Students take leadership in building a responsible community Covenant is ‘the newest DePauw tradition’

D

ePauw students announced their work on a new covenant and a Greek

Relationship Statement during a convocation on May 4. “With your help and input throughout the past year, we have developed a statement of community principles that all of us can embrace,” Paul M. Booth ’04 told students in Kresge Auditorium. “In essence, the covenant is the epitome of who we are; it is an acknowledgement of the past, present and future accomplishments of those who embody the DePauw community.” Booth called the covenant “the newest DePauw tradition.” A covenant, a statement of principles about what kind of community DePauw should be, was one of the goals that President Robert G. Bottoms announced with the formation of the Coalition for a Responsible Community and its task forces at a convocation on March 4, 2003. The effort has come a long way in the past year. “What was once an administrative vision has now been transformed into an initiative led by students,” Booth said. Another member of the Covenant Task Force, Zachary W. Adams ’06, explained that input was secured from students in all living units, Paul M. Booth ’04 including all Greek chapters and residence halls. The covenant will be posted in public places on campus, including residence halls, and it will be incorporated into student services programming for first-year student, residence life and other programs. A member of the Greek Relations Task Force, Megan E. Casey ’04 announced the development of a Greek Relationship Statement, a “two-part document that establishes expectations for not only the Greek chapters but the University as well.” The statement covers: academics, citizenship and community involvement, member development, housing, national organization relationships and alumni/adviser support. The Leadership Task Force identified additional needs for leadership training on campus. “We excel in leadership on this campus and have many great programs available for students to learn about leadership,” Patricia J. Cooksey ’04, a task force member, said. “But we found two areas where we felt there was a need for more extensive and effective training – the first being for sophomore students, and the second for our core leaders on this campus who have a leadership position.” 2

Retiring head football coach Nick Mourouzis urges students to be persistent in their biggest game, “the game of life.”

Coach Nick Mourouzis gives address

2004 graduates should face their future with ‘Tiger Pride’

N

ick Mourouzis, DePauw’s winningest football coach over 23 seasons, spoke to 522 graduates with “Tiger Pride” at the University’s 165th commencement in the Lilly Center (indoors due to rain) on May 23. Mourouzis, who posted a 138-87-4 record prior to his retirement at the end of the 2003 season as head football coach and professor of kinesiology, was selected by graduating seniors to give the commencement address. “Tiger Pride is a personal commitment to excellence in anything you do,” Mourouzis said. He urged the graduates to have “Tiger Pride in whatever you choose to do with your life. Because, when you leave here today, you’ll be getting yourself ready to play the biggest game of all: the game of life.” In quintessential fashion, Mourouzis advised the graduates, “Your future is going to be a combination of successes and setbacks … be persistent. ‘DePauw never quits’ is the motto of our athletic department. Despite the best conditioning, long hours and positive work ethic of DePauw athletes, our teams do lose contests. But the athletes persist. Success does come again. That’s Tiger Pride.” The 2004 recipient of the Walker Cup, which is awarded to the senior judged to have contributed the most to the University during his or her four years at DePauw, also spoke and issued a challenge to fellow graduates. “Big or small, we can all make a difference. We have all learned this while at DePauw, and all left our mark on this University in some way,” Patricia J. Cooksey said. “And I hope you each remember this and continue to give back, including truly remembering what you have received from DePauw. Give back to ensure future generations can have a similar experience and continue the great traditions we have here.”

Montgomery and Chabraja Halls join Rector Village Montgomery and Chabraja are the names that will be carried by the last two of the seven residence halls in the new Rector Village. “The name of Rector Hall is one I’ll never forget,” said Darlene Montgomery Ryan ’76, who lived in Mason Hall next door to Rector Hall as a freshman and worked in the cafeteria on the lower level of Rector. On April 7, 2002, Rector Hall was damaged beyond repair in a fire. “I know the impression that the name of any building on campus leaves on the students who live and study there. Thirty years later, that building lives on in my memory, even though the building itself is gone. I want people to remember the name Montgomery and to think of it fondly when they remember their days at DePauw,” Ryan said. “I love the private rooms with the shared living and kitchen areas, like apartments, but right in the middle of campus.” Ryan, who was a mathematics and German major at DePauw, chose to name Montgomery Hall with her maiden name rather than her married name because she wanted to honor her father, Ken Montgomery, and her brother, Bruce Montgomery, who along with Darlene co-founded PharmaFab in 1994. Darlene now serves as president and CEO of the company, a contract pharmaceuticals formulator and manufacturer.

