Fou ndation to acquire the high-end microscope. The equipment is "the BM · W of atomic force microscopes," and will contribute significantly to the undergrad experience at PLU, Waldow said. "In chemistry, we often imagine how things look. This is the first piece of equipment that allows us to actual ly see, and any time you can bring in visu alization, the more insights you can learn," he said. Unlike rraditional microscopes, the atomic force microscope works through touch. A miniscule pinpoint-tip taps along the surface of a sample, similar to the stylus on a phonograph, and trans lates an image of the sampie's surface to a computer screen. While the tiny version of the logo doesn't have many practical uses, the microscope's ability to scratch the sur face of a sample docs, Waldow said. "Being able to man ipulate matter on the nanometer scale helps us u nder scand our world," \Valdow said. "More manipulation of matter leads to more scientific questions."

new award has been established [0 honor faculty, staff and stu dents who demonstrate unusually inventive, original and crea[ive approaches to advance the mission of the university. The recognition, named the Carol Sheffels Quigg Award fo r Excellence and Innovation, is currently accepting nominations. The award was established through an endowment gift by Quigg '58, a regent ofPLU. It seeks to honor those whose achievements have resulted in advances in knowledge, more effective teaching and learning, a stronger, more vibrant university culture, imp roved administra tive practice, and/or exceptional service to the community. The award may rec ognize individuals or organizations such as academic departments, staff groups or srudent clubs. Administered th rough the Office of the President, nominations for the Quigg award will be solicited a[ [he beginning of each fall terIn. Award recip ients will be announced at the an n u al Christmas luncheon in December. For more information, or [0 submit a nomination, contact the Office of the President at president@plu.cdu.

In the fiel d with PLU' studen researc hers f all the potenr i;lll), tedious chores that can make up a col lege student's summer job, here's a new one: spending hours on your knees, rolling over one boulder after another just ( 0 see wlut's under neath. I t's how Stcphanie Agoncillo '08 and Meliss;l Youngquist '09 spent their s u m mcr. And this IV;lS a covcted gig. I n truth, to stand under blue skies and smell the salt air blowing off Washington's picturesque Strait of Juan de Fuca, it was clear this was a choice assignment. And when Assistant Professor of Biology Michael Behrens is doing the rock-rolling, all the be tter. Beh rens was one of many professors who led studen t-facu.lty research proj ects this summer. Some veL1tured off campus, like this one to \X/ashington's Olympic Peninsula. In the natm;ll sci ences ;llone, more than nine faculty members worked with more than 21 students (0 conduct fieldwork, ,1S well as gather and analyze dara. For Behrens and his team, they spent several days in \X/ashington's tidal areas conducting fieldwork for two separate projects - one surveying disease in urchin populations, and ;lnothcr inves tigating a type of fish call ed prickle backs that live under rocks in the tide lands. In the case of the pricklebacks, there exist three closely related speciE'S that all share the same habitat. The question Behrens and his team were asking was: If these species have the same hab i tat, why did they evolve. into three distinct species? To get an answer, the trio turned over one rock after another, taking invento ry of the pricklebacks and the rocks they lived under, plus measuring the elevation and noting the location. Some fish were also b rought back to the labs i n Rieke Science Center to be dissected to determine feeding behav ior. Throughout the summer, they ana lyzed the collected data, which Behrens' hopes will enable them to prod ucc a publication on the subject.

8 PLU SCENE FAll 2007 > LIFE OFTHE MIND

Either way, for Behrens, the value of this type of student and faculry col labo ration is cle;lrly evident. "It is a win-wi n situation for both sides," he said. "There is no way I could do that by myself - the research simply doesn't get done with out rhe students." The value to the students, too, is clear. "I've never done field work," said Monika Maier '09. Along with Josh O'B rien '08 and Assistant Professor of Biology Julie Smith, she spent nearly a month in Idaho's remote Sou th Hills region studying rhe nesting habits of the crossbill finch. "This was com pletely different than class. Instead of reading abour something in a book and dis cussing i t, we're out there doing it. And wc're doing ir pretty in tensely." For I'v1aier, that meant spending nearly ;l month living out of tents and eating meals over a camp stove, as well as bear ing a freak mid-June snOwstorm and triple-digit heat. Maier even studied-up on emergency childbirth, JUSt in case Smith, who was seven monrhs pregnant

a t the time, wem into early labor. And there was the research, o f course: sporring and tagging a new species of c rossbill finch, which live exclusively among the region's pines, analyzing their nesting-site selection, as wei I as the "song stability" of the birds' ca.l ls. After returning from Idaho, they took the recordings to Rieke (0 listen to rhe tape. They fed some of the data into the co m puter with the hope of assessing the sta bility of the birds' night calls. Red Cross bills have recently diversified i n to ninc different ecologically distinct taxa. These raxa arc recognized on the basis o f the u niquc flight calls, however, the long-term stability of these flight calls have not been studied. " By making these guys camp, I knew we'd be changing their comfort level," said Smith. "But this is what field work is like. I t is imporram fo r them to k now what it takes to make a data set. That said, the studenrs were certainly up to rhe task. They did a great job . " Behrens agreed. "If thcy have any SOrt o f aspiration to go to graduate school parricularly really good schools - Stu dents need to distinguish them selves fro m other candidates," s.l i d Beh rens. "That means lab and field experience. [Graduate schools] are looking for that it is a necessity." This fact is not lost on Agoncillo. "Grad schools look to see what you have done," she said. "If] want to get into a good pro gram, then I've gOt to have this kind of expenence. " "There's another valuable part of it, maybe the most valuable of all," added Behrens. "You get a chance to work in a particular environment. You might hate it. And if you fi nd out you hate it, then you can mark that off the list." In the case of AgonciIlo and Youngquist, the two found thar even when thar work included [urning one rock over after another, they didn'r hate it at all. For them, this type of experience, no matter whar rheir career path may be, was the opportunity of a lifctime. llij By Steve f l".ilseil

"Historically, businesses on Garfield Street have s[ruggled," said Mark Mulder '93, director of auxillary services. "In recent y ears rhough, rhe number of rhriving businesses has improved steadily." Garfield Commons will increase pedestrian traffIC berween campus, the booksrore and Garfield Sueer merchants. It will also provide opportuniries for further economic development - along with the booksrore, a gourmer pizza resrauranr, specialty coffee shop, tanning salon and smoorhie esrablishment are also open for business. For its parr, rhe Garfield Book Company ar PLU targets more than rhe campus communiry. "By and large, campus bookstores are sheltered from rhe real world," said Krisri Dopp, director of .arfield Book Company. "But we're nor juSt serving PLU; we're serving rhe greater communiry and the school districts." In addition to items ty pically car6cd by a college booksrore textbooks, PLU memorabilia, school supplies - the 1 5,OOO-square foO[, rwo-story store carries products for the greater Tacoma com muniry, the Franklin-Pierce and Berhel school districts, and home schooled children. It's a unique combined college and independent communiry bookstore based on a model Mulder calls "communiry embraced. "

Something had to change' PLU had been eyeing the corner lots ar Garfield and Pacific Avenue for more rhan a decade, said Sheri Tonn, vice president for

finance and operarions. In rhe pasr, Piggly Wiggly, O'Neil's grocery store, and most recently, a thrifr store, were locared on rhe site. With each business venrure, the corner continued to deteriorare and become more of an eyesore. 10 make matters worse, thar corner served as the gateway to PLU. "Everyone agreed that the corner was not very attractive and somerhing had to change," said President Loren Anderson. Somerhing did change. The university used endowment funds ro purchase the property aJ1d an adjacent vacant lot for redevelop ment. PLU partnered with Lorig Associares LLC ro co-develop rhe property. Pierce County Councilwoman Barbara Gelman '74 saw rhe corner as an opportunity to partner wirh PLU ro enhance Garfield Srreet. For more than 20 y ears, Gelman bas been a fierce advoGlte for a pedestrian friendly Garfield Streer and Pacific Avenue. "Wirh the purchase of the property where Garfield Commons

sirs, Garfield Srreer essentially became rhe connecrion berween PLU and rhe new development," Gelman said. "/r's almosr as if (PLU) wrapped irs arms around Garfield Srreer." Prior ro rhe Garfield Commons projecr, Gelman's focus was on Pacific Avenue and irs $13 miJlion srreerscape improvement plan. Pierce County originally planned ro consrrucr sidewalks along a five-mile srrerch of rhe road, bur Gelman wanted more. "T hey were jusr purring in sidewalks," Gelman said. "The plan didn'r include curbs and gurrers or ameniries like pedestrian lightmg or trees. " She successfully halted the project and had it redesigned. Gelman also secured a $5 million grant from the Transportation Investment Board, which provided curbs and gurrers al ong the entire five-mile stretch and added amenities ar five major intersections. When PLU announced rhe development of GarfIeld Commons, Gelman embraced the projecr, seeing it as a chance to improve the streerscape of Garfield, she said. The plans also fit with Pierce County's interest in encouraging redevelopment and improvements in the area. While the Parkland-Spanaway-Midland community plan set rhe framework, rhe 2006 "Garfield Srreerscape Improvement Plan" specifically rargeted rhe Garfield Business Districr. The collaborative effort strives ro improve rhe pedestrian experience on Garfield Srreet by providing an environment for people ro walk, shop and dine. "When you come pasr the Commons buildings, you'll look down Garfield and you'll say, 'Oh, whar's that?' Just like a college town," she explained. PLU and Lorig incorporated the first phase of the srreetscape plan in the Garfield Commons development. Along with wider sidewalks, benches, trees and improved lighting, the development includes bike racks and outdoor plaza gathering spaces. The build ings themselves vary in height and shape. Canopies and a variety of building materials crearc an inviring "urban village" feel. "We now have a complere new look on the corner and we expect rhar this will be a very good invesrment for rhe community and the university," Anderson said.

His heart wasn't in it, though, and he feared that job would be laden with bureaucracy.

ates spent part of their college education abroad, studying in more than 36 coun tries. Doug Oakman, dean of humanities, said that like Kemmick, students often come to PLU with al1 idea in mind but then change direction. "Their understanding of self and their life trajectory is soft," Oakman said. Incoming freshmen come in withour the "big questions" that college inspires. "Boy, do they get them," Oakman said. "'What is my life purpose?' would be one, and not just in terms of careeL" He said students will change their employment several times during their lifetimes, and PLU tries to educate stu dents to negotiate thar. It's a liberal arts education that encourages students to question what the "best life" is, who is truly happy and whether financial SLlC cess is a big enough purpose in life, he said. "Educating for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care," Oakman said. "Care for other people, care for the environment, care for the world." Kemmick o'edits his mother for instill ing a moral code in him, and his father for taking him as a child to recycle. At college, he got involved with a group called GREAN - G rass Roots Environmental f\ction Now. He and other students promoted a program called, "Are you Going to Eat That?" in which he and others in the group stood at the trash cans in the cafe teria, eating food off diners' plates to

point out how much they wasted. The head of dining services offered Kemmick a job boosting sustainabiliry efforts in the cafeteria - better recycling, reducing food waste and increasing local purchasing. As the head o f G REAN in his senior year, he built composting bins and bought shares from a local farm. This spring, he wrote a resolution that would raise tuition by $20, of which $ 1 6 would support renewable energy. The other $4 would go directly into campus environmental efforts such as buying more efficient light bulbs. He gathered more than 1 ,000 signa tures, the student government passed it, and PLU's Board of Rege.nts will consider it in October. Rose McKenney, who teaches geology and environmental studies and advises GREAN, said Kemmick was able to get students who weren't traditionally in the environmentalism movement in terested in his projects. "He's very committed, and he has a huge amount of energy," McKenney said. Kemmick is trying to get a job a[ PLU next year, to continue working on sus tainability issues. If that doesn't happen, he'll find an environmental activist job. " I really do want to write," Ke111l11ick said. "That is the final goal.

