With school just around the corner, I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,
see the link on http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/new_drop_add.htm .
Questions about these new policies can be directed to the University
Registrar's office at registrar@wlu.edu .

Changes to Fall Registration
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,
see the link on http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/new_drop_add.htm .

Registrar's office at registrar@wlu.edu .

With school just around the corner, I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,

rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Learn to Improvise - MUS 141J
Thomas Artwick <artwickt@wlu.edu>
If you play a musical instrument and would like to learn to
improvise, Mr. Tom Artwick has openings in MUS 141J. Intermediate
level of skill on your instrument is required and reading standard
musical notation is helpful but not mandatory. Learn skills that
will allow you to improvise your own melodies based on jazz and other
styles of popular songs, learn music by ear from recordings, and
understand the structure of music so that you can better compose.
For more information, contact Mr. Tom Artwick at artwickt@wlu.edu
or 463-7345.

The University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra: Hangin’ with Haydn
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
Some fun facts: Haydn’s FAREWELL SYMPHONY was written while the
composer was abducted by aliens, hence the name. Bach known for his
21 children and his forgetfulness, often misplaced his car keys as
well as child No. 7 and No. 15. Mozart’s prom date to the Salzburg
High Dance of 1772 taught him to whistle and sing at the same time,
a practice found in many of his later choral works. As a member of
the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra, you would have known
all of this, and more. If you are a string player and starving for
unending knowledge, the University Orchestra is exactly where you
want be. Sign up for Mus 114; we’ll even supply the music and best
of all, you will learn the secret USSO hand shake. For more
information about the Orchestra or aliens, contact Dr. Kolman (one
of the few people who actually knows the third verse of the Star-
Spangled Banner) at the following coordinates: bkolman@wlu.edu,
Wilson 4029, x8856, 3rd rock from the sun. The USSO is open to
undergraduate and law students, faculty, staff, and community
residents.

Join the University Wind Ensemble: It’s going to be fun!
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
With no money down and just a few hours a week of your time, you can
become a musical millionaire; someone with virtually millions of
melodies running through your head. Better than HBO or any other
Premium Channel, the world renown W&L University Wind Ensemble will
offer you an exciting experience you cannot get any place else. If you
play a brass, woodwind, or percussion instrument, you are ready for a
musical journey that could change your life forever. Some side effects
may include constant humming, a permanent smile, increase popularity,
and more fun than you can imagine. Tell your advisor that you want,
nay, demand Mus 113. Do not settle for any imitations Forget FB, IM,
or Tweets. Breathe the fresh air of music; make your own history
instead about reading about others. Did I mention we are going to
Israel in the Spring? The tax laws may change at any time, so hurry.
Contact Dr. Kolman x8852, bkolman@wlu.edu. (Membership is open to all
undergraduate and law students, faculty, staff, and community
residents.) Offer void where prohibited.

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
As undergraduates return to classes, students, faculty and staff
should be especially careful to safeguard their computers and data.
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, in
particular phishing. Phishing is when e-mail purporting to be from a
legitimate source attempts to trick you into providing confidential
information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPay or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.
Watch this 30-second video, produced for the Higher Education
community, to see how phishing works:

Matthew Alexander Locke <lockema11@mail.wlu.edu

Every school year, parents within the Lexington community deal with
the reality of not being able to afford adequate school supplies for
their children. Annually, the Xi Delta chapter of Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity springs to the aid of these parents
through our 'Tools for Schools Supply Drive'. Every August, before
the school year resumes for Lexington Public Schools, Xi Delta
spends weeks raising various school supplies in our community and on
campus for administering at Waddell elementary school. Each year,
we are greeted by grateful school administrators welcoming supplies
with open arms ready to dispense to students. The Tools for Schools
Supply Drive is simply yet another way in which the Xi Delta chapter
expresses its mission for not only Alpha to hold scholarship in high
regard, but to provide the tools needed to help in the pursuit in of
it our community.

#2 Pencils
1 Subject Spiral Notebooks
Blunt Scissors
Bottled Glue
Markers
Pencil Boxes
Wide-Rule Loose-leaf Paper
Erasers
Rulers
Glue Sticks
Crayons
Colored Pencils
Folders
Or, Donate $1 and we'll use the money to buy the supplies for the
kids.
Brothers from the chapter will be in front of the Commons from
September 7-September 11 promoting the drive and getting everyone
excited about helping out the future leaders of America.
Financial donations can made payable to Xi Delta-APA
Remember, the difference you make in a child's life now, could be
the difference they make in yours later.
Thanks in Advance!

