h is year's Sankta Lucia festival at PLU will be a m ilescone celebration in the hiscolT of the holiday festivi ties. The festival, schedu led for Friday, Dec. 1 ,2000, marks the 50rh anniversary

of the PLU event. "For one thi ng, we no longer wake students in the wee morn ing hours," says

Susan Young, Lucia fes t coordinacor and director of the universi ty's Scandina vian Cultural Center. "Instead, Lucia is crowned at a private, sas h i ng ceremony that takes p lace just mo ments before the event begins. Until that mo ment) no one knows who has been selected." At the 2000 festival, Lola (Murk) Gracey '54, PLU's first Lucia, will do the honors. Following the sashing, a candelight program takes place i n Lagerq uist Concert Hall. It includes singing, dancing and a special visit from Tomtr (the Swed ish Santa Claus). This year's celebration also includes a private brunch for p ast Lucia.� aDd their guests on Saturday, Dec. 2. In the early years, Young says, the Lucia program was sponsored by the SPURS,

sophomore student service organization. The Scandinavian C ultural

Center took over sponsorsh ip i n recent years and, i n 1 999, I KEA, the Swedish furniture s tore in Renton, Wash ., became an official co-sponsor. As part of this year's Lucia program, tbe Lucia tdg (attendants) will take part in IKENs add i tional Dec. 13 Sankta Lucia festival. " It's a wonderfu l program, a.i med especially at children," says Young. Reservations are required for the Dec. 1 event. It stares at 7:30 p . m ., and the cost is $5 for adu l ts, $3 for students, and children under 1 2 are adm i tted free of charge. Phone 253-535-7322 for reservations and i n formation.

The pagean t was held in Tacoma at the Pan tages Theater on July 1. This is the first time in the pageant's 39-year h i s to ry that i t was held i n Tacoma. Ford, 1 9, scored the h ighest marks in a gradi ng system that was divided 40 percent fo r a talent competition, 30 percent for swimsuit and evening gown competitions, and 30 percent for interviews with the judges. She devoted many weeks prior to the pageant to improving her public speaking skills, practicing her chosen song "Art is Calling for Me," and exercising six days a week, in preparation for the three-da)! competition. Ford spoke about "Mentori ng Yo u t h Thro ugh Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Ameri ca" d u ri ng her onstage inte rview. Ford was i nvolved with the organization, worki ng with a second-grade student from Jefferson Elementary School i n Tacoma. The 1 998 graduate of Tacoma's Wilson High School won an $8,000 college scholarship and will represent Wash ington state o n Oct. 1 4 i n the M iss America Pageant in New Jersey.

Admissions recruiter gets training at ROTC boot camp B Y G R EG B R E W I S

ive days i n boot camp were enough to give Brian M iller a new appreciation of what ROTC can do fo r s t udents, both i nside and o u tside the classroom. M i ller, a transfe r student recru i te r i n the O ffice of Admissions at PLU, learned firsthand how ROTC trains scudents to be leaders at Camp Challe nge in Fort Knox, Ky. "I personally benefited fro m learning what i t takes to b e an e ffective leader," M iller said. " I also saw that to be e ffective, cadets m ust be both mentally and physically stro ng." For the cadets the camp runs five weeks and is designed to give participants a taste of m i li tary l i fe. M i ller was i nvi ted to join in the s horter trai ning-oriented leadership sympos i u m in late June that i ncluded fac ulty and staff fro m schools aro und the country with ROTC u n i ts.

"My Camp Challenge experie nce made me a better transfe r coord inator and recruiter both for ROTC and PLU," M i ller said. A s i m ilar p rogram was h e ld locally at Forr Lewis, Was h., this su mmer. Pau l Menzel, p rovost, and Terry M i l ler, dean o f the School o f Nursing, attended the th ree-day 2000 ROTC Advance Camp fo r educators and academic administrators. Recently, the u.S. Army Cadet Command ranked PLU's 97-member ROTC unit first i n the nation among 270 battalions. The ranking was based on the llllmber of lieu tenants produced, rete ntion rate, cadet academic and tra i n i ng pe rformance, and number of students i n the p rogram. PLU's ROTC is also a recognized leader in ed ucatio nal fundi ng, award ing more than$1 m i l lion in scholarsh i p m oney each year, far exceeding the amo u n t given by other p rograms nationwide.

n 1 958, three Pacific Lutheran College students tragically lost thei r lives in a car accident en rome to a L u theran Student Union convention i n South Dakota. This January Rev. Norris and Martha S to a established the M iriam Irene S toa Memorial Scho larship in memory o f their daugh ter, one o f the YOLUlg women who died in that accident. M i riam Stoa was born in 1 937, the Norris and Mcmha SIOQ

oldest of fo ur children. When she was 9 she read the Bible in i ts enti rety. She played the f1u te, earned many honors and h ad excellent grades in schoo!. She was a leader i n C hristian yo uth wo rk and was active at the L u therdale Bible Camp, held at Elk horn, Wis. In the fa ll o f 1 955 she enrolled at Pacific Lu theran College, where she was active in C h ris tian scudent affairs, the college band, SPU RS, and the college Chorale. During her j u n ior year, S toa served as studen t cou nselor and was a Ch ristian student l i fe leader. She hoped to become a parish worker and a Lutheran c h u rc h pastoral assistant. "We trust this scholarship in her name wil l, for many years, help several you ng people receive a

good C h ristian educatio n at Pacific LU[heran University," said the Stoas. Norris and Martha Stoa funded this scholar ship by contrib uting $50,000 through a PLU C hari table G ift A n nuity, a very popular life income gift veh icle among PLU donors, according to the PLU Development O ffice. The Stoas s t i pulated that the scholars h i p be awarded to L uthe ran students. One or two scholarsh ips of$1,500 to $3,000, will be made annually to a qualified PLU s tudent. Contributions to the Stoa fund are welcome. If you would like to learn more about the fund, the Charitable Gift Annuity, or any other life-income gift opportunity, please call Doug Page or Ed Larson at PLU's Development Office, at 253-535-8488, or 253·535-7177 or 1·800-826·0035.

