puts i n (O clearer relief the distinctiveness o f Lutheran ed ucation i n the competitive market." After a sho rt pause, Torvend added, "After all, the distinctive part of PLU

is its m id足

dle name." Torvend is i n a u n ique place to u nderstand that distinction, as he is the first holder of the new Professorship in Lu theran Studies. He is a 1973 graduate i n history from PLU. He also received his masters in d ivinity, his masters in theology and, ultimate足

1998, serving as a profes足 2007, he has also been d i rector of the

ly, his Ph.D. in historical theology. He returned to PLU in sor of the history of Christian i ty. And since u n i versity's in novative Wi ld Hope Project.

Torvcnd has also pu blished on Lu theran colleges as centers of social refo rm, Lu theran commitments to education and social welfare, and the i n tellectual sources of social ethics in Lutheran higher education. "Lutheran higher education looks d i fferent than what yo u get at, for example, the U n i versity of Washington," he m u sed. "At both places you can 'follow your bliss,' but here i t is linked to things that are fundamental to who, as a university, we are." He points

PLU's mission statement, using its environ mental l anguage as an

example - though he notes that any po rtion of it would be relevant. "When we talk about 'care for the earth,' it is linked

who we are as a un iversity" Torvend said.

"There is a moral and ethical connection [to such ideas1 because of our middle name." While the

m i llion com m i tmen t secures an endowed professorship, the un iversity

is sti l l seeki ng an additional

m i l l ion to elevate the post to an endowed chair.

With the professo rship comes a certain level of cachet i n academic ci rcles. For instance, having an endowed Lutheran professorship will i ncrease PLU's repu tation as a leader among Lu theran universities. Torvend is now collaborating with an i n ternational consortium of scholars working on eco nomic, political and social reforms to be presented and published at the SOOth anniversary of the Refo rmation in

2017. Thus,

PLU will be the only LU[heran college o r u niversity i n North America

education in linking academic study and ethical co m m i tmen ts. In addition, income from the endowment will fund a yearly Lutheran Stud ies Conference at PLU, the first of which will take place this September 29.

All that is great fo r the university. B u t Torvend speaks even more enthusiastically abo u t what the professorsh i p will mean fo r the studen ts, fac u l ty and staff of PLU. H e l i kes to talk about placing the Lutheran trad i tion i n a " 2 1 s t century context." "I see the professorsh i p as a way of promoting the i n tellectual gifts of Lutheran higher education among a diverse fac u l ty and student body who may o r may not h ave a connection to the Lutheran trad ition," he said. "That is part of the challenge of being a Lutheran center of learn ing in the Pacific Northwest." The naming o f Torvend to the professorship also sets i n motion a series of changes at the un iversity that, while nominally related, u n d erscores the u n i q u e nature of instruction at PLU - one that very much c o n tinues the u n iversity's focus on the idea of f i nding one's vocation. Torvend, in accepting the professorship, will relinquish his post as D i rector of the Wild Hope Project. At roughly the same time, the Lilly Endowm e n t's $2.5 million, eight-year funding of the Wild Hope Project comes to an end, as university fu nding continues. Beginning this year, Wild Hope will be a permanent co mponent of the newly created Center fo r Vocation, with Lynn Hunnicu [[, associate professor of economics, as its d i rector. Torvend, in his capacity as professor fo r Lutheran Studies, will advise the center as its d i rector fo r vocational reflection, a position he has held before. Sometimes i t is hard to recognize the players without a scorecard. So, what does it all mean? It means that PLU's Wild Hope p roject, and the universi ty's co m m i tment to explor ing ways to help students find mean ing and p u rpose i n life - or "vocation"- will become a structu ralized part of the university through the Center for Vocation. Thanks to a $500,000 gift from Linda '63 and Charles Barbo and a $ 1 00,000 gif t from the Class of 1 958, the Center for Vocation, has a growing fi nancial foundation to continue the momen t u m of th e Wild Hope Project. PLU hopes to raise an addi tional $ 3 .5 m i l lion to permanently endow the Center fo r Vocation.

