Abstract
RENAISSANCE MAN
As he prepares to step down as president of Creighton University, the Rev. John P. Schlegel, S.J., reflects on his 11 years in the office, how his time as a Jesuit scholastic and professor at Creighton in the late 1960s and 1970s shaped him, Creighton’s Catholic identity, the transformation of campus, the University’s partnership with the city, and his love for and commitment to the students. Page 8.
CYBER BULLYING
Students who seek to bully, intimidate and harass their classmates are increasingly turning to technology. The problem is especially acute in middle schools and high schools and has drawn the attention of the White House, various professionals and Creighton University faculty, including education professor the Rev. Tom Simonds, S.J., and law professor Catherine Brooks. Page 16.
CREIGHTON’S MYTHBUSTERS
Can you travel forward in time? Do lost cats and dogs have a “sixth-sense” that allows them to find their way home? Do the outcomes of national elections have a great impact on our daily lives? Creighton professors examine these questions and others relating to their academic disciplines. Their answers may surprise you. Page 20.
A RETURN TO VIRTUES
What makes a virtuous life? And is it even possible in today’s frenetic, me-focused society? Creighton philosophy professor Richard White, Ph.D., writes that living virtuously just might be the key to personal happiness and fulfillment. Page 22.
COLLUSION, CORRUPTION & CHANCE / COLLUSION, CORRUPTION AND CHANCE
While a dizzying variety of sophisticated new drugs have hit the market in the last decade, numerous commissions have concluded that better than half have not been proven to be effective. So, what’s happening? John A. Creighton University Professor Robert P. Heaney, BS’47, MD’51, investigates. Page 26.
