Thomas and Donna Spackman, both Class of 1959, remain active with DePauw Dr. Thomas and Donna Stewart Spackman, both Class of 1959, were active as students at DePauw. Tom, a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, worked for The DePauw newspaper and was a member of Sigma Delta Chi, the national journalism organization now known as Society of Professional Journalists. Donna served as vice president and pledge trainer for Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Their leadership brought them together when they began dating as sophomores while working on the Union Board and then served as co-chairs of the second Little 5 race in 1957. “DePauw provided friendships, values and cultural identity. A small school provides an effective incubator to develop leadership skills. As underclassmen in our fraternity and sorority houses, exposure to up- perclassmen provided us with role models and helped us to grow and mature,” Tom said.

Journalism organization founded by DePauw students in 1909 100 years of SPJ’s leadership in journalism

A historic part of DePauw’s journalism tradition – as well as impact on the nation’s news media – turned 100 years old this spring. The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), which was founded as Sigma Delta Chi (SDX) by DePauw students in May 1909 and is now the nation’s most broad-based journalism organization, celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding with a series of events on campus on April 17. Special guests included Ken Paulson, president of the Newseum in Washington, D.C.; Richard J. Tofel, journalist and author of a new biography of the Business Journalist of the Century, Bernard “Barney” Kilgore ’29; and award-winning journalist Jane Pauley. “SPJ has had a great impact on journalism and democracy,” said David Aeikens, reporter for the St. Cloud (Minn.) Tribune and SPJ president. “We wanted to honor the year of SPJ’s Barney Kilgore ’29 birth at the place where it was born. It was founded at DePauw and spread very quickly across the nation. The student chapters were first, and then professional chapters.” The first five Above, SDX monument professional chapters were founded in 1921, and there are now about 60 professional chapters stands in front of East in the nation.

There’s no doubt it’s a difficult time for campus; below, The Media journalists and journalism, but I’m confident we’ll make it through,” Aeikens said. “I think Wall of Fame in the Eugene journalism will be bigger and stronger with SPJ leading the way.” S. Pulliam Center for The day’s events were held in East College’s Meharry Hall, upstairs from the room in which Contemporary Media at SDX/SPJ was founded 100 years ago. In the morning, Tofel, author of Restless Genius: Barney DePauw

Kilgore, The Wall Street Journal, and the Invention of Modern Journalism, examined the career of Kilgore, who has been called the “man who transformed The Wall Street Journal – and modern media,” and whose career in journalism began at DePauw. In the afternoon, Robert M. Steele ’69, Eugene S. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Professor of Journalism at DePauw and Poynter Institute faculty member, moderated a panel discussion of Jane Pauley “Journalism in Times of Peril and Promise.” Panelists included Bob Edwards, host of a daily show on XM Radio; Ken Paulson, who now leads the Freedom Forum and Newseum and is former editor of USA Today; Karen B. Dunlap, president of the Poynter Institute; Jan Schaffer, executive director of J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism; Suzanne McCarroll, a reporter at KCNC-TV in Denver; and Bruce Sanford, SPJ legal counsel and First Amendment attorney. Jane Pauley, a veteran of NBC News and a 30-year member of SPJ, gave the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture in the evening. Then Pauley was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame. Four Indiana journalists – Craig Klugman, James Brown, Janet Flanner and Ernest Wilkinson – were inducted at a Saturday luncheon at the Walden Inn. “The Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame was created by SPJ and is located at DePauw University’s historic East College in the room where Sigma Delta Chi was founded,” said Ray Moscowitz, president of the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame. “The journalistic excellence and diversity in the Class of 2009 is typical. We honored an outstanding newspaper editor, a retired top editor, a legendary national magazine columnist, a noted broadcast journalist and a leading educator.” On May 6, 1909, a story on the front page of The DePauw Daily announced that 10 DePauw student journalists had formed Sigma Delta Chi, a journalism fraternity. The founders decided at the outset that the fraternity should be honorary, as distinguished from the usual pattern of social Greek-letter fraternities. The idea was to support a truthful, honorable press, one not dominated by commercialism. By planting journalistic ideals in student journalists, they could make great strides toward their goal. Within a few years, Sigma Delta Chi had spread to a dozen other campuses and eventually became a national institution and an influential voice in American journalism. SPJ’s national headquarters were located in downtown Greencastle from 1990-2000, and then the offices were moved to Indianapolis.

