Wharton School of Business. Tu rner's initial p rior it ies will include overseeing the implementation of the n ew .MBA program , developing a long range s trategic plan for the school and strengthening its position in the Puget Sound and beyond. The new MBA c u rriculum features three areas of emp hasis: technology and i nnovation management; health care management; and, entrepreneurship and closely held busi ness. The p rogram has changed from a four-credit model to a three-credit model, with 45 credits req uired to grad uate, down from 48 under the old pro gram. The PLU MBA is accredite d by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB I nt ernational), and is the only part-ti m e p rogram in the West that requ i res i nternational study. The i n ter national s tudy is i ntegrated with cour se work ill global business perspectives and may be completed at any time dur ing the 20-momh program.

"For years, academia was lagging behind industry in tr ain i ng and culti vating future leaders - innovation was not h appening in school, b u t i n the workplace," Tur ner said. "With the new coursework, the i n ternational compo nent and faculty with strong i nd u stry experience, our new program addresses those issues." All the courses in the program are newly designed and include an empha sis on technology that takes advantage of the advanced design of the new Morken Cen ter for Learning and Technology.

Sustainable l iving practices take root and flourish on campus WORDS

ave Kohler has an audacious challenge for staff and faculty at PLU: Get rid of your garbage can. The environmentally minded facilities director will lay down the gauntlet this faJI in a campus-wide campaign to boost recycling rates to new, astronomiÂ cal levels. The "Can the Can" idea, as the campaign is called, has been with Kohler for quite some time. He doesn't have a trash can in his office, and doesn't see why anyone else needs one, either. "I came from a place where we were (recycling) 25 percent and 1 thought it was j ust the greatest thing," Kohler said of his previous job as facilities director at the University of Redlands i n Cal i fornia. "When I got here and it was 60-plus percent it kind of burst my bubble." An i mportant annual even t put on by

Environmental Services Coordinator Barb McConathy made Kohler realize the potential to take the recycling rate at PLU h igher still. "Barb does this ' trash bash' where they take a couple of trash bins fro m Rieke and see what percentage of trash in the bins could have been recycled," Kohler said. "They were getting 80, 85 percent so I'm saying, okay, if everybody recycled what they could recycle, nobody needs a trash can." Kobler leads by example. A small, one-liter black can sits unobtrusively on the corner of his desk. In it go apple cores and other organic material awaiting deposit in the compost bin down the hall from his office. He drops other recyclables in the nearest bin on his way i n and out of the office duri ng the day. What litrie PLU can't recycle - candy bar wrappers, for i nstance, which he sheepishly admits to generating too many of - can easily be taken to the nearest trash can. "Can the Can" could have sweeping e ffects. Faculty and s taff will h ave the Âť

I ncreasing the recycling rate will not only reduce the un iversiry's environmen tal i m pact, it will also save money: PLU cu rrently pays by the con tainer for garbage removal. And i t will demon strate PLU's continued commitment to "care for the eanh." The environmen tal ethos on campus h as a widespread impact on the social, economic and envi ronmen cal systems at PLU, and sustain able decisions rake inm account the con nections between these three systems.

Instead of marginalizing the environment, I thi.nk we have ro see that isslles of the environment become the organizing pri nciple within Ollr social landscape," sajd Terry Tempest \1(!illiams, a well-known author and envi ronmenral advocate who spoke at PLU during Earth Week 2006.

" It's a qualiry of life issue ... When is i t that you're willing co say it doesn't really cost that much more co have a cleaner l i fe, and isn't that what I would really like to leave for my children?" Bergman's rhetorical question is at the core of what is know as "intergenera tional moraliry," with each generation responsible for the fu ture impact of their actions, said Denis Hayes, a promi nent local environmentalist who organ ized the fi rst Earth Day back in 1 970. Hayes believes that if a generation depletes a resource, l ike o i l, they must replace i t with an equ�u a.lternative, like energy-efficient solar power. "Each generation should pass onto the next generation at least what they inher ited," Hayes sa.id. The intergenerationa.l moraLiry idea formed at the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, where the susrainability idea rook roOL The conference was the first modern international gathering that identified the relationship between economic progress and environmental stewardship. The UN con ference spurred the creation

of national commissions worldwide focused on sustainability, which in turn brought the issue to the attention of cor porations, A num ber of businesses, partic ularly in the Northwesc, saw the value of incorporating sustainability into the ir businesses and began to do it, Hayes said. " I t's more than an initiative, it's a good business practice," said Chuck Clarke '7 1 , '82, director o f Scattie Public Utili ties. He received h.is bachelor's degree in biology and his M BA from PLU. The best business decisions look past the strictly economic cost-benefit analysis. Sustainable corporations now look at the long-term costs of a project o r deal, including potenr i al environmental remc diation, social impacts and other costs not traditionally considered parr of a pro ject's budget, Clarke said.

"Where better to try and create a sus tainable community than on a u niversi ty campus?" Ton n said. "Universi ties exist in perpetuity, and the)! are pretty much closed communities t/lat people come into and then go out of So if you can instill the concepts of sustainabil i ty while on campus, those people are going to go and be leaders for [he rest of socie ty."

Interface Carpet to recy cle 3.75 tons of carpet and area rugs fmm the residence halls. For the first time, a specific dumpster for these items was avai lable during spring move-out.

That's not all McConathy collects at move-o ut: computers, bedding, clothing, u nopened food and personal products like shampoo are donated to local chari ties or sold to the PLU community in monthly sales.

The leadership in the sustainability movement is coming from - and will continue to come from - students, Hayes agreed. For students living and worki ng in "green" spaces, the increased natural light, clean ai r and better cli mate control becomes the norm. They carry that expectation with them throughout their lives, and it inf1uences their future decisions, he said.

"We try to do the right thing for the whole environment," McConathy explained.