A mother's g rief helps others in need ben she began what would become a full-time crusade, Sarah Slack '95 sim ply wanted to raise money for her infant son's grave marker. But that modest effort soon led to [he formation of the TEARS Fo und a[i o n a Tacoma-based organiza tion that helps familie s who h ave lost babies. Slack fo unded TEARS in 2002. The non-profit organization aids bereaved parents with financial expenses associ aced with making final arrangements for babies who have died. "We cannot take any of the pain away from families," Slack said. "Bu[ we can l i ft a financial burden for [hem by pro viding funds to assist with [he cost of burial or cremation services, and allow them more options when they make the fl11al arrangements for [heir baby." The creation of TEARS resulted from personal h ardship. On Nov. 1 3 , 2000, Slack and her husband, Sanford Slack, heard the words [hat still haunt them: "There is no hear[beat." "My world crashed, my baby was dead," Sarah Slack said. The financial burden of funeral expenses meant [ h at for a year, Sarah and Sanford had to leave [heir chi ld's grave without a headstone. "I remember visiting [he cemetery and everything was still fresh: my emotions, the cold air, the fresh dirt around the grave and just a number for where my son is buried," she said. She placed a newspaper ad that read, "yard sale to help pay for my son's marker." At the conc lusion of that sale, Sarah S lack raised enough money to purchase a $600 headstone. Today, nearly six years later, she works to help other grieving families. "When I hear of the loss o f a precious l i ttle baby," she sa id " there are no words to be found. Only [ears." ,

Squires brings EMAL to Canadian football or SCOtt Squires '88, playing on PLU's 1 987 championship football team was a major score, but i[ was only [h e first of many. After graduating, Squires drew on his experience to help guide him to success ful coaching stints at the college level, working a[ several schools across [he United States. However, Squires wanted to go long, which landed him his current job as spe cial teams coach for [he Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. "It's an awesome chal lenge for me," Squires said. "There are some ideas about character and work ethic I gOt from PLu''' In [he CFL, Squires has had to learn the differences between American and Canadian-style footbaU, one of which is having 1 2 p l aye rs on the field as opposed to 1 1 . Yet, [he reasons Squires loves [he game remain the same. " I like tbe camaraderie," Sq u i re s said. " Every week there's a goal. I want to

do a really good job." One downside to coaching in Canada is [hat i[ has temporarily separa[cd Squires from his family: wife, Sheri[h (Lundring '88) Squires and their three children. 8m Squires says telephones and [he Imerne[ help him stay in touch. S q uire s has also had to adjust to no longer being a head coach. Prior to [he Eskimos, he was head coach of California Lu [heran Univcrsi [y, which a[ rimes made him one of PLUs competitors. 8 m Squires has remained [rue to his EMAL (Every Man A Lute) background by getting together at least once a year with former PLU teammates. S quires who has scored many poims in h i s pro fess io n al and p e rs o n a l life, gives much of [he credit to his time in Parkland. ''I'm just grateful for my experience there," Squires said.

heard me tell before. I used it to open the year 06-07 in my convocation address. It's the story about the visit by the astrophysicist, Step hen Hawking, to the Universi ry of Hong Kong. After his lecture, H awking was asked what were the three most important ques tions to which he would l i ke to k now the answer? Hawking said, "First, how was the world created? Second, what happens inside black holes in space) Third, how are hu man beings going to survive on this earth for the next 100 years?" How can human beings survive on this earth for the next 100 years? It's a question that, at fi rst, catches your b reath. It's a question that you would then likE- to dism iss. But I submit that, given the state of our global vil lage, it is a question to be confronted; a question both powerful and reaL It's very real as long as our penchant for war exceeds our passion for peace.

long as our hunger for oil blinds us to i ts impact on our air, as long as one h alf of our h uman fam ily lives on less than $2 a day, and as long as only one our of each 1 00 young persons in our world has a chance for higher education. Yes, the challenges facing our global communiry are daunting. That is why this universiry has commi tted itself to seek to educate a new generation of global leaders who have the vision and the capacity and the will to build, in the words of our global education vision statement, a more "jUSt, healthy, sustainable and peace-filled world." You see, we're a small, li ttle place with a great big idea and we're bold abou r it, because we go forth in the fai th that God has not abandoned his creation. Yes, we go forth in hope, because of the wonderful, young people who are parr of our campus communiry young men and women who bring to

us the capacities of heart and mind, that, when honed by their PLU educa tional experience, can help to frame a positive answer to Hawking's daunting question. I believe that human beings can sur vive the next 100 years, bur only i f we educate a new generatio n of people to lead us. My generation, I fear, is nOt get ting the job done. That's the vision we have at Pacific Lutheran Universiry. That's the passion that drives us. We thank you for sharing in that vision. We believe it is a noble caLl ing. We believe that it's an effort worthy of our most generous stewardship. And so we say "thank you" for being a parr of it, for sharing it with us. � Loren }.

Presid e nt Loren Anderson says PLU is c o m m itted to c reating global l e a ders who h ave the c a p a c ity to build a p e a c e -filled world.

B)I Loren ]. Anderson mong the very most i mporrant initiatives at Pacific Lutheran University is our comm i tment to global education. We call it " building a globally focused university." It isn't a new thing. It hasn't happened overnight. In fan, it's been going on for some 30 years. In the early years our global education programs were created and developed rel atively autonomously around campus. Over time they have come together to form one of the cornerstones of the uni versity'S mission and future. That mis sion is driven by a large and growing num ber of globally informed and e.ngaged fac ulry who have built a curriculum that

includes a new international honors core, a global studies major, a Chinese studies major, and a Scandinavian major. Last spring, by action of our Board of Regents, a master's degree in connict res olution was created that includes partici pation in our award-winning study abroad program. Everyone has heard about PLU's remarkable study away ptogram. I am proud that Pacific Lutheran University last year was the first ever American col lege or u njversity to be simultaneously on aU seven continents, and we're going to do it again in 2008.

our campus has become a home for international students and scholars from around the globe, as well as a hub for the discussion o f global issues. It is a remarkable accomplishment. Our passion for this global education effort grows from our Lutheran her itage and educarional rradirion. [r's a rrad irion rhar reaches us to reach out to embrace the world to care, to serve and to do so, in the words of Acts 1 :8, "to rhe very ends of rhe earth."

Fu l b ri g ht p ro g ra m a c kn owl e d g e d a s o n e of th e b e st hen PLU was named by the Chronicle of Higher Education as one of the top fou r masters-level institutions in terms of the number of students currently participating in the prestigious U.S. Fulbright S tudent Fel lowship everyone at the universicy was pleased with the honor. However, they couldn't have been sur p rised - PLU has been doing this for years. four PLU graduates a re cu rrently studying abroad as part of the presti gious award. Of similar institutions, the highest number was five. "That PLU ranked so h igh testifies not only to the q uality of PLU, but to the quality of a liberal arcs education," said Troy Sto rfjell, assistant p rofessor of languages and literatures, and the university's Fulbright program adviser. Spo nsored by the U.S. Department of State, and named for U.S. Senator J. Will iam fulbright of Arkansas, the fulbright p rogram was established in 1 946 by the U.S. Congress to "enable the government of the United S tates to increase m u tual understanding between the people of the Un ited States and the people of other countries." It is the largest U.S. international exchange program offering opportuni ties fo r students, scholars and profes sionals to undertake international graduate s tudy, advanced research, un i versicy teaching, and teaching in ele mentary and secondary schools world wide. Th a t language from the original con gressional legislation - " to increase m utual u nderstanding" perfect l y squares with PLU's focus on p reparing its graduates to engage the world. "The Fulbright Fellowship is an ideal match with the global focus of this universi cy," StorfJell said. PLU has always had a strong global focus. But Storfjcll said a lot of the cred it sho uld go to Rodney Swenson, former professor of German, who was instrumental i n bringing the two together. Until this last year when ,

StortJell took over, Swenson had served as Fulbrigh t program adviser s i n ce 1 975, when the fi rst of PLU's 76 stu dents to date received the award. Sto rfjell spent nearly a year working with Swenson beforc he took over as adviser. "I got to see, firsthand, how the p rocess should be do ne S torfjell recalled. "First, he knows erJerything. And the care he puts (into revicwing applications and advisi ng) is cen tral to the un iversity'S success. PLU would not have had nearly as lTIany recipients i f it weren't for Rodney's work." The Fulbright is a prestigious fellow ship, and both the recipients and PLU deserve recogni ti on for their efforts. But ,"

what does it lTIean for current Fulbright Fellows who are currently abroad as part of the p rogram? For M ichael Wauters '07, that answer is easy. As a senior majoring in b iology, Wauters received a fellows h i p to assist on an epidemiological scudy of Chagas disease in rhe Pastaza province of Ecuador. After he spent the 2006 J-Term in Ecuador wirh Professor of B iology Wi lliam Teska, Wauters knew he wam ed to return to Latin f\merica. The plan was to spend a year after graduation immersing h i mself i n another culture and working on his S panish b efore recurn ing to the Unired S tares to attend

medical sc hool. When the Fulbright came thwugh, his shon-term goals did n't change. bur he noted, " I no longer had to sweat the details of funding my dream ." B u t in the shorr time Wauters has been in Ecuador, some of his long-term goals /Javc c h anged. He's still passionate about med icine, b u t now that he's see i.ng the wodd fwm a d i fferen r perspec tive, he wonders i f another person on the traditional medical-school path is really what the world needs. "Practicing medicine (is) a vocation I am passionate abou t. Yet the longer I am here the more I realize merely prac ticing medicine will never be enough," he recenrly stated in an e-mail. "As I start to comprehend the magnitude of the suffering, the i nj ustice, and the pain i n our world, I can't JUSt blink and make i t all go away.

"And each time these thoughts cross my m ind I wonder. can I really go through with this? Do I h ave what i t takes to serve to this degree? And more and more the answer is yes, without a doubt, yes." It is experiences such as these that u nderscore why the un iversity chal lenges its students to study away and dare to view the world from a d ifferenr perspective. Such transformation is hardly reserved fo r Fulbrigh t fellows.

makes a typical transfer student, Joelle Pretty, PLU's director of transfer recruitment had a simple answer. "There is no typical transfer student." Each year, PLU admits between 250 to 300 transfer students to campus. Some are in their 50s, looking to complete a degree they'd leti: unfinished earlier in life. Some are just a year or two removed from high school. Some are from fami lies that have never before sent a child to college. Others have transferred from a four-year university and are simply look ing for something more to their liking. I n short, PLU's transfer population is a diverse mix of students from all walks of life. And that might be exactly why many on campus see the influx of such students as such a good thing.

At Green River, she had been extremely involved, working as the president of the local honor society and at the local radio station. \Vhen she came to PLU, there was never any question that she'd get involved - the only question was where.

" I t can be hard, especially at first, to make sure transfer students feel connected to their new school," she said. "\Ve may be a little bit older than the freshmen, but when we get here, we are just as confused as everybody else." So, as a new ASPLU senator, Relfe went looking into ways to improve the orientation p rocess to make transfer students feel more comfortable.

