This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar. While doing research this week, I happened upon a startling piece of information.  It seems that some students have their e-mails rigged to automatically delete the Digest as soon as it is sent.  It is amazing that the Digest, which changes every day with new important information, gets lumped in with the likes of spam and junk mail. For those who regularly read/sporadically delete the Digest, I salute you.  Hopefully this week you can take a break, relax, and let me tell you what you missed. 

Math and Computer Science Club LAN party
Who hasn’t played some sort of computer game in their lifetime? Are you super into computer games like Call of Duty 4, Halo CE, Counter-Strike, or Battlefield 2? If so, the Math and Computer Science Club wants you.  The MCS-Club is hosting a LAN (Local Area Network) this Saturday October 10at noon in the Advanced Computer Lab in Old Main room 132. At a LAN, gamers can play against or with those in the room with them, creating hours of fun.  Don’t forget your headphones, though, since those won’t be provided. 

Alumni Production of The Fourth Wall
Most of us know that this weekend is Alumni Weekend.  Many former faculty and students will be honored this weekend, including Professor John D. Munsell, a former Theater Professor who retired in 2001.  Apart from being inducted into the UW-Superior Communicating Arts Wall of Service, a production of The Fourth Wall will be put on by Alumni and the Rubber Chicken Theater. Performances are October 8, 9, and 10 in Holden Fine Arts, in the Experimental Theater.  The cost is $15 for adults, $10 for students, and $5 for UWS students. 

Alternative Columbus Day, Indigenous Day
Christopher Columbus, as we’ve learned in history classes, did a lot of bad with the good.  As an alternative to honoring Columbus, the First Nations Center is leading an Indigenous Day ceremony on Monday, October 12 at noon in the Alumni Room in RSC. This meeting is to honor, remember, and discuss the current and now lost indigenous people of North America, and to discuss the impact of westernization.
