September 3, 2009 New Chemistry department instrument will help students and profs probe world of the atom It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. But to the students and professors gathered around it – or, more accurately, the computer that transmits readouts from it, the machine is pure magic. It is called a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, or NMR. Today, the students from Professor Neal Yakelis’ organic chemistry lab are trying to figure out the structure of an unknown

208 Garfield offers so much more than coffee, from something to snack on to a drink at the end of the day. (Photos by John Froschauer) 208 Garfield, much more than a coffee shop By Chris Albert There’s a new flavor to Garfield Street at…
. “That was done very deliberately when we were creating the menu,” McGinnis said. “We wanted to create amazing dishes using simple local ingredients.” Coffee and those morning pastries (thanks to the PLU bakery) are still on the menu and the coffee is provided by Valhalla in North Tacoma, with selections like Organic Viking and Valkyrie blends. It should fit nicely with the Scandinavian Shop in the Garfield Book Company. But 208 Garfield is so much more than a coffee shop. The name will become

Erin Madden, Senior Capstone Seminar There is a discrepancy in the literature whether porous carbon electrodes store more electrochemical capacitance with a disordered or an ordered pore design.
Deoxyribonucleic AcidLuke Latimer, Senior Capstone Seminar Matrix assisted poling is a promising technique for improving acentric ordering of chromophores in organic non-linear optical (NLO) materials. The possibility of deoxyribonucleic acid functioning as an effective host material for enhancing acentric ordering by dye intercalation between base pairs is investigated. A dye, LL-1, which is predicted to intercalate and have moderate NLO activity, was synthesized. Through UV-Vis spectroscopy, it was

Have you ever wondered how the ocean’s tiniest inhabitants play a significant role in shaping our world? Marine microorganisms, minuscule life forms, wield a vital influence over our planet’s climate. They manage crucial components like carbon and oxygen within the vast oceans and the atmosphere.…

Liebert added that the São Paulo do people use a more sustainable form of transportation: the metro, or subway as it’s more commonly termed in the United States. The Northwest is slowly following suit, with Portland, Ore., embracing its extensive light rail system. Seattle is beginning to take mass transit seriously and

Why eating at PLU is not your typical college dining experience By Chris Albert At PLU, eating isn’t just a cafeteria experience of hot dogs and French fries. You can get those too, but not every college dining experience also includes menu items like Korean…
relationship with the students, and find out the food they eat and the food they want. Are there sustainable choices, including local and organic options? Can students find ways to make some of the same dishes in a cost-effective manner in their residence hall? And then there’s this: Is there an opportunity to educate students about their eating experiences? (PLU is all about education, after all.) For instance, each year as part of “Culinary Week,” Certified Master Chef Ken Arnone (and instructor at the

Best Foot Forward By Kari Plog ’11 When first-year students came to campus for orientation weekend this past September, organizers made sure that, on that first Saturday, those students were promptly sent off campus. About a dozen first-year students rolled up their sleeves and got…
agencies. Another group took part in a habitat restoration project on the PLU campus. Another trip introduced first-year students to PLU’s own community garden, which donates organic vegetables to members of the Parkland community. Kirk Rose, one of the employees for Left Foot, said he learned about the spirit of service while in college, and it was his love of volunteering and his farming background that brought him to Left Foot about a year ago. Trips to places like Left Foot encourage students to