Facing the job market with a multimedia portfolio

utting a resume on a CD is nothing new. PLU, however, has taken the idea a step further. It is called a Multimedia Digital Portfolio (MOP) and includes video testimonials, in addition ro a resume. "Companies that hire our graduates want evidence that they have the skills and abilities that enable them ro solve problems and help satisfy customer needs," says business Professor Thom Sepic. "In other words, that they possess the skills to perform up ro company expectations." He adds, "The MOP shows that our students are knowledgeable in the liberal arts and that they also underStand the importance of skills such as critical thinking, leadership, communication, team effectiveness and how ro m anage change. It shows that they have global awareness and discipli ne-based knowledge, and that they also h ave mastered technology." Sepic, whose background includes working as an employment interviewer for a national food service co mpany, knows what employers want. Working with Layne NOI-dgren 7 6 and Lindsay Tomac '98 of Media Se rvices, and Kirk Isakson, di recror of multimedia productions, Sepic explored ways ro demonsrrate ro prospective employers that a student is competent as well as '

knowledgeable. The MOP team also included PLU President Loren]. Anderson, education Dean Lynn Beck, arts Dean Kit Spicer, business Dean Don Bell, and education professor Matthew BatTin. A list of competencies (skill sets), used as a guideline for MOP content, was developed for the Schools of Business and Education. A set of mul timedia competencies was developed for s tudents who use technical skills in their P LU classes. "Ideally," continues Sepic, "as first year students work through the curricu lum, they will rate their classes against these competency guidelines and evaluate how their classes fit into the overall knowledge and skills they take with them when they graduate." Twenty-five students from business, educa tion and p hysical education took part in the initial workshop last fall. "During the year-long seminar, students learned to write scripts, videotape their assessors and create Web pages to h ighlight their competencies, each for a different audience: school dis tricts, corpo rations and graduate schools," Sepic said. At the same time, a multi media lab was assembled. "Since the April 14 opening, word about the project has spread and more students have asked about the process," Isakson says.

This summer, Sepic, at the invitation oOerry Berberet of the Association of New American Colleges, presented the MOP concept ro member institutions in Ithaca, N.Y. In addition, he pre sented the program at PLU's faculty fall confer ence earlier this month, "to start a cultural revolution to change the nature of the educational process at P LU," he says. "Engaging students in MOP projects early provides an activity around which to advance the cause of integrative learning at PLU, to advance a strong culture of assessment on campus, to support student technological competence, and ultimately to provide a major new roo l as students present themselves ro the outside world. This moves us further toward student-centered education where students are encou raged to actively engage in finding meaning and purpose in what they do," says Presid ent Anderson.

ew Internet-based companies are sprouting every day but finding people qualified enough to run them is not matching the speed of growth.

'multi-discipl ines' h ave h ardly been des igned yet. Bur P LU is taking a lead in meeting this need_ Using a grant awarded jointly by the Association for New American Colleges (ANAC) and the Hewlett-Packard company, several departments at the university are joining together to hold a seminar in late September to see what kinds of courses are needed ro educate the Internet-sawy professionals of the immediate future.

"We need some kind of blending between computer and art courses but so far we are not sure what shape this blending needs to be," says Kit Spicer, dean of PLU's School of the Arts. From the other s ide, George Hauser, c h air of the Computer Sciences and Computer Engineer ing Department, says that the Internet-related "jobs are differentia ting rapidly. Computer scientists were all that was required even five years ago to build an ebusiness on the Web but not anymore. Today the need is for \Veb designers and graphic anists who are also computer scientists and software engineers." Currently, there are three Internet-related jobs available for every student, Hauser says. Interested students are picking what they th ink they need from the available courses, across the curriculum, but there still isn't a conscious multi-disciplinary program to offer them, he explains. The proposed seminar will host academicians from other universities who are specialists in the arts, computer sciences, business, communica tions, theater, film, English and other disciplines, as well as people-including PLU alumn i-who are out in the field, working as graphic designers, film producers and film writers. They will come to campus to collaborate on evaluating the kind of integrated courses that are needed. The object is to prepare srudents with an understanding of how ro combine the d isparate media of text, so und (including voice and music), still photography and video in an artis tically viable way, using the digital media of computers and the Web. The emerging field goes by several names ranging from multi- ro new, digi tal, or nonlinear media. While the goal is to teach what is some times called visual lite racy, the skills also are clearly useful in the wider ebusiness market.

Faculty o ffice space also will be renovated. Formerly the u n iversity Library, Xavier Hall, was built in 1 937. At the end of May, Xavier Hall residems boxed textbooks, memorabilia, computers and office fu rniture, in preparation to vacate the buildi ng. While the 63-year-old structure is gutted and remodeled d ur ing the next year, perso nnel o f the D ivision of Social Sciences will share quarters i n Eastvold with KPLU and the theater department. This spring, the Board of Regents authorized the s tart of the renovation. �!ork began in August and completion is expected by June 4, 200 l . Partial funding has been received from the Ben B.