Nourishing the movement The efforts to promote sustainability on campus coalesced in the spring of 2002 with the formation of the Sustainability Committee. The comm ittee's strength and inf1uence lie in its membersh ip, which represents students, faculty and staff The Pacific Northwest is defined by water, s o the commi ttee decided to con centrate on improving PLU's water con servation, Bergman said. With a grant from the Russell Family Foundation, the committee developed a comprehensive plan for water conservation on campus and integrated education about water with campus operations. The committee worked with the campus community to develop courses and p rac tical projects during weeklong work shops held in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Among other things, 10w-f1ow toilets were i nstalled in residence halls and more native plants are used in campus land scaping to reduce water usage. The commi ttee established Sustainability Fellowships in 2003, funding twO Stu dents each summer to research ways to improve sustainability o n campus.

She i nvestigated how to bring more organic and locally grown foods to Dining Services and created an educa tional outreach program to increase awareness among students. " It's not sustainable just eating organic or vegetarian," Esbjornsen said. Agricultural practices often waste water and use harmful pesticides, and trans porting the products requires fossil fuels that harm the environment. True sustain able eating is looking at how that item got to your table, she explained.

So maybe getting rid of a garbage can doesn't seem like that big of a deal. But i f it makes members of the community go one step farther for the earth, it will be worth it. PLU has been q uietly setting an example for sustain able living for some time - a fact not lost on Tempest Williams. That sunny April morning before her evening speech on campus, Tempest WiLliams met with about 50 students i n the Morken public events room. D ressed all in black with brown cowboy boots, her gray hair swept up i n a chignon, Tempest Williams described a recent visit to D rury University in Springfield, Mo.

"Ideally, food should be both local and organic," she said. "But sometimes local is better than organic because of the resources saved."

She said she listened to a D rury student present her thesis abou t the environ mental history of her university. D uring the presentation, the student cited PLU as a model of sustainability i n higher education, which signified the reach of PLU's example, Tempest Wi lliams said.

Universal i mpact In communicating the ideals of sustain abi l i ty to students, PLU transmi ts these notions to an entire generation. It is a d istinct o pportun ity - and responsibility.

"I think you are being watched. The leadership is having an effect," she said. "You know, J think I love knowing that PLU is right on tbe edge of the conti nent and i t's sweep i ng all the way across through your example." llil

Al u m n i g i v i n g c ru c i a l t o o u r futu re hen I was a freshman i n 1 970, the new Universiey Center opened i ts doors. Most of us thought the area just south of the UC was a virtual waste.land. "Trust us," adm inistrators said. " We have a plan. Trust us ... you'll like what's coming." It took ti me. As the months passed, believe it or not, they were right. I came to love the natural area south of the Uc. Today's Lutes sim ply see a beautiful area replete with majestic trees, plants, wildlife and other signs of a vibrant n at u ral l i fe. The natural area was the result of thoughtful planning by PLU adm i n is trators, donors who saw a need and helped meet it, and God's gifts of l i f" i n myriad forms. Those who love PLU see the same commitment and blessing throughout the campus, in p rograms, students, faculey, and brick and mortar - indeed, all that makes a collection of people and bu ildi ngs a com m u nity. This past spring, we were challenged by our class representatives to do better in the alu m n i giving percentage. Thanks to those of you who responded. One of the goals of the Alumni Association's Board of D i rectors in 2006-2007 is to continue to work on increasing the alu m n i giving percen tage. Even the smallest gifts matter tremen dously. By giving, you help PLU both di rectly and indi rectly. The highly influential U.S. News & World Report rankings of U.S. colleges and u niversi ties depend in part on the percentage of alumni donors that give to PLU. Also, corporations and fo undations capable of donating large sums of money want to see that PLU's alu m n i support the university through annual givi ng. I t demonstrates to them that the universi ty is supported by a strong communiey that believes in i ts m issio n and vision. In add i tion, by giving to PLU you help improve programs and the university's repu tation for academic rigor, and, th us, boost the value of you r degree. Wi tho ut the generosiey of our alu m n i,

Tacoma sports group hoilors legendary Lutes his year's Tacoma Athleric Commission Banquet of Champions quickly turned into a reunion for 26 former Pacific Lutheran U niversity football players and their coaches as well as a groundbreaking female coach. Those 26 Lutes were members of the 1 9S0 PLU team, winners of the NAIA Division II national championship. The team was inducted into the athletic com mission's Hall of Fame duri ng the ban quet, held J u ne 2 at the Tacoma Dome. "I hadn't seen some of these guys for 25 years;' said Scott Westering '82, '99, an All-American tight end on the team. The 19S0 football team was ranked No. 1 in the preseason NAlA Division II poll that year, and the Lutes lived up to the billing by winning the u niversity's first-ever national SPOrtS title. The tide was the first of four garnered by the Lute football program and fellow Hall of Fame member and former head coach Frosty Westering. The Lutes finished the 1 980 season with an 1 1 - 1 record, the only loss com ing by one point to Norrhwest Conference rival Linfield midway through the regular season. In the play offs, PLU defeated Linfield, Valley City State (N.D.) and \'i;1ilmington (Ohio) to claim the championship. The Lutes won the championship game 38- 1 0. All three playoff contests were played at Tacoma's Lincoln Bowl. Scott Westering and Scott Kessler 'S I were named first team. NAIA All Americans, and Westering was also named to the Associated Press Little All America second team. Kessler, who was named the Most Valuable Player in the q uarterfinal and championship playoff games, had eight inrerceptions i n the playo ffs i ncluding a record-tying four in the championship game. Guy Ellison '82, John Bley '8 1 and Scott M cKay 'S2 were named second team NAlA All-Americans while Eric Carlson '8 1 and G reg Rohr '82 were honorable mention picks.

