Engineering. Each award covers expenses for college tuition, fees,
books, and room and board, up to $7,500.
Nominees for Goldwater Scholarships must include in their nomination
materials a statement of interest in a career in mathematics, the
natural sciences, or engineering, detailing how their academic
program and their overall educational plans will prepare them for
their chosen career goal. It is expected that students selected as
scholars will pursue advanced degrees.
Students who plan to study medicine are eligible for a Goldwater
Scholarship only if they plan a research career rather than a career
as a medical doctor in a private practice. Washington and Lee
University may nominate up to four undergraduates for this award
each year. Nominees, each of whom must be a U.S. citizen or resident
alien intending to obtain U.S. citizenship, must be able to
demonstrate outstanding academic performance and commitment to a
career in the sciences (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Geology, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering).

Dispatches from a Busy Summer
John Muncie <munciej@wlu.edu>
This past summer, students from the Journalism and Mass
Communications Department interned all over the country and abroad.
From Moscow to New York, from Roanoke to Washington, D.C. The
companies they worked for encompassed the world of communications --
newspapers, radio stations, network TV, magazines, public relations
firms, news services.
Now they're reporting back. These interns are making brief
presentations (roughly 10 minutes each) about their summer
experiences -- what they liked, what they didn't like,
what they learned and how they coped.
Everyone is invited. We've conducted four sessions so far. Please
join us for our final session today in Reid 111 at 4:30. It includes:
Stephanie Hardiman -- Nashville Business Journal.
Michael Freeman -- KOIN-6 News CBS, Portland, OR.
Michael White -- The Virginian Pilot, Norfolk.
Caroline Martinet -- Urbanite Magazine, Baltimore.
Joel Poelhuis -- The Miami Herald.
Chase Noyes -- Big Communications, Birmingham, AL.

Virginia Program at Oxford Summer School Information Session 10/6
Holly Pickett <picketth@wlu.edu>
"The best summer I've ever had." That is how one VPO alum described
the Virginia Program at Oxford experience. Come find out what
inspires such enthusiasm on Tuesday, October 6, at 4:30 p.m. in
Elrod Commons 214. The Virginia Program at Oxford is a W&L
sponsored, interdisciplinary summer school program based in St.
Anne's College, Oxford University. Students spend six weeks studying
the history and literature of Renaissance England with renowned
Oxford lecturers in a residential college. Students, drawn from a
six-school consortium of small Virginia colleges and universities,
earn 3 credits in History and 3 in English. These credits may be
used to fulfill W&L's FDR or GE requirements. Some need-based
financial aid is available. Put it in your calendars, write it on
your hands, just don't miss this opportunity to find out more about
the program a student called "intellectually stimulating, culturally
informative, and an absolute blast." If you can't make the meeting
or would like more information, please email Prof. Pickett at
picketth@wlu.edu or Prof. Simpson at simpsonp@wlu.edu.

Hating Art and Words on Campus: Robert Warrior Lecture 10/1
Deborah Miranda <mirandad@wlu.edu>
How can a sign reading "Your host today is Kickapoo (Nation)" incite
vandalism and theft? When does a steel sign become Art? When is
Art a political act? When is it an act of resistance? When does
printed language become a threat to society, or to the dominant
culture of a society? Robert Warrior (Osage), Director of American
Indian Studies and the Native American House and professor of
American Indian Studies and English at University of Illinois Urbana-
Champaign, speaks on OCTOBER 1, 8 p.m., STACKHOUSE THEATER (not
Northen) as the Fall 2009 Shannon-Clarke Lecturer.
Titled "Curating 'Beyond the Chief:' Hating Art and Words on
Campus," Professor Warrior's talk focuses on the tension between
language and censorship, using the recent vandalism of an art
installation by Edgar Heap of Birds at U of Illinois as an example.
University of Illinois has been struggling with the image of
their "Chief Illiniwek" mascot for decades now, and even with an
official "retirement" of the caricature, clashes between supporters
and protesters continue to rock the campus. Here are a few websites
that contain background information that will give you some
grounding in the context of Professor Warrior's discussion about the
place of literature in free speech, censorship, and hate speech, and
not incidentally, about our responsibilities as readers and
citizens.
This talk is open to the public. A reception will follow.

