PLU President Loren J. Anderson and Reg ent Don Morken unveil a d rawing of the future Morken Center for Learning and Technology.

Center for Learning and Technology named for Morken family he state-of-the art Center fo r Learning and Technology will bear the n ame o f a fam i ly with a long history of suppo rting PLU. Construction began with a ground breaking for the first p h ase of the proj ect and a naming ceremony in M ay. The new home of the School of Business, the D epartment of Compute r Science and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mathematics is now known as The Morken Center for Learning and Technology. The name honors Don Morken '60 and his family, who for decades have been deeply i nvolved i n tbe PLU community as friends, volunteers, counselors and financia.l s upporters. "The new Cen ter for Learning and Technology will become a m ajor attrac tion for the best and b rightest students, but just as importantly, i t will help PLU continue to attract top-cali ber p ro fes sors who wish to teach i n an environ ment that facilitates learning at an advanced l evel, u ti lizing i n the p rocess the most advanced technology, " 4 PLU SCENE FALL 2002 > HERE & NOW

Morken said d u ring a groundbreaking luncheon i n M ay. M o rken is a member of the Board of Regents and currently serves as the chairman of the Investment Sub Committee. H e has p reviously served as chair of its Budget and F inance Commi ttee. He was awarded the PLU D istinguished Alumnus Award in 1 9 9 6 for h i s pro fessional disti nction i n t h e field o f i nvestment management and his outstanding dedicatio n and service to PLU, and is co-chair of The Campaign for Pacific Lutheran Universi ty: The Next Bold Step. Morken's father, Ed, served on the Board of Regents from 1 949 to 1 966. H i s aunt, R. Eline Kraable M o rken, was dIrector of the PLU School of Nursing fro m 1 9 5 3 to 1 967. H i s daugh ter, Sonya (Morken '00) Prata, is an M B A graduate, a n d his son-in-law, Anthony Prata, is a student. Both are continuing the Morken tradition o f involvement in and s uppOrt for PLU as m e mbers of Q Club. M orken and h i s wi fe, Wanda, have p rovided financial su pport for tbe gen eral operating b udget, the endowment, the Genesee Scholars h ips, the Morken Fami ly Endowed Scholarshi p and K PLU. They have encouraged others to

give through Q Club chal lenge gifts and have themselves participated in Q Club at i ts h ighest level. Tbey bave also provided fu nds to establish the first D istinguished Professorship at tbe uni versity and they co-endowed the Raphael Lemkin Prize for an annual s tudent essay competition abou t geno cide. They are members of PLU's H eritage Society and Lifetime G iving Society. In April 2000 the Morken fam ily made a com mi tment to p rovide lead funding for The Center for Learni ng and Technology. An in.itial gift is fu nd ing the planning and the first p hases of construction o f the building. Through past and future com mitments made to the university, the Morkens also will fund an endowment that will help ensure the future of the facility. The Morken Center will be located on lower campus west of Rieke Science Cen ter. To date more than $ 1 1.5 m i llion has been raised for construc tion of the $ 1 9 million faci l i ty.

Janet E . Rasm ussen was appoi nted di rector o f the center for i ts inaugural year. The center was fund ed late last year through a $4 million gift from Peter Wang '60, and his wife G race. "Janl?t has a passion for inte rnational educa tion that will p rovide the Wang Center with a strong foundation and take PLU's international J a net Rasmussen p rograms to a new level," said PLU President Loren]. Anderson. "Sh e is deeply com m i tted to developing new i n ternational opportu-

n ities fo r both students and faculty." Rasmussen was a professor of No rwegian and Scand inavian Studies at PLU from 1977 to 1991, and during that time served as dean of Hu m an i ti es, chair of the Dep a rt men t of Languages and L i terature and c oordt n a to r of the Sca nd i n av i an Area Stud ies Program.

The 6-3 ruling was issued inJune, resolving a 1995 lawsuit comending that universities with a church affi li.a tion should be ineligible to received state supp0r(. The court ruled that the EOG program was designed to men the critical needs of students, not to foster religion or religious worship. "There were two win ners," said Loren ]. Anderson, presidem of PLU. "High need, place bound students can co min ue their ed ucation at a college of their choice, and taxpayers can ensure an education fo r these studen ts without the huge expense of add ing capacity to the state university system." The EOG p rogram p rovides $2,500 annual grants to financially needy Stu dems who can only atte nd a college close to home because of work or fam i ly com m i tmems.

"We see i t as a reflection of the dedicated efforts, com mitment and gene rosity of our donors and volunteers and their belief i n this place and the vitality of our mission." The annual fund, which p rovides crit ical fin ancial support for the university, hit record levels last year, both i n money raised and t h e rate of alum ni participation. For the first time, more than 5,000 people con tributed to the fund that helps PLU meet day-to-day expenses. The percentage of alum ni who contributed jumped from 17 to 20 percent. Both milestones helped the annual fund reach a goal of $2.5 million. This year a special teleph one cam paign that targeted firs t-time donors resulted in more than SOO new donors to the annual fund . Lauralee Hagen, director of alumni and parent relations, says even small donations make a dif ference. "It's not how much you give, but that you give that is i m portant."

The award, which honors superior fund-raising programs across the coun try, is based on a juried analysis of data PLU submits. This year nearly 1,000 universities were eligible, and only 47 of them won an award. This places PLU in the top 5 percent of the eligible univer sities and the top 2 percent of universi ties nationally. At the end of the fiscal year, May 3 1 , t h e campaign stood a t more than $ 102 mil lion-a new record and $30 million more than the successful Make a Lasting Diffe rence campaign that raised $72 mil lion.

Now i t's l ikely Ryan will fi nish Heyerdahl's last book - his final words on the Kon-Ti ki exped i tion, which the two had been working o n before Heyerdahl died April IS at age S7. By chance, Ryan saw Heyerdahl, an esteemed anth ropologist, archeologist and author, at the Royal Geographical Society in London a decade ago. Ryan pushed his way up to talk to h i m, and they chatted for half an hour. A couple years later, Ryan went to see Heyerdahl at his home on the Canary Islands, and discovered Heyerdahl needed someone to help h i m research. The pair became partners and friends, and Ryan contin ues to work for the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo.

