Symposium
Wendy Rice <ricew@wlu.edu>
The Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice and the Francis 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.

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."

The leadership seminar series continues tomorrow, Nov 3, at both

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

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.

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.

Lenfest presents Best of MOMIX
Susan Wager <wagers@wlu.edu>
Lenfest presents the Best of MOMIX on Wednesday, November 11, at 8
p.m. in the Keller Theatre. 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."

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."

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

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.

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."

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.

***Sychronise body AND MIND***
Elliott William O'Brien <obriene10@mail.wlu.edu
>
The concept of synchronizing body and mind is total. It is relate to
whatever work of art you execute or whatever life you lead. Being in the
present, we can reshape the whole future. Therefore, should we be more awake and gentle with what we are doing at this very moment? Non-
aggressive elegance is the key to life, and perception altogether. It is
how to perceive reality at its best.

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS TIPS: Dont Worry- Be Happy!!
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.

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they

"Nanceportation" shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading
days, Tom and I enjoyed meeting all of you! W&L has a great group

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.

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.

Flashlight Course Eval Tool is Going Away
John Blackburn <blackburnj@wlu.edu>
Information Technology Services is introducing a new tool for surveys, including online

The current Flashlight tool is being discontinued by the vendor in April 2010. Here is how
this may affect you, if you are a Flashlight user:
1. If you have not already done so, please save all your survey data from Flashlight Online
to another space, such as your personal network storage (H: drive). Here are instructions
for completing that work: http://www.wlu.edu/x36059.xml
2. If you would like assistance in saving your data, please contact Jeff Overholtzer by Nov.
1st.
3. You may continue using Flashlight Online until the vendor removes access, but no new
Flashlight accounts will be created after Jan. 1, 2010.
I will be offering workshops on how to use Sakai tools for course evaluation starting next
week, and I would encourage you to attend--watch this space for announcements .I will
also offer a workshop on course assessments during Winter Academy, Dec. 14-16, 2009.

***Sychronise body AND MIND***
Elliott William O'Brien <obriene10@mail.wlu.edu
>
The concept of synchronizing body and mind is total. It is relate to
whatever work of art you execute or whatever life you lead. Being in the
present, we can reshape the whole future. Therefore, should we be more
awake and gentle with what we are doing at this very moment? Non-
aggressive elegance is the key to life, and perception altogether. It is
how to perceive reality at its best.

Verizon Wireless equipment for sale
Graham Spice <spicecg@wlu.edu>
Do you live in the county and don't have any hi-speed internet
available? I recently moved and have a nice Verizon WIFI setup for
sale that solves this problem.
The great part of this setup is the WIFI router that sends the
hi-speed signal all around your house: Cradlepoint CTR500. The CTR500
is a small device that can be placed anywhere and accepts the USB
modem that I purchased from Verizon called the USB720. Together they
will blanket any area with hi-speed internet access.
Verizon coverage is great in this area with many spots having EVDO
coverage, the fastest connection on their network. Want to setup a
mobile WIFI hotspot anywhere? No problem, this does it.
More info on the Cradlepoint CTR500 router:

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.

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."

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.

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.

Flashlight Course Eval Tool is Going Away
John Blackburn <blackburnj@wlu.edu>
Information Technology Services is introducing a new tool for surveys, including online
course evaluations, through our Sakai course management system.
The current Flashlight tool is being discontinued by the vendor in April 2010. Here is how
this may affect you, if you are a Flashlight user:
1. If you have not already done so, please save all your survey data from Flashlight Online
to another space, such as your personal network storage (H: drive). Here are instructions
for completing that work: http://www.wlu.edu/x36059.xml
2. If you would like assistance in saving your data, please contact Jeff Overholtzer by Nov.
1st.
3. You may continue using Flashlight Online until the vendor removes access, but no new
Flashlight accounts will be created after Jan. 1, 2010.
I will be offering workshops on how to use Sakai tools for course evaluation starting next
week, and I would encourage you to attend--watch this space for announcements .I will
also offer a workshop on course assessments during Winter Academy, Dec. 14-16, 2009.

Why Reparations? 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.

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel

NEW! 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.

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."

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.

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading
days, Tom and I enjoyed meeting all of you! W&L has a great group

between illusion and reality with mind-blowing inventiveness; athletic
dancers fool the naked eye with an amazing array of black-light

performers takes arabesques and pirouettes beyond the limit in
performances that a New York Times critic recently noted, "defy the
impossible."

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.
today 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.

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading
days, Tom and I enjoyed meeting all of you! W&L has a great group
of students! Contact Nancy at:

Great IN-TOWN Apt. 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.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Nanceportation Shuttles for Thanksgiving Break
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
Shuttles are being planned for Thanksgiving break
with "Nanceportation"
Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of
Thanksgiving break and end of break. Roanoke is the most used
airport and will be the most economical if you are looking for a
great deal.
Cars will be going to Roanoke at various times on Thurs. Nov 19 and
Fri Nov 20, with additional times and days being added everyday.
Transport to other airports/locations available upon request.
On Sun Nov 29 there will be only one Richmond pick up around
8:30am. Due to the Holiday traffic, all other pick ups on that Sun.
will be at the Roanoke airport or the Staunton train station. The
Sun after Thanksgiving is the only day of the year we limit
locations. It allows us to accommodate the most number of students
and will help to avoid too many pick up delays due to traffic. (Sat
Nov 28 travel has a little more flexibility)
For reservations please e-mail Nancy your contact info, and travel
info. You may also contact me for price quotes and questions.
Thank you to all of the students that used our services for reading
days, Tom and I enjoyed meeting all of you! W&L has a great group
of students! Contact Nancy at:

Great IN-TOWN Apt. 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.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Why Reparations? 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.

WEDNESDAY WELLNESS TIP: Be Grateful- thank a Veteran
Patricia Colliton <collitonp@wlu.edu>
As Veterans Day comes this year, let us be mindful that there are
currently 23,442,000 living veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. 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.

Great IN-TOWN Apt. 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.
Thanks,
-Grant Lewandrowski

Why Reparations? 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.

saved with a new name. Directions for use of the template are found on

Reservations are coming in for airport travel at the beginning of

Great IN-TOWN Apt. 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.
Thanks,
