Adams PR E s I began to write this column, I found myself thinking about all that Waterville, Maine H T Mr. William H. Barton Jr. ’71 Ahas happened since I last shared my thoughts with you in the alumni Bronxville, N.Y. OM magazine. In just a few months, the world we live in has changed in ways Mr. Wesley C. Bates ’70 FR R few of us could have predicted, and we now find ourselves in whatI Marco Island, Fla. cautiously describe as “uncharted waters.” We, quite frankly, live in a time tt ette N Mr. David L. Boyle ’69 L A that presents extraordinary challenges to all of us both as individuals and G Greenwich, Conn. E I as a broader community. As members of the Wittenberg family, I imagine Ms. Jennette Bradley ’74 Robb Columbus, Ohio you are asking yourselves two fundamental questions: “How is Wittenberg faring in these uncertain economic times?” and “What can I do, as a member of this family, to help?” Mr. Stephen R. Buchenroth ’70 Worthington, Ohio I know that each of you has been touched personally by the changing economy and so has Mr. Glenn W. Collier Wittenberg. I suspect that most of you look at your 401k retirement accounts and shake your Springfield, Ohio heads (just as I do). You, too, have been bombarded with news about the ailing stock market, Mrs. Jennifer Sauer Cooperider ’81 rising unemployment, major losses in college endowment funds and college affordability. Sylvania, Ohio You have also likely read stories about places such as Harvard or Stanford, where the loss in The Rev. Jonathan L. Eilert ’93 endowment income has resulted in major cutbacks in staff and faculty, and wondered about Loveland, Ohio your own alma mater. Dr. Mark H. Erickson Springfield, Ohio Yes, the Wittenberg endowment has also taken a significant hit, falling from a high of Mr. James J. Henson ’75 $120 million this past summer to $83 million this spring, resulting in nearly $750,000 less Columbus, Ohio revenue to fuel our annual operating budget of $58 million. The good news is that we are not Dr. Elizabeth A. Hunter ’69 so endowment dependent as the Harvards of the world, so the hit to our operating budget is Fairfield, Ohio not nearly so great (although I have often said, give us Harvard’s endowment, and we will find Mrs. Alicia Sweet Hupp ’82 a way to deal with the resulting problems). Nevertheless, the impact is real and will be felt not Springfield, Ohio only this year, but for several years to come. Mr. Douglas E. Kentfield ’78 Garden City, NY Our bigger concern, however, is ensuring that we retain our present students and Mr. Thomas P. Loftis attract new students in this challenging economic climate. This past month we announced Springfield, Ohio a 2.9 percent tuition increase, our lowest increase since 1965. We have also developed an The Rev. Dr. Marcus C. Lohrmann emergency loan pool for students who can’t find loans from any other sources, and we will Sylvania, Ohio be providing $30 million in student financial aid this fall. We are also working diligently to Mr. John P. McDaniel ’64 keep university costs as low as possible by making significant cuts in our existing budget Highland, Md. while preserving the quality of the educational experience for our students. Mrs. Sarah Hagen McWilliams ’88 Millboro, Va. On the new student front, our admission application numbers are down slightly (consistent with national trends), while our deposits are up (bucking the national trend), but it is still very Mr. John F. Meier ’69 Sylvania, Ohio early in the process. If you know of students who are interested in college, please tell them Ms. Deborah G. Miller ’71 about the life-changing impact of a Wittenberg education. Tell your own story. Tell them also Palo Alto, Calif. that while we will never be the low-cost option with a 12:1 faculty/student ratio, we are a great Mrs. Joan C. Milsom ’47 investment with lasting value. Pittsburgh, Pa. Just this past week, I learned that 93 of our present students have expressed concerns about Mr. Frederick B. Mitchell ’69 their ability to stay at Wittenberg in light of changing family financial circumstances.N othing Chicago, Ill. would make me sadder than to see these students leave our fine university. This is where you Dr. Michael A. Senich ’74 Midland, Texas can help! Your support through giving to the annual fund can ensure that these young people Mr. Lewis W. Shaw II ’66 can continue to enjoy the same wonderful education you did at Wittenberg. So I am asking, Dallas, Texas perhaps even pleading, on their behalf that you give them this opportunity. Even a small gift Mr. William H. Steinbrink ’64 makes a difference. We often refer to ourselves as the Wittenberg family, andI would ask you Shaker Heights, Ohio to respond like a family to those members of the Wittenberg family who need your help.