"When we t lk about 'care for the earth,' it IS linked to who we are as a university" --SarnuelTorvend '73

"The Center fo r Vocation is the place where students will be able to ask important questions o f meaning and p u rpose in their lives," Hunnicutt said. "And i t is where they will be able to get more information and guidance in devising their own answers." Or, to put it in the langu age of the Mary Oliver poem from which the Wild Hope Project gets its name, the Center for Vocation will be the place for students to con sider "what they will do with their o ne wild and precious l i fe." Indeed, i t is hard to fi nd a student on ca mpus who can't recite that signature line of the M ary Oliver poem. And m o re importan tly, many of those same students strive to live it. That this theme has such resonance with s tudents is an indication o f why Wild Hope has always received high praise from the Lilly Endowment. PLU has i n tegrated Wild Hope and i ts "big enough questions" across campus, through guest speakers, career fairs, service learning workshops and more. M any of i ts i n i tiatives, particu lar ly programs that foster the growth of first-year students, like The firs t-Year Experience and theJ-Te rm retreat "Explorel," have been called o u t fo r high praise. More recently, thanks to the Class o f 1 958, Wild Hope's Mean t to Live program has been endowed to bring together students and alumni d u ring Homecoming to d i s c u s s issues of vocation.

1 9 88 Women's Cross Country In a storied athletic program at PLU, the 1 988 women's cross-country team had a fa iry-tale ending. After a thi rd-place finish at the national meet in 1 987, the Lutes set out to win it all a year later. Led by senior three-time All-American Valerie H i lden, the team took five of the top six spots at the conference meet, and it won every NAIA competition lead ing into the national finals i n Kenosha, Wise. I n a true demonstration of ski l l and endurance, the Lutes cruised to a 1 -4- 1 1 - 1 2-34 finish to win the NAIA cross cou ntry team championship. The 1 988

PLU SCENE FAll 2011 > ATTAWAY LUTES

squad showed its drive and' perseverance, placing a PLU record four Al l-Americans (top 20 finish) at one championsh i p. "This team was the most focused group I coached, and their h i g h level of excel l ence led to that cham pionsh ip, " coach Brad Moore said. The 44 team points - the low est team score wins - was the second-low est total i, n NAIA history up to that point, and still ra nks fourth al l-time i n the NAIA record books. H i lden became the only NAIA runner at the time to win two ind ivid ual titles (1 985 and 1 988), as well as becoming the fi rst PLU at hlete to achieve four-time All-America status in two sports (cross-coun try and track & fie ld). To round out the awards for the Lutes, Moore was named NAIA Coach of the Year. Aurora Bray 0

As a four-time AI I-Amer·ican at PLU, Aurora Bray firmly esta blished herself as one of the best long distance swimmers the school has ever seen. In her fi rst year at the school. Bray swam primarily butterfly, with some midd l e-distance events mixed in. As part of the 800-yard freestyl e relay team, Bray helped her teammates place fifth at the NAJA national meet to give her the fi rst of her All-America honors. As a sophomore, she broke onto the national stage by win-

ning NAJA national titles in 1 996 in both the 1 , 650-yard freestyle (clocking 1 7:40.76 to win by more than 1 3 seconds) and the 500yard freestyle ( 5:04.44). Bray fin ished in the top eight in six different races at the meet, helping PLU finish third as a tea m. In 1 997, Bray returned to the podium at nationals, repeating in the 1 ,650-yard freestyle ( 1 7 :3 7 . 53) and also earning top-eight finish es in four other races. In addition, she earned NAIA All-America Scholar Athlete with a 3.64 G PA. In her senior year, Bray was the only PLU women's swimmer to earn All America status when she finished third in the 500-yard freestyle, third in the 1 , 650yard freestyle, and fifth in the 1 00-yard but terfly. That year, her 3.61 grade point aver· age earned her repeat honors as a NAJA All America Scholar Ath lete. Bray exemplified exce llence both in the pool and out, and was truly one of PLU's g reat athletes. Don Brown J n a men's basketba l l program with a sto ried h istory, Don Brown was arguably one of the best a ll-around players to represent PLU. As a four-year sta rter, the 6-foot-8-inch big man could do it all. With 1 ,625 points in four seasons, Brown finished his career ra nked fifth al l-time i n scoring at PLU.