Placing a T-Shirt Order???
Alexander Thomas Boehling <boehlinga10@mail.wlu.edu
>
O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Thanks for considering Kotis!!

Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
With no money down and just a few hours a week of your time, you can
become a musical millionaire; someone with virtually millions of
melodies running through your head. Better than HBO or any other
Premium Channel, the world renown W&L University Wind Ensemble will
offer you an exciting experience you cannot get any place else. If
you play a brass, woodwind, or percussion instrument, you are ready
for a musical journey that could change your life forever. Some side
effects may include constant humming, a permanent smile, increase
popularity, and more fun than you can imagine. Tell your advisor
that you want, nay, demand Mus 113. Do not settle for any imitations
Forget FB, IM, or Tweets. Breathe the fresh air of music; make your
own history instead about reading about others. Did I mention we are
going to Israel in the Spring? The tax laws may change at any time,
so hurry. Contact Dr. Kolman x8852, bkolman@wlu.edu. (Membership is
open to all undergraduate and law students, faculty, staff, and

The University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra: Hangin’ with Haydn
Barry Kolman <kolmanb@wlu.edu>
Some fun facts: Haydn’s FAREWELL SYMPHONY was written while the
composer was abducted by aliens, hence the name. Bach known for his
21 children and his forgetfulness, often misplaced his car keys as
well as child No. 7 and No. 15. Mozart’s prom date to the Salzburg
High Dance of 1772 taught him to whistle and sing at the same time,
a practice found in many of his later choral works. As a member of
the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra, you would have known
all of this, and more. If you are a string player and starving for
unending knowledge, the University Orchestra is exactly where you
want be. Sign up for Mus 114; we’ll even supply the music and best
of all, you will learn the secret USSO hand shake. For more
information about the Orchestra or aliens, contact Dr. Kolman (one
of the few people who actually knows the third verse of the Star-
Spangled Banner) at the following coordinates: bkolman@wlu.edu,
Wilson 4029, x8856, 3rd rock from the sun. The USSO is open to

Git-R-Done!!! Changes in Drop/Add policies
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this! Take care of all registration activities in
the first week of the term!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,
see the link on http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/new_drop_add.htm .

Registrar's office at registrar@wlu.edu .

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, and
students, faculty and staff should be especially careful to
safeguard their computers and data. Phishing is a common tactic used
by scammers who send e-mail claiming to be from a legitimate source
and attempt to trick you into providing confidential information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPal or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.
Watch this 30-second video, produced for the higher education
community, to see how phishing works:

Placing a T-Shirt Order???
Alexander Thomas Boehling <boehlinga10@mail.wlu.edu
>
O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Thanks for considering Kotis!!

Become a WLUR DJ!
Kimber Lauren Wiggs <wiggsk10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.
For more information, contact station manager Jeremy Franklin at (540) 458-4017 or

Git-R-Done!!! Changes in Drop/Add policies
Barbara Rowe <browe@wlu.edu>
You need to know this! Take care of all registration activities in
the first week of the term!
The faculty has approved major changes to drop/add policy that go
into effect now. Please note these changes below and be sure to
finalize all drops and adds within the first week of the term.
1st change: Shorter drop/add period
Get all drops and adds taken care of in the first week of the term.
After the first week, late changes to your registration require
permissions, significant fines, and possibly a drop with record.
The faculty want your schedule finalized early and this is important
in a 12-week term.
2nd change: Higher late fees
Major late fees go into effect after the first week of the term.
The late fee for turning in a drop/add form or P/F declaration form
after the first week is $100. Beyond the end of a term the fee goes
up to $200.
3rd change: Drop with record
A new drop with record policy has been approved. Dropped courses
after the second week of the term have a W grade entered on your
record. After midterm, a dropped course will have a WP or WF grade
assigned by the faculty member. These grades are reflected on your
transcript.
4th change: Full-time load
All degree-seeking students are expected to be registered for a full-
time load (12 credits) by the end of the second week of the term.
Students without a full-time load will be withdrawn from the
University. Take care of all registration holds and get registered
for your classes.
Please note that these changes are for fall and winter terms and
different deadlines will be in effect for spring term. For example,
the drop/add period for spring will be only two days long. Specific
deadlines for the fall are listed at
http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/DropAddPolicies.pdf .
If you would like to hear an audio-visual version of these changes,
see the link on http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/new_drop_add.htm .
Questions about these new policies can be directed to the University
Registrar's office at registrar@wlu.edu .

