But sometimes, you just know in your gut: “It’s time.” Of course, there were several rational fac­ tors that went into the decision: The finishing of a successful capital campaign. The com­ pletion of our 10-year strategic plan and the achievement of its key goals. The realization and build-out of a vision for campus develop­ ment that we conceived at the beginning of my time here. And yet, there is still so much more work to do, right? Huge challenges still facing higher education. Exciting opportu­ nities to pursue in shaping the future. Big battles to win with much at stake. I am not out of ideas or ambitions for Puget Sound by any means. I’ve got a million of them. But its been 12 years since I arrived at Puget Sound. At what point is it time for someone with a new perspective, a new vision, and a new set of experiences to help us imagine what is pos­ sible? Ultimately, I didn’t so much know the answer, as much as I began to feel that it was It s time getting to be about that time.

At about 70,000 feet the air pressure difference between the balloon and the thin atmosphere (about 1 to 3 percent of sea level up there) caused the balloon to expand and pop.The payload—a GoPro, a couple of phone cameras, and a GPS device for tracking—then gently returned to terra firma, thanks to a parachute. Physics Club president Ben Boe '15 told us that the balloon was launched from a park in Othello, Wash., and landed in a wheat field 69 miles east.Time from launch to burst was 105 minutes; it took 32 minutes to fall.The payload reached a maximum of 120 mph in ground speed.

HOP TO IT

May 3: Students led by Brandon Johnson '15 broke the Guinness World Record for longest hopscotch course: a bounding 3.5 miles.The fundraising event broke the previous mark of 3.42 miles, set at the University of Guelph, nearToronto, Canada, in 2011. The course was created over a period of two days, using a large template that was laid down hundreds of times and a sports-field sprayer squirting a mixture of colored flou^and cowistarch. Fortunately it didn't rain! Varibus rules h^d to be met toqbalify for the Guinness record: Monitors made sure that at least two hoppers completed the course, always with one foot in a square. They could not sit down, but they were allowed to stand and rest for water breaks. Brandon and Graham Johnson '15 finished in 1 hour and 41 minutes, followed by others. (Although it was the distance, not the time, that set the record.) Proceeds from the event went to the college's Center for Intercultural and Civic Engagement's youth programs.

ACCESS A partnership that gives more people a shot at college Puget Sound is partnering with a program that aims to expand and diversify the pool of students who go to top-ranked colleges. The Posse Foundation recruits public high school students who have "extraordinary academic and leadership potential" but who may otherwise be overlooked during the selective college admission process. The students apply to Posse partner colleges and are chosen to attend those institutions as part of a supportive team called a "posse." After students are selected, they participate in an eight-month training program during their senior year in high school that includes team building, cross-cultural communication, leadership, and academic excellence. In addition to supporting the CAMPAIGN UPDATE students, one of the key goals of We did it. (And then some!)

During 1939-40 Frances enrolled in teacher training courses at Puget Sound and earned a teaching certificate. But rather than teach in the public schools, Frances contin­ ued at Puget Sound the next two years as a “Fellow in Art,” a designation that seems to have been created especially for her. She took no classes except for a European history course that she audited. Rather, she served as teaching assistant to the art professors and may have had departmental secretarial duties as well. (During 1941 and 1942 the Tacoma City Directory identified Frances Chubb as an office secretary at the College of Puget Sound.) But in 1942 Frances became an official instructor in art when art professor Robert Drummond left to enter military service. Art department chair Melvin Kohler did the same the year after that, and Frances was the department’s only teacher for the next three years, 1943-46. (Kohler returned after the war but stayed only two years before being replaced as chair by Lynn Wentworth.) This was quite a challenge for the young Frances Chubb, but in 1944 Frances added to her workload by beginning a Master of Fine Arts degree program at the University of Washing­ ton. She pursued this degree for eight years while teaching at Puget Sound. An M.F.A. in painting was awarded to her in 1952, and with this degree in hand, Frances in 1953 began climbing the professorial ladder as assistant professor. She was promoted to associate professor in 1958 and professor in 1968. Frances Chubb was a charter member of Puget Sounds chapter of the national honor­ ary art fraternity Delta Phi Delta.

One of our mornings was spent examining the Cuban health care system. We began the day with a visit to an austere neighborhood health care clinic and met the doctor who lived above the clinic, attending to the needs of her neigh­ bors. We noticed a prominent poster advocating respect for homosexuals, a marked shift from the state-sponsored persecution of the LGBT communin' in Cuba during the heyday of the revolution. The doctor vigorously defended the Cuban health care system. Later that day we met with Dr. Gilberto Fleites, a top Cuban cancer surgeon (who also happens to be Johns brother-in-law). He very' graciously invited us to his home. Unlike their counterparts in capitalist countries, Cuban physicians, even top cancer surgeons like Dr. Fleites, live on meager state salaries.

Despite the decades-old Cold War between the United States and . Cuba, die two countries share many cultural connections, and there is no better example than baseball. We had asked our students to read a book on the rich and complicated shared history of U.S.- Cuban baseball, so on the final night in Havana we took the group to see the Industrials, Cuba’s most prominent baseball team. Most experts think Cuba’s once world-dominant amateur baseball is at a low point, having suffered a hemorrhage of talent to the U.S. and elsewhere (where players can make vastly more money). Many hope that someday soon players trained in Cuba can play in the U.S. in the summer and return to play for the Cuban league in the winter. For now, we thoroughly enjoyed watching “revolutionary” baseball, enjoying the lack of commercialism and advertising (although there are political slogans), and appreciating the knowledge and enthu­ siasm of the local spectators. Foreign visitors are required to pay in hard currency and to sit in a special section behind home plate. We saw signs of incipient capitalism. When we asked an usher about purchasing Industrials hats and T-shirts we were led behind a food concession stand and presented with a variety of items that were being sold off the books.

«r ■ Good or boy

Forest Beutel doesn’t sing. He growls. He barks. He hollers and he sighs. And at times, he chuckles. Usually at himself. All this and more you can hear on his raw debut solo V ‘ album, If You Label Me, You Negate Me. But to get the full impact of his music, one must v experience his live show. He looks like a moun­ % tain man—all sideburns, banjo, bushy beard, > • and flannel—and his music reflects the self- r sufficiency of the type. Both on his solo album % and in his live shows, he plays all the instru­

V ments himself—simultaneously. If you’re lucky enough to catch Forest in an intimate solo show, you’ll see a fusion of performance art unlike any you’ve ever ex­ perienced. He plays his songs, yes. But he also roams the stage without his instrument, telling stories between each song. This isn’t your typi­ cal canned stage banter either. Forest’s stories often can go on for 20 minutes between each song, coaxing you into his swirling world of East Coast punk, sheepish teenage dreams, and serialized bar fights. Every one of his stories is true. You never know where one is going when it starts, but somehow, some way, the stories always lead to the next song, setting die tone perfectly. The audience is prepped, whether with rolling laughter or deathly silence. Tliis mix of the absurd and the poignant is summed up in his explanation for the memo­ rably unorthodox title, If You Label Me, You Negate Me: “It’s a Kierkegaard quote, but I first heard it on [the Mike Myers Saturday Night Live sketch] ‘Wayne’s World.’” Forest’s musical story began on the op­ posite side of the country, not with bluegrass and a banjo but with punk rock and a drum set. Remember those sheepish teenage dreams? On stage. Forest tells the story of his high school days—how he idolized a locally suc­ cessful punk band called No Regard and at­ tended every one of its shows.