A life of service through environmental protection hella B i a llas '04 says she is p u rsuing a career in p u bl ic service because she values community, and more specifically, the protection of the environment. "\Vhat motivates me is a passion for the ou tdoors," B iallas wrote dur ing a recent online i nterview. " Being at PLU, where Mt. Rainier was in my background, really made me realize how lucky we are up there to have access to all these great, natu ral resources and beauty." C u rrently, Biallas is working in Washington, D.C., as a policy ana lyst i n the O ffice of the Secretary at the U.S. Department of I n terior. Biallas' desire to serve others has led to many opportu nities to explore the United States and the world. Biallas worked fo r a year with AmeriCorps VISTA, a national serv ice program designed to fight poverty. For that position, she trav eled to St. Paul, M i n n . , where she worked at the I m m i grant Law Center of M i n nesota. There, she was responsible fo r recruiting vol u nteers and grant writing. She has also worked

Upon her return to the U.S., Bial las comp leted a masterS i n pub lic administration at the University of Washi ngton'S Evans School of Public Affairs, where she decided to p u rsue a career i n environmental policy. As a result, Bi aUas also earned a certificate in environmental management from the UW.

"This passion [fo r environmental policy] was affi rmed when I was i n Belize," B iallas explained. " \Vhen I came back to Seattle, I p u rsued i t a s a profession i n t h e h o p e that I could make a di fference at the

Opening Convocation: 'building a foundation for the future' n what was his 20th, and final, PLU convocation address, PLU President Loren J. Anderson welcomed more than 1,000 incoming fi rst-year, transfer and graduate s[Udents - as well as new and returni ng, faculty, staff, rcgems,

PLU corporation representatives and local E LeA clergy - to the opening of the 20 1 1- 12 academic year. As is typical for Anderso n, h e made n o memion of h i s upcom ing departure of the university and, instead, focused on the fu [U re and promise of the stu dems assembled i n Olson Auditorium. "Each year on this day it is my privilege to frame our hopes for the year ahead, to encourage yo ur ful l engagemem i n the learning process, and also to challenge your imagination as you begi n to envision, and then to build a foundation for yo ur fu ture," Anderson told the crowd who packed imo Olson Auditorium. "Only one percem of the world's pop ulation receives a college degree," Anderson noted, adding that the new Lutes gathered in Olson have the rare privilege to s[Udy and then go o u t i nto the fo ur corners of the globe to change the world.

CELEBRATING

20 YEARS

TO G E T H E R

For

years, focused

the future

Two decades o f service mark Loren Anderson's presidency ast spring Loren and MaryAnn Anderson announced their intencion to leave PLU in the spring of 20 12, concluding 20 years of service to the universi ty. Scene asked University Historian and Professor Eme ritus Philip A. Nordqu ist '56 to sit down with Presidenc Anderson i n the president's office to reflect on his time at PLU. T h is conversation is a reprise of their fall 2002 exchange that was publ ished in Scene on the occasion of Anderson's 1 0 th anniversary as president. That interview may be fou n d at Ulww.plu.edu/Anderson2002 Phil Nordquist: What has given you the greatest satisfaction during the years you have spent at PLU)

L.ore n son Over the years, I have come to believe that the vocational call ing of the presidency is to create oppor tunities for others - opportuni ties for s tudents, fo r faculty and staff, fo r dono rs, and fo r regents and volunteers to be their best, to realize their full poten tial, to do good and important work. And the greatest satisfaction is working with students as they grow their remarkable talencs and abilities, and as they work to search out their l i fe's ca l ling. I f yo u are lucky eno ugh to stay fo r 20 years, yo u h ave the honor of knowing them as h igh school students, as undergraduates, and then as young professionals and fam ily members des tined to make a huge impact i n the world. What a joy it is! Nordquist: D id you come to that sense of satisfaction i ncreme ntally over the

years? Did it become increasingly clear as you went along) J rs n. I think so. Particularly over the last decade, our work with the Wild Hope Project has encou raged all of us to think often about what Frederick Buechner calls our "deep gladness." What is it that gives you the most satis faction at the end of the day? For me it is to see students discover that they have capacity and potential that they have never before realized or though t possible. Those are really precious experiences.