Hemion is considered one of the best female athletes in Tacoma h istory. \X'hile attending Western \�1ashington University, she competed in basketball, volleyball, field hockey, synchronized swimming and tennis. She twice led the WWU basketball team to the Association ofImercoUegiate Athletics for Women national tournament. She is now a mem ber of the 'y,?WU Athletic Hall of Fame. After graduating from W,\XllJ, Hemion started playing slowpitch softball, play ing in the outfield for numerous league and tournament championship teams during the summer months. In 1 994 she was i nducted into the United States Specialty Sports Association's Siowpitch

Softball Hall of Fame in the state o f Washington. S h e played slowpitch soft ball until 2000 and was also an active participant in local volleyball and bas ketbali leagues. Duri ng her PLU coaching career, Hemion directed the women's basket ball team to a national tournament berth i n 1 9 8 0 and an 1 8-win season in 1 982. She coached the volley ball team to back-co back 20-win sea sons in 1 977-78, and was head coach of the softball team - which at the time was playing the slowpitch variety - for cwo seasons ( 1 975-76).[§] JJ)' Dave Girnmi ..

Tacoma Symphony Orchestra enjoys close ties to PLU, community r wasn'r long ago rhar residenrs of Sound m ighr have been surprised ro hear rhar Tacoma is home ro a professional symphony, some 80 m usicians srrong. Whar may sri l l surp rise some is rhar rhe Tacom a Symphony Orchesrra is nor only doing q u i re well - i r is abou r ro cel ebrare i rs 60rh anniversary. When rhe orchesrra opens irs season rhis Sarurday, Ocrober 1 4, ar rhe Panrages Thearer in downrown Tacoma, i r will be rhe beginning of a celebrarory season d u ring which borh rhe ciry and orchesrra can fere a long, healrhy al liance - and one rhar seems ro be growing stronger every year. D u ring this impoITant anniversary season , no less than 1 0 people who either teach ar PLU or have developed their musical chops here will be a parr of the performances onsrage or behind rhe scenes. Thar m ighr be surprising, roo, given that the orchestra starred as a "Town and Gown" orchesrra for the Universi ty Sourh Puger

of PLIget Sound, according ro PLU alum, faculry member and Tacoma Symphony O rchestra Concerrmaster Svend Ronning '89. But times have changed - and so h ave the orchestra and the city of Tacoma. " We feel that we are one of Tacoma's poinrs of pride," said the orchestra's execu tive director, Amy Wigstrom '96. "\Ve have served - and will conrinue ro serve as a cultural leader." There is no mistaking that rhe resur gence of Tacoma has coincided with the recenr success of the o rchestra. No doubt, the twO go hand in hand. A strong arts base - evidenced by the museums that line Pacific Avenue or the vibranr and diverse performances that take place at the Broadway Cenrer for Performing Arts, for example - signals the ciry is thriving. And, of course, the op posite is also true. "The TSO has been on the fronr end of the revitalization of Tacoma," Ronning said. "The ciry conrinues ro -

gain more and more momenrum. We are no longer the hyphen after Seattle." While the strong correlation between the orchestra's longevity and success and the resu rgence of Tacoma's urban cenrer is gratifYing, there is a more tan gible benefit for those who love classical m usic: "People from around here don't have ro look ro Seatrle for their concert m usic," Ronning said. The orchestra's season generally includes nine to 10 performances that take place from Ocrober through May. The performance.s include a variery of styles, including classical, pops and a choral concert serie.s. A holiday offering is also part of the season. Another sign of success is how the o rchestra contributes ro the communi ry. Simply Symphonic is an I I -year edu cational outreach p rogram of the orchestra designed ro teach Somh Puget Sound fifth graders the joys of learning through music. »

Price named Snohomish County's artist of the year tan Price 73 arrived at PLU as an arc-lover, a passion that only inten sified over time. Withi.n one se mester, he formally declared as an art major. "I had a great time at PLU," Price recalled. "The art education is superb. r got a great education and had a wonder ful time in the process." After receiving his bachelor's deg ree , Price pursued a graduate degree i n art at Cen tral Washington University, then returned to PLU, where he taught glass blowing for two years. In 1 978, he accepted a caretaker posi tion at the renowned Pilchuck G lass School in Stanwood, \Vash., eve n tu ally moving into an administrative position there. Encouraged by his wife , Colleen, Price left Pilchuck in 1 979 to start a success ful business, Covenant Art Glass in Everett. He spent the next 25 years doing whar he calls "par ent work," rais ing three children. But recCJltly, Price returned - in a big way - to crearing art. I n March, he was named Snohomish Couney Artist of the Year. Many of his commissioned pieces are fe atured throughout Everett and Seattle. " Eve ry art m;].j or's goal is to make the art h istory books," Price said. "Is thar a realistic goal? I don't know. But hey, we are going to shoot fo r the stars." By Shmmoll Schrecengost '09

S p ritu a l ity at work : fa d o r s u b sta n c e ?

Bringing sp iritu a l ity to work has nothing to do with religion, ac cording to Linda Gibson, assoc iate professor of m a n a g e m e nt.

By Linda Gibson pirituality in the workp lace is a model of organ izational cuJture that is On the rise in the Uni ted S tates. It's not about employment law and reli gious accommodation, nor is it about any organized religion or theo logy. It's the recognition that promoting, supporting and emb racing a posi t.ive environment for the whole person can be good for busi ness - and ie's affecting the practices of many organizations, including the technology products and services giant, Hewlett Packard. Many other companies, from Boeing to Wal-Mart, have actively partici pated in or held conferences on the subject.

The leading example of a spiritually oriented organization m ay be Sou thwest Airlines, well known for its people-based cul mre and values focus. The unique corporate culture there has contrib uted to bottom-line resu l ts and consistent profitability fo r Southwest, which has extremely low employee turnover rates and labor costs per mi les flown, with on-time arrivals an d few customer co mplaints. Is the rise of spirituality at work a fad, or does i t h ave su bstance? The inner life of the workforce

Dining S e rvices welcomed certified master chef Ken Arnone to help the staff enhance its Asian food offe rings. Ph oto by Roxanne Cooke '07.

Master chef lends exp ertise to Dining Services staff

aster chef Ken Arnone paid a visi t [0 the Dining Services staff recendy [0 help punch up the authemicicy of the Asian foods available in the Univers i ty Cemer Commons. Arnone is one of only 61 certified master chefs in the world, and a former classmate of Dining Services Director Eri n McGinnis '90 from the Culi nary InstitU[e of America in New York. " Ken was doing work in the industry with Asian food, and I thought i t wo uld be fun for the s taff to get out of the regular routine," McGinnis said. The recipes will be part of the popular Asian food s tations, at which studems can pick their own meat, veggies, sauces and rice o r pasta [0 create thei r own stir fricd meals.

