Students Address Cultural Diversity, Prejudice, Maine Perspective

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

To learn more about a culture, and one's self, immersion is often essential. And when opportunities for such learning are not immediately accessible, it may require going to the source - or having the source come to you. Addressing issues concerning minorities, cultural diversity and prejudice have been a primary focus of Residential Life in recent years. This fall, when it was time for 50 student resident assists from East Campus to take their annual educational retreat to focus on communication, team-building and other skills necessary for effective residence hall management, the site was not secluded location in Maine but …

Bruce Olsen - Oru Chapel Transcript 9-12-1989, Bruce Olsen

Chapel AV & Transcripts

This is a transcript of an chapel service held on the campus of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK. The speaker is Bruce Olsen, missionary to Colombia's Motilone Indians. At 19 years old, Olsen left his university studies to go to Colombia to reach the Motilone, a tribe that was hostile and violent toward outsiders. While Olsen was reaching out to the tribe, one of the members shot him in the leg with an arrow. Surprisingly, they did not kill him but nursed him back to health. Olsen spent the rest of his career reaching this tribe with the Gospel …

Beauty In Mathematics: Some Theological Implications, David L. Neuhouser

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989

It may come as a surprise to some that science or mathematics could be considered beautiful, but many prominent sciences and mathematicians from around the world have made such claims. Furthermore, the beauty of mathematics and order of the universe inspired some of the greatest developments in science and mathematics. This paper examines the beauty of mathematics and what scientists and other individuals have said about the subject.

A Course On Mathematics And The Christian Faith, W. David Laverell, Carl J. Sinke

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989

The January interim term at Calvin College provides an opportunity for developing and teaching courses outside a normal major program. As a result faculty members are frequently given the interim off to provide time for research and development of new courses. In 1987 we were given such a leave in order to pursue the questions of the relationship between mathematics and the Christian Faith. One result was our presentation at the 1987 Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences conference. Immediately thereafter we began to develop a specific interim course based on our studies. We offered the course during the …

The Bisexual Galton-Watson Branching Process, David M. Hull

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989

I would like to present the bisexual Galton-Watson branching process. The word "bisexual" indicates that we will be considering a population of two sexes--which will be designated as the usual male and female. Here is a brief overview of what I would like to cover.

1. The bisexual process motivated: why is it needed?
2. The standard Galton-Watson branching process.
3. The state of affairs regarding two-sex models.
4. The nuts and bolts of the bisexual Galton-Watson branching process (parameters defined and how it works).
5. A review of published bisexual results to date.
6. What is to come?

Simulated Annealing On Np-Complete Problems, Russell W. Howell

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989

The Random House Dictionary defines anneal as " ... to free (glass, metals, etc.) from internal stress by heating and gradually cooling." In the physical world, impurities are annealed out of a substance by heating it to a high temperature. As it is cooled, its molecular structure gradually settles into a stable "low-energy" configuration. It is important to cool the substance slowly, especially at lower temperatures, so that impurities do not get "frozen" into place. With careful cooling, a low-energy state can eventually be reached. This state may not be the one with the lowest potential energy, where the spins …

Letter Of Response From The Chancellor's Office To A Citizen Expressing Concern About "National Condom Week" Observances, Kent A. Price

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We must admit that times have changed, though not so much in the morals and personal standards of our students. Both research and common sense tell us that the standards of behavior set by parents for their children are not eroded by college life or other influences of the larger society. It's true, however, that today's students are much less embarrassed or otherwise restrained about discussing the once-unmentionable. Some may applaud this new openness and some may wince at it, but there's not much that university administrators can do to influence it.

Implementation Plan In Response To The Report Of Task Force On The Status Of Women At The University Of Maine, Office Of The President, University Of Maine

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

In December 1987, President Dale Lick commissioned a Task Force on the Status of Women at the University of Maine. The Task Force submitted its report on June 1, 1988. Its findings and conclusions expressed serious concerns related to each area of its charge: (1) the distribution, retention, compensation, advancement, and representation of women at the University and (2) the organizational processes and climate affecting women at the University. The one hundred and four (104) recommendations suggested specific actions to address the concerns defined in the Task Force's findings. This Draft Implementation Plan is an administrative response to each of …
