& Thursday, 1pm – 3pm These are test pieces and examples for our new glaze library. The thing with ceramics is that drawing, throwing, and trimming, is only 50 percent of the work, the other half is glazing and firing, which is also the most difficult. You spend all that time making pots or sculptures or whatever it is, and if you never thought about surface color and finish, or tested the glaze in the first place, you can very easily ruin your work. Unfortunately you will have wasted all that initial

work investigates a rarely considered yet critical dimension of anti-Semitism that was instrumental in the conception and perpetration of the Holocaust: the association of Jews with criminality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZPatgrXO8w Drawing from a rich body of documentary evidence, including memoirs and little-studied photographs, Michael Berkowitz traces the myths and realities pertinent to the discourse on “Jewish criminality” from the eighteenth century through the Weimar Republic, into the

is also something Gray does as the opportunity arises. He has received really positive feedback from students and it has allowed him to sharpen his understanding of his craft. As part of that, Gray recently started a figure drawing class which he attends with other artists every Thursday night. Together, Gray and Frances Buckmaster, an artist from Puyallup, hire a live model to come in for them and about 20 other artists to paint for mostly fun, but also to practice their skills. Gray’s

This method aims to expand students’ perspectives on sacred space and religious reality. MariHa Casas shows her creation. PLU students participate in

there may be very few pieces of music composed for a harpsichord with pedals, the value of a harpsichord as a practice instrument cannot be overlooked. Before widespread use of electricity, practicing on an organ in a drafty church in winter really wasn’t very fun or practical. Harpsichords, a stringed instrument requiring no moving air, could live comfortably indoors in a parlor or drawing room, allowing ample time for practice. PLU students will be able to play this harpsichord to master their

scholarship. These talks, intended to be published as a collection of essays, allowed each speaker to review his or her own place in the field. Bob spoke on “Pastors and Professors: Assessing Complicity and Unfolding Complexity,” drawing upon his recent book, Complicity in the Holocaust: Churches and Universities in Nazi Germany (Cambridge, 2012). Ericksen’s connections with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC continued in 2012. He is Chair of the Committee on Ethics, Religion and the

Technology, where, this year Duffy, Madeline and Matthew listened to the Vines for six hours straight and danced through the halls into the wee hours of the morning. A pivotal moment came early on the third day. After drawing up blueprints for an algorithm—which Matthew said they “lovingly” called the Optimal Node Interconnected Objectives Network, or ONION for short—they waited and watched as the code they had staked their entire paper on refused to run. They put sad music on and took a nap. When they
