Professors Tamara Beauboeuf,
Robert Hershberger recognized
for exemplary teaching
For the first time in its history, the annual Exemplary Teaching Award
– given jointly by DePauw and the General Board of Higher Education
of the United Methodist Church – was presented to two professors
at DePauw. Tamara M. Beauboeuf, assistant professor of education
studies and sociology, and Robert P. Hershberger, associate professor
of modern languages (Spanish), are the 2004-05 recipients.
The Exemplary Teaching Award recognizes faculty members who
exemplify excellence in teaching, civility and concern for students and
colleagues, commitment to value-centered education, and service to
students, institution and community.
“Each fall I issue a call for nominations
from faculty colleagues,” Neal B. Abraham,
executive vice president, vice president for
academic affairs and dean of the faculty, said.
“After review of these nominations and study
of the annual reports and personnel files of
the nominated faculty members, I select the
recipients. For the current year, I received so
many and such strong nominations that I
decided to make two awards.”
Tamara Beauboeuf joined the DePauw

faculty in sociology and education in 2001.
Abraham noted, “In a few years, she has
demonstrated exceptional abilities to bridge
teaching in two different departments, one
since renamed to education studies. She has
provided inspiration to colleagues through
her new courses; she has led Winter Term
trips that were particularly effective for her
students; and she has contributed greatly to
the development of the new curriculum for
the education studies department, just as
she contributed effectively to the work of
the General Education Task Force. She has
inspired a number of faculty colleagues and
attracted many students to each of her depart-

ments. Students speak in glowing terms of the rigor of her courses and
the demands she places on them, and they express gratitude for her
dedication and devotion to their learning.”
Robert Hershberger joined the DePauw faculty in modern languages
in 1998. “He has been an exemplar for his faculty colleagues in the
teaching of languages, particularly in the use of various technologies
to enhance both teaching and learning,” Abraham said. “His teaching
is particularly exemplary for its student-centered approach. Students
speak of the effectiveness with which he has drawn them to mastery and
fluency. He has enriched the curriculum with
new courses in film and Hispanic literature.
He has helped to attract higher numbers of
majors and minors. He has been a dedicated
leader and contributor to the Winter Term in
Service program. He has authored elementary
and intermediate textbooks that adhere to the
standard of his pedagogy, which prioritizes oral
proficiency attained through a communicative
approach to instruction. And he has served
as a mentor to both junior and senior faculty
colleagues.”
Previous recipients of the Exemplary
Beauboeuf Teaching Award are Tom Chiarella, professor
of English; Andrea E. Sununu, professor of
English; Valarie H. Ziegler, professor of reli-
gious studies; Craig T. Paré, associate professor
of music; John Dittmer, senior professor of
history; Terri Bonebright, associate professor
of psychology; Carl P. Singer, professor of
computer science; J. David Field, professor of
English; and Jacqueline R. Roberts, associate
professor of chemistry. “Together they provide
inspiration to all of us as models of DePauw’s
enduring commitment to the preeminent
importance of creative and effective teaching
by its faculty members,” Abraham said.

Master plan will enhance use

of DePauw Nature Park
A welcome and activities center, an environmental field station and biology laboratory
building, a small outdoor amphitheater and a retreat center are among the items included in
a master plan for the DePauw University Nature Park. Designed by Mansur Developers, the
plan explores possible uses for the 481-acre site, which is located one-third of a mile from the
western edge of the DePauw campus and is accessible via a short walk.
DePauw President Robert G. Bottoms said, “Since September 2003, when we announced
the generous gift that made the Nature Park possible, faculty, students, staff and administrators
have been meeting, planning and, most importantly, imagining what this site might be like.
Mansur was able to take the best of those ideas and create a plan, which serves as a blueprint
for the possibilities we might explore as we go forward.”
The DePauw Nature Park opened to the public in September 2004. Already in place are 10
miles of trails that wind through the property and along Big Walnut Creek as well as outdoor
teaching areas and a small outdoor amphitheater. Areas for weekend primitive camping and a
canoe launch with a canoe rental service were scheduled to open in the spring. Construction is

