1)  Events at IUN:
1A)  The One Dollar Used Book Sale is Back Monday April 2 thru Friday April 6, 2007
ALL books are one dollar!
IUN Moraine Center 9:30 am to 7:30 pm (until 1 pm on Friday)
There will be about ten thousand recently donated books on almost every topic
imaginable: fiction (classic to pulp), social and natural sciences, humanities,
nursing, education, etc. We'll have many not too old textbooks (and some real old
ones) to help with classes, and books on various subjects that might help or inspire
that term paper you've been putting off starting on. Stock up on summer reading now!
We will even have a few anthropology books. And there is a quantity discount: buy
five books and the sixth one is free!
We will continue to put out more books all week long. So come early, browse often.
All books 50 cents on Friday.  We will even have more of those mini tote bags that we
sold out of last year; they cost $8 each.
Sponsored by the IUN student Anthropology Club and open to everyone; the majority of
funds raised will be used for the Anthropology Club scholarship, for academic
achievement awards, for stipends to send IUN students to summer field schools, for
student field trips, and to bring speakers to campus.  The club is giving out four
thousand dollars in scholarships, awards, and summer stipends at the April COAS
Honors Tea.
If you wish to donate books for the sale, please bring them to the sale itself, or if
you have a large quantity, stop by the sale or call us and we can pick them up from
your car or office. All year long there are two drop boxes for books, one in the
Moraine Lobby near the vending area, and one in Savannah near the bookstore. Contact
Bob Mucci @ 219-980-6607
1B)  Students, staff, and faculty are asked to help by working at the setup on Sunday
April 1 from noon to 5 pm; those who help that day receive two books for every hour
worked.  No books will be sold on Sunday, absolutely no book buyers, we have work to
do.  We also need help to strike the sale on Friday April 6 from 1 pm to 5 pm; since
books are 50 cents that day, you get four books for every hour you work.
Even more info on the sale is at:

2)  At Notre Dame:
2A)  talk on Lakota Culture
The Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Program lecture series will welcome Professor
Raymond J. DeMallie to campus to present the lecture:
Lakota Winter Counts and the Cultural Interpretation of Time
 Tuesday, April 3rd  7:30 p.m.
Hesburgh Center for International Studies Auditorium (C-100)
Free and open to the public
 A brief reception will follow the lecture.
The Lakota kept pictorial records that designated each passing winter with a mnemonic
representing a memorable event from the previous year. These served as calendars to
name the years and also formed the basis for a native history. One of the winter
count keepers created as well a history of the world from the beginning, represented
by a series of tipi circles that represented not years, but generations.
Anthropological study of winter counts began in the 1870s and has continued since.
This presentation will introduce winter counts as a genre, discuss the nature of the
events they commemorate, and offer some interpretation of what they reveal about
native Lakota concepts of time and history.
Sponsored by Indiana Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and the University of Notre
Dame Department of Anthropology
Professor DeMallie is director of Indiana University's American Indian Institute and
past president of the American Society for Ethnohistory.   He has edited Handbook of
