FALL / WINTER, 2000 • Volume 2, No. 1 Language Lab Leaps Into 2000 F or a decade, the Modern Languages and Literatures Department dreamed of replacing its rusty cassette tape lab with a digital facility. In 2000, that dream became a reality. Willy and Vreni Borner, parents of Cal Poly student Nicole Borner who minored in German, supple­ mented Cal Poly funds for the pro­ ject. "The Borners' donation has enabled us to get the lab up and running as soon as possible," said Bianca Rosenthal, chair of the department. According to lab project direc­ tor John Thompson, "It replaces our traditional tape recorder and headphone language laboratory." Officially the Poly Lingual International Resource Center (PIRC), the lab is a multimedia teaching and learning facility, complete with a ceiling projector, stereo speakers, and a new Canon digital document camera so instructors can integrate visual and audio aids into their classes. The PIRC contains 22 Dell PCs in a local area network, powered by a high-end video and audio server for the easy storage and use of digitized versions of films, slides, music, language tapes and other media. What's next? The department, thanks to yet another Cal Poly Plan grant, will install 15 Apple G4s in an adjoining room to serve as a Multimedia Development Lab. The grant will also make avail­ able specialized software pack­ ages allowing students to learn several Asian languages. Finally, the facility will be fitted with a satellite dish and will subscribe to the international educational tele­ vision system SCOLA (which shows news and other copyrightfree programming from many countries).

After all, California pays the bills, right? Well, not all the bills! This newsletter shows how gifts and endowments enhance learning. Read the story on former dean Jon Ericson's gift to London Study. Or, look over the article on the Borners' assistance to the Modern Language Literature and Department's Poly Lingual International Resource Center. Without such help, both study abroad and mediarich instruction would be luxuries that only students at selective private schools could enjoy. Of course, there is much more in this issue. We have also profiled students, graduates, and faculty so we can reflect on how liber­ al arts leads to an enriched life. Enjoy! Harry Hellenbrand 2 ary La Venture, CLA's Outstanding Alumna for 2000, began college in Home Economics. One day her teacher stated, "In this class, there is only one way to do a hem." Okay, Mary thought - now what do I do? She changed her major to Photojournalism, then Public Relations, and finally Speech Communication . . . sort of. When she attended Cal Poly in the '70s, the Theatre program was housed in Speech Communication. Theatre is what Mary loved. Her first role was in "Front Page," and she soon discovered a talent for designing, especially costumes. She also did public rela­ tions for the productions and man­ aged ticketing. After Cal Poly, Mary shot photos of off-road races in Baja and elsewhere for sports magazines. She kept her dream of working in theater alive, however. Eventually, Mary worked for Disney for six years in millinery and costumes. The last four years, her career has blossomed. She designs and Mary La Venture crafts headpieces for the Pageant of (JOUR) the Masters in the Laguna Festival of Arts. In the off-season she works on animatronics and char­ acters for a new Disney project in Japan. For the Pageant, Mary creates over 150 headpieces out of latex and buckram. After being costumed, performers go to her for wig caps. Then they receive makeup and the rest of their costumes. Finally they return to Mary for finishing touches. She enjoys the challenge of transforming 3-D persons into 2-D illusions. The Pageant runs for two months during the summer in Laguna next to the Playhouse on Laguna Canyon Road. The theme this year for the tableaux is "California Dreamers: Artists, Innovators, and Explorers." Mary is a passionate supporter of Cal Poly's Theatre Department. She has frequently lectured there, given workshops and arranged for student internships in the entertainment indus­ try. Ten years ago, she was instrumental in founding Friends and Alumni Network of Supporters for the Cal Poly Theatre Program (FANS). The group helped to develop the new major, raise schol­ arship funds and develop long-range plans for the department. It is no wonder that the Theatre, Speech Communication and Journalism Departments all claim Mary as theirs! College of Liberal Arts Newsletter The Write Way: Faculty and Alumni Talk About Writing Novak Illustrates Technical Writing With Ease P rofessor Matt Novak (English; Technical Communication Certificate director) believes that explaining the inner workings of a computer, creating product ads and writing and illustrating children's books all have something in common. "They're all forms of technical communi­ cation," Novak said. "In each case, you want to show off the best features and benefits of your product." Novak has led the Technical Communi­ cation Program since 1989. Since then, the technical writing profession has exploded, and the program's approximately 120 grad­ uates have reaped its benefits. "Two-thirds of our graduates are nonEnglish majors, but all who want to work in the field are employed," Novak said. "Companies such as IBM complain that they can't recruit enough people from our pro­ gram." Novak himself is the poster boy for tech­ nical communication. He started out with a degree in Electrical Engineering, went on to get a bachelor's and master's in English, and finally a Ph.D. in English with a con­ centration in Technical Communication. True to his belief that almost everything you communicate is technical communica­ tion, Novak applies his theories to what he The 20-plus books he has created, are clearly important to thousands of children, mostly ages 4 to 8, who have enjoyed his highly entertaining stories and vivid illus­ trations, which he created on his computer. When asked what he wants to accomplish at Cal Poly, Novak answered, "I'd like to teach students that learning in and of itself does for fun — writing and illustrating chil­ dren's books. "I'm telling a story in a non- is fun and rewarding, even without the intimidating way about real-life situations, and I want the child to enjoy both the story Communication Program can offer." and the illustrations."

