Permaculture Information Session
ANNOUNCING: THE SEVENTH ANNUAL PERMACULTURE COURSE
CLLC L230 Permaculture: Learning through Nature
INFORMATION SESSION: Collins LLC Coffeehouse, Thursday, Feb. 12th at 5pm. (Pizza and snacks will be served)
The course will be take place from May 31st through June 14th 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 publishers 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 staying in cabins for the duration of the two-week course. The course classroom is a renovated barn, the Lazy Black Bear grounds are an inspirational site for thinking about Permaculture, and an expansive dining hall, solar shower facilities and indoor composting toilets 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 27th. The application is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~llc/academics/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, 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!

FREE PRACTICE TEST FOR INDIANA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
On February 21st Kaplan will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for students to take a free practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, and OAT administered under simulated testing conditions at the IU Kelly School of Business.
Kaplan’s Practice Test is a terrific opportunity for prospective business, graduate, law, medical and dental students to answer a critical question, "If I took the exam today, how would I score?"
Last year, tens of thousands of Kaplan Practice Test participants assessed their test-taking skills while learning valuable strategies to help them ace the real test. Since admission to LAW, BUSINESS, GRADUATE, MEDICAL and DENTAL school is fierce, a high exam score is crucial to the admissions process.
We would like to invite your students to participate in the Kaplan Practice Test Event taking place on your campus on February 21st. To register, students may call 1-800-KAP-TEST today or visit us online at www.kaptest.com/practice.
They may also contact me via email at Keely.davenport@kaplan.com
Also, I would like to inform all IU students that between now and the end of January, we are offering 100$ OFF for any Kaplan Graduate Course.
If you could forward this information to your students, that would be fantastic.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via email, or call me anytime at (812)339-0084.

LAMP Accepting Applications
Attention Freshmen and Sophomores,
The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) will be accepting applications from February 1st-March 31st.
Are you interested in majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences but also learning about business, management and leadership? Do you enjoy studying multiple points of view? If you answered “yes” then LAMP might be the right place for you. What is LAMP you ask? LAMP is an honors interdisciplinary program offered by the College of Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Kelley School of Business. It allows students the opportunity to have a major in the College but take classes in the business school that enhance management and leadership skills.

At LAMP students don’t just learn inside the classroom, we provide a wide variety of co curricular programs for students to get involved in. During any given week a student could attend a Master Class with the CEO of Clorox, have lunch with the Sudan Desk Officer from the US State Department , and attend a workshop on preparing for a career fair. We encourage students to pursue all their passions, whether that is multiple majors, overseas study, or internship experience. We are here to make sure that students can get the most out of their 4 years at Indiana University.

If you are interested in taking a class pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street, room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.
Here is some information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2008-2010/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.”

Resume submission deadline: 3/10/2009
Qualifications Include:
• Classified as a Senior
• All Degrees Considered
• US Citizen/Permanent Resident
As a Citizen Outreach Director for the Fund, you run a campaign office in one of dozens of cities throughout the country. The staff you supervise educates citizens about the issues and gets 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.
The Sierra Club is battling international timber and oil companies to preserve some of our last remaining wild lands. The Human Rights Campaign is fighting bigotry to protect the civil rights of all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation. Environment America is winning clean, renewable energy laws across the country.
At Fund for the Public Interest, we work with these and other leading progressive groups to help fight for the future of our health, our environment and our democracy. We are looking for candidates to join us as Canvass Directors and Telephone Outreach Directors.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Staff Management
* Recruit and manage a campaign staff of 10-40 canvassers or callers.
* Teach effective canvassing and campaigning techniques to staff.
* Identify strong staff and teach them to run local campaigns and develop leadership skills.
* Run staff meetings and leadership trainings.
* Arrange briefings and issue workshops to educate and motivate staff.
* Evaluate staff performance and give ongoing feedback.
Canvassing and Field Work
* Reach or exceed your office’s fundraising and membership goals. Most offices have goals of $250,000 raised and 5,000 members identified each year.
* Canvass door-to-door, by telephone or in public places (depending on the position) three times each week to train staff, raise money, identify and activate members, and educate the public on the issues.
* Oversee all administrative functions related to fundraising, membership development, campaign work and general office management.
Campaign Strategies
* Run letter-writing or petition drives to state legislators, local government, corporate boards and congressional representatives.
* Build coalitions of local and state organizations and elected officials.
* Identify local activists within state legislative and congressional districts. Organize them into networks for quick political action.
* Attract media coverage for campaigns. Send out news releases, hold news conferences and meet with editorial boards to release research, expose problems and promote solutions.
TRAINING:
Staff will participate in an intensive, paid training program for the first four weeks of the job. Trainings are held on an ongoing basis—and for students graduating this year, the training will start in July. This initial training focuses on staff management and canvassing and also includes sections on campaign strategy, media and public speaking. All staff participate in additional regional trainings and staff meetings throughout the year.
QUALIFICATIONS:
We are looking for smart, motivated, action-oriented college graduates who are interested in politics and have a commitment to public interest issues. To do this work, you need stamina. You need to be able to convey the sense of urgency and passion you feel about these issues. You need to be able and willing to work hard. You need to be resourceful on a shoestring budget. (In-depth training on issues, campaign strategies and skills is provided.)
LOCATIONS:
We are running campaigns in AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TX, WA, WI and Washington, D.C.

Often the personal issues that bring us to counseling have more to do with how we relate to others than we think.

