Greenpeace Field Organizers are driven, articulate, strategic, and able to quickly and effectively inspire a community to challenge their member of Congress to stop global warming. Each organizer will plan and implement a community-based campaign to mobilize the public and work with Congress to make global warming a legislative priority.
Specific responsibilities include:
Recruit and train campaign volunteers and key coalition partners
Plan and execute global warming education and outreach events
Generate media coverage on the issue of global warming
Build relationships with Congress to ensure long-term action
Implement other tactics to pressure congressional targets to become champions
Quickly develop knowledge of global warming issues
Education:
BA/BS Degree preferred or equivalent experience.
Skills and accomplishments:
Demonstrated leadership experience
Able to inspire a diverse group of people
Strong communication skills including public speaking, written and oral
Critical thinking and time-management skills
Able to keep a level head in a fast-paced campaign environment

February 29th Underground Film Screening
Hello all, this week we're presenting another installment of Alan Berliner's experimental documentaries. PLEASE NOTE that this week's screening has a special start time of 8 p.m., rather than our usual 7 p.m. time.
*************************************************
Following up on our Berliner double feature in the Fall, we present two more of his smart and sensitive autobiographical documentaries. _Wide Awake_ (2005, 78m) uses both metaphor and candid first-person observations to illuminate how an obsessive mind that won't shut down at night leaves him feeling “jet lagged in his own time zone.” In _The Sweetest Sound_ (2001, 60m), Berliner dives headfirst inside the American name pool in search of the treasures and dangers hidden inside his own name, convening a dinner at his house of a group of men, all named Alan Berliner. A film that starts out in search of identity slowly transforms into a meditation on mortality.
*************************************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Homeward Bound 5K Walk
Did you know that on a given night 18,000 Hoosiers are homeless? Or that over 20,000Monroe County residents live below 100% of the federal poverty level?
Homeward Bound is a statewide 5k walk sponsored locally by the city of Bloomington and Indiana University. 100% of the funds raised by this annual event go to benefit thirteen local non-profit agencies which serve people experiencing homelessness in Bloomington with services such as shelter, food, childcare, and emergency assistance. This year's walk--to be held Sunday, April 6th--will be Bloomington's fifth annual walk. Since 2003, Homeward Bound has raised over $250,000 for agencies—funds upon which those agencies depend to keep their doors open.
This year the CMCL Department has its own team and will participate in the walk—we invite all majors, minors, staff and faculty members to join!
Not interested in raising funds? That's okay! We want everyone to come help raise awareness and show solidarity against poverty, regardless of whether money is raised by the participant.
To join, please go to www.homewardboundindiana.org, sign up for an account and join our team (Communication and Culture Department)!
If you have any questions or would like more information, please email homeward@indiana.edu.

Automatic-W Deadline for Full Semester Classes
The deadline for dropping full-semester classes with an automatic grade of W is Wednesday, March 5th.
If you are dropping a class and NOT adding a second eight week course to replace it, then you can drop the class on Onestart using the eDrop system.
There are a couple of different scenarios for students who are dropping a class and adding a second eight week course to replace it:
1. if you will drop to part-time status when you drop the class (fewer than 12 credit hours), you will have to use the paper late drop/add slip to drop and add the classes. If you drop the class online and fall to part time, you will incur very large fees if you subsequently add a class to go back to full time. If you are on the full time/part time border, USE THE PAPER DROP/ADD SLIP TO AVOID FEES. The slips are available in the Recorder's Office in Kirkwood Hall 001.
2. if you will NOT drop to part-time status when you drop the class (fewer than 12 credit hours), you can go ahead and drop the class using the eDrop system. You cannot add second eight week classes online - for that, you must pick up a late add slip from the Recorder's Office in Kirkwood Hall 001.
Questions? E-mail me at tkauf@indiana.edu.

The Indiana University School of Medicine Office of Gift Development is seeking a motivated undergraduate or graduate student to serve as the project manager for the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center’s “Faces of Cancer” ribbon campaign, a segment of the “In Your Lifetime” fundraising campaign.
In late August 2008, the IU Simon Cancer Center will be opening a new, expanded patient-care facility. As part of the facility’s grand opening festivities, the IUPUI campus will be blanketed with 5,000 ribbons, each bearing two names of individuals affected by cancer. Goals of the ribbon campaign include (1) encouraging statewide awareness about the “In Your Lifetime” fundraising campaign; (2) generating media interest in the IUSCC’s grand opening and (3) collecting e-mail addresses to be used for various IU Simon Cancer Center e-solicitations in the future. For more information about the ribbon campaign, please visit http://cancer.iu.edu/help/waystogive/lifetime/ribbon.php
The project manager will work in a highly independent, flexible environment and be charged with the following:
- Managing the database generated by the ribbon website to track areas of Indiana and the nation represented by names on the ribbons
- Recruiting and managing volunteers who will place the ribbons in the ground in mid August
- Partnering with IUPUI Campus Facility Services to successfully execute the placement of the ribbons
- Coordinating the post-ribbon campaign e-solicitation
This position is unpaid and would begin in early May and end in September or October. The hours worked each week will fluctuate, but note that the position will require a significant commitment in August. For more information about this opportunity, please contact Amber Kleopfer Senseny at akleopfe@iupui.edu or at 317-278-4510.

