Be nice to your Mother
Environmental groups take on Earth Week
By PAIGE OSBURN
Most people don’t think about
plastic spoons.
Then there are Anthony
Alfano and Maggie Nelson who
are the co-creators and two-
headed chair of the Student
Government Association (SGA)-
driven Environmental Concerns
Committee (ECC). They have
both used their positions in SGA
to pursue a different passion—
environmental sustainability. And
Earth Week is just the beginning.
“Earth Week is kind of
our spearhead, the first round
of introducing this idea of
sustainability to DePaul,” Nelson
said. “Our hope is to start that
conversation between students.
There’s really never been this
before, these big events really
targeting sustainability,” she said.
“This is a great chance to get
together people from all over the
board and say, ‘Hey, people are
talking about this—you should
talk about it too.’”
The list of upcoming events
includes Monday's Earth Fair
(with booths from both local

Each year the President's Office puts aside money to Thursday’s Environmental
to be used toward environmental sustainability. This Service Day (cleaning up
community parks) to next
year the Student Government Association chose to Monday’s lecture and student
install solar panels. Above: Students lounge on the reception with world-renowned
grass near the solar panels. Ecologist, David Orr.
Environmental programs have
also joined forces with World
Catholicism Week, hosting
panel discussions with titles like
“Integrity of Creation” (Friday)
and “Charity in Truth and the
New Face of Social Progress”
(Wednesday).
“DePaul is a Vincentian
institution; it fits into our
mission, it should be our calling,”
said Dr. Barbara Willard, a
member of the Sustainability
Initiatives Task Force (SITF), an
organizer for Earth Week and a
Communications professor.
“As a major private university,
as one of the largest Catholic
institutions in the country, as an
international center in a major
urban environment—we see
ourselves as an ideal institute for
functioning as an agent for real
change,” she said.
The preparations for Earth
Week have spanned over a year
and include events sponsored by
the ECC; the SITF; the Institute
of Nature and Culture and the
Center for World Catholicism and
Intercultural Theology.
“It’s the 40th anniversary of
Earth Day,” Willard said. “It just
seems like a prime time to get it
out there, in a number of different
venues. Make sustainability a
part of every day at DePaul—
across the curriculum, across the
community. What we’re really
hoping to do is make it a bigger
presence on DePaul than it’s ever
been,” she said.
This idea of cross-college
interest also strikes a chord with
Nelson and Alfano.
“Anthony’s a political science
major and I’m communications
studies,” Nelson said. “We aren’t
science students, and we can still
make this happen. Sustainability
is more than a science thing—it’s
an ethical, moral, sustainable way
of thinking.”
Alfano agreed. “Sustainability
reaches across all majors,
programs, colleges,” he said. “The
initiatives that the University
is taking with LEED buildings
and the new master plan—it just
shows that what we had 10, 50,
100 years ago will not work even
50 years from now. It’s realizing
that this one little thing that you
do affects that, which affects
that, which affects that…it never
stops. It just keeps going.”
“When you throw a plastic
spoon on the ground, it stays
there forever,” Nelson said. “It’s
realizing that. It’s thinking about
something that’s bigger than
yourself.”

Week events, go to http://las.

the better the rating, the less DePaul
needs to focus its initiatives in that area.
The system itself is called Sustainability
Tracking, Assessment and Rating System
and was developed by the Association for
the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education.
“I’m an auditor,” said Dhanda. “I give
you the math.”
Before any of the plan falls into place,
SITF wants to sit down with DePaul at large
and “hash things out.”
“My thing is just to foster a University-
wide conversation,” said Montgomery.
“We tend to be in silos—Liberal Arts and
Sciences in a silo, Law in a silo, Commerce,
Business. Sustainability can be a magnet that
pulls us out of our silos. Who’s doing things
about this? Who wants to do things? This is
actually a real ground swell—if my inbox is
any indication.”
While it has nine official members, SITF
is the product of all walks of life—from the
College of Commerce to Facility Operations,
from the SGA to public relations.
Dr. J. Harry Wray, a political science
professor who has also been instrumental in
getting the word out about upcoming Earth
Week activities, sums it up best.
“I also happen to be a human being,”
he said. “Or, let me be more clear: I have
children. I think anyone who has children
should be interested in the direction that
we’re heading in.”
No one in the task force predicts this will
be easy.
“It’s hard to find out how many people
are interested,” said Barbara Willard, an
associate professor of communications and
a member of the task force. “Especially in