When pushed, many composers stall as they try to translate how an i n i tial idea becomes an orchestral or a jazz piece. "It's a lot of stari ng out the window fo r hours before you fi nally start wri ting somethin g," said David Joyner, PLU's

Joyner recalls once writing an entire piece in 45 min utes. Some composers work from a small collection of notes to a larger piece or, like Youtz, begin with an entire orchestral piece chiming in their heads. guess a true composer believes agai nst all common sense that making a piece of music is an important act," Youtz mused. "It's an impo rtant act, worth all the time and sweat, where you lie awake at night thinking about ir." "1

Often those commissioning the com poser set the boundaries of what they want. The artist then has ro make the notes fit ro carroon characters, the mood of the movie or the sleek car whizzing by on the TV screen. But even here, composers find ways ro bend the rules. David Robbins, music department chair, reme m bered a piece he was com missioned to write for the Bicentennial in 1 976. Rather than go the John Philip Sousa route, he chose ro craft a piece around Edgar Allen Poe's poem, "The Bells." Not exactly toe-tapping stuff. With a com mission often comes a dead line. Most composers will tell you there's nothing like that date circled i n red t o get the muse coyly shimmying into the room. About 1 5 years ago, a colleague asked Richard Nance, direcror of choral activi ties, ro write a piece for a Puyallup choir. The s trucrure and notes finally began ro emerge during C hristmas at his sister's house in Wyoming. Nance tried ro tune out the homey laughter upstairs as he mulled over his piece, eventually named "The Magnificat," in the downstairs den. Sis had no piano, so Nance had to com pose the piece enti rely in his head. "Still, I think now, it's the best thing I've

ever done," Nance said, as he reads through the piece, now, on an autumn afternoon. The Virgin Mary's part, crafted by a lyric soprano, floats up and pirouettes between late fall sunbeams. This is a profession dominated by men. All those interviewed for this srory, save one - Cindy McTee '76, a PLU alum now at the University of North Texas - were men. "Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, I'm not sure they are more sur prised by my profession or that I'm a woman composer," McTee said. McTee focuses on orchestration for wind instruments. Composing, she noted, is a bossy profession. "You have ro assert how a person will play this note or that note," McTee said. "You have ro tell them how fast, how loud, and frankly, boys are e ncour aged ro be more assertive than gi rls in our society." At this point, McTee quickly back tracks and points Out she received plenty of encouragement and support from the men at PLU. She is now co un ted as one of the fi.rst, and one of the most prestigious, graduates of a PLU program that has gained national and i nternational recognition. BO[h Youtz and Nance have become well known in national and interna tional circles for thei.r work in band and choral composition, respectively. In the late 1 960s, Joseph Schwanter, who would later go on ro win the Pulitzer Prize for "Afterrones of Infin ity," taught at PLU.

While many composers trek through teaching and academia - the mortgage must be paid regardless of the muse's calling, after all - Robbins rook a slight ly different path. He graduated with a degree i n music and entered grad school at the University of Michigan when William Bolcom, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1 988 for " 1 2 New Etudes for Piano," and Ross Lee Finney taught there. The hallways were filled with advant garde notes that Robbins was sure his parents would never under stand. "Moon River," yes, this stuff, no. Robbins tried commercial composing think of that catchy tune for green beans - for a big-name company, but he found the competition and back-stab bing distastefuL Truly it was "insert peppy music here," he recalled. "So you'd come up with something like 'digga, digga, digga' for the pictures of i ndustrial machines." He arrived at PLU in 1 969. With the blessing of his predecessor as depart ment chai r, the late Maurice Skones, Robbins started the composition program. He seems ro collect talent at PLU as one might collect choice Chihulys. YOutZ, McTee, Clement Reid and G regory Bowers. Other professors - such as Brown and Joyner - compose as welL That makes PLU unusual, Youtz noted. Typically, composers are considered the class nerds by the rest of the music profs and are generally ignored or avoided. "This is a very friendly place to be," Youtz said. " Everyone is interested i n the act o f composition."

G raduates, such as Brad Bodine '87, have also won national acclai m . His work, called " Kaleidoscope: Concerto for Marimba and O rchestra," was recorded by Gerard Schwarz and the Seatde Symphony, and will soon be released on the MMC labeL

Youtz speculated that many composers end up in the trade because they play an instrument no one bothers ro write for. In his case, it was the bassoon. H e remembers listening ro a piece written by a classmate for a woodwind quartet in high school and being asrounded.

The genesis of PLU's composition pro gram came out of one man's love for odd tunes.

So he went home, wrote a piece for the bassoon and flute and woke up the flutist, his sister, insisting they give it a

da D U M for his Fifth Symphony - is a good place to start, he said.

Composers are obsessive that way.

Youtz said he can draw inspiration from nails clinking together or water dripping into a koi pond. He's con stantly playing tunes i n his head. He rarely turns on the rad.io in the car mu ch to the an noyance of his wife since the runes are already coming through loud and clear.

In college, Youtz trekked home to O lympia on breaks and spent his en ti.re vacation copying some score that had cau ght his ear. His paren ts didn't understand why their son didn't reliL'(. "Day after day, I'd be twidd ling these notes on a page with an ink pen, and i t looked like a n amazing amou nt of tedi um to them," he said. These stray scrib bli ngs and musings often hold the seeds of some of the best pieces.

Of late, he's drawn much of his inspira tion fro m the Far East, taking IWO sabbat icals to China, the first by happenstance in 1 992 and the second by invitation i n 2005. Chinese music focuses much more on string instruments and blurs the boundaries bet\veen different pitches more than its Western counterpart.

You tz tried to drive home the poi nt of great things coming from snip pets of ideas at a musical composition work shop tucked in a corner of Easrvold Hall on a rainy Tuesday night. After drawi ng a purple squiggle on the white board, he tossed the pen to one of 10 students in the room.

"The most we see that happening i n Western m usic is on t h e viol i n or i n opera, where a singer may scoop up a note," he said. His travels to China are evident in his piece on water dragons. The notes twist and undulate with a sinewy and slick undertone i n the background, and the image of a dragon gliding through water appears.

As each srudent took a stab at enlarging the squiggle, the drawing began to look a bit like an Etch-a-Sketch that's downed toO many espresso shots. However, Yo u tz patiently complimented each srudent's addition, and fi nally b rought the whole exercise to a hal t by drawing eyes and teeth among the ran dom li nes, revealing a hidden dragon.

Just what separates the good fro m the bad in music? This brings a long silence from the PLU composers. One gets the feeling that either they think you're an i d iot, so why bother, or that there are so many answers, crafting a response is overwhelmi ng.

Game over. He called himself on providing a "cheap endi ng" to this piece and hummed out "s have and a hair CUt, two b its." Don't do this with yo ur co mpositions, he told the group. While a piece may "quote" from Stravinsky or Tchaikovsky, a com poser can't bail on the piece, write the m usical equivalent "ta da" and expect i t to work. Doodling out the n u t of an idea - fo r example Beethoven started with da-da-

To some, i t's a matter of taste. Joyner, who has written the book "American Popular M usic," said there is no such thing as a bad piece of music. .

But good music, really great music, will evoke a reaction in the listener, be it classical, pop or just strange. There will b e emotion, foot pounding or tears. A

good piee has pacing, a tension, a cli miL, and lull . It asks IJlore questions than it answers. Llke a lover, it knows how to push your bu ttons. Robbins, who wrote that piece for the Bice ntennial 30 years ago, hoped to evoke all this when he premiered it fo r a music symposi um in Ellensburg, Wash. The piece broke all the rules. I t had a joyous begi nning, a wedding move ment, one of war and then a funeral wrap-up. The climiL'( was at the middle instead of the "golden section," usually marked two-thirds of the way through a piece. It was a percussion piece coiled together with electronic, new age sounds. All this fo r a largely silver-hai red audi ence, with a few locks tinted light blue. �!hen he walked into the room, Ro bbins looked up to see eigh r-foot high cei lings capped off by tiles. The acoustics are going to be awful, he thought. Robbins was certain this was going to be a disaster. Still, he worked gamely through the l O-minute piece and wrapped up the long meditative ending. The tape clicked off. Total silence. "1 just started to walk Out of the room when the applause scarted, and then they got to their feet," Robbins said.

All the hearcache paid off. One lady approached Robbins afterward and thanked him, tell ing him the piece was wonde rful and re minded her of her "Aunt Bertha." After checking her face to make sure she l iked this Aunt Bertha, Robbins realized she was giving him a compli ment. Now, 30 years later, Robbins holds the lessons of this odd composition close to his heart. "It showed me that any seri ous music can fin d an appreciative audience," he said. "It can cross the generations." lm

hen Mark Mariani s howed up in 1994 as an u nrecruited walk-on to the Lute football team, li ttle did he know that his PLU experience would come full circle. A dozen years later, now D r. Mark Mariani has returned to hel p the athlet ic training p rogram. Mariani, a 1 998 PLU graduate, went on to graduate from the University of Washington Medical School. After establishing an orthopedic sports medi c i ne p ractice with M ulti-Care in the Tacoma area, Mariani returned to his PLU roots at the start of the 2006 school year. Since that ti me, he has pro vided his services to the school's athlet ic training p rogram, establishi ng a reg ular Tuesday afternoon schedule. As the " team doctor," he also attends a number of PLU athletic events throughout the year, offering expertise when it comes to athletic injuries. �"lariani participated in football dur ing the 1 994 and 1995 seasons, though only in the role of a p ractice player. \l;lhcn he realized he wouldn't see much playing time on the field, he took on the role of a "servant warrior," an indi vidual who helps wi th the program in any way that he can. "My experience at PLU was pretty special and football was a large parr of that," Mariani said. lvledicine was one of two career paths he considered when he first came to campus. "I had d reams of being a bas ketball coach, but medicine just called me," Mariani said. "In my (medical) training, SPOrtS medicine became an increasing i nfluence on me." Once his practice was established in Tacoma, Mariani and h is wife, E rika (Olson '97), saw the athletic program as a perfect outlet for his desire to i nflu ence the lives of college students. "My wife and I have always had a heart for college students," he said, "so to come back to where we starred is a dream." G ary Nicholson, the school's long time athletic trainer, and Jen Thomas '98, '99, the assistant trainer, are both happy to have Mariani as part of the

With Fulbright, administrator compares school programs in u.s. and Brazil isiting a foreign land can some times remind travelers abou t aspects of their own country. For Larry Walsh '75, a trip to B razil on a F u l bright Fellowship in August 2007 afforded him that very insight. An associare p rincipal ar Capi tal High School in Olympia, Walsh was one of only eight U.S. school adminis rrators selecred for rhe p rogram. "This experience changed me person ally and profession ally," Walsh said . "I fell in love wi th the country and its d iversity in people, food and the arts." The group of adminis trators spent their rime visiting schools at all levels and learning as m uch as possible about

Brazil's educarional sysrem. While meeting wirh his B razilian cou nterparts and state education ministers, \'\1alsh realized chat Brazilians face many of rhe same challenges experienced in the U n i ted S cares. The key d i fTerence, however, is that the ed ucation system of Brazil has fewer resources. "I was amazed," \'\1alsh said , "at how efficiendy they made use of everything that was available to them in the schools. " Wals h knows efficiency when he sees i t. He has worked in schools since grad uating from PLU with a bachelor's degree in music education. He started h is career as a band d i rector in Chinook, Mont. Later, h e returned to Was h i ngton state as a teacher and adm inistrator at h igh schools i n Hoquiam and Federal Way. Although Walsh enJoys living in

But Heinen, w h o double majored i n education a n d h i s tory a t PLU, quickly learned that being a teacher was less about what he wanted to teach and more about what students needed to learn. Heinen, who taught for eight years ar Cascade M iddle School in Auburn, Wash., received a promotion to vice principal at Cascade at the beginning of t.he 2007-08 academic year. " I t's been a different transition," Heinen said, noting that the switch from classroom to administrator has been a challenge. At the same time, how ever, Heinen said his experiences as a teacher have p rovided h i m with i m por tan t insight.

