Green Screen Night - Tallgrass Prairie - Thursday, April 16th

8:00 pm - Dalby Hall

AMERICA'S LOST LANDSCAPE: THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE tells the rich and complex story of one of the most astonishing alterations of nature in human history.

Prior to Euro-American settlement in the 1820s, one of the major landscape features of North America was 240 million acres of tallgrass prairie. But between 1830 and 1900 -- in the span of a single lifetime -- the prairie was steadily transformed to farmland. This drastic change in the landscape brought about an enormous social change for Native Americans. In an equally short time their cultural imprint was reduced in essence to a handful of place-names appearing on maps.

The extraordinary cinematography of prairie remnants, original score and archival images are all delicately interwoven to create a powerful and moving viewing experience about the natural and cultural history of America.

Amongst those interviewed are writer Dayton Duncan, Wes Jackson of The Land Institute, biologist Laura Jackson, linguist Jerome Kills Small, historian Anton Treuer, landscape historian Lance Foster, writer Richard Manning, and Nina Leopold Bailey and Carol Leopold -- two of Aldo Leopold's children.

Science Club Presents "2012: Science or Superstition?" - Tuesday, February 17th
7:30 pm - Dalby Hall
Science Club Presents the screening of "2012: Science or Superstition?". December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse–the end of time–and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness.
Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect.

A open discussion will take place after the screening.

"Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days" - Wednesday, February 18th

7:30 pm - Dalby Hall

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with 'incurable' diabetes switching their diet and getting off insulin.

The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse diabetes* and change lives. Additional wisdom is provided by Morgan Spurlock, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Robbins, Rev. Michael Beckwith, and Doctors Fred Bisci, Joel Furman, and Gabriel Cousens.

Movie Club Presents "Casablanca" - Friday, February 20th

Rock Paper Scissors in Concert! - Saturday, February 21st

8:00 pm - Dalby Hall

Miranda Mallard, Darla Murphy, and Gemma Cohen formed the band Rock Paper Scissors when they realized that they each collectively believed that harmonizing was their dharma. You might of heard of Punk Band, or the Right Side-up Song Girls, or VatPitKaph, or the Uh Girls, or the Da Llama Sisters, or Trio Contemporario, or the Sophisticated Ladies and their Male Accompanists, or [fill in the blank]. They are all of these things and more — including their sit-in pianist Eric Hurlin. “We should have a raucous band argument and put the transcript on the website,” says the world-renowned Hurlin, who still remembers the group’s debate over their mild-mannered moniker. “In the band, Darla is Scissors, Miranda is Paper, and I Rock,” says Cohen, putting an end to speculation once and for all. To this day many who’ve experienced a Rock Paper Scissors performance agree the band members are quite eccentric.

Rock Paper Scissors reveal their love of music through shared smiles and a collective urge to give the gift of music to as many people as possible. “Music is how we give back to the world and to all of its inhabitants,” says Mallard. From Andrews Sisters to traditional folk to medieval mass, these three lovely ladies weave their voices into something far beyond ordinary. “I really like singing songs from such a diverse array of sound,” says Murphy. The band also writes their own music to bring a personalized angle to their unique sound.

Don't miss these incredible girls, this Saturday, only at MUM! Free for students, faculty, staff and IA course participants, $5 general.

The Academy Awards Party - Sunday, February 22nd

6:00 pm - Dalby Hall

Don't miss the 81st Annual Academy Awards! We'll celebrate this evening's festivities by broadcasting the event LIVE in Dalby Hall starting at 6 pm.

Science Club Presents "2012: Science or Superstition?" - Tuesday, February 17th

7:30 pm - Dalby Hall

Science Club Presents the screening of "2012: Science or Superstition?". December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless books and websites, magazine articles and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse–the end of time–and those who see a coming renewal, a rebirth of consciousness.
Adding fuel to the debate, some scientists see the increasing number of natural disasters in recent years as evidence of a catastrophic climax of events in 2012. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? In this film the leading researchers, writers and scientists in the field tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect.

A open discussion will take place after the screening.

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days - Wednesday, February 18th

7:30 pm - Dalby Hall, Argiro Student Center

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent documentary film that chronicles six Americans with 'incurable' diabetes switching their diet and getting off insulin.

The film follows each participant's remarkable journey and captures the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle, support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that diet can reverse diabetes* and change lives. Additional wisdom is provided by Morgan Spurlock, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Robbins, Rev. Michael Beckwith, and Doctors Fred Bisci, Joel Furman, and Gabriel Cousens.
