Sodexo, the Campus Activies Board, and Student Activities will treat you to a Midnight Breakfast tonight, (Dec. 8 ) at 10:30 until midnight in the Geiser. Paul Strowe will play some acoustic rock to set the mood, and help relieve some pre-final stress during crunch time.
It’s a great tradition at Keuka as well as a great way to rejuvenate yourself in preparation for a few more hours of studying before some more finals.

In response to World AIDS Day, Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance(LGBTA) Resource Center will be sponsoring a speaker tonight (Dec. 1) in Hegeman 109 from 4 - 5:30 p.m.. The speaker plans to talk about his experiences with HIV/AIDS.
Prior to fall break in October, your RA posted a check out checklist for each room. He or she has again posted one for Thanksgiving break and you are expected to fill it out (along with all of your roommates leaving for break), sign it, and post it on your door. If for some reason you have lost this checklist, feel free to contact your RA or anyone on your residence hall staff for a new one.
Some issues that seem to reappear often are forgetting to unplug and defrost your fridge, along with leaving perishable items in fridges or on shelves. Remember, your RA has to enter every room to check for compliance with the check-out procedures. Also, remember to unplug your Ethernet cord, along with anything else electrical, as well as empty the trash, turn off the lights, and lock the door.
The Keuka College Chorale will have their fall concert tonight, Nov. 19, along with the Jazz Ensemble. The concert starts at 7p.m. in the Norton Chapel.
Social dancing is a big part of the Native Culture. Each song and dance has a meaning to it and has been passed down through generations. The water drum is a big part of the social and helps brings everyone together. Each dancer will dance to the beat of the drum and each step taken will correspond to the drum’s beat. Some people may have heard of a pow-wow, a social is similar in that there is singing and dancing but a pow-wow is more of a competition.
When: November 20, 2008
Where: Norton Chapel
Time: 6 - 7:30 p.m.
The Campus Life Section is a new portion of the Web site, and we’re still working on the best ways to do things.
We are having one problem in particular we think you can help us out with. As you’ve probably seen, there’s a feature called Organization Spotlight, and two clubs have already been showcased for October and November. However, we don’t have a good system for picking the recipient, and we want to be as fair as possible.
This is where you come in. We’re asking for your ideas about the best way to select the monthly recipient, beginning in December.
Let us know your suggestion by leaving a comment to this post.

AFSW is a very friendly group of students in general. They meet in a classroom, but move the seats around so that they can all see each other during the meeting, and are very welcoming to new ideas or new members. It’s clear that the majority of members — not just the officers — spend more time working toward making the club better than just during the meetings every week.
They are always willing to go that extra mile and reach out to much more than just the campus community. AFSW helps to not only bring awareness to the campus about worldwide issues such as domestic violence and AIDS, but its dedicated members also extend their hands and hearts to area agencies such as Clinton Crest Manor, Child and Family Resource Center, and Finger Lakes Addiction and Referral Agency (FLACRA).
This semester AFSW has raised $600 in a Silent Auction over Family Weekend, volunteered at Geneva’s Habitat for Humanity, bought 10 boxes of Girl Scout cookies for soldiers overseas, co-sponsored the Clothesline Project with the Women’s Center, volunteered for the Humane Society, raised more than $500 via spaghetti dinners at the Branchport/Keuka Park Fire Department, and had members participate in the Breast Cancer Walk. The group also participated in activity fairs and open houses, and have much more planned for this semester and next. Thirteen members traveled to Chicago, but all of the members helped raise funds to make it possible.
If you’re a member of the Class of 2011 (sophomores) and would like to run for a Student Senate office, take note: petitions are located on the door of the Senate office (next to Phillips Lounge in Dahlstrom).
Petitions, along with a short statement about why you would be best for an elected position, must be placed in D-box 42 by Sunday, Nov. 8 at noon.
A senator is needed to represent the commuter students, and this commuter cannot be from the duplex. (See previous information about petitions).
Senior pictures are being taken taken this week. If payment is an issue, talk to Jen Furner when you sign up for your appointment. Sign-up sheets are located next to the window outside the student activities office. Contact yearbook editor Trista Wesley at twesley@mail.keuka.edu if you have questions.