a campus of this size. We’ve already hosted
more meetings than any committee I’ve ever
belonged to and we’ve been talking since…
what, spring 2009?”
“It’s a pretty intense goal,” said
Montgomery. “I think that reflects my
personality. What we’re trying to do is
merge disparate ideas about sustainability—
about what sustainability even is. I’m just
hoping it doesn’t end up like the health care
debate.”
SITF is hoping to begin running open-
forum workshops in May. Students with
an interest in joining a workgroup—to
help study sustainability in Curriculum,
Operations, Research or (community)
Engagement—should attend that section’s
orientation (dates pending). In the meantime,
task force members encourage students to
contact any of them with names, contact info
and any ideas about where the task force can
go from here.

although air travel “generated two to three times more CO2 per
participant-mile than land transportation”)
 McGowen II Science Center, with its LEED Gold designation
and energy efficient design, consumes 25% less electrical
energy and 50% less natural gas than other DePaul buildings.
 Assuming DePaul continues with pre-2001 practices, our
carbon footprint will hit 65,000 metric tons of CO2 by 2025.
But, if we continue with our post-2001 sustainable policies—
and implement the strategies proposed by the task force—
we’re expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.
This would result in a carbon footprint half the size.

Walking for a cause:
Relay for Life comes to DePaul
By ALEX SOULIER
Last Monday, members of Colleges
Against Cancer (CAC) collected donations
and encouraged students to sign up for the
upcoming Relay for Life. The theme this
year is “Decades” and will take place on
April 30 on the track at the Ray Meyer
Fitness and Recreation Center.
“You will be pressed to find people who
don’t know someone who has suffered
from cancer,” said Elyse Siwinski, public
relations chairman for Relay. “It may
have been a loved one or maybe just an
acquaintance, but either way it is a very
pressing issue in our society.”
The CAC team gave students the
opportunity to create personalized
stickers in remembrance of friends or
family members affected by cancer. The
commemorative labels will be transformed
into a banner that will hang during Relay
for Life.
“We raised nearly 60 dollars,” said
Siwinski about their efforts on Monday.
“It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s
very promising considering most of the
donations were one dollar or less.”
Similarly, 76 student-led teams are
registered to participate in Relay and have
started to raise money.
Siwinski is especially enthused to see
the amplified freshman participation,

exclaiming it’s the most in her three years
at DePaul.
“Fraternities and sororities are huge
Relay for Life advocates and consistently
have strong showings,” said Siwinski.
“But, I’ve never seen more freshmen
support than there is this year. So far,
several of the top grossing teams are
comprised of freshmen.”
Additionally, other Blue Demon
organizations are gearing up for the
overnight fundraiser. President of DePaul’s
Student Government Association (SGA)
Dillon Goodson emphasizes both the fiscal
and communal importance of Relay.
“The money that Relay for Life
and CAC raise cannot be overlooked,”
said Goodson. “But, it is also a great
opportunity to get involved and take
initiative in the Lincoln Park and greater
Chicago community.”
As a central motivating philosophy, the
committee hopes the event will generate
$84,000 in donations, a $12,000 increase
from 2009. All proceeds will be donated to
the American Cancer Society.
If DePaul Relay meets its goal, the Blue
Demons would assume the number 9 slot
on the list of top earning universities in
the U.S.
But, no matter the region or participants,
Relay for Life is more than dollars, cents
and bragging rights.  loved ones who have battled against
Since 1985, Relay for Life has been a
celebration of life. The event symbolizes
the hope that individuals lost to cancer will
never be forgotten, that those who face
cancer will be supported and that someday
cancer will be eliminated.
“Luminaria,” a CAC led remembrance
ceremony, honors people who have been
touched by cancer and recalls loved ones
lost to the disease. During Luminaria,
participants walk a lap in silence while
candles are lit inside bags filled with sand,
each one bearing the name of a person
touched by cancer.

