Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness and their responses to such incidents. Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective. Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy, Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of higher education should take to ensure their students' safety. The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

"Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not suitable for children. No tickets are required. The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards." ---------- Notice #10 ---------- top Leadership on the Line William Datz <bdatz@wlu.edu> The leadership seminar series continues tomorrow, Nov 3, at both 12:15 and 6:30 PM in Room 214 of Elrod Commons. This session is based on the recent book by Ron Heiftez & Marty Levin. To lead is to live dangerously; for all its passion and promise, its excitement and rewards, leading can be risky and dangerous work. Why? Because real leadership - the kind that surfaces conflict, challenges long-held beliefs and demands new ways of doing things - causes pain... and when people feel threatened, they take aim at the persons pushing for change. This approach to adaptive leadership provides a survival strategy for putting ourselves on the line, responding effectively to risks, and living to celebrate our efforts. Please feel free to bring your lunch or dinner. Questions? Please call 458-4045. ---------- Notice #11 ---------- top Tonight!

Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness and their responses to such incidents. Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective. Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy, Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of higher education should take to ensure their students' safety. The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

MOMIX repeatedly blurs the fine line between illusion and reality with mind-blowing inventiveness; athletic dancers fool the naked eye with an amazing array of black-light illusions, acrobatic choreography and fantastical props. The troupe of performers takes arabesques and pirouettes beyond the limit in performances that a New York Times critic recently noted, "defy the impossible." Limited tickets are available for the Best of MOMIX and can be purchased online at lenfest.wlu.edu or by calling the Box Office at (540) 458-8000. ---------- Notice #5 ---------- top Yumiko Mikanagi, Griffith Visiting Scholar in Politics Lynda Bassett deMaria <bassett-demarial@wlu.edu> Yumiko Mikanagi, Robert S.

The title of her lecture is "Prince to Tyrant: What Changed Henry VIII?" This lecture is co-sponsored by Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the Department of History. ---------- Notice #7 ---------- top Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity" Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu> Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not suitable for children. No tickets are required. The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards." ---------- Notice #8 ---------- top Leadership on the Line William Datz <bdatz@wlu.edu> Today, Nov 3, at both 12:15 and 6:30 PM in Room 214 of Elrod Commons, the leadership seminar series continues. This session will focus on the recent book by Ron Heiftez & Marty Levin, "Leadership On The Line". To lead is to live dangerously; for all its passion and promise, its excitement and rewards, leading can be risky and dangerous work. Why? Because real leadership - the kind that surfaces conflict, challenges long-held beliefs and demands new ways of doing things - causes pain... and when people feel threatened, they take aim at the persons pushing for change. This approach to adaptive leadership provides a survival strategy for putting ourselves on the line, responding effectively to risks, and living to celebrate our efforts. Please feel free to bring your lunch or dinner. Questions? Please call 458-4045. ---------- Notice #9 ---------- top Kindle DX reading devices available for checkout Julie Knudson <jmknudson@wlu.edu> The Information Desk in Leyburn Library has two Kindle DX readers available for checkout.

