Gwosdz wins $7,500 scholarship
By Colet Coughlin_
Contributing Writer
Thanks to her extensive knowl-
edge of math, Carol Gwosdz will be
paying a lot
less tuition
next year. She
won the Barry
M. Goldwater
Scholarship,
which awards
excellence in
education, fo-
cusing on the
Gwosdz areas of the
natural sciences, engineering, and
mathematics.
A panel of science professors
consisting of Dr. Jack Towne, Dr.
Frank Doe, Dr. Richard Olenick, and
Dr. Charles Coppin selected four
students from the University of Dal-
las for the 87,500 scholarship.
Gwosdz was the only one who ap-
plied and was accepted.
Ironically, Gwosdz did not begin
her studies as a math major. “I nev-
er considered math as a major until
I took math classes.
“When I realized I didn’t have to
take any more math classes, I real-
ized I’d really miss it,” she said. Cal-
culus I and Calculus II changed
Gwosdz’s perspective and helped
her earn the scholarship.
The scholarship is intended to
help students who wish to pursue
graduate work in the natural scienc-
es, engineering, or math. Premedi-
cal students are ruled out of consid-
eration, as the scholarship is direct-
ed towards those who wish to do
research.
A total of 1,186 students were
nominated nationwide from 530
post-secondary institutions. Only
316 college sophomores and juniors
were awarded the scholarship by the
foundation’s board of trustees’
The Barry M. Goldwater schol-
arship and Excellence in Education
Foundation have held the competi-
tion for 10 years. The program was
begun to pay tribute to Senator
Goldwater.
The scholarship covers up to
87500 for tuition, fees, books and
room and board. Gwosdz intends to
use the money towards her senior
year expenses.
Local rock-climbing gym provides
relief for stresed-out students
Dennis White looks down from one of the many climbing towers
at Stone Works in Carrolton.
By Spencer Canon_
Contributing Writer
Some say rock climbing is like
chess for adrenaline-junkies; some
say it is an art form- and some just
climb for fun.
Rock climbing is by no means a
new sport-its virtues were enjoyed
by many of those who helped form
our Western tradition. The Roman
Emperor Hadrian, for example,
climbed up the escarpments of
Mount Etna in 104 AD. In the 14th
Century, Petrarch often climbed in
Provence. And in 1426, the first
climbing school was established at
a monastery in France.
Following in the footsteps of
these great men so that we might
share with the rest of the UD com-
munity the beauty of climbing, the
author invited first-time climber,
Dennis White to serve as an exam-
ple of what heights a UDer might
attain.
Our destination: Stone Works
Climbing Center, the world’s tallest
indoor climbing gym. Many UD stu-
dents regularly climb at Stone
Works to relieve some academic
anxiety. And after just a ten minute
drive up 1-35, Dennis and I arrived
ready to test our strength and stam-
ina on climbs well suited for a wide
range of abilities.
Before any actual roped climb-
ing was done, Dennis was instruct-
ed by the staff in the proper use of
climbing ropes and other safety pre-
cautions.”
“The atmosphere was comfort-
able and inviting...much like a can-
dle- light dinner for two where
you’re both wearing blue jeans,”
Dennis said.
After learning the ins and outs
of climbing safety, Dennis was ready
to spend an enjoyable half-day ex-
ploring the wonderful world of ver-
tical traveling.
Stone Works houses the world’s
longest indoor climbing routes. Up
to 100 feet high, these climbs often
prove to be an adrenaline produc-
ing challenge.
“The thrill of accomplishing the
highest indoor climb in the world
was as exhilarating as passing an
Organic Chemistry test!” Dennis
said after completing one of these
routes.
As to the beauty of the simplici-
ty of this thrilling but safe experi-
ence, Dennis stated that “climbing
can be extreme, but from my expe-
rience climbing at Stone Works, the
essence of extreme is preserved
even in the presence of the protec-
tive life-line which links me to my
climbing partner.”
Dennis believes that rock-climb-
ing—at Stone Works or in the out-
doors—is an ideal activity for those
University of Dallas students who
feel the urge to participate in a
unique &nd uplifting past-time
which is missed by most.
Let Dennis be an example to all.
Hear his words: “In my attempt to
relieve massive quantities of stress,
climbing has been a choice activity.
I would cordially invite anyone to
participate in this life fulfilling ad-
venture. And dude, it’s a rush!”
West, Wood debate HegePs ideas
continued from page 1.
Hegel was that he rejected a host of
Christian beliefs, such as the resur-
rection, or the incarnation of Christ.
In his reponse to West, Wood
said that Hegel did not, as West im-
plied, “trample on innocent philos-
ophers,” nor prove so hostile to
Christianity, since being human
“carries in some sense the image of
God.”
In his reply, West stated that
Wood had wrongly given the impres-
sion that Hegel was an orthodox
Christian. “Hegel’s treatment of
Christianity subordinates religion to
philosophy, makes faith an uncon-
scious image of the truths of philos-
ophy, and in the end dismisses
Christians as stupid rubes,” he said.
The debate was scheduled to be
held in the Gorman faculty lounge.
Due to an unexpectedly large crowd,
it was moved to room A.
Wood said that he was pleased
with the results of the discussion,
and that it helped to clarify the dif-
ferences between his view of Hegel
and West’s. West, said Wood, tend-
ed to take a more political focus.
West said that in taking an aca-
demic approach, Wood had missed
the more controversial “hard edg-
es” of Hegel which made his philos-
ophy questionable.
