Pass/Fail Deadline for First Eight-Week Courses
Friday, September 7th by 4:00pm is the last day to sign up to take a first eight-week class pass/fail.
If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (the new CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork (however, please note that I will be out of the office on Monday, September 3rd).
Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/coas/2006-2008/student.shtml#pass): “During the four years of their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is open for a maximum of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, and the requirements for credit hours at the 300-400 level). It may not be used to satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences’ general education requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student’s concentration area, nor may it be counted toward completion of a minor or certificate program. The course or courses may be used to meet the requirement for courses at the 300-400 level.”

Personal Growth Groups Offered by Counseling and Psychological Services (CaPS) for Fall 2007
For more information call 855-5711.
ANGER MANGEMENT
Mondays, 1:00-2:30 p.m.
If you have gotten into trouble due to anger or are afraid that you will, this is the group for you. In this group, you will learn where anger comes from, what it means and what you can do to control it. This is an open ended group. Members may join at any time provided space is available.
UNDERGRADUATE INTERPERSONAL
Wednesdays, 3:00-4:30 p.m.
Thursdays, 3:00-4:30 p.m.
Often the personal issues that bring us to counseling have more to do with how we relate to others than we think. These groups will help members explore the relationship between their interpersonal style and their emotional well-being. Members will be encouraged to experiment with new behaviors, which can foster more meaningful connections with others and enhance emotional well-being. Participants in past undergraduate therapy groups have said that the following are some of the most helpful aspects of these groups: learning how I come across to others, learning that I’m not the only one with my kind of problems, receiving the support of others who can relate to my problems, learning to express my thoughts and feelings more openly/honestly.
RELAXATION
3 sets of dates (see below)
The ability to relax our minds and bodies is one of the most useful tools that we can cultivate in our self-care toolbox. It has proven effectiveness in combating the effects of stress, anxiety, and numerous physical maladies. This three-week group will teach the basics of relaxation techniques and help participants practice them. Limited to 14 participants. First group offered on 9/18, 9/25, and 10/2 from 2:00-3:15 p.m. Second group offered on 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23 from 10-11:15 a.m. Third group will meet 10/31, 11/7, and 11/14 from 2:30-3:45 p.m.
DISORDERED EATING
Tuesdays, 1:30-3:00 p.m.
Are you struggling with food or body image? Join the Eating Concerns & Body Image Group. Any woman struggling with body image or eating issues is invited to join this group. Our group will provide a safe environment to meet with 5-8 other women who share similar difficulties with body image, binge eating, purging, restricting, laxative use, and over-exercise. Over the semester, this group will explore their eating habits, but also interpersonal difficulties that can contribute to eating problems such as stress, depression, family and other relationships, assertiveness, and expressing emotions. The goal of this group is to help women develop a deeper understanding of their eating and body issues and to establish new ways to challenge old habits. An initial consultation is necessary.
STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE
Fridays, 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Drug and alcohol use can have a number of unintended consequences. Sometimes students are aware of them, sometimes not. If you are interested in exploring your drug and alcohol use in this non judgmental atmosphere so you can better make up your own mind about the risks and benefits, please call.
To Reserve a Spot in a Group:
Advisors and students call 855-5711 for further info or to set appointments.
(Note: The student initially schedules an intake interview with a counselor. If the two of them decide a given group would be helpful, the counselor would formally enroll the student in one of the groups.)
Fees for Group Counseling:
-- Charged at a rate ½ that of individual counseling. Group sessions usually cost about $9.
-- Two free sessions each of fall and spring semesters, one free session each summer term. (The two free sessions can be comprised of individual and / or group sessions. The client does not get two of each free.)

Research Stipends in Practical Ethics for Undergraduates
The Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions announces Research Stipends in Practical Ethics for IUB undergraduates. The stipends of up to $200 each will be awarded to as many as ten undergraduates for use in research in the area of practical ethics. Projects should address theoretical and applied dimensions of a moral issue in public life. Possible projects might include, but are not limited to, political ethics, environmental policy and ethics, biomedical ethics, research ethics, journalistic ethics, corporate responsibility, sexual ethics, and the like.
The Poynter Center
The Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions is dedicated to studying a broad range of ethical issues in American public life. Interdisciplinary in aim, the Center uses the full resources of Indiana University to initiate research and teaching across traditional academic boundaries.
The Poynter Center promotes moral deliberation about developments in science and technology, the provision of health care, the aims of higher education, the duties of corporate responsibility, and the challenges of democratic life and culture. Critical reflection about the meaning of rights, community, justice, diversity, power, and virtue provide the more general terms for much of the Center’s inquiry.
Research in Practical Ethics
Students at IU Bloomington who are conducting research in practical ethics for a class or honors project in Fall 2007 or who are planning to do so in Spring 2008 may apply by September 28, 2007, for a research stipend. Awards will be announced by October 19, 2007. Successful applicants will present a 20 minute presentation or paper at the Poynter Center in the fall of 2007 or spring of 2008 as a part of the project. Successful applicants will be invited to Poynter Center lectures during the academic year. Reimbursement for expenses will be made to the student’s Bursar account by the IU Foundation after the presentation at the Poynter Center.
The stipend is available to assist students who will be participating in capstone courses, honors projects, and similar research projects. The application process is in the fall semester for fall or spring semester courses/projects.
Please contact Glenda Murray, glmurray@indiana.edu or 855-0262 if you have questions. See the web site for information about previous recipients, http://poynter.indiana.edu/Research%20Stipends.shtml. See the application below.