HARRY J. BROWN, assistant professor of English, Videogames and Education (M.E. Sharpe – ISBN: 978-0-7656-1997-6). Video games challenge our notions of identity, creativity and moral value and provide a powerful new avenue for teaching and learning. Videogames and Education is a rich and provocative guide to the role of interactive media in cultural learning. It searches for specific ways to interpret video games in the context of human experience and in the field of humanities research. Brown shows how video games have become a powerful form of political, ethical and religious discourse, and how they have already influenced the way we teach, learn and create. Brown discusses the major trends in game design, public controversies surrounding video games and predominant critical positions in game criticism. Brian Alexander, National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education, calls this book a “milestone in academia’s engagement with computer gaming.” DAVID A. CROCKER ’51, Ethics of Global Development: Agency, Capability, and Delibera- tive Democracy (Cambridge University Press – ISBN: 978-353-7500). The world continues to be afflicted with inequality, violence, environmental degradation and tyranny. Ethics of Global Development offers a moral reflection on the ends and means of local, national and global efforts to overcome these dilemmas. According to Branko Milanovic, World Bank and Carnegie En- dowment, Ethics of Global Development “opens up, in the most consistent manner, an area only imperfectly explored so far: the ethics of global development. It discusses whether there are duties of rich countries and individuals toward the poor. What is global justice? How fair is the existing trade system? What is the place of migration? As the world becomes more interdependent, these questions, generally discussed within the confines of the nation-state, will have to be addressed at a global level. Crocker’s book is a big step in that direction.” ISTVAN CSICSERY-RONAY JR., professor of English, The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction (Wesleyan University Press – ISBN: 978-0-8195-6889-2). As the world undergoes daily transformations through the application of technoscience to every aspect of life, science fiction has become an essential mode of imagining the horizons of possibility. A strikingly high proportion of films, commercial art, popular music, video and computer games, and non-genre fiction have become what Csicsery-Ronay calls science fictional, stimulating science fiction habits of mind. The Seven Beauties of Science Fiction describes science fiction as a constellation of seven diverse cognitive attractions that are particularly formative of science-fictionality. They are: fictive neol- ogy, fictive novums, future history, imaginary science, science-fictional sublime, science-fictional grotesque, and Technologiade, or the epic of technoscience’s development into a global regime. Csicsery-Ronay teaches courses in world literature, and he is coeditor of the journal Science Fiction Studies and author of Robot Ghosts and Weird Dreams. SCOTT H. DECKER ’72 and Margaret Townsend Chapman, Drug Smugglers on Drug Smug- gling: Lessons from the Inside (Temple University Press – ISBN 978-1-59213-643-8). Perhaps the best way to examine drug smuggling is from the perspective of those most in the know – that is, experienced drug smugglers. Drug Smugglers on Drug Smuggling is based on in-depth interviews with 34 of the most heavily involved drug smugglers in federal prisons – individuals who were caught with significant quantities of cocaine in their possession. It focuses on how drug smugglers organize themselves to minimize risk, how they move the drugs from source countries to the United States, their roles in smuggling, and how they balance risks and rewards. Decker and Chapman let the drug smugglers tell their own stories concerning motivation, strategy and organizational design. Decker is professor of criminology and criminal justice at Arizona State University.

Their poems were chosen by British glass artist Martin Donlin to be included in 25-foot windows he created for the new midfield terminal of the Indianapolis International Airport. The group – formed as a result of a call for contributions from the Writer’s Conference of Indiana – were poetic strangers brought together for one project. However, they decided to spend time exploring their individual poetry collectively, and Rivers, Rails, and Runways grew from this collaboration. When the poems from a year of sharing came together, the poets were surprised at how the poems spoke to one another.

