Poetry
Reading TODAY, January 29
A poetry reading and conversation with Charles Stein and George Quasha
will be held on Monday, January 29, at 4 p.m. in Tiffany Hall 208. Charles
Stein is the author of 10 books of poetry, many of which include his
own photographs. The most recent is The Hat Rack Tree. George
Quasha is the author of several books of poetry, including Giving
the Lily Back Her Hands. He has been co-publisher and editor of
Station Hill Press since 1978 and is the recipient of an NEA Fellowship
in Poetry. This should be an interesting event for those interested
in 20th century American poetry and poetics, multimedia work, and the
publishing world (especially the small presses).

Cadre: Borrowing and Lending
Bring your lunch and join us in the Library Seminar Room at 1 p.m. this
Tuesday, January 30. This week we’re discussing borrowing and lending:
Should we lend to friends? What happens when we borrow from family?
When is a loan not a loan? Do we really have to repay what we owe? Do
we have to pay interest? Where do student loans or mortgages fit into
this picture? What does the Bible say about all this? Contact Anne Towler
at (206) 281-2456 for more information.

Tollefson's
Article on Titus
Ken Tollefson, emeritus professor of anthropology, wrote an article
titled "Titus: Epistle of Religious Revitalization" that appeared in
the Winter 2000 issue of the Biblical Theological Bulletin 30
(4):145-157. Interest in this epistle was stimulated through a series
of lectures presented by Rob Wall, professor of Christian scriptures,
followed by a later suggestion that Ken make an anthropological analysis
of it. The Titus article documents the same six-step sequence of events
found in thousands of revitalization movements described in the anthropological
literature.
Capps
on Zimbabwe
Grayson Capp, professor of chemistry, and Myrna Capp, assistant professor
of music, presented a program for the Bellevue Rotary Club on January

The Capps were in Zimbabwe for six months as a result of Grayson receiving
a Rotary International University Lecture and Research Award. Grayson
lectured to medical students at the University of Zimbabwe and did research.
Myrna lectured, did research and performed at the Zimbabwe College of
Music. Their program included observations about the country, the people,
their varied experiences and a live mbira performance by Myrna, in which
the Rotary club members participated using hoshos (rattles) and movement.
