A Body Image Support group is meeting every Mondays at 9 p.m. in Kohlberg 328. Healthy snacks provided.

Open only to all students who have experienced body image issues. All genders welcome.

It is that time of year again! The Photo Club is running a student photography show during
Family Weekend and we are accepting submissions now!

Submission guidelines are simple: Send full-size photographs of any subject to Steve Dean [sdean1@swarthmore.edu] by Friday, April 3rd.

If you want to submit film photographs, please send either Steve Dean or Miles Skorpen a copy via the Mail Room or hand it off to either of us in person.

After we receive submissions, we’ll select a limited number of
photographs, and then matte them all (and, if funds allow, even frame
a few). There is no limit to the number of photographs you can submit.

See further details here: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/photo-club/

If you are interested in helping with the show (matting, selecting
photographs, organizing) send me an email as soon as you can.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics gives one or more awards each year for the best essay on a mathematical topic written by a Swarthmore student or students. The prize is $200 per winning paper, and winners have their names engraved on the Brinkmann Prize Plaque and are asked to give a lecture on their work. (This lecture can be given in the fall, if desired.) This prize honors Heinrich W. Brinkmann, who taught at Swarthmore from 1933 to 1969.

Any mathematics paper is eligible, including papers written for summer research projects, senior conference, and W courses – so long as every author is a Swarthmore student. However, Brinkmann papers should be aimed at a general mathematical audience, who may know nothing about your special topic and for whom clarity and readability are key. Papers written for research groups or advanced courses often assume familiarity with special material. In order to be strong candidates for the Brinkmann Prize, such papers should be revised before submission.

Papers should be submitted to the chair, Professor Stephen B Maurer, by 5pm on Monday, April 27, 2009. For further information, please contact Prof Maurer (smaurer1, SC 139).

I’m writing to inform people of a wonderful opportunity to go Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Sea Symphony” and Brahms’ “Schicksalslied (Song of Fate)” at Carnegie Hall in New York City on the 18th of April. The two works will be sung by The Saint Cecelia Chorus and conducted by David Randolph. Ticket prices range from 20$ to 77$, if you are interested you can contact me either by email or phone for directions and procurement of tickets. I highly recommend it, the chorus is one of the east coast most accomplished amateur choruses and the works they are singing are a treat.

Global Health Forum, in partnership with SolesUnited and Crocs, Inc., is collecting Crocs and sending them to people living in Pémon, Venezuela in order to improve their health and quality of life.

So how do Crocs help improve people’s lives?
—Basic footwear improves hygiene and lowers rates of infections transmitted through barefeet, like tungiasis. These infections can greatly increase the risk of secondary infections, like tetanus, which can be lethal.

These infections are completely preventable—Please donate any available Crocs to be recycled and redistributed—collection begins after Spring Break!

Collection Bin Locations:

Shane Lounge
Sharples (top lobby)

(and as always, every little bit helps. GHF and the people of Pémon thank you!)

Students interested in the Buenos Aires Program for Fall 09 should contact Professor Diego Armus, darmus1@swarthmore.edu as soon as possible. There are still few available places. Swarthmore in Buenos Aires provides individually-crafted programs of study with total immersion in the academic, artistic, social and political life of Buenos Aires. It aims at serving students in social sciences, the humanities, and applied sciences interested in taking their Spanish to an advanced level of fluency, as well as those at beginner or intermediate levels. But along with its language improvement component students participating in the Swarthmore in Buenos Aires program will organize their work around three or more areas of interest (in any field or discipline) that may include directed reading on a chosen subject, a research project, community work, an internship in a lab or in a cultural institution. They will participate in individual weekly discussion meetings with their mentors – university professors, artists or researchers – as well as in open courses at several public and private universities. Academic oriented traveling (from Patagonia to Iguazu Falls to areas of the Argentine interior with a strong native American presence) could be part of the program’s offerings. Students may enroll for one semester or the full year. For a detailed description of the different ways in which you can plan your stay in Buenos Aires, please contact Professor Diego Armus, History Department and check the Program Web site: http://www.swarthmoreba.com.ar
