2009-10 IU Ethics Bowl Team
The Poynter Center Announces Openings for the 2009-10 IU Ethics Bowl Team.
Each year the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions at IU sponsors one team consisting of five undergraduate students to travel and compete in the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl. The competition begins with ten regional matches in the fall that feed the national competition, held in the early spring. The Central States regional, in which the IU team competes, will be on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at Marian College in Indianapolis.
The Ethics Bowl competition is presented annually by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics as a method of involving students in deliberating about and seeking to resolve difficult cases and situations. The national competition, which draws together the top 32 teams from the regional rounds, will be held on March 4, 2010 in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics in Cincinnati, Ohio. IU won the national competition last year and in 2004.
At the national competition, the 32 participating teams compete in three rounds in the morning. The teams are given thirteen complex ethical and policy cases to study in advance of the competition, though they are not told what questions they will be asked about any case. For each match, one team is required to present a view on a case and then respond to questions from the opposing team and judges. Then the roles are reversed, and the opposing team presents an argument surrounding a different case, after which they respond to questions. Teams are evaluated at the end of each match for the quality of their arguments, responses, and counter-responses. The top eight teams advance to the quarterfinals, which are held in the evening.
Interested students should send their name, year, major (or possible major), along with a
statement of interest by e-mail, to:
Prof. Richard Miller (miller3@indiana.edu)
Director, Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions
IUB
Please reference Ethics Bowl in the subject line.
Applications will be reviewed starting on September 21, 2009. Students should include information about their coursework and background in ethics, along with any questions about the Ethics Bowl team that they may have. Team members meet twice a week from around late September until the November regional event. If they are successful in being selected to participate in the national competition, they will again meet twice a week from the time second semester starts until the March 4 event.
See the web site, http://poynter.indiana.edu/ethicsbowl.shtml for more information about the event and about previous teams.

WonderLab's "Science Night Out"
WonderLab's annual gala, Science Night Out, is coming up on Friday, September 11 at the Bloomington Convention Center. This event raises essential operating funds for the museum, funds that are even more critical in this year as grant resources have become more scarce.
WonderLab Museum of Science, Health and Technology is a critical outreach partner to many IU-based NSF grants. It provides crucial resources for K-12 education and teacher training, and is a tremendous asset for our own families, our area schools and for Indiana University students seeking service learning opportunities.
I would therefore like to strongly encourage you to join me in purchasing a ticket for WonderLab's Science Night Out annual gala. WonderLab is a private non-profit educational organization, and tickets are tax-deductible in large part. The deadline to purchase tickets (September 4 ) is right around the corner. Guests must be 21 years old or older. For information about the evening and the ticket-order form follow this link: http://wonderlab.org/membersndonors/fundraising.shtml
Here is what to expect in a nutshell: Science Night Out will be hosted by Coach Tom and Joani Crean and will have a theme of "WonderLab Untamed." The evening will kick off with a cocktail hour featuring live animals from across the globe, delicious hors d'oeuvres, cash bar, and one of Bloomington's largest silent auctions. A gourmet dinner and spectacular live auction will follow.
Please consider joining me at this important and truly enjoyable event for WonderLab!

The contest is open to all IUB undergraduate students.
The broad theme for the contest is, "The Many Meanings of Diversity: Challenges, Paradoxes, and Opportunities." We are looking for creative examinations of issues in ethnicity, race, gender, identity, disability, age, class, religion, and diversity in the American experience through three genres in creative writing: short fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction. This year's theme is meant not only to have the contestants think about the varied definitions of diversity, but also to examine how these apply or relate to Asian Americans.
The submissions will be evaluated on the creative quality of their expressions as they address this topic. Emphasis will be placed on the literary merit of the pieces in determining the winners.
Prizes for the first, second, and third place winners include: 1st Prize - IPOD Touch (16 GB) plus reading the essay on March 27, 2009; 2nd prize - IPOD Nano; 3rd prize - $100 Gift Card.

Each entry should have two title pages as follows: the first should include the title, author's name, permanent address, phone number, email address, and include: "Asian Pacific American Heritage Creative Writing Contest."
