Text of the page (random words):
eople are meeting and getting together sharing thoughts and ideas the fact that we can have an open mic shows that there are people willing to be involved you have to ask yourself how much involvement do you want how many people do you want involved until you feel content half the campus population everyone and you also need to keep in mind that creative writing is kind of an after thought to many people it s something to do when you have the free time but for the true creative writers its something you do a lifestyle not a hobby i don t think it s a fundamental problem i think its human nature it s survival many people don t think we need poetry to survive we need to show that we do not to make them all become poets but to believe in the power of creative arts and maybe to make them believe in themselves e g what can you say about the work of the writers who read during the open mic v b incredible quality i loved the range of style from very oscar wilde esque fiction with writing that pays critical attention to color and lines and light and space and people to poems that were almost like odes to the american midwest with characters trying to find happiness in baseball or liquor the open mic was a testament to the creative prowess of our students these people are pushing their writing to the boundary they are utilizing everything around them to make what they re saying as powerful and concentrated as possible you can tell that these are very reflective and observant writers they are very aware of themselves and the world they live in and above all they seem to believe in the beauty of this world there is always a saving grace found in these creative works there is always a chance for hope and i think that s important the chance for beauty is important not because we re all fools and think everything will always be okay but because we believe in the world and we know it s not ending any time soon e g can you make a guess as to the future of the analecta or to the south bend creative writers those people who live locally and are actively writing pursuing their art put another way what would you like to see happen to the creative writing scene on campus and in the south bend area v b well they re not going away i think we re all apart of this place for better or for worse i think more people are curious and interested in writing or at least being apart of something that is bigger than themselves these writers are giving fulfillment to their audience through their writing they are doing something special and magical and i think that kind of magic catches on people are a little lost because of technology we want something human something organic and maybe now more than say in the last 20 years some of the thrill of technology has scared us away people want to be around other people they want to talk about their feelings and they want to be brought back to the real world so with that said the south bend writers are only going to keep gaining momentum i don t think we have an objective or hidden priority we are just writing and because of that sincerity people will join us i d like to see people fight off being content i d like to see us believe in ourselves and the world i d like to see this sort of amity and passion survive posted in editorial student life 2 comments all in february 27 2008 by jake jones the iusb poker tournament has been a huge success on campus drawing players of all different experience levels into the sac for a night of texas hold em friday night the tournament started at 6 15 and took place in the sac the winner of the tournament received a prize of 100 and received points toward their overall standing in the campus poker club rankings the 16 highest ranking players at the end of four tournaments get invited to a fifth tournament where they will compete for the title of poker champion as well as a bracelet showing their status earning points in the tournament requires that the player be among the last half of the players standing for instance if there are 20 players at a tournament then only the top 10 would get points the points for the top ten players are determined by the order in which they are eliminated so the first person out would get one point and the last person standing would get 10 the ranking system is meant for those hardcore players and this is not a tournament for the poker elite since the tournament was free and offered a prize of 100 there were many people present who were beginners bringing in new players is actually encouraged at the tournament anyone who brings in a new player that has not been registered with the poker tournament gets an extra blue chip worth 50 to play with each table is outfitted with the rules of the game as well as all the chip values in order to ease beginners into the experience after registration for the tournament closes all the names of the players are put into a computer which randomly places them at numbered tables the poker playing then starts and throughout the night players are being eliminated and shuffled around while imagined fortunes are won and lost andrew wearingen started the drive for a poker club that focused on tournament and game theory wearingen started two years ago but never got off the ground because of all the red tape finally they were able to begin the club and the tournaments draw an average of 75 people each night with 250 people on the mailing list having a poker club is actually a new experience on college campuses and only a few other institutions have them available harvard has actually contacted iusb poker club president michael renfrow and has shown interest in turning poker into a study and even a campus vs campus competition however in order to move forward with more events and future goals the club needs more involvement from club members the poker club website is www iusbpokerclub com and questions can be emailed to pokerclb iusb edu the tournaments are free and open to everyone who wishes to participate posted in campus news clubs leave a comment 21st century scholars february 27 2008 by jake jones getting through college is often difficult enough but when students also have to carry the burden of financial restrictions sometimes the prospect of even attending college becomes an impossibility the 21 st century scholars program was created to change this by giving low income students the opportunity to go to college if they fulfill certain criteria that revolves around their life choices and their academic careers during high school students enroll in the program between 6 th and 8 th grade and they must sign a pledge stating that they will maintain a 2 0 gpa and abstain from drugs alcohol and violence the scholarship would apply to indiana colleges or trade schools for two or four year public institutions the scholarship would guarantee eight semesters of college if a student participates in any negative behavior such as drugs alcohol or crime then they will forfeit the benefits of the scholarship pauline jarvis ward of academic support services said when kids have something to look forward to it allows them to overcome a negative environment the extra support from the program has helped maintain an 85 3 retention rate among participants who now attend iu south bend overall the program helps to increase enrollment and give local students the skills they need to join the workforce after graduation when