Overtime he learned the value of of publishing for a challenge. He purchased The Metropolitan Journal, a business publi­ cation in Orange County, and quickly trans­ formed it.

Even though earlier times were tough, Steve Churm (JOUR) often payroll to payroll, he had a vision and stuck to it. OC Metro, with a readership of 500,000, is now the flagship among nine magazines in Churm Publishing, including OC Family, Inland Empire Family, Las Vegas Family and several Southern Californian golf publications. His success required mastery of all sides of publishing. For this he credits Cal Poly's Mustang Daily, where he worked in sports and news and was co-editor in '76-77. He says he doesn't know where he'd be with­ out the mentoring of Jim Hayes and a fan­ tastic peer group that included Jim Sweeney and Kevin Falls. After Cal Poly, Steve worked for The Telegram-Tribune in sports and news. In the '80s he did stints at the Los Angeles Times and The Orange County Register.

Its format became the template for his ventures in the Inland Empire and Las Vegas. "Free publications like these," he said, "live by advertising and the quality of arti­ cles." Thus, he holds open houses for writ­ ers and meets with universities and com­ munity groups to identify issues. He credits much of his success to his staff's chemistry.

Our Cal Poly Fund for CLA resulted College of Liberal Arts Newsletter London Study Thrives With Endowment Funds T he College of Liberal Arts-sponsored London Study Program continues to outpace other overseas study options nationally and at Cal Poly. Twenty-three hundred participants have spent a quarter in London since the program began in 1984. This year, 140 stu­ dents attended either the fall or spring program. Jon Ericson has established a London Study Endowment One reason for the pro­ gram's popularity is its emphasis on adapting the courses offered to the city of London itself. For instance, the music course is Musical Theatre in London, which London Study continued on page 6 Wind Orchestra Tours Australia and New Zealand I n late June, the Cal Poly Wind Orchestra, directed by Bill Johnson, completed a whirl­ wind tour of the lands Down Under. Generous donors, band members and family helped to underwrite the trip to New Zealand and Australia. Opening the tour in the Symphony of Winds concert in Aukland Town Hall in New Zealand, the orchestra memorialized Larry Voss with a striking performance. Bill Johnson confided, "For 10 years, I have dreamed of having these people hear a live performance of a mature American university wind band. For many I believe it was a life-changing experience." Next, the group performed in the Michael Fowler Center in Wellington before a crowd of over 1,000 people, including a contingent from the U.S. Embassy. In Australia, the orchestra did the finale for a youth concert at the Sydney Opera House. Johnson reported that the musicians were "tech­ nically flawless." Johnson said that their best Wind Band Members Down Under concert was James Barnes' "Symphony No. 3" in the Sydney Town Hall on June 29. Between venues, the players petted koalas, faced off with 'roos, goggled a croc', feasted on Maori food and toured the cities and nearby nature reserves. David and Cordelia Rackley, Pamela Johnson, and Paul Rinzler assisted on the trip. London Study, continued from page 5 draws upon the rich tradition and availability of perfor­ mances in the area. Shakespeare in London is another popular course. Attending performances of the Bard at night, students study the text by day. All students take a class that exam­ ines the history, culture and institutions of London. Over 130 faculty have taught in the program, the great majority having come from CLA. This past year, eight fac­ ulty from Cal Poly taught in either the fall or spring pro­ gram. Also, four British instructors were added to the London faculty this year. This year London Study added an advancement program to raise money for student scholarships. Jon Ericson, the former CLA dean who founded London Study in 1984, has endowed one such scholarship. Another of the endow­ ments, the Michael Koehn Memorial Scholarship, honors a 1997 London participant who died the following year. Anyone interested in assisting with London Study's devel­ opment program should contact London Study director John Snetsinger by phone at (805) 756-5969. 6 COLLEGE of LIBERAL ARTS Upcoming Events Homecoming 2000 October 20-22, 2000 Honored Alum: Mary La Venture (Jour '77) Parade, FANS/Honored Alum Luncheon, CP vs. Davis football Open House Celebrates Poly Royal April 20-22, 2001 and CLA Career Forum April 21, 2001 Performing Arts Center College of Liberal Arts Newsletter College of Liberal Arts Honor Roll of Donors The people recorded here have brought strength to the College of Liberal Arts.
