Professor Mary Zimmerman Sociology Department
BY JASON BAKER
Sociology Department
What courses do you teach? I teach Gender and Social Policy, Social Health and Medicine, and I teach a study abroad course in Sweden or Finland about health care in June. I also teach at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
What inspired you to teach? Well, my dad was a history professor, and I am a child of the '60s, and I wanted to make the world a better place. My first lecture was the Black Power Movement because that what was going around me at the time.
Where did you go to college? I went to the University of Michigan for my undergraduate and the University of Minnesota for my doctorate.
What's the funniest moment you had teaching? I've made a few
Freudian slips, which I can't discuss.
But my students think they're raunchy and funny.
Craziest experience you had in college? In graduate school, the student protesting shut down the entire university. You could take the grade at midterm as your final grade if you continued discussing the Vietnam War.
What is the worst job that you have had? I sold encyclopedias to people who couldn't afford them. I quit in one day.
What's your ideal weekend? Going up to my cabin in northern Minnesota and sitting at my deck looking at the woods with a good book and binoculars to look at birds.
Where have you traveled to? I go to Sweden and Finland every summer. I've been to most of Europe,
the United States and some of the Middle East.
Do you have any hobbies?
Gardening, working in the yard,
reading, family history, traveling and
I love to cook.
What's your favorite restaurant?
I live in Kansas City, so Pangea Cafe and Market, 900 W. 39th St. in Kansas City, Mo. It's eclectic world cuisine, and it's inexpensive. They have fantastic and creative food.
What clubs and groups were you involved in? I started out in a sorority and ended up in a group called the Social Liberation Movement by graduate School.
NEWS BRIEF Student found dead in off-campus apartment
Aaron Caldwell, Bedford, Texas, senior, was found dead in his off-campus apartment on Sunday, according to a University press release.
Caldwell was an economics major. No foul play was suspected in his death, the release said, but the cause of death has not yet been determined by the Coroner's Office. The police investigation is ongoing, and there was no one available to comment Monday in the Lawrence Police Department.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in the release, "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Aaron Caldwell. On behalf of the entire University of Kansas community, I offer condolences on this untimely loss of such a promising young man."

Horse-drawn controversy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Patty Cooper sits in her wheelchair with her miniature pony, Earl, in Warren, Vt., on Oct. 17. The Central Vermont Community Land Trust said it was trying to figure out how to accommodate the disabled woman's request to have a miniature horse live with her in her apartment as a service animal. But Patty Cooper is tired of waiting. So far, she's been denied permission to do so, and that has prompted her to file a complaint with the Vermont Human Rights Commission charging that the land trust has denied her the "reasonable accommodation" for her disability that the law requires.