Seasonal flu vaccine is now available at Student Health Center
Jane Horton <jhorton@wlu.edu>
Seasonal Flu Vaccine is now available at the Student Health Center
Vaccination is your best protection against contracting the flu.
You will need two vaccines to be fully protected this year. The
seasonal flu vaccine is different from the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine.
The CDC is encouraging people to get both vaccinations, as soon as
each is available.
The seasonal flu vaccine is available now.
No appointment needed--students may come to the Student Health Center
any time (other than 12-1 and 6-7 PM daily) for a seasonal flu shot.
Early morning, evenings and weekends may be the best way to avoid a
wait. The flu vaccine will also be available at the Wellness Fair on
Tuesday, October 13, 10 AM-3 PM in Evans Dining Hall. The cost of
the vaccine is $10, which you may charge home.
The H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine should be available sometime in
October. The University community will be notified when the H1N1 flu
vaccine is available.
Please see the CDC web site at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/ for more
information.

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

Cues, calories, and energy balance
Margaret Swisher <swisherm@wlu.edu>
Come see Susie Swithers of Purdue University lecture "Cues,
calories, and energy balance" on October 6 at 4:40 pm (I hour) in
Science Addition 214. Her talk is sponsored by the University
Lectures fund.
Dr. Swithers is an internationally recognized scholar whose research
concerns the developmental psychobiology of feeding. Her recent work
examines how conditioned learning can have long-term influences on
dietary preferences and regulation of caloric intake. One remarkable
finding, for example, is that consumption of artificial sweeteners
can cause the brain to 'think' that sweet foods, which are normally
very high in calories, have few calories. Thus, when subjects
subsequently consume natural sweeteners (i.e., sugar), they ingest
excessive calories before the brain terminates feeding. This type of
learning may be an important factor in the development of obesity in
humans.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

Fire Extinguisher Training
Paul Burns <pburns@wlu.edu>
Everyone is familiar with fire extinguishers--but how many
could operate them if faced with a actual fire emergency? One
extremely important tool we have for preventing major fires is the
use of portable fire extinguishers. Many fires have been
extinguished in their initial stages, before real harm could be
done, by persons who were willing and able to use a fire
extinguisher. However; injuries as well as deaths have occurred to
persons who attempted to use a fire extinguisher and failed to use
if properly. It is for this reason that OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Act) Standards require that if employees are expected to
use a fire extinguisher to put out fires, they must be trained in
the use of fire extinguishers.
National Fire Prevention Week is this coming week, October 4-
10, 2009. During this week we plan to provide fire extinguisher
training to all of the W & L Community: Faculty, Staff, and
Students. This training will last approximately one hour and will
start at the following times;
Monday: Oct. 5, 9:05, 10:10, 11:15, 1:25, 2:30
Tuesday: Oct. 6, 9:05, 10:10, 11:15
WHERE: Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library
Training will include: classes of fire and which type of
extinguisher to use on each: stages and growth of fires; how to
operate an extinguisher; deciding whether to fight a fire or
evacuate; and, actual, hands on, use of a fire extinguisher.
If as an employee of W & L you would ever decide to use a
fire extinguisher then it is required that you take this training.
To put it another way, if you have not had this training and a fire
starts, then you need to evacuate the building immediately and do
not attempt to use a fire extinguisher.
If you have previously had this training it is not necessary
for you to go through it again, you can be provided with a flyer for
refresher training. If you need one of these refresher training
flyers, please contact me at pburns@wlu.edu.

