Men's Choir to Mentor Junior High School Students

Members of the Westminster College Men's Choir and the members of the Secondary Choral Methods class will serve as entertainers, teachers and mentors at the Mucho Macho Music festival Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the North Hills Junior High in Pittsburgh.

Over 115 boys from grades sixth through ninth representing 14 schools will be attending this one-day event.  They will spend the day singing music together that is appropriate for boys in the vocal development years under the direction of O. David Deitz, from the Central Dauphin School District near Harrisburg.

 "The Westminster Men's Choir will provide male leadership and serve as role models for the young men," said Dr. Robin Lind, director of choral activities at Westminster College and one of the coordinators of this festival.

 The Westminster Men's Choir will perform for the middle school students, and then spend the day singing with them in an effort to entice the boys to continue singing into high school and beyond. 

 The members of the Secondary Choral Methods class will help with registration, observe the rehearsals, and attend the workshops that are provided for the choral directors. 

 Contact Lind at (724) 946-7278 or e-mail lindra@westminster.edu for more information.

Philosophy Professor's Article Published

Dr. David Goldberg

Dr. David Goldberg, Westminster College assistant professor of philosophy, recently published his article "A Nietzschean Solution to Ethical Relativism" in the book Existentialist Thinkers and Ethics.

"My article concerns an inherent critique of Existentialism, especially those kinds branded as atheistic Existentialism: Sartre and Nietzsche in particular," Goldberg said. "With the postmodern death of metaphysics, a position that grounds these forms of Existentialism, ethical decision making appears to become impossible as all positions seem to be equally justified. My paper attempts to offer a Nietzschean solution to this problem by examining his concept of genealogy and the significance it plays in ethical decision making."