Members will be encouraged to experiment with new behaviors, which can foster more meaningful connections with others and enhance emotional health.
HEALTHY CONNECTIONS - WOMEN’S GRADUATE AND RETURNING STUDENTS: Thursdays, 1-2:30 p.m.
This group will focus on graduate and returning student women’s issues specifically as they relate to interpersonal and romantic relationships, body image, self-esteem, empowerment, personal growth, and other personal development concerns.

HEALTHY CONNECTIONS- UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN’S: Mondays, 1-2:30 p.m.
This group is designed to empower women to gain a greater understanding of themselves and to enhance the way they relate to others.

HEALING: Mondays, 4:00-5:30 p.m.
This group is open to Black undergraduate and graduate women who have experienced sexual victimization prior to age 16.

3rd PATTEN LECTURE: Americanist Werner Sollors
The third speaker in this year’s Patten Lecture Series is Americanist Werner Sollors, professor of English and African and African American Studies from Harvard University. He’ll give two FREE lectures that will be from 7:30-8:30 p.m. in Chemistry 122. Sollors will speak on:
African American Intellectuals and Europe between the Two World Wars
Jan. 20, 7:30-8:30 p.m., Chemistry 122, Bloomington ---Americanist Werner Sollors, professor of English and African and African American Studies from Harvard University, will discuss in his first Patten Foundation lecture the period that witnessed the rise of communism and its transformation into Stalinism, the emergence of fascism, and two momentous "interwar wars," and numerous African American intellectuals that met their counterparts in Europe. Encounters include: Countee Cullen and Claire Goll (Paris), Claude McKay, Alain Locke, and George Grosz (Paris, Berlin, Moscow), McKay, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and Leon Trotsky (Soviet Union), Horace Cayton and Nancy Cunard (Paris and Hamburg), Alain Locke and the "Black Watch on the Rhine" (French-occupied Rhineland), Langston Hughes, James Yates, and the Spanish Civil War, and W.E.B. Du Bois in Nazi Germany. Common human misunderstandings create a comedy of intellectuals against the climate of political violence in interwar Europe.
’Heil, Johnny’: Billy Wilder’s A Foreign Affair: or, The Denazification of Erika von Schlütow
Jan. 22, 7:30-8:30 p.m., Chemistry 122, Bloomington --- Americanist Werner Sollors, professor of English and African and African American Studies from Harvard University, will discuss in his second Patten Foundation lecture how on August 16, 1945 film director Billy Wilder proposed "Propaganda through Entertainment" to the Information Control Division of the American Military Government in Germany, offering to make an "entertainment film," "a very special love story, cleverly devised to help us sell a few ideological items." Working with a comedy that was a Paramount Studios property, Wilder transformed it into the film A Foreign Affair (1948), starring Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich. Set against the background of ruined Berlin, the film deals with denazification and fraternization. Sollors will discuss how the Production Code Administration intervened and how reviewers responded to a movie that poked fun at what were undoubtedly serious issues.

Jan. 22, 7:30-8:30 p.m., Chemistry 122, Bloomington --- Americanist Werner Sollors, professor of English and African and African American Studies from Harvard University, will discuss in his second Patten Foundation lecture how on August 16, 1945 film director Billy Wilder proposed "Propaganda through Entertainment" to the Information Control Division of the American Military Government in Germany, offering to make an "entertainment film," "a very special love story, cleverly devised to help us sell a few ideological items." Working with a comedy that was a Paramount Studios property, Wilder transformed it into the film A Foreign Affair (1948), starring Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich. Set against the background of ruined Berlin, the film deals with denazification and fraternization. Sollors will discuss how the Production Code Administration intervened and how reviewers responded to a movie that poked fun at what were undoubtedly serious issues.

Reynolda Film Festival Information
As Director and Filmmaker Liaison of the second annual Reynolda Film Festival, we are both eager and proud to announce the opening of our Submission Season, which began this past Friday, October 31st. Open to undergraduate and graduate students, the Reynolda Film Festival is organized entirely by students for students.
WAKE TV, Wake Forest University's student run television station, is responsible for the conception of the Reynolda Film Festival. Last year, we received submissions from over 15 countries, yet we maintain a relatively small size and encourage submissions from filmmakers of any and all levels of experience. Synonymous with our mission statement, we at the Reynolda Film Festival promise to inspire, entertain, and challenge our audience and student filmmakers.
This is the Reynolda Film Festival's second year. After an overwhelmingly successful inaugural year, we are once again excited about the potential of the festival to provide undergraduate and graduate film students with an event in which they can showcase their work, network with other aspiring filmmakers, and reward their creativity with prizes that will continue their pursuit of filmmaking.
The Reynolda Film Festival aims to assist exceptional student filmmakers in receiving the recognition they deserve for their creative work. Finalists' films will be screened by a wide audience of students and faculty, industry professionals, and community members during the festival weekend. A panel of industry judges will view the best selections and present awards and prizes at the end of the weekend. Prizes will be announced as soon as the details are finalized.
Please submit your films (short or feature length) to the Reynolda Film Festival online at www.WithoutABox.com. The final deadline is January 23, 2009. Please visit our website or our Without A Box profile for more information as well as festival updates. The festival will take place from April 1st through the 5th, at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.
If you have any questions about submissions and the festival, please contact us at RFFsubmissions@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing your work!
Sincerely,
Alex Saks – Wake Forest '09