  • The Church, Abortion, and Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler
    The Church, Abortion, and Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler Robert McClory “A Chicago nun’s battle with Rome” Chicago Magazine, December 1985 Used with Permission At 11 p.m. on December 7, 1984, Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler had just finished night prayers in her small room at St. Patrick’s parish convent, on Chicago’s Far Southeast Side, when the telephone rang. The caller was Sister Maureen Murray, a superior of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the Roman Catholic religious order to which Traxler belongs. “Peggy, I’m afraid I have some bad news,” said Murray, who then proceeded to read a letter that the international president of the order had just received. It was from Archbishop Jean Jerome Hamer, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation on Religious and Secular Institutes-in other words, the man who oversees the affairs of Catholic nuns all over the world. The letter stated, in effect, that the authorities in her order should demand that Traxler recant a public declaration that she had signed two months earlier. Appearing as a full-page advertisement in The New York Times, the declaration had challenged the church’s official teaching on abortion. If Traxler refused to recant, Hamer’s letter said, she was to be threatened with removal from the order. Similar letters had been sent to the superiors of 23 other U.S. nuns and of two priests and two religious brothers who had signed the same declaration. There could be no doubt about the intent: the offenders were in serious trouble, and the Vatican meant business.

  • January 9, 2009 Local Government Reform
    JANUARY 9, 2009 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMISSION MEMBERS DEBATE MISSION, RESEARCH compiled from Gongwer Some underlying tensions between different governmental entities already were evident during the inaugural meeting of the Commission on Local Government Reform & Collaboration on Monday. The panel is charged with the sensitive and challenging task of recommending ways to streamline Ohio's multi-layered local government system. Underscoring the varied opinions among panelists themselves, they even voiced differences over whether the first order of business should be to focus on devising a mission statement or to launch into research. A resolution by Ohio State University's John Glenn School of Public Affairs to provide research for the Commission became the subject of debate when Ohio Township Association Executive Director Mike Cochran said he was blindsided by the offer. "That's going to cause the greatest amount of disagreement between us - if people are getting communications and having in-depth discussions while leaving some people out," he said. Mr. Cochran said he was concerned that OSU's offer would give academics too much say over the direction of the commission and he endorsed a suggestion from Co-Chairman Troy for the panel to create a mission statement before pursuing research. "A lot of people sitting around this table, myself included, have preconceived ideas," he said. "I think we need to have a heart- to-heart among ourselves." Former House member Larry Wolpert, who co-authored implementing legislation, said the University previously had expressed interest in assisting the panel in its work and was reaching out to other state institutions to get involved in the effort.

  • The FBI Investigated Missing Money from Chabot's Campaign After His Campaign Could Not Account for More Than $120,000. On
    The FBI investigated missing money from Chabot’s campaign after his campaign could not account for more than $120,000. On top of that, Chabot has used his political organization to enrich his family. But when it comes to helping your family pay the bills, Chabot has voted 15 times to increase health care costs and take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions in Ohio, like asthma, cancer and diabetes. The Chabot Campaign Released A Justice Department Letter Stating That An FBI Fraud Investigation Into Former Chabot Campaign Manager Jamie Schwartz After $123,000 Went Missing From Chabot’s Campaign. “The campaign of U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, released correspondence from the Justice Department that confirmed for the first time that Chabot’s former chief political aide, Jamie Schwartz, is under investigation for fraud. […] The July 21 Justice Department letter to the Chabot campaign’s attorneys in Washington, D.C., Jones Day, discusses a 2011 Jeep Wrangler seized by the FBI in its investigation of Schwartz. ‘An investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation has determined that Steve Chabot for Congress is a victim of the violation of law which resulted in the seizure and forfeiture of the above-referenced property,’ the letter, signed by Stephen Jobe, chief of the department’s legal forfeiture unit, states. […] About $123,000 went missing from the campaign. About a year ago, Schwartz closed his consulting business and vanished from the local political world. He could not be reached for comment. Schwartz has not been charged with wrongdoing. The Justice Department letter said the amount of forfeited funds “available for remission” is $13,255.20.