underway on the approximately 3,800-square-foot laboratory building,
Manning Environmental Field Station, which will facilitate the teach-
ing of geoscience and biological classes and will include laboratories
that may be used for environmental science, environmental biology
and ecology. There are also plans to develop natural areas (prairie and
wetland).
The master plan includes:
• Welcome Center/Activities Center – With 1,400 square feet of
interior space and 3,700 square feet of total space under the roof, this
will serve as a trailhead building for groups entering the park, where
they can receive orientation and plan their activities. The structure
also will serve as the offices for the park ranger staff. Construction
is now underway.
• Small Outdoor Amphitheater – Already constructed, it can accom-
modate 100-200 persons and host outdoor theatre performances
or concerts.
• Retreat Center – Built in an environmentally sensitive manner, this
building would include meeting and conference facilities suitable
for groups ranging from dozens of people to hundreds. Complete
development of this concept would include residential facilities as
well as kitchen, dining and meeting rooms. It is envisioned that the
Center will host campus, regional, corporate and national events
that exceed the capabilities of other facilities on campus or within
the region.
The master plan also calls for installation
of toilets and water fountains in key locations
around the Nature Park. A two-inch main, which delivers city water
to the site, has already been installed, and electricity is provided by
PSI/Cinergy. The plan suggests that on-site wastewater treatment is
not possible and recommends installation of a forced sewer main that
would connect to the city wastewater treatment plant.
“The new opportunities for teaching and research, of developing
connections between different disciplines, and the opportunities for
community outreach the Nature Park will provide, are enormous,”
Wade N. Hazel, professor of biology at DePauw and a key architect
of the vision for the Nature Park, said. “The park also will enhance
DePauw’s abilities to attract students interested in environmental
issues. I’m confident that, years from now, the investments in the
Nature Park will turn out to be some of the wisest the University has
ever made.”
Hanson Aggregates, which mined the quarry on the site, donated
280 acres of the land and is leasing the remaining 178 acres to the
University for $1 annually for 99 years. DePauw acquired 23 acres of
adjacent property to increase the total to 481 acres.

DePauw acquires Walden Inn
Walden Inn, the 55-room hotel, restaurant and conference center
located on the DePauw campus, has been acquired by the University.
Walden Inn’s principal owner, Don R. Daseke ’61 of Dallas, announced
an agreement to transfer ownership of the property to his alma mater.
The transaction was unanimously approved by DePauw’s Board of
Trustees.
“It’s been a thrill seeing the Inn open and, over the years, under the
dedicated and effective leadership of Innkeeper Randy Rhine, develop
into the highly regarded facility that it is today,” Daseke, a trustee of
the University since 1984, said. “After a series of talks with DePauw
President Bob Bottoms, it became clear that this transaction would
be an outstanding next chapter to the Walden Inn story. My love for
DePauw and Walden Inn is well documented. After almost 20 years
of opening and overseeing the Inn, I know its future is in very good
hands with DePauw. I’m quite confident the Inn will continue to make
a strong contribution to the life of both DePauw and Greencastle.”
President Bottoms added, “Walden Inn has become an important
part of DePauw – our alumni, visitors and parents of students stay there;
students use the social space – and it is a keystone of the Putnam County
community, hosting weddings, receptions and attracting visitors to
Greencastle who spend money at local businesses and return home with
stories of the unique things this city has to offer. DePauw is committed
to making this fine property an even greater asset to both the campus
and the community. We plan to carry on the tradition of excellence that
Don Daseke, Matt O’Neill and Randy Rhine have established.”
The University is immediately upgrading Walden Inn’s guest
rooms and conference facilities. Day-to-day operation of the Inn will
be managed by Sodexho, the leading food and facilities management
services company in North America, which has provided food services
on the DePauw campus since 2002 and operates facilities that are very
similar to Walden Inn in other college towns around America.
“Other than the renovations, visitors to the Inn shouldn’t see any
obvious changes,” Richard Speller, DePauw vice president for finance
and administration, said. “Of course, it is our goal over time to continue
to enhance the experiences that Walden Inn offers its guests. This is
something that promises to add value to DePauw in every way.”
A 19,000-square-foot expansion of the Inn, completed in January
2003, created a new and much larger Fluttering Duck (for casual lunches
and dinners; it also hosts live musical performances and is equipped
with several televisions for enjoying sporting events), a banquet room
with space for 250 people (expandable to accommodate 100 more)
and study space for students to work alone or in groups. The space
formerly occupied by the Fluttering Duck is now a coffee shop serving
Starbucks products.

