'Commission Gustavus 150' Announced... President Ohle and the Gustavus Board of Trustees have announced "Commission Gustavus 150," a major initiative to chart the College’s future and plan for its sesquicentennial in 2011-12. Warren Beck ’67, president of Edina-based Gabbert and Beck who has served twice as chair of the Board of Trustees and was instrumental in the 1998 tornado recovery effort, will lead the commission.
     Commission Gustavus 150 is a process designed to involve all the College’s constituents in integrating and expanding the College’s strategic plan and making recommendations for the College’s future advancement. The commission will engage approximately 500 alumni, church leaders, community partners, faculty, staff, administrators, parents, students, and other friends in examining the College’s strategic plan and the College’s heritage and strengths.
     The Commission comprises eight task forces that will examine different aspects of the College’s strategic mission, core values, and future aspirations. The task forces are intentionally heavily weighted with off-campus constituents in order to gain broader input and ideas regarding the internally created strategic plan. In addition to the off-campus members there are three or four faculty members, two administrators/staff, and two students being asked to serve on each task force. The eight task forces are the Task Force on Academic Affairs and New Initiatives; the Task Force on Interdisciplinary Programs; the Task Force on Student Life; the Task Force on Community Engagement; the Task Force on Global and Multicultural Initiatives; the Task Force on Faith; the Task Force on Stewardship; and the Task Force on Facilities and Finances.
     The task forces will be informed in their deliberations by data gathered from a series of local and national "summit meetings" involving alumni, church leaders, and other friends of the College and by relevant information reported by the faculty, staff, and students. In January, the on-campus community will have opportunity to participate in a similar dialogue. Each task force will make specific recommendations to the Board of Trustees by the end of this academic year. These recommendations will be focused mainly on concepts and less on implementation logistics. They will then be available for on-campus and off-campus constituents to review and provide input on priorities. The Board of Trustees will consider the recommendations and priorities submitted and determine a final list of priorities to be announced at Homecoming 2009. In the end, the tactical implementation will remain with the faculty, administrators, and staff. This exciting and significant effort will have a dramatic impact on the future advancement of Gustavus Adolphus College. Thank you in advance for your involvement.

On Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 7 to 11 a.m. and from noon to 4 p.m., flu shots will be offered to Gustavus employees and retirees on a first-come, first-served basis in Alumni Hall.

Help Us Rename the 'Yellow Sheet'... When the College's internal newsletter was first produced, it was printed weekly on both sides of an 8.5x14-inch sheet of canary paper (hence the name, Yellow Sheet) and mailed through the campus post office or "delivered by carrier" to the campus community. Now that it is an electronic file on the College's website, it is no longer either yellow or a sheet. As we in the Office of Marketing and Communication have discussed newsletter changes and redesign ideas, we also have bandied about some new names that may better reflect today's newsletter. Here's where you can help us: Read through the list of name finalists below and send an e-mail to waldo@gustavus.edu by Oct. 23 indicating your favorite. We'll tally the responses and let you know if a winner emerges. (You'll note that Yellow Sheet remains among the finalists—some traditions are hard to kill...) The six finalists are: Hilltopper, Inside Gustavus (or Insider), On the Hill, This Week @ Gustavus, Three Flag Times, and Yellow Sheet.

Attendees will again gather by the fireplace hearth in the Lind Interpretive Center to enjoy discussions and lunch.

The official swap will be during the Greens' normal Thursday meeting time from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. It's all free, it discourages excessive consumerism, and it's a great example of recycling.

Nobel Laureate to Speak on Campus... Leon Lederman, winner of the Nobel Prize for physics in 1988 and the Pritzker Professor of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology, will give a free public lecture at Gustavus on Friday, Oct. 24. Lederman’s lecture is titled “Why Did the U.S. Collaborate to Build an $8 Billion Particle Accelerator?” and will start at 7:30 p.m. in Room 103 of F.W. Olin Hall for Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
     In 1979, a fter a 28-year stint on the faculty of Columbia University, Lederman became director of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., where he supervised the construction and utilization of the first superconducting synchrotron (and at the time the highest energy accelerator in the world). In 1986 he helped to found the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, a three-year residence public school for gifted children in the state of Illinois. He is also one of the main proponents of the “Physics First” movement, which seeks to rearrange current high school science curriculum so that students would take physics before chemistry and biology. Lederman will address that topic at on Saturday, Oct. 25, when he addresses the Minnesota Area Association of Physics Teachers meeting hosted at Gustavus.