They real ize there is some s kepticism in the academic com m unity about books wi th the word "idiot" i n the title, but both fee l strongly that they are educating a b road audience wi th thei r vol umes. Bright people might want to learn about a new subject, but be over whelmed by jargon-filled academic journ al s o r bored by a standard text book. The I d iot's G u ide is a perfect alternative, the authors say. Both PLU professors' books have been steady sellers, and they h ave brought acclaim from experts and elicited responses from readers around the worl d . Cri tics also praise them. KMT: A Modern Jou rnal o f Ancient Egypt, said Ryan's guide to Ancient Egypt was very e ffective. "It also estab l ishes au thor Don Ryan as the first great popularizer of Egyptology in the Twenty-fi rs t Centu ry," said a review. James]. Clauss, p rofessor of classics at the U nivers i ty of Washi ngton, called Nelson's guide, "a clear and engaging accou n t of ancient Rome." Both au thors say the success of the i r books - o n what a r e not generally con s idered popular topics - shows the i n terest and i n te l l igence of readers. " People have a h unger - they want to k now about the past, how it ties i n to the presen t," Nelson said. The writing style takes some getting used to - it's hard to synthesize so m uc h material i n to concise and humorous p ieces, they say - but both men have developed a methodology for p u tting the books together. Their books are available at all bookstores i nclud ing the PLU Bookstore. "I think it's i mportant for academics to try to raise the level of public d is course," Nelson said . "And there are many people out there who k now about PLU now, because of the author bios printe d on the books." By Katherine Ned/and

Admissions publications bring new message to prospective students rospective PLU students now receive a bigger and brig hte r viewbook and redesigned admissions materials that follow a new theme of wbat they will find at PLU: Challenge Support Success The Admissions Office, along with University Co m munications, created the new publications over the last year. The first publication in the new era is the search mai ler, a small bookler given to prospective college students that allows them to request a viewbook. Published and senr out in early 2002, ind ications are tbat students a re respond ing well-requests for view books are up 60 percent from the previ ous year's m ailer.

The new viewbook was pri n ted this su mmer. It is much bigger than previ ous versiolls: 64 pages compared to 24. Rewri tten and redesigned, it follows a new color scheme, contains dozens of new photOgraphs and tells rhe personal success stories of students a.lld alum ni. "We're exc ited to put in the hands of prospective students a viewbook that contai ns a rich tapestry of ollr stll den ts' experiences with PLU," said Laura Polcyn '74 '79, vice president for Admissions and Enrollment Services. The new publications also take advan tage of PLU's expansive In ternct presence, linking students to several dozen PLU Web sites. The outreach conti nues this fall with a series of postcards, whic h closely focus on individual students from diverse backgrounds, and br:1I1d new publications for prospective interna tional and transfer studen ts.

or three years, Darius Alexander '02 super vised children on the d i lapidated play gro u nd at Spanaway Elementary School. Because there were only a few swings and balls available, he spent m uch of the recess period trying (0 calm down ch ildren and teach them to share the sparse (Oys the school had to offer. " To be honest, they would argue and fight a lot," said Alexander, who was a teacher's aide and playground supervi sor while earn ing his degree in sociolo gy from PLU. People at school knew it was impor tam (0 p rovide the kids with good, safe equ i pment (0 play on, and he and teachers discussed several ways ro raise money, s uch as recycling cans. Then Alexander had a better idea - he would si mply ask som eone for the money. He wrote (0 State Farm Insurance, where he had com pleted an internship during the sum mer of2001 and was scheduled to start work after grad ua tion. Alexander expl ained the nced :md the fact that the financially strapped district hadn't been able to replace dilap idated equ ip mem when it was removed. He stressed the i mponance of

i nstilling pride among students for their school. To his surprise and students' elation, State Farm paid for brand new play ground equipment and more with a grant of nearly $28,000. Now, a large red and blue, steel and plastic p lay ground structure d raws all the c h i ldren around at recess. They climb, crawl, slide and hang from its bars. Children from the neigh borhood also use the playground after school and on week ends. The new equi pmem was i nstal led sho rtly before school recessed in June. Younger children also enjoy a large sandbox. And there's even a li ttle money leftover for something else (0 be added in the future. "Just being out h ere at recess was so different," Alexander said. "Th e kids play (Ogether and take turns. They (Ook pride i n it, they (Ook ownership. You don't really see any garbage out here any more. Before it was always a mess . " State Farm offered a grant in the interest of following i ts mOt(O of being a good ne igh bor. Alexander says the company is s incere in i ts effons . "They're real aboU[ waming to h e lp the community. " "We're glad t hat Darius brough t this idc;! (0 us," said Vicki Harper, a ScatI' Farm public affairs specialist. " The

playground gets used a lot, nO[ only by the student s bm the surrounding com m u n i ty. It fits right i n wi th our goal of helping communities." The Bethel School District paid for the concrete foundation and the spongy, black top under the equipment. Alexander, who grew up in Taco ma and attended nearby Thompson Elemen tary School, said it probably would've been years before the pla), ground was im proved without the grant. "r think we saved cans for about cwo months and gO[ abou t 94 cents," he said with a bugh. Spanaway Elemen tary is comprised of students from d iverse economic back grounds, Alexander said.