Tim Rogers appointed

head football coach
Tim Rogers, who was offensive coordinator and
quarterback coach at Cornell University last season after
serving the previous six years as head coach at Kalamazoo
College, has been named DePauw’s head football coach.
Rogers succeeds Bill Lynch, who resigned Jan. 31 to
become assistant head coach/offensive coordinator/tight
ends coach at Indiana University.
“Tim Rogers is a highly respected and well-liked coach,
and I’m thrilled that he’s coming to DePauw,” S. Page Cot-
ton Jr. ’71, director of athletics, said. “The strong tradition of highly
competitive football teams that value scholarship as well as athletic
excellence is in very good hands.”
Rogers said, “Being at Cornell and coaching in the Ivy League was
always a goal of mine, and it takes something very special for me to
leave. Coaching at DePauw is another lifelong ambition. I’ve always
envisioned myself coaching at a Division III program with the facilities
and commitment to compete at the national level, and that describes
DePauw. I’m accepting one of the nation’s best Division III coaching
jobs, and I’m excited to get started.”
Rogers compiled a record of 28-28 at Kalamazoo. He served as
Kalamazoo’s defensive coordinator and coached linebackers and defen-
sive ends before taking over the head coaching duties. In 2000 Rogers
led the Hornets to a 5-4 record, the team’s best finish since 1993. In
2003 Rogers led the Hornets to their first six-win season since 1993.
In 2002 the team ranked nationally in total offense, passing offense
and scoring offense. Two players also ranked among the nation’s best,
earning a spot among the best in total offense, pass ef-
ficiency, receiving yards and receptions per game.
During Rogers’ tenure as defensive coordinator, 21
Hornet defensive players were named to the All-Michigan
Intercollegiate Athletic Association first, second or hon-
orable mention squads. Rogers has coached two MIAA
defensive MVPs (1999 and 2001), and he sent the first
two Hornets to the Aztec Bowl, the Division III All-Star
game vs. Mexico.
A Chicago native, Rogers served as a graduate assistant at Eastern
Michigan University prior to his stint at Kalamazoo. Rogers earned a
master’s degree from EMU in physical education in 1993. He coached
the receivers and helped develop the EMU passing attack. He also
was responsible for recruiting in the Chicago area and assisted with
off-season conditioning.
Rogers served as running backs coach at Moraine Valley (Ill.)
Community College in 1992, and he was interim defensive backs
coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 1991. From 1988-90
he was a varsity assistant coach at his alma mater, Chicago’s De La
Salle High School.
Rogers lettered in four seasons as a defensive back at Beloit (Wis.)
College. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 1988 and was selected to
the All-Sigma Chi National Football Team as a senior.
The new coach inherits a DePauw team that was 8-2 in 2004 and
will return 16 starters in the fall. Rogers becomes DePauw’s 10th head
coach in the past 75 seasons.

Corrections
In the fall 2004 Annual Honor Roll of Donors, John W. and Maribeth (Steimle ’88) Busey
’90 were inadvertently omitted from the Washington C. DePauw Society roster of annual
members. Also, Elizabeth A. Goldberg should have been listed in the Patrons Circle for the
Class of 1999 in the Annual Honor Roll of Donors. The staff apologizes for the omissions.