Abigail Mack Dean <deana11@mail.wlu.edu
>
All students who use the Traveller Express buses (not the dispatch
vans, but the buses that run the set route red/blue line):
All students riding Traveller Express Buses will be required to have a
seat, one per seat, and no one will be permitted to stand in the
aisles. There have been some recent discrepancies in this policy, and
due to insurance and safety concerns, this rule will from now on be
more widely enforced. There will be no more people on the bus at any
given time, than the number of seats on that bus.
Thank you for your understanding, don't forget to call dispatch if you
need a ride to/from somewhere not on the bus route: (540) 458-8900
Questions or concerns?

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

Cues, calories, and energy balance
Margaret Swisher <swisherm@wlu.edu>
Come see Susie Swithers of Purdue University lecture "Cues,
calories, and energy balance" on October 6 at 4:40 pm (I hour) in
Science Addition 214. Her talk is sponsored by the University
Lectures fund.
Dr. Swithers is an internationally recognized scholar whose research
concerns the developmental psychobiology of feeding. Her recent work
examines how conditioned learning can have long-term influences on
dietary preferences and regulation of caloric intake. One remarkable
finding, for example, is that consumption of artificial sweeteners
can cause the brain to 'think' that sweet foods, which are normally
very high in calories, have few calories. Thus, when subjects
subsequently consume natural sweeteners (i.e., sugar), they ingest
excessive calories before the brain terminates feeding. This type of
learning may be an important factor in the development of obesity in
humans.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

Cues, calories, and energy balance
Margaret Swisher <swisherm@wlu.edu>
Come see Susie Swithers of Purdue University lecture "Cues,
calories, and energy balance" on October 6 at 4:40 pm (I hour) in
Science Addition 214. Her talk is sponsored by the University
Lectures fund.
Dr. Swithers is an internationally recognized scholar whose research
concerns the developmental psychobiology of feeding. Her recent work
examines how conditioned learning can have long-term influences on
dietary preferences and regulation of caloric intake. One remarkable
finding, for example, is that consumption of artificial sweeteners
can cause the brain to 'think' that sweet foods, which are normally
very high in calories, have few calories. Thus, when subjects
subsequently consume natural sweeteners (i.e., sugar), they ingest
excessive calories before the brain terminates feeding. This type of
learning may be an important factor in the development of obesity in
humans.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

Volunteers are needed to help out with Character Counts!, a program
that looks to instill good character traits in local middle school
students through fun lesson plans. Volunteers work with various
groups of students at Lylburn Downing every Friday during one-hour
blocks from about 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Transportation is provided from
VMI to the middle school, and volunteers are only asked to commit to
one-hour periods. (The one hour includes transportation to and from

Fire Extinguisher Training
Paul Burns <pburns@wlu.edu>
Everyone is familiar with fire extinguishers--but how many
could operate them if faced with a actual fire emergency? One
extremely important tool we have for preventing major fires is the
use of portable fire extinguishers. Many fires have been
extinguished in their initial stages, before real harm could be
done, by persons who were willing and able to use a fire
extinguisher. However; injuries as well as deaths have occurred to
persons who attempted to use a fire extinguisher and failed to use
if properly. It is for this reason that OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Act) Standards require that if employees are expected to
use a fire extinguisher to put out fires, they must be trained in
the use of fire extinguishers.
National Fire Prevention Week is this coming week, October 4-
10, 2009. During this week we plan to provide fire extinguisher
training to all of the W & L Community: Faculty, Staff, and
Students. This training will last approximately one hour and will
start at the following times;
Monday: Oct. 5, 9:05, 10:10, 11:15, 1:25, 2:30
Tuesday: Oct. 6, 9:05, 10:10, 11:15
WHERE: Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library
Training will include: classes of fire and which type of
extinguisher to use on each: stages and growth of fires; how to
operate an extinguisher; deciding whether to fight a fire or
evacuate; and, actual, hands on, use of a fire extinguisher.
If as an employee of W & L you would ever decide to use a
fire extinguisher then it is required that you take this training.
To put it another way, if you have not had this training and a fire
starts, then you need to evacuate the building immediately and do
not attempt to use a fire extinguisher.
If you have previously had this training it is not necessary
for you to go through it again, you can be provided with a flyer for
refresher training. If you need one of these refresher training
flyers, please contact me at pburns@wlu.edu.

