searched through my old box of UD stuff to prove it, but alas came up empty. If I still had my hat, I’d tip it to the Red Scare. Keep it up.
LIBRARY KUDOS
Thanks for the article about the University Libraries [“Not Your Father’s Library Anymore,” Winter 2015-16]. Kudos to the library staff and Kathy Webb [dean of libraries] for keeping the libraries relevant in a rapidly changing world. When I look at the photo on Page 25, the only thing I recognize is the security system gate! The changes in programs and services are even more impressive than the new decor. Bravo!

My University of Dayton Magazine featuring a painted Red Scare fan on the cover arrived in the mail on the same day as my Marianist ALIVE magazine with a cover photo of Pope Francis.

One suggestion, though (and others may disagree): I attended a basketball game maybe in 2002 or 2003 to see what the hype was about, and I remember feeling disappointed at the widespread booing (led by the scoreboard and the UD cheering section) as the other team’s players were introduced. At a University so concerned with social justice and human dignity, it just seemed out of place. Perhaps a respectful silence would be more sportsmanlike?

FAMILY PHOTO?

POPE AND POLICY
provided accurate models (predictability being the very basis of science) must be cautious, lest we harm the poor and hungry needlessly, not to mention ourselves.
A big problem is that the environmental movement is in no way like the Civil Rights Movement [“Putting Pope Francis’ Encyclical Into Practice,” Winter 2015-16]. One was a moral issue, through and through. The environment is, in spite of the specious “97 percent of scientists” claim, still scientifically in flux, but few deny we should do something. Doing something based on current data, however, which have not 6

FROM THE BOTTOM OF HER HEART
To the student dressed as the Minion at Christmas on Campus: Thank you for your participation! [“Meet the Minion,” UDQuickly, Dec. 10, 2015]. I’m a 2005 alumna and was able to bring my 3-year-old daughter to her first Christmas on Campus this year. She enjoyed every minute, including getting to meet the Minion!! You did a wonderful job :) I’m sure it will be a memory you carry for a long time. CATHERINE
