Finals Week count down is at five weeks.  Its getting close, and the broad spectrum of activity happening on the digest is really reflecting the five weeks we have left.  Be proud students! So close to break!  I want to give a quick shot out to the reader who so kindly came in to the Stinger office and pointed out to me my Monday-Tuesday mix-up on my last column, if it weren’t for amazing readers like you, my column wouldn’t be worth its two cents.  I thank you.  So for all of you who didn’t read the digest and choose to read me instead (which, again, I thank you for) this is for you! Here is what you missed on this week’s Digest.

One Book One Community Discussion
The Jim Dan Hill Library will be hosting a community discussion about the books Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingslover on Monday April 12 from 7pm-8pm and Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman on Tuesday April 13 from 6pm-7pm. Both disussions will be held in the Library’s room 103   The disussion on the Kingslover book will be lead by Maureen Salzer and the Fleischman book will be lead by Becky Ardren.  You can pick up guides for the discussions from Becky Ardren in Sundquist 236, or if you have any other questions you can contact Ella Cross at 715-394-8512.  Reading is cool, discussions are even cooler so why not?

“Speak Out, Superior”
Many of you should have noticed the red flags that are posted all around campus.  The nifty red flags are in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  CASDA or the Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse, which is housed in Hawkes Hall, is sponsoring an event Friday April 16 starting at 4pm at the Yellowjacket Union and ending at the Superior Community Gardens on Hammond Avenue from 5pm-7pm.  The event is free, and will feature a small march to the Superior Court House and sixty seconds of silence in honor of sexual assault victims. 

Campus Wide Calendar
Despite the fact that this new bit of technology could possibly put me out of a job, Technology Services has developed an on-line calendar where all news and events from all departments will now all be housed in one space.  The web link is www.uwsuper.edu/calendar.  Check it out! If we get one for student organizations, you may never have to read the Digest again!