Arguing that local faith communities are the very front line of the mission, Lemler offers practical ideas and best practices to nurture strength and health in all congregations. He asks how can our patterns of congregational life renew themselves and adjust to changing culture without abandoning principle? How can local faith communities stay resilient and hopeful?

culture. Yet, as recognizable as it is, family is also a remarkably elusive term. If you ask 10 people to define it, you will likely get 10 different responses. InFamilies: A Sociological Perspective, New- man successfully connects to students’ personal lives, showing how sociologists understand and explain families. The impact of race, gender and social class on family life – both as sources of personal and group identity and as sources of inequality – are thoughtfully discussed. Many of the important developmental stages people face – entry into parenthood, experiences of child- hood and adolescence, and strains of adulthood and later life – are carefully examined. The final chapter examines the challenges that families will likely face in the future. KENT A. ONO ’87 and Vincent N. Pham, Asian Americans and the Media (Polity Press – ISBN: 978-0-7456-4273-4). The authors summarize key scholarship on Asian American media, as well as lay theoretical groundwork to help students, scholars and other interested readers understand historical and contemporary media representations of Asian Americans in traditional media as well as in newer media, primarily Internet. Since Asian Americans had little control over their representation in early U.S. media, historically dominant white society largely constructed Asian American media representations. In this context, Asian Americans and the Media draws attention to recurring patterns in media representation, as well as responses by Asian America. Today, Asian Americans are creating complex, sophisticated and imaginative self-portraits within U.S. media, often equipped with powerful information and education about Asian Americans.

Al and Laura Ries reveal their long-awaited manifesto about the fundamentally different approaches that management and marketing take toward establishing brands and products, and how the marketing approach is the one to follow. They demonstrate that management tends to attract left-brain types who think verbally, logically and analytically while marketing types tend to be right-brain oriented thinking visually, intuitively and holistically. In today’s media-dense and globally competitive environment, it is the latter kind of thinking that is necessary for success. They make this argument by examining tried-and-true brands and products and showing how and why some brands remain successful for years (Nokia, Gatorade and Kleenex, for example) while others have declined (Saturn, Home Depot and Motorola). War in the Boardroom provides a game plan for companies that want to resolve counterproductive struggle and start reaping rewards.

14 Sustainability at DePauw Student, faculty and staff commitment drives the efforts Sustainability at DePauw

When Brian W. Casey was appointed DePauw’s 19th president last year, the Wfirst e-mail he received was from sophomore Anthony M. Baratta, a member of the DePauw Environmental Policy Project (DEPP), urging the new president to increase sustainability efforts at the University.

In preparation for President Casey’s arrival on July 1, 2008, Assistant Profes- sor of Philosophy Jen J. Everett, DePauw’s first sustainability coordinator, led a group that researched and developed a Sustainability Status Report, which was posted on DePauw’s Web site in August 2008. The report was written by Everett, Jen J. Everett sophomore Taylor M. Cantril and senior Melissa “Missy” D. Orr.

You can read the report on DePauw’s Web site by going to www.depauw.edu/univ/sustain/sustainabilityreport08.asp.

It was that kind of interest and support by DePauw students, faculty and staff members that led President Casey to sign the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (PCC) on Sept. 15, 2008. By so doing, Presi- dent Casey joined nearly 600 college and university presidents and chancellors across the country in pledging to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions by their institutions and make environmental awareness a key component of campus life. (Read the Presidents Climate Commitment on page 16 of this magazine).

15 Sustainability at DePauw

Changing the campus environment “One of the great strengths of DePauw’s program is that it’s really a bottom-up and top-down approach to sustainability,” says Carol S. Steele, associate dean of academic affairs who became the University’s first administrative sustainability coordinator on Sept. 15. “The current group of students is actively interested in all facets of sustainability and have willingly spent long hours researching, preparing proposals, finding solutions to problems, and creating and implementing programs that have already changed the campus environment. Carol S. Steele “Signing the Presidents Climate Commitment signifies that DePauw sees sustainability as an institutional value. It means that it touches every aspect of University life; it’s transformative. Through what students learn here, DePauw is preparing the leaders who will be solving very thorny environmental problems for our country and world.” Steele points out that students have generated many of the sustainability efforts on campus. For example, one group of students works closely with DePauw’s food service provider in order to obtain healthier foods and to identify food vendors within a 100- mile radius of the campus who can provide fresh meats, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, eggs from uncaged chickens and more. Student involvement also has greatly expanded recycling efforts on campus, including composting barrels in the Hub food court in the Memorial Student Union Building. Composting bins have been placed behind the Union Building and Longden Hall. Increasingly, sustainability is being woven into the fabric of DePauw. Students, faculty and staff members are more aware of doing simple things, such as recycling cans and bottles, turning off lights in unused

DePauw joins other colleges in Presidents Climate Commitment

On Sept. 15, 2008, President Brian W.

