Some say David was following his brother’s tracks
and was a lock for a pro career.
“He was on the road to being a very good player,”
says DU head hockey coach George Gwozdecky.
Carle says what he misses most now is proving his
value on the ice.
“I really wanted to prove people wrong. A lot

believed in myself.”
When Carle and his father broke the news to
George Gwozdecky about the diagnosis, Gwozdecky
called Athletics Vice Chancellor Peg Bradley-Doppes,
who was out of town. They quickly agreed to honor
Carle’s scholarship and make him part of DU’s hockey
program.
David Carle says that decision was “an act of
human kindness that needs to be known.”
Today Carle serves as a student assistant coach
with the team and handles video and writing about
hockey for DenverPioneers.com and ESPN.com.
When asked what he’s learned from the
experience, he says, “It’s put things perspective. I really
haven’t lived a hard life, so it makes me realize what’s

Romanoff takes off
DU alumnus and outgoing Colorado Speaker of the House considers political options

A nyone who has dreamed of pursuing higher education but thinks they’re too busy should take a look at the outgoing Colorado Speaker
of the House.
Romanoff received his law degree from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in December and complete a journey he began
six years ago. While sweating over the books, memorizing cases and learning the language of law, Romanoff represented one of Colorado’s
most urban districts in the State House and rose to Speaker of the House.
He helped enact Referendum C, a law that allows the state to spend surplus tax revenue on such things as education and transportation.
He traveled abroad to promote Colorado’s business environment and was even rumored to be a potential candidate for governor in 2006.
He also held a job as a college instructor.
So why take on law school as well?
“There was nothing good on TV,” Romanoff jokes before turning serious. “I think I was still intellectually hungry after graduate school.
And I thought a law degree would be useful to me in my job as a legislator. I guess I didn’t time it well because I’m term-limited out as I get
my degree.”

Wayne Armstrong
Romanoff’s term representing District 6
expired at the end of 2008. But looking ahead,
he’s one of three finalists for the Secretary
of State position vacated by Mike Coffman,
who was elected to Congress in November.
Gov. Bill Ritter says he’ll announce Coffman’s
replacement in January.
Romanoff, 42, already holds a bachelor’s
degree in American studies from Yale and a
master’s degree in public policy from Harvard’s
Kennedy School of Government, but says he
wanted to know more about how the laws he
was helping create would be interpreted in
the courts. He started out with a full load of
night courses in 2002 but eventually cut back
his course schedule and even took the last two Andrew Romanoff, former Colorado House Speaker, visited a DU class for freshmen that introduced

session.
“It was really good training for the brain,” he says. “It was a good experience.”
While he didn’t seek specialization, Romanoff says he enjoyed courses in international law, citing his work with Professor Ved Nanda
among his most memorable. Romanoff says he also fondly recalls courses with Adjunct Professor Karen Steinhauser and Professor Arthur
Best.
And in every class, he says, he enjoyed discussions about how lawyers and judges interpret laws and how courts try to determine the
lawmakers’ intent.
“In the first class I took, a professor told the students ‘You’ve got to pay close attention to the words of the statute because the
legislature obviously took care in choosing those words,” and I was thinking ‘No we didn’t,’” Romanoff says. “I started thinking a lot about
the record we’re developing, the floor debates, intent.”
He says he’s also glad he took a course in election law, considering he’s in the running to head the office that oversees Colorado elections.
Romanoff is also among those being discussed to replace Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar, who was tapped by President-elect Barack Obama to
lead the Interior Department.
To anyone who considering law school but thinks they can’t possibly squeeze it into a busy professional schedule, Romanoff has one
thing to say: “Yes, you can.”
“Obviously, I took longer than most people to finish. I did my reading on weekends, I took a lighter load,” he says.
But now, looking back, Romanoff says he’s pleased he stuck with it and is happy to be moving forward with a degree in law.
And as he puts down the books, at least for a little while, Romanoff says he’s overcome by one defining emotion: “Relief. A great sense
of relief.”

Hand washing study offers new weapon
against bugs
Getting undergraduates to do what’s good for them may be more
about what they think is disgusting than what they think is smart, DU
research indicates.
Moreover, if the message offers an easy way to avoid what’s disgust-
ing, many students will change their ways.
The 2007 study that led to these conclusions focused on getting stu-
dents to wash their hands more often, particularly after using the bath-
room.
Fear of spreading germs or getting sick by not washing didn’t mean
much to students, focus group research suggested. What got their atten-
tion was the knowledge that they might be walking around with “gross
things” on their hands if they didn’t wash.
The findings are generating interest. Universities including UC Santa
Barbara, Wyoming, Colorado State and CU–Colorado Springs are seeking
to borrow DU’s techniques in hopes of improving student hand washing
behavior on their campuses.
In fall quarter 2007, researchers posted messages in the bathrooms
of two DU undergraduate residence halls. The messages said things like
“Poo on you, wash your hands” or “You just peed, wash your hands” and
contained vivid graphics and photos. The messages resulted in increased
hand washing among females by 26 percentage points and among males
by 8 percentage points.
Observations in two control dorms over the same four-week period
showed hand washing dipped 2 percentage points among females and
21.5 percentage points among males.
The study’s lead author, Renee Botta, associate professor in the
Department of Mass Communications and Journalism Studies, theorizes
that the severe drop in hand washing among males might have been that
the habit they brought to campus fell away the longer they were away
from home and the more they were pressed by studies. Then, too, males
may require a secondary message beyond the “gross ones” that motivated
women.
—Richard Chapman
Teaching is both theoretical, practical
for Meyer
In academia, a line is often drawn between those who are prac-
titioners of a craft and those who study the craft. Michelle Meyer does
both.
The adjunct professor in the Daniels College of Business mar-
keting department was presented the Ruth Murray Underhill Teaching
Award at the University’s 2008 Convocation ceremony. The award
is given annually in recognition of excellence in teaching by an adjunct
faculty member.
Meyer, currently the director of the Industrial Products Industry
Group for Hitachi Consulting, has taught a logistics management class
in Daniels’ supply chain program since 2003.
She came to teach at Daniels on the invitation of Carol Johnson,
associate professor and chair of the marketing department. The two
met through the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.
“I asked Michelle to first participate by giving a guest lecture in my
logistics class, and the students loved her presentation,” Johnson says.
After her guest lecturing became regular, Johnson asked Meyer to
take on a class.
Meyer’s class, an introduction to supply chain management, cov-
ers inventory management, warehouse management, procurement,
supply chain information systems and demand management. The class
is open to both undergraduate and graduate students and often con-
tains a mix of students who are new to the topic and those who are
seasoned pros.
Wayne Armstrong
“The grad students keep you on your toes,” says Meyer, noting
that many of the graduate students are her peers, currently working in
the industry. “These folks are really sharp; they bring lots of perspective
and can share real-world theory with the undergrads.”
Rather than requiring a class project, undergraduate students
in Meyer’s class can participate in national logistics case competition.
“Each quarter I have three or four students who had no idea what
transportation management is. One time an art major ended up in my
class by default, but they always have a good time.”
“My goal is to get at least one or two converts [to the logistics
industry] from each class,” she jokes.