Comments from previous students:
Becca has helped me through a year and one-half of math. I don't know how I would have survived without her help. She has clarified many previously fuzzy concepts and prepared me for numerous exams and has helped me raise my grade from a borderline pass to the A-/B+ level. She is extremely patient and with Becca there is no such thing as a stupid question! She is absolutely fantastic, no one is better. I would recommend her highly. ~K.B.
Becca was EXTREMELY helpful, the best money I ever spent. She taught me three chapters, a total of 24 lessons, in one hour. It took my AI 4 weeks to teach this. ~B.M.
While working with Becca, my confidence in the material went way up. Becca evaluated my areas of difficulty and focused our sessions on developing those skills and reinforcing key concepts. When I began working with Becca, my math grades soared. They improved in a few weeks from "D's" to "A's" and "B's". Becca built my confidence, has a kind correcting nature, and always leaves you feeling optimistic (which is priceless if anyone has been in the position of not understanding something they will soon be tested on). ~J.G.
Becca’s passion for math, her compassion for her students, and her availability earn Becca a 10/10. ~Anonymous student teaching evaluation
My grade on my final exam was an A- after previously getting C's and D's. ~N.A.
Becca was by far the most helpful teacher I have had here at IU. She was enthusiastic about the material. ~Anonymous student teaching evaluation
Becca was great. My friend and I were talking afterwards and we said that we wanted to switch into her section. She explained things much better than our teacher, who is the course coordinator. ~(student in a class Becca substituted for)

Comments from previous students:
Becca has helped me through a year and one-half of math. I don't know how I would have survived without her help. She has clarified many previously fuzzy concepts and prepared me for numerous exams and has helped me raise my grade from a borderline pass to the A-/B+ level. She is extremely patient and with Becca there is no such thing as a stupid question! She is absolutely fantastic, no one is better. I would recommend her highly. ~K.B.
Becca was EXTREMELY helpful, the best money I ever spent. She taught me three chapters, a total of 24 lessons, in one hour. It took my AI 4 weeks to teach this. ~B.M.
While working with Becca, my confidence in the material went way up. Becca evaluated my areas of difficulty and focused our sessions on developing those skills and reinforcing key concepts. When I began working with Becca, my math grades soared. They improved in a few weeks from "D's" to "A's" and "B's". Becca built my confidence, has a kind correcting nature, and always leaves you feeling optimistic (which is priceless if anyone has been in the position of not understanding something they will soon be tested on). ~J.G.
Becca’s passion for math, her compassion for her students, and her availability earn Becca a 10/10. ~Anonymous student teaching evaluation
My grade on my final exam was an A- after previously getting C's and D's. ~N.A.
Becca was by far the most helpful teacher I have had here at IU. She was enthusiastic about the material. ~Anonymous student teaching evaluation
Becca was great. My friend and I were talking afterwards and we said that we wanted to switch into her section. She explained things much better than our teacher, who is the course coordinator. ~(student in a class Becca substituted for)

New International Ambassador Group Seeking Ambassadors
We are starting an International Ambassador Group in the Office of International Admissions, in order to better serve our prospective international students as they go through the admission process at IU Bloomington. Therefore, we are seeking enthusiastic international students (but we will also consider Americans with international experiences), who would be great ambassadors of IU and can assist in some of our outreach efforts. These outreach activities may include live Web chats, phone-a-thons, focus groups, email buddies, and more, and involvement will be on a voluntary basis with a commitment of 2 activities and monthly meetings throughout each semester.
We are holding an informational session next Tuesday, August 28th at 7:00 p.m. in the Maple Room of the IMU.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Candice Progler (cprogler@indiana.edu) or Melissa Gonnerman (mgonnerm@indiana.edu).