O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
Thanks for considering Kotis!!

Become a WLUR DJ!
Kimber Lauren Wiggs <wiggsk10@mail.wlu.edu

Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.

regard, but to provide the tools needed to help in the pursuit in of
it our community.

excited about helping out the future leaders of America.
Financial donations can made payable to Xi Delta-APA
Remember, the difference you make in a child's life now, could be
the difference they make in yours later.

Watch for suspicious e-mails
Jeffrey Overholtzer <joverholtzer@wlu.edu>
Fall is always a busy time for various kinds of Internet scams, and
students, faculty and staff should be especially careful to
safeguard their computers and data. Phishing is a common tactic used
by scammers who send e-mail claiming to be from a legitimate source
and attempt to trick you into providing confidential information.
Such e-mail may appear to come from your bank, PayPal or even the
University. Be wary of any messages asking you to divulge passwords,
bank account numbers or other personal information. Information
Technology Services will never ask you for your password.
Watch this 30-second video, produced for the higher education
community, to see how phishing works:

O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.

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. Here's this month's problem,
which was recommended by Loren Pomeroy, a music instructor at W&L.
Opening and Closing Lockers: At a certain high school there are 1000
students and 1000 lockers. Each student is assigned a student id
number from 1 to 1000. The students then perform a simple exercise of
opening and closing certain locker doors. Initially all of the locker
doors are closed and a brave upperclassman steps forward to start the
process. She walks past all of the lockers stopping at each one. As
she stops at each locker, if her student id number divides the locker
number, then she opens the door of that locker otherwise she leaves it
closed. Then another student steps up and takes his turn. This time
some of the locker doors are open and some are closed. Each locker is
in a certain state, either open or closed. As the second student
passes each locker, he opens or closes the locker based on whether or
not his student id number divides the locker number. If his id number
divides the locker number, then he changes the state of that locker
door. Eventually, all 1000 students do likewise. In the end, some of
the locker doors will be open and some closed.
Easier Problem: Which of the doors numbered 1 through 10, if
any, are left open? Explain you answer.
Harder Problem: First explain why the order in which the
students go does not effect which doors are left open and which are
closed. Second, determine how many of the 1000 doors are left open
and which ones are they?
Submit your solutions to Professor Feldman in Robinson Hall. You must
submit a correct answer as well as an explanation of how you got your
answer. For the first few correct solutions there are $1 prizes for
the easier problems and $5 prizes for the harder problems . Prizes
are available to everyone in the W&L community; students, faculty, and

O-Week has finally arrived, and I am sure there are organizations (clubs, fraternities,
sororities, sports teams, etc.) that may be thinking about creating and ordering t-shirts for
rush, fundraising or whatever else. I encourage you all to use Kotis Design as your supplier:
www.kotisdesign.com. I am an on-campus sales representative for this great company. They
have a great team of designers, unbeatable prices, and features on their website that many
other design companies do not. Also, they can create many different products other than t-
shirts: coozies, frisbees, sweatshirts, bags, calendars, etc. If anyone has questions or would
like help contacting Kotis/placing an order through them, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,

New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no

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. Here's this month's problem,
which was recommended by Loren Pomeroy, a music instructor at W&L.
Opening and Closing Lockers: At a certain high school there are 1000
students and 1000 lockers. Each student is assigned a student id
number from 1 to 1000. The students then perform a simple exercise of
opening and closing certain locker doors. Initially all of the locker
doors are closed and a brave upperclassman steps forward to start the
process. She walks past all of the lockers stopping at each one. As
she stops at each locker, if her student id number divides the locker
number, then she opens the door of that locker otherwise she leaves it
closed. Then another student steps up and takes his turn. This time
some of the locker doors are open and some are closed. Each locker is
in a certain state, either open or closed. As the second student
passes each locker, he opens or closes the locker based on whether or
not his student id number divides the locker number. If his id number
divides the locker number, then he changes the state of that locker
door. Eventually, all 1000 students do likewise. In the end, some of
the locker doors will be open and some closed.
Easier Problem: Which of the doors numbered 1 through 10, if
any, are left open? Explain you answer.
Harder Problem: First explain why the order in which the
students go does not effect which doors are left open and which are
closed. Second, determine how many of the 1000 doors are left open
and which ones are they?
Submit your solutions to Professor Feldman in Robinson Hall. You must
submit a correct answer as well as an explanation of how you got your
answer. For the first few correct solutions there are $1 prizes for
the easier problems and $5 prizes for the harder problems . Prizes
are available to everyone in the W&L community; students, faculty, and
staff.

