Can We Create a Just Society? Delves Said Sheena Easton a secret Endowment, social items objects of trustee action By Glen Feighery Editor Preserving endowment for the future and examining quality of life at DePauw were the two primary focuses of University Board of Trustees action Friday. In its semiannual meeting last week, the trustees mandated new policies for management of the endowment fund, and a new group to oversee study of social issues on campus. The new endowment policy is aimed at eliminating the practice of spending all of the interest income earned by the fund each year. The reason, according to Board of Trustee Chairman Eugene Delves, is to counter the effects of inflation. "We want to be sure the endowment we have today will be generating the same kind of income 50 years from now," he said. In previous years, spending all of the endowment income year by year - a common practice for universities - eroded the fund's purchasing power. The University will gradually begin retaining an amount of each year's interest, and will be able to increase the amount as money for the endowment builds up. "We couldn't do this without the $90 million endowment," Delves said. He added the policy will place the Universi­ ty "on a firm financial basis for the future." The trustees also took action on social issues on campus by re­ questing the administration to appoint a group to coordinate the study of the quality of life at DePauw. Under this group's purview will be alcohol use and abuse, social options, rush and the relationship of extra-curricular activities to academics. Just dropping by "We've got too many fragmented things studying the quality of This skydiver delivered the game ball prior to the DePauw-Benedictine game Saturday.

He said the group will try to pre­ vent committees from duplicating each other's efforts as well as look at social issues. "The process of looking at a problem helps to solve the problem,".

He stressed, however, that "the sense of the board is, 'Let's not study this to death:" "DePauw handles other things well, Symposium to weigh prospects for equality so there's no reason why this can't be handled well."

  • Oleg Grabar the TENSIONS of VISUAL CREATIVITY
    Oleg Grabar THE TENSIONS OF VISUAL CREATIVITY Some fourteen years ago, I had the pleasure of introducing a series of paintings by Philip Taaffe through the publication of excerpts from a mem- orable conversation we had while looking at his mostly new paintings. I Damascene Triangle III (2008) remember so well being struck by several tensions in his work. There was Mixed media on canvas. 88 x 88 x 88 inches a tension between what may be called naturalism in the representation of (223.5 x 223.5 x 223.5 cm) things, insects or flowers, and the overall composition of a single motif repeated many times. There was also a tension between geometry of finite forms and an arabesque-like playfulness of potentially endless patterns. Both of these tensions illustrated in a contemporary idiom or grammar the ways and problems of the decorative forms which appear on walls and objects of the art of Muslim dynasties and cities from the ninth century onwards. The fascination I, as a historian, developed for Taaffe’s work grew out of this wonderful coincidence of the very modern with ancient ways. Meeting a second time for several hours of exchanged views around recent paintings, finished or unfinished, I realized that certain words, ideas, or concepts kept recurring in Taaffe’s comments, words like “experiential,” “physicality,” “meditation,” concepts like “unleashing of certain historical forces” or “of forces of memory.” What these words reflected, it seems to me, is a new and far more profound tension in Philip Taaffe’s work and in the expectations he has of a public’s reaction to his work.

  • An Open Letter to the Government of Iran
    8 The DePauw T : uesday, October 11, 1983 An Open Letter to the Government of Iran: We, as speeialists in lralliall and Islamie studies, protest the haagiIIg of 16 Baha'is, including seven women and three teen-age girls, by the authorities of the Islamis Republic of Iran in the city of Shiraz on June 16 and 18. 1983. The Iranian Baha'is have repeatedly expressed and demonstrated their loyalty to Iran. Nevertheless, they have been systematically persecuted for the mere fact that they adhere to a religion other than Islam. Such persecution and these cruel and unjust execu­ tions seem to us a contradiction of all that is best in the traditions of Islam and the Iranian people. Ervand Abrahamian. Baruch College.
