Snapshots: A day for family at Santaga Stadium The former Phoenix Field, home of Phoenix men's and women's soccer teams, was renamed "Aldo Santaga Stadium" September 3. More than 40 alumni returned for the dedication and Homecoming activities; many contributed financially to the event for future upgrades to the soccer facility.

The academic achievements of last year's men's and women's cross country

head coach Mike Kline '88, and his Phoenix thin clads. The Phoenix men
ranked fourth in the nation with a 3.44 team grade-point average, and
the women earned a 3.20, good for 27th. It was a super year for Phoenix
athletes both on the court (conference champs in three sports) and in
the classroom (academic all-americans, conference academic title for the
women). To check it out, go to http://www.uwgb.edu/athletics/offthefield/090605a.asp.

Prof. Derek Jeffreys leads the first discussion with his commentary, "Defending Human Dignity: John Paul II and Political Realism." Drawing on a thorough knowledge of the philosophy of John Paul II, and a wide reading of contemporary political theory, Prof. Jeffreys contrasts the Pope's moral and political thought with the political realism approach. Starting with an example drawn from current events, Jeffreys will discuss the application of the Pope's philosophy to practical political thinking on the international scale. |
| Jeffreys
is an associate professor of Humanistic Studies. He has written the
introduction to a recent edition of William James' distinguished work
The Varieties of Religious Experience and was recently awarded
the Templeton Foundation teaching fellowship. His book, Defending
Human Dignity: John Paul II and Political Realism, was published
by Brazos Press in 2004. The event is from 11:45 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. September 29 at the Holiday Inn (Ontario-Erie rooms). The cost is $15. Register online. |