A n d e rs on: Places l i ke PLU are wholly volumary emerprises. In our case i t all began 1 1 0 )/ears ago with five congrega tions and only 250 people who simply wem co work co create a ul1iversi cy. That spirit has con tin ued throughom our his tor)'. 50 universities such as PLU have been built, and are still carried forward, by this throng of believers-both visible and i nvisible-who contribute co the vision, C O the energy, and to the funding of the place.

that it is really the srory ohhe institu tion that motivates people. PLU's scory hasn't been easy and is as fascinating as any in Lutheran higher education-from the moose anders of the 1 890s, co the endowment d rive of the '20s, co the fi nancial crises of the '30s and the enrollment mel tdown during World War II. l:ven in the mid- 1 940s the question of PLU's fu ture was still on the table it's all of that biscory and drama that gives energy and spice to the PLU saga. Nordqu ist: When you arrived in 1 992, PLU had just com pleted a quite tri umphant centennial celebration that had appropriately focused on a wide

range of institutional and individual achievemems, but by 1 992 i t was clear that there were some serious enroll ment and financial problems that had to be addressed. How did the u niversity take on tbose tasks? And how difficult were the)'? A n d e rson: My direct encounter with PLU was a discovery of the rich ness of the institutional programs and mission and of the tre mendous h uman capaci cy. PLU, I judged i m mediately, was clearly an institution driven by those intangible qualities that made it a more vi tal, in teresti ng, and mu lti-di mension al enterprise than you could ever know

And it may be that that strength comes in part because the insti tu tion b as experienced u ps and downs over tbe years. As you r question suggests, we did face some visible challenges i n '92: e n ro l lment was down. budgets were not always balanced. B u t I th i n k the tru l y remarkable story is t h e way everyone from the Board of Regents to the facu l · t y a n d s taff s te pped u p a n d collective ly addressed the p roblems. I f there is one realization I had at the time, whether conscious or just insti nctive, i t was that PLU faced a set of cballenges that no one person could resolve and that it reall y needed to be a collective e ffo rt, beginning witb a b road understanding o f the challenges we were facing. We had many meetings during my fi rst year where we i nvited every memo ber of the campus com m u n i ty to par· tici pate. The results were amazing. We quickly got beyond pointi ng fingers and wen t to work on solu tions. There was a candor presen t that h as l o ng been par t of how PLU works best. Nordquist: D uring your first year as p resident the i nstitu tion was also deeply i nvolved in attem p ting to d raft a new m ission statement (the current one was then 3 0 years o l d) . What did the com m u n i ty learn from that experience, and was i t b e neficial to tbe university) Anderson: It is sometimes hard to bel ieve that cod-liver oil is beneficial because it doesn't taste very good when i t is going down. Some of the conversa tion about our mission statement in the spring of 1993 had a cod·liver oil quality to i t. I t was heated and some what d ivisive. It wasn't m uch fu n . On the other hand i t was very i mportant to have the cen tral institu tional issue being d iscussed openly and construc tively. I think tbe com m ission tbat worked on tbe mission statemen t came up with an exce l lent proposal. It looks even better to me now than i t did 1 0 continued o n page 35

Boys can 't go in gi rls' rooms and vice versa. 2. No l o afi n g in the k i tchen. 3. No loitering in the halls and stairwells.

In 1897- 1898 all students were requi red to be p resen t at the daily devo足 tional exercises in the chapel unless

excused by the President. Average expenses per sruden t for a year were $84.5 0 . $25 for tui tion, $48 fo r board, $8 for room, $ 3 for medical fee and a $ . 5 0 library fee. Laundry, books, and p aper wou ld be extra expenses; hence, all studen ts were encou raged w bri ng as many of their own books from home

they thought might be of some use.

By the 1 950s the rules had expanded so as to cover nearly every aspecc o f a Pacific Lutheran. University student. For exam p Ie, this section of the Scudent Handbook o u tlined a scu de� t's expecced dress: 1.

years ago because I think I understand PLU bener, and I u nderstand the con text,and the genesis of the statement. The continuing challenge for us is to express what it means to be a Lutheran university i n one or two sentences that are u nderstood by the b roader commu n i ty and adequate for L u th e rans who come from a wide range of theological perspectives. Given the breadth and rich ness of our Lu ther;]n trad i tion of educa tion, that is nOt easy. Yet it is slIch an i mportant convCl'sation that we repeat edly come back to it in many other con texts, and it is important that we do. N o rdquist: I ndeed, among the strengths the regenes, faculty and search co mmittee looked for in a new president in 1 99 2 were experience and sllccess i n development and long-range p l an n i ng. The process l eadi ng to a l o ng-ran ge p l an that u ltimately was called PLU 2000: Embracing th e 2 1 st Centu ry was launched in December of 1992-almost as soo n as you arrived-and received u nal approval in January 1995. What were i ts most important a,x ioms and i ni tiatives and how successful was it' A nd e rson: PLU 2000 is a remarkable story in part because in those years the u n iversity juggled an i m portant set of near-term issues whi le at the same time thinking i n bold terms about its long ra nge fmu re. That was a delicate bal ance to maintain and I t h i n k it is a trib ute to the com munity that b ot h were done wel l .

T h e p lan's uve foun dational axioms were the right ones: 1) i nvigorating the learning co mmun ity, 2) sustaining and u n di ng sustenance in our Lutheran heritage and tradition, 3) focusing on educating for lives of service, 4) com mining o u rselves to beco ming a more diverse co m m u n i ty, and 5) building fis cal i n tegrity.

tors, fo u n dations, candidares fo r posi tions-they all say that PLU 2000 is a very i m p ress ive report and that PLU is one of the few places they have seen rhat has developed a comprehensive long-range plan and actually i m ple mented it. Nordqu ist: A second plan called PLU

20 1 0: T h e Next Le vel o f Distinction is nearing completion. Can you p redict what its most i m portant e m phases will be and if any new directions will be charted ? Anderson: The key element of the 2 0 1 0 report will be the way it helps us focus on the fu ture of our academic programs: How do we strengthen our traditional academic cultu re? H ow do we advance the cause of i n ternational educarion? How do we work on student engagement in shaping their lea rn i ng experience? How do we continue to focus on et h i cs values and service? I expecr rhese will be the markers for whar we wan t to accomplish academi cally over the next 1 0 years. I believe they will also fo rm the foundation for a d ramatic breakth rough of our i nstitu tional re p u ta tion that wil l lead to a new, broad public recognition of what a truly remarkable and excellent place PLU has beco me. ,

Nord q u ist: \>:!hat have been the u niver sity'S most i mportant achievements i n fund-raising during the last decade and what still needs to be done' Anderson: The most i m portant achievement-one wi th long-term sig n i ficance fo r the future of the u niversi ty- has been members of the broad PLU constituency stepping up to s u p POrt o u r endowment. As a result, the endowment has increased over the past decade more than 5 00 percen t and planned, future gifts to the endowment have increased about 1 ,000 percent. The biggest challenge we face 111 the fund-raising area is what I call the revi talization of our schoolhouse, the maintenance and renovation o f our

We can all take great pride in looki n g back over 1 0 years a n d seeing the degree to which r h e u n iversity' s accom p l i s h me n ts f10w fro m PLU 2000. My basis fo r rhis j udgment is the coun tless people who come to visir us-acccredi-

campus fac i l iries Most of our campus was b uilt i n the '50s and '60s, so many of our buildings are now ready fo r revi talization. Among projects i n o u r cur ren t fu nd-raising cam paign are con struction of The Morken Cencer for .