The pre-dawn walk across Kib b u tz Hasolelim, near Nazareth, gets the blood c i rc ul at ing. The call ro M us l i m prayer from a local mosque drifts over the fragran t air. A Scopes owl hoots from the trees. The k i bbutz peacocks send up their cries. Roosters out i n the Beth Nerofa Valley greet the sunrise. D raw two q u arts of water at the p u bl ic fou n tai n. A l i ttle pean u t butter on a s lice of bread serves as first b reakfast before the bus arrives. Everyone dozes on the jolting t r i p across the valley. The ruins of Cana loom through the misty l. ight. The hardest parr of the day is j ust ahead, a 1 S 0-meter climb ro the rop of the hiLl. You rs truly struggles to ke e p step with several young men.

"We h ope that prospective students w i l l u se the ra n k i ng s as a motivation to get out and visit the col leges they are consideri n g , " Polcyn said .

The d evelopment of a new long-ra nge plan for the u n iversity began last year with a series of town m eeti n g s in 24 loc o t i o n s - from Hong Kong and H e l s i n k i to Portland and Phoen i x - with 1 , 400 o lum n i , parents and fri e n d s of the u n iver sity partic i pati n g . From the written record o f t h e town meeti ngs and follow-up m aterial s u b m it

ted by participants, the m a j or themes held to be central to the future of PLU i nc l u d ed : the central ity a n d i m porta nce of the l i bera l arts, the u n iversity's Chr is tia n/Lutheran h eritage, the future i mportonce of tech nology, the i m por tonce a n d i mpact of i nternational study, a n d m ore one-on-o n e faculty-student i n teractio n . I n a d d i t i o n , constituents encoura g ed the university to m a i nta i n and strengthen its commitment to i nclusiveness, b u i l d m o r e prog ra m m i n g to conn ect with graduates a n d continue its com m itment to co-c u rricular activities.

Norwegian leader speaks of peace, democracy One of Norway's most i n fl uential peace negotiators gave the a n nua l B j ug Harstad Memorial Lect u re t h i s fa l l .

They were eager to shake hands and take p h oto graphs with the man who has spent h i s l i fe worki n g for world peace. W h i l e there are more d e m ocracies i n the world than ever before, Stoltenberg said the change has resu lted in rnore cri m e , mob activity a n d d rug trafficking in some areas. I n countries with new free ma rkets, people are losi n g their jobs. " !t makes people wonder i f the c h oice i s between democracy a n d order, we c h oose order," he said . Accord ing to Stoltenberg, there is a way to mainta i n both democracy and peace, and world organ i zations such as

the U n ited Nations and NATO are an i mportan t part of that. The week of his visit to PLU, Norway won a hard-fought battle for a seat on the UN Security Cou n c i l .

I 1.1 '0'\1, assistont professor of h istory, is the o u thor of a cho pter titled "Consumers Are Also Soldiers: Subversive Songs from N a n j i ng Road During the New Life Movement" i n the book "Inventing Nanjing Road : Commercial C u l ture i n Shanghai, 1 900- 1 945 , " edited by Sherman Cochran (Cornell University East Asia Series, 1 999) . The chapter argues that retailers in 1 930s Shanghai i ncorporated the m i l i tant, anti-capita list rhetoric of C h iang Kai-shek's New life Movement into their advertising campaigns by recasting consumers os soldiers who served the notion by shopping. In effect, their efforts to build a consumer society not anly inspired, but also swamped, a state-sponsored pol i tica l campaig n . I G N B I "l ON, associate professor of English and d i rector of the publishing and printing arts program, is the author of " Beauty and the Book" (Yale Un iversity Press, 2000), a cu ltural h i story of the post-World Wa r I publishing boom i n fine editions . Buyers of these deluxe editions were often critics of modern mass culture, satisfying their desire for social distinction and cultural superiority - i n addition ta their aesthetic ideals - by purchasing these books. Benton expla ins, however, that fine bookmaking embodied some trou b l i ng ambiguities as bookmakers were u nwi l l i ng to compro m i se with mac h i nery, populor taste or the bottom l i ne. f ' A n LL 0 ON I I I , I I FN , professor of rel igion, is a co-author of "The Catholic Experience of Small Christian Communi ties" (Paulist Press, 2000) . The book is the largest empirical study of smoll faith commun ities in the Roman Catholic C h u rch ever u ndertake n . Killen and h e r co-authors explain t h e attraction of these groups t o people of various ages, and report on the attitudes and practices of members an a range of rel ig ious and social issues. The authors also suggest ways that small faith com m u n i ties function as a venue for the formation of Catholic l i fe and practice that bridges mid-20'''-century eth n ic communities to the post modern world of the 2 1 " century. K i l len is also the author of a chapter titled "The Irish in Washi ngton State" i n "The Encycloped ia of the Irish i n America" (Un iversity of Notre Dame Press, 2000) . This article surveys the h i story of the Irish in what is today's Wash ington State, and shows how the experience of the Irish here cannot be explai ned using the dom inant interpretive categories af Irish-American h istory - neighborhood, porish, and union. Okl:.'\ M I LTON , visiting assistant professor of politicol science, is the author of "The Rational Politici a n : Exploiting the Medio in New De mocracies" (Ashgate Publishing, 2000) . Milton exa mi nes the role and status of the news med ia during the transition to democracy in post-com munist East Central Eu rope. He finds that efforts to free the media from the ties that bound them (to the state) were often thwo rted by political actors seeking to exploit the media for their own ends. ,\