Cardinal Stage Company Seeks Theatre Production and Management Interns
Cardinal Stage Company is dedicated to advancing professional theatre in Bloomington. Operating out of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, and additional theatrical venues in Bloomington, Cardinal launched it’s first season with an acclaimed production of Our Town -- “a show that connects viscerally with its audience - merging Our Town into our town... a powerful opening statement for the new Cardinal Stage Company.” (Herald-Times) In partnership with Indiana University, Cardinal returned this past fall with a well-received production of Vaclav Havel’s Unveiling. The production transferred after a sold-out Bloomington run to the Ohio Theatre in New York’s Soho district – “rich with detailed delights and well directed throughout, the laughs abound” (nytheatre.com). Cardinal’s holiday production was A Year with Frog and Toad – “a magically realized production” (George Walker, WFIU) and “thought-provoking, visually inventive, yet universally appealing theater” (Herald Times).
As Cardinal’s prepares for its holiday 2007 production of the musical Oliver!, and the other shows that round out the fall season, the company seeks two interns to provide production and/or arts management support. This is a great opportunity for those interested in a professional career in theatre, whether on stage, behind the scenes, or in an arts management / administrative capacity. Selected candidates will gain hands-on experience and increase their skill set by working alongside a seasoned leadership team dedicated to producing world-class work.
The internship opportunities are non-paid but as Cardinal Stage grows, the company plans to offer paid apprenticeships in the near future and successful interns will be considered strongly for these new positions.
Individuals will be encouraged to work 10-12 hours per week with a varied and flexible schedule. Interns will begin working in early September and continue through December with an option to renew for a second semester 2008 or a summer position. Indiana University course credit may be available for select students for the internship positions and Cardinal is committed to mentoring interns and recommending them for professional theatre opportunities nation wide in conjunction with our vast network of professional contacts in the arts.
Cardinal Stage is looking for undergraduate students (freshmen – seniors) with the following skills and interests:
Production Intern
Experience or interest in directing, stage managing or behind the scenes production
Ability to follow directions and work autonomously as well as on a team
Time management and multi tasking abilities
Willingness to try something new and learn new skills
Ability to drive and access to a car a plus
Maturity and positive attitude required
Management Intern
Experience or interest in marketing, public relations, or theatrical management
Computer proficiency in Word, Excel (desk top publishing and database programs a plus!)
Ability to follow directions and work autonomously as well as on a team
Time management and multi tasking abilities
Willingness to try something new and learn new skills
Ability to drive and access to a car a plus
Maturity and positive attitude required
Interested candidates should send resume and cover letter to Caroline Dowd-Higgins caroline@cardinalstage.org by September 7th. Selected applicants will be notified about interviews by mid September.

Internship Opportunity with Canyon Cinema
Canyon Cinema
San Francisco, California
Canyon Cinema is an organization of filmmakers dedicated to the support, promotion, distribution, and preservation of motion picture film as an art form. It was founded in 1967 as a grassroots organization to educate the public about an emerging independent American film culture. Canyon began with forty films by twenty-five members who were committed to the necessity and possibility of film artists having an active role in the exhibition, distribution and promotion of their own work.
In the forty five years of its operation, Canyon Cinema has become one of the world's leading distributors of experimental and independent film. At present, we have 330 members worldwide and distribute more than 3,600 films and videotapes. Despite Canyon's dramatic increase in scale, we remain a democratic, artist-run organization committed to the principles upon which Canyon Cinema was founded.
The inventory of films distributed through Canyon Cinema traces the history of the experimental and avant-garde filmmaking movement from the 1930's to the present. Through the distribution of work by young as well as established filmmakers, Canyon Cinema remains a vital force in the future of film culture.
Canyon Cinema is seeking the help of intern(s) to assist in all of its day-to-day operations. Interns shelve and organize the 3500 title circulating film library, run errands, help maintain the Canyon Cinema website, aid in 16mm film inspection, and attend to the vital watering of Canyon Cinema's plants. Canyon Cinema also puts on exhibitions and interns will be involved in helping with these exhibitions. Most interns enjoy the atmosphere, share an excitement about independent and experimental film, and welcome the opportunity to be surrounded by it.
For information contact Dominic Angerame, Director at 415-626-2255 or email films@canyoncinema.com