What have been the most difficult challenges that you've faced, and the i nstitution has faced, since the early 1990s) Nordquist:

er on Sitting i n this chair you always think economics, and you reflect on the fact that we h ave l ived through th ree signi ficant economic down turns. Each one h as had its own character and presented real challenges. But in each case the PLU community has rallied around our mission and program, and we have not only survived, we have grown stronger.

If you go back to the '90s, we faced a more semi nal challenge as we worked to articulate the univers ity's mission and identity in a way that wo uld give faith ful expression to our Lutheran identity and, at the same ti me, capture the imag ination of the campus, the larger con stituency, as well as prospective Stu dents and their families. That was a great challenge fo r us as a community, but we did well and, as a result we h ave grown and matured as an institution. Before coming to P LU, all . of yo ur education and al l of you work experiences were i n the Upper Midwest. Did you find it both difficu lt and chalNordquist:

lenging to understand the culture, the manners and mores of the West Coast and the Pacific Northwest) '\nd 'rson: T here are many important similarities in cu ltural style between the Plains and in the Northwest. Both areas are very egalitarian, neither is impressed by position or tide. T here is an informal ity in style and i n the arenas that I have been privileged to deal with, there is a real sense of incegrity and comm itment that gu ides work and decision making.

And there are importanc cultu ral differ ences as well. The No rthwest is signifi cantly more diverse and the culture is relatively "younger." T he church has less influence in the Northwest and, maybe as a result, the Northwest is less cohesive when it comes to common values and experiences. I've found that articulating what it means to be a Lutheran universi ty in the Pacific Northwest requires a very different manner of describing yourself, because the theological com mon denominator one finds in the Upper Plains Just does not exist here. P LU has had three success fu l development campaigns during your tenure at the institu tion. What experience did you bri ng to that fu ndrais ing activity? And what are the most successful i ngredients i n success fu l fundraising? Nordquist:

A, der o n : I t has been a great jou rney! And along the way, I think I have learned that then: is a really important distinction between development and fu ndraisillg.

For me, fu ndraising is the work we do when we ring the Salvation Army bell or sell popp ies on the corner on Veteran's Next page

For exam ple, many fac ulry had been wo rking on global ed ucation for a long time at PLU, but PLU 2 0 1 0 was the first time it was identified as a pathway to achieve academic distinction. So the 2 0 1 0 report was not yet published when Peter and G race Wang came to town and said that they would like to endow a center fo r international stud ies - and so the Wang Cen ter was born . T hen our Gateway Programs emerged. We developed a global education Strate gic plan. Several major grants were received and at the end of the decade we were selected as the fi rst university in the West ro receive the Paul S imon Award fo r Campus Internationalization. When PLU 2 0 1 0 suggested that Stu dent-faculty research and creative proj ects might be a pathway to academic distinction, just abo ut all such activity was confined ro the natural sciences. Then we received funding for the Severtson Fellowships in the social sci ences, and the Roe fellowships in the humanities, the Moe fel lowships in the arts, and the Wang Center fellowships fo r global studies. And so student-fac ulty research was suddenly happen ing across th� campus. T hen there is purposeful learning, vocation and living lives of service that PLU 20 1 0 ide ntifi ed as our th ird path way. TIl(' notion that learning is instru mell tai and purposeful as articulated i n PLU 2 0 1 0 sprang ro life i n a new and powerful way as the Wild Hope Project was launc hed with $2.5 million in fu ndi ng from the Lily Foundation. Now Wild Hope is gathering i ts own endowment, the faculry has established a Center fo r Vocation and we have a new Professorship in Lutheran Studies. I find these ro be q u i te a remarkable set of developments. Nordquist: Now in the last year of yo ur tenure at the u niversity a third long-range plan is about ro appear.

