Editor's Note: This is the second
article highlighting the sciences at Saint
John's University and the CoUege of Saint
Benedict. The first article, which appeared
in the summer 1998 issue of Saint John's
magazine, traced the evolution of the sci­ences
at the coUeges. This article focuses on
the new and renovated science buildings at
Saint John's that were completed in August
1998.
"The welfare of our country depends on
a global economy which is increasingly
dependent on math, science and technol-ogy,"
so says George Allen, retired vice
president of research and development at
3M and a member of the Saint John's Uni­versity
Board of Regents. "It's rather
simple," he adds. "Today it's all about sci­ence
and technology. It's in our television
sets, our computers and our automobiles,
not to mention the workplace. We must
have well-trained scientists and technolo­gists
to maintain the pinnacle of our suc­cess
in these fields and to provide for the
future well-being of society. It is our re­sponsibility
to make sure that college stu­dents
are groomed, skilled and educated in

these fields. If you want a first-class sci­ence
program, you need a first-class facil­ity.
Without it, you won't attract students
and you won't be able to compete."
First-class science facilities - that's what
Saint John's and Saint Benedict's set out to
achieve at the beginning of this decade.
For years, the colleges have had an out­standing
science faculty dedicated to
teaching and student learning (see The
Evolution of Sciences, Saint John's maga­zine,
spring 1998). The colleges have insti­tuted
innovative curricular and pedagogi­cal
change and invested millions of dollars
in scientific instrumentation and equip­ment
as well as computer wiring, net­works,
software and hardware. During
this time student interest in the sciences
continued to swell - enrollment in the
sciences has quadrupled since the existing
Science Center was constructed in 1965.
Unfortunately, the science facilities did not
kept pace with programmatic changes.
The first step in the expansion of the
science facilities was the construction of
the Ardolf Science Center at the College of
Saint Benedict in 1992. This award-win­ning
facility currently houses the joint
chemistry and nutrition departments for
CSB and SJU. Anticipating the move of the
chemistry department to its new quarters,
SJU president Dietrich Reinhart, OSB,
launched a systematic analysis of pro­grammatic
growth and needs for the re­maining
sciences. A curriculum planning
committee was commissioned, and a three­person
team was appointed to participate
in the Keck FoundationlNational Science
Foundation Project Kaleidoscope - a
project which helps participants, nation­wide,
learn state-of-the-art practices in sci­ence
facility planning, design and con­struction.
The review revealed that the
Building project
c9~t: $6 million
existing science center at Saint John's could
not be renovated to meet current, much
less projected science program needs. A
two-phase solution emerged: construction
of a 42,000 square-foot building to serve as
the primary home for the biology depart­ment
and renovation of the existing Sci­ence
Center to house the computer science,
mathematics, physics, psychology and
field biology departments.
As a result of Project Kaleidoscope,
SaintJohn's retained the services of CSNA,
a Colorado Springs architectural firm
known for designing award-winning sci­ence
buildings, their ability to integrate
both the human and technological dimen­sions
into a facility and their sensitivity to
the Marcel Breuer architecture at Saint
John's. Working with the Twin Cities archi­tectural
firm Rafferty, Rafferty, Tollefson
and the San Diego laboratory consultant
firm, Research Facilities Design, CSNA
took on the task of designing a modern,
functional building and renovating the
existing Breuer-designed Science Center
according to industry standards and speci­fications.
"The new facilities were designed to al­leviate
over-crowding and safety concerns,
SAINT JOHN'S 2 AUTUMN 1998

to create hospitable spaces for students
and to take advantage of changes in scien­tific
pedagogy," commented Cheryl Knox,
dean of the college of arts and sciences
and the chair of the facilities planning
committee. "Science education is no longer
chalk and talk. Our curriculum is labora­tory
intensive and classrooms need to be
flexible working spaces to accommodate
small group discussion and a variety of
teaching styles. We were aiming to achieve
an open, welcoming environment for stu­dents
where learning and scientific discov­ery
can take place, where students want to
linger and hang-out and where students
can interact freely and frequently with fac­ulty
and their peers."
