Linnaeus Arboretum Bird Hike... On Saturday, April 25, 9-10:30 a.m., join Gustavus naturalist Bob “the Birdman” Dunlap for a bird hike in the arboretum. Mid- to late April is an exciting time for birding in Minnesota. Ducks, geese, and swans are still moving through the state on their northward migration while other new arrivals, such as brown thrashers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, and white-throated sparrows, are just beginning their journey north. Bob will teach you how to identify birds not only by sight but by sound as well. During spring migration, every new day brings a surprise. What will it be April 25? Bring your binoculars and come to the Linnaeus Arboretum to find out! As with other Continuing Education events, there is a fee ($9) for the general public; however, Gustavus faculty, staff, and students may participate without charge.

MAYDAY! Preview... As a pre-MAYDAY! event, a 90-minute documentary titled The Tank Man will be shown Tuesday, April 28, starting at 7 p.m. in Olin 103. The film focuses on a solitary, unarmed protester who, on June 5, 1989, one day after Chinese troops expelled thousands of demonstrators from Tiananmen Square in Beijing, stood his ground before a column of tanks advancing down the Avenue of Eternal Peace. Captured by Western photographers watching nearby, this extraordinary confrontation became an icon of the fight for freedom around the world. Veteran filmmaker Antony Thomas investigates the mystery of the "tank man"—his identity, his fate, and his significance for the Chinese leadership. The search for the tank man reveals China's startling social compact—its embrace of capitalism while dissent is squashed—designed to stifle the nationwide unrest of 1989. This policy has allowed educated elites and entrepreneurs to profit handsomely while the majority of Chinese still face brutal working conditions and low wages, and all Chinese must endure strict political and social controls. Some of these controls regulate speech on the Internet—and have generated criticism over the involvement of major U.S. corporations such as Yahoo!, Cisco, Microsoft, and Google. The screening is open to the public without charge.

And MAYDAY! Itself... “Tiananmen + 20 Years” is the topic of the College's 29th annual MAYDAY! Peace Conference, to be held Wednesday, April 29. Andrew Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University and a leading expert on Chinese affairs and politics, opens the daylong conference at 10 a.m. in Christ Chapel. The afternoon keynote speaker is Yang Jianli, a human rights activist and participant in the 1989 Tiananmen Square demonstrations. His talk and the closing ceremony will also be hosted in Christ Chapel. Conference organizers are planning several topic-related workshops, a Democracy Wall, a film festival, and other social-action activities. The conference, an annual event designed to educate the campus community and beyond about issues related to peace, human rights, and social justice, is open to the public at no charge. For more information, contact the Office of Marketing and Communication at Gustavus (call 507-933-7520 or e-mail marketing@gustavus.edu).

Extraordinary People

Pamela Kittelson (biology) and seven biology alumni—Christopher Pinahs '06, Joshua Dwyer '05, Angela Ingersoll '05, Elaine Mans Clinton '06, Jennifer Rieke Groehler '06, Brady Rutman '06, and Matthew Volenec '05—published a paper in the April issue of American Midland Naturalist titled "Age Structure and Genetic Diversity of Four Quercus macrocarpa (Bur Oak) Populations in Fragmented Oak Savanna along the Central Minnesota River Valley." They found that local oak populations have few middle-aged individuals and that younger individuals are less genetically diverse. However, they also found evidence that active restoration that re-introduces fire and reduces grazing has potential to enhance oak regeneration and genetic diversity.

Lisa Heldke (philosophy) presented a paper, titled "Cultivating Cosmic Patriotism by Cultivating Cosmos: Urban Gardening and the Creation of Community," at the annual conference of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, in College Station, Texas.

Douglas Nimmo (music) and Craig Kirchhoff, professor of music at the University of Minnesota,Minneapolis, are working on a collaborative sabbatical project, studying the instrumental conducting program at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. (The program at SA is considered to be one of the finest in the world.) Early in the semester, Nimmo and Kirchhoff were in residence at the Sibelius Academy, where they observed classes, interviewed faculty, administrators, and students, and attended concerts. They returned with more than 40 hours of digital video and are now heavily engaged in reviewing and editing the video for use in instrumental conducting classes and professional presentations. In addition, they served as consultants to the student conductors while in residence.

Baker Lawley and Rebecca Fremo (both English) presented papers at the Minnesota Colleges and Universities English Discipline Conference on Saturday, April 4, at the University of Minnesota Conference Center in St. Paul. Their panel was titled "Cross Disciplinary Possibilities: Helping English Majors Analyze 'Our' Conventions."
