Hey folks:
Please remember to RSVP Laurie if you plan on attending coffee with the Churchlands Wednesday morning (10:30). As of Friday, space remains for at least a dozen students.
Also, if anyone is able to take a shift at UM Info days over reading week, could you please let Laurie know. She has the details, but the days are the 18th and 19th. Last year, Native Studies had a Playmobil diorama that seemed to suck in the kids. If anyone wants to donate their Chisholm nugget for the week, we could probably put together something even more impressive.

Philosophy Club Schedule: Update
Hey all:
It looks like we have two remaining Fridays this term for student presentations: February 6, and the last Friday of the term. I think I'll give a talk on the 6th, and John Dyck is interested in taking the last Friday.
Most Thursday afternoons are also free, and it would be easy to arrange a venue and refreshments for a talk or two on any of these days. Several students have shown interest in presenting papers, so please get in touch with either Dan, Wes or myself and we can get things organized.
Of course, undergraduate presentations are encouraged as well!!!