Richard Peck ’56, The Teacher’s Funeral: A Comedy in Three Parts (Dial Books – ISBN: 0-
8037-2736-4). Set in rural Parke County, Ind., The Teacher’s Funeral is about “one mess of bad
puppies” who, after attending the funeral of their spinster teacher, find among themselves her
replacement for their one-room schoolhouse. Peck’s one-of-a-kind characters are fraught with
Hoosier back-country charm in a funny, page-turning story at the onset of the automobile age.

book on Disney’s impact on American culture, but shifted his focus in November 2003 when
Roy Disney resigned from the media giant’s board of directors. Stewart then focused on Michael
Eisner’s impact on Disney as Eisner tried to save his job. The larger-than-life characters and
thrilling plot might have been the subject of a Disney animated classic – except that it is true.

 Leading the life of
A slice of campus life throughout the day
Photography by Matt Bowen
DePauw students lead busier lives than ever. So, what is it like to be a student
at DePauw University today?

In an attempt to illustrate a day in the life of students, DePauw Magazine photo-

graphed various campus happenings during several days in February. While it is
impossible to chronicle all the things that students pack into a day at DePauw
– in addition to classes – the following photo feature should give the reader a fair
representation of the level of activity.

One student, junior Nicole R. Pence, graciously allowed DePauw Magazine to photo-
graph her throughout her day. You will see Nicole several times in this section.

7:55 a.m.
Twelve students are already at work in a
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy class taught
by Frederick M. Soster, professor of geosci-
ences, in a laboratory on the lower level of the
Percy Lavon Julian Science & Mathematics
Center. They use a “ro-tap” to sieve sediment
into progressively smaller sizes of grains.
Even though it’s the first class period of the
day, there is a high energy level in the lab as
the students and professor interact.

8:15 a.m.
Juniors Nicole R. Pence (on right) and Kye T. Hawkins are on the air
on WGRE radio with their morning show, a music and talk show featur-
ing a peppiness that reflects the hosts’ personalities. The dynamic
duo has developed a devoted number of fans for their show among
listeners both on campus and in the community. The best friends
are back on campus after doing internships in the fall: Pence, who
is majoring in communication and Spanish with a minor in political
science, worked at Fox News Network in Washington, D.C., and
Hawkins, a communication major, interned at MTV in New York City.
Their professional approach to their WGRE show is evident.

“My ultimate goal is to be an anchor person in a large market,” says Pence (facing page), who serves as D3TV promotions
director as well as WGRE news director. You might want to watch for her in a major media market near you.

“Technology is very prevalent now. It’s very
influential on campus,” says sophomore biology
major and Latin minor Bryan R. Helm, who is
on duty at the Computer Center help desk in
the Percy Lavon Julian Science & Mathemat-
ics Center, where he fields calls for help from
students and faculty members. They may
have a computer that is not working properly,
perhaps a student has class in 15 minutes and
his or her computer won’t print a document, a
faculty member may need to post documents
on the Web, they have software that needs to
be installed, or a host of other problems. In his
second year as a member of the Information
Technology Associates Program (ITAP), Helm
also is a Science Research Fellow.

10:22 a.m.
In the physical therapy department at Putnam County Hospital, first-year
student and Bonner Scholar Wagner L. Bichotte works with patients two
days per week, usually for four hours. “Sometimes, I come in 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. like a regular work day, so I see what physical therapists do all day,”
he explains. He plans to major in kinesiology and pursue a career in the
medical field, so the opportunity to get hands-on experience in a hospital
fits well for him, he explains. Recipient of a Posse Leadership Scholarship,
he has been invited to join the Honor Scholar Program.

