Not your usual Mother Goose

Since completing her disse rtation more than 10 years ago, Shawn Jarvis, SCSU fo reign language professor, has had a passion for German fai ry tales, particularly those written by women. So she has taken that passion, and years of detailed translation work, and turned the tales into, The Queen's Mi rror: Fai1y Tales by Gennan Women Writers. The anthology includes 28 stories by 25 female authors, ranging from Catherine the Great and Elisabeth, Queen of Romania, to some of the most prolific writers of the 19th century. The book includes authors from varying socio-economi c, ethnic and religious backgrounds, including famous and not-so-famous authors who had an unrecognized inl1uence on later generations of readers and writers. "There exists no corresponding historical anthology for German-speaking women writers, either in German or English," Jarvis said. "This coll ection will pay them long­ overdue homage." The book, which was produced in conjunction with her coll eague, Jeannine Blackwell at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, will be published by University of Nebraska Press.

2 Summer program provides iump start on college

Rob Gardner wasn't thrilled about having a mere two days to relax after graduating from Elk River High School before starting college classes. But that was before he arrived at SCSU and joined students in the Advanced Preparation Program (APP), an experience he quickly learned would be "really cool. " By the end of five weeks with 24 other incoming SCSU freshman students of color, Gardner was hooked on college life and higher education, so much so that he signed up for additional summer courses and continued his four-hour-a-day job at the American Indian Center. He and his new friends had found a sense of security, a feeling that "someone's always going to be there for you. " Jermaine Wheeler, a student from Toronto, Canada, agreed that his five-week investment in the program was beneficial in preparing him for the fall. "It helps you get used to the campus and make friends," he said . "It gives you an edge." For Wheeler, who chose SCSU because of the university's nationally accredited Mass Communications department and because of the recommendation of his cousin Lauren, an SCSU senior, it was especially reassuring to get help with the transition from Canadian English to American English. His favorite example is the word color, which he was accustomed to writing "colour." The APP experience is all about giving participants just the sort of special "edge" experience Gardner and Wheeler had, said Shahzad Ahmad, director of Multicultural Student Programs at SCSU. Included are lessons in dealing with financial aid and other practical aspects of campus life, good study habits, building teamwork and becoming involved in campus activities. "They learn how to be good student leaders as well as how to succeed academically," he said. "They learn it's very important to take responsibility."

A new HUSKY DEN with a river view

The Minnesota Twins may still be looking for a new stadium, but the SCSU Husky football and soccer teams will have a new place to call home as early os Foll 2002. The Minnesota Legislature has approved a $4.75 million appropriation, combined with a fundraising effort, to construct a new athletic facility on the south side of the SCSU campus on the east side of Halenbeck Hall. The site, which overlooks the Mississippi River, is currently used as a practice facility and a site for intramural activities. The outdoor stadium is being designed as a multi-use facility so that it can serve as many campus needs as possible. Initial plans are that it would accommodate the football and soccer teams, as well as intramural sports, physical education classes, and outdoor events such as concerts and commencement ceremonies. A 15-member planning committee will be responsible for determining usage and facility design, which will be affected, in part, by the amount of private funding the project receives. "Private support in a situation like this is crucial," said Shawn Teal, vice president for University Advancement. "A public-private partnership would allow us to build a recreational facility that would serve the full needs of the campus, our students, and the St. Cloud community well into the future."

excellence and opportunity. The James W. Miller Learning Resources Center was built with the flexibility and capacity to respond to rapidly developing technology and to continue to be an important resource for the community throughout the new century. Technology in the building links students, faculty and the community to this century's exploding variety of information available in an increasing variety of forms. It was in 1979 that SCSU began to plan for a library to replace Centennial Hall, built a decade earlier to meet the needs of a campus with about 8,000 students. It was not until 16 years later, by which time SCSU was serving more than 14,000 students, that the Minnesota Legislature allocated funds for the project. Construction began two years later, in 1998. Construction unexpectedly became a learning experience for SCSU students after workers uncovered a gravesite in the southeast corner of the site . SCSU history professor Richard M. Rothaus oversaw the dig, where archaeology students unearthed 25 graves that dated to the 1850s. After the remains, coffins and personal items found at the site are catalogued and analyzed, the remains will be reburied at o local cemetery. Memorial artifacts are now on display at the learning resources center. Friends of SCSU made the 235,000-square-foot center possible by lobbying for state funding and fundraising throughout the Campaign for a New Century campaign. "We are greatly indebted to them for making this incredible resource available to our students and faculty, as well as the entire community," said President Roy H. Saigo. " What a wonderful way to begin a new millennium."

High-tech The center offers 575 computers, 1,000 connections, climate­ controlled archives, distance learning classrooms, and staff trained to help with technology use. To facilitate teaching and learning, the center's cutting-edge technology is complemented by Internet connections in every residence hall room and a growing number of electronic classrooms across campus.

Flexible Design features that will allow for continued change and growth include an innovative compact shelving system with room for nearly twice the current holdings, and moveable technology/ wiring channels and carpeting that make it easy to add or move equipment.

Inviting Comfortable seating, soft lighting, muted colors, a variety of study settings, a coffee shop and plenty of windows are conducive to research and study.

