DePauw Weekly is distributed every Wednesday morning. DePauw University offices and departments as well as recognized student organizations can submit announcements and events for the coming week to DePauw Weekly by Tuesdays at Noon.

Greetings, Seniors!

Mr. Guy Morrison Walker, lawyer and reorganization expert
(A.B., 1890; A.M., 1893; LL.B., 1891 - DePauw), made provision for the Walker Cup to be presented annually to the member of the Senior Class who shall be determined to have done the most for DePauw during his or her college course.

Selection shall be made in the following manner: Each member of the Senior Class shall vote for that member of the class (man or woman) whom he or she deems most worthy of receiving the cup and shall also indicate a second choice. From the three receiving the largest number of votes in this nominating election, a committee composed of the President and those members of the faculty who are heads of departments shall select the one to whom the cup shall be awarded. However, if in the opinion of the faculty committee no one of the three so nominated is worthy of
receiving the cup, they shall withhold the awarding of the cup for that year.

As you make your nominations, please be mindful of students that embody the characteristics of the DePauw Community Covenant: Intellectual Engagement, Unique Opportunities, Supportive Relationships and Community Engagement.

In accordance with the guidelines, please reply to studentservices@depauw.edu with the nominations (Nomination 1 and Nomination 2). Please remember, your nominations will be kept completely confidential. The due date for receiving nominations is noon this Friday, March 14. If you have any questions about this process, please call 765-658-4270.

Essay Contest: $300 Prize

"It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn."
-Victor Frankenstein

Please respond to the following in approximately 1500 words:

Human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, pre-implantation genetic screening, designer babies, organ transplantation, patented mice, cryogenics - biotechnology offers humans ever greater mastery over the biological world, our origins, our nature and our fate. Are there limits to what we should do? Are we crossing sacred boundaries with our science, assuming for ourselves prerogatives that were never meant for humankind? Or are we merely using the tools we have been given to improve the lives of our fellow creatures?

Top prize in value of $300 and other prizes may be awarded. Please submit papers to marjorielytle@depauw.edu. Entries will be judged by the Commons Project Steering Committee, consisting of faculty, staff, student, and other community representatives. The Commons Project is funded by a grant from the Metanexus Institute. Sponsored by The Commons Project at DePauw University, which is a grant-supported initiative that works toward the constructive engagement of science and religion.