The science program at SaintJohn's and
Saint Benedict's benefits the community as
welL The colleges sponsor summer train­ing
programs for high school teachers and
mathematics and science camps for sec­ondary
students. Throughout the year,
Saint John's is host to field trips involving
students of all ages. The new science facili­ties
will enable the colleges to expand these
activities. The building will feature a mu­seum,
gathering space and classroom to
accommodate visitors and school groups
wishing to experience the great natural
environment right outside the building.
((The duality of scientific
discovery and student
education is the soul
of science."
John Mrachek '91
To fully appreciate the building's poten­tial,
a visitor must first be aware of its at­tributes.
The Hilger Entrance Hall of the
new building features the two-story
Theisen Pendulum, which demonstrates
the earth's rotation and gravitational pull;
a video display wall; a dome ceiling with
laser stars; and a gathering space for stu­dents
and visitors. Adjacent to the en­trance
hall is the natural history museum
- truly the past, present and future of
science all together in one complex.
The new science building also houses
state-of-the-art laboratories for biology,
microbiology, histology, molecular biology
and biochemistry, a faculty research lab
and a student research lab. Included with
the laboratories are new classrooms,
offices and biology department support
areas. These include a cold room, electronic
seminar room, incubator and a cell culture
space.
An enclosed hallway connects the new
science building to the existing Science
Center. The 32 year-old current building is
not about to be outdone by its new neigh­bor.
The Science Center went through a
major facelift of its own. The basement is
the primary location for the psychology
department - consisting of psychology
labs and classrooms, a state-of-the-art ani­mal
facility approved by the American As­sociation
for the Accreditation of Labora­tory
Animal Care, an electron microscope
suite and geology area.
The first floor houses the physics de­partment,
classrooms and labs, faculty of­fices,
electronic labs, a laser/optics room
and a radiation lab. Mathematics and com­puter
sciences occupy much of the second
floor with faculty offices and lounge, class­rooms
and labs, a student commons area
and an electronic classroom. The third
SAINT JOHN'S 3 AUTUMN 1998
floor provides additional space for biology:
a botany room, herbarium and classrooms
for genetics, anatomy, astronomy and ecol­ogy.
The results are impressive. After years
of careful planning, the new science build­ing
and its recently renovated neighbor
provide students with state-of-the-art fa­cilities
and equipment on a campus ideal
for scientific education and discovery.
John Mrachek, a surgical scientist for
Medtronic Inc. and '91 graduate of Saint
John's, perhaps says it best, "Saint John's
has set a standard of graduating high
quality students who possess advanced
scientific knowledge grounded in a thor­ough
liberal arts education. Its had the fac­ulty,
the students and the program - now
it has the facilities to enable it to sustain its
standard and its proud tradition."
The commitment to create the optimal
environment to foster scientific education,
while preserving a tradition that empha­sizes
the integration of the search for truth
and the search for God, as well as an un­derstanding
of the created world ... contin­ues.

SAINT JOHN'S 4 AUTUMN 1998
Instead of hangovers and killer tans,
their rewards are hugs, smiles and thank
yous.
Saint John's University and College of
Saint Benedict students are on spring
break this week. But while hordes of their
peers have headed for the traditional sun,
fun and party towns in Florida, Texas,
California and Mexico, more and more
SaintJohn's and Saint Benedict's students
are choosing alternative spring break sites.
Students volunteer their time, money
and talents to house the homeless, feed the
hungry, help disadvantaged children and
comfort victims of AIDS, drug abuse and
domestic violence.
"My first year, I had such a wonderful
experience," said Angie Wood, a senior
communication major from Stillwater
who's on her fourth alternative spring
break project this week. "The experience
was so rewarding, I thought next year I'd
try to be a student leader."
The Alternative Spring Break program,
started in 1985 with a single trip to Wash­ington,
D.c., now offers students a choice
of 18 week-long volunteering activities.
Helping Hands
Saint John's and Saint Benedict's stu­dents
will roll up their sleeves in a Head
Start program in Oklahoma, work with
AIDS patients in Utah, build homes for the
Habitat for Humanity at three sites across
the country, make Easter baskets for the
homeless in Denver and volunteer at soup
kitchens in Chicago and Pennsylvania.
This spring break, a record 247 student
participants and team leaders will volun­teer,
up from 205 last year.
"We have a waiting list of people," said
Wood. "Student interest is just phenom­enal."