asked for some final thoughts on the program jarvid ward said i think it s a win win situation all the way around it is a great opportunity and i would encourage all who are eligible to take advantage of it for more information on the program contact the academic support services office in ai 148 posted in campus news community leave a comment the empty suitcase at an airport february 27 2008 by naoko fujimoto on the way back to america with two extremely heavy suitcases a backpack paper bag and a certain sized plastic bag for toiletries i took an eleven hour plane ride from japan at customs i carried luggage more than my weight instant miso soups my mother s handmade beans favorite chocolate sweets green tea new clothes and tons of japanese novels i seemed to live in a jungle using a microwave and reading books at the entrance of america i took off my jacket shoes belt hat and other accessories i felt a wanting for music and a pole but i had never shown the feeling on my face a security officer took my toothpaste from my plastic bag i explained to her that it was japanese toothpaste and she said i know what it is my nearly empty toothpaste completed its mission by diving into the trashcan for the sake of the world peace i wished that the officer took my hand cream instead the toothpaste was nearly empty but i could have used it for more than 5 days my budget for new toothpaste was planned in late january but it was not only about my budget the toothpaste was perfect fluoride some blue beads and fresh mint flavor it was for my mouth s happiness perhaps halitosis i must have the toothpaste when i arrived at the airport in south bend i might have had greeting kisses on the cheek or a romantic moment between my non brushed teeth and the final destination at the detroit international airport there is a long magical tunnel between the main building of the international flights and domestic flights the tunnel is decorated with colorful fluorescent lights the background music is like that of a romantic comedy movie a young woman who has her first business trip coincidentally bumps into a young entrepreneur of course her documents fly out her briefcase and his coffee is spilled on her shirt in their eyes passion sparks but she has to leave for her connecting flight he keeps her lost article a nice fountain pen and walks in a different direction of hers somehow a manager at the airport helps them to meet again this kind of background music is always in the tunnel i walk through the tunnel every winter break however i had not bumped into a young entrepreneur but my backpack wheels always get stuck on the escalator in the tunnel in this trip a young man was in hot pursuit after me through the tunnel before i brushed my teeth when i walked on the electrical esplanade he screamed hey you wait young lady i guessed that the young lady was supposed to mean myself but i usually try not to talk to strangers who scream in addition i did not want to talk anyone until i got my new toothpaste but he kept running toward me i felt insecure and frightened if i had lost my confidence i might have been dangerously in trouble so i quickly walked through the tunnel in the bright lights there were a few people in the tunnel they just looked forward to their destinations so they did not care about others my heart beat quickened and i sweated when i thought that the security booth was close the guy grabbed my shoulder i was caught he did not ask for my phone number or name but we walked together to the gate for south bend and his gate was close by don t lose your belt said the guy when we waved each other farewell after the security point stripped my belongings i probably did not wear my belt properly i lost the belt at some point in the tunnel and the guy was chasing me with the perfect romantic comedy music and the belt i did not know if there was a manager who would be a cupid between the guy and me if i had my toothpaste i would have had more confidence to ask for his name perhaps my confiscated toothpaste was the cupid but it had a mission for saving world peace not for my romance my first purchase in america was dentist recommended tooth paste i would have had more confidence to ask for his name perhaps my confiscated toothpaste was the cupid but it had a mission for saving world peace not for my romance my first purchase in america was dentist recommended toothpaste posted in entertainment features 1 comment the dating game the balancing act february 27 2008 by brandi miller the most important relationship in your life is not the romantic one or the relationship you have with your family it isn t with co workers or a mentor in life it s often hard to find a friend that you can tell anything to things that others cannot understand or things that most people will judge you for if you are lucky you will find a best friend sometime in your life who you can tell all of this to one who you can call night or day and know that he or she will be there for you no matter what best friends are there for you and you for them through all the good and bad they re the ones that hold your hand when you are down give you their last beer or for the ladies tampon watch your back when you say too much in the wrong place or dry your tears when your own relationship does the inevitable crash and burn they will sit up with you all night dissecting the entire span of your doomed from the beginning love affair and agree with you that none of it was your fault it was all the other person s and you are much better off without them when you meet a new person and become a couple you want to spend as much time together as possible you can t seem to get enough of that new guy or girl and think about them constantly it often seems to those around you that you put everyone else in your life on hold this is fine to do as long as it is a temporary hold and not a hold that stretches over months and months because some resentment may begin to build up and sour your friendship which may cause irreparable damage friends rely on each other for support and companionship and they need at least a little attention in this beautiful and awe inspiring time of your life you know the time you have with a new love before finding out all of the annoying little habits that they hid while in the wooing stage yes of course your friends are happy for you but if you neglect them for too long those old friendships will begin to wither and die like that houseplant you forgot to water for weeks on end it s very important to find a balance between a new romantic relationship and the friendships you cherish don t take it for granted that those friends will automatically be there for you after you repeatedly break plans with them or stop answering the phone when they call because you are with your new squeeze even though you answer each and every time he or she calls when you are with your friends always make time for your friends do the things you have always done with them because they need you as much as you need them and that friendship was as important to them as it was to you if you don t keep up with them who will be there for you when that new guy or girl you thought was so perfect ended up being the worst mistake of your life and you need a shoulder to cry on friends and houseplants can both be replaced with fake ones but the real ones are the best kind and sometimes a truly good one is hard to find posted in