"I know all of the challenges that our school faces, and I'll b e able to address some of them," Heinen said. For example, Heinen said he hopes to fosrer strong 1V0rking relationships between parel1ts, the community and

Holocaust Studies

continued from page 1 8

t h e h e l p o f t h e Powell fam ily, hopes that Holocaust studies can teach Stu dents to be fair, to be balanced and to be open mi nded. "My. hope is that the events that killed m em bers of my fam ily, as wel l as the fam ilies of millions of others, wil l lead PLU students who undertake this course o f study to lead ptoductive, tol e rant lives and serve as examples to oth e rs," Mayer said. "Nancy Powell and I h ave chosen to do this in an effort to reach Out and set an exa mple to our own chi l dren and to o u r own com munity. "In my 30-year association with PLU, I have learned that relationships that last are b u i l t on m utual respect. Relationship� req u i re that you strive fo r a h igher u nderstand ing of other people's fai t h , inte rests, needs and feel ings. Relationships req uire a sincere comm itment to make them work. "No m atter what our differences may be, we are all created in the image of the same God. Let us each fi nd God in o u r o\vn \vays .

Nallcy Powell said that her family m ission is to teach the history and les sons o f rhe Holocaust to students and ed ucators of a l l races and rei igious beliefs throughout the Pacific Northwest. "�le want to prevent i ts recurrence and create an understanding and mutu al respect for fu ture generations," she said. "Our support is i n honor of all th e m i llions of people who lost their lives i 11 the Ho locaust and su rvivors such as John and Georgette Heller, parents of Harry Heller." According to PLU Provost Patricia O'Connell Killen, fo r more than 30 years PLU h as been internationally known for F!olocaust studies and known also for its close relationship with the 10cal Jewish com munity. Judaism h as been taught in the PLU religion department by local rabbis all the way back to Rab b i Rosenthal. "EstabLishing endowed professorships nOt only allows the university to make a visib le commjtment to scholarly and teaching work that i s rooted in its mis sion, i t's also a way to highl igh t the aca demic excellence of the u n iversity through the talent of the �aculty who rece ive this recognition," Killen said.

The Mayer Professorsh ip is the sec ond such faculty endowment at PLU. In 2004 a gift from the Benson Fam ily Foundation of Portland, Ore.) created the fi rst fully funded endowed chair at P LU . The Benson Family C h ai r i ll. Busi ness and Economic Histo ry i s held by . Wayne Carp, a nationally recog nized au thority on the h i s tory of adoption.

'The Maye r Professorship allows the unive rsity to co ntinue to advance i ts sch olars hip and teaching in an area that has been considered imp ortant fo r a long time. Partic ularly with the wo rk of a fo rmer colleague, Christopher Browning, and now co ntinued by Robert Ericksen.) -PATRICIA O'CONNELL KILLEN "The Mayer Professorship allows the university to continue to advance its scholars hi p and teaching i n an area that has been considered important for a long time. Particularl y with the work of a fo rmer c o l league) Christop her B rowning, and now continued by Robert Ericksen( Killen said. History professor Wal ter Sch nackenberg first emphasized the scudy of the Holocaust at PLU. Wh en he died, PLU sought a successor and h i red Christopher B rowning. While at PLU h e p u b l i shed the groundb reaking "Ord i nary M en." The book h ighlighted the "ordinari ness" of the perpetratOrs of the Holocaust, who were nonetheless willing to kil l . The work changed the way Holocaust scholars looked at their fie ld. B rowning left PLU i n 1999 and now holds the Frank Porter G raham Chair III History at the University of North Caroli na, Chapel Hill.

He was replaced by Ericksen. Ill. November) E ricksen delivered the h igh ly p restigious Jose p h and Rebecca Meyerhoff A n nual Lecture at the United States Holocaust Memorial M useum in Wash ingtOn, D.C. He is the author o f "Theologians Under Hitler: Gerhard Kittel, Paul Althaus and Emanuel Hi rsch," which has been made into a documen tary fi lm. "That PLU i s a chu rch-related un iver sity with a dedication to Holocaust studies is impo rtant and unique," Ericksen said. " C h ri s Browning built such momen cum here and created this tremendous attention for PLU. Now when people th roughout the United S tates and in Europe hear Pacific Lutheran University, they recognize it as all. im portant center in Holocaust studies)" he said. Ericksen's work deals with the ways i n which theologians and Protestant ch urch leaders p articipated in the Nazi s tate and were temptcd to endorse, even enth usiastically support, the Nazi state, creating a certain complicity i n the Holocaust. "And that is an unpleasant story, of cou rse) if the Christian c h u rch would simply p refe r to bury or h ide rhe past," Eri cksen said. " When President Anderso n and the PLU h istOry department were willing to bring someone l ike me to raise these challenges, they recognized that was an appropriate t h i ng fo r a chu rch-related un iversity to do. I appreciate their sup POrt very m uch," he said. "This is a monumental occasion for the university," President Loren J. Anderson said. " Holocaust Scudies is not a new idea at PLU. It is an area of acad emic disti nc tion and excel lence that h as been built over the past three decades - mJ.de pos sible by the commitment and suppOrt of the university at all levels) by the remarkabl e leadcrs h i p of p rofessors C h risto p h e r B rowning and Robert Ericksen, and by the support of m any close friends of the university, as well as members of the Jewish com m unity. "And now we know that this distinc tion is secure fo r the universi ty. We wil l b e forever i n debt to the Mayer and Powell families and the other donors who h ave made [his professorsh ip pos sible," h e said. mJ

rab le experience fo r o u r s ruden ts. Many are surprised by the high poverty level of the school and commun ity, b u t th ey are inspired by the posi tive atti rude of the pri nci pal and the high expectations he places on the entire McIlvaigh com m u nity of studen ts, fac u l ty and s taff. Laura D ressler '08 writes: "Working at McLlvaigh was an amazing experience. The school itself is so diverse. The students are hard workers, and the staffhave invested their time and their lives into mak ing a difference in the community. Working at McIlvaigh felt like working with a family. Everyone has one set goal in mind - quality and effective education. The strategies used to communica.te with parents, engage fami lies, and support all staffand students were astounding. "

PLU s tude nts are paired with m iddle school students who be nefit from hav ing a mento r and role model. Our stu dents help with class work, work in small grou p s and respond to num er ous questions abour their l i fe experi ences . Commi tting time at McIlvaigh all ows our srudenrs to embrace the core values of service, care, compe tence, leadership and differences. The opportunity to work closely with middle school srudenrs also lets PLU students praCtice basic teach ing skills, develop authentic and caring relation s h ips, and d i s play a positive role model for adolesce n ts. This experience vivi dly illustrates how a su ppo rtive teacher can make a d i ffe rence i n the l i fe o f a schoo l child. Respecting and respond ing posi tively ro adolescents provides a positive foundatio nal experience fo r o u r SOEMS srudents. The m iddle school also benefits from the 1 ,000-plus vol u n teer hours from o u r education students. Dan D izon, the principal at Mdlvaigh, is quick to share the success o f h is srudents. He attrib u tes that success in part ro the s u p port of PLU studen ts. Last year, the school we nt from 12 percent of stu dents meeti ng standard on the Washingron Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) to 5 7 percenr meet ing standard on the reading portion of the test. Math i mprovement wasn't as dramatic, bur scores increased from 1 5 62 PLU SCENE WINTER 2007 > PERSPECTIVE

Working at McIlvaigh felt like working with a family. Everyone has one set goal in mind - quality and effective education. The strategies used to communicate with parents) engage families) and support all staffand students were astounding. ) -Laura Dressler J08 percenr to 30 perce n t meeting stan dard. In the i r roles as men tors and tutors, PLU students work hard i n these skill areas. They learn to embrace the school's mission statement: "\,!\lhere h igh expectations and teamwork resu l t i n success." Dan Dizon says, "We bel ieve that if we can dream it, we can ach ieve it." He is proud of the school 's impressive academic gai ns. He is also effu sive abou t PLU's involvem e n t i n and commitmenr to t h e school. It is nor o nly education students who are d rawn to McIlvaigh's commitment ro fu lfill its dreams of academic s uccess fo r all swdents . For example, foo tball players also commit time to working as mentors and role models to the middle school students. Our sruden ts are commi tted to val ues identi fied i n our long-range pl an, "PLU 2 0 1 0 ," o f leading lives of though tful inqui ry, service, leadersh ip

and care fo r other people, fo r their communities and for the earth. This co mmitment ro the students at McIlvaigh rep resents a recip rocal rela tionship. By working with middle school srudents, education students learn teaching skills when they tu tor, and they become compassionate and n u r t u ri ng teachers as they l isten and respond ro the l i fe sto ries o f i ndivid u als. They also develop an awareness of j ustice and equ i ty as they observe mul tiple ways in which the school commu n i ty overcomes obs racles as it works to i ncrease learning and decrease the achievement gap. Conversely, McIlvaigh students become more competent and ski lled in math and reading because of the i n te nse i ndividual i ns truCtion pro vided by PLU stude[1lts. Adolesce nts develop trust fo r adu l ts because of the respect and trust given by PLU s tu dents , and they can visualize academic accom p l ishment because of their inter aCtions and relationships with college s tu de nts who care abou t the i r success. Katie Redman, '08 provides some cul minating thoughts as she reflects on her experience: "A puzzle is a whole pictttre or concept,

made up of man)' interlocking pieces. Each piece is un ique with its own characteristics, color or shapes, yet when locked togethe1" tvith other unique pieces, it creates a whole. This is what comes to mind when J think of a school commun ity, and this is what J experi enced at McIlvaigh Middle School. "This was rewarding because J tvas allowed to experience a school immersed in cultural diversity. J was allowed to become involved in the lives ofstudents whose back grounds were varied and were so different than an)'thing J had experienced. J gained a new perspective, understanding and passion for diversit:y, and how importan t it is to embrace each student as an individual. This opportunity opened the doorfor me and allowed me to practice what J have learned and positively impact the iit'es of students.

Act Six targets inner-city students even high school seniors have been selected as the first cadre of Act Six scholars ro arrend PLU this fall. The Acr Six Leadership and Scholarship Initiative is a new p rogram at the university. I t idemifies promising studem leaders from urban Tacoma and Seatrle, and gives them the oppolTunity ro earn a fou r-year degree. PLU and Whitworrh Universir), in Spokane are the only Northwest schools participating i n the p rogram. Though PLU originally planned ro admit six studems. seven of the 20 final ists were selecred, said admission coun selor Bobby \�/alsron. Walsron was a member of the first Act Six cadre ro graduate from Whirworth last spring, and he recruited the first crew of stu dems ro PLU. "They really s rood out," he said. "We fel t like they can realily impact the campus and be successful as stu dents." The high schoolers endured a rigorous application process. In addition ro writ ten applications, finalists visited campus to interview with faculty and staff and write essays on-site. Created by fo rmer Lincoln High School teacher Tim Herron, Act Six is an initiative of the Northwest Leadership Foundation based in Tacoma. The pro gram is designed ro recruit and assist promising studems from urban environ mems, and created a nine-month train ing program that helps ensure students find success in school.