Positive word of mouth about the fun
and value of the programs is the most ef­fective
method of advertising, said Chad
Bauer, a junior from Detroit Lakes major­ing
in theology, who with Wood is co-coor­dinator
of the project this spring.
"So many have had great experiences,"
Bauer said. "The rewards are being part of
a group of people who are making a dif­ference
in somebody's life."
Increased efforts
As the number of volunteers grows, so
does the number of projects. Alternative
spring break sites have increased from 14
to 20 in just a year.
What's more, students will pay to do it.
The average cost of an alternative
spring break is $240, ranging from a low
of $185 up to $400. The costs include
transportation, meals and lodging. Most
students end up sleeping on cots or sleep­ing
bags in local churches, to which they
also make a donation.
Those working at Habitat for Humanity
projects are asked to kick in an additional
$100 to help pay for construction materi­als.
To raise the money, students often so­licit
donations from their hometown
churches and service groups.
Getting involved
Student groups consist of 12 volunteers
-10 participants and two leaders, which
can be either students or faculty members.
About two-thirds of the volunteers are
women, Bauer estimated.
Only the serious need apply. Applica­tions
are accepted in October; then comes
the interview process and a financial com­mitment.
Student volunteers are "strongly encour­aged,"
Wood said, to attend a diversity

Frrst-year volunteers often choose a less
intense. first t:ip, such as a Habitat for
Hurnamty project. More experienced vol­unteers
will ta~kle the tougher assign­ments,
Bauer sal(i, such as working with
the homeless or AIDS victims.
"Habitat for Humanity is a low-risk
trip," Bauer said. "It's not that big of
• .c a
Jump lor people."
Wood agreed. "If they've done service .
the past, they like to break out and dill
something different. A lot of them ar~
drawn to different cultures."
Few complaints
Neither Wood or Bauer hear much guff
from their fellow students about how much
fun they're missing by not going an a tr _
ditional spring break. a
"I get a lot of respect for it," said Wood
"Friends always want to hear about it." .
Bauer agreed. "One of the biggest reason
people do this is to have fun. You'll Prob~
ably have more fun doing this than just
about anything else."
Parts of the journeys do sound like a
extended version of an "Animal House~
road trip. The volunteers will rent IS-pas-

senger cargo vans, then pack students and
all their gear inside for what could be a 36-
hour voyage.
"The friendships that are formed on
those trips are so special," said Wood.
Loyalty and learning
While students may treat the trips to
and from their destinations as larks, they
take their volunteer work seriously. Many
are from middle- and upper·middle class
families, Wood said, and this may be their
first exposure working with people less
fortunate than themselves.
"Watching students change, going
through the transition and seeing the
change of perspective is so rewarding,"
Wood said "I think it speaks very greatly
to the students' interests in serving."
(Right) Through the Community for Creative
Non-Violence, students march for peace in
Washington, D.C.
One of the biggest surprises student
volunteers sometimes experience is that
people are just people, no matter their race,
creed or economic condition, Wood said.
"I just expected them to be so different
from me and they're not," Wood said. "To
see them struggle and their hard work -
is very inspirationaL"

Have You Planned for Your Estate?
If you have planned for retirement, you
may have IRAs, invested funds, insurance
policies, and other valuable assets, which
constitute your financial estate. If you
work 40 hours a week, for 48 weeks a year,
for the 40 years between your 25th and
65th birthdays, you will have worked
76,800 hours to assemble this estate. How
many hours have you given to planning to
pass it on to those individuals and institu­tions
which you love?
Without planning, your estate may not
accomplish the good it could have. What
follows, are some commonly asked ques­tions
with brief responses. They are not
the final word on the subject. They are in­tended
to encourage you to think about the
importance of good estate planning for the
benefit of you, your spouse, your family
and the charitable institutions you care
about.
Q. Someone told me I could leave every­thing
to my spouse, without paying any
inheritance taxes. If that is so, why should
either of us worry now? Won't the survi­vor
have to work that out later?
A. If you leave the planning to the sur­viving
spouse you may have created a
problem which could have been avoided.
This is especially true if you have a tax­able
estate. Each of you has an exemption
from inheritance taxes. That exemption is
$625,000 this year and it will increase, un­der
present law, to $1 million within the
next few years. If you leave everything to
your spouse, there will be only one exemp­tion
remaining for him/her, and you may
have missed the opportunity to take ad­vantage
of your exemption.
by Gary E. Stoos
Director of Planned & Endowed Gifts
Q. I don't have such a large estate, so I
don't have to worry about estate tax, do I?