For three d ays Arnonc worked with Dining Services staff on perfccting 10 new reeipes he developed for PLU. This involved modifying ingrediems and techniques [0 more efficiently feed hundreds of hu ngry studems.

In mOSt restaurams, menu items pre pared in a wok are cooked for at least six mi nlltes [0 i nfuse the flavors, Arnone explained. B u t that timeframe is [00 long for a food station wi th a line of 15 studems, so he adjusted the techniques to speed up the cooking time to 90 seconds while still maintain i ng the flavors. Adjustmems i ncluded cooking some of the ingredients beforehand, particu larly tbe meats, and modifYing the sauces to quickly infuse the flavors. When i t's time to create the entree, i ngrediems are heated back up and mixed with the sauce. "The challenge is how - in high vol ume - do you make good food and stick [0 the techniques?" Arnone said .

Ad m i ssion Cou nselors wa nted THE OFFICE OF ADMISSION is seeking talented team members interested in serving the university as admission counselors. Alumni and friends of PLU are the strongest candidates because of their passion for telling the PLU story. Counselors travel to designated regions to talk to prospective students. as well as participating in events like Fall Preview Day to welcome visitors to campus. Please contact the Office of Admission at 800-284-6758 or 2 5 3 -5 3 5-7 1 5 1 to inquire about these positions, which will likely become available in the late spring.

The plan addresses new buildings, ren ovations and landscaping. Goals to promote environ men tal sustai nability are h ighl ighted throughout the docu ment.

The N ational P u b l ic Radio affi liate and jazz and blues s tation now boasts over 300,000 listeners pe r week in the Puget Sound region and online, where its broadcast streams live. The universi ty holds the l i cens e to KPLU, but the station i s i n de pendent in pro gramming and editorial content. The s tation's m ai n studio, jazz collection and admin istrative offices are cu rrently housed in Eastvold Hall. After 40 years in Eastvold, KPLU's s mall suite of offices is literal ly overf1owing wi th records and files. The studios were designed i n an era of radio now relegated to history, and are long overdue for technological u pgrades. The new broadcast center will pro-

Barot recalls a read i ng last year by poet Jonathan Johnson, who writes about building a log cpbin in the nort hern Idaho wilder ness in his memo i r, " Hannah and the Mounra i n . " A scudenr from Alaska came co hear Johnson even though, acco rding co Barot, he had no i n terest in poetry. "He was JUSt i nrerested in hearing abou t what the guy did co make the cabin," he said. These are the types of connections Baro t hopes the series co m i n ues to make. As evidence of that suppO rt, sev eral d i fferen t stakeholders are assisting in the series, including the provost'S o ffice, residentia.l life office and PLU's Master of Pine Arts program.

Stu d e nt ath l etes re p re s e nt th e b e st of PLU L U baseball player Jared S imon maintains a 3.7 grade point aver age with a major in mathematics and a minor In economics. But balanc ing school and athletics isn't always easy. A starting infielder since his freshman year, Simon will graduate this spring. "The last couple of years I studied when I could ," he said. This year has been more difficult - he bought his fi rst day planner as he finishes up his academic program and plans for his wedding this summer. Baseball coach Geoff Loomis " always says thar academics come firsr," Simon said. " For the seniors in rhe pasr and for me rhis year, we may have ro rake class es rhar are offered only during pracrice rime. This year on Wednesday I'm going to miss half rhe pracrice because of class, which is kind of frusrraring. B u r ( Loomis) does emphasize rhe fac r rhar (school is) rhe mosr i mporrant rhing. "You can tell he cares about how you're doing in classes and not j usr about baseball," he added. Thar arritude is evident rhroughout the athletic department. "Our department recru iting brochures state something that we real ly believe is true, that our student-ath letes are among the best and brightest students on campus, and that we pro vide a balanced program that gives the student athlete an opportun i ty to do well in the classroom," said Laurie Turner, director of athletics. Last spring, Pacific Lut heran University placed 33 spring sports ath letes on tbe Academic All-Northwest Conference team. In order to be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must have a grade point average of at least 3.50 and be on a team's rosrer for the entire season. One of those athletes, senior softball player Grerchen Ruecker '06, earned first team Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information D i rectors Association, only the t h i rd Pacific Lutheran student-athlete to achieve that status. These accomplishments put in sharp -

focus the e m phasis that Pacific Lutheran places on the "student" por tion of being a student athlete. It is an emphasis that fits in wel l wirh rhe NCAA D ivision III philosophy, which states in part: "College and universities i n Division III place h ighest priority on the overall q ual ity of the educational experience and on the successfu l com pletion of all students' academic pro grams. They seek to establish and mai n tain an environment in which a student arhlete's athletic activities are cond uct ed as an i n tegral part of rhe student athlete's educational experience."

Prior to joining the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Pacific Lutheran was a member of the National Association of Inrercollegiate Athletics (NAlA). PLU athletes had a long and distin guished record of academic s uccess dat ing all the way back to 1 978-79, when NAlA All-America Scho lar-Ath lete s ta tus was first awarded. That same year, men's tennis player Dave Trageser was rhe fi rst Lu te to earn All-America status both on the tennis court and in the classroom. It is now more dif ficult for Pacific Lu theran studen t athletes to earn Academic All-Region and All-America sta tus because they compete against Stu dent ath leres ar rhe NCAA Division I-AA, II, III and NAlA levels. Nonetheless, a focus on academics is of primary impor tance to the PLU athletic program. "That's why we are here," Turner said. " Pacific Lutheran University is here to educate students. Athletics is a vital part of the co-curricular experience, but these are students fi rst and athletes after rhat." Since PLU became an NCAA member institution, five Lute athletes have earned $5,000 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarsh ips, the most recent being Andrea Wells i n 2005. She is currently i n the second year of a rhree-year program ro earn her doctorare in physical therapy at Eastern Washi ngton U n iversity. When she graduates, she will practice physical therapy and looks forward to i nreract-