'Living out our own Wild Hope' Loren and MaryAn n An derson reflect on 20 years of representing the PLU co mmunity to the world ven though the rainy Novem ber weather was a bit dour on their arrival, that was decidedly not the spirit on campus when Loren and MaryAnn Anderson arrived for a final visit to PLU in 1 9 9 1 . T o this day, n o w more than 20 years later, the twO still marvel at the warmth and intelligence of people they met dur ing that visit - the students, the faculty, the al umni, the friends of the universi ty. People like the late Jane Russell, wife of George Russell, CEO of the Frank Russell Co., who welcomed the family with her legendary kindness and grace. Or enthusiastic students like Monica Hu rley '94 and Burley Kawasaki '92, who, during a chapel that the Andcrsons attended, u rged students to "live in the questions" and take risks. It could be said that Loren and MaryAnn Anderson were taking their own risks in considering PLU. But upon meeting the community of people that was - and is - PLU, they knew there was really no risk at all. "I told him to go for it," MaryAnn said during a rare quiet moment for the cou pIe as they relaxed in the living room of Gonyea House. "It was a great chance. It was obvioLls the teaching heart beat strong (at PLU) and it was attracting and educating interesting and great students."

The un iversity'S three fu ndraising campaigns have garnered more than $300 million in gifts and resources. Along with the fu ndraising efforts, the cou pie has created something of an "it" fac tor at PLU - a sense of warmth and welcoming atmosphere, a push for excellence, a focus on taking what's learned on campus and bringing it to the world. Both MaryAnn and Loren Anderson say that such successes are simply a reflec tion of the strength of community that so impressed them on that rainy November visi t. To see the evidence of that dedication, one only h as to look at the additions to the "schoolhouse" thtougho ut the years, all named after dedicated univers ity friends such as Mary Baker Russell, Karen H i lle Philips, Don and Wanda Morken, and Larry Neeb, to name a few. lndeed, the gtowth of the university dur ing the past 20 years - in its buildings, in its endowment, in its stature among other universities - speaks not only of the Andersons' ability to build and foster rela tionships, but the entire PLU commulli ty's ability to dedicate themselves to the university and its mission.

Throughout the years, Loren Anderson has become one of the most respected presi dents in the coun try, in Lu theran higher education and as a community leader.

He cu rrently serves as a board member of the Independent Colleges of Washington, the American Council on Education and of the Institute fo r the International Education of Students, the premier stu dy-abroad organ ization. He has served on the boards of the American Leadership Forum i n Tacoma and of the National Association of I ndependent Col leges and Universities, where he was the chair. Despite al l these titles, however, Loren Anderson sees his job as un iversity president as "making opportun ities for peoplr." "Faculcy, staff, students, it's just a great honor," he said. During her 20 years here, MaryAnn Anderson has made her own mark in the communi cy. An active volu nteer, MaryAnn Anderson cu rrently serves on the board of the Annie Wright Schools and was chair of the board of the Greater Tacoma Com munity Foundation for two years. It was as chair of the GTCF that MaryAnn Anderson pla}led a key role in bringing a signature event to Tacoma in May, as Archbishop Desmond Tutu came to the Tacoma Dome in a "Be the Spark" event that d rew 1 5,000 people, and 1,500 from PLU alone. MaryAnn Anderson worked tirelessly in this effort - at both bring ing the Nobel Peace Prize winner to the area during his last U.S. tour - and engaging the PLU community. As for what's next, a trip back to " the farm" - the North Dakota farm that remains in the family - is in order. After that, who knows? Truly, the Andersons are not sure themselves where fate and fai th will lead them. "We're living out our own Wild Hope," MaryAnn Anderson said. "We can't wait ro see what's next.

Sometime in early spring of 20 L 2, groundbreaking on tWO new all-purpose athleric fields is expected ro take place. The early master plan called for two arti ficial turf fields, b u r those plans changed ro one artificial turf field and one grass field. The COSt of building [he new fields, from [he early planning ro finished con struction, is expected to be somewhere in the neighborhood o f $3.5 million. Eventual ly, the hope is that a lighted stadi um can be built around one of the fields, giving PLU athletes and their fans an on-campus faci lity that wou ld rival any in Division I I I athletics. "The new field will assist in leveling the playing field fo r athletics and recre ation at PLU," said Lauric Turner, direc tor of athletics. "\Ve are one of a few