Fulbright Scholars spark PLU's global perspective BY

PLU's Fulb r ight Scholars have s mdied inte rna ti o n al relations i n Germany, literature i n No rway and environmental smdics i n I ndia. B u t many say the most i m p o rtant le�sons wcren't learned in the classroom-as unique cultures and challenges opened the doors ro self-discovery. "My year over there was both the best time of my life and the most dif ficu l t," said Jeremy M a n ga n '98, who smdied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. "When you're on yo u r own, you s tart t o see things I n a d i f ferent way." In recognition of the 25th anni versary of PLU's involvement i n the Fllibright program, man)' of the 5 1 PLU graduates who have been aw.:trded the p re s tig i ous scholarship recurned for a reunion d u ring H ome coming wcekcnd. Profess I' emeritus Rodney Swenson, thL� heart and soul

of the PLU p rogram, pre se n red the H eritage Lecture, and e ight alums p art i c i p a t e d i n a panel discussion afterwards. Many came ro p ay trib u te ro Swenson, who retired in the s p ring after teach ing Ge rman s ince 1 968. He contin ues ro work with F u l b right ap plicaI1Cs. "The th rust of the program i s an investmenc in pcace, and onc of the best wa)!s [0 do that is ro have young people l iving and wo rking i n o ther cultu res," Swenson said. "Th is has become my crusade." After his lectu re abou t the im portance of language and b roadening horizons, panelists took to the podium. One after another, alums rold tales of their years abroad and thanked Swenson for e ncourag i n g them ro p u rsue the Fulb right, the U.S. gov 'rn menc's remier scholar ship program. The Fulb right was

created after World War I I, wi th the goal o f fostering m u tual u nders tand ing among nations. Ann Marie Mehlum '75, PLU's first Fulbright winner, was back on campus fo r her fi rst Homecoming. Mehl u m, CEO of Access Broadcast i ng, an Imernet marke t in g company in Eugene, O re . , said she didn't real ize when she won the Fulbright i n 1 975 that I t was so im p o rtant. " I t was a fab ulous year," she said after hearing the former students

speak. "It was everything they all talked abQut." Associate p rovost Bill Teska said that all i n ternational p rograms have grown at PLU, and they offer core curriculum emp has izing a global per s p e c t ive . " I t is critical to be preparing our students to be global ci tizens," he said. "We are giving our students the rools they need to navigate through an increasingly i n ter-con nected world."

"It's the consistent form of communication with everyone ... the one thing that can keep people connected to the u niver sity." "Lost" alumni often call the office with updated contact informa tion when they h ave stopped receiv ing Scene. "You may not notice when you don't get the annual giving let ter, but you do notice when you don't get Scene," Hagen said. In three decades, Scene has seen five editors, fou r PLU p residents, and more class notes than the magazine's many faithfu l p roofreaders wish to contemplate. Contribu tors h ave come and gone, and many individu als merit recognition for their dedication to Scene. First and fore most is Jim Peterson, who took the helm during Scene's inaugural issue, and stayed on as editor until 1 994. Ken Dunmire's p horographs graced Scene's pages until 1 995. And the late H arvey Neufeld '54, direcror of church relations emeritus, wrote his "Travelin' \Vith Harv" colu mn for 22 years.

Scene has seen physical changes ranging from paper grade, to p rint quality and graphic design. The times h ave changed, and Scene has changed along with them. In the mid - 1 980s, the magazine's printing process went completely electronic, and today, articles are submitted via email, designed on sophisticated computers and p rinted on an elec tl'onic full-color p ress. While the style of Scene may h ave changed, the sub stance stays strong. Certain values continue to emerge, year after year: service to the community and to the world, as well as servant leadership; care for the earth and its inhabitants; prepara tion for the future; seeing and changing the world, both during and after the PLU experience; inquiry inro what a Lutheran education is, and why it is important. In short, PLU has been " Educat ing for Lives of Thoughtful Inq uiry,

Scene readers' fasci nation with Class Notes is easy to expl ain. As alumni move away and begin new s tages in their lives, keeping in touch becomes more complicated. I n a world where it sometimes seems easier to d rift apart than stay con nected, Class Notes are the glue that binds PLU's alumni community to gether. Reviewing the 30 years of mar riages and births, job p romotions and awards that Scene has chronicled, certain patterns become apparent.

First, PLU is a family institution. Couples have announced marriages and the births of their children-and many of those kids themselves be come alumni. Second, P L U is conti nually growing. While enrollment grows steadily, the body of those who call themselves "Lutes" grows imm ensely with every entering class-and ac cordingly, Class Notes grows longer and richer. The most end uri ng pattern that e merges is the strength of the PLU community. Class Notes routinely profile gatherings and even ts that bring together alumni from 20, 30 or even SO years ago to catch lip on busy lives and remember old times.

"Profiles," colTtm::rd

Still, alumni l ike Morken share their fellow Lu tes' dedication to ser vice. While M o rken has been one of PLU's most generous donors, h is de votion of time is even more impres sive. He is a PLU regent, a class representative, and a Q Club mem ber. He was the National C hairman of PLU's "Make a Lasting Difference" campaign in the 1 990s, and is cur rendy a National Co-Chair of the Steering Commi ttee for "The Cam paign for Pacific Lutheran Univer siry: The Next Bold Step." It was hard, al most i m possible, to narrow the gigantic list of capti vating, touching and inspiring p rofiles that have graced Scene's pages. PLU shou ld be most proud of that fact.

