November 8, 2019 THE SCOUT A3 NEWS Symphony between an engineer and an economist Two Bradley legends featured in the new building

BY TONY XU Editor-in-Chief The idea of teaming up business and engineering has existed at Bradley long before the Business and Engineering Convergence Center. At last Friday’s dedication ceremony for the convergence center, university president Gary Roberts announced that a painted portrait of Martin “Jerry” Abegg and a bust of Kalman Goldberg will be featured in the new facility. Abegg was Bradley’s seventh president from 1970 to 1992 and a civil engineering professor; Goldberg was the provost from 1987 to 1992 and an economics professor until 2003. Abegg and Goldberg, “two Bradley legends” as Roberts called them, are among some of the most influential individuals in Bradley’s history. Both joined Bradley as young faculty members around the early 1950s and ultimately became leaders of the institution.

Martin “Jerry” Abegg Kalman Goldberg

Abegg graduated from Bradley University Goldberg started at Bradley in 1952 as an in 1947 and stayed on the Hilltop as an instructor in economics and was later promoted instructor in civil engineering while he to professor after he received his Ph.D., then pursued his master’s and Ph.D. degrees. chairperson of the department and dean of the Abegg was later promoted to professor, business college. chairperson of the department and dean of He was elected University Senate president the engineering college. from 1977 to 1981.

After stepping down as the provost a financial crisis and the board of trustees had in 1992, Goldberg continued as a full-time to put the then university president Talman professor until just a few weeks before his Van Arsdale on leave, Abegg was appointed death in 2003. as the acting president, and ultimately became Goldberg’s tenure at Bradley spanned 51 the president for over two decades. years during which he influenced over half of “We had to let go of 30 percent of the Bradley’s history and encountered generations faculty within one month, and he had to be of students. Many of his students still remember the president during that,” said Bob Fuller, the “guns and butter” example from his professor of religion who has been at Bradley introductory class, and university president since 1978. “He was the standability that got Roberts is one of them. us through.” “Dr. Goldberg is the single biggest influence Abegg was known for his listening skills photo via Special Collection Center in my life, and the reason I switched my major and taking fair actions to solve the problem. to economics,” President Roberts said during his photo via Bradley University “If [any case] made its way to his office, empowered to do that, and he did his fair speech at the dedication ceremony last Friday. you will be listened to, everybody will be share so the university had its first successful “He taught the ‘Principle of Economics’ to During his time as the provost and vice listened to, everybody will be treated with capital campaign when Dr. Abegg was the literally generations of students in his famous president for academic affairs, Goldberg respect and you will get fair treatment,” Fuller president.” Econ 100 class.” initiated the study abroad program and said. “To work for a large institution that you Anna said he believes that today’s Among the faculty, Goldberg was supported the formation of the Intellectual know it’s fair and you are not going to be convergence center could not be possible remembered as a great mentor to many. and Cultural Affairs Committee to ensure that cheated or screwed … you can trust the place, without the foundational work done by During an interview with The Scout last Bradley was the center of intellectual and because you can trust him.” Abegg. semester, Joan Sattler, emerita dean of College artistic expression.

A truly bizarre adventure Tweets of the week BY MADIE TROLINGER Off-staff Reporter Are you looking for a new show to watch that’s about “the enigma of human beings” and “the salvation of the heart?” In that case, “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” is the anime for you. Created by Hirohiko Araki, JJBA details the intergenerational struggle between the Joestar family and various evil beings. This series is full of bold action and quirky humor. Its colorful openings and art style are sure to leave you striking dramatic poses. The story of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” begins with “Phantom Blood (Part One).” Featuring the intense rivalry between Jonathan Joestar (JoJo) and Dio Brando, the events that follow influence the rest of the series. In the year 1880, Jonathan lives peacefully with his father, George, on their wealthy estate. Years prior, a carriage accident resulting in the death of Jonathan’s mother leads to an indebted George. He believed that he and his infant son were rescued by a man named Dario Brando who, in reality, had been trying to loot his corpse. After Dario’s death, the Joestars adopt his son Dio into their family, thereby settling the debt. Upon his arrival, Dio makes Jonathan’s life a living hell in order to become the true heir to the Joestar fortune. Through ruining friendships, breaking the bond with his father, killing his dog Danny and destroying his relationship with his love interest Erina Pendleton, Jonathan loses everything. Seven years later, the real action begins. All set to graduate, Jonathan and Dio’s relationship seems to have healed. Then George becomes ill, and Jonathan accuses Dio of poisoning him. While Jonathan goes off to find an antidote, Dio stays behind and begins his studies on a mysterious stone mask that reacts strangely to blood. Along his journey to the notorious Ogre street, Jonathan meets Speedwagon. Though originally a street thug, he quickly becomes Jonathan’s best friend and the greatest ally to the entire Joestar family. Eventually, after Jonathan and Dio reunite, Jonathan discovers the true extent of Dio’s madness as he kills George, dons the stone mask and unlocks its power by becoming a vampire. In order to stop him, Jonathan sets the mansion on fire and impales him but later learns he did not succeed. Jonathan and Speedwagon soon team up with a man named Will A. Zeppeli who teaches Jonathan how to use a mystical power called hamon, and the three men band together to stop Dio once again. The “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” anime has five parts, each with its own story and cast of characters. There’s so much that goes into the world of JJBA, but every moment is worth it. It is a fantastic anime and everyone should check out. B3 THE SCOUT November 8, 2019 DISTRACTIONS