Additional field space will benefit many of the school's club SPOrtS and intercollegiate teams, not the least of which is football. This year, the football team nu mbers L 16, and that large group of student-ath letes are currently confined ro the grass practice field in side the newly resurfaced track. As a re sult, the field was already in disrepair with almost two months remaining in the season. In addition, srudent-athletes will no longer have to drive off campus for practice and competition. For ins tance,

the men's and women's soccer teams hold off-campus practices ro prevent wear-and-tear on the soccer field, wbich is used for both practice and competi tion. Giving to the all-pu rpose athletic fields was greatly enhanced by a gener o us $ 1 million gift from Wilson Con struction, based in Canby, Ore., and the Don and Kim Wilson family. The com pany owners, both graduated from PLU, as did their daughter, Stacy. Don Wilsoll is a member of the PLU Board of Re gents. apLU gave us a good starr toward our careers as successful b usiness people. I didn't play footbal l , soccer or lacrosse at PLU, but I know that the field will strengthen these programs and general recreation there," Don Wilson said. "Athletics is an important parr of the u n iversity experience and the new field is a good starr at a major upgrade of athletic facilities at PLU." The fields will be located where the current gol f course exists. The golf course closed at the end of Ocrober. � B), Nick Dawson. With additional reporting try Chris Albert and Greg Brewis.

Chemistry is, after all, how the build ing blocks of nature go [Ogether to form, well, everything. Lytle deliberately e m phasizes that students know more about chemistry than they think. Like cooks, chemists choose and measure ingredients, modify recipes, adj ust coo king times and temperatures, and test the end results. Constructing and decon structing food is chemis try. "It is a way [0 [One down the sci ence and make it accessible." For instance, anyone who stops by his office is likely to get a noseful. Lytle likes to get his guests [0 sniff two differen t molecules built from two isoprene molecules each - pinene and limonene. At the molecular level pinene and limonene are almost iden tical, except for the fact that their building blocks connect to each other in sligh tly different ways. The results are molecules that are struc turally similar, but their scent is radi cally different: Pinene and limonene

smell like pine and ci trus. "Nature is using the same building blocks, but in sligh tly differen t config urations," he said. This eype of instruction doesn't j ust happen in the chemistry classrooms of Rieke Science Center. It is also h ap pening in PLU's din ing commons. Four years ago, Lytle started the "Chemistry of Food" series wi th Erica Fickeisen, lead baker with PLU's Dining and Culinary Services. Lyrle, Fickeisen, an d Dining and Culinary Services have joined [Ogether [0 create fun, informative sessions open [0 the entire campus - that look at the chemistry of differen t foods, like cheese, chocolate, spices and bread. Take chocolate, for instance. Lytle and Fickeisen deconstruct chocolate i n to its many components - one of which is a key ingredient in nail polish remover - and they demonstrate how slight differences i n the origin of the cacao beans, or even the p rocessing

te mpe rature, change the mouth feel and navor of the ch ocolate. Students aren't the only ones who learn d u ring these demonstrations. Lytle fou n d he enj oyed chocolate even more after learning abou t how subtly complex it is, " I t's so much more rich than I thought," he said. "One more reason I love chocolate," The sessions can be quite a challenge [0 put on, but Lyrle and Fickeisen real ly love how the enjoyment of food makes chemistry more palatable, Lytle credits Fickeisen and PLU's D ining Services with coming u p with some delicious foods as culinary examples for the talks. "Erica and D in ing Services are my parmers i n crime," Lyde said. "It's a real labor o f love. I t's absolutely a l o t of work, but when we pull i t off, it's really some thing special." He's not sure what's next on the menu, but that's the fun of i t. The recipe is always changing. �

ment ro Lutheran Higher Ed ucation and a passionate enth usiasm fo r every t h ing PLU. So it has always been the case that MaryAnn h as been my num bcr"one confidant and s u p poner. Working rogether on behalf of PLU and our students has been a joy, a great privilege really! 13m

way beyond that, M aryAnn has built her own very sub scantial list of accol11pushments at PLU. For e xample she und erstands so very wel l that a strong sense of community is vital to a place l ike PLU. So she has led the way in using the Go nyea House as a com-

munity builder with students, faculty and staff, with regents and donors, and with members of the larger community by organizing, managing and hosting more than 1 00 events a year. MaryAnn has been a great menror fo r coun tless students and, in panicu lar, the Gonyea Fellows. These are the stu den ts who have te nded the grounds, catered the even ts, managed and cared fo r the Gonyea House, and worked i n t h e president'S office. These students h ave been such an imponant part of our life and the work of the Gonyea House, this office and the leadership of the i nstitu tion . I n a very i m ponant way, and under MaryAnn's caring tute lage, the Fellows h ave become the face

of the university for everyone who comes ro the Gonyea house. What advice would you give to the campus co mmunity, friends of the u n iversity, al ums abom transi tion to a new p resident?