President Eric Hoffman called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. 2. The EC met with the SFHB ad hoc Review Committee to discuss ways to improve the SFHB. 3. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 7:01pm. 4. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:25pm. 5. Hoffman informed the EC of his discussion with Dean Dodson earlier this week regarding making procedural improvements to the University Board of Appeals. They discussed ways to engage current UBA members in the process to clarify their current procedures. The EC also discussed preparing a written proposal for reforms and suggested changes to the UBA. This will be an ongoing process over the next few months. 6. IFC President Garrott McClintock came to discuss ways to improve the SFHB. McClintock spoke in his individual capacity and made clear that his views did not necessarily represent those of every fraternity. 7. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 8:38pm. 8. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:56pm. 9. Hoffman discussed logistics for the Reasonableness Project, an information-gathering project to solicit accounts from students about their interactions with local police. The goal of the project is to present a comprehensive report of these accounts to city and county leadership so that any problem areas regarding police reasonableness can be addressed. Hoffman informed the EC that he will present further logistics details, such as questions to be asked and ways to solicit student information, at the next EC meeting. 10. The EC discussed the idea of having an on-campus center to care for intoxicated students, so that local police could bring intoxicated students to campus for care instead of making arrests for Drunk in Public violations. The idea stemmed from comments raised at the Alcohol and the Law Forum a few weeks ago, in that a main reason why local police make DIP arrests is because there is not a local center for intoxicated persons to receive supervision. In response to an idea suggested by Dean Watkins, the EC decided to research information from peer institutions about this issue to investigate any benefits or consequences from adopting this model. Scott Centorino, Bill Larson, Jill Morris, Kenneth Hopkins, Austin Branstetter, and Scott McClintock will spearhead this for the EC. 11. Vice President Scott Centorino reported that the Dormstorm Taskforce is working with Facilities Management to set up a viewing of the Powerpoint presentation regarding the 10-year-plan and student housing. 12. The Amicus Bovis Project (Hoffman) announced that he and Dining Services met with a representative from the Roanoke Chick-fil-A. Hoffman informed the EC that the Project is waiting on a response from the Chick-fil-A corporation regarding beginning discussions for an agreement. 13. Hoffman announced that he met with Teri Cugliari, Assoc. Director of Student Activities and Greek Life, and proposed that the EC to work with her Office to create an online location where students can fill out a single form to seek both Student Body Recognition and recognition from the Office of Student Activities. Once organizations have completed the joint form, they will still need to be approved respectively by the EC and the Office of Student Activities, but will be able to fill out one streamlined application form. The EC approved of this plan. 14. Hoffman proposed an amendment to the White Book, which the EC unanimously voted to pass. The proposal is available below. White Book Amendments must pass in two consecutive meetings to go into effect. 15. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 9:20pm. 16. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 9:40pm. 17. Hoffman adjourned the meeting at 9:40pm. White Book Amendment: The Pledge Current Text, p. 3: "During orientation every student must sign a White Pledge Card. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been through an orientation program on the Honor System, understands the contents of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System." Proposed Change, p. 3: "During orientation every new student must sign the Honor Book. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been through an orientation program on the Honor System, has received a copy of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System." Rationale: The 2009-2010 EC has replaced the process of having new students sign pledge cards with the process of having new students sign the Honor Book. This amendment serves to memorialize this change in the White Book to accurately reflect current practices. ---------- Notice #18 ---------- top EC Business Meeting *Today* William Bruce Larson Jr. <larson.w@law.wlu.edu > The EC will have its regular business meeting at the EC office in Early Fielding tonight at 7:00pm.

"Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not suitable for children. No tickets are required. The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards." ---------- Notice #7 ---------- top Violence on Campus Symposium Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu> The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness and their responses to such incidents. Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective. Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy, Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of higher education should take to ensure their students' safety. The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Patricia Colliton <collitonp@wlu.edu> Smile! Grinning, even if you don't feel happy, releases serotonin in the brain, instantly lifts your mood and makes you feel better. Plus, smiling people are viewed as sincere, attractive, and sociable. Simplify your life. Unburden yourself of possessions that lock you in the "rat race" of earning more money to pay for more things you don't really need. Spend time and resources on things that add real meaning to your life. Exercise regularly. Physical activity produces "feel good chemicals" (endorphins) in the brain, which promote satisfaction and well- being. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise, most days of the week. Maintain your health. The healthier you are, the more likely you are to be happy. Eating right, exercising, getting preventive care, and reducing your stress level can all enhance health and happiness. ---------- Notice #18 ---------- top Math Problems of the Month Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu> Win cash prizes for solving math problems!

His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems. The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics Department. ---------- Notice #7 ---------- top Violence on Campus Symposium Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu> The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate Institutional Responses on November 6th, 2009 from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness and their responses to such incidents. Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective. Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster strikes.

"Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not suitable for children. No tickets are required. The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards." ---------- Notice #4 ---------- top Johnson Lecture Series Features Harvard Economist Wendy Lovell <wwlovell@wlu.edu> Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems. The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics Department. ---------- Notice #5 ---------- top Violence on Campus Symposium today Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu> The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Frances Lewis Law Center is proud to present our 2009 Symposium: Violence on Campus: Students Who are a Danger to Self or Others and Appropriate Institutional Responses today from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Violence on college campuses, whether in the form of student suicide or a student endangering the lives of others, is an all too common phenomenon. In the wake of these tragedies, institutions of higher education come under intense scrutiny for both their preparedness and their responses to such incidents. Our symposium will explore what the fields of psychology, medical science, and law can teach us about these tragedies and will attempt to gauge a consensus on appropriate institutional responses. The morning will lead off with Gary Pavela, author of Questions and Answers on College Student Suicide: A Law and Policy Perspective. Ensuing discussion will concentrate on students who are a danger to themselves and examine interventions that campus personnel might make to identify at-risk students and help them before disaster strikes. The afternoon session will be keynoted by Lucinda Roy, Seung-Hui Cho's English tutor at Virginia Tech and author of No Right to Remain Silent. The following panel will focus on students who pose a threat to others and the steps that institutions of higher education should take to ensure their students' safety. The Symposium will be held Friday, November 6th at Washington and Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia. The event will take place in the Millhiser Moot Court Room from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided at 11:45pm. The Symposium is free and open to the public.

Philosophy Lecture, November 12, 5:30 Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu> Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen’s University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November 12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar’s talk is “Why Reparations?” (see abstract below). Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps not as ‘reparations’ are sometimes characterized by opponents of the very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how they can be employed to help us understand the basis of African-American claims to reparations for slavery. This talk is free and open to the public. ---------- Notice #10 ---------- top Student Shopping Shuttle to Kroger/ Walmart this Saturday Amy Richwine <arichwine@wlu.edu> The W&L student shopping shuttle is available each Saturday!

African Sculptures and Masks at Leyburn Library Yolanda Merrill <merrilly@wlu.edu> Leyburn Library has on display a selection of wooden sculptures and masks made by the Dogon people in Mali. All works are original, pre-19th century pieces. Mr. Tom McNemar has graciously lent these pieces, which will be viewable until the first week in January. Accompanying the display are books on the Dogon culture, an animist religious society of cliff dwellers along the Niger River. I encourage you to take a look at these amazing works. ---------- Notice #3 ---------- top Flournoy Playwright Festival: Staged Reading of "Scarcity" Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu> Join Killeen King '12, Cody Beauchamp '10, Jeni Prichett '12, Kevin Mannering '10, Linnea Bond '11, Keaton Fletcher '13 and Catherine Carlock '10 in a Staged Reading of "Scarcity" on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. There is a Talkback with Lucy Thurber immediately following the reading. "Scarcity" contains adult content and themes, and is not suitable for children. No tickets are required. The Reading of Thurber's "Scarcity," directed by Rob Mish '76, focuses on a small, isolated town in Western Massachusetts. The Lawrence family struggles with poverty, boredom and lost potential. Into their lives comes Ellen, a highly educated, wealthy and well-traveled young woman who wants to give back to her country through education. She teaches in the public school system where Billy and Rachel Lawrence go, and she develops an obsession with Billy's intelligence, insight and potential. Her obsession and desire to lift Billy out of poverty tears the family apart. Director Mish says, "This play brings a relevance to the W&L and the Rockbridge county communities as it could easily take place right here. If we would simply open our eyes and ears we might notice some things that could happen in our own back yards." ---------- Notice #4 ---------- top Johnson Lecture Series Features Harvard Economist Wendy Lovell <wwlovell@wlu.edu> Richard Freeman, holder of the Herbert Ascherman Chair in Economics at Harvard University, will address the W&L community at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9 in the Millhiser Moot Court Room at the W&L School of Law. His talk, entitled Can the U.S. Restore Shared Prosperity After the Financial Meltdown?, will explore the implosion of Wall Street and highlight the weakness of the U.S. capitalist system of relying on the wisdom of finance, trickle-down economics and the virtues of greed to provide stable growth for all. According to Freeman, the shift in income distribution from the middle class to the super-wealthy has created a form of crony capitalism that may strangle efforts to rebuild an economy that works for us all. The lecture will examine the problems facing U.S. workers and business in recovering from the meltdown and ways to overcome those problems. The talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by the Johnson Lecture Series, the Shepherd Program and the Economics Department. ---------- Notice #5 ---------- top Law School Mentors Needed!