By doing so, DePauw pledged to begin the process of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and becoming climate-neutral.

The DePauw Environmental Club sponsors Energy Wars in University- owned housing and Greek houses in order to generate student awareness. “During new-student orientation in August, we even devote time to talk with incoming students about DePauw’s commitment to the sustainability program,” Steele says. “And we give each incoming student a water bottle so they can refill throughout the year rather than buying bottled water.”

DePauw Environmental Policy Project (DEPP) students give a presentation about their work during a Focus the Nation session in February.

‘An assignment’ for students Teaching and learning at DePauw are also changing to reflect the growing awareness of sustainability issues. “In teaching about long-term social change, I have always had interests in ecology and environment. What the recent interests in sustainability have led me to do is move the discussions and readings about ecology and environment from background to foreground in my courses,” says Thomas D. Hall, Edward Myers Dolan Professor of Anthropology and professor of sociology and anthropology. Hall is one of the faculty members at the forefront of incorporating sustainability into the curriculum at DePauw. “I also focus on how to use knowledge of past patterns and processes to understand those of today and tomorrow,” Hall says. “The hard work for students is getting beyond simple repetition and digging in to discover how and why those patterns and processes arose “A lesson I draw and teach about and changed, and then perform a similar analysis of today’s issues.” Thomas D.

Thomas D. Hall emphasizes a long- term approach to sustainability and asks students to consider how societies have degraded their environments throughout history.

What next? After reviewing colleges with established sustainability programs, Steele believes that DePauw compares very favorably in terms of student and faculty involvement and the complex- ity of DePauw’s programs. “DePauw has the appearance of being a much longer running program,” she says. “One reason is that DePauw’s program embraces the notion that, yes, it’s about the environment, but it’s also about economic well-being and social justice. I think all these values are deeply rooted at DePauw.” Administrative and faculty members of DePauw’s Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), an accreditation program of the North Central Association, have focused on sustainability issues in two of the three initiatives they are pursuing. The initiatives include: fulfill the Presidents Climate Commitment, enhance intellectual life at DePauw and develop a University-community partnership to address sustainability. (Read a related story on page 24.) Twelve faculty and staff members volunteered to lead working groups that are intended to take DePauw’s sustainability programs to a higher level. Among the efforts, by September 2009 the University should have completed a comprehensive carbon footprint, Steele says. You can read more about the working groups on the DePauw Web site at www.depauw.edu/univ/sustain/sustainabilityinitiative.asp. Input is sought from students, faculty and staff members, alumni and community members. Alumni are welcome to contact Steele with questions about sustainability at DePauw or in their personal and professional lives by sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Alumni attending Alumni Reunion Weekend June 10-14 also will have the opportunity to hear Steele and students make a presentation about sustainability at DePauw.

Sustainability is not an extracurricular anymore By Taylor M. Cantril ’11 Prairie Village, Kan.

For the past year, I’ve found myself at the intersection of several sustainability projects on campus. I have been inspired and humbled to observe and contribute to both small projects and major transformations to my home campus. Last year, I saw the Janet Prindle Institute for FEthics become the first LEED Gold Certified building in Indiana. In September 2008, I joined fellow students and then-Sustainability Coordinator Jen Everett in presenting to President Casey on the Presidents Climate Commitment, which he signed in September.

Within our his time-tested syllabi after co-leading a discussion titled “Climate Change and Social Systems: A educational mission, Global View and the View from Darfur” during the Focus the Nation Teach-In on January 31, sustainability 2008.

Brown and Andrea Sununu. From 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., I learned about topics ranging from aesthetic representations of nature to the drivers of biodiversity loss, and the linked cultural and environmental challenges of Third World development. I witnessed engaging conversations at back-to-back events all day long. I was inspired by students’ sincere curiosity and concern for our generation’s future. The Teach-In and other events that followed during my freshman year activated me and renewed my sense of purpose. Such events shaped my off-campus study choice and my construction of an independent major, Society and the En- vironment. The Teach-In focused my attention on specific, interconnected challenges that our society is facing. It led me to struggle with the consequences of my daily habits and to reflect on how my academic pursuits can inform the needed solutions.

