As the fall starts, so too are the announcements of events on campus. Here's one that smacks of the uses people see as appropriate to a campus announcement list and the public:

SCSU will present a premiere showing of �Wellstone!� a film by Hardworking Pictures of Minneapolis on Monday, October 25 at 7:00 in the Atwood Ballroom. The film explores the origin of Paul and Sheila Wellstone�s politics, Paul�s controversial road to the Senate, and the legacy of a life of progressive populism. The film will be shown on the 2nd anniversary of Paul and Sheila�s death, and one of the film makers will make a special introduction of the film. All parking lots will be open for the public after 6:30. (Thanks to Public Safety for this generous accommodation.) This event is sponsored by NOVA, College Democrats, Democracy Matters, People United for
Peace, Women�s Equality Group, and Campus Advocates Against Sexual Assault.

Note it says "SCSU will present" when it is in fact a few of the leftist groups on campus. Nice of them to think they speak for all of us. I guess this is the follow-on to Carry It Forward by the same group. I have some ideas for theme music.

Thanks indeed to Public Safety for screwing up parking that night for students who might have paid to attend class here.
