Ferreiro
Lectures on Protestant Reformation
Alberto Ferreiro, professor of history, gave a four-part lecture
on the Protestant Reformation at Assumption Catholic Parish in Seattle
last month. Topics covered the main streams of Protestantism and Luther,
Calvin and others. The last talk was on ecumenism and the significant
achievements that 35 years of dialogue have produced and the fruit of
the Second Vatican Council. It also included the great issues that still
divide. Attendance was robust and discussions were lively and fruitful.
Krienke
Uses Hubble Telescope for Research
Karl Krienke, emeritus professor of physics and mathematics, and
Paul Hodge, professor of astronomy at the University of Washington,
had their paper "HST Photometry of Clusters of Galaxies Behind the Dwarf
Irregular Galaxies DDO216, IC1613 and the SMC" accepted for publication
in the September issue of the refereed research journal, Publications
of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. They used the Hubble
Space Telescope to measure light from distant clusters of galaxies seen
through the nearby galaxies: Pegasus Dwarf, IC1613 and the Lindsey 31
region of the Small Magellanic Cloud. The professors then inferred reddening
and extinction due to the nearby galaxy. They also set quantitative
limits in this method as an experimental technique.
Kelly's
Story on Eugene Peterson
Clint Kelly, University communications specialist, wrote the cover
story for the July issue of Mature Living. "The Story Behind
The Message" features 1954 SPU alumnus and 1995 Alumnus of the
Year Eugene Peterson and his modern translation of the Bible, written
in today's common vernacular.