Learn ing and Tec hnology and then the Easrvold renovation and expansion. B u t there is more on the horizon. The Hauge B uilding and the University Ce nter need work and many of o u r resi dence halls are o u t of date. So the capi tal appetite of o ur schoolhouse is going to be s i g n i ficant i n the coming years, and with the cOSts of construction such as they are, fu nding these projects will be a challenge. N o rd q u ist: PLU h as made some signif icant advances in in ternational educa tion in the last decade. The new Wang Center fo r I n ternational Programs wil l undou btedly accelerate that i nstitu tional e m �,hasis. How lInportant and ap propriate is it fo r PLU to be a major p layer among Lucheran and Northwest i nstitutions in i n ternat i o nal educarion and scho la rs h i p? Anderson :

The evolucion of PLU as an u niversity is a vcry i n teresting case srudy. So much of i t has happened without an orches trat ed plan. I nstead, by vi rtue of the faClllty that have been h i red, the p rogram interests that have been developed, and our location on the Paciuc Ri m, sud denly we' re recognized as among the leaders in i nternational education. Now, through the generosity of Peter and G race Wang, we have taken anoth er m ajor step. The excitement is that not only is our repu tarion for i n ternational education begi n n i ng co emerge, but we also und ou rselves co mpeti tively placed as one of JUSt a handful of undergraduate insti tu tions i n the country that have sign i fi cant, substan tive i nternational pro grams throughout the curriculum. The events of the last year have reinforced the i m portance of this focus. It is an essential pare of who we've become and where we need co go. i nt erna tio n ally focused

d iverse community. The challenge fo r us is how a com munity that comes out of a particular trad i tion becomes wel co m ing and e m b racing to other tradi tions without losing a sense of who we are. That's a tension we fee l today and will and must continue to fee l . And the fact is t h a t t h e nation's uni versity campuses are probably more diverse than any other communities in our coun try. Th e campus has beco m e the real melting p o t . H e re is where peo p le of different backgro u nds and tradi tions and beliefs are coming together in mutual respect and understand ing. It is one of the key roles h igher education is serving in our society, and I am pleased that PLU is playi ng a part.

I n ter-tribal violence contin ued ro pl;rgue Central Africa. And the Palestinians' catastrophic second i ntifa da effectively destroyed the Middle Eastern peace process. But Sept. 1 1 does not mark the end of " l i be ral convergence," either as an actual process, or as a com pass for American foreign policy. I t is not, as is sometimes suggested, a Western conceit ro claim that the good l i fe is best achieved through popu larl)1 account able government, the rule o f law, and social ly-regulated free markets. The conceit l ies i n assu ming that the West has some p ro p rietary rights over these ideas. In reali ty, the developing world has nO shortage of people willing to risk everything ro achieve democrac), and human rights in their countries. B u t the pathologies that th reaten world order - in ter-com m u nal violence, abject poverty, i l l iteracy, and M althusian pop ulation pressures - are endemic to those parts of the world where secu lar rationalism has not yet establ ished i tself. And so it remains the enlight ened self-interest of the existing wealthy democracies to promote and cu ltivate democracy and economic developmen t at every pracrical oppor tunity. I n the immediate aftermath of Sept. J I, the anti-ten-orist offensive necessar ily came to dominate Ame rican foreign policy. On l), a com mitted pacifist could deny that the U n i ted States was right ro prosecute a war agai n s t an enemy that had killed more Americans in a single day than at an)' time since the Battle of An tietam i n Sept. 1862. But over 80 nationalities were represented among the d ead in the World Trade Center. The war on terrorism is not America's fight alone. O rdinary Americans h ave p roven themselves well deserving of the out pouring of i nternational sympathy post-Sept. 1 1 . To the i r eternal credit, they have refused ro live under the "someth i ng wicked this way comes" paranoia hoped for b), al-Qaeda., and the terrorist attacks did not even have the antici pated lasting im pact on the American economy.

may well have done more damage ro the srock market than Osama bin Lad en. The B ush ad m i nistration conducted the war agai nst the Taliban with effi ciency and reso l u tion, and also wi th serious efforts ro m i n i mize the no netheless inevitable civilian casual ties. The war's i n tended deterren t effect has been seen in the public denuncia tions of terrorism by states like Libya, Syria, and Somalia. And the deploy ment of anti-terrorist advisers in the P h i lippines and the fo rmer Soviet republic of Georgia is a logical exten sion of the adm i n istration's policies. Terrorism has lost what the novelist Tom \1(101fe called "radical ch ic," as IS shown by the I RA's recent apology for thirty years of civilian casualties, and the dryi ng u p of the o rganization's funding.

Ordinary Americans have proven themselves well deserving ofthe outpouring of international sympathy post Sept.

1 1.

