• THE WINTER 2002 ISSUE OF WITTENBERG MAGAZINE HAS ARRIVED and will be distributed around campus shortly. The latest issue can also be found online. In contrast to previous Web editions of the magazine, selected sections of this online version are in HTML, so they are easier to view, read, download and print.

Neil Levine, the Emmet Blakeney Gleason Professor of History of Art and Architecture at Harvard University, is the guest speaker. Levine is an authority on modern architecture and an expert on the work of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, whose rendering of the Westcott House is the subject of this year's Wittenberg Series poster.

His visit to campus is in conjunction with the Westcott House Foundation. Learn more about the Westcott House at www.westcotthouse.org and www.architectureweek.com.

Some background information on MIDI can be reviewed online.

• THE CAMPUS CABLE-TV PROVIDER, TIME WARNER, IS CURRENTLY UPGRADING the cable technology in our area to a fiber-optic network. It has advised that temporary interruptions of service may occur during the installation, but it will do its best to keep these to a minimum. The channel line-up will change when the upgrade has been completed, and that information will be provided as soon as it's available.

• WITTENBERG'S MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAMS are both off to terrific starts to the 2001-02 season, and both face tremendous challenges this weekend in a home doubleheader at the HPER Center. The women's team, 12-4 overall and 7-1 in the North Coast Athletic Conference, plays defending conference champion Ohio Wesleyan at 2 p.m. in a game to determine first place. The men's team, 15-3 overall and 8-1 in the NCAC, takes on Wooster at 7:30 p.m., also with first place on the line. To read more about the big games, check out the women's pre-game notes and the men's pre-game notes.



• COLLEGE REPUBLICANS ENJOY A MORE INFLUENTIAL BASE in the city than on campus, according to Stacy Pollock, president. "Students tend to register in their home towns, and we have found that we're more effective in Springfield than on campus," she said. For instance, the club set up the forum and organized a debate among the candidates in last November's city commission elections, and it expects to be very active as it campaigns for this November's election when several state contests and issues will appear on the ballot. On Thursday, Jan. 31, 10 of Wittenberg's College Republicans will travel to Arlington, Va. to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where 75 politically active conservative organizations will have booths set up to explain their positions. Learn more about the College Republicans and CPAC.



• APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED AT THE STUDENT CENTER for the position of Student Manager. There are three positions available. The application deadline is Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 4:30 p.m. Interested students should also attend the information session that will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the Li Room of the Student Center on Jan. 29th.



• "SPECIAL KUDOS TO THE ADVANCEMENT STAFF AND TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE WITTENBERG COMMUNITY who helped support in any way the efforts of The Defining Moments Campaign during the past five years. While we're very grateful to our generous donors and volunteers, the goal could not have been met without the enormous efforts of many faculty and staff who helped articulate the vision, define the projects, implement the fund-raising strategies, and serve on campus as good stewards of the gifts provided."
