Attention Freshmen and Sophomores,
The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) is now taking applications for the 2010-2011 school year. The deadline to apply is March 31st. Apply online at www.indiana.edu/~lamp.
Are you interested in majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences but also learning about 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. LAMP students are drawn from the full range of majors within the College—from Biochemistry to Theater & Drama.
Students can complete either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, and many LAMP students pursue a double major.
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.
Come Learn More About LAMP at an Information Session

I'm forwarding on to you some information about the Business Career in Entertainment Club(BCEC)'s Call-Out Meeting(s) Tuesday, February 2nd, in the Kelley School of Business, Room BU 211 at 8:00 pm and Wednesday, February 3rd in the Kelley School of Business, Room BU 109 at 8:00 pm.

We provide phenomenal networking opportunities as well as experience with campus events and talking to industry professionals in order to prepare our members for the future and to help make their dream jobs become a reality. Just a brief background on myself and how the BCEC helped jump-start me towards my dream career path: I had always wanted to work in the music industry but did not have a strong enough resume and experience to stand out in this competitve field. I joined the BCEC, set up an internship interview with Atlantic Records, and through my hard work in the club was rewarded with a contact who was a former BCEC member working at Atlantic at the time. When I went in for my interview, I found out that this contact had given me a reccomendation, and this ended up being one of the catalysts for eventually landing this internship. The BCEC gave me the experience and confidence I needed to stand out in my interview. Whether you are interested in sports, music, film/television, arts administration, or PR/Marketing, the BCEC will help you gain the valuable skills you need to succeed in these fields.
The Business Careers in Entertainment Club is here to provide you the resources to land your dream job. Our mission statement is "The Business Careers in Entertainment Club (BCEC) seeks to provide ALL undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of academic degree, with the essential career development mind-set and hands-on experience vital to obtain professionalentertainment networking connections, internships, and job opportunities within both the creative and business end of the entertainment industry."

ROOTS FRUITS & JAMAICAN ECOLOGIES:PERMACULTURE INITIATIVES IN THE BLUE & JOHN CROW MOUNTAINS (Summer I. 2010)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This interdisciplinary service-learning course (3-credits, 6-weeks) is a partnership between IU, the Jamaica Conservation and Development Trust (JCDT), and the Bowden Pen Farmers' Association in eastern Jamaica. Permaculture is a systems-thinking design approach meant to create sustainable, productive, and ethical ways of living. Permaculture design systems mimic ecological patterns and relationships found in nature while providing edible, multi-functional landscapes, renewable energy sources, "green" housing and sustainable cultural practices. Class sessions at IUB provide students with an understanding of: 1) basic permaculture design principles; 2) cultural practices in rural Jamaican communities; 3) ecological characteristics of mountainous regions in the Caribbean; and 4) the ways in which humans (re)shape local environments through farming and other activities. In Jamaica students will participate in permaculture and service-learning initiatives associated with park management, sustainable agriculture, cultural heritage, and ecotourism projects. The seminars given in Jamaica with conservationists, park rangers, farmers, community leaders, herbalists, spiritualists, poets, and musicians, place further emphasis on the ROOTS and the FRUITS of indigenous agricultural, environmental, and cultural practices.

January 22 underground screening
Reprising a screening from last Fall, this Friday underground will be showing a selection of shorts by renowned filmmaker and Emerson College professor Robert Todd. While he has no characteristic style, his work is always diffuse, elliptical, and suggestive, its effects based on implication rather than explanation. His films are fixtures on the national and international experimental film festival circuit.
************************
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
room251 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.

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.”

Haiti Relief Effort at IUB
Dear CLACS faculty, students, and friends:
As the day has worn on, our awareness of the magnitude of the catastrophe in Haiti has grown. It is almost inconceivable: possibly “hundreds of thousands” dead in the area around Port-au-Prince, the city and most of its buildings destroyed. A proud and long-suffering people has been struck down once again.
We must help them survive and move forward. And we must also be sensitive to the needs of our own Haitian and Haitian-American student population here at IU. Some of them still do not have word about their family members in Haiti. Please lend a helping hand where possible.
From this moment, we have declared CLACS a collection site for Haiti relief items. During our normal business hours, in our Center at 1125 E. Atwater Ave, we will be receiving materials to be sent to Haiti. We are still working on identifying the best way to get such items to Haiti; if we can’t partner with an organization working out of Indianapolis or another nearby city, we will use limited CLACS funds to mail boxes to organizations in Miami or D.C., where relief flights will be ongoing.
I spoke with a relief worker this afternoon, and she informed me of these priority items: Wound dressings and bandages; rehydration packets; Chloroquine (anti-malarial); non-perishable foods (Peanut butter, crackers, canned items, for instance). Obviously, most of us do not have these medical supplies on hand, but we do have food. And if some of you could make calls to Bloomington Hospital or the IU Wellness Center, perhaps we could get some of these medical items donated as well.
As the days and weeks pass, these immediate needs may shift. We will keep you informed of priority items. We see this as a long-term effort; we cannot allow the immediacies of the moment to obscure the broader reconstruction effort as well.
In the meantime, for those of you who prefer to make monetary donations to organizations with operations already on the ground in Haiti, we have compiled a list of links, from which you may choose. Just as soon as we can, we will also create a link to these from our CLACS webpage.
Our Instructor of Haitian Creole, David Tezil, particularly recommends the International Firefighter Association, at www.ifarelief.org.
Also, within two hours of Tuesday's 7.0 magnitude earthquake, musician Wyclef Jean and his organization Yéle mobilized on social networking sites to raise funds for disaster relief. Jean is encouraging people to text "Yéle" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund, or to visit http://www.yele.org/.