of Relay for Life
“Luminaria is by far my favorite
part of Relay for Life,” said CAC board
member Abigail Best. “I always think of
my aunt Kirsten Lawler who lost her life
to cancer a couple years ago. I can’t help
but cry during Luminaria; but I’m crying
in remembrance of her, the life she led and
her legacy that will always live on. It is a
very touching moment.” 
Best and Siwinski solemnly confirmed
that many of the CAC board members,
as well as a handful of participants, know
cancer.
“I lost my grandmother to ovarian
cancer my freshman year of high school,”
Siwinski said. “That was the first time in
my life that I experienced somebody dying
from cancer and I cannot even begin to
explain how difficult it was to watch your
loved one slowly pass away.” She went on
to say, “I felt completely helpless then, and
not a day passes that I don’t think about her
or brainstorm ideas to cherish her life. This
year’s Relay—like the past two I’ve been
involved with—is a time to remember and
celebrate my Grandma’s life.”

Corcoran Hall gets a makeover

Crime on campus: Self-defense meeting
teaches students ways to stay alert
By LISA FRANKLIN
Knowledge is power and
awareness is the key to survival.
Those messages are strongly
instilled in the small group of
students that attended the latest
Chicago Alternatives Policing
Strategy (CAPS) meeting on the
Lincoln Park campus.
DePaul’s Public Safety
coordinated with the Chicago
Police Department (CPD) to
bring an informative meeting
to campus each quarter about
safety awareness. The meeting
Thursday began with an open
forum reviewing local crime
statistics, emphasizing areas of
concern, citizen questions and
suggestions for improvement.
Time was left toward the end
for a mini “class” in self-defense
technique led by Jose Zuniga,
a Chicago police officer of 27
years and martial artist who has
taught self-defense classes for
20 years.
“Theft among unattended
items is the biggest problem at
DePaul,” said Bob Wachowski,
director of Public Safety.
Students leave their
possessions unattended for
various reasons and then find
their property missing upon
their return. A popular example
given is of students leaving their
bags while going to purchase
meals. Backpacks, laptops and
other “shiny” items are described
as being things that catch the
attention of criminal eyes.
“It only takes approximately
three seconds to [steal] things so
take your bags with you,” said
Chris Schenk, a CPD officer and
CAPS officer for four years.
Another issue of concern is
students out late at night having
to return home. Late night
commuting is heavier on the
weekends when students are out.
“When you go out at night, try
not to walk alone,” Schenk said.
“If you are alone, grab a cab.
If there aren’t cabs, walk only
in well-lit areas. Never walk in
alleys, even if they appear well-
lit.”
Schenk said that although a
certain way home may appear
more convenient or timely,
taking the safest route possible
is the best option. In case of an
emergency, knowing the area is
important.
“Know where [the] nearest
local police station, fire stations
and hospitals are located,” he
said. These areas are staffed 24
hours a day and always have
people around.
“Another place that always has
people is the resident halls where
there are staffed front desks,”
Wachowski said.
While walking alone at night,
it is encouraged to stay aware
of surroundings and remove
distractions such as cell phone
use. Cell phones users tend to
block their peripheral view and
give others the opportunity to
sneak up on them. During times
when cell phone use is pertinent,
Schenk advises to inform the
person you are speaking with
of your location throughout the
conversation.
“I don’t want you to be a
statistic,” said Zuniga, 52, to
students in attendance prior to
his self-defense demonstration.
“If you say survive, you will
survive. Don’t allow yourself to
be a victim. ”
Zuniga emphasized the
importance of awareness and
body language. According to him,

meeting in the Lincoln Park Student Center atrium.
most people are attacked because
they are not paying attention to
their surroundings and look like
easy targets.
“We live in a world where
people will hurt you for no
reason. I don’t advocate violence.
I teach defense, not offense,” he
said.
Size is shown as not being
a factor for self-defense, which
Zuniga demonstrated with a
student who stood taller than
him. With a small movement of
his wrist, the tall male attacker
toppled over backwards. “It is not
about force, but technique.”
Britney MacDonald, a junior,
said that some of the behaviors
described fit her.
“Being aware of your
surroundings is great and [we] can
definitely forget,” MacDonald
said after participating in a self-
defense demonstration with
Zuniga.