hen plans were being developed for the new Rector Village, General Dynamics Corporation Chairman and CEO Nick Chabraja was a member of the DePauw Board of Trustees. Now he and his family, including all three of his children who attended DePauw, have made a naming gift for the seventh and last residence hall in the new concept for student living at DePauw. “While serving on the board of trustees, I was a member and chair of the Student Affairs Committee. One of the priorities of that committee was the living arrangements for students, and I walked through many of the residential units,” Chabraja said. “The concept of replacing a large dormitory with a cluster of smaller, attractive buildings is a good one for students. It’s a more modern concept.” All three of Nick and Eleanor Chabraja’s children chose to attend DePauw, and all three lived in the East Quad, which included Rector Hall. And all three married DePauw graduates. They are: Michael A. and Lindsey (Hart ’97) Chabraja ’89, David N. and Laura (Chabraja ’91) Keeler ’90, and Eric J. and Nicole (Chabraja ’97) Graham ’97.

DePauw Women’s Center opens on campus

Students’ honors stretch around the world

Based on a major recommendation of the Task Force on the Status of Women, the University opened an on-campus Women’s Center in August. DePauw’s Women’s Center is centrally located at 306 Hanna Street. “This is an important step toward creating more understanding of and dialogue about women’s issues and the barriers to true equality that remain on this campus and the world at large,” President Robert G. Bottoms said. “As DePauw has become a national role model in improving its campus climate in recent years, I view the creation of the Women’s Center as another initiative that will serve to improve the University and the communities in which our graduates ultimately live, work and lead.”

Following are some of the awards DePauw students received in the spring semester: • Science Research Fellow Sara M. Smaltz ’06 is the recipient of a 2004 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, the premier undergraduate award of its type in the fields of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering. • Michael B. Knight, who completed his sophomore year in May, was one of 80 college students nationally selected by the Envision Institute to participate in the International Mission on Diplomacy in Brazil from May 23 to June 4. • In recognition of his outstanding commitment to community

Newspaper of the Year and student journalist honors The Indiana Collegiate Press Association named DePauw’s student-managed newspaper, The DePauw, the Newspaper of the Year for the 10th time in the last 11 years. Student staff members received 13 other awards for their reporting, editorial writing, photography and sports column writing. The Society of Professional Journalists also presented 2003 Region 5 Mark of Excellence awards to The DePauw and student-operated WGRE radio. The DePauw received six SPJ awards, and WGRE received two.

A record seven consecutive Future Music Educator of the Year awards The DePauw School of Music continues its winning streak. For the seventh consecutive year, a DePauw student is the recipient of the Indiana Future Music Educator of the Year award from the Indiana Music Educators’ Association, which recognizes the best and brightest in future music teachers. Andrea M. Hodges ’05 received the award this year based upon her outstanding academic achievements and activities outside the classroom. No other college or university has ever had its students win the award for so many years in a row.

involvement through service, Nicholas Dimos ’05 received the 2004 Richard J.

Yoon ’04 was awarded an international graduate study grant through the 2004-05 Fulbright U.S. Student Program and will spend a year teaching in South Korea.

All students will be required to have laptop computers An idea launched by students and faculty members at DePauw – to ensure that all students are equipped with laptop computers – is becoming a reality. The University announced plans to arrange with selected vendors (Apple and Dell) to provide the laptops, which can be bundled with software and on-campus technical support, to students at a discounted price. Students were encouraged to purchase their own laptops from the suggested vendor for use on campus this fall. By the first semester of 2005, purchase of the designated laptop will be required. The 2002 and 2001 student computing surveys indicated that more than 90 percent of DePauw students were already buying computers for use on campus, and that roughly half bought laptops.