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

Cues, calories, and energy balance
Margaret Swisher <swisherm@wlu.edu>
Come see Susie Swithers of Purdue University lecture "Cues,
calories, and energy balance" tomorrow at 4:40 pm (I hour) in
Science Addition 214. Her talk is sponsored by the University
Lectures fund.
Dr. Swithers is an internationally recognized scholar whose research
concerns the developmental psychobiology of feeding. Her recent work
examines how conditioned learning can have long-term influences on
dietary preferences and regulation of caloric intake. One remarkable
finding, for example, is that consumption of artificial sweeteners
can cause the brain to 'think' that sweet foods, which are normally
very high in calories, have few calories. Thus, when subjects
subsequently consume natural sweeteners (i.e., sugar), they ingest
excessive calories before the brain terminates feeding. This type of
learning may be an important factor in the development of obesity in
humans.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

GAB Comedy Presents: Watt Smith
Tuesday Night 10PM
Stackhouse Theater
At the age of 22, Watt Smith has already had an incredible career in
stand-up comedy. With the discipline of an adult and the spirit of a
teenager, he sees the world through a unique, uplifting, and
hilarious lens, which has made him the most unstoppable force in
today's comedy scene. Watt has headlined colleges all over the
country, such as Vanderbilt and the University of Richmond. You can
hear him on XM Radio. Watt is a prolific writer, a dynamite presence
onstage, a natural professional, and is awesome.
Watt spends most of his spare time achieving a list of 101 Goals that
he created when he was 20. He likes to ride horses, play music,
read, write, paint, build things, run, play soccer, and he recently
got a tattoo on the bottom of his foot that says “Life is awesome.”
A Richmond, Virginia native, Watt graduated from Woodberry Forest in
2005 and Mary Washington in 2009. His brother Marston graduated from
W&L in 2008.
Check out a video of a minute of Watt's act on the facebook

Volunteer with the Character Counts! Program
Melissa Caron <caronm@wlu.edu>
Volunteers are needed to help out with Character Counts!, a program
that looks to instill good character traits in local middle school
students through fun lesson plans. Volunteers work with various
groups of students at Lylburn Downing every Friday during one-hour
blocks from about 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Transportation is provided from
VMI to the middle school, and volunteers are only asked to commit to
one-hour periods. (The one hour includes transportation to and from
VMI)
Lessons include promoting responsibility, respect, trustworthiness,
and other values. Staff and students at VMI brought this national
program to the local area three years ago. Since then it has been
widely successful. It now needs the support of the W&L community to
expand!
If you are interested in helping out and becoming a role-model for
middle school students or are interested in learning more about the
program, please contact Melissa Caron at caronm@wlu.edu.