A. You may be surprised at the size of
your estate. In addition to your obvious
assets, consider the value of your retire·
ment accounts, and life insurance policies.
If life insurance is payable to your estate,
or you own insurance policies at your
death, the value of the insurance will be
included in your estate. This is also the
place to consider the value of assets owned
separately by your spouse, or other assets
you may inherit before your death. Don't
forget, in years of strong stock market
growth, your estate may grow faster than
you spend it, so your future estate may be
considerably larger simply as the result of
asset growth. However, you should do es­tate
planning even if you don't have a tax­able
estate. The case could be made that
planning is even more important when one
has limited financial resources. You don't
want to miss opportunities to maximize
the value you receive from your hard
earned cash.
Q. There are a lot of people out there
ready to help me decide what to do with
my money. How does one find a good es­tate-
planning professional who has my
best interests at heart?
A. Attorneys, financial planners, bank­ers,
insurance advisors, accountants,
stockbrokers, and others may be part of
your planning team. Sometimes getting
several of these professionals working to­gether
is most helpful. Interview potential
advisors before you choose them. You
might ask if they specialize in estate-plan­ning.
Ask what percentage of their time
they spend in estate planning, how they
are compensated, what mutual funds, in-
SAINT JOHN'S 7 AUTUMN 1998
surance, or other "product" they sell, if
any. Ask for references and check them
out.
Q. May I make charitable gifts within
my estate plan? If so, are they deductible?
A. There are charitable gifts you may
make now, while retaining a lifetime in­come
from them. Within your will, you
may make a charitable bequest. There are
charitable beneficiary opportunities with
your insurance policies and IRAs. When
the charitable gifts are planned as part of
a total estate plan, they can be structured
in ~ax-wise ways which benefit you, your
heITs, and the charitable institutions you
care about. Charitable gifts in your estate
are 100% deductible.
Further questions? Call the planned
giving office at SaintJohn's (1-800-635-7303
or 1-320-363-3113). We will be happy to
talk about the advantages of good estate
planning.
Correction: In the Spring Issue of the
joint Saint John's and College of Saint
Benedict magazine, the "Philanthropy
Page" contained a box showing a compari­son
of the cost a making an outright gift,
as opposed to making a gift of appreciated
stock. If one sold the appreciated stock,
and made a cash gift, the cost of the illus­trated
gift was $730. If one made a gift of
the stock, the cost would be $130 less, or
$600, because no capital gains tax was
paid. The illustration showed a $320 sav­ings,
incorrectly counting the capital gains
tax savings twice. Using appreciated stock
to make charitable gifts is a good deal, but
not that good a deal!
CSBISJU Faculty Receive
Top Teaching Awards
CSB and SJU recently presented Teacher
of Distinction Awards to Cynthia Curran,
assistant professor of history, and
Norman Ford, professor of biology, for
their work during the 1997-98 academic
year. The awards publicly celebrate the im­portance
of excellence in teaching at CSB
andSJU.
Ford received the Robert L. Spaeth
Teacher of Distinction Award. The award
is named in honor of Spaeth '59, who died
in 1994. He served as dean of the college
at SJU for nine years in addition to offering
lengthy terms of service as a professor of
liberal studies and director of Freshman
Symposium.
"His courses are among the most rigor­ous,
most challenging in the catalog -and
students flock to them," said Br. Dietrich
Reinhart, SJU president, in his comments
on Ford. ''Because of his finely crafted pre­sentations
and emphasis on critical
thought, many students consider Dr. Norm
Ford to be the finest professor of their un­dergraduate
careers."
Curran received the Sister Mary Grell
Teacher of Distinction Award. Grell
taught biology for 30 years beginning in
1933 and was CSB president from 1963-68.
She later served as superior of the depen­dent
priory of Saint Anselm's College in
Manchester, N.H., before her death in 1981.
"Cynthia Curran teaches students that
the study of others informs the study of
self, that inquiry into the past informs the
critical reading of the present age and the
direction of the future," said CSB President
Mary E. Lyons in making her presentation
to Curran. "She invites students to see that
objects in the mirror of history are closer
than they appear."
