Join us at 7pm in Student Building 231 this Sunday for tea and discussion. If you’re unsure where the Student Building is, here’s a map!

The topic this week is Indiana Senate Bill 0089, which allows schools to teach creationism in class. What do you think of the “creationist bill”? If it passes, what effect do you think it will have on the future of education in Indiana? How should teachers react? How should we react?

You can find the exact amendment proposal here.

You can also read a summary of the bill from the executive director of CFI-Indy, Reba Boyd Wooden.

You can join the event on facebook.

Flying Spaghetti Monster with Adam

In case you haven’t heard, the SAIU is having a Flying Spaghetti Monster Feast on Friday, April 20th. We will have special Flying Spaghetti Monster shirts available for purchase and we want YOU to design one. The design winner will receive a free shirt!

Here are the details:

Deadline for Submissions: Friday, March 30th

Format:  Underground Printing says “vector artwork is ideal, so if you have access to Illustrator art, that’s the best.  However, a high resolution jpg or photoshop file with the fonts expanded to outlines  would work to.”  That being said, if you have a really cool idea but are no good at designing on computers do not fret! You may submit your drawing and someone will find a way to make a computer design out of it.

Suggestions: Keep in mind that these shirts will be sold to a lot of people, so if you’d like to win, your submission should be something enjoyable by most people. Also, if you think the design should go on a certain color fabric, let us know with your submission! After the deadline the officers will look through them and vote on our three favorites and let the people chose from those.

Send submissions and questions about the contest to secular@indiana.edu

Get pumped for our first movie night of the year! We will be watching The Man From Earth and I am so excited.

Rottentomatoes sez: “The story concerns a scientist who summons a group of associates to a cabin one freezing night, and strikes them with a fantastic revelation: he is not a traditional human, but a 14,000 year-old immortal, who has survived centuries of evolution from the Cro-Magnon Era to the present.”

We meet in Lindley Hall 102. Lindley Hall is south of the IMU and north of Swain Hall, on the west border of Dunn Woods.