Property for 4 Grant Kent Lewandrowski <lewandrowskig10@mail.wlu.edu > If you are looking for renting a property next year, the current residents of 23 1/2 North Main St are NOT re-signing our lease for next year. Known to some as "Top Shelf", the property is above Pappagallo and Cindy's Salon right in the town center (it is the building exactly across the street from Macados). It has been completely renovated in the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a 2-3 minute walk to campus. There are 2 full bathrooms, washing room with new washer and dryer, full sized kitchen, FOUR bedrooms, one large living room, and another room roughly the size of a bedroom which is well suited for keeping social gatherings in. There is also separately a very large "Bar-style" area, with a full L-shaped bar, with plenty of space behind it for tending, and stools for patrons if desired, or to just knock one back after work or for a nightcap. Rent is currently $1800 a month, and includes utilities, water, trash service at your door, etc. Only things that you have to set up in your name would be internet and TV if you so choose. The landlord is great and lives and works right in town as well ,he is a WLU alumnus and is very lenient on doing what you want to do with the place, and doesn't come over to check on things often unless asked to come for help. If interested, then let me know and I can set you up in contact with him. He would like to find people as soon as possible, and I am sure is very willing to negotiate the rent prices as he wants to close a deal fast.

It has been completely renovated in the last 3 years and features very new appliances, look and feel, and is a top-quality living spot, especially with its location literally a 2-3 minute walk to campus.

Philosophy Lecture, November 12, 5:30 Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu> Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen's University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November 12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar's talk is "Why Reparations?" (see abstract below). Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps not as 'reparations' are sometimes characterized by opponents of the very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how they can be employed to help us understand the basis of African-American claims to reparations for slavery. This talk is free and open to the public. ---------- Notice #7 ---------- top Music Business Seminar on Friday, Nov 13 @ 3:30 Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu> The Music Department is hosting a Music Business Seminar on Friday, November 13th at 3:30-5:00pm in the Wilson Concert Hall.

Of those, 8 percent, or 1,802,000, are women. As of a year ago, there were 2,583,000 living World War II veterans, but that number is now about 14,000 fewer. Even so, nearly 40 percent of our veteran population is 65 or older. And, as Veterans Day approaches, take time to thank a veteran for his or her service to our nation. For without their sacrifice and willingness to give their lives in our defense, America today would be a far different place. Time that passes can never be recaptured, and the time will come when it is too late to express those thanks. And, in the case of the generation of veterans I grew up with - those who served in Vietnam - who knows, it might just be something no one has ever said to them before. To all who have served, from World War II, to Korea, to Vietnam, to Kuwait and Iraq and Afghanistan, and everything in between, you have my appreciation, my esteem, and my thanks. -Brian K. Finnicum editor of The News Observer. ---------- Notice #22 ---------- top MESA BRASILEIRA: BATE-PAPO Ana Pinto-Bailey <pinto-baileyac@wlu.edu> MESA BRASILEIRA, sponsored by the Clube Brasileiro.

