Subject: Friday Seminar, TODAY, 2/17 with John Schmit
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message: Stuff you already know: a peek inside the structures of language
* Warning: Obscenity and profanity will be prominently featured in this presentation

Because the capacity for language is innate in humans, we need to learn much less than we imagine about language and how to use it. It is fascinating, then, to look at the knowledge we have innately or acquire unconsciously and to see how it informs our manipulation of linguistic structures. And how could it be that we have a deep familiarity with linguistic rules that no school would ever allow us to put into practice?

Since most of the examples to be used in this presentation are unprintable, you'll have to show up for the seminar to find out what they are.

John Schmit, a member of the Augsburg Community since 1990, has spent way too much time studying prosodic phonology, an endeavor that has left him irreparably twisted. When you see the stuff that he's interested in, you'll see what we mean. Schmit's academic training spans linguistics and literature, especially the study of poetic meters and rhythmic organization in non-metrical poetry.

Refreshments are served at 3:30 in the Minneapolis Room; the presentation begins at 4.

Subject: ASAC Open-Mic Night!
Submitter: Andrew N Sayre, Student

Message: Monday, Feb 20th, from 6 - 8 p.m. in the Coffee Shop will be the first Open-Mic night of the semester! All are welcome to come perform, listen, and enjoy the free food! Thereāll be chips, salsa, chex mix, and popcorn as well as water and juice.

Subject: Calling All Poets!
Submitter: Ross Murray, Campus Ministry Associate; Tutoring Services Coordinator, Campus Ministry and Academic Enrichment

Message: This was sent to me by a friend. If any of you are poets, it might interest you.

WANTED: LUTHERAN POETS!

SIMUL -Lutheran Voices in Poetry, Attn: Mark Odland, poetry editor, 6244 Twin Oaks Drive, #2205, Colorado Springs, CO 80918, e-mail: simulanthology@hotmail.com

Magazine Needs: SIMUL is an annual publication of poetry, and gladly accepts submissions from all those who identify themselves with the Lutheran faith tradition. The name of this yearly anthology reflects Martin Luther's observation that as children of God we are both fully saints and sinners simultaneously. It is the goal of SIMUL to reflect this paradox, and explore the complexity, beauty, and messiness of the human condition. Poems submitted need not be religious, but they must be honest. Laughter and tears, faith and doubt, hope and despair all have their place in this unique publication. The cost of the upcoming SIMUL anthology is $13.99 plus $3.00 shipping and handling.

How to Submit: Submit up to 5 poems at a time. Line length for each poem is 32 lines maximum (spaces between stanzas count as lines). No previously published poems. Simultaneous submissions are okay, as long as you notify SIMUL immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. Name, address, phone number, and e-mail should appear as header on top right of each page submitted. Poems should be flush left, single-spaced, with double spacing between stanzas. Poem titles should appear in all caps or initial caps about 6 lines underneath contact information. Include cover letter containing contact information, short bio, and previous publications if any. Reading period is year around, but for your poetry to be considered for the upcoming publication, we must receive your submissions no later than August 1, 2006. Generally, responses are sent within 3 months. However, if poems are being strongly considered for publication, it may take longer. Often, the editor will comment on rejections. SIMUL acquires first North American serial rights. This gives SIMUL the right to publish a poem for the first time in any anthology, but all other rights remain with the author. Must include (SASE) "self addressed stamped envelope" for response when you mail in your submission. Please address all submissions to the editor, Mark Odland.

Subject: Help Impoverished Students in Nicaragua!
Submitter: Kathleen C Fischer, Student

Message: On a recent Center for Global Education trip to Nicaragua I heard many speakers with various political and social views. I heard one common solution to better life for the people of Nicaragua: education, specifically secondary and higher education. In Nicaragua, the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, most people live on $1 a day. Secondary and higher education can help people break out of poverty. It only costs $10 to send a Nicaraguan student to high school for one month and $30-$50 for one month of University.

I will have a table in the Christensen Center, February 20th, to raise awareness and money to help this situation. Stop by and learn how you can make a difference in the lives of the students and all people in Nicaragua!
