Last Call for Nobel Forum Seminar Proposals
We have space for a few more Saturday Seminars at the Peace Prize Forum, which will be held at Augsburg, March 5-6, 2010. We have a strong line-up of presenters, but could use a few more Auggies in the mix. Submissions can be made on the web at www.augsburg.edu/ppf, and most be received by Sunday, Jan. 31.
This year, the conference focus draws on a phrase from President Ahtisaari's Nobel Lecture, in which he states, "Wars and conflicts are not inevitable. They are caused by human beings. There are always interests that are furthered by war. Therefore those who have power and influence can also stop them. Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled, and there are no excuses for allowing them to become eternal." We encourage proposals that address the challenges of increasing and supporting the political will to resolve current, ongoing conflicts, but are open to any proposals that relate to the work of any of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. Possible topics for seminars include human rights, climate change, environmental justice, international aid, the relationship of U.S. foreign policy to the work of peacemaking, micro-credit, global health, nuclear proliferation and disarmament, refugees, genocide, and the work of the United Nations.
Presentations will take place during two time slots on Saturday, March 6 from 12:30-1:30 and 1:45-3:00. Selected presenters receive an honorarium of $150. Questions can be directed to Prof. Joe Underhill (underhill@augsburg.edu).

All are welcome. Refreshments will be provided.

Augsburg's Indigenous Student Association (AISA)'s
2nd Traditional Powwow
Saturday, March 20, 2010
Si Melby Gymnasium, Augsburg College Campus
Grand Entries (Start times): 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM
Community Feast: 5:00 PM
NO Admission fee - FREE!
There will be several vendors (craft/products and non-profit organizations) as well as a concession with Indian Tacos for sale by AISA.
Please note for those unfamiliar with a Powwow that a Grand Entry is the 'start' of a session where all the dancers come into the circle together. A session typically goes 3 hours and people are welcome to come and go throughout the day, however, if you have never experienced a grand entry I would suggest doing so. It is truly a cultural experience. We will take a break for a feast, in which all are invited, and the second session will start with the grand entry at 7:00 PM and will end around 9:30 PM. Within the sessions, there will be a variety of dances by category or
Augsburg hosted the first Powwow on campus last March, having close to 3,000 people throughout the day and hosting 14 drum groups and over 200 Native dancers. It was a huge success and we are looking forward to year #2.
Any questions or if you would like to get involved and/or co-sponsor this year's Powwow, please contact Jennifer Simon, Director of American Indian Student Services and Advisor to AISA at 612.330.1144 or simonj@augsburg.edu

Stay at Home Car Mechanic
My good friend is a stay at home father who is looking for cars to repair. He has 10+ years of experience, has access to a shop that he can use with a full set of tools and equipment, and most importantly, is one of the most honest and thorough people I know. He has been keeping my car running for the last 2 years, and asks a fraction of the price that traditional mechanic shops will charge (plus you can trust him to only suggest necessary work). If you need any work done, or your car is due for a tune up, please support him and his family. His name is David and he can be reached at 952-270-5030