Everyone is familiar with fire extinguishers--but how many
could operate them if faced with a actual fire emergency? One
extremely important tool we have for preventing major fires is the
use of portable fire extinguishers. Many fires have been
extinguished in their initial stages, before real harm could be
done, by persons who were willing and able to use a fire
extinguisher. However; injuries as well as deaths have occurred to
persons who attempted to use a fire extinguisher and failed to use
if properly. It is for this reason that OSHA (Occupational Safety
and Health Act) Standards require that if employees are expected to
use a fire extinguisher to put out fires, they must be trained in
the use of fire extinguishers.
National Fire Prevention Week is this coming week, October 4-
10, 2009. During this week we plan to provide fire extinguisher
training to all of the W & L Community: Faculty, Staff, and
Students. This training will last approximately one hour and will
start at the following times;
Tuesday: Oct. 6, 9:05, 10:10, 11:15
WHERE: Northen Auditorium, Leyburn Library
Training will include: classes of fire and which type of
extinguisher to use on each: stages and growth of fires; how to
operate an extinguisher; deciding whether to fight a fire or
evacuate; and, actual, hands on, use of a fire extinguisher.
If as an employee of W & L you would ever decide to use a
fire extinguisher then it is required that you take this training.
To put it another way, if you have not had this training and a fire
starts, then you need to evacuate the building immediately and do
not attempt to use a fire extinguisher.
If you have previously had this training it is not necessary
for you to go through it again, you can be provided with a flyer for
refresher training. If you need one of these refresher training
flyers, please contact me at pburns@wlu.edu.

Summer School in Oxford, Anyone? Find Out More TODAY at 4:30
Holly Pickett <picketth@wlu.edu>
"The best summer I've ever had." That is how a VPO alum described
the Virginia Program at Oxford experience. Come find out what
inspires such enthusiasm on Tuesday, October 6, at 4:30 p.m. in
Elrod Commons 214. The Virginia Program at Oxford is a W&L
sponsored, interdisciplinary summer school program based in St.
Anne's College, Oxford University. Students spend six weeks studying
the history and literature of Renaissance England with renowned
Oxford lecturers in a residential college. Students, drawn from a
six-school consortium of small Virginia colleges and universities,
earn 3 credits in History and 3 in English. These credits may be
used to fulfill W&L's FDR or GE requirements. Some need-based
financial aid is available. Put it in your calendars, write it on
your hands, just don't miss this opportunity to find out more about
the program a student called "intellectually stimulating, culturally
informative, and an absolute blast." If you can't make the meeting
or would like more information, please email Prof. Pickett at

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

DON'T FORGET: Cues, calories, and energy balance
Margaret Swisher <swisherm@wlu.edu>
Come see Susie Swithers of Purdue University lecture "Cues,
calories, and energy balance" TODAY at 4:40 pm (I hour) in
Science Addition 214. Her talk is sponsored by the University
Lectures fund.
Dr. Swithers is an internationally recognized scholar whose research
concerns the developmental psychobiology of feeding. Her recent work
examines how conditioned learning can have long-term influences on
dietary preferences and regulation of caloric intake. One remarkable
finding, for example, is that consumption of artificial sweeteners
can cause the brain to 'think' that sweet foods, which are normally
very high in calories, have few calories. Thus, when subjects
subsequently consume natural sweeteners (i.e., sugar), they ingest
excessive calories before the brain terminates feeding. This type of
learning may be an important factor in the development of obesity in
humans.

You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as

Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!

Tomorrow, Oct. 8th at 12:15 PM Burr Datz will explain the ways that a
labyrinth can be useful for spiritual growth and healing, and will
lead participants in a walk at the site. Books and pamphlets on

seat, one per seat, and no one will be permitted to stand in the

more widely enforced. There will be no more people on the bus at any
given time, than the number of seats on that bus.
Thank you for your understanding, don't forget to call dispatch if you

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

Me, Until HE Hit Me" by Ms. Dominique Lamb. She is a Spring 2006
initiate of Tau Omega, an alumnus of Washington & Lee University, and
currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Philosophy at George Mason
University. In addition to her academic endeavors, she interns at
Doorways for Women and Families, a non-profit organization in
Arlington, VA that strives to end homelessness and family/intimate
partner violence by offering safe shelter and housing, life-changing
support services, and community advocacy. She also serves as Red Flag
Campaign Coordinator on both George Mason University and The Art
Institute of Washington's campuses.
Venue: Stackhouse Theater, Elrod Commons, Washington & Lee University.

