Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education “statistics” have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of Waiting for Superman. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying “drop-out factories” and “academic sinkholes,” methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.

Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks . . . forget the snow, who cares about finals, its baseball season and everyone loves a good hotdog and a great game. In that tradition, we will be hosting a baseball themed late night dinner the night before finals, Thursday, March 10 from 10 PM to midnight. Best of all, it is free to all students! Join us as we pretend winter and the Cubs will win the World Series (neither is likely to happen anytime soon).

Lawrence’s annual Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 8th, 8 PM – 11 PM in the Warch Campus Center. Great live music, a casino with tons of prizes and of course amazing cajun food. Come and enjoy!