Looking for some great 300-level Culture Studies courses?
There are still seats available in the following Asian American Studies courses. All are 300 level courses and carry culture studies credit:
AAST A300 Topics in Asian American Studies (3 cr.) CSA
Topic: Social Problems in the Health and Wellbeing of Asian America
RTV 180 at TR 1-2:15 p.m
Instructor: Fernando Ona
The primary objective of the course is to engage students with selected aspects of the emerging
canon of scholarly literature in Asian American Studies, specifically social and health problems
that face Asian America. Students will critically examine the nature and characteristics of social
problems in health and well being that Asian Americans experience, and engage with theoretical
frameworks for understanding such social problems. They will also have the opportunity to
review potential solutions to these issues and discuss current approaches to public health
interventions that attempt to address these challenges. The course adopts a case study approach
and incorporates a community-based participatory research module and process as the basis of a
course research project.
This course will also provide many opportunities for students to link personal experiences to the larger
collective facts of “Asian America,” from the local to the global. Additionally, a service-research
project to examine the experience of Asian Americans in the Midwest will take place during the semester.
This will provide students with the opportunity to conduct a mini-research project that attempt to address
social and health problems that Asian Americans experience. Students will be required to participate in
analyzing and writing reseatch data into a potential peer-review publication to be submitted at the end
of the semester. The course will shed light not only on the multi-faceted nature of the Asian American
experience, but also on the conflicting and simultaneous trends within the field of Asian American Studies.
AAST-A300 Topics in Asian American Studies (3 cr.) (CSA)
Topic: Playing with Difference: Popular Cultures of Asia in America
Instructor: Karen Inouye
Section: 30920
TR 11:15a-12:30p BH233
This course examines how and why Asian cultures have become so prevalent in American popular culture. Topics include Hong Kong cinema, anime, so-called fusion cuisine, video games, martial arts, and yoga. This course is joint listed with AMST A350.
SOC S342 Asian American Communities and Identities (3 cr.) (CSA) (S & H)
Instructor: Jennifer Lee
TR 2:30P-03:45P BH 330
This course takes a sociological approach to examine the histories, experiences, and cultures that
shape Asian American communities and identities. Using materials from academic articles and
books, as well as popular films and novels, students will first review the history of Asian
Americans in the United States in order to situate the Asian American experience within broader
social and historical contexts and to highlight the diversity of Asian American communities and
families. Then, students will examine the experiences of second and higher generation Asian
Americans in order to address questions about who is viewed as American and how Asian
Americans establish and maintain their ethnic identities. For one of the papers, students will get
the option of writing something creative, perhaps a short story or a poem or two. Students will
create their own Asian American literature!

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.

NEW GRE COMING IN 2011
Entrance exam to feature new questions, scoring scale
by Shaeera Tariq
GWU Hatchet
Issue: 1/11/10
The Graduate Record Exam, the entrance test for many graduate schools, will be revamped and lengthened in 2011, the Educational Testing Service announced in December.
Calling the changes "the largest revisions" in the history of the GRE, the Educational Testing Service said at the annual meeting of the Council of Graduate Schools in December that the changes will "make the GRE more pleasant."
The objective of the revised GRE is to improve the test in hopes that graduate school programs can assess the capabilities of a student more accurately.
The changes are drastic. The types of questions are different, calculators will be permitted, a new scoring scale - from 130 to 170 - will be put into effect, and the test will be lengthened to three and a half hours. The test was previously three hours.
"The smaller range in the scores, [from] 130-170, is designed to better assess differences between test takers instead of magnifying small differences," GW's Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies and Academic Affairs Dianne Martin said.
The current GRE scoring scale runs from 200 to 800, with 10-point increments that only represent one additional correct answer. The new scoring scale will have one-point increments.
The revisions will affect all sections of the test. The verbal reasoning section will no longer contain questions dealing with antonyms and analogies, which promote extreme memorization of vocabulary, especially among international students. These types of questions will be substituted with reading comprehension exercises.
"The biggest difference is that the prompts the students will receive will be more focused, meaning that our human raters will know unambiguously that the answer was written in response to the question, not memorized," David G. Payne, head of the GRE program for the testing service, told The New York Times.
Martin said the new test would be "a better indication of the actual English comprehension as well as reading comprehension of the test taker [because] memorizing will not help."
Senior Emily Leik, who recently took the GRE, said that the new changes are being made to "modernize the GRE because it is becoming outdated for many programs."
Leik said she believes the old version, with its heavy use of multiple choice questions, does not fully calculate her ability to work with public policy, her intended specialization in graduate school.
"The ETS is a business," Leik said. "Their efforts to reform the GRE to be more relevant to graduate programs will lead these programs to place an emphasis on the exam, leading more people to take the exam, and buying ETS studying materials as well."
