GOSHEN, Ind. É Sylvester Outley knows the harsh realities of drug addiction and street life, but he also understands the power of transformation. Once one of the ten most wanted criminals in Texas, Outley, a 1969 Goshen College graduate now is founder and director of SELF Inc., one of the largest drug rehabilitation programs in Philadelphia, Pa.

Outley, along with Ed Î57 and Theo Hartzler Yoder Î58 of Archbold, Ohio, and Kathleen Zehr Î40 of Lowville, N.Y., will receive Goshen CollegeÎs most prestigious alumni award Ë the Culture for Service Award, named after the collegeÎs motto Ë during Alumni Weekend Oct. 4-6.


Outley will talk to students and the public in a convocation at 10 a.m. Oct. 4 in the collegeÎs Church-Chapel; his speech is titled øFaith Works.Ó During the convocation, two Goshen College students will receive Barnabas Servant Leadership Awards for their on- and off-campus service to others.







By age 30, Outley had been arrested 86 times for drug involvement and swindling, and was eventually sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in 1955 Ë years of paradox which he later said were dehumanizing, yet gave him self-understanding, allowing him to transcend drugs and gain meaning in life.







He earned his G.E.D. and graduated from Goshen with a social work major. He earned masterÎs and doctorate degrees before founding the Socio-Emotional Learning and Family Center in Chester County, Pa., a therapeutic residential program for criminals, as well as Outley Professional Services, an outpatient drug and alcohol facility in Philadelphia, which became SELF.







SELF now has a $4 million annual budget, encompassing emergency shelters, peer outreach, transitional housing and community revitalization programs. More than just sobriety training, SELF teaches that addicts must use the basic life principles of love, respect, truth, honesty, care, compassion and forgiveness to rebuild individual lives.

I'm doing a biography on an American poet. I could just write a straight biography, however, my teacher said it would be pretty boring if I did that. Therefore, I need to find creative ways to pass along the biographical information.

So far I have: Letters, Journal Entries, Certificates, Announcements, Diplomas, Invitations, Newspaper Articles, Book Reviews, Travel Itineraries, Post Cards, Crossword Puzzles, Family Trees, Annotated Photographs.

Do you have anymore ideas?

I just discovered a paper from my 7 yr old's daughters school saying she was going to be screened for the "Gifted Child" program. I'm excited for her but also what can I expect to happen now. I have never heard of this program, has anyone been thru this? Is there a special class she will have to attend. Thanks.

All mathematics is derived from basic axioms, such as a=a for all a, a+b=b+a, etc. These are not theorems, so if evolution shouldn't be taught because it is only a scientific theory, then shouldn't it follow that no science at all should be taught, nor mathematics even?

I am from a small town in the coal regions of Pa. Going back, many years, each small town had it's own schooling system. Then close to the '70's several small towns joined together to form a district. For a few days, after searching for my particular town school, all I can bring up is the district !! I need to find the yearbook before the district was formed. This seems as tho it should be simple and not sure if I am overlooking something, or just running out of ways to get search results. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm an extremely brilliant 8th grader and on my way to high school. I want to study law at columbia university. I come from a poor family, so i need a scholarship. what should i do in high school to get it? I know it's kind of too much to hope for, but I have mostly A's in school and I think I might have a chance.

I would really appreciate any advice that anyone could offer to me; I know I am a little too young but I think it is good to get a head start on things.