14
11:40 a.m.
Sitting in a semi-circle in Asbury Hall, room
115, seven students engage in discussion
with Adebajo Amusa, instructor in philosophy.
The class is titled “African Philosophy.” At
left is senior Alysia C. Sargent, a Posse
Scholar and senior communication major,
who keeps busy outside of class as presi-
dent of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority; past
president and current vice president of the
Association of African-American Students;
Student Technology Assessment, Resources
and Training (START) consultant; secre-
tary of the National Pan-Hellenic Council;
coordinator of Tobacco Prevention and
Cessation; and a WGRE radio newscaster.

“I can say that I am learning in the class-

room, but I know for sure I am learning more
outside of it,” Sargent says. “I thrive on the
extracurricular activity because it keeps
me motivated about being at DePauw and
optimistic about my future.”

12:15 p.m.
La mesa española, or Spanish table, in the
Hub food court in the Memorial Student Union
Building. While the dining room fills with
hungry students and buzzing conversation,
Nicole Pence (center) engages Associate
Professors of Modern Languages Robert P.
Hershberger (at right) and Maria Luque-Ekrich
and other students in informal conversation
– in Spanish, of course. Luque-Ekrich has
joined students at the Spanish table for 14
years, and Hershberger for seven years.
Hershberger is a co-recipient of the 2005
Exemplary Teaching Award.

1:20 p.m.
Ten students in the Video Art I class are working with digital editing soft-
ware at stations in the Digital Imaging Lab in the Richard E. Peeler Art
Center. Later, Associate Professor of Art Cynthia O’Dell (inset photo) will
dispatch the students with mini-DV cameras to shoot video on campus.
When they return, the students will use the digital editing software to edit
their video projects.

 3 p.m.
Senior Latin major Austin M. Diaz (at left), a Holton Scholar,
has his weekly meeting with Pedar W. Foss, assistant professor
of classical studies, (in Foss’ office in the Percy Lavon Julian
Science & Mathematics Center) to discuss progress with his
Honor Scholar senior thesis, which is titled “Ovid’s Voice.” Diaz
is producing a translation of Ovid with notes and companion
pieces. “The comments he gives back tells me that he spends
a lot of time reviewing my work,” Diaz says. It is more than a
coincidence that Foss is Diaz’ senior thesis adviser. “It was Pro-
fessor Foss’ Honor Scholar freshman seminar that interested
me in going into the classics,” Diaz explains. Now he plans to
pursue a doctoral degree and teach in the classics.

He also is a member of the swimming team and Media Fellows,

and he was editor of The DePauw last fall.

2 p.m.
“It’s a whole different world out here,” junior Management Fellow Patrick P. Ferrini says
as he exits the Indiana State Capitol building. During the spring semester, he is a gov-
ernment affairs intern for the Baker & Daniels law firm in Indianapolis. One of his major
duties is to sit in on committee meetings in the statehouse and monitor the House and
Senate floor. “The internship is giving me skills I wouldn’t necessarily learn in class,”
he notes.

Because he plans a career in law, Ferrini appreciates the unusual opportunity to work at
a law firm as an undergraduate through the Management Fellows Program.

19
 4:20 p.m.
In the Hartman Center for Civic Education
and Leadership, a meeting is under way to
review the 2005 Winter Term in Service trips
and beginning planning WTIS trips for 2006.
Junior Martha A. Leader (center), the Winter
Term in Service Head Intern, and Jessica S.
Thompson ’02, assistant director of WTIS,
lead the meeting. Leader, who participated
in WTIS trips to Ghana in 2004 and Ecuador
in 2005, says, “Winter Term in Service is
one of the reasons I came to DePauw. Being
head intern is an extra.”

She is a recipient of the Katherine Cox Hoover

Scholarship.