NEW! Distribution Listings by Semester
Good news: the Recorder's website now lists all distribution courses (A&H, S&H, N&M) by semester. See http://www.indiana.edu/~college/undergrad/distribution.shtml for the fall 2007 lists.
Other special course lists (eight week courses, Intensive Writing, Culture Studies, Topics) are on the Registrar's site at http://registrar.indiana.edu/specialcourse.shtml.
Other special course lists (eight week courses, Intensive Writing, Culture Studies, Topics) are on the Registrar's site at http://registrar.indiana.edu/specialcourse.shtml.
Still Looking for a Topics Course? Consider COLL-S 103 Leadership: Mind, Body and Spirit - Lessons from the Aspen Idea
COLL-S 103 22065/22066 (2 sections) Leadership: Mind, Body and Spirit – Lessons from the Aspen Idea (Pugh) (A&H) (3 cr.)
4:00 PM – 6:20 PM W OR 1:00 PM – 3:20 PM W
This is an introductory course to the study of leadership. It provides each student with an opportunity to attain a deeper understanding of effective leadership using, as a foundation, the concept of the Aspen Idea which reflects the fusion of body, mind and spirit. This Idea underlies the internationally known leadership programs at the Aspen Institute, materials from which will be adapted to this course. The course introduces the leadership triad composed of situational, personal and skillful dimensions. Aspen, Colorado is used as a case study for identifying significant lessons of leadership by examination of the mining, skiing, intellectual and cultural aspects of the Aspen experience. We study this confluence of thought, creativity and action that resulted from a renaissance and re-birth after World War II as the Tenth Mountain Division veterans and the University of Chicago proponents of classical authors came together in a place of majestic physical beauty. The combination of theories, research studies, and real life experiences permits students to discover and identify principles of leadership which will form the basis of their own personal leadership plan as well as a foundation for vision, achievement and success in life. The course is taught with personal attention to no more than twenty students in a weekly extended time seminar format.
Note: COLL-S courses are traditionally reserved for Hutton Honors College students and are therefore a bit more challenging than the typical College Topics classes, as well as being more intimate (limited to 22 students per class). This particular course was recently opened up to ALL students, even those not in the Honors College, so feel free to sign up for it.

Need an N&M or a Topics Class? Consider COLL-S 105 Computability and Logic
If you are still looking for an N&M and/or a Topics course for the fall, here's one that meets both N&M and Topics requirements. Please note that this is an honors-level course: you do not have to be part of the Hutton Honors College to take the course, but undoubtedly it will be more challenging than the regular E103/E104/E105 Topics courses.
Honors Computability and Logic (COLL)
S105 26291 Lawrence Moss
TuTh 2:30-3:45pm
The theory of computation is one of the most important intellectual developments of the first half of the twentieth century. From very slender roots, a tree blossomed in the 1930's whose fruit is the development of computers as we know them. But the same tree contains thorns, as it were; these are the 'negative results' which talk about computer programs that we can never write, and true sentences which we can never prove. These results are often taken to imply fundamental limitations on what human beings can know. They are on a cultural par with other developments that came at roughly the same time: the uncertainty principle in physics, and even with Freud's notion of an unconscious which cannot know itself.
The course will be an entry point to both the mathematical theory of computation, and also to discussions of the place that the theory occupies in broader intellectual discourse.
The 'math' aspect of the course presents the theory of computation and a bit of logic related to it. Students will write programs in a new language called 1#, and learn theory by reasoning about their programs.
A math or computer science background is not really needed (but of course it would help). It is more important to enjoy solving puzzles and to be willing to immerse yourself in the world of abstract thinking. For example, would you like to write a computer program to do something "weird", such as output itself?
The course will also look critically at the uses of results and metaphors from computability theory that have found their way into cognitive science, philosophy, biology, and other areas. This will involve readings of either survey papers or popular ("Scientific American" style) articles. The idea would be to present debates as to whether the uses of computability theory are genuine or spurious.
The class will have weekly homework on the technical material. Some of the homework will involve short writing assignments. The non- technical part of the course requires two papers.
The course will be a non-traditional mathematics course covering the basic results of the theory of computability. It has several special features:
* It not only covers the results, but it delves into the interpretation of them in areas like linguistics, philosophy of mind, and biology. Students will have to write papers on these topics, for example.
* The technical material will involve a new pedagogic approach that I am developing here. In effect, students will write programs in a new computer programming language designed especially for the theoretical work. You can find more about this part of the course at www.indiana.edu/~iulg/trm.
* The course will be run as a seminar, with a limited enrollment and with lots of student participation. The course will be taught at an honors level, so it will be a challenge -- but one where people will learn things on several different levels.

Film Indiana
From Greg Waller, Chair of CMCL:
I want to let you know about the plans for Film Indiana, the upcoming conference sponsored by CMCL with funding from a New Perspectives grant and from the College of Arts & Sciences. Here's the link:
http://www.indiana.edu/~filmindi/home.html
The conference is scheduled for Sept 14-15 and will include three public screenings of films from IU's impressive (and under-appreciated) archival film holdings. The Friday evening screening at the Fine Arts auditorium will feature historic erotica from the Kinsey; the Saturday afternoon screening at the Wittenberg auditorium will feature rarely seen Hollywood shorts from the David Bradley Collection, and the Saturday evening screening at the Buskirk-Chumley will feature a series of 1940-1950s films from the vaults of IU's world-class collection of instructional films.
We have two first-rate keynote speakers, Tom Gunning and Haidee Wasson, and I am delighted to announce that Jim Naremore has agreed to give a paper on his Kubrick research. It should be a excellent event, with no overlapping sections, plenty of screenings, ample time for conversation, and at least one very nice reception. I invite you to attend.