CSB and SJU also presented Advising
Awards to faculty in each of the colleges'
four divisions for outstanding work in
advising students during 1997-98. The re­cipients
are: Cynthia Malone, associate
professor of English, and Chris Freeman,
assistant professor of English, humanities
division; Dee Lamb, professor of educa­tion,
and Phil Kronebusch '81, assistant
professor of political science, social sci­ences
division; Joan Wilcox, associate pro­fessor
of nursing, and Kate Graham, assis­tant
professor of chemistry, natural sci­ences
division; and Carolyn Finley, associ­ate
professor of music, and Kim Kasling,
professor of music, fine arts division.
Faculty receiving promotion to the rank
of professor were Margaret Hughes, physi­cal
education; Tim Robinson, philosophy;
Tom Sibley, mathematics; Kathy Twohy,
nursing; Diane Veale Jones, nutrition; and
Kay Wolsborn, political science.
One faculty member received a promo­tion
to the rank of associate professor was
S. Mara Faulkner, OSB, English.
Faculty receiving tenure and promotion
to the rank of associate professor were Jeff
Anderson '86, peace studies; Jennifer
Galovich, mathematics; Camilla Krone,
French; Kronebusch; Linda Lierheimer,
history; and Vincent Smiles, theology.
Reinhart appointed professors Ford, biol­ogy,
and Len Valley '55, physics, to the
rank of professor emeritus.
Other CSB/SJU faculty members retir­ing
included Lee Kohs, assistant professor
of education, and S. Shaun O'Meara, OSB,
associate professor of theology.
Lyons appointed Angeline Dufner, En­glish,
and S. Emmanuel Renner, OSB, his­tory,
to the rank of professor emerita; and
Gordon Goetemann, art, to professor
emeritus.
Lyons also appointed S. Kristin Malloy,
OSB, associate professor of English; Sally
Melton, instructor of English; and S. Sheila
Rausch, OSB, professor of English, to the
rank of professor alumna.
Award to Honor Jonathan Kozol
Seeking to honor those who recognize
and strive to advance the human dignity
of all persons, Saint John's School of The­ology
and Seminary has established The
Dignitas Humana Award. Recipients of
the award, which was made possible by a
generous gift from friends of the univer-
SAINT JOHN'S 8 AUTUMN 1998
sity, exemplify the Judeo-Christian values
of service, kindness and compassion.
The inaugural award will be presented
to Jonathan Kozol, author, educator and
social activist, on November 18, 1998, in
Collegeville. Kozol has said that in addition
to making people more aware of society's
inequities, he writes so that people may
question their consciences. ''1 write because
I want to make something different in the
world." Of his most recent book, Amazing
Grace, he stated, "If there are amazing
graces on this earth, I believe they are these
good children sent to us by God and not yet
soiled by the knowledge that their nation
does not love them."
Alumni and friends are invited to attend
the award ceremony and lecture, which is
free and open to the public, on November
18 at Saint John's Abbey Church. Saint
John's will also be co-hosting a community
breakfast in Central Minnesota with
Catholic Charities of St. Cloud on Novem­ber
19 and a panel presentation and lun­cheon
in Minneapolis with the Archdio­cese
of St. Paul and Minneapolis on No­vember
20. More information about this
unique event can be obtained through
Saint John's School of Theology and Semi­nary.
TargetlDayton Hudson Funds
Art Works Programs at SJU
SJU received a $25,000 grant from the
TargetlDayton Hudson Foundation to sup­port
visual arts education programs for
children in conjunction with exhibitions in
the Dayton-Hudson Gallery at SJU's Arts
Center. Previously funded as a summer
program, the arts education initiative now
begins in the summer and extends
throughout the entire year, providing out­reach
activities for all exhibitions in the
Dayton Hudson Gallery.
''We were delighted to receive this fund­ing,"
said Deborah Lehman, director of
community outreach at SJU. "It allows us
to greatly expand outreach to children
through the visual arts. We will also be
able to provide curriculum materials for

ordinary and sometimes quite re­markable
group of men who have given
me much support and encouragement in
this job."

"What Role Should Religion Have
in Public Life?" in ApriL
Sophomore Deborah Saad, theater ma­jor
and theology minor, attended with
Johnston, and junior Matt Wiisanen, natu­ral
science major, attended with Wolfe.