'Topsy Turvy Mouse' Opens 2008-09 Theatre Season... The Department of Theatre and Dance opens its 2008-09 Anderson Theatre season this weekend with Topsy Turvy Mouse. Written by Peter Gil-Sheridan and directed by Amy Seham, this award-winning play will be performed in Anderson Theatre on Oct. 24, 25, and 31 and Nov. 1 at 8 p.m., with a matinee performance on October 26 at 2 p.m.
     Topsy Turvy Mouse imagines the legacy of today's violence and the effect that it will have on future generations. Richie Haney has been sheltered from the truth of his family's past. When he discovers photographs of his parents' alleged crimes, he is both fascinated and confused. Armed with a camera of his own, he begins to experiment and role-play with his friend Amit, but the line between the virtual and real worlds is soon blurred. What seems like innocent fun soon turns destructive. As one character points out, if you act out the game, you're no longer just pretending. In both shocking and comic scenes, Topsy Turvy Mouse investigates questions of loneliness, fear, difference, and personal responsibility—questions that ultimately cause us to take stock of our entire value system. The production is one part of a larger commitment by the Department of Theatre and Dance to "emphasize the value of performance as a vital means of working for social justice and personal transformation." The cast features students from several academic departments including Gustavus seniors Ella Bonner and Rhea Muchalla; junior Andrea Gullixson; sophomores Eric Noun, Lydia Francis and Christian DeMarais; and first-year Ben Batz.
     Tickets are available through the Gustavus Ticket Center at 507-933-7590. Adult tickets are $7, student and senior citizen tickets $5, and Gustavus students and staff free of charge. Tickets not purchased in advance may be purchased at the Anderson Theatre Box Office beginning one hour prior to curtain.

Author/Educator Residency Enhances CVR Engagement Project... Author, scholar, and educator Laurent A. Parks Daloz will be in residence on campus for four days in late October and will give a public presentation, “From Armored Boy to Wise Old Man: How Men Grow Up . . . or Don't – Men for the 21st Century,” at 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 27, in Alumni Hall. Daloz is senior fellow and co-director of the "Powers of Leadership" program at the Whidbey Institute in Clinton, Wash., and co-author of Common Fire: Leading Lives of Commitment in a Complex World (with his spouse, Sharon Daloz Parks, whom many in the Gustavus community know from her several books and her visits to campus in recent years in connection with the “Gustavus as a Mentoring Community” initiative of the Center for Vocational Reflection).
     Daloz, who is also author of the award-winning book Effective Teaching and Mentoring (second edition titled Mentor: Guiding the Journey of Adult Learners), served in Nepal with the Peace Corps and based his doctorate from Harvard on two years of research in New Guinea. He has published widely in adult education and is currently at work on a new book, From Armored Boy to Wise Old Man: How Men Grow Up . . . or Don't, which is the basis of his public presentation. He will also be facilitating a weekend student retreat on men’s leadership and vocation, giving the homily in Chapel on Monday morning, visiting a number of classes, and consulting with various groups and organizations throughout his four-day residency at Gustavus. His visit is in conjunction with Gustavus's selection as one of 15 colleges in the country to take part in a grant from the Lilly Endowment to develop pilot projects and disseminate best practices for increasing the level of college men's engagement in leadership, service, spirituality, and vocational reflection.

Chinese Writer to Read from Her Works... All are invited to hear acclaimed author Wang Ping read from her works on Thursday, Nov. 6, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Melva Lind Interpretive Center. The reading is open to the public without charge.
