Support your local College of Arts and Media student and faculty by seeing the production of The Shape of Things, showing at the Eugenia Rawls Courtyard Theater, 7:30 p.m., Nov. 2-4, 9-11 and 16-18. The play is directed by Mollie Mook, UCDHSC faculty member; film sequences, artwork, and sound design are done by students. The story revolves around an English Literature major, Evan, who meets a beautiful visual arts graduate student, Evelyn, and their developing friendship throughout the semester. It all seems so perfect, all taking place in a beautiful college setting. But we all know that things are not always what they seem. The play raises some hard questions that only the complications of college life can raise. Where do we draw our line in the sand? When and why do we allow ourselves to move the line? For more information about this production, please email CAMEvents@cudenver.edu or visit http://thunder1.cudenver.edu/cam/events for more information.
More CAM events coming up include a performance by guitarist Drew Morel and pianist Jeff Jenkins on Thursday Nov. 2. The two will be performing Brazilian and classical jazz in the King Center Recital Hall starting at 7:30 p.m. The performance will also feature an appearance by vocalist Teresa Carroll. Drew Morel is a member of the UCDHSC faculty and has been a professional jazz musician and educator here in Denver for more than 20 years. Jeff Jenkins has been involved in the Denver jazz scene since moving here from New York in the early 90s. And Teresa Carroll is frequently referred to as "the best jazz singer on the Denver line."
The New Voter's Project, part of CoPIRG, managed to register 1,490 students to vote in the Denver area. These students not only were able to register on campus, but depending on the district they registered to vote in, can also vote on campus. Thanks to our own UCD student government, they were able to secure the Auraria campus as a voting location in this year's upcoming election. (Check out Eye on Auraria, Sept. 27, for more information about Auraria's polling station, www.ucdadvocate.com.) The push for new voters came before the Oct. 10 deadline for registration, and statewide, the New Voter's Project was able to register 5,900 people. With help from a bullhorn and their prime location in the middle of campus, New Voter's Project aimed to get students interested in this coming election. According to the press release, "Students are really engaged in this election," said Jacob Bouchard, a student volunteer with the New Voter's Project at the Auraria Campus. "From higher education funding, to the economy, to the war in Iraq, we understand that this election matters - and that our votes matter."
Nation-wide, the group plans on registering 70,000 voters before the end of the registration period. This particular election is important for Colorado voters as they will be electing the next governor, and the races for the House District 7, is one of the key matches in the country, according to some political pundits. So if you're registered, make sure you get out there on Nov. 7 and cast your vote.