When the group wore their shi rts on a visit to the University of Sao Paolo, a Brazilian student became their informal tour guide. As he showed them around the campus, he explained the Brazilian higher education system. "There is so much opporcunity in this world - particularly when we open our selves up to talk about our differences, our similarities, and our hope for the future," M ulder said. "Dialogue is a powerful thing."

VC, Morken powered by wind turbines s ofJan. 1 , nearly 20 percent of the university's energy is being purchased from renewable sources. The commitment to purchase "green" energy stems from the culture of the uni versi ty, said Dave Kohler, director of facilities. Renewable energy is energy generated from natural sources that can not be depleted, like wind and solar power. Kohler points to the university's mis sion to "care for the earth." "It's been a focus of PLU even before we wrote it down," he added. "That's the culture. It's the best thing about PLU." The construction of the Morken Center for Learning and Technology essentially launched the idea to purchase renewable energy, Kohler explained. PLU designed the environmentally friendly building based on the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. The program certifies green buildings, in part by evaluating the commitment to pu rchase energy from renewable sources. The university will purchase renewable energy in the form of wind power. The University Center renovation pro vided another opportunity to incorpo rate LEED principles into the project. Among other sustainable features, the decision was made to also pu rchase renewable energy for the building. �

faculry-srudent research project in order to train a student in investigative jour-

nalism, and for the more practical con sideration of having help while "lugging the camera equipment around." The thousands of documents and hundreds of interviews by the pair were compiled and edited into the docu m entary that premiered in November at the Washington State H istory Museum in Tacoma. Called "Building Connections: Reclaiming the Lost Narratives of the Alaska Canada H ighway," the film chronicles the lives of the soldiers who built the highway, as well as the residents and First Nations people who were irrevoca bly changed by the project. The yearlong odyssey took the pair to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., up the Alaska-Canada H ighway twice, and to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers archives in Virginia. Their time was split between looking at pho tos and written archives, and interview ing \,\lorld War II veterans and their fam ilies, Native peoples of Canada and Alaska, U.S. and Canadian government officials, and historians. This year m arks the 66th anniversary of the highway, commonly referred to as the ALCAN. When the road was built in 1942 to help protect Canada and the United States, optimistic estimates indi cated the project could take three years. It was completed in just eight months. Inspired to bring attention to this story, Wells originally planned to focus on the racial implications associated with the African-American soldiers. This key part of the story is covered in the film. In [he winter, all the soldiers had to face temperatures that often dipped to 40 below. In the summer, it was mosqui to swarms. Long days and low pay were a year-round phenomenon. The African American soldiers dealt with the added burdens of racism and isolation. The military wouldn't allow the African-American troops into nearby towns. The soldiers had to contend with inadequate clothing, as many of the troops were from the South, along with insufficient housing and equipment. For

example, many resorted to cutting arms in their sleeping bags and wore them while working to keep warm in the freez ing temperatures. "I think it was a slap in the face at how segregated the army was at that time," Wells said. As Wells and Schrecengost dug deeper into the history of the highway, their original topic evolved to encompass how the road touched those who cOl1structed it and the communities it connected. "It's all the implica tions that one road really can have," Schrecengost explained. "I experienced the growth of one idea into a whole other thing." Schrencengost added that the experi ence has given her a new passion for research. It is another example of PLU's continuing commitment to the creation of opportunities in which students and faculty can work closely together on research and creative projects.

Long days and low pay were a year-round phenomenon. The African-American soldiers dealt with the added burdens ofracism and isolation. While at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., she was in awe of the huge building and the documents she was able to access. At 20 years old, she held files stamped "Top Secret." While the documents she looked at have since been declassified, the experience of seeing high-level gov ernment documents firsthand was amaz ing, she said. "Rob and I were in hog heaven," she said. "It made me feel very official and was a lot of fun. I had no idea that research could be so fun." At all the archives the pair visited, from the small one in the Yukon to the i mmense building in Wash ington, D.C., the staff was more than happy to have them poke around. "\Ve were pretty much given free rein,"

Wells said. "There was no problem with access. It was 'Here are the white gloves, take good care.'" To find the men who worked on the highway, Wells and Schrecengost contact ed World War II veterans and African American soldiers organizations. This is where the investigative journalism kicked 111 .

There were the blind phone calls, ask ing if so-and-so lived here or if the person on the other end of the phone was "the family of" so-and-so. "We were trying to find people who had more or less dropped off the radar screen," Wells explained. Fortunately, the pair m anaged to track down three former soldiers in Baltimore, all living within 15 minutes of each other. One of those soldiers, William E. G riggs, even lent them use of the photographs he took during his tour of duty in Alaska as the official Army Corps photographer. The documentary film has quickly caught the attention of regional and national press, as well as the academic community. Aside from showings at the history museum and the M useum of History Industry in Seattle, the pair presented their findings at the Association of Canadian Studies in the United States Toronto last fall and the Pacific Northwest Canadian Studies in Vancouver, B.C., in February. The Public Broadcasting Service, Seattle public television station KCTS and Tacoma p ublic television station KBTC have all shown interest in broadcasting the film. Tacoma's cable network Click! already broadcast the documentary in January. And the honors keep coming, as Schrecengost won a regional first place award from the National Broadcasting Society. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to do something like this," Schrecengost said. "I was very fortunate." [§J -Barbam Clements and Megan Haley

' In the In high scho ol, Lisa Vlieg '07 told her friends that one day they'd see her on the Discovery Channel. While her dream has yet to come true, the recent graduate may be one step closer after spending five weeks this fall in Egypt's famed Valley of the Kings. Vlieg accompanied Faculty Fellow Don Ryan '79 and his team to the ancient burial ground for the seventh field season of the Pacific Lutheran

University Valley o f the Kings Project. She joined Ryan's team as the registrar, in charge of accurately documenting all the objects found in the tombs.

those tombs we fo und interesting surprises. The fact is that all o f this s tuff is in the Valley o f the Kings - everybody b uried there and everyth ing done there is pretty darn special." Perhaps the team's biggest surprise came this past summer, when Egyptian authorities iden tified one of the mummies Ryan rediscovered as Egypt's most famous female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, who ruled fro m around 15 02 to 1 482 B.C. Her royal tomb was found in the early 1 900s, bur her mummy wasn't i n it. In 1 9 03, Howard Carter - famous for finding King Tutkanhamun's tomb in the 1 9 20s - discovered the tomb des ignated KV 60. The burial chamber contained a coffined mummy and another on the floor. After the coffined mummy

Conceived in 1 989 by Ryan, the PLU Valley o f the Kings Project focuses on exploring and study ing the more obscure tombs in the valley. Most were burial sites for Egypt's elite, but not necessarily fo r its royalty.

Enter Ryan and his team. On the PLU project's first day of digging in 1 989, Ryan fo und the tomb's entrance using only a broom. He approximated its location from Carter's notes. "People think I have a special touch for finding things," Ryan said. "I'd say it's more of doing one's homework than any thing mystical ."

I I The team's most recent expedition i n November was slated t o b e its last. Five of the tombs had been thoroughly exam ined, and Ryan planned to complete his study of the final tomb, KV 27. JUSt as things were winding down, they fo und human remains while excavaring the tomb's final chamber and uncov ered new revelations from previollsly fo und artifacts.

"Egyptians had a lot to con tribute ro that," he said. "It's a very fe rtile ground for learning a tremendous amount about the h u man past. Even before they were building pyram ids, there's this whole process where people went fro m h u nting and gathering ro developing agri culture to developing these complex societies, of which Egypt is. So it's sort of a laboratory of h u man history." \l;lh ile the hisrorical significance of Egypt isn't lost on Vlieg, her favorite part of the experience was working side-by-side with many of the world's most prominent archaeologists.

"There was nothing in the romb that could indicate the iden tity of any specific individual," Ryan said. "Our conclusion was that it's possible i t was Hatshepsur." The mummy remained in KV 60 u n cil this past spring, when it was one of four candidates shipped ro Cairo for examination. Egyptian authori rie!i suspected it might be Hatshepsut. By a stroke of luck, Egyptian scientists discovered a molar

During the fishing season, the airpol'[ serves thousands of fishermen and cannery workers who come to make good money doing hard and dirty work. Like most Alaskan youth who endure nearly 24-hour dark and cold during the winter months, Zach spent most of his free time in a gymnasium. I n small communities like Gambell and Naknek, basketball and wrestling are the sPOrts of choice for kids. In fact, they are about the only sports available because they take place indoors. To be success ful in both sports is considered unusual i n the lower 48 states, but it is a fairly normal occurrence in Alaska. "About every kid gets in the gym whether he's good or not," Zach said. "We grew up in the gym. Especially on Se. Lawrence Island, it was something to do inside."

(1 didn )t plan on pLaying

basketball here) 1 didn Jt have a desire atfirst, but 1 got in the gym and shot around a few days. I watched some of these guys play and had a feeling that 1 could play with them. ))

-Zach Klein As a freshman, Zach embarked on a high school sPOrtS career that would earn him accolades nOt only in basket ball but also in wrestling. As a 6-foot-l inch junior a t Bristol Bay High School, Zach averaged approximately 22 points and 1 2 rebounds and was voted as the state's Class l A-2A Player of the Year. That same year, as a 1 7 1 -pound wrestler, he finished second in the state tournament. The following year, Zach applied and was accepted to Me. Edgecumbe High School, a state-funded boarding school in sou theast Alaska. With an enroLl ment of approximately 400 students in ninth through 1 2 th grades, the school

offered Zach a higher level of athletic compe tition than he had at Naknek. As a senior at Mt. Edgecumbe, Zach earned 2006 second team all-state basketball hon ors, was select ed to the aUtournament squad and led his team to a third-place state tourna ment finish. When not play ing basketball, h e turned to wrestling, where he won the state 189pound championship. PLU head coach Steve Dickerson first heard about Zach from his father, Stephen, who suggested his son might be able to play basketball for the Lutes. "His dad said he was a wrestler and a basketball player," Dickerson recalled. " Righ t away you think, that's an odd combination." Zach applied to PLU, but u'ltimately enrolled at Fort Lewis College i n Durango, Colo., because o f a tuition waver for Native Americans. He did not plan to play coLlegiate basketball. His journey took a tragic tum, however, when his father drowned in July 2006, a month before he was set to leave for college. He still left fo r college. But after near ly two months, he decided to leave Fort Lewis College. "It was too soon after my father's death to be away from home," he recalled. "1 needed some time with my family." It was the Spanish teacher at Bristol Bay High School who convinced Zach's mother to reconsider PLU. She did. So did Zach, who enrolled fo r the fall 2007 semester at PLU. "I didn't plan on playing basketball here," Zach said. "I didn't have a desire at first, but I got in the gym and shot around a few days. I watched some of these guys play and had a feeling that I could play with them."