ing wi th patients. Wells earned All-Northwest Conference first team honors three times while play ing for the PLU softball team from 200205. Her academic success was eve ry bit as impressive as her accomplishments on the softball field. "When J first looked at PLU i saw the combination of softball and a p re-physical therapy program tha.t fit me perfectly," recalled Wells. She credits her advisor, Tony Evans, with helping her through the minefield of a heavy science load, classes necessary in her pursuit of a career ill physical therapy. Her softball coach Rick Noren, emphasized " keeping lip with your stud ies, because if you d on't YOll can't do the athletic part of it," she re me m b e rs. For Wells, that wasn t a problem. " J was always going to do it no matter what, because that's who I am." r t is often just that kind of student that the Pacific Lutheran aJhletics coach es are looking for when they recruit, becall se they fit i n well with the institu tion's academic emphasis. "When you recruit YOli do look at the player's ability first," said volleyball head coach Kevin Aoki '84, who is in his 1 1 th season at his alma mater. "Bm really qu ickly you find om her grade point aver age and her SAT score. If she can't get i n to the school, you turn your attention to the athletes who can get accepted." ml 13)' Nick Dawson

Class Book provides conversation piece at 5 0-year reunion THE LIVING ROOM o f Ginny (Grahn) and lver '54 Haugen's home on American Lake, near Tacoma, buzzed with excited conversation during a reception for the Class of 1 95 6 during i ts homecoming reunion weekend in Ocrober. Much of the focus at the party was on a book carefully compiled by classmates Thelma (Nygaard) Schwarz and Norita (Miller) Stewart. Thc 1 956 Class Book, compiled in honor of the class' 5 0th reu n ion, was compiled and produced by Schwarz and Stcwart and featured mem ories of 5 0 years of life and recollections of Pacific Lu theran College, as it was k nown when the Class of '56 started school 111 1 952. Standing i n the Haugen's living room, Stewart and Schwarz handed copies to each arrendee at the reception. Most immediately opened the book and began readi ng the lovi ngly prepared b iographies and memories. Class books are fairly standard rellnion fare, but Stewart and Sc hwarz wen t beyond the ordi nary approach ro capture the voices of their class mem bers. Books are typically compiled based on class members' responses to a fill-in the-blank form. Both Stewart and Schwarz Ivli Ller, wanting to do some thing extra special for the 50th reunion, decided to go beyond that by asking class mem bers ro simply write one page about their lives ove.r the last 50 years and their fon dest memories of PLC. The results are at times moving, and often i nspiring. The Class o f 1 95 6 has traveled the entire globe, with several class m e mbe rs noting they have traveled ro all 50 states

and most of the con tinents. The class is also marked by service and volun teerism. Many arrended seminary and had careers in the church. Phoros, both current and old, added depth ro the written memOrIes. The en tries are inconsistent in format and voice, but what they lack in formali ty they make lip for in personal ity. By allowing each person ro simply submit one page rather than respond ro p rede termined questions, a richer picture of a generation emerged. " 1 wanted a free-form, out-of-the-box approach," said Stewart. Fo r Gordon Strom, the book provided an opportunity to memo rialize his first wife, Nanc)1 Helland Strom '56, who died in 1 994. The book contained two sections, one for the living and the other for tributes ro those who have passed. Strom was atte n d i n g his fi rst class reu n io n . He pointed with pride ro the ph aro of his wife included in the book. Schwarz was responsible for the sec tion of the book dedicated to the deceased, and said that the children and spouses of dead classmates were even more eager ro submit memories than some of the living classmates. "There are just beautiful stories writ ten by some of the children," Schwarz said. " I t gives you pause, ro be honest. YOll S top and think, 'What will my chil dren write about me)' But the values at PLU - and perhaps even more so at the time we were students - the goals we were e nco uraged to set for our lives obviously made an lInpact on people. M any made so many h u mani tarian con tributions over and above their careers." Nearby, three women seated on a

couch in the Haugen's living room recalled their fresh man year, moving i n to t b e fifth floor of H a rstad Hall. Converted from a d u s ty attic the year before, tbe space was divided i nro six rooms, and the young women who lived together there in 1 956 are still friends today. The srories of the "Fifth Floor Gang" spanned both sections of the book. "PLU is very special to us and always has been," said M arlys (Solterbeck) Pfimmer. The Long Beach, Calif., resi dent partici pates in regular reun.ions of the "gang" in locations all over the \'\iest Coast, although she hadn't been back ro campus in five years. Stewart, too, is part of the "gang," and while she's bee n i n t i m ately i nvolved wi th her classmates and activities with the O ffice o f Alu m n i, she said it was fU ll to read up on the exploits of classmates whom she hadn't seen in years. "It was fun to put together," Stewart said. [ill

"Chances are that we will never really get to know the students who are suppor ted by OUT licholarshlps: he said. "But that's fine. We've had all the recognition we need. Now It's time to give others

chance at the opportunities we had to succeed early In our careers." Ankrlm taught economics fOf 14 years, until 1 990, before joining what is now Russell Investment Group where he is chief Investment strategist. Shonly after he left PLU, his colleagues Norris Peterson 75 and Stanley Brue established the Ernest M. Ankrim Scholarship that is awarded annually to a student who has completed an economic prinCiples course and expressed an imerest in economics. Ankrim and others regularly contributed to the endowment over the years as it grew to more than $40,000, "last fall I decided I wanted to make a more significant contribution and at the same time both leverage the contributions of others and honer one of my mentors, Marlen MlIIer, who is revered by so many students: Ankrim said. Miller was professor of economics at PW for 25 yeafs before retiring in 1 995. He was department chair when Anknm was hired. Ankrim asked to have the endowment renamed the Ankrim-Miller Endowment and contributed $30,000 as a dollar for dollar challenge grant to alumni of the economics department. Thanks to the successful response from former students of Ankrim and Miller, the fund now stands more than $ 1 00,000, Miller calls the named endowment an honor but says, "The best part about it is that we are supporting some great students and exciting them about studying economics, lt's continuing the ongoing track record of PLU bringing excellent students into our discipline:

