Make this Thursday a green day! Head over to the Regions Tower for Michael Garrison's talk on the Petroleum Tower at 2:00pm. Then, Centenary will host Dr. Jack LeBaue this Thursday at 9:00pm in the Whited Room (map).

Dr. Jeanne Hamming, head of the campus environmental group, writes, "Dr. LeBeau is a medical doctor who takes a multifaceted approach to his job. He has served on the boards of multiple environmental organizations, taught classes at Arcadia University, and has also found time to research, all while continuing to practice medicine.

"He is specifically interested in environmental toxins and will be speaking about 'Diesel Pollution—Troubles and Treatments' on Thursday at 9:00 pm in the Whited Room."

There you have it. For more information email Dr. Hamming at jhamming@centenary.edu. Also, Trudeau posted information about the Petroleum Tower updates.

A Solar Powered Centenary

It's a great 100th Anniversary for Centenary in Shreveport, and that doesn't stop with renewed environmental efforts. For the 2008-9 year, the college should be working with the city of Shreveport and Pratt industries on the city-wide recycling program (stay tuned for more on this). But this spring, the main concern is to get solar panels on top of the library.

The Centenary Environmental Association (CEA), the college's environmental organization, is promoting an event called "Chains for Change." The organization plans to 'chain' President Kenneth Schwab, Head of Residence Life Kevin Wagner, and two professors to a tree on Earth Day (April 22). However, there is a cost: $300 for each person.

Members of the CEA will be hanging out at lunchtime to collect student, faculty, and staff contributions. Individuals can also stop by the offices of the 'tree huggers' to donate in person. There can't be anything better than slipping a $20 bill in Kevin's bucket, right in front of him.

For more information and to get involved (whether student or not) contact Jeanne Hamming at jhamming@centenary.edu.

The event is not limited to just Centenary. Anyone wishing to donate and support getting renewable energy in Highland should contact Jeane Hamming or us at the radio station. We can be reached at 318-869-5296.

Offices:
Kevin Wagner: bottom floor, Student Life Office
President Kenneth Schwab: top floor, Hamilton Hall
Jeanne Hamming: Jackson 313

Convocation on Global Warming

the ruff and dirty:
Who: Patrick Murphy Speaks Global Warming
When: Thur, Jan 31st 11:10a
The event is open to the public and free.

the spill:

Are we all doomed because of Global Warming? Or is it all a bunch of hype from hysterical environmentalists trying to rob us of our sleep at night? How do you know? Who is telling the truth? The scientists? The politicians? The science fiction writers?

Come explore these issues with renowned ecocritic Patrick Murphy on Thursday, January 31st at 11:10am in Kilpatrick Auditorium. Dr Murphy will be giving a short talk called "Global Warming: From Absolute Denial to Apocalyptical Desire." Where do you fit in? Come find out!

This excellent talk is funded by the Convocations Committee and is sponsored by the Centenary Environmental Association. It also represents Centenary's attempt to participate in the national Focus the Nation Campaign.

Don't be blue. Go green.