To their eternal

credit, they have refused to live

under the "something wicked this way comes " paranoia hoped for by al-Qaeda. There have, of course, been the pre d i ctable objections that the U n i ted S tates has itself promoted terrorism i n the pas t (e.g. against the Soviets I n Afghan istan, and the Sandi n istas i n N icaragua), a n d that it is has enlisted oppress ive regimes (including reac tionary Islamic ones) in its pursuit of the Sept. 1 1 terrorists. But i nternation al poli tics is an arena in which moral consistenC)' is precl uded by power pol itical realities that can not be simply wished awa)'. Winston C h u rchill once confessed that "If H i tler i nvaded H ell I would at least make a favorable reference to the Devi l in

the House of Commons." Ulti mately, wars are ro be j udged by their resu lts. Followi ng the recent loya j i rga, terro rist cells have been dispersed and Afghanistan has i ts best p rospects in decades for i n ternal peace and stabil i ty. B u r the Afghan war was only the beginning of a campaign against terror ism that will depend less on direct mili tary engagement than on m ultilateral cooperati on. This will requ i re the long term mai n tenance of the new anti-ter rorist coal i tion. But that coalition is already u nder some strain. Key allies, such as Canada and Spain, are reluctant to extradite terrorist sus pects to the U n i ted States because of the persistence of the death penalty, the prospect of military tribunals, the fed eral violation of suspects' civil liberties, and the h ighly questionable legal status of Camp X-Ray in Guan tanamo. The coalition is also jeopardized by the Bush ad m ini stration's instincrive u n i lateralism. It has rejected the Kyoro Treaty and the International Crim inal Court, with the m i n i m u m of rationali zation. It has set conditions for fu ture negotiations over Palestine, and threat ened war agai nst Iraq, without consult ing other key players. And, i n con tra diction to its stated free trade i deology, tbe U n i ted States has protected its steel and l umber industries, and lavishly s ubsidized its domestic agriculture. As H arvard's Professor Joseph Nye has recen tly pointed out, the "war on terror" illus trates a paradox: in a world of complex in terdependence, Ameri ca may undermine its own in terests when it pursues those i nterests in ways that alienate actual and potential allies. When Ameri ca f1aunts its abilit), to compel, i t risks diminishing its ability to persuade. The existing and emerging democratic world will welcome the leadersh i p of the United States. Bur i t will reject a n d res ist American domma tion, and the el1suing divisions could seriously weaken the democratic wo rld in relation ro its enemies. [§J

Peter G rosve n o r, assistant professor of pol iti c a 'i s c i e n c e , e x a m i n e d the world after Sept 1 1 .

bJ' Peter Grosvenor h e e n d o f the Cold War triggered an energetic debate about the s tructure of i n ternational relations and a.bo ut the place of the U n i ted States with i n it. Over the course of the 90s a wave of democratization spread thro ugh the fo rmer Soviet U n i o n and its collapsed Eastern E u ropean empire; the South African apartheid regime fel l; the military ju nta disappeared from La.ti n American politics; and p ro democracy movements appeared in C h ina and across Asia. An American led i n te rnational coalition reversed the

1raqi invasion of Kuwait. H uman rights began (0 tru m p s tate sovereignty, as demonstrated by the NATO i n terven tion i n Kosovo, by Australia's venture i n to East Timor, and by the emergence o f an Internatio nal Crim i nal Court. Some observers p redicted a "liberal convergence" that offered the pros peer of a sustained "democratic peace," In this analysis, the p rotection and p romotion of democracy around the world was i n the i n terests of both the U n i ted States and the wo rld community as a whole.

The scu lpture, designed by Kathryn S parks, cu rator for visual arts at PLU, was ded ica ted in Ocrober. Kathryn and her husband, D ick, former director of c horal activi ties at PLU, were good friends witb Holloway and his wife, judy Carr. Sparks designed the piece i n H olloway'S memory based on artwork she did for the invitatjon to j i m and judy's weddi ng. Sparks b rings her close friends h i p and respect for his artistry to the tree-shaped sculpture. It depicts the l i fe o f a b ri lliant and caring teacher, an inspiring colleague, a trusted friend and a great and gifted servant. Beyond that, Sparks wanted her m e tal and glass scul pture on a brick base to show H o lloway'S many loves, which ranged from music and cooking to fam ily an d the Lord.

Susannah H esche! of Dartmouth College opened the series with her pres emarion, "The Fail u re o f D ialogue: jewish-Ch ristian Relations from the jewish Poi n t of View." Her lecture was also the ann ual Raphael Lemkin lec ture, presemed annua lly on a topic relating to genocide, and the keynote address for an lllternational Holocaust conference held o n campus in late September. Gordon Lathrop, professor of liturgy at the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Philadelphia and former PLU cam pLlS pastor, presen ted the Lutheran Heri tage Lecture with his talk, "Do Not Harm the Trees: The Ritual Care of the Earth." Per Lonning, retired bishop o f Bergen, No rway and a m e m b e r o f the Norwegian Parliament, presen ted "Betvveen Fundamentalism and Relativism."

International scholars debate complex questions about origins of the Holocaust istinguished scholars from around the world debated how different religions view Jews and whether their early teachings played a role in the H olocaust - at an i n ternational conference on campus i n late September. The conference, "Christian Teach ings About Jews: National Comparisons i n the Shadow o f the H olocaust," drew scholars from as far as G ermany, Poland and Israel . "This is the fi rst time that these peop le have all come together in the Pacific Northwest," said Robert Ericksen, PLU professor o f h is tory who organized the conference. Part of thei r plan was to determine which portions o f the Christian tradi tion - i f any - might b ave contri b u ted to the violence and the hatred o f the Holocaust, Ericksen said. Ericksen is an acclaimed authority on the Holocaust and has au thored seve tal books about the Protestant Ch urch and the Nazis. The conference incl uded panels on topics s uch as "Memories A bout Christian Atti tudes Toward Jews: S urvivors S peak," and "An ti-Semitism and the Vatican: A Postscripr." Dr. S usannah H eschel, who holds the Eli Black C hair i n Jewi s h Studies at Dartmouth College, gave the keynote address, "The Fai l u re of D i alogue:

KPLU FACTS Among the awards the station has won are the Marconi Award of Excellence from the National Association of Broad casters. It was the first time a public radio station received the nationa l award. Other honors include Gavin Awards for the Top Jazz S1ation In the country four times. Program Director Joey Cohn has twice been named G avin's Jazz Radio Person of the Year, and the American Marketing Association named General Manager Martin Neeb to the Media Hall of Fame as the Radio Person of the Year. The news department won a national Edward R. Murrow journalism award for a documentary by reporter Keith Seinfefd on the controversial Makah Whale Hunt. The station consistently wins regional journal ism awards for its news coverage. KPlU started as a tiny station in 1 966 broadcast only to PlU and Parkland. The station expanded to more of Pierce County in 1 972 but really took off in 1 980, when it acquired a new tower allowing it to broad cast at 1 00,000 watts. Moving the transmit ter to Tiger Mou ntain outside Issaquah, Wash., in 1 989 expanded the coverage area even more. It became an NPR station in

1 983 and changed its format from classical to jazz the same year.

focus is for the jazz ro sound melodic," Cohn said.