Nordquist:

nder'on One of the first t hings that you learn as an outgoing president is that it is not yo ur role to give advice ! So I will not give any advice, b u t I will express one great hope; that the e n tire PLU com m u n i ty unite in suppOrt of the new president, and extend the same generous su pport and gracious u nderstanding, the same kindness and friendship that the), have exte.nded to the Andersons over the p as t two decades ! 1m

detailed story on this event,

Geoscientists return to Antarctica or the second consecu tive winter, a PLU geosciences student spent 40 days with his professor i n one of rhe most inhospitable places on earth - the mou ntains of West Antarctica, some 1,000 m iles away fro m McMurdo Station, t h e home of the U.S. Antarctic Program. Good thing fo r Matthew Hegland ' 1 3 that h i s p rof, Visiting Assistan t Professor of Geosciences Claire Todd, is a lot of fu n to hang out with. And the science is i n teresting, too. Hegland is the only undergraduate student working on the six-member team whose project is to study deglacia-

tion - that is, how fast ice has been melting - during the last m i llen,nia. Funded by a $ 1 25,000 National Science Foundation grant secured by Todd, the group is collecting and measuring the glacial deposits i n the area, thereby tracking the thinning history of the Weddell Sea Sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet. For 40 days i n Decembel' and January, the six researchers l ived out on the ice, in ten ts, hundreds o f miles from the nearest l iving being. The group mapped and sampled glacial deposits i n the area, thereby tracking the thinning history o f the area. The goaJ for Todd and her team was to gain i nsight i n to ice sheet dynamics, and the history o f sea level contribu tion from this

sector of the ice sheer. " My experience in An tarcrica was both unbelievable and illuminating," Hegland said. "Two years ago, I never would have i magined I could have such an opportunity." To read more about Todd's and Hegland's research in Antarctica, visit www.plu. edu/rockon .

Duri ng the upcoming presidential election, those concerned with environ mental issues need to p ress the candi dates not only on climate change issues, but on water issues, she said. She also stressed that water should not be casu ally swapped across borders from one area that is water rich, such as Canada around the G reat Lakes, to areas such as California - a p roposal that has been considered i n the pasr. As for what a single individual can do? Stay involved, press yo ur public o fficials on the si tuation, be water-wise in how much water it may take to grow a crop or produce a commodiry you take fo r granted.

'97

Pediatric Oncologist, University of Texas at San Antonio uring h is sophomore year, Greg Aune '97 was holed up in the library at the Un iversity of Washingmn. He was loo king up sources for a research pape r .. fo r PLU Chemistry Professo r Craig Fryhle when he rhoughr ro check rhe rime. He couldn'r q uire believe whar he saw: Ir was midnighr, an d he'd been in rhe l i b rary reading a book on chemorhera足 py for six hours. Aune, who wen t on ro receive degrees in biology and chemis rry, and rhen a masrers and M . D . at the University of Texas ar San A n tonio, decided he'd found his passion: cancer research. He now runs a research laborarory and a clinic ar rhe u niversity, wirh a focLis on how chem otherapy affects children late r in their adult lives. When he considers that he d iscovered his " true calling" in a lib rary he chuckles. One wo u l d have thought he'd discovered his passion for cancer research and pediatric oncology m uch earlier. At age 1 6, Aune was d iagnosed wi th Hodgkin's Lym phoma and we nt through a yearlong series of treat足 ments. The treatments and recovery delayed Aune's graduation from Colfax (Wash.) High School by about a year. There was li ttle q uestion that Aune was going ro attend PLU, since his father, sister and numeroLis cousi ns were Lutes already. But sti l l, he wanted to check out other col足 leges before making h is cho ices. But when he visited campus, he knew PLU was for him. "All the professors h ad this open door policy," he remembers. "I realized later how rare that was." And when he's in Tacoma, he often looks up Fryhle, and laughs about that long-ago assign ment that changed his life. -B. C. . llil

