Drama Board is looking for anyone interested in directing a mainstage show (musical, anyone?) in the spring to tell us about your plans! No matter how vague, even if you just have sort of an idea that you want to do something, let us know! There’s a process that we have to go through with the LPAC folks to make sure everything’s all squared away for next semester, so it’s important for us to know that you’re out there so we can get the relevant iformation to you. Anyone who’s directed a show with us in the past is eligable to direct for the mainstage. So if that’s you, send us an email at dramaboard@googlegroups.com. Sweet!

The Village Education Project (VEP) is looking for new members! We are a non-profit organization originated and sustained (1) by your fellow Swatties and (2) by coordinators in Ecuador.

I lost a dark gray zip-up hoodie with white drawstrings, maybe in the Science Center or Papazian or Sharples or Parrish. It has my name inside. Please e-mail me if you find it!

I left my umbrella at Paces a few weeks ago and only noticed it today. It’s hot pink and folds up fairly small and has sentimental value and I would really really love to have it back. If you have it, or have seen it, please either e-mail me or contact me at (516) 784–0763. I shall reward thee with made-from-scratch cupcakes of a flavor of your choice. :) Thank you!!

I have (hopefully not) lost my Ti-89. As usual it is black with a black case. My name is scratched into the cover and back on the calculator

I accidentally grabbed the wrong jacket on Saturday night at Paces and have a black fleece. If you think this belongs to you e-mail me! I also lost my navy J. Crew hoodie with a sherpa lining. Please contact me if you lost your fleece or have my hoodie! Thanks!

I lost a Swarthmore lanyard that has two keys on it. If you have found it I would be enormously grateful if you’d send me an email or call me at 937.232.1725. Thanks :)

I lost it on Wednesday last week, probably in Kohlberg or McCabe. Please contact me if you’ve seen it.

An orange paperback called Conflict After the Cold War (ed. Richard K. Betts) was left in McCabe last week. It looks new, but has some erased underlining in Samuel Huntington’s essay on the conflict of civilizations. If you have this, please return it for a small reward. Thanks! Contact: Kate (kaizpur1)

I stored a small flat shipping box clearly labeled Helen Hougen ‘10 in Wharton EF storage at the beginning of summer. It is no longer there. Please return if you took it.

A black Casio calculator watch was left and went missing from the Tarble game room on the night of the 25th. There is a reward for its safe return. Email cfernan1 or call me at (254) 715–8422 and we’ll work something out. You didn’t do anything wrong; I just want the watch back.

iPod nano with earbud headphones found at table in Science Center Commons. If you think it may be yours, please describe color of case and headphones, and I will return it to you if there is a match.