A lot of work goes i nro selecting the music, and KPLU keeps the standard h i ts playing while being at the forefro nt of fi nding new talent. "We have a new music rota tion, so you'll hear a certain nu mber of new songs throughout the day," Morrison said. Morrison, sometimes with the help of Cohn and other hosts, goes through hun dreds of CDs. He estimates he receives 30-50 every week from artists and record companies, and he gives each at least a listen, hoping

Q Club, truly set a trend as they established one of

the first charitable trusts at PLU in

1 977,

Their two daughters and numerous grandch i l d ren attended PLU. so they knew the importance of education and made provisions for the university in their estates, Clarence died in

1 985, and Olga

remained a dedicated donor to the un iversity until her

.-IIr-...,...

death in July, Gertrude Tingelstad

'39 is another shining example of

providing for PLU even after her death, An em ployee of the PLU library. Tingelstad came from a strong PLU family including her uncle, Oscar A, Tingelstad. who was the university president from

1 928 to 1 943, Two funds were

Nancy '79, 80b and Delores Meader

G raduate's passion lives on through i nternat ional schola rs hip

fter Nancy Meader 79 died i n November

2000, h e r parents

wan ted to ensure that her memory lived on, 50 they created the Nancy Meader International Scholarship, Shortly after she

graduated, Nancy earned a master's degree i n developmental psychology from the U n iversity of Manchester (England) as a Rotary Scholar, She was a manager of training at the U.S, Environmental Training Institute, a member of the Friends of the National Sym phony Orchestra and the National Presbyterian C h u rch in Was h i ngton, D.c, and she volunteered with Habitat for Human ity, Nancy's international ties and interests i n s p i red her parents, Bob and Delores Meader,"As time passed we realized that's how we would want to make a permanent remembrance to Nancy," Delores said, The Office of Development at PLU was invaluable i n connecting the family with the Wang Center as part of the scholarship and making the process simple. "We are quietly pleased, grateful," she said, Not only is the memorial a way to honor their daughter, the Meaders feel strongly about investing in the future, "I nvesting in young people is the best use of resou rces you can make," Bob Meader said.

Wo ma n's gift g u ides scholars through the sciences

LU students headed for careers in science spend a great deal of time researching and preparing for grad uate study in their field of interest. One PLU donor hopes her recent contribution will

encourage those research pursuits, Anna Cary, a local woman who now resides at Tacoma Lutheran Home, gave an essential gift to fulfill a chal lenge grant from the M.J, M u rdock Charitable Trust fo r the Natural Sciences Research Endowment, The fund provides ded icated students and faculty with valuable dollars that aid in their summe r projects, Cary appreciates what PLU has done as an in stitution and is impressed with its grad uates. When her daughter Helen, a medical tech nologist, died, the elder Cary wanted to find a way to support the field of medicine in honor of her daughter, The money she gave to the challenge now makes up a scholarship for a ju n i o r o r senior student pursuing a career in medicine,

The benefits of fo llowing Islam are many, he said, and what he finds to be especially hel pful is how his religion answers all of his questions, provides structure in his l i fe and establishes guideli nes fo r how to live. "It teaches you how to deal with people in l i fe and in business, and how to treat your fam ily," Amiri said. A miri considers one of the main d i fferences between Islam and C h ristianity to be the regard o fJesus Christ. He explained that Islam respects a number of p rophets, one of whom i s Jesus.

M a x i n e Hong K i n g st o n

Acclaimed author Maxine Hong Kingston brings poetic gift to PLU cclaimed author Maxine Hong Ki ngston talked about her search for poetry and peace d uring a visit to PLU. Ki ngston is best known for her novel "The Woman \Varrior: Memoirs of a Gi rlhood Among Gh osts," which chronicles Chinese myths, family sto ries and events from her California childhood that have shaped her identi ty as a first generation Chi nese American. Kingsron finds herse lf creat ing her own srories by fi lling in the blanks her mo[her left. The book won the National Book Critics C i rcle Award and was named one of Time Magazine'S to p nonfiction books o f the 1 970s. Ki ngston, also wrote the award -winning novels "Ch ina Men" and "Tripmaster Monkey." PLU English professor Lisa Marclls is one of several professors who teach Kingsron in the classroom, and consid ers her "one of the most i mportant writ ers of the last three decades." While at PLU, Ki.ngsron discussed everything from Chinese-American cul ture to creative writing ro making peace. Kingston said she is excited by PLU's

Wang Center fo r I n ternational Programs, especially PLU's Peace Studies classes and the Peace Studies Working Group. " [ think it is absol ute ly wonderful," she said. "Learning abou t peace i n the classroom is the first step. I hope the process will create PLU students who will write the peace works of the fu ture." Kingston's latest work, "The Fifth Book of Peace," has taken an extraordi nary jou rney. Traced all the way back ro the late 1 980s, it all began with a rumor she heard regardi ng three lost books of peace i n China. She hoped ro track them down to " balance the dam age" done by Sun-Tzu's famous book "The Art of\Var." After years of research in China, she wrote her fictional book of peace, only to see i t destroyed in the 1 9 9 1 Oa kland Hi lls fi re. After that, she wrote an entirely new book-this time non-fic tion and personal-reflecting on her ideas on ending conflict and her CO I11ing to terms with the Vietnam War. Wriring an almost 800-page peace work of her own revealed changes about her future as a writer. "At that point, I wanted to be socially i rresponsible," she said with a smile. " [ wanted t o write as [ did a s a c h i ld, about my fecli ngs, my inside." To do that, Kingston turned to poetry.

