  2. PLEASE COME TO THIS! Msg me if you want to carpool, or we can start a thread on this. Saving these incentives, or at least speaking up about how much they have affected us is absolutely crucial. Without them, we have no Summer 423, no cool internships, no productions like “Ides of March”, “Scream 4″ or “The Double.” I know this is an important issue for all of this, so let’s change some minds and get these incentives to stay!

Thurs. 2/24

  1. 7pm, Nat Sci, Free w/ Passes (obtainable on the 4th floor of the Union)
  2. Passes will be required for this event and can be picked up in the UAC office (4002 Michigan Union) during normal business hours. Get there early, as seating is first come, first served and not guaranteed by passes. More about Paul: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092026/

And that is all we have for you this week. Please help save the Film Incentive!

  2. In the early 1960s, Herb & Dorothy Vogel a postal worker and librarian began purchasing the works of unknown Minimalist and Conceptual artists, guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. They proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists. HERB & DOROTHY provides a unique chronicle of the world of contemporary art from two unlikely collectors, whose shared passion and discipline defies stereotypes and redefines what it means to be a patron of the arts.   Part of our co-sponsored film series:  Egghead ’11:  An Information and Communication Movie Extravaganza Series.

  2. Bright Circle explores the history of Native American Indians’ participation and achievement in athletics. The 19th century saw the founding of “Indian Schools” – boarding schools that brought Native American children together from many different tribes, most often against their will. The objective was assimilation. The motto was, “Kill the Indian, Save the Man.” In addition to the insistence on removal of tribal customs and conventions, the “Indian Schools” focused their male population on sports, particularly football. Unintentionally, these institutions produced some of the best athletes and teams of the late 19th and early 20th century.