Community resource The center is open to everyone in the community. Technology brings the center's resources to all Central Minnesota media centers, serving students as well as libraries, hospitals, colleges and universities.

Barbara came up to look at houses, rather than have them stay in the dorm. "l think she was appreciative," he said , "even though I told her 'Barb, I'd have given you the top bunk."' Saigo's co nversation is punctuated with such anecdotes. He also delights in telling about how surprised people are when he comes up to them on campus and starts a conversation . 'Tl! go up to students on the sidewalk, maintenance workers planting flowers, anyone I pass," he said. "I've met a wonderful bunch of students, faculty and staff. "

13 Search committee member John Swenson, a general maintenance worker, agrees. "We were looking for what I'd call a real person," he said. "Roy certainly fit that bill. He seemed like somebody who would relate to all constituencies. And he has. He's done a good job of that" "The thing that really impressed me was his record. He had been in very chall enging situations and had built an impeccable record," says Lalita Subrahmanyan, another search committee member. "He seems to have a strong capacity to bring people together," Bringing people together will be one of Saigo's main priorities as president. Already he has attended countless gatherings on and off campus, asking alumni, faculty, students, maintenance workers, and other staff what they like and what should be changed at SCSU "As president," he told faculty and staff during his fall 2000 convocation address, "I will work with you to set goals for St. Cloud State University. I have been asked, 'What is

your vision.' It's not MY vision, but OUR vision that's important." After discussions with faculty, students and administrators and from studying strategic plans, Saigo articulated five priorities for building on what he finds already is one of the country's finest universities. These priorities fit well with the five themes of SCSU's Strategic Plan, which are Academic Distinction, Being a Service Community, Diversity and Justice, Information Technology, and External Relationships. The priorities: Build an atmosphere of trust, respect and openness, valuing communication and the free and open exchange of ideas. The leader of SCSU's Faculty Association, Judy Foster, said most of the facu It y a re optimistic about the Continue to attract excellent students, including more possibilities and opportunities that come with new international students and students of color leadership. "President Saigo is very personable and highly qualified. We look forward to working with him.'' Assist f acuity to be the finest teachers, scholars, mentors In her fall convocation address to faculty and staff, and advisers. Foster encouraged them to join Saigo in his quest for more and better communication. "I have pledged myself to Build more opportunities for f acuity and staff to use President Saigo to work to improve communication technology effectively between the faculty and the administration, to improve the working relationships and collegiality on our campus, to Become an even more significant player in economic improve our ability to solve problems constructively development than we already are.

14 THE PRIORITIES:

Build an atmosphere of trust, respect and openne ss, valuing communication and the free and open exchange of ideas. "As a university family, our strength lies in our diversity as individuals with a common purpose," Soigo said. "By developing greater trust and positive inter­ dependence on campus, we will strengthen our ability to continue to attract the best faculty and the best students to St. Cloud."

Continue to attract excellent students, including more international students and students of color. "Continued growth in our international programs will give our students and faculty more opportunities to broaden their perspectives on the world," he said. "Our international students like Nishio Rao bring so much richness to our campus family. Nishta's mother is a leading diplomat and her father is a police chief in India. Of all the universities in the United States, Nishio chose St. Cloud for her undergraduate work in pre-med. She's spending her last semester participating in our international program at Oxford."

Assist faculty to be the finest teachers, scholars, mentors and advisers. "We will strive to increase professional development opportunities for faculty and establish resources lo achieve these goals," Sa,go said. "Our faculty constitute one of our greatest resources. In a recent survey of our alumni, 9 7 percent gave a positive response when asked about St. Cloud State. They commented most about quality education, good memories, iob success and excellent professors."

Build more opportunities for faculty and staff to use technology effectively. "Establishing technology ta enhance teaching and learning, to increase our community's global perspective, and to enhance distance learning will become increasingly important," Saigo says. "Students come to us computer-literate and they leave together, and to improve our ability to resolve our conflicts ta enter a technology-based world.

'MAKING WAFFLES '

A favorite anecdote of President Roy Saigo's is "the waffle story," which illustrates well the importance of making connections:

"During one of our family's lost visits this summer with my mother in California, we stayed at on extended­ stay inn in Sacramento, one of those places that offers a continental breakfast. "One morning I had just made myself a waffle on the do-it-yourself griddle when I struck up a conversation with an elderly woman. She said she'd eaten, but she sure loved waffles. I talked her into trying one and showed her how to make it. We got to talking as we enjoyed our waffles, and when she learned I was the new president at St. Cloud State University, she told me her mother had graduated from St. Cloud Normal School in 1903, and that he r daughter and a neighbor had graduated from St. Cloud State. "The impression she had of our university from these graduates was excellent. "What a satisfying memory I had of making this connection 2,000 miles from here. But this story got even better a few weeks later when the woman I had shared a waffle with, Marjorie Tess, sent me a kind letter. In it was a $5,000 donation to the university in memory of her mother. "My point is not that I make a good waffle, but how taking the time to connect with someone, to communicate and to give a little of ourselves, can be rewarding on so many levels."