The result was the rece ntly released "To Be the Poet," in which Kingston chronicles her attempts to adopt " the life of the poet," and i n later sections shares her poems. Kingston, who is also a creative writ ing professor at the University of California, Berkeley, wants to continue shaking up how college students are taught creative writing. Ki ngston does n't back away from her 1 970s statement that col.lege interfered with her creativi ty. "Creative writing is a seed , it mustn't be criticized right away," Ki ngston said. " College writing has to be abou t build ing a supportive com munity of writ ers." In her own Berkeley classroom, she takes time out for activities like meditation, which helps her students move from a "rational to an imagina tive state." At a campus reading and discussion, she encou raged all to participate i n her favorite fo rm, the shorr poem. Kingsron, PLU students and faculty shared their immediate responses, with everything from the i nspirational, ("Desire never says enough,") to the political, ("Inspections, Not WaL") "That is what I love ab out poetry, both the d iscovery and response are im mediate," Ki ngston said. "It is a gift." By Drew Brown

he adjusts the k n i t hat on a 2-year-old girl and helps a l it de boy navigate dOWI1 a step as c hildren clamor around her o n the playground in downtown Tacoma. When Karla Nelson decided co work for social Justice as a member o f the Lutheran Vol u n teer Corps, she didn't know that could mean s i mply com fo rt ing a toddler. But caring for these deli cate children - reading co them, taking them outside to p lay, mak i ng s u re the)1 get a home-cooked meal - i s i mportant work, and Nelson looks at the opportu nity as a blessing. " [ d idn't want a no rmal job, and I l i ked the idea of sustainable l iving," said Nelson, a 2002 graduate of GUStaVllS Adolphus College in St. Petcr, M inn. She i s one of six l11l"m bel'S of the Lutheran Vol unteer Corps based in Tacoma. She works at First Place fo r C hildren's down town clay care center. Many of the children there have great needs. A l l are f!'Om low-income fam i lies. Some have been neglected or abused . " Fo r some of these kids, we are their stable place," said Becky (Hucko '79) Fontai ne. " Fo r others, we are the p lace they get fed . " Fon taine is t h e executive dircccor o f F i rst Place for Chil d ren, which p rovides day care, parenting services and other resou rces to low-income children at six s i te.� in the Tacoma a rea, i ncluding PLU's East Campus. F i rst Place cares

for 232 children every day, rang1l1g i n age from fou r weeks c o five years. Fontaine wanted to become i nvolved with LVC because of the benefit to both her agency and rhe communiry. "The staff at rhe center downtown would say they don't k now what they'd d o wirhout Karla," Fontaine said. "She is really an i ntegral parr o f that center." This is just o ne example of how Lutheran Vol u nteer Corps i s reac h i ng out to the community. Many alumni IVork to make the program a success i n Tacoma. And so far, 1 6 PLU gtads have joined LVC in other cities. Vol u n teers com m i t to a year o f work ing for social Justice, living i n i n ten tio nal com m u n i ty and simpl ified l iv ing. In Taco ma, that means sharing a house with five people and living on a meager stipend. Thei r rent is su bsi dized by the agencies they give their time to. Vol unteers do not h ave to be Lutheran. " I t's a great service to the com munity in all area that's fighting to keep its head above water," said Lois Bekemeicr '82, one of the founding members of the local support commi tcee that brought LVC to Seactic and Tacoma in 1 995 and '96. Bekemeicr's husband, Luther, was vice president for develop ment fto m 1 976 to 1 992 and also serves on the local support com mitcee. "This is the best-kept secret in the Lu theran com m u n i ty," said Robert Hassclblad '72, who is o n the local

Dorner i s the salmon recovery p rogram manager for the Nisqually Indian Tribe. Her job is to restore and protect salmon habitat all along the Nisqually River corridor, fro m Mt.

Dorner h as managed clean-up and natu ral vegetation restoration projects o n the banks of the Nisqually and its tribu taries . H e r biggest und ertaking has been the restoration of a portion o f the delta on tribal property, near the conf1uence o f the N isqually, Red Salmon Creek and the southern end o f Puget Sound. The land is adJdcen t to The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Nisqually Delta Refuge.

Does Chi na Threaten U ? Some analysts have not tired of seei ng

China and the Chinese as a "threar" ro America and American in teresrs.

The racist "Yellow Peril" of rhe 1 9 th and early 20th centuries blended half a century ago with rhe " Red Menace" of comlllunism to create a fearful bogeyman that bedeviled Chinese-American relarions for decades. Then, wirh the collapse of rhe Sovier Union, some of these analysts have rushed in to warn us that China should be our new "number one enemy." For a decade and more we have rhus bccn hearing about "the C h i na Threat." In 1 992, Ross Munro of the Ccnter for Secu rity Stud ies wrore how China was a real menace to rhe United Stares, and others soon joined rhe chorus. China, we were told, was an econo m ic threat, a m i l i rary threar, a political adver sary. Its ro busr economy borh threarened our global econom ic sranding and bankrolled aggressive C h i nese milirary moves rhroughour Asia. George W.

Economic Powerhouse Having emerged from rhe orchodox com munism of the Mao years, China embarked in the 1 980s on a policy of "marker soci'll ism" chat dismancled the economically stag nating co mmu nes and rerurned land ro individual households. This unleashed a wavc of prosperity thar washed over many rural communities and created a m i ni-boom in the co untryside, which, in rurn, provided the cash and rhe labor for a spurt i n local industries.

Awakening Dragon ?

Now 20 years on, the world is witnessing one of hisrory's most susta.i ned economic expansions that h as lined hundreds of mil l ions of Chinese out of poverty. B e i n g the world's fasrest-growing economy fo r twO decades running, averaging a 9 percent annual growth rare, is no mean feat. B y lasr year, China led the world as a destination for foreign investment and had the world's seco nd-largest foreign currency reserve ar US$280 billion. Bur does China doing well economically make ir a threar to us? Unl i kely. For all irs rapid g rowth, China's share of world trade is only around 4 percent - about the same as Iraly's. And we should consider the grear benefits of China's growth: mil lions of con sumers in other countries are gaining from the low prices and high qu al iC)' of Chinese goods and businesses across the globe are profiting from supplying a vast new market. Especially when ocher economies are stutter ing, China's contribution to world market demand is vital. Some analysts see a slowdown in China's mid-range furure.

