January 20, 2003 UCSC in the News Linguistics professor Geoffrey Pullum was coauthor of a full-page opinion piece in the January 3 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. Pullum, along with Rodney Huddleston of the University of Queensland, Australia, argue that college curriculums need to include courses on English grammar that are based more on syntactic analysis and less on outdated and oversimplified usage rules. Patrick Letellier, an instructor at Merrill College, published the cover story in the January 9 Santa Cruz County Good Times. The story, called "Beyond He and She: A Transgender News Profile," is an analysis of transgender rights cases from around the country. The Los Angeles Times reported the $1 million donation of photographs from renowned photographer Pirkle Jones and his late wife, Ruth-Marion Baruch, to the UCSC Librarys Special Collections. The Santa Cruz Sentinel and the Good Times both ran feature
stories on the new childrens book, Sally Slug, written by
UCSC Foundation trustees Anne Neufeld Levin and Patricia Rebele. The Santa Cruz Sentinel ran a two-page article and photo spread
on the new book of photographs, Santa Cruz, California, by UCSC
librarians Sheila OHare and Irene Berry. KSCO covered the art exhibition, Faculty Works: 2003, at the Sesnon Gallery featuring works by new UCSC art faculty Melissa Gwyn, Lewis Watts, and Elliot Anderson. Highlights
