The day when ghosts gibber

The sun was shining brightly when I began to write this Bulletin, and ten minutes later there were snowflakes in the air. Winter is closing in, and now we look forward to the hours of darkness -- or seek out some creepy stuff on the Web. It's Hallowe'en, the modern survival of the pagan festival Samhain, and little goblins will definitely be out tonight. During the day, too, as the kids from the psychology department's early childhood education centre go trick-or-treating through the PAS building.

There's a Hallowe'en party at the Graduate House tonight (grad students and guests), and though I don't have any specific information, I'd be surprised if a good many patrons of the Bombshelter and Federation Hall don't show up in costume tonight.

Talking about residence life

The Student Affairs Network Group has an event at 3:00 this afternoon and invites everyone: a presentation on "What residence life means for higher education at UW". The event will be be held in the north lounge of Ron Eydt Village (formerly Village II).

Daniel Shipp of the Student Life Centre explains what the Student Affairs Network Group is all about:

SANG is approximately 6 years old with a membership of approximately 60 staff and faculty and tries to meet two or three times a term. The co-chairs for this year are Rose Padacz, Denise Angove and me. The meeting structures tend to accommodate a professional development presentation on some aspect of student affairs (diversity, res life, health, student leadership, etc.) with a good 45 minutes dedicated to a round table activities update. SANG is not a policy group in any way. It is a forum for idea sharing, networking and development and promotion of the field of student affairs.
For more information, Shipp is at ext. 5438.

Reminders of today's events

And a rather special event in the architecture school's Arriscraft Lecture series. At 8 p.m. in the "green room" of Environmental Studies II, Robert Jan van Pelt of UW and Deborah Dwork of Yale University talk about their research into the architecture of Auschwitz, the most famous Nazi death camp.

First look at the Warriors

As the football playoffs are about to begin, so is the basketball season. The UW Warriors start their first game of the season at 8 tonight in the main gym of the Physical Activities Complex. It's an exhibition contest against a team from Toronto's George Brown College -- and besides some good basketball down on the court, up in the stands there will be prizes for the best Hallowe'en costumes.

Two reminders of what's coming

The arts alumni group holds its theatre-party outing to Toronto tomorrow, a trip to see "Arcadia" at the St. Lawrence Centre. Last-minute information: ext. 2005.

The faculty association will hold a special general meeting Tuesday, November 5, at 4 p.m. in Arts Lecture room 116 "to discuss the progress of salary negotiations".