Friday Nite at the Movies
Morris Trimmer <mtrimmer@wlu.edu>
The Insider (1999) - "Friday Nite at the Movies" - 11 September 2009 -
Gillis Theater in Marshall Hall, VMI.
Based upon a true story about a CBS News "60 Minutes" report on
tobacco industry malpractices that was not aired due to internal
corporate pressure, The Insider charts the travails of Jeffrey Wigand
(Russell Crowe), a Brown and Williamson tobacco company scientist who
is persuaded by "60 Minutes" producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) to go
on camera for an interview with Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer).
As a matter of conscience and prodded by Bergman, Wigand reveals that
the tobacco industry was not only aware of the harmful and addictive
effects of cigarettes but also deliberately worked on increasing that
addictiveness. When CBS decides not to air the interview for
unprincipled and self-serving reasons, both Wigand and Bergman are
compromised. Wigand leaks the information to the press. Both men
learn that simply telling the truth is not enough and they wrestle
with whether or not they've made the right choices. Although CBS News
later aired the interview, reviewer Anthony Leong reminds us that its
reputation for journalistic integrity had been "indelibly tarnished."
Director Michael Mann's film was nominated for eight Academy Awards
and in 2006 Premiere ranked Crowe's performance as Number 23 of the
100 Greatest Performances of All Time. Show starts at 8:00 p.m. Open
to the Public. No charge for admission. For more information visit,

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 (rain date, Sunday)
Noon to 6pm
Boxerwood's 10th annual Fall Family Festival will include
performances by Middle-Earth Theater, a popular touring company from
Pennsylvania that combines storytelling and interactive children's
theater. The troupe travels to fairs and festivals with a castle in
tow and trunks filled with costumes--enough to dress up most of the
audience and make them part of the show.
This year's festival will also feature the Community Dance
Connection Theatre's premier of 'Three Steps,' a concert trilogy
created by CDCT choreographer Mary Lane. The dance will be performed
in four scenic locations in the woodland garden over the course of
the day.
In addition to performances, there will be traditional fall festival
fare, such as cider pressing and nature crafts. And bring an
appetite--this year's menu includes BBQ by When Pigs Fly, fresh
cider and donuts, iced tea, and kettle corn cooked up by W&L's
Campus Kitchen volunteers.
Local growers will set up farm stands in the meadow, and gardeners
can adopt a free 'Babe from Boxerwood'--one of 200 tiny trees dug up
from the woodland nursery. The SPCA will bring pound pets looking
for families, and the Recycle Bus will sponsor a children's art
activity using recycled materials.
Admission is $5/carload for Boxerwood members and $10/carload for
non-members. All festival performances and activities are free with
admission. Volunteers will be collecting cans of food for the RARA
Food Pantry.

Become a WLUR DJ!
Kimber Lauren Wiggs <wiggsk10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.

Become a WLUR DJ!
Kimber Lauren Wiggs <wiggsk10@mail.wlu.edu
>
Tired of having no say about what you hear on the radio? Think you have good musical
taste? Like sitting in small rooms full of sound equipment?
Then you should become a DJ for WLUR!
WLUR 91.5 FM Lexington accepts applications for new music shows in September,
December, March and June. Here is the process for becoming a DJ:
New DJs must submit a mix CD of 60 to 90 minutes of music. You’re essentially putting
together a sample show, so give it your best effort.
Accompanying the mix, include a sheet with the following information:
• Your name, e-mail address, and phone number
• Title and artist of each track on your mix
• The best possible show times for you
• Times when you absolutely cannot do a show
• Type of show you’re applying for (in case we can’t figure it out from your music)
Most shows for new DJs will be one hour, once a week.
You can drop mix CDs off at the WLUR office, located on the bottom floor of the Elrod
Commons, next to the Stackhouse Theater.
Applications for the undergraduate spring term (April-June) are due in the WLUR office no
later than Monday, September 14 at 5:00 p.m.