from 1 947--48 through 1 955-56. Her f;lther Einer Knutzen '32 took over for her grandfather on the Board o( Regents in 1 956-57, and served until 1 968-69. All (our of the Knutzen children - Linda. her sisters Norma Sells and Kerma Johnston and her brother Ron Knutzen - attended PLU; several other family members received PLU degrees. While Linda and her siblings didn't end up earning Iheir degrees here, PLlI made a lasting impression. During her two years at the un iversity ( 1 959- 1 96 1 ), Linda was active in Glmpus events and made many friends. The experience was enough to give her a lasting taste of the unique quality of a PLU eduGltion. After solemnly weighing her goals, though, she transfNred to the U niversity of Washington to pursue a career as a home ecOnomics teacher, a course of study that was not available at PLU, Linda said she wanted to remain at PLU, but her rime at UW was good, too - after all, it's where she met her husband, Chuck. ·When I look back on the education program PLU offered back When I was In school, I valued it even more because of the small classes and the opportunity to get into the schools to observe, even as a rreshman,· Linda said, In 1 967, Chuck left teaching and Linda became a mOl her, The business the two nurtured from their home in Olympia grew into the (irst self-storage operation in Il1e state of Washington. Shurgard Self-Storage became an international chain and was recently sold, Now retired, Linda said she and Chuck are looking forward to continuing to give to cultural projects, charities and especially educational Institutions_ Pictured; Linda and Chuck Barbo

Devoted parents, devout Lutherans, dedicated community volunteers and committed to compassion and accomplishment In both their personal relationships and t heir professional lives, the Korsmos credit their PLU experience for their success. "At PLU both of us learned the importance of commitment to service and community, · Lisa Korsmo said. "And we hope our commitment to PLU will inspire others to support the university and live their lives i n service to others:

The bill was $ 1 ,000 more than he'd expected He WilS paying for college on his own, and he had already maxed out hiS loan and scholarship money, When Grogan approached Provost Robert Wells WIth hIS dIlemma, Wells told hIm not to worry - he would take care

of it, To this day, Grogan doesn't know how Wells did it but four years laler, Grogan graduated from PLU. He suspects the money may have com from

donor, but he doesn't know for sure.

·, f that magic hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been able

stay:

Grogan said, And that second semester certainly was magical; it was when he started dating his wife, Kathy, whom he married two years later, Grogan used thiS story to illustrate hIS and Kathy's commitment to supporttng the un iversity, which Indudes annual donations as Q Club Fellows, contributing a life insurance policy and naming PLU the beneficiary of hair of their IRA accounts, He likens theIr support to the movie "Pay It Forward,· where a young boy proposes paying good deeds forward Instead of back, Since donors made It possible for both he and Kathy to attend PLU, now they are 'paying it forward" by helping rurrent students reach their educational goals, "I dan" really believe there's an unselfish gin," Grogan said, "1 give because It feels good.

MOM faDlily hen Bev (Swanson '59) Mohr thinks back to her days just before entering college, she recalls how important a few short months can be in a person's lifetime. She became a Chrinian in February, applied to Pacific Lutheran College in June. and was studying here by fall. Nit was the start of my Christian walk: said Sev. At PlC. Bev took full advantage of all there was to offer. She was a member of several service groups Including Spurs and Tassels. a resident assistant, and she took an active role with Future Teachers of America. During the summers, she worked at Lutheran camps i n the Midwest where. after �eeing her future husband Armin perform In a choral group. she told him how much she liked the performance wilen she bumped into him in tne lunch line, The rest, as they say. Is history, That history now Includes three generations of students that have attended PLU, including three of Bev and Armin's children: Judy, David and Brian . It should be no surprise that the Importance they place on service has been a part of the Mohr's lives ever since. Longtime donors to PLU, they also help organize and host university events that take place around their hometown of Mount Vernon. Wash. Armin, an ophthalmologist, h as participated In several medical ships providing medical care to residents of third world countries, Bev, who Is retired from managing the office of Armin's practice, is the treasurer at their local church.

It has been a full /lfe for the Mohrs, made even more so with their tradition of service that dates back some 50 years,"After all, Jesus didn't tell the faithful to Just sit around," Bev said.

'Profits always go to PLU scholarships; said Anita Ch ristian '59, chair of the boutique'S 20-member steering committee, In order to make sure the scholarships funded by

the event are

always available, Christian said the women decided to establish an

endowment a few years ago, That endowment now totals more than $300,000, and thousands of dollars are awarded annually as scholarships, said Nan Clapp, the club's current president. TI1e Yule Boutique is held the Saturday before Thanksgivlng, l t features food, live music a n d 1 00 vendors seiling a variety of handcrafted items, including everything from Jewelry, pottery and woodworking to soaps and Christmas wreaths, "Vendors must submit their wares

being allowed to rent a booth: Christian said, "If you like handcrafted Items, the Yule Boutique Is hard to beat - they scrutinize heavily that things are quality," This year's event has passed, but Christian encourages eve.ryone to mark their calendars for the 2007 Yule Boutique on November 1 7, Pictured Members of the PLU Women's Club (from lefr to right): Alice

Stu dent lindsey We b b '08 and philoso phy professor Erin M c Kenna are working togeth er o n a research project c a l led "The Current Status and Future Condition for Our Next of Kin."

