EE very year, one student in each of Loyola’s colleges and schools is honored with the President’s Medallion, a University tradition that dates back more than 40 years. “Our

President’s Medallion winners exhibit the qualities that best represent the Loyola student and the spirit in which Loyola’s founders created our University: scholarship, leadership, and service,” says President Michael Garanzini, S.J. “I speak for all of Loyola when I say that we are extremely

proud of these students and their accomplishments.”

Medallion recipients are recommended for the award by their respective academic deans based on achievements both inside

and outside the classroom. Not only are they exemplary scholars, but they must demonstrate integrity and leadership by serving others through student organizations or community service.

NEWS FOR FACULTY AND STAFF OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO | JAN/FEB 2007

TT hrough the Loyola Gives to Chicago program, University faculty and staff

brightened the holiday season for some of Chicago’s less fortunate, raising funds and purchasing gifts for members of 40 families.

Loyola Gives is an annual program held in conjunction with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, which identified 500 families facing financial difficulties. Their struggles stemmed from a variety of situations, including homelessness, unemployment, illness, or substance abuse.

In collaboration with Catholic Charities’ Unwrap the Spirit sponsor-a-family program, Loyola Gives had a banner year. Faculty and staff supported close to 10 percent of the entire

Catholic Charities’ program, and also collected more than 100 unwrapped gifts to be donated in Loyola’s surrounding communities of Rogers Park and Edgewater.

Summur Roberts, coordinator, Community Relations, organized the campaign, and recently received a call from Catholic Charities, which was overwhelmed by Loyola’s generosity. Several families also sent cards expressing their gratitude for the kindness of faculty and staff.

Loyola Gives would like to extend a special thanks to Black Men’s Initiative, UMC, Ann Bezbatchenko, Irene Childs, Cheryl Sporlein, and Judy Sunvold for all of their help this year.

We need your feedback on the University’s new digital signage pilot program, which kicked off in mid-January. The goal of the pilot, sponsored by University Marketing and Communications and Information Technology Services, is to determine if flat screens are a useful way of sharing University news and events with the Loyola community.

During the pilot, flat screens can be found in the following locations:

• Lewis Towers (1st floor elevators and lobby)

• Baumhart Hall (1st floor elevators and cafeteria)

• Sullivan Center for Student Services (lobby)

A formal survey about the digital signage will circulate in the next month, but your immediate feedback is welcome. To share your thoughts about what you think of the locations, the information being communicated, where you would like to see more screens, etc., please send comments to UMC@luc.edu.

>> WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!

Have you noticed anything new around campus—like flat screens?

georges rouault s miserere et guerreFebruary 3 - March 31

Georges Rouault (1871-1958), a French painter and deeply religious artist, conceived the Miserere series of 100 etchings shortly before World War I. Each of the 58 plates serves as a contemporary icon of scripture, social concerns, and the human response to war.

i remember purim: molly j. schiffFebruary 16 - April 29

Schiff’s work is based on her fond memories of Purim, a Jewish holiday that celebrates the bravery of Esther. Employing a bright palette of traditional spring colors, Schiff is playful in her depiction of Old Testament figures.

science and faith between observance and censorship: the index of forbidden books February 17 - April 28

This exhibition of the Roman Catholic Church’s Index of Forbidden Books and rare volumes focuses on scientific and religious books banned by the Church following the Counter Reformation.

tradition in transition: russian icons in the age of the romanovsFebruary 17 - May 20

Objects on display examine the impact of Western culture on the evolution of Russian religious painting from the 17th through the 20th Centuries. The exhibit will include jeweled icons once owned by the Russian imperial family, mass-produced images made for the poorest peasants, traditional icons, and other works that illustrate modern Western innovations.

Q. How long have you worked for Loyola?

A. Since 1985.

Q. How has the culture or environment at Loyola affected your research?

A. It has affected me very positively. In particular, the faculty and students in the Women’s Studies Program have taught me a great deal. I have learned about books and ideas from my Women’s Studies colleagues and have used these ideas in my scholarship. Along with theology, Women’s Studies has been a “home” for me. My colleagues in theology have also been both challenging and supportive.

Q. What is your biggest challenge within the theology department?

A. Juggling my responsibilities in theology with those at the Gannon Center, which I direct. In theology, the big challenge is staying on top of the various committees on which I serve, along with getting classes prepared and trying to keep my research and writing going. In the Gannon Center, I’m still learning the job. So everything is a challenge these days!

Q. You’re hosting a dinner party. What do you serve?

A. If I were having a dinner party today, I’d probably make some soup or a stew, get some nice bread from a local bakery, and have my husband make some creme brulée for dessert, which he does very well. [ 3 ]

LUHS names new president and CEO

The Loyola University Health System (LUHS) has named Paul Whelton, MD, its new president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Dr. Anthony Barbato, who is retiring after more than 30 years of service to the

health system, including 18 years as its leader. Dr. Whelton comes to Loyola from the Tulane University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, where he served as senior vice president for health sciences and dean of the Tulane University School of Medicine.