A scant decade ago the Paci fic Lutheran women cagers finished with only two wins in 24 games. Seven sea sons ago PLU was 1 7-9, only the second winning record in the p revious 1 5 sea sons. At that poin t, Gil Rigell took over the p rogram, and the results have been unde niably remarkable. In h is first season, 1 997-98, Rigell ied the Lutes to a 2 1 -7 record and their mi tial Northwest Conference champi onship. The team lost in the fi rst round o f the National Association of in tercollegiate Athletics national tour nament, but the grou n dwork was clear ly in place for PLU's j u m p to NCAA D ivision JlI status.

Rige l l came to PLU in J 995 as a s tudent, after earn i n g his associate's degree at Green River College and coach ing basketball and tennis for sev eral years at Lakes High School. As a 3 2 -year-o l d , Rigell com piled a 9-0 s i ngles record while playing for the J 996 PLU men's tennis team. The next fall, he became an assistant coach for the wo men 's basketball program. One year later he took over as the head coach, and in each of the next six sea sons the Lutes won at least 20 games. The h ighlight was the 200 1 -02 team that won a school record 23 games b e fore losing in an El i te Eight game to

eventual national champion Wisconsin Stevens Poi nt. The six straight 20-win seasons is particularly noteworthy because nevn before in the h i story of rhe PLU women's basketball p rogram had any team enjoyed a 20-win season. RigeU has a 1 27-37 win- loss record, a .774 winning percentage. H e ranks among the national leaders in D ivision LII for winning percentage by a coach. His coach ing job this past season may have been his best, and the Lutes played their best basketball o f the season when i t mattered most. They advanced all the way to the Sweet 1 6. After fill ish i llg sec ond d u ring the Northwest Conference season, PLU beat Puget Sound at home and regular season cham pion \,(!h itworth in Spokane ro earn the con ference's automa,[ic berth in the nation a l tournament. Afrer a fi rs t round bye, the Lutes beat Gustavus Adolphus (Min n.), 68-54, at home, in the second round of the NCAA playoffs. The Lutes then traveled ro Wisconsin, where for the second straight year they were eliminated from the tour nament. This time, No. I-ranked Wisconsin-Eau Claire scored a llasket with 3.2 seconds left ro hold off the u n ranked Lures, 43-4 1 . "We had our chances. We had good looks throughout the game, the kind of shots that we've been making in recent games, but we d idn't put them down," said Rigell. "Bur they battled, roo. They were tough."

The p revious season, the Lutes lost thei r top three players in al l-con ference honorees Becky Franza '02, Jessica Iserman '02 and Jamie Keatts '02. The returnees rep rese nt only 3 1 p e rce nt of scoring and 35 percent of rebounding frQm the 200 1 -02 conference champi onship team. Rigell built the team around (WO vet eran p layers, 5-8 senior H ilary Berg '03 and 6-3 junior Courtney Joh nson '04. Berg was the team's "spiritual" leader who played each game with fierce deter m i nation. Johnson was a pivotal per former on oftense, leading the Lutes with 1 1 points per game, and on defense where she finished among the national leaders by averagi ng nearly 4.5 blocks per game. She received fi rst team AIl-Northwest Conference recognition. Sophomore S hannon Hayes 'OS, a returning starter, improved on offense and generally drew the assignment of stopping th e opponents' top scorer. Aundi Kustura 'OS recovered from a foot injury to average 7.7 points per game. Then there were the newcomers. M aUory Mann '06, a freshman from Co nway, Ark., replaced Franza at point guard and had a stellar fi rst season with averages of 5.6 points and 4,5 assists per contest. "Mallory'S poise and great court awareness played a key role for us making the national tour nament," Rige l l said. Freshman Kelly Tu rner '06 fi n ished second in the nation i n three-point shooting percentage (48 percent) and earned second team All-Northwest Confel'ence honors, and freshman Anna Sricklin '06 led the Lutes in sco ring i n several late-season games. Transfers Pam isaacson '06 and Sara Wilcox 'OS were key contributors off the bench. " G i l has done a good Job as coach of the wo men's basketball team," said PLU A thletic D i recto r Paul H osech. "To take a young team such a l o ng way in the national tournament is indica tive o f his coaching ability." The good news abo ut the 2002-03 PLU women's basketball team, besides a trip to the Sweet 16 and a 2 1 -8 final record , is that the team loses only o ne player, senior H i lary Berg.

s a PLU srudene, Camero n Clark brought popular acts i ncluding Kenny G and the '80s band Toro to campus. In graduate school at the U nIvers i ty of Redlands, he booked J e rry Sei n feld for a comedy s how and Mario Cuomo for a lecture. And today, as a p ro fessional eve n t ptoducer, h e p u ts big-name acts like B.B. King, M arc Cohn, Ray Charles and Joan Baez on s tages in Bend, Ore., and among other things, just fin ished a run as p roducer of Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo Tunes concert series.

«Music is therapy. » B u t the most i m po rtant venue Clark '88 wanes to fil l is a chemotherapy room at a Bend cancer clin ic. After a grueling regimen o f chemotherapy halt ed his tes ticular cancer, Clark has an even greater appreciation for the arts and is compelled to share h i s joy. "Music is therapy," he said. He has launched Project Art Infusion, which h e will use to b ring art and m usic i n to the lives of cancer patien ts. Donations will pay for artwork for the walls of the chemotherapy room , per formers to play while patien ts are hav i n g chemo, a PA system to broadcast recorded music and comfo rtable chairs for family and friends to sit i n whi l e keepi ng patie n ts company. He also plans to connect patients with men tors who h ave been through treatment, to s up port them along the way. "The first tim e I walked i n to t h e (hemo room, I was shocked at how m uch i t fel t like a morgue," said Clark, who was diagnosed in February 2002 and experienced month s o f debili tating treatment. "I figure i f you're going to s i t a n d p oison people through a tube, s u r rou n d them with l i fe - give them a rea son to live." Clark seeks donations at the events h e p u ts o n and uses connections he's made
