For the week of November 1, 2004

Definitely
fewer leaves on the trees. Definitely. But
all things considered, still fairly mild in Upper Michigan. And believe
it or not, youngsters didn't have to wear snowsuits over their Halloween
costumes last night. It's been hanging around in the low 40s most days lately,
with the rest of the week calling for more of the same. It's not until next
week that the four letter word makes an appearance in the forecast. But
I'll worry about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day. |

WWII resistance fighter one of several NMU Holocaust Awareness activities
 |
Brenda
Senders, a Ukrainian Jew who was a resistance fighter in WWII, will give
a presentation as part of the Holocaust Awareness Project. She will speak
at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9, in the Whitman Hall commons area. The public
is invited to attend this free event. As a young girl, she escaped from a ghetto and helped fight Nazis with weapons and ammunition her group seized from German conveys it attacked. She will talk about her experiences and try to educate the public on the importance of making sure an event like the Holocaust does not happen again. The NMU Holocaust Awareness Project is sponsored by the Omicron Mu chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society. “The project is designed to promote awareness and prevent genocide,” said Jessica Heikkila, an international studies senior from Marquette. Other events include a display in Olson Library of relevant works submitted by students, which will be showcased through November; a film, “The Grey Zone,” portraying life at the Auschwitz concentration camp, at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15; and a forum on confronting modern genocide, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 1. The film and forum will be in the Whitman Hall commons area. |
Just what you asked for...
You probably would be very surprised to hear how many times someone has asked for the NMU Fight Song or the Alma Mater. We now have them available for you to download.

And what would be the fun in having the music if you can't sing along?

"What a great issue.
The pics made me feel like I was back "home." Beautiful fall colors,
'Cats kicking butt on the ice and the panoramic view from Hogsback was like
deja vu. Keep them coming, Deanna--you're the best! An old 'Cat down in Motown."
