Clements, University Communications Editor’s Note: Maria Altmann’s son, Peter, will tell the full story of his mother’s attempts to retrieve the stolen artwork this Thursday, Nov. 15, when he will be the keynote speaker at the Holocaust Conference Fall Lecture. The lecture begins at 7 p.m. in the Scandinavian Cultural Center and is free and open to the public. Ferdinand Bloch Bauer had two great passions: his wife and great artists. So it seemed natural, as a wealthy Austrian businessman and patron of

marriage equality, or even equal rights. He only posited that all Americans are devoted to their country, an assertion that the vast majority in attendance seemed to find contemptible. And though the group of Lutes, a recently out queer woman among them, initially planned to spend the morning as “neutral observers,” this was the moment their final embers of neutrality faded away. Registration for PLU’s Washington, D.C., J-Term course was at capacity by the end of October, highlighted by tickets to the

lecture presented arguments from Halvorson’s most recent book, Code Nation: Personal Computing and the Learn to Program Movement in America (2020). It can be viewed now on PLU’s YouTube Channel, at https://youtu.be/mqsrEYMwR6w. Code Nation is a five-year research project that grew out of Halvorson’s work with the Innovation Studies program and his duties as Benson Family Chair of Business and Economic History at PLU. The book explores the business and technical history of computer programming in

suspect sources. Yet students honestly believe they understand the ethics of using sources and feel they know exactly where to find credible information. Faculty wonder, “Didn’t they learn this in high school?” The PLU librarians have been exploring these divides through quantitative and qualitative research studies that examine student research confidence and experiences. We hope to better understand our students in order to serve them better. We also hope faculty can use our data to more effectively

ensure that our present way of life leaves the world a better place for all.

For example, Associate Professor of English Rona Kaufman, her husband, and their daughter Juniper built community in their neighborhood. Juniper had the idea to share eggs laid by the family’s chickens with neighbors, and started leaving them on a stand at the end of the driveway
