~"EAT THE CHICKEN" PLAY THIS WEEKEND!

Hello from the School of Drama!

From the director of last year's THE WHO'S TOMMY (and winner of the 2006 
Distinguished Teaching Award), Shanga Parker, comes an original comedy 
written by a playwright (Anna Rosa Parker) whose work has been seen in 
Seattle, Reykjavik, Iceland, and in New York Off-Broadway.  The play, EAT 
THE CHICKEN, is the beginning of a much larger project called, The Museum 
Project (Please see the attached brochure/program). It will be on 
September 15 & 16 (THIS WEEKEND!!).  It will involve schools and colleges 
and museums across the city of Seattle and Bellevue. This is the first 
opportunity you have to see the play.  The cast is made up of a 
combination of local actors and current and former UW undergraduate and 
graduate students. It is on a pay-what-you-can basis.

~AUTUMN COURSE: ESS 105-THE EARTH: ITS PROCESSES & HAZARDS (NW)

We still have plenty of space available in ESS 105 The Earth: Its 
Processes and Hazards. This 5-credit course has no prerequisites and is a 
great introductory course for non-science majors who need NW credit. 
People who have taken it really enjoy the class and consider it well 
worthwhile (and it is an NW!)

ESS 105 is an entry-level course in introductory geology that emphasizes 
the human and environment impact of geological processes. The course 
focuses on explaining how things work geologically, tending to be much 
more process-oriented than terminology-driven. The subject matter is 
particularly relevant here in the Pacific Northwest because it introduces 
in-depth the geology of volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics and 
mountain-building, and the surficial processes of landsliding, flooding, 
glaciation and global climate change. The course lab sessions focus more 
on group consideration of important local issues, such as earthquake 
hazards in Seattle, the condition of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the 
potential danger of living in the shadow of Mount Rainier, and city 
planning in landslide-prone Seattle. Students work together on research 
projects (and produce a professional-quality poster) as the capstone of 
the lab program. The course includes weekly fieldtrips, evening study 
sessions, informal post-lecture discussion sessions with the professor, 
and a class-wide community-service project with an environment focus.

~AUTUMN COURSE: PSE 102 PAPER, SOCIETY, & THE ENVIRONMENT (NW/I&S)

Do you have still need any NW / I&S requirements and you would like the 
class to relate to resources they use every day?  This recently updated 
class is designed for non-science students who want to understand the 
world around them.  And, the mid-day schedule is great for students with 
busy later afternoon schedules.  Don't miss it!

PSE 102 Paper, Society and the Environment
Prof. Rick Gustafson (pulp at u.washington.edu)

Read this:  Did you know that in one year, 2 billion books, 359 million 
magazines, and 24 billion newspapers are published in the United States?

We use a lot of paper, over 700lbs/person/year in the United States alone, 
whereas countries with large populations use about 1/10 of that amount. 
What will happen when countries like India and China start using paper at 
the same rate we do?  Will we run out wood? Drown in garbage? Or will 
there be no significant impact?  This course will address present and 
projected needs for paper products in modern and in developing societies, 
possible alternatives to paper and the broad decisions required to 
minimize costs to society measured in terms of raw materials, capital, 
energy and environmental pressures. Learn about issues that range from 
government operations to your next trip to the store!