Over the years, Scene has chronicled PLU's special effort to remain connected to its Norwegian heritage. On several occasions, members of the Norwegian royal family have come to campus. Here, President Anderson shows the Norwegian crown prince. Haakon, a sculpture on lower campus titled "Generations of Oak" during his visit in 1 999. The sculpture, created by Kathryn Wold, was dedicated by his mother, Queen Sonja, in 1 995.

s Scene has grown and changed throughout the years, so has PLU. Scene began with the very".orange cover of the inaugural issue in September 1 9 70, featuring what lVas then the newly constructed University Center. More recently, the shiny new W. M . Keck Observatory graced the Winter 1 9992000 cover. And this issue's cover features (along with the history of PLU growth) South Hall, which just opened its doors to students. I n 3 0 years, the list of new build i ngs i s impressive and varied.

When the UC opened i ts doors, ASPLU occupied the rooms down the hall from the Mooring Mast. One can only imagine what interesting exchanges occurred late at night on the mezzanine level.

PLU sported i ts own bowling alley u n r i l lack of use and a need fo r more comp uter user rooms forced a re model. The computer center opened in 1 9 95. Now in 2000, PLU awaits com pletion of the Xavier Hall reno vation, a $5 m i l l io n project the first of three capirol projects funded the Campaign fo r Pacific Lutheran University: The Next Bold Step. \Vhatever the fUTu re holds, it is certain that new and in novative planning will be reported in Scene.

vian Cultural Center looks like it has always been a part of the University Center, it is a relatively recent addition. Scene caught up with construction crews in 1 988 as they renovated a former storage space to create the new center.

THROUGH M Y PARENTS I 'VE LEARNED L I F E I S N 'T A B O U T M E , I T' S A B O U T H E LPI N G OTHERS . " -J ENNY ADAMS

iving can mean differen t things. Jenny Adams '03 bel ieves giving is helping others by "providi ng all you can for the peo ple aro u nd you . " " I learned abo u t giving from my parents," said Adams. "They serve i n leadership p os i ti o ns i n their c h u rch, and o pt'rate a Chehalis area clothing ban k." It's not j u s t giving within the com m u ni ty that makes Adam's fam i ly unique. In a fam ily of eight chi ldren, Adams is one of six adop ted with d isabi lities-she was born with a rare d isease that caused her arms and legs not to develop. ;\dams' older and younger broth ers h ave Down Syn drome, and three other siblings h ave spastic dysplasia, a condition that affects muscle control. "In our fam i ly, there is no separation be tween d isabled and non-disabled," said Adams. "We are a family and are all the same." Adams, who uses an electric wheelchair, believes her disab i l i ty has helped mold her i n to the giving young woman she is today. "I've been taught patience , "Adams said. "Through my parents, I've learned l i fe isn't abo u t me. It's about helping ot hers." As a studen t atten ding PLU on fi nancial aid,

Adams conti nues to help others by maintaining a membership i n the Q Cl u b . "People sometimes focus so m uch on people's needs away fro m their co m m u nity t h a t they forget abou t the com m u n i ty around them," Adams SJid. "Hel p ing the people aro u n d you and seeing them being cared for-that's tbe d i rect reward ." Adams, a psychology major, si ngs i n the Chapel Choir, is active i n

the campus Christi an co m m u n i ty, and works as a telefund -raiser for the An n u al Fund. " Wh en I'm calling people, I have a connection," she said. ''I'm a stu dent, and 1 give. I'd l i ke others to give, too. It's such a wo rthy cause." What's her advice for givi ng) G ive, no matter what the size of the donation is. " Even a small gift can make a big d i fference. When we all contri b u te, it adds u p . "

I · perspective Walking with Hope BY J U L I A P O M E R E N K

' 83

have a dog named Hope. We go for walks every day. She is always eager for her walks, stretc h i ng by the window and dancing by the front door. She wiggles and waits for me to attach her leash to her collar. Once we get out the door, 1 am l i terally pulled by Hope every day. There are three other ways that we can be pulled by hope into each new day. Scripture can pull us. So can songs. So can su pport from our sister and brother believers. Our hope may be so strong that we become as eager for our fai t h "walks" a s m y d o g H o p e is for h ers. \Ve may even dance as H o pe does.

Scripture

Julia Pomerenk '83 and her dog, Hope.

TH E R E ARE THREE OTHE R WAYS THAT WE CAN BE PULLED BY HOPE INTO EACH NEW DAY. SCRIPTURE CAN PULL US. SO CAN SONGS. SO CAN SUPPORT FROM OUR SISTER AND BROTHER BELIEVERS OUR HOPE MAY BE SO STRONG THAT WE BECOME AS EAGER FOR OUR FAITH "WALKS" AS MY DOG HOPE IS FOR HERS. WE MAY EVEN DANCE AS HOPE DOES.

Scripture from the fi rst chapter of I Peter an nounces hope as God's great merciful gift to us. Verse three stares: "By his great mercy he has given us a new b i rt h i nr o a l iving hope through the res urrection ofjesus Christ from the dead." This hope is the stu ff of life and death and resurrec tion, and you can 't get much stronger than tha t ! This hope is powered b y resurrection. A n d comes with double death-defying visions: new birth and a living hope. God knows that we are bruised by death , so God gives us a new birth i n to a living hope. God gives us this gift of hope every day, and as many t imes a day as we need. \'(Ie get to begin again. Do over. G rab the gift of a new birth into a living hope.

