Ms. Leavitt discovered the first way of measuring the universe, to demonstrate that heavens were larger than the Milky Way, the limit of creation in her day.  Tech Theatre Presents “Silent Sky,” for two weeks, Thursday – Saturday, October 13 – 15 and 20 – 22, in the McArdle Theatre, at 7:30 PM each night.

Attention Student Organization Officer: Funding Opportunity

Cummins, Inc. is offering your student organization the chance to receive funding!  In order to qualify for the funding, Cummins would like each student organization to create a 10-15 minute video presentation based on the template, Cummins Sponsorship Event 2016.  The presentation video needs to be made and submitted to Joe Thompson (josephth@mtu.edu) in the Pavlis Honors College by Friday, November 4th at 12:00 PM.  Cummins representatives will review the video presentations and award funding a few weeks after submission.

Over $5,000 in funds was distributed last year and we anticipate a similar amount available this year.  Based on feedback from last year, a successful presentation is concise but still provides suitable justification for each bulleted item in the presentation template.

Constitution Day Events
Essay Contest – Topic: Patriotism and the First Amendment
NFL teams play the Star Spangled Banner before every football game.  Colin Kaepernick, a player with San Francisco 49ers, has angered fans by refusing to stand during the song.  He chooses to remained seated or take a knee to highlight the problem of discriminatory police practices.  Unlike in the NBA, where players are required to stand, NFL rules are silent as to whether players must stand during the National Anthem. The NFL is reportedly considering requiring all players to stand for the Anthem. Refusal could result in a player being fined.  Would such a requirement be constitutional or would it violate the 1st amendment rights of individuals that choose to remain seated as a form of protest.  Would your response be different if it were a high school or university requiring all students to stand during the anthem or be ejected from the stadium as if they had engaged in other inappropriate behavior? Please support your position with a logical, constitutionally based argument in 600 words or less.
Send your essay to: Dr. Susanna Peters, speters@mtu.edu no later than Thursday September 15 at Midnight.
PRIZES: First, Second, and Third Place Winners will receive gift certificates to Campus Bookstore in the amounts of 1st $100, 2nd $50, 3rd $25.
Winners to be announced at the Husky Statue celebration,Friday, September 16, at Noon (East Reading Room of the Library if rain).

Canterbury House to Host John Shelby Spong
Sunday, September 11 from 2 – 4PM in the MUB Ballroom

World-famous biblical scholar, writer, speaker and human rights champion John Shelby Spong will speak to the intellectual and spiritual challenges of the 21st century during his visit to Michigan Tech.
As a visiting lecturer at Harvard, Cambridge and universities and churches throughout North America and the English-speaking world, Spong is one of the leading spokespersons for liberal Christianity.

He has initiated landmark discussions of controversies, particularly on racial inclusion, women’s ordination and justice for gay, lesbian and transgender people and has become an outspoken advocate for change. Spong proposes a Christianity based on justice and love rather than judgment and literal-minded readings of the Bible. He argues that fundamentalism is incompatible with true Christian faith.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and book signing by the author. The public is welcome and there is no admission.

Tech Theatre Holds Auditions for Two Plays on August 31 and Sept 1

Michigan Tech Theatre Company will hold auditions next week for two show to be performed in the Fall Semester.

Auditions for both plays will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31 and Thursday Sept. 1, in the McArdle Theatre, second floor of the Walker Building. Call backs will be held as needed.

“Silent Sky” by Lauren Gunderson:

Both Science and fiction, “Silent Sky” blends the discovery of how to measure the universe with the essence of the discover’s life story. Set against the turmoil of the cry for social justice at the beginning of the 20th century, the chronicle of Henrietta Leavitt counterpoints the power of a passion for work with the desire for love and family. Five parts – four women and one man.

Six Performances, October 13-15 and 20-22. Rehearsals will take place Sunday through Friday evenings. All actors will not be required at all rehearsals. No preparation is required for auditions which will include games and reading from the script.

“The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui” by Bertolt Brecht.

This dark comedy, set in ’30s Chicago, tells the story of a strongman’s rise to the head of the Cauliflower Turst that has many parallels around the world today.

Written as a parable about Hitler’s rise to power, the story applies to any situation in which a charismatic leader exploits the economic fears of the little guy to seize more and more power.

There’s jazz, gun-molls, shady backroom deals and lots of dark laughs.

There are parts for three or more women (up to six possible) and 19 or more men (up to 30 possible … one singing part—baritone preferred). There are also two gender-irrelevant roles.

No monologues required for audition, just come ready to read and dressed for movement. No previous experience required. There will be three performances Nov. 10-12.

Husky Motors New On-Line Reservation System

Husky Motors introduced its new on-line reservation system on May 16. Now, as a new school year approaches, we would like to provide you with some reminders, helpful tips and updates based on customer feedback. The original article is linked for those who may have missed it.

All who reserve vehicles or will be driving them must be registered in the reservation system. So, if you plan to reserve or drive a Husky Motors Vehicle, take a moment now to register using this link—it’s easy to do.

Here are a few things you should know about the reservation system:

Reservations can be made, changed or cancelled on-line, 24/7
All reservations are dispatched through our outdoor key kiosk, which is located on the east entrance of the Facilities Management Building. The key kiosk provides 24/7 access to your vehicle reservation.
As requested by our users, we have installed a sun shade to our outdoor key kiosk. This will help shade the kiosk screen during peak sunshine hours.

When picking up and returning your reserved vehicle, they can be found and returned to the lot designated for Husky Motors vehicles (North East of the Facilities Management Building). Also, if leaving a personal vehicle during your reservation period, it must be parked in the lot designated Husky Motors vehicles.
Reservations must be picked up and returned within one hour of the reservation time, before or after the scheduled time (a two-hour window).

Vehicle keys must be picked up and returned to the kiosk by the individual listed on the reservation.
Vehicles should be returned with a full tank of fuel and free of any debris or trash—another reservation may start soon after your return.

Husky Motors values your business and appreciates all feedback provided. Utilize our new on-line system to provide reservation and/or vehicle specific feedback.