LETTERS T O T H E E D I T O R

Editor: I apologize for the unprofessional nature of this letter, but resources are somewhat scarce here. I wanted to write you and thank you and the others for the material you forwarded to me. It is amazing to see the changes, all positive, that the University has made. I was impressed by the continued standard of excellence, which is maintained and built upon both physically and academically throughout the University. It is truly inspiring. My only regret is that my fellow officers cannot see the pride I wear being a DePauw graduate. All they see is U.S. Army. Yet another reason to be proud. – 1Lt. James G. Pradke ’93 Kuwait Editor: The recent announcement in the DePauw Magazine noting the death of John Eigenbrodt, professor of the philosophy and religion department, brought me great sadness, but also sparked wonderful memories. I was one of Eigenbrodt’s advisees in the philosophy and religion department, and his influence stays with me these many years later. I took the well-challenging Exegesis class. Eigenbrodt’s classes were always difficult, engaging and ultimately intellectually stimulating. Along with other students, I was invited into his home and also had the chance to observe his great musical talents. He was a witty, caring professor who exemplified the benefits of a liberal arts education. I am honored to have been his student. – Wendy L. Werner ’74 St. Louis

Sustaining the tradition of

faculty excellence “Faculty members model the curiosity and lifelong learning that the institution seeks to promote in its students”

Say the words “faculty development,” and most people outside of academe find it difficult to visualize what it means or why it is vitally important to teaching and learning. “At a liberal arts university, faculty members model the curiosity and lifelong learning that the institution seeks to promote in its students. If we do not have opportunities to refresh ourselves through support for research, course development, faculty dialogues and collaborative endeavors, we are ill-suited to sustain such energy and insight among our students,” explained Tamara Beauboeuf, an assistant professor of sociology and education who joined the DePauw faculty in 2001 primarily because of the level of support for continuing professional development she saw at the University. eauboeuf also has a uniquely DePauw way of describing programs for faculty members. “The faculty development programs at DePauw are the faculty equivalent of the study-abroad, Winter Term, internship and independentstudy opportunities that the University sees as critical to the intellectual and social growth of students. Having participated in both service and study Winter Term trips and supervised internships, I have seen how energized about their studies students become when they ask and answer questions through these activities,” she said. Faculty members’ innovation and engagement with students is crucial to providing the high level of teaching and learning that has benefited generations of DePauw students and served them as alumni. Although DePauw has had faculty development programs through the years, they are even more important now because the University has significantly expanded the number of faculty members to the largest in its history – from 167 full-time faculty members in 1998 to 222 in 2004. “Our faculty development programs are specially designed to provide growth and development opportunities for faculty members at all stages of their careers,” Neal B. Abraham, executive vice president, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty, said. “These programs support improvements in teaching and expansion of knowledge and expertise. Each faculty member has different needs at different times; our programs are designed to meet that wide range of needs.”

Organized development opportunities encourage faculty members to plan renewal time as part of their rigorous schedules. Faculty members commonly work 60 hours or more per week preparing for and teaching their courses, working with students outside of class, grading assignments, advising students, serving on faculty committees, participating in various University activities and maintaining professional expertise. Faculty development programs provide time and funds for them to design new courses, to enhance their teaching skills and to keep up with and contribute to progress in their fields. ome faculty members receive support to develop new courses or to revise current ones. Others participate in workshops and meet to share teaching techniques, such as the use of instructional technology for presentation and online discussions. Some faculty members explore and master new topics that they bring into their classes, and others collaborate with students on research projects. Many faculty members continue to make original and creative contributions to their fields. Teresita J. Hernandez, associate professor of modern languages (French), noted the value

S

of the programs. “We are told to think outside the box and try new things – to develop new skills and new methodologies, attend conferences and develop new courses. Many different funds are available for many different types of projects so that we can engage in a variety of activities,” she said. Faculty development programs include recognition for sustained excellence in teaching, service and scholarship, as well as support for new projects. DePauw supports 12 new, threeyear projects each year: faculty fellowships through which faculty members can work steadily on either curriculum development or scholarly and creative projects with University support

The existence of vibrant faculty development programs was key to my decision to join the DePauw faculty. At my previous institution, we were expected to rest on the laurels of our doctorate, because the assumption was that knowledge was static. DePauw’s faculty development programs impressed me because I saw faculty members at various points in their careers using its support to keep current in their fields, to contribute to the knowledge in their areas of interest, to branch out into new areas of inquiry, and to revitalize their teaching. From my experience at liberal arts institutions – both as an undergraduate and as a faculty member – I know that professors who understand their fields, who are involved in the process of knowledge construction, are better able to interest students in these areas. Such faculty members provide students with behind-the-scenes insights into the work that members of our fields do. Furthermore, because student-led inquiry and discussion are hallmarks of classes at DePauw, it strikes me that strong faculty development programs – which allow faculty members to develop and maintain a thorough yet flexible grasp of their fields of interest – are a critical precondition for such classroom dynamics. As faculty members, the better we understand our fields and their intricacies, the more we can allow our students to enter these disciplines from their own questions and not simply our own.