The symposium brought together an
impressive group of 100 Minnesotans
from a variety of professional and per­sonal
backgrounds. Johnston was one of
10 invited participants representing the
arts and Wolfe was one of eight represent­ing
health care. Other areas represented
included business; education; government;
law; media; non-profits and foundations;
public relations, advertising and polling;
and religion. The symposium was chaired
by Martin Marty, renowned University of
Chicago theologian who also presented a
speech aired live on MPR.
Sessions included a Socratic dialogue

small group discussions.
The day ended with each field reporting
their conclusions back to the larger group.
This symposium represents Minne­sota's
contribution to the Public Religion

dialogue on the status of religion in pub­lic
life in America. The project, conducted
under Marty's direction, is funded in full
by the Pew Charitable Trust.
HMML Receives
Two Large Grants
The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library
recently received two gifts in support of its
programs and endowment.
The Athwin Foundation of Minneapo­lis
awarded $30,000 for the Center for Aus­trian/
German Medieval Studies at HMML.
It will support the position of cataloguer
of the center at a time when HMML works
toward a permanent endowment for the
center and its cataloguer, Belinda Egan.
''We are particularly pleased with this gen­erous
support, since the development of
the Austrian/German Center will be one of
our highest priorities in coming years,"
said Fr. Eric Hollas, OSB, director of
HMML.
HMML also reported a contribution to
The Fred and Rose Gonyea Book Fund,
which was established by Lorraine
Stewart of St. Paul in memory of her par­ents.
The Gonyea Book Fund now stands
at nearly $100,000. It is designated to fund
the acquisitions of bibliographic materials
at HMML. "Within North America,
HMML has one of the finest collections of
manuscript catalogues and materials relat­ing
to the history of manuscripts. The
Fred and Rose Gonyea Fund will help to
maintain the continued growth of that
collection in the years to come," said Hollas.
Saint John's Swimming
and Diving Coach
Announces Retirement
Pat Haws '72 retired as the head swim­ming
and diving coach at SjU. Haws will
remain as the university's head soccer
coach and has assumed additional duties
managing facilities and promotions for the
athletic department.
Haws spent 25 seasons as the Johnnies'
head swimming and diving coach, compil­ing
a 152-94 career dual meet record and
a 93-46 MIAC dual meet record. The found­ing
force behind SjU's swimming and div­ing
program, Haws has been SjU's only
swimming and diving coach. Haws has
helped establish SjU as a competitive force
in the MIAC and at the NCAA Division III
level. The Johnnies have only one finish
outside of the top three in 25 years at the
MIAC meet and have qualified swimmers
for the national meet 24 times since 1973-74.
Individually, Haws has coached 56 indi­vidual
and 10 relay MIAC champions dur­ing
his tenure. At the NCAA level, SjU has
had 106 national qualifiers along with 43
All-America athletes in the team's
recordbook. In 1991, John Deters became
SjU's first NCAA Division III champion in
one-meter diving.

the Johnnies' head soccer coach for the
past 20 seasons with a 213-69-33 career
record. His soccer teams have won MIAC
crowns in 1979, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1988 and
1989.
SAINT JOHN'S 11 AUTUMN 1998
The date for Homecoming each fall de­pends
on two schedules: Saint John's home
football games and Minnesota's duck hunt­ing
opener. Homecoming and the class re­unions
are generally conducted on the last
Saturday of September (good for the hunt­ers)
or the first Saturday of October (bad
for the ducks). Because of a change dic­tated
by the Minnesota Intercollegiate Ath­letic
Conference, the football schedule was
changed this fall and thus, Homecoming
will be the second Saturday of October, the
weekend of the 9th-11th (not so good for
Bethel). Hundreds of alumni and thou­sands
of guests are expected at Clemens
Stadium - and lots of other places on
campus that Saturday.
In addition to the football game against
the Royals, the agenda for the day is
packed with a variety of events. The Ac­tivities
Committee of the SJU Alumni As­sociation
Board of Directors and different
departments of the University have been
building the itinerary in recent years.
There is something for everyone. (See full
schedule, registration form on the follow­ingpages.)