“Walk like you are aware,
standing up straight and using
peripheral view. Keep people at a
distance with positive energy and
never show fear,” Zuniga said.
Wachowski acknowledged that
safety efforts on campus are often
ignored by students. The student
attendance for campus CAPS
meetings appear to be dismal,
but the message is believed to be
relevant for everyone on campus
and in the community.
“[Students are] responsible for
their own safety,” Wachowski
said. “If more students became
involved, it would be much better
for everyone.”

Service group
works toward
sustainability
By AMANDA BOLEMAN
While taking a stroll down
Michigan Avenue, one may
think that the typical Chicagoan
lives a life of luxury. However,
many residents of this city are
struggling to put food on the
table. Since 1991, the Chicago
Cares organization has worked
with volunteer service programs
intended to combat these issues.       
“Through our service model,
Chicago Cares partners with
community organizations,
schools and businesses to see
what type of programs they need
to make their communities better
and more sustainable,”  said
Program Coordinator Marcie
Baeckeroot.    
Chicago Cares is the largest
hands-on volunteer service
organization in the city and
develops nearly 200 group
volunteer projects every month.      
“I work directly with
community programs, agencies
and schools to find programs
that best suit their needs,” said
Baeckeroot. “I specialize in food-
based programs, which help to
provide meals for soup kitchens,
food pantries and homeless
shelters.”   
Baeckeroot also works with
adult education programs, and
helps projects such as cleaning
up garbage, building new park
benches and providing free vision
screening.  
Aside from standard volunteer
projects, Chicago Cares also
offers service ideas to get to the
core of a community’s issues. “In
the past, we have set up sports
leagues and photo classes—we
really just try to be as creative as
possible,” Baeckeroot said.     
Chicago Cares also hosts two
large-scale projects annually
that engage more than 10,000
volunteers in the Chicago area.       
One of these events is the
Serve-a-thon, which takes place
the second Saturday in June. 
“On this day, we go out and
paint murals, garden, update
baseball fields and playground
equipment—basically, we go
around and beautify Chicago
Public Schools,” said Rory
Hackbarth, the communications
consultant for Chicago Cares.
As Chicago Cares’ largest
fundraiser, Baeckeroot said they
hope “to engage 8,000 volunteers
this June.”           
Blows to the economy have
actually had a positive impact
on Chicago Cares’ work in the
community.    
“With budget cuts and layoffs,
many people searched for other
meaningful ways to spend their
time, and found a sense of
purpose through volunteering,”
Hackbarth said, noting that the
number of volunteers increased
in 2009.   
“Volunteerism has taken
hold on the national scene
and it has proven to be a very
strategic and effective way of
improving conditions in large
cities like Chicago,” Hackbarth
said. “Relying on volunteers is
definitely here to stay.”

Faculty Exhibition at
DePaul's Art Museum
is the first in five years
By RACHEL METEA
A photograph of a hairy butt
and a decoupaged television set
are currently being displayed
in the DePaul University Art
Museum. For the first time in
five years the tables have turned.
The artwork of faculty members
at DePaul is being shown as part
of the 2010 Faculty Exhibition.
“This is a rare experience,”
said Mary Anne Papaneck-Miller,
a contributing professor at the
exhibition. Because DePaul has
not hosted a Faculty Exhibition
for five years, Papaneck-Miller
said, “We are very lucky and
grateful.”
The Exhibition openly
accepted work submitted by
professors from the Department
of Art, Media and Design; the
College of Computing and Digital
Media (CDM); and the School
of Education. The art reflects a
broad range from oil paintings to
digital cinema.   with quotes that he has heard
“The individual works are
really strong and diverse, yet they
still talk to one another,” said
Louise Lincoln, director of the
DePaul University Art Museum.
“This is a nice metaphor in a
University for how faculty and
students can work together.”
This is the first time the School
of CDM has been incorporated
into a Faculty Exhibition.
“It is a stronger show than
when we did this five years
ago because we are doing it in
collaboration with CDM,” said
Jeff Carter, the coordinator of
the Faculty Exhibition and the
faculty coordinator of the Art,
Media and Design Department.
“CDM has hired a lot of faculty
who are artists over the past five
years,” said Carter, “it made a lot
of sense to do a show with them.”
“There are not a lot of old-
fashioned things like printmaking
and oil painting,” said Lincoln. “I
found it interesting that the only
oil painting was submitted by
someone in Digital Media.”
The exhibition displays
works of sculpture, printmaking,
animation and photography.