JEFFREY T. KENNEY Chair and associate professor of religious studies Ph.D. from University of California (Santa Barbara), 1991 Year joined DePauw: 1999 Faculty Development: • Summer projects • Professional Development Grants • Professional Conference Funds • Faculty Fellowship (2002-05) • Sabbatical (2004-05) I have used faculty development funds to promote my “Those of us who are research of religion and politics in Egypt. My new project (“Reliresponsible for teaching gion and Nation-State Building in about other cultures need Egypt: A Critical Re-evaluation”), which was funded by a Faculty to steep ourselves in these Fellowship and which is the focus of my current sabbatical, is a study of religion and cultures over the course nationalism in modern Egypt. I received faculty development funds to travel to Egypt to of our careers.” perform library research and collect books. I have used Professional Development Fund monies to gain experience in other regions of the world about which I commonly teach, Turkey and India. As a result, I now have a wealth of personal stories on which I can draw to help me, and thus my students, understand the way religion is actually lived in these countries, not just the way it is described in textbooks. My area of research expertise is modern Islam in the Middle East, particularly Egypt. My teaching responsibilities, however, are much broader. To give students an accurate picture of the diversity and complexity of Muslim societies, I need to expand my experience beyond that of the Arab world. Faculty development awards have assisted me in this. While the Silk Road Trip that I just completed (June 2004) was funded by a special Mellon grant for faculty development, it does reflect the kind of travel-study enrichment opportunity that faculty development fosters. Those of us who are responsible for teaching about other cultures need to steep ourselves in these cultures over the course of our careers. We need to develop because these cultures are constantly changing.

Jeffrey T. Kenney organized a trip in June 2004 for 10 faculty colleagues from DePauw and other colleges to explore cultures along the ancient Silk Road from China to the Middle East.

of time and money. With additional support for as many as 10 other one-year projects, in total DePauw annually supports 46 such projects. DePauw also recognizes sustained excellence in teaching, scholarship and service each year by granting three (four-year) University Professorships, three (two-year) Distinguished Professor Awards, five (five-year) departmental endowed chairs and one Exemplary Teaching Award. Forty-three faculty members carry these recognitions at any one time. ther faculty members take paid leaves to concentrate on projects to develop new courses or expand their scholarly and creative expertise. Each new tenuretrack faculty member is granted a pre-tenure leave of one semester at full pay; every seventh year, each faculty member is eligible for a one-year sabbatical at two-thirds pay; and one special one-semester leave is awarded annually for a particularly urgent scholarly or creative project. Faculty development funds provide generous support for relocation costs during these paid leaves. DePauw also has a strong program of support for professional expenses and for travel to regional, national and international professional conferences and workshops. In recent years, as many as 180 of 220 full-time faculty members gave presentations at professional conferences. The faculty development programs are supported by a coordinator, a faculty member

WAYNE E. GLAUSSER Chair and professor of English Indiana Professor of the Year, 1989 Recipient of the Minar Award for Faculty Scholarship, 1999 Ph.D. from Yale University, 1978 Year joined DePauw: 1980 Faculty Development: • University Professorship (1999-2003) • Fisher Time-Outs (one-year projects) for scholarly writing • Fisher relocation funds to support sabbatical work • Summer grant for course renewal project • Professional Development Grants to support research projects and to prepare book manuscript • Professional Conference Funds • Amy Braddock grants (an English department endowment) for summer projects in scholarly writing • Sabbatical leaves (1988-89, 1995-96, 2002-03), the last to do research and write essays for a book-length project tentatively called “Altered States.” Major publication: Locke and Blake: A Conversation across the Eighteenth Century, (University Press of Florida, Gainesville, 1998) DePauw has made great progress recently in providing resources for faculty members to keep their scholarly and creative lives fresh. I’m thinking particularly of the pre-tenure leaves now routinely offered to young faculty members only a few years after they begin at DePauw; but there are many other programs as well, including increased support for regular sabbaticals, more leaves for special research opportunities and solid support for attendance at professional conferences. My first leave came after seven years of teaching at DePauw (and nine years after my Ph.D. in all). I can’t overstate the importance of that sabbatical for renewing my professional life. I wasn’t completely burned out, but I was a lot closer than I realized. It would have been nice to have a pre-tenure leave, but I was born too early for that. With our current resources in faculty development, we have a much better chance to nurture the sort of teacher-scholar whose effectiveness and accomplishments we like to brag about. Scholarship enriches teaching, and, just as importantly, teaching can enrich scholarship. The project I’m working on now [supported by faculty development funds] arose from a class in Romanticism I was teaching a couple of years ago. One of my students mentioned a book linking 19th-century poetry and art with certain mental disorders. Our class discussions eventually led me to write about the adequacy of psychiatric and biochemical paradigms in the understanding of visionary poetry.

