Updates and Such

So, after the HRC meeting last night I got the feeling like student life events are all trying to cram there way into the month of November before we all leave for break, which is AWESOME! Because there will be tons of things to do. Here's what's going on..

Thursday, November 8th, SAC has sponsered a comedian from 8:30 - 9:30 and HRC will be hosting Thirsty Thursday (with "Mocktails") and bingo in LRH Great Room.

Friday, 7pm, November 9th the Indian Student Organization will be hosting Divali, The Festival of Lights. There will be tons of dancing and food so come on out.

This Saturday at noon begins the Guitar Hero Tournament! I am soooo excited for it, I've already entered on the expert bracket, I'm sooo ready! Also my RA, Pavan is sponsering Trilogy of Trilogies which will run movies from Friday until Sunday.

Other events coming up are the Hunger Banquet (to promote Hunger Awareness Week), which involves students randomly choosing identities. Depending on which you draw, you will be either a rich person or someone living in poverty, depending on your social economic status you are given a spot. The poor people sit on the floor, covered in hay and are given rice, while the rich people enjoy the perks of money in a fine dining area complete with a 4 course meal. Shana Stine will be speaking at this event, she went to Kenya this past summer and will be relating the truth about how the other side lives, those who are not as lucky as we are.

Fall Feast (sponsered by HRC), will be offered the following day complete with everything that comes with a traditional Thanksgiving meal. All that we ask is a $1.00 donation or a canned food item which will later be donated to charity.

November 30th is the annual Fall Showcase for the music ensembles on campus, featuring the UIS Chorus, Band and Blue Rhapsody A Cappella!