President Eric Hoffman called the meeting to order at 7:00pm. 2. Amy Heard, class of 2013, came to the EC to discuss her idea for a new student organization. The organization, modeled after a program at her high school, would accept students' used textbooks and then distribute books out for the next semester to students based on how many they contributed to the exchange. 3. Hoffman presented language to be used to solicit student accounts of interactions with the local police for the EC's Reasonableness Project. The EC will create a page on its website for students to easily submit these accounts. 4. Secretary Bill Larson met with Dean Watkins for the Student Safety First taskforce to discuss the feasibility of establishing a safe location on campus where students can be taken by local police instead of being arrested for being drunk in public. The taskforce will solicit information from other schools about how they handle similar matters. 5. Vice President Scott Centorino announced that Class of 2012 Representative Steele Burrow has joined the Dormstorm Taskforce. The taskforce is working with facilities management to set up an opportunity for students to view the Powerpoint describing the 10 year plans. 6. Class of 2012 Representative Scott McClintock informed the EC that having received the Traveller Steering Committee's rationales for adopting the five-mile radius service limit, the Traveller taskforce will be looking into compromises that can be implemented to address these issues. If compromises can be found, the Traveller taskforce plans on creating a report which will offer ideas on how to turn a unique service into a great unique service. 7. Hoffman informed the EC that he met with Teri Cugliari, Associate Director of Student Activities, and that they are working on creating an online form to streamline organization registration and update procedures. 8. The EC discussed alternatives to the current usage of exam envelopes in response to a question from Scott Dittman, University Registrar. The EC discussed a variety of ways that the envelopes might be reused to cut down on University costs. 9. Hoffman shared with the EC a letter from Maryanne Simurda, University Marshall, which asked the EC for ideas to increase student attendance at fall convocation. The EC suggested having department heads inviting students with majors in their department, improving the post-convocation food options, and having a reception for seniors to follow the event. 10. Centorino proposed an addition to the EC's budget policy to include Art. III Sec. 6: "Honor Societies: It is the Executive Committee's policy not to directly fund honor societies." Rationale: This serves to inform students of an established EC precedent. 11. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 7:56pm. 12. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:03pm. 13. EC passed the budget policy change 12-1 (Hopkins opposed). 14. The White Book Amendment (see below) was passed unanimously for a second time effectuating the amendment of the White Book. 15. Hoffman adjourned the meeting into closed session at 8:08pm. 16. Hoffman reopened the meeting at 8:19pm. 17. Hoffman adjourned the meeting at 8:19pm. White Book Amendment: The Pledge Current Text, p. 3: "During orientation every student must sign a White Pledge Card. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been through an orientation program on the Honor System, understands the contents of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System." Proposed Change, p. 3: "During orientation every new student must sign the Honor Book. This is a student's first pledge as a member of the Washington and Lee community. It expresses that the student has been through an orientation program on the Honor System, has received a copy of the Honor System White Book, and will abide by the Honor System." Rationale: The 2009-2010 EC has replaced the process of having new students sign pledge cards with the process of having new students sign the Honor Book. This amendment serves to memorialize this change in the White Book to accurately reflect current practices. ---------- Notice #24 ---------- top "Combating Sexual Violence in Tanzania" - A Human Rights Report Lena E.

Philosophy Lecture, TODAY, 5:30 Angela Smith <smitha@wlu.edu> Dr. Rahul Kumar, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Queen's University, will give a public lecture at 5:30 on Thursday, November 12, in Reid Hall 111. The title of Dr. Kumar's talk is "Why Reparations?" (see abstract below). Abstract: Though many now accept the importance of claims to reparations for past injustice in cases where the victims are still alive, there remains a great deal of skepticism about the validity of intergenerational reparations claims. What sense can be made, the thought goes, of something being owed to someone in light of how her distant ancestors were treated? Some argue that such claims should be understood not as backward-looking claims to reparation for past injustice, but as forward-looking demands to do what is necessary to bring about a just society. Though there is a great deal to be said in favor of this line of argument, I argue that it is mistaken. Living individuals can be wronged by what seems to have been only done to their ancestors, and are thus entitled to reparations, though perhaps not as 'reparations' are sometimes characterized by opponents of the very idea. These points are illustrated through a brief foray into how they can be employed to help us understand the basis of African-American claims to reparations for slavery. This talk is free and open to the public. ---------- Notice #5 ---------- top Library Left Items Karin O'Callaghan <ocallaghank@wlu.edu> Please do NOT leave your belongings unattended at the libraries.