The Alumni Board, along with several
student groups, have made the "Taste of
the Saints" a tradition. Held during the
morning outside the lower level of Mary
Hall and near the registration tables in
Sexton Commons, the "Taste of the
Saints" provides visitors with a flavor of
Saint John's and the College of Saint
Benedict at a number of information
booths. The Alumni Board will conduct a
drawing for a new Saint John's ring as a
new wrinkle at the event.
The Alumni Association brunch in the
Old Gym is open to all with members of
the reunion classes and their guests sitting
together and then posing for reunion pho­tographs.
Many alumni who have not been on
campus in recent months will be able to
check out the renovated Warner Palaestra
and the new McNeely Spectrum
by Thorn Woodward '70
Director of Alumni Relations
fieldhouse. The new science building will
be showcased at an open house. Veterans
of Benet Hall might want to wander
through the ground floor to see the reno­vation
there (as well as on the third and
fourth floors).
The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library
will again offer their popular fall festivaL
The art gallery will feature "Theater of
Machines." Visitors to the pottery studio
can get a tour and do some shopping. The
bookstore will have the latest in Johnnie­ware.
Students in Virgil Michel House will
also have their annual open house. The
second annual fun run will be conducted
in the morning. Tours and a brief lecture
will be available at the wetlands/arbore­tum
where there is a new information
kiosk.
A reception and pig roast will follow the
football game.
As always, the Pine Curtain will be open
for nature walks.
Mrachek to receive
Fr. Walter Award
A former Alumni Association president
who has never lost his zeal to volunteer for
Saint John's University projects will be
given the Fr. Walter Reger Distinguished
Alutnnus Award at the annual Homecom­ing
banquet on Friday, Oct. 9. Len Mrachek
'58 will be the 28th recipient of the Reger
Award.
The SJU distinguished alumnus award
is named for the long-time secretary of the
Alunmi Association who died in 1971. Fr.
Walter was known to generations of
Johnnies as "Mr. Saint John's" for his tire­less
efforts as history professor, prefect,
musician and purveyor of Johnnie Bread.
Each year, the Alumni Association Board
of Directors seeks to recall Fr. Walter and
to recognize one alumnus who has had a
history of outstanding service to Saint
John's.
More than $6,000 was raised for the Mike Augustin '62 Scholarship at a golf outing at The Wilds
in Chaska on May 26. Among the golfers were (from left) Mark Young '85, Jim Mohs '68, Ryan
Rubischko '98 and Joe Mullen '68. Jay Bartkowski '87 of the CPA firm of Lund Kohler Kox
helped sponsor the event; many other alumni and friends of the late st. Paul Pioneer Press
sports writer pitched in to support the project.
SAINT JOHN'S 12 AUTUMN 1998
Mrachek served as Alumni Association
president 1989-90. Even though his three­year
term was complete, he knew the
Alumni Asso­ciation
consti­tution
allowed
for a second
term and he
took it. He is
immediate
past president
of the ]-Club
(serving on the
]-Club Board Mrachek '58
of Directors
1992-98) and is
a co-agent for his class which is celebrat­ing
its 40-year reunion at Homecoming.
Mrachek is also a phonothon volunteer
and in attendance at most Twin Cities
Chapter events.
One of his first efforts to organize an
alunmi gathering came in the early 1960s.
Mrachek wrote to the Alumni Office for a
list of New York City-area alumni so he
could invite them to his wedding at St.
Patrick's CathedraL
Proud to be a Johnnie, he is equally
proud that all of his and Kay's children
have graduated from SaintJohn's Gohn '91)
and Saint Benedict's Gacqueline '86, Susan
'88, Angella '92 and Medora '97).
Johnnies from the Class of '60 celebrated
their "golden" birthday - the big Six-Oh -

SAINT JOHN'S 13 AUTUMN 1998
Class of '98 is 'e-ternally' linked
Members of the SaintJohn's University
Class of 1998 can take advantage of the
Internet to stay in touch with one another.
Through the efforts of the SjU Alumni
Association Communications Committee
and the SjU/CSB Information Technology
Services, the recent graduates are "e­Ternally
Connected."
"e-Ternally Connected" is the name of
the project announced at the Senior Ban­quet
which gives classmates an e-mail for­warding
address at Saint John's. Members
of the Class of '98 at both SJU and the
College of Saint Benedict can reach one
another by sending an e-mail message to
the persons name followed by
1998@csbsju.edu. Classmates must acti­vate
the system, however, by contacting
Information Technology Services with a
current e-mail address. E-mail will then be
sent through the campus computer to the
new address.
