaneity
(a) The copying is at the instance and inspiration of the individual teacher, and;
(b) The inspiration and decision to use the work and the moment of its use for maximum teaching effectiveness are so close in time that it would be unreasonable to expect a timely reply to a request for permission.
3. Cumulative Effect
(a) Copying of the material is for only one course in the school in which the copies are made.
(b) Not more than one short poem, article, story, essay, or two excerpts may be copied from the same author, not more than three from the same collective work or more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term.
(c) There shall not be more than nine instances of such multiple copying for one course during one class term.
* [The limitations stated in 3. (b) and (c) above shall not apply to current news periodicals and newspapers and current news sections of other periodicals.]
D. Prohibitions as to A. and B. above. Not withstanding any of the above, the following uses are prohibited without written permission from the copyright owner:
1. Use of copying to create or to replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations or collective work. Such replacement or substitution would be considered so whether copies of various works or excerpts therefrom are accumulated or reproduced and used separately.
2. Copying of or from works intended to be "consumable" in the course of study or of teaching. These include workbooks, exercises, standardized tests, and test booklets and answer sheets, for example.
3. Use of copying (a) to substitute for the purchase of books, publishers' reprints, or periodicals; (b) which is directed by any level of University administration; (c) which is to be repeated with respect to the same item by the same teacher from term to term; (d) will include a charge to the student only for the actual cost of the copying.
11.5 Off-air Taping of Broadcasts
Loma Linda University recognizes the educational benefits of some commercial and noncommercial television programs. Tapes of such broadcasts shown to classes may enhance the quality of instruction. The off-air recording of commercial and noncommercial television broadcasts is strictly controlled by law and violation of that law can result in assessment of damages, attorneys' fees, civil fines, and imprisonment. The University therefore adopts the following guidelines in compliance with the Doctrine of Fair Use.
A. A broadcast program may be recorded off-air simultaneously with broadcast transmission (including simultaneous cable retransmission) and retained by the University for a period not to exceed the first forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days after date of recording. Upon conclusion of the retention period, the off-air recording must be erased or destroyed immediately. "Broadcast programs" are television programs transmitted by television stations for reception by the general public without charge. Programs on paid television shall not be recorded for use by the University. The University library media center may record news programs off the air and retain them as part of their archives.
B. Off-air recordings may be used once by individual teachers in a course of teaching activities relevant to the subject matter of the recorded program, and use may be repeated only once when instructional reinforcement is necessary, in classrooms and similar places devoted to instruction within a campus, during the first ten (10) consecutive school days in the forty-five (45) calendar-day retention period. "School days" are school session days--not counting week-ends, holidays, vacations, examination periods, or other scheduled interruptions within the forty-five (45) calendar-day retention period.
C. Off-air recordings may be made only at the request of and use by individual teachers and may not be recorded in anticipation of request. No broadcast program may be recorded off-air more than once at the request of the same teacher, regardless of the number of times the program may be broadcast.
D. A limited number of copies may be reproduced from each off-air recording to meet the legitimate needs of teachers under these guidelines. Each such additional copy shall be subject to all provisions governing the original recording, including erasures.
E. After the first ten (10) consecutive school days, off-air recordings may be used up to the end of the forty-five (45) calendar-day retention period only for teacher evaluation purposes, i.e., to determine whether or not to include the broadcast program in the teaching curriculum, and may not be used for student exhibitions, or any other nonevaluation purpose without authorization by the copyright owner.
F. Off-air recordings need not be used in their entirety, but the recorded programs may not be altered from their original content, i.e., the integrity of the program must remain intact. Off-air recordings may not be physically or electronically combined or merged to constitute teaching anthologies or compilations.
G. All copies of off-air recordings must include copyright notices of the broadcast program as recorded.
H. Commercially-produced videos, slides or computer software may not be copied and used for classroom teaching, other presentation, or personal use without written permission from the copyright owner.
11.6 Copying and Use of Computer Programs
Computer software is tangible material and can be copyrighted. The Doctrine of Fair Use applies to computer programs.