In fact, Zach is the only member of the I S -mem ber team who was not actively recruited to play for the Lutes. "He was unsure when he came out (for the team), but through the rap port he's devel oped with his teammates, he's gaining confi dence," Dickerson said. "The kids like him and he likes the team. It's good for every body in the pro gram." What Dickerson espe cially likes about Zach is his matu rity, which developed through adversity. In addition to losing his father, Zach's 2 I -year-old brother Peter has Down syn drome. Zach often talks with his moth er, who still lives with the family in Naknek. "I think she's happy for me, but at the same time I think she misses me," Zach said. "He knows what real adversity is," Dickerson added. "Real adversity is not how many minutes you play or don't play in a basketball game. Real adversity is having a father die and having a brother with Down syndrome." As Zach adjusts to the competitive level of Division III basketball, he will likely see more playing time. "He has worked hard and he asks questions and tries to do what you tell him to do," Dickerson said. "He does have th(' ath letic talent that can make him success ful at this leve1." For Zach, all of the hardships he's endured and the long hours he's spent i n gyms on dark Alaska nights are worth it. "It's an honor to play college basket ball," he said. Even if he doesn't achieve basketball stardom at PLU, Zach has already proven that while it might be hard to get to Naknek from here, it's not hard to get to PLU from Naknek. 1m

zine's Nurse of rhe Year. Upon graduarion, Samms served in several health care capaci ties, including stints as a floor nurse and an in-home care provider. For the last five years, Samms has worked as an educarion director at Tacoma General Hospiral. She is currently direcror o f educarion services for MulriCare Health System's Institute for Learning and Development. In January 2007, she was nomi足 luted fo r tbe Nurse\Veek award by her peers. Samms won the regional award, then flew to Las Vegas for the national gathering. Sbe won that, too. Samms credits teamwork for ber achievement of the honor. "When you can work with a

team, day in and day out, and see that su ccess," Samms said, "you know you all deserve it." When the opportunity arose co join the Institute for Learning and Development, Samms questioned the change because she enjoyed the ability to direcrly affect the lives of others. Ins tead, Samms has fo und a sense of comfort in her new positio n. Specifica.Lly, she enjoys seeing change in adults as they learn new tech niques. Samms has taugh t thousands of nurs es who have passed through Mu lti Care's program. In 2006 alone, 230 nurses wen t through residency, a major acco mplishment for Samms and her team. Samms again credits her education with providing her with a thirst for knowledge. "PLU," Samms said, "was the most remarkable thing for me."

Hertzberg Rare Coins i n Tacoma. "I fo und myself intrigued by both the coins and the indus try," he said. "It seemed right CO me, so I decided co give it a shoe." The company grew q u ickly, and in 1 9 90 was named by Inc. Magazine as one of the fas ting-growing small com panies in the United States. That same year, he bought-our his partner and renamed the business Pin nacle Rarities, based in Lakewood, Wash., and focused the company on high-end collectors and investors. "I q u ickly acquired an appreciation for the history and artistry of coins, and more important, I fo und I loved dealing with colleerors," Imhof said.

In 1 993, at the age of only 25, Im hof became one of the youngest dealers ever accepted as a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild. In 2005, Imhof made headlines when he purchased, on behalf of a collector, a 1 92 7 $20 gold piece fo r $ 1 .9 million. It still remains the world-record price fo r a single-issue coin in a public auction. Since then, Imhof has sold items of greater val ue, including a large collec tion fo r over $ 1 5 million. Curre nrly, Imhof is vice president of Dallas-based Heritage Auerion G alleries. He handles the accounts of Heri tage's high net worch clients, and oversees the company's transactions involv ing complex financial arrange ments. At Pinnacle, Imhof oversaw about 10 employees and did about S25 million worch of business a year. Heritage has more 1 933 Babe Ruth All-Star G a m e jersey.

Kennedy's rocking chai r from the White House, Buzz Aldrin's memo rabilia from his Apollo moon missions, a Chagall painting, a Babe Ruth All-Star jersey and U lysses S. Grant's Civil War sword - which sold fo r $ 1 . 5 million. Then there are the items that are also expensive, bur as Imhof notes, less seri ous. Items such as Anna Nicole Smith's personal diary, which sold for more than $50,000; a lock of Cuban revolu tionary leader Che Guevara's hair, sell ing fo r $ 1 00,000; and a rare "Bride of Frankenstein" poster fo r more than $300,000. In total, I mhof spent 18 months at PLU. H e recalls his college years as one of fi nding focus, despite a lack of moti vation academically. "I just couldn't find an area that in terested me," he said. "But I credit a co uple of PLU professors for figuring out a way CO inspire my learning, includ ing Dick Olufs and Ann Kelleher." He also met his wife, Heidi Nuss '88, at PLU. The cou ple have three children, Nicholas, 7, James, 6, and Madison, ! . "Certainly, the historical significance and artistic beaury of many of these coins holds appeal to me," Imhof COI1cluded.

"Trading precious metals, along with buying and selling very rare and expen sive items and working with astute col lector-investors is a great job, and I'm fo rrunate to love what I do."

Crystal Aikin named 'Sunday Best' on BET n Dec. 4, Crystal Aikin '97 was crowned the winner of Black Entertainment Television's "Sunday Best." Aikin was selected from thousands of contestants nationwide to perform on the show, a gospel version of Fox's pop ular singing competition "American Idol." For the grand finale, fans took over the judging, voting for the winner by phone and online. Aikin received the majority of the 1 .5 million votes. Prior to the finale, Aikin returned to her alma mater. In a jam-packed Columbia Center, she sang a medley of songs, thanked the community fo r their support and signed autographs. "I'm ready for the challenge," Aikin said at the event, "If I'm so chosen to be 'S unday Best,' I'm excited and ready. " With the win, Aikin received a record ing contract with Zomba Gospel, a new car and $300,000 tagged for com muni ty improvement, which she plans to donate to her church, Christ Life Center Church in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood, and to other local chari ties. "It has been a faith walk," Aikin said. "You just don't know what the next step is going to be, but you are just trusting in God that yo u know he's going to order every one of the steps." Born and raised in Tacoma, Aikin is an emergency room nurse in the area and is the daughter of retired PLU nursing professor Shirley Aikin. -k!egan Haley

"We think grace is like water," Rocke said. "It runs downhill and pools up in the lowest places. So, if you want lots of grace, then you have to look in the low places." Through contacts in Guatemala, Rocke created a Web store called www.mttdstore.com that sells local coffee called Blue Note and art created by leaders at CTM. All of the proceeds pay for their work around the world. Rocke also has enlisted the help of other Lutes. Joel Zylstra 'OS and spouse, Amanda Halverson Zylstra '04, are CTM interns in Nairobi, Kenya, a city riddled with poverty, and more recently, violence over the country's elections. "We're not just dealing with hurting people," Rocke said. "We're addressing the systems that are producing the con ditions that are so chronic in these places." After leaving PLU in the mid-80s, Rocke earned a Master's of D ivinity at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He later received a doc torate from Seattle's Bakke Graduate University of M inistry. Rocke lives in Tacoma with h is wife and two sons.

E n d ow m e nt s u p p o rt e n s u re s g rowth of ' i nte l l e ctu a l c a p ita l' h roughout PLU's history, thou sands of alumni and friends of the univers ity have been remarkably generous in p roviding the finan cial resources that have helped the uni versity succeed. Th is kind of broad support made possible the construction of the first b uilding o n campus, Old Main (now Harstad Hall), and the latest, the Morken Center for Learning and Technology, as wel l as many of the buildings in between. S i milar gifts fo r scholarships for students and support for academic programs and activities have enabled the university to excel i n ways that i t otherwise co uld not afford. Provost Patricia O'Connell Killen believes that endowment gifts are par ticularly i mportant in support of aca demics and mission, as they provide a steady stream of resources that the uni versity can use to invest in what she calls its "intellectual capital." " Endowed gifts are one way that the university ensures that it can carry o n i ts mission i n t h e world," K i l l e n said. " Endowment gifts provide both a cer tain fiscal flexib ility and long-term sta bility, giving the university the capacity to be nimble and adaptive as it posi tions itself for the fu ture. "Faculty are the i ntellectual capital of a university and just as capital invest ment is i mportant to any organization, to be vigorous and powerfully effective we must invest in our faculty." Gifts to the endowment are never spent. Rather, a portion of the invest ment income from these gifts is used to support the univers iry's mission and educational programs. The universiry's endowment has grown significantly in recent years from $8 million i n the early 1 990s to more than $68.5 million today. Deferred gifts and pledges to the endowment now total nearly $ 100 million. In keepi ng with the objectives speci fied in the universiry's long-range p lan "PLU 2 0 1 0: The Next Level of Distinction" and under Killen's leader-

ship, the academic sector has set out six areas in which fu ture endowment gifts are cri tical to advancing the quality and distinctiveness of the universiry's aca demic program: Endowments with a particular global emphasis in faculty development, cur riculum development and expanding srudy-abroad opportunities; Support for studen t-faculty research opportunities that will enhance the educational experience of students and faculty working together one on-one and i n small groups to delve deeply into critical issues across the cu rriculum; Institutionalizing The Wild Hope Project, the core of PLU's commit-

ment to academic excellence, pur poseful learning and care for other people, their co m munities and the earth; Named faculty chairs and endowed professorships to bring p ublic recog nition to the university and its pro grams as well as salary support, trav el, research stipends and program ming funds for faculty members; Faculty develo pment funding to provide educational, scholarly, pro fessional and artistic, and leader ship development opportu nities for faculty; and Sponsorship for major symposia, annual lectures, seminars and work shops that are crucial to a flourish ing academic culture and extend the explicitly academic resources of the university out into the community. "I can't emphasize enough how impor tant these development opportunities for academics and mission are," Killen said. "They make it possible for PLU to move into the fu ture with it's own kind of Wild Hope, profoundly rooted in its Lutheran tradition of higher education." Killen calls PLU a global university - on the Pacific Rim, in the Pacific Northwest, in the 2 1st century - that is positioned to make a difference in the world. "Our faculty and students walk freely into the world, don't blink at the prob lems and come up with creative solu tions that nudge human existence in the direction of flourishing rather than foundering," she said. "Ultimately that is the profound mission that our donors have supported and will contin ue to support." ill

1IIE AII1I � PW __ _ _ IJ

ve continuedfrom back page the mystery behind a vast u niverse. My guess is that when a problem is so hard, anyone's answer is as good as any one else's. That is why difficult prob lems appear so easy. That does not explain why a particular answer exists (such as "kill all the Xs, and then all the world's troubles will go away"), or why those who devise the answer are so sure it is correct. I think it is because we receive these answers almost u ncon sciously from our environment, before we are m ature enough ro ask questions. I'll illustrate with a little history. In the m id- 1 7th century, China changed fro m the Ming to the Qing Dynasty. Dynasty changes were always a big upheaval. Lots of people died, for all kinds of grand reasons. But I am not going to tell you about grand reasons. I am going to tell you about a change in hairstyles. Duting the M ing Dynasty men grew their hair long. The Qing Dynasty's ruler ordered men to shave their fore heads and braid the rest of their hair

behind. The rule was very strict: E i ther shave your forehead or lose YOut head. And lose their heads many did willingly. This was about ancestral tradition, something the Chinese will die for. Three h u ndred years later, the Qing Dynasty came to an end. By then, many refused to cut their pigtails because now pigtails were an ancestral tradition. This is the power of tradition. No ques tion is asked; no reason is needed. We are fed beliefs fro m the environ ment into which we are born. Without them we cannot possibly function. But automatic, u nconscious acceptance of beliefs can m islead us to think that these beliefs are eternal and unques tionably true. Therefore, we have to learn that our environment, cultural or physical, has not always been, and will not always be, as we see it today. E instein's theory of space and time was so shocking because we thought we knew everything about it since child hood. We thought continents had always been in their present locations.

