Great Way to Get Involved on Campus
The Emerging Leaders Toastmaster's Club sponsored by the Office of Mentoring Services and Leadership Development will have its FIRST CALL OUT MEETING for the semester on Monday January 14, 2008 at 7:00 PM in State Room West.
If you haven't come to a meeting before, be sure to not miss this one and discover for yourself if this is an organization that may be beneficial for you. The Toastmaster's Club is a terrific organization that will help you enhance and improve your listening and public speaking skills, speech delivery and leadership development. Commit to your future success by joining us January 14th in the Union for a meeting you won't soon forget.
Included below is a brief description of Toastmaster's International.
What is Toastmasters?
From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. The nonprofit organization now has nearly 220,000 members in 11,300 clubs in 90 countries, offering a proven – and enjoyable! – way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills.
Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved.

Interesting Upper-Level Elective for Spring: Depicting Landscape
FINA U401: Special Topics in Studio Art (3cr.), Section number 28233, Meets M, W, 9:30-10:45, FA 007
"Depicting Landscape" is a new course for students interested in understanding how our contemporary landscape was created. It focuses on streets, roads, and highways, their history, and their social effects on the natural environment and on people's relationships with each other. Students will take a number of field trips, do a number of small projects, and produce, as their final project, an artist's map which both analyzes the landscape and presents it as an aesthetic object. In addition, students will learn Photoshop and GIS (Geographic Information Systems).
The course is taught by faculty member Laurel Cornell, who has a background both in demography and in landscape architecture. She is committed to active learning, to social action, and to enhancing to each student's specific interests, skills, and strengths. The syllabus is posted at Oncourse, or email Professor Cornell at cornell@indiana.edu and she will send you a .pdf of it. Depicting Landscape is a 400-level course (and there is also a graduate section) but no previous background in fine arts is required or expected; even students who are unfamiliar with visual methods of learning can do well in this course.

2008 Eerie Horror Film Festival Call for Entries
The 2008 Eerie Horror Film Festival, Screenplay & Video Game Competition has officially opened its call for entries and is currently seeking submissions from all over the world!
Submission categories for the 2008 Competition includes Horror Feature, Horror Short, Science Fiction Feature, Science Fiction Short, Suspense Feature, Suspense Short, Student(10 - 17 yrs of age) Horror Feature; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Horror Short; Short Length Screenplay; Feature Length Screenplay; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Feature Length Screenplay; Student (10 - 17 yrs of age) Short Length Screenplay, Video Game Concept, Video Game in Production, Completed Video Game.

Through the decades, these films, stories and most recently, video games, have entertained and thrilled audiences around the world and continue to grow in popularity to this very day, slowly but surely gaining the appreciation and respect that they deserve.
There is an incredible amount of talent in this field that goes unnoticed and unappreciated and The Eerie Horror Film Festival hopes to reverse that trend.

Dick), Sean David Morton (Joe Killionaire), Len Kabasinski (Swamp Zombies), Jamien Snow (author), Greg Lamberson (Slime City), Debbie Rochon (Hellblock 13), Michael Stanley (Attack of the Beast Creatures), Leonard Lies (Dawn of the Dead), Jim Krut (Dawn of the Dead), Pam Sutch and many, many more!
The 2008 Eerie Horror Film Festival will feature even more special guests, bigger prizes and lots o' mayhem and will take place in October of 2008 at the Erie Playhouse in Erie, Pa.