"We are very excited about the pros­pects
of staying in touch with future
alumni," Bill Farmer '69, committee vice
president said. "If the Class of '98 gets
behind the project and activates their ac­counts
on campus, as we expect they will,
then we can expand 'e-Ternally Connected'
to other alumni."
Members of the Class of '98 received the
"e-Ternally Connected" e-mail address for
all their classmates in the "Graduating
Seniors Handbook" presented to them at
the banquet.
Alumni Board offers
insurance seminar
Twenty alumni in the insurance indus­try
participated in the second annual
Alumni Professionals Day on campus on
June 12. The seminar follows the example
set last year by former SjU and College of
Saint Benedict students in the legal profes­sion.
This year the lawyers met at CSB and
the two groups joined for a networking
social in the late afternoon.
The insurance professionals who at­tended
earned continuing education cred­its
at sessions offered by alumni. A key­note
message was given by Dave Gruenes
'80, commissioner of the Minnesota De­partment
of Commerce who discussed the
state of the industry. Other faculty mem­bers
included Tom Underbrink '81, Mark
Schmitz '77, Peter Seltz '89 and Tom
Colaizy '71.
Alumni interested in on-campus con­tinuing
education programs for their field
next spring are encouraged to contact Karl
Baltes '88, vice president of the Alumni
Association Board of Directors Activity
Committee.
Ibes to celebrate
recital anniversary
On Nov. 22, 1948, a new Saint John's
University student from Holland joined
Saint John's orchestra in his first perfor­mance
at the piano in Collegeville. Fifty
years later, Willem Ibes, now a professor of
music on the SjU/CSB faculty, will return
to the stage in the Stephen B. Humphrey
Theater to repeat the concert, again on
Nov. 22, the feast of St. Cecilia, the patron
saint of music.
Sally Jo and Jeff Baumgartner '73 and
his St. Cloud Piper J affray office will spon­sor
the fiftieth anniversary performance
along with the SjU Alumni Association
and the joint Central Minnesota Chapter.
Phil Welter '58, Ibes' colleague in the mu­sic
department, is helping to arrange for
the orchestra.
Ibes hopes that Johnnies attending his
initial performance will be able to return
for the "encore."
Alumni directory
to include e-mail
E-mail addresses will be included in the
next Saint John's University alumni direc­tory
to be published in June. The SJU
Alumni Association has not offered a full
directory since 1990. The new book will
include name, home address and phone as
well as business title, address and phone
plus e-mail address.
''More and more alumni are using elec­tronic
forms of communication," com­mented
Thom Woodward '70, director of
alumni relations. ''We have hundreds of e­mail
addresses on our data base now but
national statistics would indicate that as
many as 8,000 of our 23,000 alumni have
e-maiL We need to link them together and
link them to SaintJohn's electronically."
Alumni will receive two mailings from
the directory publisher, Publishing Con­cepts,
Inc.
The survey mailings will incorporate
biographical data off the SjU computer.
Alumni will have the opportunity to cor­rect
data and to add information. The sur­vey
will also include an order blank for a
softbound edition of the directory, a
hardbound copy and/or a CD-Rom version.
"I hope that alumni will take advantage
of this offer," Woodward added. ''And, 1
hope they will take a few minutes to com­plete
the survey so our records can be ac­curate.
The new directory will be a handy
tool for staying in touch with friends from
SaintJohn's but it all depends on up-to-date
information."

Alaska in the summer of 2000.
Bruce and Suzie Gooding rounded up
Chris Hitchcock, Fr. Jim Suntum, Bill
Caldwell and other friends for the first ven­ture.
They are organizing a family-ori­ented
cruise with options to suit a variety
of budgets. Costs and itinerary will be
determined based on the amount of inter­est
expressed in the excursion.
"Right now we are getting together
names, addresses - home and e-mail­and
phone numbers for interested alumni,"
the Goodings report. "There is no obliga­tion
by being on our mailing list but it
would be very helpful to know who might
consider joining in. We want to provide
plenty of lead time for alumni to schedule
and plan their vacations - and to have
time to contact our Saint John's friends to
encourage their participation."
For more information and to be place on
the mailing list, contact Gooding at