February 15 Underground Film Screening
Hello all, this week's underground screening is a marvelous post-Valentine's Day presentation, the notorious 3 hour+ anti-epic, _Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles_ (1976). Note that this film has never been released on video in this country, so take this chance to catch up on classic 1970s cinema with your sweetheart.
*************************************************
A classic of both feminist and experimental filmmaking, Chantal Akerman's marathon dissection of the life of Belgian housewife/mother/prostitute Jeanne Dielman (Delphine Seyrig) stays on the surface of the details of Jeanne's humdrum daily life, as if it were a real-life, real-time documentary of an ordinary life. Playing with feminist film theory’s critique of the masculine spectatorial gaze, Akerman crafts a cinematic experience that is rapturous, critical, and desolate all at once.
*************************************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

Lost Film Fest at Collins
Collins will once again be hosting the Lost Film Fest at Collins this coming Tuesday, the 19th, from 8-10 pm, in the Coffee House. It's free and open to the public. Here's more info on the fest:
The Lost Film Fest from West Philadelphia is a traveling multimedia spectacle incorporating live performance and video clips from folks like The Yes Men, Guerrilla News Network, and The TV Sheriff. It's a truly independent, anti-authoritarian, anti-corporate grassroots DIY media extravaganza. The road show incorporates a sexy, smash-it-up, radical anti-capitalist anti-globalization perspective. Truly "Too Hot for TV" since 1999, the LFF has featured scathing and hilarious social commentary in the form of narrative shorts, documented pranks, hot amateur protest footage, and video re-mixes. This jam is about smashing the illusions cast by Hollywood, the Pentagon, and FOX News.

Jobs with the Fund The Fund for Public Interest Research was founded over 20 years ago to build support for public interest organizations to preserve the environment, protect consumers, and improve the quality of our government. Since then, the Fund has grown into the nation's leading citizen outreach network, working with some of the top progressive groups in the country, like the Sierra Club, the Human Rights Campaign, and the State PIRGs. The Fund has taken this bottom-up approach to the campaigns we've run, and we've won quite a few. We've won campaigns to clean up air pollution, protect our forest wilderness, reform political campaign finance, stop illegal polluters, protect gay rights and more. By going door to door, calling supporters, and meeting with people one-on-one, we've built the kind of political support that even the most entrenched politicians can't ignore. • Canvass Director As a canvass director for the Fund, you run a campaign office in one of dozens of cities throughout the country. The staff you supervise educate citizens about the issues and get them involved in campaigns to win progressive change. In essence, you build a team of committed activists, who, in turn, mobilize hundreds or thousands of citizens to take action. • Telephone Outreach Project (T.O.P.) Director Through telephone outreach, progressive organizations are able to reach, inform and mobilize thousands of citizen supporters. Directors of the Fund's Telephone Outreach Projects recruit and manage a staff of 20 to 30 articulate, committed people in order to raise funds and activate citizens over the phone. • Donor Staff As a Donor Development Associate, you develop deeper relationships between the state PIRGs and their members and, in so doing, motivate donors to give more to support the PIRGs' public interest research and advocacy. You call current members, ask them to meet with you one-on-one, and then engage them in conversations that often last an hour or more, helping to solidify support that may last a lifetime

City Lights/Underground Film Screening
City Lights and underground are bi-weekly film programs devoted to, respectively, classical and experimental cinema. Join us for our screenings in the Radio/Television Building, Room 251, every Friday at 7:00 PM.
February 8: Liebelei (Max Ophuls, 1933, 88 min.)
One of Max Ophuls first films he directed in Germany before fleeing to France to escape the Nazis. In Liebelei a young philandering army officer, trapped in a loveless affair with the wife of a strutting baron, falls in love with a shy young seamstress but cannot escape repercussions of his past. Based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler, Liebelei contrasts the obsession with appearances and social decorum of high society with the rash sincerity and energy of youth in a style more visual than verbal.
The feature will be accompanied by Mabel and Fatty Viewing the World’s Fair at San Francisco (Keystone, 1915) (9 min.) and Mabel’s Dramatic Career (Keystone, 1913) (14 min.). These two wonderful films showcase Mabel Normand and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle in their most well known form, slapstick, with a turn towards documentary/biography in both.

Announcing the Sixth Annual Permaculture Course
CLLC L230 Permaculture: Learning through Nature
Above class is a 2 wk field course in the Hoosier National Forest
Carries N&M credit
http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
Information session: Collins LLC Coffeehouse, Thursday, Feb. 21st at 7pm. (Pizza and snacks will be served)
The course will be take place from June 1st through June 15th at the Lazy Black Bear Retreat Center in Paoli, Indiana (located about an hour south of Bloomington and surrounded by the beautiful Hoosier National Forest). The course will be run by me and taught by Peter Bane and Keith Johnson, two of the best Permaculture teachers in the country. They are former residents of the Permaculture eco-village Earthaven and are the editors of the Permaculture Activist, the only Permaculture magazine in North America.
Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.
Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or cabins for the duration of the two-week course. Classes will be held in a renovated barn, and indoor composting toilets and solar showers facilities are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 28th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition rate, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!

Permaculture, for those who know little about it, is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.
Students who complete this course not only get three hours of IU credit, but also receive their certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Participants will be camping outdoors in tents or cabins for the duration of the two-week course. Classes will be held in a renovated barn, and indoor composting toilets and solar showers facilities are available (as well as ponds for swimming, forest for hiking, gardens for eating, and campfires for gathering around for music and conversation in the evenings). Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 28th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/permaculture.shtml
This website provides further information about the course and has pictures from previous years. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition rate, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials. Any one wanting to know more about the course is welcome to email me at dhaberma@indiana.edu. Relish this day!