Bone Marrow Drive
Lee Neilson <lneilson@wlu.edu>
You Can be a Life Saver
Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as
leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life.
Did you know?
Everyday 6,000 patients search the Be the Match RegistrySM in hopes of
finding a marrow donor. Race and ethnicity affect matching. However
due to the severe shortage of minority donors on the registry,
patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds with leukemia or
lymphoma are less likely to find a matching donor. You can be the one
to save their lives by taking 10 minutes of your time to register as a
potential marrow/stem cell donor.
Join the Registry
Take the first step to become a bone marrow donor. Join the Be the
Match RegistrySM and you could be the one to save a life.
It is quick, painless, and cost free!
Students , faculty and Staff can register on
Thursday, October 8, 2009 from 11 AM to 4 PM in the Commons.

one-hour periods. (The one hour includes transportation to and from
VMI)
Lessons include promoting responsibility, respect, trustworthiness,
and other values. Staff and students at VMI brought this national
program to the local area three years ago. Since then it has been
widely successful. It now needs the support of the W&L community to
expand!
If you are interested in helping out and becoming a role-model for
middle school students or are interested in learning more about the
program, please contact Melissa Caron at caronm@wlu.edu.

vans, but the buses that run the set route red/blue line):
All students riding Traveller Express Buses will be required to have a
seat, one per seat, and no one will be permitted to stand in the
aisles. There have been some recent discrepancies in this policy, and
due to insurance and safety concerns, this rule will from now on be
more widely enforced. There will be no more people on the bus at any
given time, than the number of seats on that bus.
Thank you for your understanding, don't forget to call dispatch if you
need a ride to/from somewhere not on the bus route: (540) 458-8900

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

Seasonal flu vaccine is now available at Student Health Center
Jane Horton <jhorton@wlu.edu>
Seasonal Flu Vaccine is now available at the Student Health Center
Vaccination is your best protection against contracting the flu.
You will need two vaccines to be fully protected this year. The
seasonal flu vaccine is different from the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine.
The CDC is encouraging people to get both vaccinations, as soon as
each is available.
The seasonal flu vaccine is available now. No appointment needed--
students may come to the Student Health Center any time (other than
12-1 and 6-7 PM daily) for a seasonal flu shot. Early morning,
evenings and weekends may be the best way to avoid a wait. The flu
vaccine will also be available at the Wellness Fair on Tuesday,
October 13, 10 AM-3 PM in Evans Dining Hall. The cost of the vaccine
is $10, which you may charge home.

Cannan Green Renovation
Linda Agnor <lagnor@wlu.edu>
On Monday, October 12, Facilities Management will be starting a turf
grass improvement project on Cannan Green. The area will involve
the small sections of grass that are crossed by the sidewalks west
of the Graham-Lees Dormitory. Please observe the safety cones and
snow fence, allow the excavating contractor ample room when
navigating the site. FM will also have a staff member present for
extra pedestrian/vehicle protection as this process will necessitate
many shuttle trips with a large dump truck. We anticipate a two
week duration(weather permitting) resulting in a newly sodded
lawn. The new lawn will not be useable for an additional two weeks,
needing time to anchor to the new top soil. Thank you for being
considerate and we look forward to an improved Cannan Green.

All students who use the Traveller Express buses (not the dispatch
vans, but the buses that run the set route red/blue line):
All students riding Traveller Express Buses will be required to have a
seat, one per seat, and no one will be permitted to stand in the
aisles. There have been some recent discrepancies in this policy, and
due to insurance and safety concerns, this rule will from now on be
more widely enforced. There will be no more people on the bus at any
given time, than the number of seats on that bus.
Thank you for your understanding, don't forget to call dispatch if you
need a ride to/from somewhere not on the bus route: (540) 458-8900

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.

>
A silver ring went missing; it has a blue oval topaz stone with 5
small diamonds on either side of it. Antique-style. If you come
across it, PLEASE e-mail me or return it to the lost and found in
the commons. It's extemely sentimental to me and I'd really like to
reduce my stress level by getting it back.
Thank you!