By Erin McKenna and Lindsey Webb '08 ne of the pressing problems of our t imes is the furure of the great apes. All of the great apes (ch impanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans) are endangered. Their habi tat is quickly shrinking, but more urgent, their nu mbers are fas t approaching an unsustainable low. Cu rren ti}', the mai n threat is the bush meat trade (which also involves the log gin g of African forests). It is now thought thar the animals wi l l be gone before their hab i tat is destroyed due to i llegal and excessive h u n ting. Part of the problem is the human vielV of tlwse nonh u man ani mals. I nstead o f being seen as beings

valuable in thei r own right, they are seen as a resource fo r human needs and desires. Further evidence of this is fo und in the use of these same crea tu res, i n captivi ty, fo r biomedical research and e n tertain me n t. As phi losophers we are examining the current crises faced by captive and free living apes. We are examining the meta physical views that s u pport the various claims about human-no nhuman rela tions and specifically our relations with our "next o f kin." There are clearly questions about the ethics of eati ng, capturing and experimenting on beings who share over 9S percent (chim-

On the topic of career changes, Peterson speaks from experience. H e came to PLU from Richland, Was h., on scholarships in football and music. At six feet, fou r inches, Peterson's success as a left offensive tackle forced h i m to put music on the shelf for a while. After more than a decade of motiva tional work with teenagers across the Uni ted States and Canada, Peterson began exercising his music muscles by delving imo singing, songwriting and recording. Although his PLU sports career is long behind h im, Peterson still lives by the advice he and teammates received from former head football coach Frosty Westering, who encou raged studem ath letes to "make the big time where you are." �lestering's words of wisdom have stuck with Peterson, who says he tries to evalu-

So when a friend convinced him to take an acting class to ful fiLl a general u n iver sity requirement, he opted in - especially when his friend memioned that acting classes were a good place to meet girls. There, Comins discovered his passion for acting, and is now entering his fifth season with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, in Ashland, Ore. "There is somethi ng to me that is very rewarding about going out each night and trying to get i t right," Comins said of his love for acting. Comins, who graduated from PLU with his bachelor's degree in art, went to grad uate school at the University of tllinois and taught at PLU for a year and a half after getting his master's in 2000.

As an actor with the fesrival, Comins works on a year-ro-year conn'act basis. During the season, he works six days a week, each day possibl}, involving an after noon performance and an evening rehearsal, or vice versa. The week is long, but Comins said he feels fortunate ro have such a consistent job. "I feci very lucky to be a fu ll-time work ing actor.

said he enjoyed teaching, but found it difficult because he wasn't much older than his students. "I think I got the reputation (for being tOugh) because I wanted to make sure they accepted my authority," Comins said. Though he got i n to the acting business later than most of his peers, Comins said, he has acted all over the country at a variety of theaters and companies, including tbe Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts in California and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. \Vhile in Utah, Comins served as an understudy to the acror playing ilrutus i.n Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar."

while finishing his degree is nothing more than answering the question, "What can I do that T haven't yet done)" The first answer: graduate. The second: " I f the rules say I can swim, why not?" said Turcott, a one-time sum mer-league and high school swim mer whose passion for the sport was rr.ki ndled i n recent years at the m aster's level. I n 1 985, d u ring his j unior year at Pacific Lutheran, Turcott turned 2 1 and decided to leave school to p u rsue a lifelong goal - to work for the Washington State Patrol. He graduated from the Washi ngtOn State Patrol Academy in December 1 985 and soon started p atrolling state h ighways . A fter spending a year working out of

Ritzville in eastern WashingtOn, he transferred to Centralia, and later to Olympia. Finall)/, after 1 4 years on the road, he was promoted to sergeant, which meant a move to Kelso.

"The bonus for me is that I get to forge relationships with a lot of other people who I may have the opportun ity to serve in a work related capacity in the future . " Recent alumni from PLU represent a broad range o f backgrounds and career paths, and creating events and programs that are mean ingful to all can be a challenge. After all, i n the 1 0 years after gradu ation, some alumni are married with children, while others are single; some are staying at home with small ch Idren, while others are climbing the career ladder. GOLD attempts to span those gaps by holding certain events geared to subsets of alums within this age range. I nverso was inVOlved in planning the family event at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma last summer as well as a couple social events around Puget Sound i n the fal l . His favorite, though, was the "Success Series" event in September of last year, he said. The series brings expert alumni back to campus to give a brief

Class Reps need YOU I lass Representatives serve their classmates and the universi ty by focusing on three goals: future b u i ld i ng, fu nd buiiding and friend building. They specifically target their efforts at members of their graduating class, working to maintain support for the university while keeping in rouch with classmates. These vol u n teers generously support thei r alma mater with annual gifts and rime, and encou rage their classmates to do the same. You may have received a letter fro m )'ou r class representative encouraging you to make you r ann ual gift - please

do so. It is i mportant for many reasons to show that a large percen tage of grad uates support the un iversity. For one thing, the annual giving percentage i s a key component of the annual U.S. News & World Repon ranking of colleges and un iversities. Foundations and individu als also look at how m uch supporr PLU has from within i ts own com m u nity as they evaluate whether to award grants to the un iversity. Class representatives are particularly focused this year on helping to increase the alumni giving percentage. B u t it's not all abou t raising money. As friend raisers, class representatives attend PLU events, commun icate with you through a letter each year and help to recruit new students.

They also help to organize and plan reu n ion events for thei r homecoming re u n ion year. Homecoming 2007 is October 12- 1 4 and reu n ions will be held for the following classes: 1 957, 1 962, 1967, 1 9 72, 1 977, 1 9 82, 1 987, 1 9 9 2, 1997 and 2002.

Her time with mud piqued her l i felong i n terested in science, which has led to three patents on the cancer-fighting drug paclitaxci, which is known in its commercial form as T;Lxol ® . "I l i ke science. I t's fun," Hoffman sai d, adding that she enjoys the h ands-on nature of her profession. She currently teaches chemist!"y and b iochemistry at University of Poreland, where sbe has worked since 1 989. After graduating from Sr. Placid High School, a Catholic school in Lacey, Wash., Hoffman joined the Benedictine Sisters at Sr. Placid PriolY, and gOt her bachelor's degree i n ed ucation from Sr. M artin's University. During the next several years, she also obtained a bache lor's degree il1 biology and a master's i 11 science education from PLU. She

received her docto rate in b iochemistry fro m the Oregon Graduate Institute. Living and working as both a nun and a scientist has never presented her with any m ajor tensions. Hoffman said she l i kes look i ng fo r the "secrets and s ur prises" that God created i n the world. "Someti mes I don't get enough sleep," Hoffman said of her life with two major roles. She added that sometimes a Stu dent will ask her abo u t her religious beliefs to strike up a conversation. Her work with paclitaxel, and the makings of her first patent, began when a student wanted to do a project involv ing the paclitaxel molec u le and yew trees, the plants that produce the sub stance. The pro fessor who was supposed to help the student was on sabbatical, so Hoffman vo lunteered for the job. Hoffman and the u ndergraduate Stu dent, along with a high school student, cultivated clippi ngs fro m yew trees and

cleaned them thoroughly with cooth brushes. Then, they puc the pbm speci mens and sterile, liquid p lane food i nco vials about the size of a h ighlighter pen.