Song Every day, hope can pull at us by songs we hear and sing. Do you h ave songs i n your head? Words and tunes that come to you when you need them? Tunes that can carry you? Songs t hat create for you a new heart and renewed hope? Ever since I can remember, my fam i ly has sung "Children of the Heavenly Father." We sing the hymn at baptisms, funerals, weddings and even on ord i nary days-whenever we want to re member the l ayered memories of that melody. One after noon we hadn ' t remembered to sing our song. We had been talking in lowered tones in my Aunt Esther's k i tchen. Esther was in the

downstairs bedroom. She was just days away fro m death. We didn't feel l i k e singing. Then w e heard the voice of S igi, her pastor, singing o ur song for Esther, and for us. \Ve lleard our suffering and our rejoicing being sung for us. "Though he giveth o r h e taketh, God his c h i ld ren ne'er forsaketh." I am glad to h ave the hope of that song i n my

heart.

Support When I picture the su pport of the faith commu n i ty, I see the circle of the faithfu l gathered at Tri n i t}' Lutheran Church in Pullman, Wash., and Paul Klavano, a longtime member, giving me hope through hugging. Paul is an elder of the faith and a giver of bear h ugs. With delight and with years of hugging expe rience, Paul and I prepare for the hug itself, with steps as established as an Olympic athlete's warm up. We place ourselves d i rectly in front of each other and stretch Out our anns to be sure to have sufficient space for ful l arm exten sion. Then Paul ru bs his hands in anticipation, and the hug com mences. Pau l all but picks me up and off my feet when he hugs me. I hold the feel of a Paul Klavano bear h u g in my memory as a strong i mage of the support I can claim fro m my brothers and sisters in fai th. We're almost dancing at the front door-we are pulled by hope wi th a hug. My hope for us all is that we embrace this gift that God gives us: a new birth into a l iving hope. May we take the gift, given through mercy and grace, and walk with hope. When I take my dog Hope for a walk, she pu lls o n her leash. As she pulls me past people, they of ten ask: "Who's walking who?" I usually respond with the expected answer: "She's walk ing me." As I begi n again, walking with hope, may I respond with the unexpected answer: " Hope is p u l l i ng mc." May hope pull us al l .

"Contemporary sociology is the o mcome o f histo rical causes," Kraig said. "You can't take o u t a cleaver and separate today fro m the past." Kraig used to teach 20rh Century American History with more conventional methods. I ncre.as i ngly, Kraig noticed that students were n o t taki n g lessons learned ftom lectures a n d textbooks and applying them to the world they l ive in. " 1 had noticed what I fel t was a tremendo u s ly d i m i n i s hed recognition of contemporary society," she said. In a n effort to show students how con temporary p roblems and issLles connect to h isto rical themes, Kraig made readi ng the New York Ti mes a regular assignment-and requ i red a m i n i m u m of 2 0 hours of commun ity service.

"In Norway, everyone gets the same chance," Mo ksnes said. "If yo u're poor in Norway, you nor mally get all the help you need." Tjernsli said that it was a surprise to come to the United S tates and see firsthand the differences betwee.n social p rograms i n the two coun tries. "There are no homeless people in Norway," s h e said . "That was n e w for me t o see." ]n addition to tasks ranging fro m p l aying wi th kids to making them snacks, M o ksnes researched the h isto ry of Head S tart, while Tj ernsli studied poverty in America. The in tent of requiring service, Kraig said, was to i mpress upon students that "actual l iving, breathing h u man beings all around them-includ ing [the students themselves J-are enmeshed i n recen t h istory a n d the past." "There are no cookie-cu tter sol utions to social p toblems," she said. "You may think yo u have the perfect answer, but somebody already tried i t 30 years ago."

For the last five years, the Choral Union has been col laborating with Northwest Sinfonictta. Chris tophe Chagnard, S i n fo nictta director, h as made the Choral Union its chorus of choice fo r performing m aj o r choral l iterature. PLU m us ic p rofessor Richard Nance has con d u ctcd the Choral Union since 1 99 3 . M ajor works performed during that time include Beethoven's "Mass III C," Bernstein's " C h i c h e s te r Psalms," B ritten's " Rejoice i n the Lamb," Bruckner's " M as s i n E M i n o r," Handel's "Messiah," Mozart's "Re quiem," R utter's " R e qui e m " and Vivaldi's "Gloria."

The Chora l U n i o n's selec tion came after a rigo ro us taped audition p rocess in competition against othcr community choi rs at the state, division and national levels. This marks thc Choral Union as one of the elite choruses in the cou ntry. With more than 6,000 people expected to atte nd, t h i s convention is the largest gathering of profes�ional choral musicians in the world. " Being selected to perform is one of thc great , r honors that can be bes towed on a choral organization," Nance said. "It is truly a once-in-a l i fetime oppo rtun ity."

i th the rapi d s u rge i n technology making it inc re asingly easier co disseminate information, many uni versities are finding w ays co educate srudencs who never step o n cam pus. PLU, while em braci ng the technological ad vances that can enrich education, holds fast co i ts bel ief that the best l ea rn i ng takes p lace in person. " O ur fun damenral approach is co apply tech nology, including d istance learni ng, to the i m p rovemenc and enrichment of ex i s tin g courses and programs and modes of instrucrion," President Loren Anderson said. So far, no co mp le te courses are o ffered o n l i ne, and the u niversiry has vowed i t won't o ffer com p lete degree programs via the I n ternet. " We have said very clearly that we will h ave no distance learning delivered degree progra ms pe riod," Provost Paul Menze l said. Still, administrarors and fac u l ty acknowledge there is much co be gain e d by incorporating tec h n o lo gy. " \Ve are ca ki n g a conservative, go-slow ap p roach on this," said C h r i s t i ne Moon, ass oc iate p ro fesso r o f psychology and chair of the Educa tional Policies Committee. "It's clear that distance learning is going to grow, and I don't think we should quickly rule out applications at PLU. It has great potencial." Sti l l, everyone recogn i zes the i mportanc learn i n g that goes on i n a c lass roo m , when b right srudents and an i nspiring professor meet. That is all part of PLU's mission of educating srudencs for l ives of thoughtful inqui ry. " \X!e value the spontaneity that comes fro m face-to-face i n teraction an d Y O Ll just can't m i m i c t h a t , " Menzel s a i d . What abom speaking skills?" M e n zel asks. "They're an i mportant part of our educatio n . " Distance education and o n l i n e learning are hot topics across the cou ntry. The Chronicle for H igher E ducation devotes da i ly coverage to dis tanc e l earni ng , and the concept has been profiled in na t i o na l illagazines in recent weeks. \Vh ile many in higher education a p p laud e fforts for o n l i ne learning and see it as a way co reach more students, others fea r i t dimi n ishes the qua.lity o f education and could even create an elitist system, i n which wealthy students receive d egrees from tra d i tional l l1stitutions and the less fortu nate end up with digital diplomas.