selected to serve as a mentor and adviser for colleagues as they search for external funding for their work, prepare applications for internal or external funding, or seek mentoring in their teaching and professional activities. Faculty members must submit applications for major faculty development awards to the Faculty Development Committee, which consists of six faculty members, the faculty development coordinator and vice president for academic affairs. Faculty fellowships, one-year project awards and summer grants for course development, scholarly projects and student faculty research are awarded on a competitive basis after strict review of proposals. After completing each project, a faculty member must file a satisfactory report of progress and accomplishments before being eligible to apply for additional support. “All of the competitive awards are reviewed by our faculty colleagues on campus, which means that the projects fit within the liberal arts curriculum. And more faculty members than ever before are applying, which also increases the competitiveness for the awards,” explained Terri Bonebright, associate professor of psychology, who is serving a three-year term as faculty development coordinator. “And it is important to note that these awards support scholarly and artistic projects, as well as teaching and curricular projects.” “Taken together, projects, leaves, teaching workshops and roundtables, and scholarly and creative presentations, DePauw’s faculty development program is a national model, widely

KEVIN S. KINNEY Assistant professor of biology Ph.D. from University of Rochester, 1995 Year joined DePauw: 1999 Faculty Development: • Pre-tenure leave (spring 2003) to do research on the effects of removal of the sympathetic nervous system on measures of immune functions in the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. • Professional Development Grants • Professional Conference Funds • Course design and teaching workshop support • Summer course development and renewal award • Summer student-faculty collaborative research awards • Co-principal investigator, National Science Foundation Grant – Collaborative Research at Undergraduate Institutions, “The Timing of Release of the Pupal Color Hormone, Pupal Melanization Reducing Factor, in Swallowtail Butterflies” with six faculty colleagues and a dozen students from four academic departments Major publication: N. Cohen and K.S. Kinney. “A phylogenetic history of neural-immune interactions,” in Psychoineuroimmunology, 3rd ed., edited by R. Ader, D.L. Felten and N. Cohen (Academic Press, San Diego, 2001) pages 279-289 I had a pre-tenure leave and a Professional Development Fund award, which combined to permit me to return to my thesis lab at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and work with Nicholas Cohen on some loose ends from my thesis. Specifically, we were able to replicate and extend earlier work indicating that removal of the sympathetic nervous system (the part of the nervous system responsible for the fight-or-flight response) resulted in an enhanced response of some immune cells to stimuli, indicating a potential enhancement of the immune response. The wonderful part is that there was one additional experiment that we never got to do: looking at antibody production in the frogs following sympathetic nervous system removal. Coming back from the leave, I was due to teach Immunology, which has a laboratory. Immunology lab has been challenging. I had been hoping to find some new approaches. I decided to try the frog antibody experiment as a class project. It would be wonderful to say that we saw an effect in the experiment, but in fact, the response was similar to previous times – indicative, but not actually significant. The students were excited, however, at the prospect of generating new information, and they did quite well in writing up the information in their lab reports. But the really happy ending came spring semester. Two of the Immunology students wanted to continue the project and worked with me this spring. Their results, using a slightly different system (to test immunologic memory), came out wonderful – very exciting data – which this fall’s Immunology class will be attempting to duplicate!

envied and studied as others try to emulate certain parts of it,” Abraham said. “DePauw arranges to have five or six of its academic departments and programs formally reviewed each year by committees of external experts. Without fail, they identify our faculty development programs and opportunities as exceptional, congratulating DePauw and urging faculty members to take note and take part.” ypical of the external assessment reports is the following observation: “Although our goal was not to evaluate individual faculty performance, the course assignments, classroom exercises, small group discussions, use of classroom technology, and the frequency of student presentations confirm that the faculty are talented, genuinely dedicated and effective in their teaching roles. Much of their success may be the result of the scholarship opportunities that many of them have received in terms of internal course development, summer stipends, faculty research and professional development grants, and Mellon grants for integrating technology into the classroom. Clearly, these resources have enhanced the effectiveness of their teaching in the past … .” That is a significant reason why other institutions contact the University seeking to model their faculty development programs on DePauw’s.

