CAMPUS NEWS Emory voluntarily takes lead in cutting ozone pollution with 'Hazy Days' program Harrison tracked over 40 bills for '98 legislative session Three college faculty honored as excellent teachers Cyber-classes help professionals pursue long-distance MPH Supply and demand dictate 'banner year' for recruiting A snapshot of (a few) new humanities professors Carter Center Update Technology Source Update Rollins' Leite to receive Channel 11 award Tune in to WXIA-TV Channel 11 Wednesday, April 15, at 9 p.m. for a live telecast honoring Bernadette Leite of the School of Public Health and 10 other 11 Alive Community Service Award recipients "for their selfless devotion to the betterment of our community." Leite founded Kids Alive and Loved (KAL), a bereavement and grief support group for youth survivors of violence. The innovative violence prevention program has received national and international recognition as a model for breaking the cycle of youth violence. A case history of KAL was recently published in Health Education and Behavior (Vol. 25, 1998), the official journal of the Society for Public Health Education. British vocal group to perform on campus The Tallis Scholars, a London-based Renaissance-style vocal ensemble, will perform at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, April 18, in Glenn Auditorium. Director and founder Peter Phillips is credited with creating the authenticity of the group's Renaissance repertoire. A homogenous blend of purity and clarity of sound has made the ensemble the leading exponent of Renaissance sacred vocal music. "Sheer, luxuriant beauty-that's what it was ... Phillips filled the cathedral with such ethereal harmonies and precise polyphony it was hard to believe they were ordinary mortals," according to The Denver Post. The Tallis Scholars have recorded works by established composers such as Byrd, Tallis, Palestrina, Josquin, and Victoria and lesser-known composers such as Clemens non Papa, Frei Manuel Cardoso and Heinrich Isaac. Their recording of Josquin des Pres' Missa Pange lingua and Missa La sol fa re mi won Gramophone magazine's Record of the Year, the first ever in the early music category to win that distinction. They have toured Australia, the Far East, Europe and Japan, in addition to the United States, and have performed at such sites as the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome and the Sistine Chapel. Fenton Lecture scheduled for April 16 David Haberman of Indiana University's Religious Studies department will give this year's John Y. Fenton Lecture in the Comparative Study of Religion. Haberman, an internationally recognized scholar of the medieval North Indian devotional tradition centered in Braj, will gave a talk titled "Religious Goddess, Polluted River: Environmental Ethics and Natural Theology in India." His lecture will focus on the Yamuna as both goddess and river and will examine the contemporary conflict between religious sensibilities associated with the river and the increasing pollution of its waters. The lecture is sponsored by the Asian Studies Program and the Department of Religion and will be held April 16 in 112 White Hall at 7:30 p.m.