Cannan Green Renovation
Linda Agnor <lagnor@wlu.edu>
On Monday, October 12, Facilities Management will be starting a turf
grass improvement project on Cannan Green. The area will involve
the small sections of grass that are crossed by the sidewalks west
of the Graham-Lees Dormitory. Please observe the safety cones and
snow fence, allow the excavating contractor ample room when
navigating the site. FM will also have a staff member present for
extra pedestrian/vehicle protection as this process will necessitate
many shuttle trips with a large dump truck. We anticipate a two
week duration(weather permitting) resulting in a newly sodded
lawn. The new lawn will not be useable for an additional two weeks,
needing time to anchor to the new top soil. Thank you for being
considerate and we look forward to an improved Cannan Green.

Afghanistan: Eight Years After the Fall of the Taliban
Lynn Fitch <fitchl@wlu.edu>
In the midst of the ongoing, heated debate in Washington over the
Obama administration's strategy in Afghanistan, much public
attention has been focused on whether the war in Afghanistan is, in
fact, "a war of necessity," as President Obama has stated; and
whether the military campaign, on the one hand, has prevented Al-
Qaeda from having the opportunity to prepare and launch another
attack on America, and, on other hand, the "nation-building" efforts
have contributed to positive changes in the country.
Please join M. Asif Ehsan and Sebghatullah Ebrahimi, the law
school's two Afghan LL.M students, on Tuesday, October 13, from 3-4
pm in Classroom D of Lewis Hall, when they will share their
knowledge and experience on some of the critical issues currently
facing Afghanistan. Specifically, they will address such questions
as why and how Afghanistan got to the point where it became "a safe
haven" for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda after the Soviet
withdrawal from Afghanistan; and what positive changes, if any, have
occurred in the country following the fall of the Taliban regime
after being ousted by the U.S. military campaign in the aftermath of
the 9/11.

Math Problems of the Month
Nathan Feldman <feldmann@wlu.edu>
Win cash prizes for solving math problems! You can find the problems
below, at math.wlu.edu, and posted in the Math Department. There's an
easier problem and a harder problem. Congratulations to last
months winners:
Chengpeng Mou ('11), Grant Nolan ('11), Paul Nguyen ('13), Maya
Iyengar ('11), Andy Dewing ('84), John Raynor, Linda Davis, Scott
Hoover, and Jon Erickson.
Solutions for last months problems are posted on the math
department's
website. Here are this months problems.
Easier Problem: (Sorting Marbles) Suppose that we distribute
100 marbles among five bags in such a way that the total number of
marbles in bags 1 and 2 is 52 and the total number between bags 2 and
3 is 43 and the total number in bags 3 and 4 is 34 and the total
number in bags 4 and 5 is 30. How many marbles are in each bag?
Harder Problem: (Gaussian Primes) The "complex
integers", which are also called Gaussian integers, are
complex numbers of the form a = n + ik where n and k are (real)
integers. If a and b are Gaussian integers, then we say that a is
divisible by b if a/b is another Gaussian integer. Notice that all
Gaussian integers are divisible by 1, -1, i, and -i. So we say that a
Gaussian integer a is a Gaussian prime if whenever a factors as
a = bc where b and c are also Gaussian integers, then either b or c is
equal to 1, -1, i, or -i.
(a) Prove that any positive integer a of the form a = (x^2 + y^2)
where x and y are (real) integers is not a Gaussian prime.
Example: The prime number 13 = 2^2 + 3^2 is not a Gaussian
prime, it can be factored into two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial
way!
(b) Prove that if a = n + ik where n and k are (real) integers and
neither n nor k is equal to zero and if n^2 + k^2 is a prime number
(in the usual sense), then a is a Gaussian prime.
Example: (2 + 3i) is a Gaussian prime, it cannot be factored
as a product of two Gaussian integers, in a non-trivial way.