Abstract painting was rejected at first, because it did not look "real." Almost every new religion experienced oppres sion in its infancy, but most turned around to suppress other new ones. One of the crucial duties of a teacher is to help students examine their ideas and beLiefs: Where did they come from, what was their basis, are they still rele vant, do they do harm? Teachers do not ask you to abandon your beliefs. They don't know everything or h ave every answer. But they have learned that a healthy dose of skepticism, toward our selves, will make our minds more nim ble. It will help us all get along better in this shrinking world. Teaching skepticism can be a haz ardous task. Ask Socrates, who died for it. Teachers fare slightly better in our time. Still they may face grumpy stu dents, angry parents or threatening school boards. It is a tribute to the h u m an spirit that these threats have not deterred people fro m choosing the teaching profession. Next time you hear something fro m your teacher that counters your beliefs, be thankful that someone is still willing to risk challeng ing you. Remember, though, not to be para lyzed by self-examination. Our knowl edge is necessarily incomplete; we may not be right. But in life, we must act. The point is that we must always be ready to admit that we don't have all the truth, especially when an action could cause more damage. Self-reflection sometimes has surpris ing results. An old monk once said, "Thirty years ago I looked at mountain as mountain, water as water. Later I looked at mountain not as mountain, water not as water. Now again I look at mountain as mountain, water as water." You may, after deep self-examination, come to an affirmation of your beliefs. Like the old monk, you h ave reached a more mature state of affirmation. You have a firmer grip of what you believe, and you understand other points of view better because you were there once. I]]

C h a n g -Ii Yiu, prOfessor e m e ritus of mathematics a n d physics, beli eves the key to knowl e d g e is b e i n g re a d y to admit that we don't have all the truth.

By Chang-li Yiu often fi nd that when a topic should be easy to understand, most people think it is difficu lt. When a topic should be difficult, most people think they know all the answers. Fundamental physics deals with exceed ingly simple subjects. Take the hydrogen atom, the s implest atom one can have: A single electron running around a single proton_ Because i t is simple, modern quantum field theory can predict some o f its properties with fantastic accuracy. It is si mple to learn how it is done. In a graduate physics program, you would learn q u antum field theory and be able to produce the results. Although the

calculation looks long i f you've had o n ly high school algebra, every step leading to the final result is trivially understand able. But how many people would think it is easy? \Vhen new acquaintances at parties find out I am a physics professor, they laugh and say something like, " Well, I never did well in math! " They are not embarrassed, as they would be were the subject politics o r religion. This implies that physics is hard. WeH, how about poli tics? It involves culture, histo ry, eco nomics, psychology and more. Yet almost all people think they have the solutions to poli tical problems, even

though they might at times concede they don't know all the facts. When i t comes to religion, practically everyone - even those who may not be able to learn to solve the simplest alge b raic equations - has a direct line to God or Allah or Buddha. They all know the intentions o f the master of the uni verse, down to which football team He supports. They have absolutely correct answers to all religious questions. To me, religion should be the most d i ffi cult subject conceivable. We live on a speck of dust, yet try to comprehend continued on page 38

Students return to New Orleans to continue recovery effort ifteen students and three staff members traveled to New Orleans over spring break, contin u ing the recovery effort in a c i ty still struggling to rebuild nearly three years after H urricane Katrina. The alternative spring b reak trip was organized by Campus M in istry and sponsored by University Congregation. The PLU group volunreered th rough Lutheran D isaster Respo n se in New Orleans and s tayed in volunteer lodging at Grace Evangelical Lu theran Church. Throughour the week, srudents and staff members worked non-stop gutting and painting homes. They worked alongside hu rricane survivors, who will in gly shared their harrowing stories. The group recorded their thoughts and expe riences, and posted photos to thcir blog at bttp:!/plullola. blogspot. comj.

"They like people w norice them, even with a smile. The worst reanion is when people prerend that rhey don't exist." The theme of individual respons ibility reappeared again five months later during rhe Wang Center symposium on global health. Stephen Lewis challenged his lis ten ers to nor become hardened against the daily news feed of children dying, women being mis treated or the desecration of the envi ro nment. Lewis is the former United Nations AIDS envoy to Africa. He is currendy the professor of global health w the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York and co-director o f AIDS- Free \Vorld, an AIDS advocacy organizarion. Speaking to a packed audiwriul11, Lewis recoun ted the defining moment in his career. It came wh ile touring a pediatric AIDS ward in Africa, where he noticed every crib was filled with rhree, four, five babics, most infecred wirh AIDS and clinging to life. Then a shril�k made h i m freeze and snap h is artcnrion to rhe corner of the room. A young mother was wail i ng. Her child had jusr died. This happened every 10 min urcs in this ward. G iven rhar rhe rransmission of AIDS from morher to infan r i s en tirely

preventable, Lewis said he was disgusted that this scene, played out ever day, was allowed w co ntinue. On wp of the AIDS pandemic, l O million children under the age of five die each year of entirely preventable diseases. That's 27,000 children a day. " H as the world gone mad�" he asked. " How is it okay to live with this?" Even before the recent crisis of rice sho rtages around the world, Lewis noted in February that major food programs have had to halve rheir allotment of food to developing countries. He c i ted a of lack of interest or suppOrt from developing nations, including the Unired States. One of the most i mportant issues facing the world today, Lewis insisted, was gender equality. Around the world, women lack schooling, are forced inw marriages as young gi rls, endure genital mutilation and face systemaric rape and b u tchelT in places l ike the Congo. This mistreatment of women can be tied back to poverty, hu nger and environmental degradation, he said.

Stephen Lewis challenged his listeners to not become hardened against the daily news feed ofchildren dying, women being mistreated or the dese cration ofthe environment. Women's rights and women in power were also addressed by such speakers as Brenda Miller, who read from her book "Season o f the Body," and a brash talk by Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner on bel' push co secure righ ts for working mothers. SUt Jhally, the fo under and executive direcco r of the Media Education Foundation, u rged men co seriously consider how male gender roles can contribute in violence against women. Jhally spoke at PLU's first Men Against Violence conference. Those who would h ave us think about economics also visited campus. U C LA professor Naom i R. Lamoreaux

spoke on how corporations can be destroyed by greedy managers, while "the father of supply-side eco nom ics," economist Arth u r Laffer, talked in March abo u t his views on the currenr cli mate of recession, deficits and tax sti mulus packages. On Earth Day, Pulitzer Prize winning poet Mary Oliver remarked she could COUnt on the PLU audience to appreciate her sense of humor, even though she'd encountered audiences in other states thar did nor. She pushed her listeners to rhink and not sleepwalk through life. Bookending the year, speakers again focused on the clout of rhe ind ividual. In early Nove mber, Peter Metzelaar talked about choices his mother made in the winter of 1 944 to escape rhe Nazis and lead her son to safety. The twO fi rst hid in a cave and then a room in Hauge. When h is mother discovered informants were planning to disclose thei f whereabours, she disguised herself as a Red Cross nurse and led her son to a new safe house. Metzelaar reco unted his story at the first Powell and Heller Family Conference i n SuppOrt of Holocaust Education. The year wrapped up i n April with a talk by Carl Wilkens, the only American to remain in Rwanda through the 19 94 genocide that claimed one million lives. Wilkens discussed the choice he made to stay, even as other relief and aid workers fled. During the rhree months of violence, Wilkens helped save 400 orphans rargeted to be hacked to death by local militia bands. He stressed that relationships and the willingness co stand firm helped h i m survive t h e horror and be a t peace with his decision to stay. "You need to realize the potential of taking that first step," he said. The PLU tradition of hosting major symposia, annual lectures, seminars and workshops is crucial co a flourish ing academic culture. These events provide a fo rum fo r fac ulty and visiting scholars to share knowledge, engage studenrs in non-classroom settings and extend the acade mic resou rces of the university out into the community. m:J

Building relationships, building scholars Studentjaculty research reception

BY M E G A N H A LEY A N D E R S O N

cademic posters, scholarly articles and videos illustrated the imellectual l i fe of the university at the third annual Studen t-Faculty Research Reception on Apri l 24. Sponsored by the Office o f the Provost, the reception is j us t one venue where facu l ty and s tudent researchers disp lay their work and explain the intt·i cacies of the collaborative research rep resented. This year's reception featured 24 projects from the hu manities, social sciences and natural sciences divisions, and the School of Business. "The heart of the university is its intel lectual l i fe, which i s invisible," said Patricia O'Connell Ki llen, p rovost and dean of graduate studies. "The research reception is one of the best ways we have of displaying the really exciting thinking and problem-solving and framing of new knowledge that our students engage in with faculty." Geosciences professor Jill Whitman added chat tangible representations of the research work, such as posters and papers, are an important part of the process - not a diabolic plot hatched by p rofessors to torture students. Decisions m us t be made about what to include and how to present the i n formation. More importantly, presentation op por tuniti.es provide students with experience explaining their work in a variety of set tings, from PLU-sponsored events to professional conferences, said Neal Yakelis, assistant p rofessor of chemis try. " People rend to think of research as scientists in white lab coars locked up in a lab," Yakelis said. " B ut the develop ment of scientific ideas really happens in and Out of the lab. You have to be able to communicate well to exp lain the significance of your work to col leagues and to the public."

14 PLU SCENE SUMMER 2008 > FEATURES

Studen ts spend anyw here from a few months to a year or more working on p rojects wi th faculty. Many travel beyond the boundaries o f campus to conduct research or share their work at professional conferences. For example, Ch ris Hamre '07 and chemistry p ro fessor Dean Waldow spent nearly two-and-a-half years examining polymer blends using dynamic light scattering and cloud point measure ments. In that ti me, the twO traveled to the University of Minnesota, where Hamre gOt hands-on experience using spec ialized equip ment, and p resented at a national conference i n New O rleans. According to Killen, one of the early fields to develop undergraduate collabo rative projects was chemistry. It provi ded a model for similar endeavors in other disciplines, such as the social sciences and humanities. Undergraduate research is an initiative at colleges and universi ties across the nation, and it's also a key element in PLU's strategic plan, "PLU 20 1 0: The Next Level of Distinction." Currenrly, three endowments for col laborative research exist: the Kelmer Roe Research Fellowship in. the humanities, the Severtson/Forest Foundation Fellowship in the social sciences and the Undergrad uate Research Fund in the natural sciences. Kdlen said the goal by 20 1 0 is to have endowments for all PLU's schools and divisions. " Endowment fu nds are the engine behind us," Killen said. The funds pro vide studenr and faculty stipends and cover research and travel costs. " \Vhen donors choose a student-facul ty research en dowment as one of their options, they are making it possible for PLU to do the type of integrated teach ing, learning, research, p u blic engage ment that is essential to the university carrying out its mission," she continued.

