IUN ANTHROPOLOGY CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Caution: dates
in
the calendar are closer than they appear!
SPRING
2011:
The One Dollar Used Book Sale
is Back
for one last time.
We anticipate
this will be the last ever booksale because the
building we
store the books in is about to be torn down.
Monday March
21 thru Friday March 25, 2011
IUN Moraine
Center
9:30 am to
7:30 pm (until 1 pm on Friday)
open at 9 am
exactly on Monday
Note: there
is a parking crisis on campus; to avoid being ticketed,
please get a
visitor pass from the IUN Police,
or park at
the Village on Grant and ride the free parking shuttle.
There will be about ten thousand donated books on almost every topic
imaginable: fiction (classic to pulp), history, 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 quite a few anthropology
books. We have many recently donated books of all types.
And ALL books are one dollar! And there are quantity
discounts! We will continue to put out more books all week
long. So come early, browse often. All books 50 cents on
Friday.
Sponsored by the IUN student Anthropology Club and open to everyone;
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. 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 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

Dr Thomas Magnetti presents an
illustrated program on the archaeological excavation of Bon Non Wat,
Thailand. The village of Bon Non Wat is a unique archaeological
site since it has been continuously occupied for over 6000 years.
As a result, you can find the end of the stone age period, the complete
bronze age, and the beginning of the iron age. In 17 months of
excavation, over 20,000 artifacts and 756 skeletons have been
exhumed. Dr. Magnetti will talk about Southeast Asia settlement,
the archaeological dig, the artifacts, and the culture of Thailand.
The
big one dollar used book sale will be held the week of November 8 - 12,
2010
