Political engagement: a privilege-a responsibility

From bumper stickers and lawn signs to paid positions and appointments, the depth and breadth of UMM alumni and student engagement in the political process is impressive. Viewpoints and opinions may dramatically differ, but politi­ cal expression is alive and well on campus and wherever UMM alumni call home. Here's a snapshot of how UMMers have been involved during this important election year:

Ann Blaisdell '95, Fort Pierce, Florida, states: "I have my 'VIVA Bush' bumper sticker on my car and talk incessantly about the party platforms differences. I've offered to work with the Republican Headquarters in Vero Beach. Last election I voted via absentee ballot because I was in Guatemala, and you know how the State of Florida messed up! This year we will go to Guatemala AFTER the election!" Ann and husband Bill serve as medical missionaries in Guatemala.

Neil Capano '07, Manchester, New Hamphshire, has been involved in politics since his high school junior year when he landed a job in the mayor's office. He's worked on gubernatorial, congressional and national campaigns. Last summer he managed the Republican National Committee office in Manchester. He organized mailings and door-to-door campaigning, and coordi­ nated contracts for campaign resources and phone lines. He has two favorite tasks. "It sounds simple, but I enjoy distributing signs and bumper stickers-the image of a campaign. Everyone can get involved at this level." For Neil Capano '07, political signs are symbolically Capano, UMM's College Republicans chair, believes the essence of a volunteer-oriented campaign. every level of a good campaign should be volunteer­ oriented and volunteer-based.

Tile Art dedicated in Independence Hall

An untitled photograph by Mandy German '07, Watertown, South Dakota, was chosen as a finalist from over 19,000 entries for the 2004 Photographer Forum's Spring Photography Contest. Her photo­ graph will be included in an annual publication. Last year, German was a finalist in the magazine's Best of College Photography Contest which had over 31,000 entries. Last spring a collaborative art piece, commissioned by UMM Residential Life, was dedicated in Independence Hall. Created in the spring of 2003 by students in Teaching Specialist Kevin Flicker's Tilemaking course, the work features elements of the prairie-birds and butterflies, earth and stars, fish and lizards, prairie flowers and mushrooms. The composition is unified by theme and medium, yet each artist's style and creativity is evident in the individual tiles. The approximately 300 tiles were arranged by Flicker and his students and permanently mounted in Indy Hall's lobby by Dan Payne,UMM Plant Services carpenter.

Every August artists and community members gather at Niemackl Lake Park, about 15 miles north of Morris, to smash scrap iron into small bits no larger than two inches wide. They heat the iron to a white-hot 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit, and then pour it, gleaming and glowing, into molds of sand to create more than 100 sculptures. Then they celebrate the shared experience and the creative spirit. One work of art, created by the artists, is permanently installed in the Herman area as a gift to the community and its visitors.