A. Permissible Uses of Copyrighted Software.
The following uses of copyrighted software owned by or licensed to the University or its faculty:
1. Copying it by using it in a computer's memory;
2. Making one backup or archival copy;
3. Making adaptations in order to use a particular machine;
4. Lending it; and
5. Selling it; in which case the backup or archival copy must be destroyed.
B. Prohibited Uses of Copyrighted Software.
The following uses of copyrighted software is prohibited by law without the permission of the copyright owner:
1. Making copies for gift or sale;
2. Copying a computer program purchased for use at the University in order to use it at home; or
3. Copying a computer program purchased for use in one department or school for use in another department or school. A site license should be negotiated to allow multiple uses on campus.
11.7 Penalties for Copyright Violations are Severe
A. A faculty member, employee, or student who violates the law or this policy is subject to University discipline and disciplinary processes.
B. Violation of copyright law can result in a legal action for an injunction, confiscation or copyright materials and monetary damages. A person or institution who infringes a registered copyright may be also be subject to attorney's fees and costs in enforcement actions.
C. Criminal penalties can be imposed for willful violations of a copyright for a financial or commercial nature.
D. Various schools of the University are expected to establish the program control procedures to maintain the letter and spirit of the guidelines.
11.8 Library Reserve Guidelines
At the request of a faculty member, a library may copy and place on reserve, excerpts from copyrighted words in its collection in accordance with guidelines similar to those governing formal classroom distribution for face-to-face teaching. The University believes that these guidelines apply to the library reserve shelf to the extent it functions as an extension of classroom readings or reflects an individual student's right to copy for this personal scholastic use under the Doctrine of Fair Use. In general, a library may copy materials from its collection for reserve room use for the convenience of students both in preparing class assignments and in pursuing informal educational activities which higher education requires, such as advanced inde- pendent study and research. Photocopies from a faculty member's personal collection may be placed on library reserve if it otherwise meets the requirements of fair use.
If the request calls for only one copy to be placed on reserve, the library may photocopy an entire article, or an entire chapter from a book or an entire poem.
The negotiated safe-harbor guidelines for classroom uses are in many ways inappropriate for the college and university level. "Brevity" simply cannot mean the same thing in terms of grade-school readings that it does for more advanced research. Because university professors were not specifically represented in the negotiation of the classroom Guidelines, the American Library Association published Model Policy Concerning College and University Photocopying for Classroom Research and Library Reserve Use (the "Model Policy").
A. Requests for multiple copies on reserve should meet the following guidelines:
1. The amount of material should be reasonable in relation to the total amount of material assigned for one term of a course taking into account the nature of the course, its subject matter and level.
2. The number of copies should be reasonable in light of the number of students enrolled, the difficulty and timing of assignments, and the number of other courses which may assign the same material.
3. The material should contain a notice of copyright. The effect of photocopying the material should not be detrimental to the market for the work. (In general, the library should own at least one copy of the work).
4. The reserve placement of the copyrighted material must not be repeated every quarter.
B. A faculty member's requests for multiple copies to be placed on reserve should meet the following guidelines:
1. The amount of material should be reasonable, if its supplemental.
2. The number of copies should be reasonable based on size of the class.
3. The material should contain a notice of copyright and the effect should not be detrimental to the market for the work.
Also, in general, the library should own a copy of the work.

The title of his presentation was "Psychological Processes in Conflict, Violence, and Social Peace."
Dr. Betancourt also presented the keynote address at the convention of the Chilean Psychological Association in Santiago, Chile, in November, 1997. His presentation was titled "Psychology as a Science and as a Profession: Looking to the Next Century."
* Leonard Bailey, MD, professor/chair, department of surgery, LLU, was listed as one of "history's great contributors" in TIME magazine's special fall, 1997 issue which highlights "Heroes of Medicine."
Dr. Bailey's name was included in a section titled, "2,397 Years of Progress," which chronicles the history of medicine from 400 B.C. to the 1990s.
* The Howard and Irene Peterson Tribology Laboratory (HIPTL) in the department of orthopaedics, received a $61,000 contract from SulzerMedica USA, of Austin, Texas, in January, 1998, to conduct hip-simulator wear tests on their all-metal total-hip replacements. Ian C. Clarke, PhD, director of the HIPTL and research professor in the department of orthopaedic surgery, says this is a continuation of an international collaborative study begin in 1997 with Dr. Andre Stark, director of the joint replacement center in the Karolinska Research Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. In the USA, all-metal hip joints are not FDA approved, so this research is a study of their in-vitro performance relative to the conventional hip implants used at LLUMC.