Instead of distributing weekly hall rankings like we do during DePauw Energy Wars, they are installing glowing orbs on dorm room walls that change color based on the resident’s individual electricity usage. Dark red for high usage and bright green for low usage. While we probably won’t be installing orbs in Mason Hall any time soon, we are seeking other innovative ways to cultivate resource-conscious habits. The dialogue that burst forth during last year’s Focus the Nation event continues formally and informally. We hosted Focus the Nation again this past February, and our conversations dug deeper into both concepts and University actions. Increasingly, sustainability dialogue plays out in The DePauw, which has become a central space for reporting new policies and projects – for both praise and for criticism. Articles, columns and letters to the editor discuss sustainability projects or concepts in almost every issue. On the informal side, DePauw Environmental Club sponsors “Talk Green at the Blue Door,” a series of biweekly conversations hosted by the Blue Door Café downtown that link students and community members over sustainability topics and coffee. Our campus is abuzz, and for good reason. There are tough questions to ask about our community and ourselves. What do we really care about, and what do we really need? Furthermore, if we commit – as individuals and as communities – to sustainability as a value that structures our lives, then how do we set tangible goals and measure our progress? At its best, DePauw is a place of the mind. This is a place of learning and inquiry. Within our educational mission, sustainability finds its deepest foundation on campus. At a school whose stated mission is to teach “its students values and habits of mind which serve them throughout their lives as each of them makes a positive difference as an active citizen of the world,” are we meeting the challenge of preparing students for a world increasingly defined by ecological problems? This, I think, is a critical question for the greater DePauw community to ask as we begin the 21st century.

Faculty member sees the growth of sustainability on campus By Jeanette K. Pope Associate professor of geosciences and coordinator of the Women in Science Program

It’s been seven years since the faculty approved DePauw University’s first environmentally themed academic program – a major in environmental geoscience – and thus started the Uni- versity on its path toward sustainability. In April 2002, the same month the new major was voted Ion, I was defending my Ph.D. dissertation at Virginia Tech, and although I hadn’t yet moved to Greencastle, I had been hired to be a part of the exciting developments in environmental education at DePauw. Although environmental efforts weren’t outwardly apparent prior to my arrival, I nevertheless found that the soil of DePauw was very rich and fertile. This shouldn’t have been a surprise, of course. The faculty, with the support of the administration, had already approved the environmental major and new tenure-track faculty lines in economics and geology to complement existing strengths in sociology and anthropology, biology and conflict studies. These expansions led to new classes such as environmental economics and an introductory environmental science seminar. Students began to warm to these new opportunities and started talking more about environmental problems in and out of class. Their education prompted students to start calling for changes on campus. A group of dedicated students worked with faculty and staff members to make sure abundant recycling bins were available in all academic buildings and residence halls. The somewhat defunct environmental student group reorganized under a new name, the DePauw Environmental Club, which now has more than 50 members involved in a number of campus projects. DePauw was becoming something new, something greener. Two people facilitated these changes and pushed forward DePauw’s sustainability efforts. In fall 2006, Jen Everett, assistant professor of philosophy, joined the University and immediately started promoting environmental thinking and activity with infectious energy. In her first year, Jen helped Michele Villinski, associate professor of economics and management, and me plan a DePauw-hosted Great Lakes Colleges Jeanette K. Pope Association conference on environmental curricula; had students work on applied environmental projects in her environmental ethics class; and accepted the position of DePauw’s first sustainability coordinator, which started the next year. Then, Ted Fares came

Gone are the days when I personally knew all the “eco-students.” A majority of DePauw students are concerned about sustainability. Environmental activities on campus have also grown beyond my ability to keep up with them, because students come up with new ideas and new projects all the time.