“Dr. Whelton’s experience and successes at two major health centers—Johns Hopkins and Tulane—are indicative of the talent and dedication that this man brings to the work of medical education, patient care, and research,” said Michael Garanzini, S.J., president, Loyola University Chicago.

Dr. Whelton will arrive on February 12. For more information, contact Anne Dillon, LUHS director of media relations, at 708-216-8232.

Economics prof authors study on property tax

Skyrocketing property taxes are a major concern for Cook County residents and a political hot potato. Loyola professor David

Merriman, School of Business Administration, along with two colleagues, recently authored a policy brief that provides another take on potential solutions. The brief, “Alternatives to Cook County’s 7% Cap on Assessment Increases,” has been published by the Institute of Government & Public Affairs at the University of Illinois.

“With the cap expiring this year, and the state legislature debating whether to renew it, our brief offers some interesting policies that might be superior to the current law,” says Merriman.

For more information on the policy brief, please contact professor Merriman at 312-915-6071 or visit igpa.uiuc.edu/lib/pdf/PF19-1.pdf.

President names new VP

In December 2006, Kelly Shannon was appointed vice president of University Marketing and Communications by President Garanzini.

Shannon arrived at Loyola in March 2005 and was charged with building the newly created division of University Marketing and Communications (UMC). She oversees a team of 15 who are responsible for the University’s brand marketing, media relations, employee communications, University publications, advancement communications, and University Web site initiatives.

Among the achievements during her tenure, Shannon led the internal team that created Loyola’s new image advertising campaign, which launched in March 2006. Her group also developed new brand and graphic standards for Loyola and redesigned all publications. UMC’s redesign of the University’s Web site is currently under way.

Prior to Loyola, Shannon, who began her career as a journalist, served in various communica-tions and marketing leadership roles with Tribune Company and the Chicago Tribune.

Winter reading

CChicago’s winter weather is enough to drive the bravest indoors. Fight cabin fever with these books authored by two of Loyola’s own.

In Savoring: A New Model of Positive Experience, Fred Bryant (professor, psychology) summarizes his past 25 years of research on the psychology of joy. Along with co-author Joseph Veroff, Bryant explores the concept of “savoring”—attending to the joys, pleasures, and other positive feelings that we feel in our lives. The book includes strategies and hands-on exercises that can enhance savoring in our lives.

Laura Miller (professor, anthropology) investigates Japan’s growing culture of beauty in Beauty Up: Exploring Contemporary Japanese Body Aesthetics. Dr. Miller examines a wide range of phenomena—aesthetic salons, dieting products, male beauty activities, and beauty language—to find out why Japanese women and men are paying so much attention to their bodies. She connects various beauty

procedures to larger issues of gender ideology, the culturally-constructed nature of beauty ideals, and the globalization of beauty technologies and standards.

Miller also recently co-edited the book Bad Girls of Japan, a collection of essays that traces the concept of the bad girl in Japan by exploring various topics, including mountain witches, murderers, performance artists, cartoonists, schoolgirls, and shoppers.

Jack Kent scholars

TThis winter marks the second term at Loyola for two prestigious scholarship winners in the Graduate School. James Bennett

and Kelley Johnson were awarded Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate Scholarships after a nationwide selection process that drew 1,100 nominees. Bennett and Johnson were chosen by the foundation based on their academic performance, potential to contribute to their fields of study, determination, volunteer service, leadership, and involvement in the arts and humanities.

A native of Tucson, Ariz., and a graduate of Providence College (R.I.), Bennett is studying mathematics. Johnson, who hails from suburban St. Charles, Ill., has returned to Illinois after attending Luther College in Iowa to pursue studies in sociology.

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarships are among the most sought after by graduate students and cover tuition, room, board, fees, and books—up to $50,000 annually—for as many as six years. The 76 recipients of the scholarship come from 33 states and nine foreign nations.

Loyola honors 1950’s All-Decade Team

OOn December 9, with sister school Loyola University New Orleans in town to take on the men’s basketball team, Loyola paused to honor its 1950s All-Decade Team.

Fifteen athletes from that decade—12 of them enshrined in the Loyola Athletics Hall of Fame—were saluted in a halftime tribute and honored at a reception following the game.

As part of the festivities, Loyola’s current men’s basketball team took to the court in replica 1950’s jerseys, which were auctioned off to benefit the Loyola University New Orleans Katrina Relief Fund. Proceeds totaled more than $6,350.

Members of the 1950’s All-Decade Team: Jack Carpenter, Ed Earle, Don Hanrahan, Nick Kladis, Ralph Klaerich, Paul Krucker, Jerry Lyne, Art McZier, Allan Norville, Bill Palka, Clarence Red, Art Schalk, Paul Sheedy, Elwood Sigwards, and Ed Stube.

When rights are wrongIf your freedom inhibits another person’s, are you really free?