Outstanding faculty development programs revitalize current faculty members, but Abraham noted that the University’s reputation in faculty development also plays a major role in attracting the best faculty members to DePauw. For example, take the experience of Matthew J. Hertenstein, who joined the DePauw faculty in 2002 as an assistant professor of psychology and is scheduled for a pre-tenure leave in 2005-06. Hertenstein, who received a Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of California at Berkeley, was discussing his pre-tenure leave plans with his former faculty adviser at Berkeley. “I was speaking to him specifically about my pre-tenure leave, but knowing about the other faculty development programs here, he told me, ‘I continue to be amazed at the support that DePauw offers to its faculty members,’” Hertenstein said. s good as the faculty development programs are, they must be better. “In recent years, we have had more good projects than we had funds to support them,” Abraham said. “It’s always a challenge to find sufficient resources for such things as summer student-faculty collaborative research projects, faculty fellowships, summer scholarly and creative projects, postdoctoral fellowships for prospective faculty members, travel to professional meetings, as well as our awards for sustained faculty excellence.” The new courses, innovative approaches to teaching and learning, broader cultural insights and global experience that result from faculty development programs all energize academic work in and out of the classroom and ultimately

benefit students. That’s the real bottom line for DePauw faculty members.

“I have always wanted my teaching to inspire my research and the research to inform my teaching.”

Assistant professor of modern languages (French) Ph.D. from University of Georgia, 1997 Year joined DePauw: 1998 Faculty Development: • Faculty Fellowship (2002-05) – La Francophonie: Curriculum and Resources Development • Professional Conference Funds • Professional Development Grants for summer language immersion to live and study in France • Summer grants for scholarly work and course development Major publication: Travel scholarships.

Because of DePauw’s broad definition of professional growth, my own assumptions and limitations have also been lifted. I have pursued a variety of projects dealing with my areas of expertise: Francophone literature and cultures, Latino literatures and cultures, women in literature, language and cultural pedagogy. I have given presentations at international, national and regional conferences; have collaborated with colleagues from DePauw and other universities on various projects; and have kept myself current in my field by taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities available through DePauw’s faculty development programs, including my Faculty Fellowship. I have worked on different kinds of publications, from literary criticism to pedagogical instruments to translations. And while it may all seem at first very “dysfunctional,” in reality it is well interconnected. I have always wanted my teaching to inspire my research and the research to inform my teaching. I have been able to do that at DePauw. Since my arrival at DePauw, I have had the opportunity to teach courses cross-listed in women’s studies, film studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, Black studies, and in the first-year programs, many of which I have developed thanks to faculty development funds. I am particularly excited about the opportunities to link my Francophone courses to film studies and from which my students have already begun to benefit (in a First-Year Seminar in fall 2003 and French 315 in spring 2004).

When her husband died in 1976, Alice returned home and became her father’s assistant. In 1991-92, she put together her own show, performing more than 180 shows. Since her father’s death in 2002, she has done only a few shows but plans to do more in the future. Alice says she does not aspire to be the showman her father was. She is just happy to keep the family legacy alive.

Gregory E. Asbury was reunited with his college class ring after nearly 24 years. The ring was especially made with his mother’s original engagement diamond in it. He lost the ring in 1981 at McKinley Beach in Milwaukee, where the ring was found by a Milwaukee man who put it in a box. The man rediscovered the ring last March and took it to his sister in Chicago. His sister called DePauw, where public safety officer Angie Nally said she would try to find the owner. Nally was able to match the last name of the engraved signature inside the ring, which eventually led her to Gregory. Greg said, “I lost the ring, but the ring found me.” Karen Campbell Rybus and her husband, Joe, announce the birth of their twin sons, Clay and Sean Rybus, Dec. 5, 2003.