to DePauw as director of facilities management. Under his guidance, facilities maintenance has increased recycling, decreased water and fuel consumption, and switched to less toxic, more environmentally friendly cleaning products. Although they have not been alone, these two smart and dedicated people pollinated many of the green activities that now seem standard. Thinking back on it all now really reminds me of spring: the first brave buds poking their heads out of the soil, the birds flocking back and lighting the air with their sweet song. And then there is that day – the first day after all of these things have occurred when you say, “ah-ha, here it is!” The day you know the winter is gone and all the changes of spring are here to stay. For me, that day occurred in mid-winter 2006. Leslie R. James, professor of religious studies, had an idea: He wanted to show the film An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore’s documentary about global warming) on campus because, in his words, “Students should know about this, you hear me?” From that relatively modest idea, a team of faculty, staff and students started meeting regularly in spring 2007 to plan DePauw’s first Earth Week, featuring speakers, faculty panels, a sustainability fair, music in the Nature Park, and, of course, the film. The DePauw community was engaged in environmental conversations; opinions were argued and positions debated. Clearly, DePauw had bloomed. Later in fall 2007, both the Boswell Symposium and DePauw Discourse focused on environmental issues as national leaders such as Majora Carter, Bill McKibben and Robert F. Kennedy Leslie R. James Jr. joined alumni, students, and faculty and staff members in important discussion about the planet’s and our society’s future. At the same time, outward signs of DePauw’s DEPAU W DISCOURSE sustainability were becoming more apparent on campus. Plans moved forward on the LEED (Leadership Sustainability and Global Citizenship in Energy and Environmental Design) certification of the new Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics; the Arts Council introduced the Community Bikes program; and Simple Logic, an organic sculpture by nationally renowned artist Patrick Dough- Bill McKibben erty, was installed on the lawn of East College. Just like Indiana’s dogwoods and redbuds, these academic and physical changes led to a more beautiful DePauw. We are now well past spring and into the full richness of summer for sustainability at DePauw. Gone are the days when I personally knew all the “eco-students.” A majority of DePauw students are concerned about sustainability. Environmental activities on campus have also grown beyond my ability to keep up with them, because students come up with new ideas and new projects all the time. Faculty members, too, have bloomed with the enthusiasm of sustainability. Anne Har- ris, associate professor of art, and Dave Berque, professor of computer science, have joined other Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faculty members in Focus the Nation teach-in events, presenting ideas related to sustainability and their respective fields to public audiences or in their own classes. In conversations with colleagues, I’ve learned that professors are excited and invigorated by the opportunity to connect their discipline to relevant societal issues. Of course, the greatest glory in this extended metaphor is that there will be no dying back, no fall or winter. At least with regard to environmental thought and practices, I predict that DePauw will experience eternal summer.

Community works together to put the Green back into Greencastle

Our town is quickly putting the Green back into Greencastle. A broadly representative group of 100 local citizens contributed to the Sustainable Greencastle Report, which was presented to the City Council on March 12 in recommending “environmental solutions to strengthen our Ocommunity, economy, culture and quality of life.” The report is an outcome of the Greencastle Sustainablility Committee, which gathered in response to a City of Greencastle Community Forward Summit. The significant number of summit participants who registered support for sustainability was surpassed only by those calling for improved campus-community relations, an issue that has a 172-year history with the University. “I am extremely proud of the response of our community and the investment in time and ideas that people of all ages and many walks of life have made,” Mayor Susan V. Murray said of the committee’s efforts. “Its energy and importance can be found in the collaboration of many minds, backgrounds and a shared passion to make Greencastle a better place to live and work.” Susan V. Murray Sustainable Greencastle

The Sustainable Greencastle Report can be viewed at www.cityofgreencastle.com.

Members of this group introduced themselves at meetings not only as parents, neighbors and students, but also as engineers, entrepreneurs, small business owners, manufacturers, large retail managers, energy providers, faith-based organization leaders, nonprofit executives, teachers, school administrators, volunteers, activists, artists, master gardeners, farmers, hunters and citizens. DePauw students, faculty and staff members, and alumni were among the group’s active participants. Mayor Murray asked Steven J. Setchell ’96, a major gifts officer for DePauw, to chair the Greencastle Sustainability Committee. Jinsie Scott Bingham ’56, a member of the Greencastle City Council, said, “In all my years in Greencastle, I have never seen a group of citizens respond like this.” The citizen response of the Sustainable Greencastle Report includes recommendations and active support for concepts

