Policinski |
Gene Policinski
will speak from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Mitchell Auditorium in the Health
Professions Center. His topic will be "The First Amendment Under Fire: A View
from the 21st Century."
Policinski joined the Freedom Forum,
a nonpartisan foundation dedicated to free press
and free speech, in 1996 as a
journalist-in-residence. The First
Amendment Center, which is
part of the Freedom Forum, is dedicated to preserving and protecting First
Amendment freedoms.
At the Freedom
Forum, Policinski also served as special assistant to the chairman and chief
executive officer, manager of special programs and outreach, Washington editor
of the foundation's former online news service, and director of media
relations and special programs before assuming the role of deputy director of
the First Amendment Center in 2000.
He also serves as executive producer of Speaking Freely, a weekly
program about free expression airing on public television. From 1998 to 2001
he was host of Newseum, an hour-long weekly magazine program broadcast
on PBS Worldwide.
Policinski's career as a journalist began in 1969 in Indiana, where he worked
as a reporter for The Greenfield Daily-Reporter and as a correspondent
for The Indianapolis Star and the Associated Press.
He also was a reporter for the Chronicle-Tribune in Marion, Ind.;
served as Indiana bureau chief for Gannett News Service; covered Congress, the
Pentagon, and the White House for Gannett; was the first Washington editor for
USA TODAY; and was on-air host of three news, sports, and information
programs on USA TODAY Sky Radio.
Policinski's lecture at USI is free and open to the public.
The Sydney Berger Lecture is an annual event sponsored by the USI School of Liberal Arts to honor the memory of Sydney Berger, one of Evansville's most prominent attorneys and an instructor in constitutional law at USI. Because of Berger's commitment to individual liberty, the theme of the program relates to civil rights or liberties. The lecture, established in 1996, is underwritten by local attorney Charles Berger, Sydney Berger's son, and his wife Leslie.

University of Southern Indiana Theatre will present Waiting for Godot beginning Wednesday, October 8, in the Helen Mallette Studio Theatre in the Liberal Arts Center.
 |
|
Freshman Greg Schafer, left, and senior Joe Ciresi will portray the tramps, Estragon and Vladimir, in USI Theatre's production of Waiting for Godot. For tickets, call 812/422-3970. |
The
most famous work of Nobel Prize-winner Samuel Beckett's illustrious career,
Waiting for Godot uses comical wordplay, slapstick physical comedy, and
vaudevillian characters to explore the ultimate questions of human existence.
"I am excited to have the opportunity to work on one of the 20th-century's
greatest plays," said Elliot Wasserman, director and associate
professor of theatre.
"It is an interesting script. There is a real sense of comedy in the play. You
don't realize how much humor there is until you hear it out loud."
Written in 1949, Waiting for Godot embraces the absurdity of man as two
tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, await the arrival of Godot, who never comes.
Freshman theatre major Greg Schafer, Plymouth, Ind., will portray
Estragon, and senior theatre major Joe Ciresi, Indianapolis, will
perform as Vladimir. Schafer and Ciresi both appeared in last year's USI
production of Tartuffe, and Ciresi portrayed two characters in the
spring production of American Dreams.
Junior Leo Kempf, a theatre major from Newburgh, has the role of
Pozzo, a master, and freshman Derek Daniel, a speech/theatre major from
Rockport, Ind., will
portray Lucky, Pozzo's slave. Freshman Dustin John, a theatre major
from Owensville, Ind., will
appear in the role of Boy. Kempf, Daniel, and John also appeared in
Tartuffe.
The design
team includes Richard Kuykendall, assistant professor of theatre,
set/lights; and Shan Jensen, associate professor of theatre, costumes.
The production will run October 8-11 and 15-19. Curtain times are 7 p.m.
Wednesday and Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Ticket are $9 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, and $3 for USI
students. Season subscriptions also are available.
For tickets or information, call 812/422-3970.

Program examining 'inner beauty'
The Liberal
Arts Community of Scholars Lecture Series October 23 will feature Dr.
Peg Zeglin Brand, assistant professor of philosophy and gender studies
at Indiana University-Bloomington.
She will present "Beauty Below the Surface: Artistic Intentions" from 7:30 to
8:30 p.m. in Kleymeyer Hall in the Liberal Arts Center.
Brand's
program will consider "inner beauty" as it relates to artistic intentions in
feminist art of the past three decades. The talk will highlight parts of a
forthcoming book that she also is illustrating.
Both her scholarly and artistic approaches to the topic blend the areas of
aesthetics, feminist theory, art history, and theories of humor including
feminist parody.
Brand's publications and presentations have addressed definitions of beauty in
ancient times and questioned whether or not beauty can be considered
"subversive."
She is the editor of
Beauty Matters, a collection of essays published by Indiana University
Press, and co-editor of Feminism and Tradition in Aesthetics (Penn
State Press 1995), which was nominated for the Susan Koppelman Award for the
best edited work in the area of feminist studies in popular and American
culture.
Brand holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from University
of Illinois-Chicago, an M.A. from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a B.A.
in fine arts, painting and printmaking, from University of Illinois-Chicago.
She previously taught at University of Illinois-Chicago, University of
Arizona, Ohio State University, and University of Oregon.
The presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, call
812/464-1740.

The Indiana-Kentucky Border
Section of the American Chemical Society, with leadership from the USI
Department of Chemistry, won two national awards at the society's fifth annual
ChemLuminary Ceremony September 9.
In addition to "Best Local Section" in the small section category, the local
chapter was honored for "Best Section Interaction with a Student Affiliate
Chapter."
"The outstanding local section award is extremely competitive among sections
of similar size. We competed with local sections in places like Chicago and
New York. Some of these sections have more people, but we are able to be
competitive because a few people work so hard," said Dr. Marie Hankins,
chair of the Department of Chemistry.
"We've been trying for the outstanding local section for a long time. We are
very proud of it."
The Indiana-Kentucky Border Section sponsors educational activities during
National Chemistry Week and programs for USI students, including mock
interviews and chemistry career awareness.
The local section has 250 members.

Sculpture exhibit opening in New Harmony
The New
Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art will present "Artist Ceramics" by Carol
Fleming October 4-November 8.
In conjunction with the opening, a free public reception for the artist will
be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, October 4, at the gallery,
506 Main St. in
New Harmony.
 |
|
"Ceramic Arches" by Carol Fleming |
The
exhibit will explore Fleming's desire to reach out and to connect. As a deaf
artist, her work is both a vehicle for communication and a message of hope to
individuals who feel out of control in these troubled times.
Reminiscent of ancient monuments, her sculptures are large but not
intimidating. Their surfaces are covered with markings, and the glazes are
applied as paint to canvas.
Fleming holds an M.F.A. from Ohio University-Athens and a B.A. from Earlham
College in Richmond, Ind. A
professional artist working in St. Louis, she has exhibited extensively in
solo and group shows across the United States and has
received numerous commissions for site-specific installations.
"Artist Ceramics" was made possible through the generous support of USI and
the Indiana Arts Commission.
Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from
noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 812/682-3156 or