"The USE' of technology to enhance teaching and lea.rning without losing the PLU character is what we're really i n terested in," Harney said. There has been talk of offering some courses to students who live at a di sta n ce , such as t h e master's courses i n education, n u rsi n g a n d b u s i ness.

Developi ng excellence For Pacific Lutheran, the idea of b u s iness has been there all along. More than a h undred years ago, in the infancy of what now is Pacific Lutheran Universi ty, s tood Pacifi c Lutheran Academy and Busi ness Col lege. In a time where "busi ness" was considered not mLlch more than men taking pens to a ledger, the teaching of b u s i ness started on the Pacific Lutheran campus. In the 1 9 305 came the De pression, and the inrerru ption of trust associated wi th the idea o f b usi nes5. For the years that fol lowed at Pacific Lutheran, a school of busi ness learni n g seemed l i ke a dream deferred. In 1 95 9 , Pacific Ludl eran Col lege was fi rmly planted as a weU respected li beral arts college, b ur something was missing. President Seth Eastvo ld wanted a School o f l)usiness-with ideas , va.l ucs, profess i o nal d i rection, and a sense of busi ness and its role in the p ro fessional world. The challenge was even greater for PLC-tcach b u s i ness, with o u t losing the liberal arts base and the Lurheran va.lues of fai t h , service and trll tho Eastvol d s u m moned Dwight Zulauf, a one-time PLC faculty mem ber i.n eco n o m i cs and business ad ministratio n , who was then i n a doctoral program in M i n nesota. ZlI lall f in tu rn asked his friend Gundar Ki ng-a doctoral cand idate who had received his MBA from Stanford i n 1 958-to help him coille u p with a c u rriculum p roposal that wou ld s tarr the new schoo l. What they carne up with were the begi nnings. They had convinced some highly regarded deans of p resti gious busi ness schools to aid them with advice and cou nsel in the build ing of the Pacific Lutheran program. They had an emphasis on econ o mics, accou n ting, general b u s i ness-and the now antiquated secretarial sci· ence. They had a strong fO llndation,

said King. While the serious strands of a bus iness school started to come together at PLU, so did the examina tion of business education in America. In 1 960, both the Ford and Carnegie Foundations did concen trated stud ies on busi ness cd uca tion-exam i n ing what was working, and what was not.

PLU business was at the right p l ace at the right time with the right p h i losophy. Eastvold wanted all accredited school with an exceptional repurati o n , and it was the pe rfect time to make i t happen. He entrusted the School of Busi ness to Zu lauf, who became the first dean . There were many challenges i n the beginning, fro m wo rking toward accreditation to keeping the l iberal arts fo un dati on of Pacific Lutheran in tact-with 50 percent liberal arts classes, 50 percent b u s iness studies as an estab lished req u i rement.

At a rural school in Ahuano, Peterson created an English curricu lum and taught students from grades K- 1 2 .

" I feel that PLU gave m e a broader perspective of the world," Peterson said. "They helped develop my communication skills, and the p rofessors have been personal and dedicated. The School o f B usi ness also does an exceptional job of foster ing student desires ro go abroad." Peterson's global education has only begun.

Since 1 987, School o f Business alumni and students have supported PLUS Business, one o f the strongest

alumni organizations at PLU. Over the years, PLUS Busi ness has contin ued ro provide a vital link between alumni and current business stu den ts, faculry and staff. Alumni meet and renew ties with other business Lutes, and students have the o p por tunity ro meet our graduates. I ts Ca reer Mentorsh ip Program connects inq u i ring business majors with alumni in various careers and indus tries. All PLUS Business membership donations go i n to the p rogram, and support i ncludes the $2,000 scholar ship awarded ro an outstanding busi ness student. Addi tional "supporting member" donations have sponsored the refurbishment o f the PLUS Busi ness enhanced classroom, the p u r chase o f technology equi pment, and the development of a website on the I n ternet. The School o f Busi ness recently asked even more o f their dedicated alumni by req uesting their parricipa tion in a comprehensive survey. More than 1 , 1 0 0 alums have already an swered Dean Bell's request ro "tell it like it is," and con tinue ro do so on the School's website (wwwplu. edu/ -busa/survey.html). The School i s pleased with t h e results s o far: of in ternational graduates, 84 percent gave high l11.arks ro the i m pact of their PLU education as preparation for their cu rrent job; 71 percent of all alums gave h igh marks ro the overall value of their education . "Our al umni are enthusiastically loyal ro the school," Bell said. "\Ve are indebted ro all who rook the time ro share their responses with us." Bell also nores the greatest value for the fu ture is the c ri ticism, rather than the praise. By far the largest number of suggestions have been related to the need for PLU and the Schoo l of Busi ness to u tilize h i gher levels o f technology i n the curricu lum and for student use. Luckily for the School of Business, they have made major stri des i n this area with the design o f a new learning and tec h nology buildi ng, which will house the encire School o f Business along with Math & Compute r Sci ence.