"I was l i ke, 'Oh my gosh, this is what it is all about,' " Shaw said. " I wanted co make that happen every time I got u p on stage. I was hooked on teaching choir from then on." Shaw came co P L U in 1 997 after tWO years at Cencralia Community College where he was active in the choir pro gram. After a successfu l audition fo r a music scholarship at PLU, he decided to attend. "The reputation of the mllsic p ro gram was a big draw," Shaw said. " I JUSt fel t l i ke I needed to be at PLU. I don't k now exactly why, but I JUSt had a strange feeling about it." Shaw's decision was a good one. In 1 998, after only a year at PLU, S haw founded the Olympia Choral Society. He graduated from PLU a year later with a bachelor's degree in m usic edu cation. Since then, Shaw has fou nd great suc cess working with the Olympia Choral Society.

In addition to his success with the Olympia Choral Society, Shaw has twice performed at Carnegie Hall and serves as a music director for a South PugCt Sound church.

contil1 ued from b<lck cover

About 30 years ago, when I was first asked to speak in D t. Christopher B to\vning's PLU class on my childhood remembrances of l iving in Nazi Germany, I strongly suspected it wou ld be nothing more than an excuse or a cover-up. Why did I feel that way? That had been my experience when I returned to Germany i n 1 953- 1 954 as a draftee court interpreter in the u.s. Army. The m ajority of the j udges and civi l servants were all ex-Nazis who were serving o u r their time unti l reri rement. They still ran the country i nto rhe 1 970s, and their views had changed vety l i ttle. After auditing D r. Browning's class, I began to appreciate what it means to be a true historian and scholar. Never had I heard this period, which my parents and I had experienced, more accurately described than by Dr. Hrown ing and later by Dr. Robert Erick son. It was at a Lutheran university, and I was astounded. When 6 m illion people are murdered, i t is too large a nu mber co comprehend. To an i n d ivid ual like me, still a young man, it just mCZl n t grandpa, grand ma, aunts, u ncles, classl11Zl.tes and friends. This experience had a devastating effect on my parents, who were forced to leave their home, friends and relatives, robbed of their total material posses sions, and not able to give me the k i nd of guidance ot her American kids got from their parents. I had to become an adult to understand rheir diffe re nt real i ty. After all, it occurred in the 20th cen tury in Germany, the cradle of the Lutheran church. As I was growing up, I always wondered who wo uld tell this story trLlChfully, with out shifting the blame to the Merchant of Venice or the Treaty of Versailles or the betrayal ofJcsus by the Jews or the capi talists or the Com munists or the u niver sity inrel.lectuals or rhe clergy or the homosexuals. The blame rested with Germany, which became a dysfunctional society of technical, barbarian geniuses who were totally void of hu man ities and who did not u nderstand their own Christian heritage, in which Jewish peo ple played a major role. The Germans were unable to accept responsib ility fo r their own mad ambitions.

PLU is a place where faith and reason meet, and where young min ds are molded to make the world a better place. PLU does not teach you how to make money. At PLU, YOll learn to serve your fel low human beings and to value life and fai th. When Don Morken '60 helped fund the Raphael Lem k i n award co help srudents write essays on geno cide, J wamed to bring members of my own Jewish com munity to see that at PLU, history is not taught by revision ists bur by objec tive h istorians. I n our Jewish trad ition, there i s a Hebrew saying called "Tiku I11 Olo m," and i t means that it is the job of every Jewish person to repair the world. I n t h e l a t e afte rnoon o f m y l i fe, I have come to conclude that there is so much repair work to be done that we can't do it alone, but we must d o it together.

Christians and Jews both bel ieve in the same creator, but technology has advanced further and more rap id ly than civil ization has been able to absorb. In the last decade, of all people who came closest to b ringing peace to the Middle East, it was the Norwegians with the Oslo Accords. That is why I write these words. For me to have the opporru n i ty to serve three terms on the board of regems has given me a p ro fo und respect for this u n iversity. My wife and I will cominue to be i nvolved, because we u nderstand that what we do today will have far-reach ing posi tive consequences for fu ture ge nerations. I wou ld like co thank Presidem Anderson fo r the opportun i ty to serve. The resources 111y wife and I have donated are nowhere equal to the friendships that r have made and the lessons I have learned. � As thefint pel'SO» of the jewish faith to serve on PLU's Boar'd ofRegents (1995-2005), Kurt !-.1aJ1er was instrumental in the develop ment ofthe universit)" s Holocaust Studies Progmm, which deals with the two major Christian religions' responsibility in the Holocaust. Through his intJolvement with the l&lphacl Lemkin AltJards, he has been impor tant in encouraging regular attendance among the jewish communilJ' at this annual et'ent. Kurt moved to Tacoma in 1 957 and estab lished the fil'st tJolume home·building compa n)' in the area. He laterfounded Ma)'cr Built Homes, 1nc., which specializes in subsidized and affordable housing. The compan), even tually expanded to Boi.ie, Idaho and DenFer, and is now operated b)1 his son, joseph. He has been im'olved in n umerous civic boards, including the Pierce Count)' Planning Com m ission, Pm-kland/Spanaway Comprehensive Plan AdtJisOIY Committee and the Martin Luther King Housing Development Association. His wife, Pam, volunteeredfor more than 20 ),ean, sttpporting PLU a·rts and bttilding the School ofFine Arts bom·d.
