%Space-based asteroseismology has opened a window into the interiors of red giants.   Mixed modes \cite{Beck_2011} have made it possible to distinguish between hydrogen and helium-burning red giants \cite{Bedding_2011,Mosser_2014}, {\bf and been used to measure the rotation rate of red giant cores (\cite{Beck_2012,Mosser_2012}).}  {\bf A group of red giants with depressed dipole modes were identified using {\it Kepler} observations (\cite{Mosser_2011}, see also Figure \ref{fig:moneyplot}).} {\bf These stars show normal radial modes} (spherical harmonic degree $\ell=0$), {\bf but exhibit dipole ($\ell=1$) modes whose amplitude is much lower than usual.} Until now, the {\bf suppression} mechanism was unknown \cite{Garcia_2014}. Below, we demonstrate that dipole modedepression  {\bf suppression  may result} from strong magnetic fields within the cores of these red giants.