Among the many donors in atten dance were Naomi and Don Nothstein, founders of the Kelmer Roe Research Fellowship in the h umanities. Named for Naomi's father, who taught G reek, religion and ph ilosophy at PLU, the fel lowship is one of only two in the region dedicated to the hu manities. The other is at Reed College in Portland, Ore. The Nothsteins originally planned to fund a scholarship. Ultimately, they decided on the fellowship because of the collaborarive nature of the research, and the benefits students reap from the scholarly work and the strong relation ships they build with faculty members. "To get into a good graduate school," Don Nothstein said, naming some of the top schools in the cou ntry, "to have something likc this, especially i f i t gets published, is nccessary." Past Kclmer Roe fellowship recipients Doug Oaknun, dean of the hu manities division, and Ronan Roone), '07 recently accomplished that feat when their co authored paper, "The Social O rigins o f Q : Two Theses in a Field o f Conflicting Hypotheses," appeared in the s u m mer issue of the Biblical Theology B u l letin. These types of p rojects demonstrate a student's ability to think like a scientist and connect theory to practice. Beyond that, it trains students to think critical ly. "It's one of the ways they develop h abits of mind that are connected to being good citizens, too, because research q uestions are rarely neat," Killen said. The p rocess of developing a hypothe sis, and determining how to explore that question and collect data, may look like a method useful only in academic researc h . However, Killen contends it's a central skill fo r people living in a demo cratic society and thinking through p ublic issues. ffil

E n d o wm e nt fo r s c h o l a rs h i p s: a d i re ct i n vestm e nt i n stu d e nts gnes Berge Smith graduated from Pacific Lutheran College i n 1 932 with a vision. During the spring of that year, she traveled with the Choir of the West to sing at the Chicago World's fair. The trip was the premier occasion of what she called m any "liberating experiences" that she had while srudying music here. S m i th never forgot (he powerful influence the PLC experience had fo r her and she was determined to ensure that future music studenrs' lives were couched in a si milar way. In 2000, the estate o f Agnes Berge S mith left $2.5 million to fund 1 6 music scholarships a t PLU. These merit based awards now enable the university to attract the most talenred students to its music program. And in recogn ition of the importance to Smith of the Chicago choir tour, a portion of her gift supports music group rravel. Now, with her help, sru denrs in the four m ajor performing ensembles have the opportunity to trav el and perform abroad at least once dur ing their four years at PLU. "En hancing the endowmenr for the fi nancial suppOrt of students is critical to ensuring access to college for all, regardless of their econo mic standing," said Karl Srumo, vice president for admission and enrollmenr services. "It also enables the university co am-act a diverse group of highly-quali fied students, and enrich their educa tional experiences." The Agnes Berge S mith Music Scholarship is a good example. "It's one of the most prestigious music scholarships offered, and is the largest fi nancially," Stllmo said. "To be recognized as what studenrs call an 'ABS Scholar' bri ngs them both prestige among their peers and much needed financial support." Endowed scholarships also give donors a way to feel that they are mak ing a direct investmenr in students who are highly talenrcd academically, who are in financial need or who have spe22 PLU SCENE SUMMER 2008 > GIVING BACK

A ranching family and their 'holy cow' moment s Clarice Swanson '89 walks i n the barn located on h e r family's 400-acre Walla Walla cattle ranch, her mind isn't on the hundred or so Herefords and Black Angus chewing on new grass just down the road. It's on the tiny balls of grey striped fluff peeping at her feet. These turkey chicks, or polts, represent one of the few Unimproved Standard Bronze flocks on the West Coast. Even if the chicks or the if parents didn't have the shelter of a barn ro escape the snow-tinged wind outside, they'd survive on their own, Swanson notes proudly. All told, about 1 00 of these chicks will be carefully nurtured through the sum足 mer and fall. Then, they will grace holi-

guided the ranch to produce mainly organic beef, as well as organic chicken, pork, lamb and tlll-key. Joel Huesby recounrcd the "holy cow" moment 1 0 years ago rhat prompted the family decision to go organic: The ranch had received a cow that was barren. "So we decided to ear her," Huesb), said. The cow had been raised on grass alone, without the supplemcnts and fillers typically found at feedlots. The meat was less greasy a n d tasted great. The family - which includes Joel's wife Cynthia Huesb)', Clarice's husband Keith Swanson '89, and Brian and Jenny Huesby - decided to give organic and sustainable ranching a go. The ranch has been certified organic for the last six years, but e.ven before cer足 tification, Joel Huesby and Clarice Swanson stressed the century-old ranch has always been about stewardship of the animals, the soil and the general environment.

It can take up to three years to raise beef on organic cattle before they are ready fo r processing and end up on a din ner plate, as compared to 1 5 months in a feedlot, Joel Huesby said. B u r the trade off is worth ic. Once the land returns to its natural cycles and is weaned off expensive and corrosive pesticides and fe rtilizers, the soil is more ptoductive. In turn, the ani mals are healthier, he said, with all the fervor of a reviva list preacher. For Keith and Clarice Swanson, return ing home to Wal la Walla was part of the natural cycle as well. Both graduated from PLU with degrees in education. For the next 1 5 years, Keith taught English in the Federal Way School District, while Clarice taught music in the Highline School Districc before becoming a s cay at-home mom. When a l O-acre spread became available next to the family ranch, the Swansons J umped at the chance to go i nto the busi ness and embrace a new way of life.

"We'd taught for years, i t was time to cry something else," Keith Swanson said. "This way our flve kids could run atound, and they love all che wide open spaces." Keith Swanson is the ranch's marketing and sales director, and every other week, he takes meat over to buying clubs in che Se:lttle area. That i ncludes the tu rkeys, which C larice Swanson rescued from an Oregon farmer who was tired of raising the birds and was going to slaughter the loc of them. The birds are closely related to their wild cousins, and she's looking for others in che state who share her pas sion for raising the birds and are interest ed in diversifying the flock. "These are really the domestic version of the wild turkey," she said, watching as the adults preened their iridescent feath ers in the weak spring s unlight and eyed a photographer suspiciously. "They can cake care of themselves."

the existing p rogram i n visual arcs and design. The decision co add a second full-time arc h iscorian co the departmenc - the posi tion I curremly hold - was the first step in establishing the arc h isco ry degree p rogram and addressing growing scudcn t inceresc. B u t designing an an hiscory major m eant more than meeting student demand. It also required us co thi n k carefu l ly abou t where our strengths lie and how those strengths could best be inccgrated with the p rograms that PLU, the Departmem of Arc, and the School of Arts and Commun ication al ready had in p lace. During my ini tial brainscorming, the d riving question became, "What does arc h i s cory mean co me?" I admit, I was caught off guard by the q u estion. After years of scudying, thinking, teaching and writing about the subject, I fo und myself far from a working defin i tion of my d iscipline as I accually p racticed ic. After all, what, exact ly, is arc h is cory good for? Why is i t worch teaching) And, why is i t a program that PLU s hould embrace) As an art hisco rian, I try co understand the art object i n comexc. I consider the visual characteristics of the object itself, as wel l as the artist's intent, how the work of arc is exh ibi ted, and how it is received by the pu blic. I tend co consider art as not only an aesthetic expression, but also as an index of social and cu l cu ral change. In my own scholarly work, for exam p le, I co mpare art made in East Germany and West G e rmany over fo ur decades of division and since Germany's unification in 1990. What d rives my i ncerest in t h is subject is the Germans' ongoing ime rrogation of their national past through art, whether it's the legacy of National Socialism or the tensions that remain after 40 years of division in eastern and western states. At its best, art hiscory should make us cu rious abou t the past as wel l as the presem, just as it expands o u r appreciation and understanding of a wide spectrum of aesthetic objects. The arcists I study are sensitive recorders and incerpreters of their everyday

All of this soul-search ing had a significan t p lace in my considerations abo u t the introduction of an art h istory major at PLU. B u t establishing the p h ilosop h ical basis of teaching the subject was only the first step. The second - and arguably the more i mportant - was co determine, what, exactly, would be the p ractical application of that phi losophy. To begin with, we chose co focus on our teaching and research strengths and created a course of study that com bines h iscorical and comempo rary elemems. Both my colleague, former departmem chair John Hallam, and I specialize in the modern p e r iod, so the h iscorical componem of the curricul u m centers on the sixteemh through the 2 1st cen turies, fro m t h e Renaissance co t h e p resem, with an emp hasis on Europe and the Uni ted States. We then sought to co mplemem this wi th a comemporary componem emphas izing the

p rofessional p ractice of arc history. The basis of this plan is co l i nk classroom learning and applied and p rofessional experience. With courses in museum and exh i bi tion studies, cri tical writing, and art theo ry, we hope co p repare studems for a variety of potemial careers in the art world. Our larger aspiration is to tie t h is coursework co the strong program of arts i mernships already i n place within the School of Arts and Commun ication, which places PLU studems in galleries and museums locally and imernational1y. As exciting as i t is, the new arc his cory major isn't the only significam developmem withi n the art departmem this year. We've also begun co reassess the u niversity's p ermanem art collection and co develop a new plan and vision for the role of d1e Un iversity Gallery. Both are imporcant assets, not j u s t for the Department of Arc, but for the university and our regional co mmunity. The permanent collection includes work by important artists from the United States and Europe, and it i s a valuable teac hing cool that allows students co study original objects not offered in textbooks o r s lides up close and in detail. The University Gallery is, i n many ways, t h e public face o f the De partmen t of Art, sh owcasing the work of local and nationally known artists, our facu l ty, and o u r students. What I find most p rom ising abo ut both the permanent collection and the Un iversity Galle ry is their tremendous potemial as venues for hands-on work i n museum and exhibi tion scudies, and especially fo r faculty-studem collaboration. All the potential of these resou rces, cogether wi th the creative ambi tion and collaborative spirit of the faculty and students of the D e partmem of Art, make PLU a really inspiring place to be. And I couldn't ask for a better place to b e learning b y doing. [ill Heather Mathews is assistant professor �f art with specialties in art criticism and curation.

u Wh at, exa ctly, is a rt h ist o ry g o o d fo r?

H e a t h e r M a thews, professor o f a r t h i s tory, hopes that, by worki n g through histori c a l and contemporary exa m p l es o f a rt, students are i n s p i re d to e ngage in a thoughtful exam i n a tion of wh a t goes on arou n d them.

By Heather Mathews ay marks the end of my first year as a member of the Art Department at PLU. I arrived here shortly afeer fi nisl'ting my dissertation in art h istory at the U n iversity of Texas at Austin, with some teaching under my belt but l i ttle real knowledge of what to expect as fu ll-time faculty. Any new faculty member will tel l you that the first year i s challenging new surroundjngs, people and classes. We're confronted with seemingly end less new opportunities along with new responsibili ties, and each one competes with every other for our attention. As i n any new s ituation, there's a period

of adjustment. There are practical concerns, such as ordering textbooks and dec iphering classroom technology. Then there are the more fulfilling interactions - introd uctions to colleagues and students, often with ho pes of fut u re collaboration or at least a longer conversation over coffee. B u t at some point, eve rything screeches to a hair. Lunch dates made with abandon fade i nto i mpossibility as the day-to-day demands of the semester take over. When, exactly, does o ne strike a balance? How do we manage the everyday while p lanning for the longer term?

It seems the only way to master the demands of campus l i fe is to learn by doing. Fortu narely, I've h ad su pport throughout the process from l11y colleagues in the Department of Art and the School of Arts and Communication. The Departmen t of An is a h ighly energized p lace these days, and my in troduction to it was a quick one. Even before the fall semester began, I was brought into discussions to begin defining plans for a bachelor o f arts i n a rt history, a really exciting addition to continued Oil f'''!,c 38