Some Loyola students believed that their rights were violated when Ann Coulter delivered a speech on March 23, 2006. College Republicans had their right to participate in public discourse with Coulter, while protesters had their right to peacefully express their objection to it. So both sides of the political spectrum could express their ideas and opinions freely.

Approving the contentious Coulter as a campus speaker led to a “peaceful” protest, “Turn Your Back on Hate.” Members of both the pro- and anti-Coulter camps challenged their opposition’s stance, while promoting their own.

As a Jesuit and Catholic institution, Loyola encourages the civil discourse of ideas and beliefs. But many of us are so quick to speak that we never listen, so quick to challenge others that we fail to consider the validity of their arguments. Instead of pushing against preset boundaries, perhaps we should expand them, allowing for the exchange of ideas and self-growth. Freedom of speech implies that we must speak up and let others do the same.

studentcolumn

Nisha Baxi (“Student Column,” Inside Loyola, November 2006) recommended the abolition of faculty tenure, on the grounds that tenure makes it nearly impossible to remove and replace under-performing faculty members.

Tenure is a solution to a problem—just not to that problem. It is a solution to the problem of the challenges to academic freedom which might be—and sometimes are—launched against professors from within or outside of the University. That such pressures exist to conform

one’s teaching and research to external forces is evident from the daily headlines, from talk radio, and from the Internet.

Ms. Baxi states, movingly, that “most faculty start out with a poignant passion for their subject, but as the years progress, some let their passion fade away.” To the extent that she’s right, why does this happen? Is it tenure? Or could it be due to overloaded class sections, heavy teaching loads, no sabbatical policy, and low pay? There are solutions to these problems too. But abolishing

tenure is not among them.

Still, many faculty maintain our passion for teaching precisely because academic freedom allows us to pursue any subject available for serious intellectual inquiry, including those subjects closest to our hearts.

Loyola soccer programs honored

AA fter capturing Horizon League titles on the field, both Loyola’s men’s and women’s soccer teams recently were recognized for their work in the classroom, as each

received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Award. The Ramblers were one of just 11 NCAA Division I schools to have both genders

earn the award.

In addition, the NSCAA also announced its academic all-region teams; four LUC women’s players were honored, led by junior Heather Lau who earned Third Team Scholar All-Central Region distinction. For Lau, the award comes on the

heels of an outstanding season, one that saw her achieve All-Horizon League First Team honors, while helping to lead the Ramblers to their second Horizon League title and the accompanying berth to the NCAA Tournament. Classmate Amanda Ward and seniors

Mary Dale and Emily Peick were named Honorable Mention Scholar All-Central Region.

The NSCAA individual award is one of the most prestigious in the sport, due in part to its unique selection process. Honorees must have a minimum 3.3 grade-point average

(on a 4.0 scale) with junior or higher standing academically while starting more than 50 percent of their team’s matches. In addition, colleges and universities at all

levels (NCAA Division I, II, and III, plus NAIA) compete for the award as opposed to honoring student-athletes for each specific level of competition.

Loyola’s Schoolof BusinessAdministration(SBA) recently appointed Rocco Martino (MBA ’78) the new chairman of the Dean’s Board of Advisors for the SBA. Martino, generalpartner of LaSalle Capital Group L.P., succeeds Robert L. Parkinson Jr. (BBA ’73, MBA ’75), chairman and CEO of Baxter International Inc., who is stepping down after serving as chairman since 2004. Parkinson will continue to serve on the Board of Advisors.

Loyola also recently named four new members to its Council of Regents, a group of distinguished executives who supports the University’s strategies. Regents are recognized leaders in their respective fields and serve as ambassadors for the University. The four new appointees: Richard Parrillo, chairman & CEO, United Automobile Insurance Group; Dr. Steve DeAngeles, Chicago physician; Rick Mancuso, owner, Lake Forest Sports Cars; and Donna Marzano, president and principle, Dodi Foundation.

Loyola welcomes new appointees

Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM, began her career at Mundelein College in 1961 in the education department. She went on to hold numerous positions at Mundelein and, later, at Loyola. In 1994, she announced her intention to retire. John Piderit, S.J., then-president of Loyola, had other ideas.

“‘I know the job for you,’ he said,” Schmidt recalls. “And just like that I became what we called a ‘booster shooter’ for the men’s basketball team. I began meeting individually with student athletes once a week to help them balance sports and academic success.” Over time, the need for a “booster shooter” diminished, and Schmidt moved into yet another role. She is now the chaplain of the men’s basketball team.

As chaplain, she is a fixture at games, appearing an hour before tip-off to lead the team in prayer. “Loyola is so fortunate to have coaches who give wonderful examples and encourage Loyola values among the students, and the faculty and staff do the same thing,” Schmidt says. “They have great spirit. I love working with them.”

This year, the Ramblers’ No. 1 fan hopes Loyola triumphs as Horizon League champ, which would give the team an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament for the first time in more than 20 years. “These men have worked so hard, and Jim Whitesell is an outstanding coach,” Schmidt says.
