Hatoon: Memorial Plaza almost finished
Continued from page 1
“thrilled” to have the opportunity to
work on the project.
“My biggest hope for what I’m
calling the Hatoon Memorial Plaza
is to give voice to Hatoon to speak
to future people,” Ponder said. “The
biggest gift we can give to people
who’ve died is to give them a voice,
so they can continue to touch and
influence people.”
Others agreed, Hatoon’s
independence, perspective and im
pact on those around her were
incredible.
“What life meant to her was just
being warm to people and friendly,
but also listening to people ... I
think that’s what was very unique
about her,” said Kerri Van Denburg,
an employee of Blue Heron Bicycles
who knew Hatoon for five years.
Hatoon stopped in the East 13th Av
enue bicycle shop almost daily, of
ten asking if Van Denburg needed
help around the store.
Kelley also remembers her 20
year friendship with Hatoon fondly.
“You wanted to help her, but in
return she started helping you back.
Bringing you flowers, noticing when
you were sad,” Kelley said. “When
you see someone that picked the
kind of life that she picked and
worked so hard to be such a
positive impact on people, it makes
you realize that we should really be
very thankful for everything and
appreciate life.”
Williams echoed Kelley’s
thoughts, saying that Hatoon in
spired him and others to reflect on
what’s important in life.
“Words are inadequate to de
scribe Hatoon ... there’s sort of a
biblical aspect to the story of Ha
toon. Those with the most often
times have the least, and those who
seemingly have the least have the
most. I’m confident that most peo
ple will not receive the outpouring
of love and care and the depth of

feeling that Hatoon received,” said
Williams. “It was just an amazing
thing ... intellectuals, everyday peo
ple, students, a lot of students; she
touched them in amazing ways.”

Bogart: Student receives credit for protest
Continued from page 1
credit for not attending class and
whether the syllabus or the profes
sor’s requirements have authority.
This term, Bogart, the Universi
ty’s only peace studies graduate stu
dent, is enrolled in The Causes and
Prevention of War with assistant
professor Jane Cramer. For gradu
ates, 35 percent of the grade is class
participation and 20 percent is from
the in-class final exam, according to
the syllabus. Bogart and Cramer
worked out a plan to make up for
missed lectures and substitute the
55 percent of the grade that he will
miss by writing a longer research
paper (25-to-30 pages instead of 20
to-25), which consists of 45 percent
of the grade for graduates.
Bogart has two other courses he
hopes to get credit for without attend
ing class, but has yet to meet with the
professors, he said.
Cramer, Bogart’s professor, said
that his previous research, current
research project and national peace
campaign make up for whatever
lectures he will miss.

“He has more background than
all the other graduate students
combined,” Cramer said.
All graduate students do their own
research and attend the lectures that
pertain to their projects, she said.
“Most of graduate school is just
an independent research project,”
she said.
But Associate Dean of the Gradu
ate School Marian Friestad said the
course syllabus, which is approved
by the Committee on Courses before
the class begins, represents the
course requirements.
“In order to get credit they must
satisfactorily fulfill all requirements
of the class,” Friestad said.
As a professor, she would advise
students against enrolling in a course
if they knew beforehand that they
wouldn’t be able to fulfill the syllabus
requirements, Friestad said.
Richard Linton, vice president for
research and graduate studies, wrote
in an e-mail that students must “meet
course requirements to the satisfac
tion of the instructor of record” to
earn credit toward a degree.
“Credits earned for research,
internships, or field work are exam
ples of activities that may not
require formal ‘in-class’ attendance
because the work is generally
done independently under the
supervision of a faculty mentor,”
Linton wrote.
Bogart’s advisor, philosophy pro
fessor Cheyney Ryan, said it is up to
the instructor how to grade students
and how much credit to give them.
“The reality is courses are changed
all the time and it’s not required to re
submit the syllabi” to the Committee
on Courses, Ryan said.
Bogart said it’s exhausting to do
outreach for five hours a day dis
cussing his three years of research
and 15 years of personal experience
in the defense industry.
“On top of that I go home and
study, do a national campaign, and I
also like to read as much as possi
ble,” he said. “I would say that this is
harder than any course I’ve ever had
in my life.”
