Finally winter in Superior is starting to actually look like winter in Superior.  Over the past few days a few inches of fluffy white stuff blanketed and covered most of the melted down ice-snow we had. It is almost like a fresh start to the semester.  As well, there has been an abundance of new postings on the Digest and here is your chance to start fresh and read it right? (I’ll pretend you all agreed with me there.)  Just in case the snow is hindering your ability to check your e-mail, here is what you missed on this week’s Digest.

Mock Trial Meet
The American Mock Trial Association student organization of University of Wisconsin Superior is hosting the Durst Memorial Upper Midwest Regional for Mock Trials this February 12-14 in the Yellowjacket Union.  This is definitely an event for people who like watching shows like Law and Order because Mock Trial is basically the same thing. Students are given a trial and they act it out.  The actual schedule is on the Digest e-mails but will be posted in the YU.  It is asked however that if attending, onlookers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled event.

2nd Annual Intercollegiate American Indian Storytelling “Sharing Our Gifts”
In conjunction with St. Scholastica, Lake Superior College, and University of Minnesota Duluth, the University of Wisconsin Superior is hosting the Ojibwe and Lakota Storytellers.  The event will happen on March 6, starting at 9am in the Yellowjacket Union Great room.  There will be a continental breakfast as well as many stories given in both the Ojibwe and Lakota languages.  A donation of a non-perishable food item is encouraged.  Any questions and concerns will be taken by Ivy Vainio at 715-394-8415.

Want to Learn Japanese?
Instructor Miaki Habuka will be offering two Monday night five week seminars starting March 1 through May 10 to teach willing students the Japanese language.  The first five week seminar is Japanese I, and the second is Japanese II.  The cost for each separate class is $49 or $89 for both.  What a better opportunity to enrich your culture then to learn a foreign language? If interested in registering, students can visit Old Main 102 the Continuing Education/Extension office or call 715-394-8469.

If we really want to be full and generous in spirit, we have no choice but to trust at some level.