from five work group areas: local food and markets, transportation and transit, energy conservation and alternatives, recycling, and communications and education. Specific solutions include, among many others:

n A special sustainability commission to create a partnership between the city and important community and economic entities

n Growing the farmers’ market, a local food solution to support the downtown economic, community and cultural hub

n Growing and distributing local food for those in need

n A vision for Greencastle commuter rail

n Support for improved pedestrian links between the downtown and the University

n A community-wide energy conservation competition

n A biodiesel program for Greencastle

n An expanded recycling and disposal campaign for electronics and other toxic materials Several of the group’s recommendations are already coming to frui- tion, including Mayor Murray announcing plans to bring an ordinance for a special commission partnership to provide further support for the city’s environmental leadership. The Sustainable Greencastle Report is the latest in a series of environmental progress outcomes in the Greencastle community. After Mayor Murray signed the U.S. Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement among her first acts upon taking office, the city pursued a series of policy innovations leading to Greencastle’s recognition as an Indiana Association of Cities and Towns 2008 Green Community of the Year, an honor Greencastle shares only with Bloomington.

Peternell Endowed Scholarship will support students interested in environmental affairs/science

DePauw students who are interested in studying environmental science will receive support from a new endowed scholarship fund thanks to Pamela Lorman Peternell ’68 and her husband, Ben. The couple recently made a gift to establish scholarships for rising juniors who have declared an interest in environmental affairs/science. The student recipients, who do not have to be science majors, will benefit from the Pamela L. and Ben C. Peternell Endowed Scholarship for both the junior and senior years at DePauw. “We want to encourage students who are already at DePauw and are interested in studying environmental affairs,” Pam Peternell said. “We feel that supporting motivated students in that field will help both students and DePauw.” Pam, who majored in psychology at DePauw, previously taught special education, and Ben is a business consultant. One of their two sons is an attorney who specializes in water conservation, water law and dispute resolution, and the other is a vice president of sustainability for a real estate company – so the Peternells have a personal interest in environmental issues. “We both believe in giving back to places that have been important to us. We both also feel we can help provide an education to DePauw students who otherwise might not have the opportunity,” Pam said. “Some of the student recipients of the scholarship will likely become leaders in the field of environmental sciences, and we can see the results of our giving in our lifetimes.” The Peternells live in Denver. Pam Peternell is a past member of the DePauw Board of Visitors.

EDITOR’S NOTE: When producing the University’s publications, the DePauw Publications Office makes every effort to work with printing companies that practice responsible environmental stewardship. Mignone Communications, Inc., which prints DePauw Magazine, has an environmental mission that states: “We continue to make concerted efforts to control and minimize our air emissions, conserve natural resources, recycle and reduce general waste. It is our obligation to steadily practice and refine these efforts as a member of the global community.” Mignone Communications also has applied for Forest Stewardship Council and Sustainable Forestry Initiative chain-of-custody certification, the highest industry standard. Chain-of-custody is the process of tracking certified wood fiber from the forest to the paper mill, and from the merchant to the printer. It ensures that the paper we print on comes from responsibly managed forestlands. DePauw Magazine is printed on paper that includes 30 percent post-consumer waste.

A conversation with Wallace “J” Nichols ’89 (shown here in the Anambas Islands)

Stepping out of the box for lifelong environmental exploration and leadership

If a liberal arts education inspires a rigorous journey of discovery, then Wallace “J” Nichols ’89 takes his exploration to extremes. I Nichols, a California Academy of Sciences research associate, former president of the In- ternational Sea Turtle Society, and one of Outside Magazine’s nine eco-all-stars, sat down with DePauw Magazine staff a few hours prior to departing for the Anambas Islands of Indonesia in March. Preparing for two weeks of exploration in what he described as a void space on the map of academic ocean research, he had packed only the essentials: sleeping bag, tarp, GPS, snorkeling gear, notebook, measuring tape and head lamp. Such is the life of J Nichols, whom his DePauw student contemporaries appropriately deemed “Mountain Man.”

