With a
gentle
boo!
MC students dressed up, stocked up and decorated all five
residence halls for the annual Trick-or-Treat, to the delight of
hundreds of local youngsters.
Local election
analysis will come from Manchester College for listeners of WBOI-fm 89.1, Northeast Indiana Public Radio on
Tuesday, Nov. 7. Our Leonard Williams (political science) and
Brad Pyrah (accounting) will join WBOI general manager Bruce
Haines from 7 to 8 p.m. This is Brad's debut in this arena, and
we thank him for stepping up!
Get comfy in Cordier.
The Cinema Series has moved Cordier Auditorium for the remainder
of the year. We tried it in Flory Auditorium and that just
didn’t work. For the VIA (and Cinema Series) schedule,

Retention,
recruiting, FYC, telling the story …
these are
just a few of the topics of conversation and presentation at the
fall meeting of our Board of Trustees last week. Want to know
more? Copies of the trustees’ Briefing Book are on reserve at
Funderburg Library. The book is a progress report on our
strategic plan.
Early Alert is nearby, ready to help students who are
struggling.
We have all kinds of supports in place to help all of our
students succeed (and stay with us!). ANYBODY can refer a
student to EarlyAlert, which will connect them with resources to
overcome their individual challenges:

What’s got lots of tabs and looks way different (until you
change it)?
The new Internet Explorer 7 browser! You can download it now
from the Microsoft website,
click here, to get a jump on using it. It will come to all
of us otherwise in the spring, when we upgrade to Microsoft
Office 2007. Version 7 saves lots of memory when we have several
browsers open.
Web pagers, you heard it here first:
That new version of Office will not include FrontPage for web
design. Nope, we’ll get SharePoint instead in the package.
SharePoint is not available yet for us to practice on, sorry.
We’ll also get a new Firefox 2 web browser and a new Contribute
4 web design application.
Of course,
tables have legs, but …
Sometime after last Thursday, an 8-foot fold-up banquet table
disappeared from the Physicians Atrium in the Science Center. We
had a bunch of activity in that neck of the woods that night:
admissions, art unveiling, Haunted Forest. Dave Friermood would
really like to have it back. If you borrowed or moved a table,
please let
Dave know, x5321.
If you missed the artistry of our eerily talented
alumna Karen June Klimpert behind the MSO’s production of Danse
Macabre, the still-life version is on display in Link Gallery
this month. Jim Adams has placed text panels at both ends of the
show, with a couple skeletal overlays.
Here’s the news release.
Do you
have bilingual skills?
Safety and
Security maintains a list of local interpreters to translate for
College and local public safety officials. The volunteer
Interpreters may be called at odd times, as emergencies tend to
occur. Contact
Karen Burns, x5001. She’ll want to know the languages we
speak.
Did you know we have a Peace Choir?
Or a Drum Group? Those who would like to sing in the choir,
drum, dance, or generally help out, come together on Monday
evenings in the Chapel. Drummers will learn hand drumming
techniques and rhythms to accompany the Peace Choir. All levels
of experience welcome, no drums necessary. The Peace Choir will
sing of peace, justice, openness, spiritual growth and healing.
Drummers meet at 5:30 p.m. Mondays; the choir at 6:30 p.m. To
sign up, just show up, or
contact
Brian Kruschwitz, 982-2539 or
our peace studies intern,
Ben Leiter

For those whose computers are waking up an hour early:
The College computers made the change to Daylight Savings Time,
but if your personal computer did not, chances are you have not
set the operating system to the Eastern Time Zone. In Windows
XP, double-click on the clock/time (usually in the lower right
corner of your screen) and select the Time Zone tab.
Make sure
the box for “Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings
changes” is checked, too. Mac and Linux users will want to seek
online support.
Welcome to
Manchester!

My family
and I would like to thank the College Community for reaching out
to us
with prayers, flowers, plants, cards, donations, visits and kind
words after the sudden passing of our dear Mother.
In
conversations with people who visited, we were overwhelmed by
the stories from those whose life she had touched in her own
quiet way. Thank you.

and the Florella Moudy Family
To lose
someone who's loved you all your life,
Having held you long against the darkness,
And felt the press of friends upon your sadness,
Need cutting through your torment like a knife ...
Kindness is a sign of inner plenty:
Yours does much to mitigate my pain.
Of grief comes neither clarity nor gain
Unless friends fill its passion with their beauty
Unused
feet!
This is
Lydia
Grinstead, newcomer to the Manchester community, and the
Melissa-Brad-Sam Grinstead family. “Lydia
is a perfect baby – eating and sleeping and rarely crying. Sam
just loves her and wants to hold her all the time,” reports
Melissa (college advancement).
