The 21st Winter Olympics are officially in full swing! I admit, I am a huge fan of the Winter Olympics and have watched events every day so far.  However, this has severely cut into my homework/doing activities around campus time. This was incredibly sad though, because the past week, the Digest has literally exploded with things to do.  Even picking a few things to highlight this week were incredibly difficult! So my suggestion (which I apply to myself as well) is to DVR (or if you still have a VHS tape) whatever Olympic event and get out and enjoy campus! This is what you missed on this week’s Digest.

Diversity Film Festival
One of the things the University of Wisconsin Superior is good at is bringing attention to issues that matter to students.  One major issue is that of diversity.   We see and deal with diversity issues in our everyday life.  Now Student Government Association Diversity Director Anita Giri is putting on a Diversity Film Festival Friday March 5 to call attention to this issue once again.  Gran Torino, a movie stared and directed by Clint Eastwood, will be shown at 4pm in the Yellowjacket Union Great Room.

Student Government Association Open Positions
UWS is a very easy campus to get involved in, because there are opportunities around every corner.  A very big opportunity has arisen in the Student Government Association.  Two senator positions have become available to students, Senator At Large and a Communications and Fine Arts Senator.  If ever was a time to want to make your voice heard on campus, this is an incredible opportunity.

“Wiley and the Hairy Man”
The University Theater is opening its second production of the year this Friday February 19at 7:30pm at the Manion Theater in the Holden Fine Arts building.  The story is about a boy and his dog and their adventures.  Performances are February 19, 20, 26, and 27 at 7:30pm and February 21 and 28 at 1pm.  The proceeds from the performance on February 27 will be donated to the Animal Rescue Foundation of Superior. Tickets cost $12 adults, $10 seniors, $6 children, $2 for UWS students. Special Group rates are available.