DePauw Magazine: How would you describe yourself upon arriving to DePauw? Nichols: Before coming to DePauw, I had grown up planning on one of “the three tracks:” medical school, law school or business school. That was just the way the world was presented to me. But I had always been drawn to islands and turtles. And sure, I knew about marine biology, but Jacques Cousteau appeared to have a lock on that career. My dreams seemed in check by society prior to enrolling at DePauw. Never one happy to be put in a box, I arrived at DePauw to find a world of discovery open up to me.

DePauw Magazine: Describe your exploration of DePauw’s intellectual life. Nichols: My years at DePauw were just as much about learning outside of my major as in. In addition to traveling abroad and exploring cultures, I vastly improved my writing skills, discovered languages and even became obsessed with math. I loved the breadth of courses. I remember one

28 Sustainability at DePauw remarkable day when all of my studies converged. I was taking biology, anthropology and Old Testament, and each course led to a convergence where the full understanding of one course required awareness of the others. I distinctly remember thinking, “This is it.” This is what it means to become educated.

DePauw Magazine: How did your DePauw experience evolve toward pursuing marine science? Nichols: I did everything a person could do to get ready for medical school. In addition to pre-med curriculum, I volunteered as an Emergency Medical Technician on an ambulance, led medical service trips to Latin America, and volunteered in hospitals and nursing homes. I was being called to help people – but I didn’t like hospitals at all! I tried to find a way to be a doctor outside of hospitals, but found that unlikely. While working three Winter Term in Service trips – two to Peru and one to Guatemala – my eyes were opened not only to global poverty, but also to threats to natural ecosystems and wildlife. And then, as I was applying for medical schools in my senior year, I read Bill McKibben’s End of Nature, a book that changed my life. I knew that the environment, which had always been a passion, would be my life’s work.”

DePauw Magazine: You did quite a bit of exploration in and around Greencastle, too. What did that involve? Nichols: Well, in addition to a scuba diving inventory of Bowman Pond that turned up a bike and a shopping cart, I also explored Indiana’s quarry ponds from above and below the surface. I took some long bike rides to Brazil and Peru (Indiana) and led late evening explorations of the county’s cemeteries. West central Indiana is a remarkable landscape, and I could have spent a lifetime exploring it.

DePauw Magazine: Getting back to your life’s work, what does the economic crisis mean for the sustainability movement? Nichols: As the saying goes, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” People are getting hurt, and we should not be flippant about that. But the crisis at the same time presents an opportunity to realign our public debate and institutions in a way that good ideas can now move from the sidelines to the mainstream. Let’s do it.”

DePauw Magazine: So how do you measure the world DePauw graduates are now entering? Nichols: These times are basically teeing things up for the next generation of DePauw graduates to put their education to work in the most meaningful ways possible. We need bright young people who are willing to stock up on Ramen noodles and take risks toward reinventing the way we live. DePauw students are the perfect people to do this. So I say to them, pick a problem and go solve it.”

DePauw Magazine: And your advice on how they should get started? Nichols: Find your passion and pursue it. When I told my father of my career plans, he responded, “Sea turtles? What are you going to do with that?” My response: Everything.

The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics (above left) and The Bartlett Reflection Center are located in the DePauw Nature Park, just west of campus. Prindle Institute has gold rating from U.S. Green Building Council

DePauw’s Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics, located in the DePauw Nature Park and dedicated in October 2007, is the first and only building in Indiana to earn a gold rating for energy efficiency and environmental design from the U.S. Green Building Council. Shiel Sexton Co. constructed the building from local limestone and locally harvested trees. Designed to minimize impact on the environment, the Prindle Institute received LEED- NC (New Construction) Gold 2.2 certification. Its environmentally friendly features include a white roof that reflects the sun, thus reducing demand for air conditioning. Awnings admit the winter sun (low in the sky) for passive heating and shade the building from the summer sun (higher in the sky), also minimizing energy requirements. Rooms are equipped with motion sensors that automatically turn off lighting in unused areas. The Bartlett Reflection Center, which is located near the Prindle Institute, also has received LEED Gold certification. The Reflection Center was dedicated on April 24. In addition, DePauw has committed to having all new construction and renovation on campus meet requirements to be LEED certified at the Silver level. The U.S. Green Building Council’s Lead- ership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest green building and performance measures.