Haroldson to retire after 200 1 -2002 season

Pacific Luthera n men's basketball head coach Bruce Haroldson has announced his retirement from coach ing and teaching follOWing the conclusion of the 200 1 -02 school year. Haroldson entered this season, h i s 1 8 th at Pocific Luthera n, with a 226-222 record . He led the lutes to Northwest Conference titles in 1 9 85 and 1 9 86. Noren ronks third in winning percentage

Rick Noren starts his seventh season as heod coach of the PlU softba ll team ranked third in the nation for winning percentage among active NCAA Division III coaches. Noren, who has led his lutes to five North west Conference titles in the past six seasons, has v

< ...

compi led an outstanding 1 98-54-1 record and a .785 winning percentage. Noren has taken four of his PLU teams to national tournament competition. Pacific Lutheran has advanced to the NCAA West Region tournament in both 1 999 and 2000, compiling a 75- 1 2- 1 record in the process. Lute Club revitalized

Lute Club, Pacific Lutheran's athletic booster and fund ra ising organization, is in its revitalization process. Since the early 1 970s, Lute Club h as provided funds for the PlU ath letic department. These funds are used to defray costs such as travel for lute teams and assisting individuals qualifying for national-level competition. In recent years, however, lute Club has been less active.

Pacific lutheran's switch three years ago to NCAA affiliation has eliminated the need to raise dollars for na tional travel, but there are other necessities with i n the department, like facility improvement, equi pment pur chase and out-of-reg ion travel expenses. As a member of lute Club, you will invest di rectly i n the success of lute athletes and t h e PLU ath letic program for th is year and years to come. Individuals interested in making a tax-deductible gift to lute Club can do so by writing a check made out to lute Club. Send the check to: Lute Club, Development Office, Pacific lutheran Un iver sity, Tacoma, WA, 98447. A lute Club brochure, i ncluding a members hip form, will be mailed in the spri ng.

"Graduates who attended our PLU 20 1 0 spoke o f the excellen t b us i n ess education they received, bu t expressed regret that their education was not more o ri ented to the use and understanding of new technologies," Anderson said.

2000), a book

written by her husband, Dr. Travis Cavens.

n 1 979, af(er a decade o f closed borders, repression and systematic killings, news o f Calllbodia's "Asian Holocaust" leaked to (he international media-and h u ndreds of thousands o f refugees began streaming i n to Thailand by any means possible. First lady Rosalynn Carter paid a visit to r e fugees in Sakeo, a Thai border camp. The desperate needs she outlined i n a Time maga zine cover story prompted a Portland, Ore. businessman, Ron Post, to call a p ress confer ence discussing the refugee problem and call i n g fo r volunteers for a new relief organization. Dr. Phyllis Cavens ' 6 1 , a ped iatrician i n the sou thwest Wash ington town of Longview, read the article and heard POSt'S press confer ence. Within two weeks, she was on a plane to Thai land, and her 22-year association wi(h the newly formed Northwest Medical Teams had begun. Since 1979, Cavens leaves her pediatric practice in Longview to make war and disaster re lief visits to Ethiopia in 1 985, Somalia in 1 992, Honduras in 1 998 and multiple trips to Mexico and other areas where Northwest Medical Teams has ongoing programs. "Basically, the in ternational relief response beg i ns as soon as CNN tells us there's a prob lem," Cavens said. \Vhen Hu rricane M itch rav· aged Hondu ras, Cavens was there within a week.

Once i n a coun try, Cavens' d i saster re lief team coord j na u � s with local agencies to determine which a reas a r e h a r d e s L h i t . After (raveling to those areas, Cavens and her fel low wo rkeLs make contacts with local o fficials. M any o f the cases C avens sees while 0 1 1 a war or disaster re l ie f mission are d i rectly tied to the disaster at hand. In Hon d uras, fo r example, she treated pneu monia in p e o p l e w h o had lost thei r homes, diarrhea from contamina(ed water and SOreS on the legs and feet of chil dren who walked barefoot t h ro l l g h bacteria-laden mud after sewage systems flooded. "The solution fo r diarrhea costs 10 cents," Cavens s a i d . "For pneumonia, we use pe n ici l li n- u n der SO cenlS a s h o t . Vcry inexpensive medicine can do a lot. I t can save a life." In addition to disaster-relat >d ailments, however, Cavens sees dozens of children whose b as i c health needs have not been met. I n Honduras, a mother brought her 1 0 -l1lonth-old daughter to Cavens fo r an exam ination. One of the girl 's pu pils was co m p letely white. Cavens knew the c h i ld was sufferlng fro m retinoblastoma, or cancer of the eye, and needed a n op eration to save her l i fe. Because Noreh, est Med ical Teams had aLread)! made con· tacts with local officials, Cavens was able to coordinate a dd i tional assistance through a Catholic priest i n l'v!o razan. After Norehwest Medical Teams left, the girl and her fam i ly were transported to the Hondu ran capital by Caretas, a Catholic re lief agency. The agency flew i n an American s urge o n r o re move the cancerous eye, saving the l ittle girl's l i ft'. "That's really why I k eep going," Cavens said. "There's s much acu te need in these s i tuations that witho u c care, chil dren will die. J LIst bein g there and be i ng a pediarrici an can save a l i fe . "
