Marian College’s Weekly News www.mariancollege.edu April 16–23, 2007 THE WEEK AT MARIAN Produced for Marian College students, faculty and staff Art auction to benefit Thanatology program Gromme’s work featured in live, silent auction and dinner May 5 “Snowy Owl and a Lucky Mouse” Marian College will hold an Owen Gromme Wildlife Art Auction and Dinner in Marian’s Stayer Center for Technology & Executive Learning Saturday, May 5 at 6 p.m. Proceeds from the art auction and dinner will benefit the Edwin S. Shneidman Program in Thanatology, a collaborative initiative of Agnesian HealthCare, St. Agnes Hospital Foundation and Marian College. Gromme prints will be featured in a silent auction at 6 p.m. and a live auction following the dinner. Born in 1896 in Fond du Lac, Gromme began his career at 21 as a taxidermist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. After World War I, Gromme worked at the Milwaukee County Museum (now Milwaukee Public Museum) as a taxidermist, collector, photographer, movie editor, background painter, botanist, geologist, sculptor and curator of birds and mammals. He retired in 1965 to devote himself full-time to painting. Gromme gained acclaim in 1945 when he won the Federal Duck Stamp competition. In 1963 Gromme completed an internationally respected volume of scientific paintings, Birds of Wisconsin. He was frequently called the “dean of American wildlife artists.” His reputation as a painter of wildlife art enabled him to bring about important conservation issues such as legislation to protect birds, the protection of the Horicon Marsh, and the formation of the International Crane Foundation. Gromme served as president of the Wetlands for Wildlife organization and was among the first to crusade against the use of harmful chemicals in the outdoors. Gromme received five honorary “Wood Ducks on Gall’s Pond” doctorates for his environmental work, including one from Marian College in 1978. “We owe a great deal to those who came before us, and it is our duty to pass on to posterity a world morally and physically as good as, or better than, the one we live in,” said Gromme at Marian’s spring 1978 Commencement. “By every legal means it is our duty to oppose those who out of greed and avarice, or for selfish or other reasons, would pollute, defile or destroy that which means life itself to every living being.” The evening will begin with a reception at 6 p.m., featuring hors d’oeuvres, microbrews and a winetasting, and a silent auction. The live auction will follow the roasted duck dinner. Noted Gromme items for auction include “Days End — Mixed Bag,” “Snowy See AUCTION page 4 YOU are Marian Send emails to [email protected] or call ext. 7656 THE WEEK AT MARIAN Page 2 of 4 MONDAY 16 Critical Thinking Open Forum Stayer Center 217 12:45–2:15 PM Still Need a Job?

Funding will be provided by a free-will offering and reserved sponsors’ seating, which is available at $15 per single main floor seat, and $100 per mezzanine box, with seating for four people. To arrange for reserved seating, call 907-7678, or mail requests with payment to Pops Tickets, P O Box 1483, Fond du Lac WI 54936. Information is also available on the Band’s Web site, www.fdlsymphonicband.org. The concert will feature trumpet soloist Marty Robinson, Assistant Professor of Trumpet and Jazz at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh. Dr. Robinson is a native of Neenah and holds degrees from Lawrence University, the Eastman School of Music, and Florida State University. Prior to his appointment at Oshkosh in 2004, Dr. Robinson taught at Florida A&M YOU are Marian University in Tallahassee, where he was recognized as Teacher of the Year in 2001. Three area vocalists will be featured as the Band presents selections from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1949 hit musical “South Pacific.” Deb Fett will sing the role of nurse Nellie Forbush. Fett currently teaches elementary music at Riverside and Rosenow schools in Fond du Lac, and she has performed in various shows throughout Wisconsin including Fond du Lac Community Theater, the Fireside Playhouse in Fort Atkinson, and several seasons with the Heritage Ensemble in Fish Creek. Returning to the Band’s stage to perform the role of Bloody Mary is Susan Pitzen. A regular with the Symphonic Band in Cathedral, Pops and summer concerts since 1981, Pitzen has also been active in theater with leads in “My Fair Lady” and “Arsenic and Old Lace” at St Lawrence Seminary and with the Community Theater in Fond du Lac. Mark Plummer will complete the trio as the French plantation owner Emile de Becque. Plummer is Associate Professor of Music at Marian College, where he has served on the faculty since 2000. Plummer is equally comfortable with operatic and popular idioms, having sung such roles as Cavaradosi in Puccini’s “Tosca” and Jud Frye in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” Differing styles will comprise a set of three tangos on the program. The mostfamiliar, La Cumparsito, was composed in Uruguay in 1917, and has become known as the definitive “tango piece” throughout the world. Music of Russian composers will be represented with a spritely “Polonaise” by Anatoly Liedov, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s brilliant “Festive Overture.” The Band also will perform a patriotic elegy composed after the tragedy of 9/11: “Ever Braver, Ever Stronger” by Gordon Goodwin. In a lighter vein is Dance of the Hours by Ponchielli (better-known for the lyrics “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah” that were added by comedian Allen Sherman).

The play completes the student-founded Theatre’s 15th season on a classical note of high-spirited humor. Performances will take place in the college’s Hornung Student Center April 19–21 at 8 p.m. and April 22 at 1:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for the general public, $2 for senior citizens and non-Marian students with a valid ID, and free to the Marian College community. Founded in 1992 by a group of creative students who provided the impetus and startup funding for the college’s first annual play, Marian College Theatre is directed by Dr. David Schimpf. The Theatre engages students from all divisions of the college, ranging from science and nursing to the arts and humanities. The spring 2007 production enlists the talent of student actors and technicians along with theatrical artists from the local community. Cast members include Renee Beyer, Scott Bins, Andy Brault, Nicole Brocks, Amanda Czajkowski, April Dunisch, Tiffany Erdmann, Chantelle Graczkowski, Rob Gustafson, Veronica Hilgenberg, Amanda Koss, Katie Oestreich, Brett Petri, Maggie Pickart, David Schimpf, Mark Schimpf, Elizabeth Stafford, Melissa TeWinkle, Annette Van Straten, and Brittany Woyak. A carnival of contagious fun and folly, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” follows the romantic revolts and reveries of four star-crossed youths who spurn the trappings of arranged marriage in pursuit of true love. The youths are aided and abetted by a cast of matchmaking fairies with an uncanny knack for mischief. Considered one of Shakespeare’s finest and funniest comedies, the play captures the everyday frustrations and common pitfalls that pave the road of romance, dating and marriage while also adding a dash of magical spice, reminding audiences that anything is possible in a world transformed by love’s rebellious spirit. Celebrating its 15th season, Marian College Theatre draws its strength from a long legacy of student activism that inspired the formation of the theatre in the 1992–93 school year, when members of a student club approached college faculty to discuss founding a theatre program. Student club funds financially backed the college’s first play. The outlay of student support — coupled with a separate but synchronous effort by the college administration to establish a Communications department — led to the inception of Marian College Theatre, a fullservice theatre arts program. Marian College Theatre includes an academic minor and experiential-based learning through spring and fall productions. It advocates a holistic study of the theatre arts as a means of creative expression, personal enrichment and civic participation. Creating a collaborative exchange between college and community, past productions have united the skills of student actors and community members, including volunteers from the Fond du Lac Community Theatre, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

She talked with the director of Colombia’s Human Rights Office as well as representatives of the U.S. Embassy and the United Nations, and met families of the disappeared, the murdered and the displaced.