Instead, Beacry h as been facing five cycles of chemotherapy treatments (five days on, two weeks o ff and repeat) dur i ng the past several months. The end goal is that Beat ry becomes cancer free and regains both the health and pitch ing form that made him the top D iv is ion III draft prospect this year. "The (Beatty) fam ily has tried to stay pos itive and we've tried ro stay positive," PLU head coach Geoff Loomis said regarding Beatry's treatment and recov ery. "The baseball p iece is secondary righ t now ro Max regaining his health." "Baseball Am erica" had good reason ro list the sturdy junior at the rop of its po tenti a l draft l is t, noting his 6-fect 2-

inch, 2 1 0-pound body, and a four-pitch arsenal. H is statistics solidifY his stature as a potential future professional pitcher. Beatry had a solid 20 1 1 campaign for the Lutes, compiling a 5-4 record and a 3.75 earned run average ro earn honor able mention All-Northwest Conference honors. He carried that momen tum into summer baseball with the Co rvallis (Ore.) Knights of the West Coast Baseball League, helping the Knights win the league tirle while ea rn i n g second team All-West Coast League and West Division all-scar starus. He fin ished with a 6-2 record and a 2.70 earned ru n aver age in 1 2 regu l ar season and play off appearances for the Knights. He led the Knights with 63- 1/3 in nings pitched and 53 strikeouts and tied for the team !cad in wins. Now, the task of faci ng collegiate hit ters takes a back seat to a more serious challenge for Beatry. Amazingly, Beatry is the third PLU player in the 1 0-year ten u re of head coach Geoff Loomis ro face a serious ill ness. The other two are Nolan Soete '06 and Eric Stanczyk '06, '07. Soete, now 30, was diagnosed with severe ap l as tic anemia, a rare blood d is order, in the fall of 2002. His treatment included a five-day blast of chemothera py ro des troy his immune system, which led up ro a successful bone marrow t ransp lan t fro m his sister,jacinda, who turned out to be a perfect march. Soete rook a year off from school and baseball before playing his final cwo sea sons and earning his degree from the universiry. Nolan came back "probably roo early," he said, and hit only .200 as a junior, before h icting .300 during h is senior season. Even then, Soete feels like it rook him about five years before he felt physically as strong as

he had before the ill ness. "I've been through a loc of the experi ences that he's going to go through," Soe.te said of Beatry, "and I'm sure we'll talk more about i t." He added, " 1 have no doubc that Max is going ro get through it." Stanczyk, 28, who came to PLU the same year that Soete was diagnosed, was fo und ro have testicular cancer later that year. He h ad the testi cle removed and went through radiation treat ments ro wipe ouc any remain ing cancer cens. It took

Stanczyk about j 8 months, he said, to get his hormone levels back to a level where he felt the energy he had prior to his diag nosis. He did not miss any school and continued ro play during his recovery, even earning honorable mention all-conference and academic all-district honors as a senior. He received both his undergraduate and graduace degrees from PLU. S t i l l , as the Lutes prepare for the 2 0 1 2 season, they do s o without their best pitcher, and one of their best friends. "\Ve're a family, and he's one of our fam ily members," G ates said, adding that the team wil l support him "whatev er i t takes." As a way of showing that s u pport, all of the team mem bers except one shaved their heads prior to the scarr of the sea son. The one who didn't, senior pitcher Nathan Eisenhauer ' 1 2 , kep t his frizzy hair for a reason . It seems that Beatr)' is a fan of Eisen hauer's mop of hair, and he cOllldn't think of a berter way to honor Beatry than to keep his hair. "We lost our biggest dominacing fo rce," Gates said. "\Ve're gOll1g to have ro fi nd a way to adapt. It's not one per son that is going to have ro fill Max's shoes. \\1e're goi ng to have to do it as a team, find a way as a team ro be competitive."