20
4:48 p.m.
Even during the off-season, field hockey demands
a significant commitment of time each week for
first-year student Margaret P. McDermott, who is
participating in agility drills with the team. The fall
sports teams practice in the Lilly Physical Education
and Recreation Center during the winter. “It is a
challenge to create a balance between my athletic
life and education life,” she says. “I rarely have
missed a practice because of academics, which
means that I spend most of my time outside of
field hockey on my homework.” McDermott, a
Posse Scholar, also is a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma sorority and volunteers at the A-Way Home
Shelter in Greencastle.
21
 5:35 p.m.
In the Performing Arts Center, room 152, first-year student Corinne M.
Webb (facing page), a music and psychology double major, is in French
horn ensemble practice, under the direction of Robert B. Danforth, adjunct
instructor of music. She also is a member of the band and orchestra.
“I am enrolled in a five-year double degree program that enables me to
receive both a Bachelor of Music degree from the School of Music and a
Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Liberal Arts,” Webb explains.
“The collaboration between the College of Liberal Arts and School of
Music is unique among universities similar to DePauw, and it is truly an
asset to all students involved in both parts of the University.”

Webb is a recipient of the Elaine S. Smith Scholarship and Dr. James

W. Godwin Scholarship.

6:45 p.m.
Winter Term Programming Board Chair Sarah E. Sum-
mers (center) contributes to a Union Board meeting in the
Memorial Student Union Building. A first-year student,
Summers signed up for the Union Board at the Activities
Fair in the fall. “When they offered me the program chair
position, I thought that would be a good role to step
into to prepare for future leadership positions,” she
says. She also is active in DePauw Community Service
and works for The DePauw student newspaper. She is
a member of the Media Fellows Program.

An English writing major, Summers is a recipient of a

Presidential Rector Scholarship and a Lilly Endowment
Scholarship.

Preparing for a full dress rehearsal of the opera, Orpheus in the Under-
world, first-year student Stacey E. Sands adds finishing touches to her
make-up in a dressing room in the Performing Arts Center. She is very
pleased to have landed a substantial role as a first-year student. “As a
vocal performance major, music takes up most of my day,” says Sands,
recipient of a Holton Scholarship and Music Performance Scholarship.
“When I’m not in a music class, I’m in an acting or language class, which
are both important to the development of a vocalist. And when I’m not in
class, I have rehearsal, lessons or practice. And with all that, I still try to
fit in other campus activities.”

7:30 p.m.
“I’ve always had students to my home,
including advisees, students from classes
and international students,” says Ellen J.
Maycock, University Professor and profes-
sor and chair of mathematics. This evening
she is hosting in her home a “reunion” of
students who were in her First-Year Seminar
on “The Non-Euclidean Revolution” during
the fall semester. Despite the intimidating
sounding title of that seminar, these stu-
dents were excited to get together again in
the spring semester and catch up on each
other’s lives.

25
 9:15 p.m.
Marvin’s restaurant is a popular meeting place
for students, who often enjoy a Garlic Cheese
Burger (GCB) and cheese fries, or other well-known
Marvin’s food.

8:50 p.m.
Nicole Pence (at far right) is participating in
a “flower-in” in front of her sorority house, Pi
Beta Phi. In this case, individual members of
Sigma Chi fraternity are presenting a rose to
each member of the sorority. Still one of the
most popular Greek traditions on campus,
flower-ins occur frequently throughout the
semester.

26
11:35 p.m.
Nicole Pence (second from right) began the day
before 8 a.m. in order to prepare for her morn-
ing radio show. Now, she and some friends are
in Roy O. West Library, where they often study
until the library closes at midnight. And the day
isn’t over yet …

Jordan, Volcker to Co-chair 2005 Event

I hope you will join us for DePauw Discourse 2005 on campus September 15-17. DePauw Discourse provides
opportunities to explore relevant issues, participate in stimulating discussions, and discover points of view not readily
available through the media or our everyday lives.

We are delighted that Vernon E. Jordan Jr. ’57 and Paul A. Volcker will serve as honorary co-chairs and participate
in the discourse as we continue this new DePauw tradition. Last year’s inaugural
DePauw Discourse 2004: Issues for America – which featured former presidential envoy
to Iraq L. Paul Bremer, former congressman and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission Lee
Hamilton ’52, and many other distinguished speakers – provided tremendous value for
alumni, students, faculty members and all who participated.
