Quotables

Violence and the Media

Man, every end-of-semester I see people bringing in stacks of books and I can guess what their research paper was on. And EVERY semester I see at least 3 different people bring in books on how media influences people to be violent. Man! Can't they do anything original?

This last week or so I've seen a number of "Research Stacks" as I like to call them. One on women in sports, one on Picasso's Guerna, two other ones on. . .you guessed it, violence and the media.

What are some of the research topics you've encountered?

Inspirational Christmas Story

Once there was a store that sold lots of jingle bells---and only jingle bells. As the customers came in, and picked the jingle bells up, the bells would jingle their best, hoping that they would be taken to a nice warm loving home. The littlest jingle bell had many problems. Customers would pick it up, and it would ring for them with all it's might. "Jingle Jingle," it would say. Then the customers would set it back down, and say, "this little jingle bell won't do," and they would walk on, and pick up other jingle bells. As the season went on, there became fewer and fewer bells. At last, Christmas Eve finally came. All of the bells had been taken except the littlest jingle bell on the shelf towards the back. As the store keeper was about to close down for christmas, a man with black snow covered boots walked in, and said to the store keeper, "I have been in my sleigh. One of the jingle bells has broken off, and I need a replacement before I can leave, so the reindeer can know where I tell them to go. The little jingle bell raised its head high as it looked toward the man. It was Santa Claus! The bell became very excited. The store keeper said, "Well, I have one last jingle bell, and I can show it to you if you want, but I don't think that it'll be big enough for your sleigh." The store keeper led Santa to the back of the store, picked up the little bell, and gave it to him. He held it up in his hand, and gave it a little jingle, and the bell jingled with all it's might. Then Santa said, "you're right. It is too small."

Special Collections Cameras

Please keep the three cameras on the DX8000 viewer at all times in control and on the desks. Those three are on DVR #2 Special K:

Book of Mormon Exibit
Joseph Smith Exibit
Exibit Front Drs

Please have them up at all times. I have found that having the 9 camera setting works well. That way you can have the dock doors, atrium, and what ever else you would like. Just make sure those thre are up. Thanks.

A Roving Challenge.

While you are out on rove today (as I'm sure you all will do, like good little officers), see if you can find a suit of red long johns hanging in a place of prominence. (What will these craft-nuts think of next?!)

First one to find it (and comment) wins...um...bragging rights.

Good luck, gumshoes!
