Should doctors be genetically engineering babies? Should they proceed with clinical trials at the risk of a patient's life? Should a doctor be able to force lifesaving but painful treatment on a patient? Medicine and Morals: Your Jewish Guide Through Life's Tough Decisions hopes to answer these questions and more through lessons from the Torah and modern Western ethics. The class is provided by the Jewish Learning Institute and is offered at the Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center in classroom 160B. Classes are held on Tuesdays from 7-8:30 p.m. for six weeks, starting Oct. 26. Each of the six classes will cover a different issue of ethics in modern medicine, including patient autonomy, assisted reproduction, patient confidentiality, mental illnesses, organ donation and medical experimentation.

Visitors to the Pavilion can see the four striking four foot by eight foot photographs on the wall opposite the food and beverage kiosk.The black and white photographs depict four leaves, each from a different indigenous oak tree on campus. Kubricht gathered the leaves herself and then photographed each leaf using a high-resolution camera.
