Get Involved II

More opportunities to get involved with learning the fun way--through the arts.  It would be great to see students taking advantage of the following opportunities:

1.  Thursday night (3/19), Lawrence Diggs will be hosting a reception for an "Inner Inmate" display of prison art and poetry.  You can drop in anytime between 6:30-9 PM.  The reception will be in the Aberdeen Recreation and Cultural Center (Old Central High School), 225 SE Third Ave., Aberdeen, SD 57401.

2.  Also Thursday, NSU Jazz bands will be performing at the Civic Theater (also located at Old Central).  Wonderful music starting at 7:30 p.m.

3.  Saturday (3/21) at 7:30, Marla Fogderud will hold a recital in Krikac auditorium.  The theme is "Tales of Life and Love." 

4.  Sunday (3/22)  at 3:00, Nicole Merriman and Tina Aschenman will hold their senior recital in Krikac auditorium.

5.  Wednesday (4/15) at 3:00, Nicole Merriman will present her honors thesis in Krikac Auditorium

6.  Sunday (4/19) at 3:00, the NSU choir will be presenting spiritual and gospel songs at First Presbyterian Church.

7.  If you attended Dr. Wachs' presentation or Bach's Lunch (on Wednesday 3/18), you can get extra credit for either one of those. 

To claim your 1-2 extra credit points, click on the "comment" link below and note which event you went to and describe that event.  Did it do anything to provide you with ethical guidance and/or emotional fulfillment?

  

Trojan Women (extra credit)

Please read Euripides' Trojan Women either at the link here or (probably better) in Moses Hadas' Greek Drama (available at the bookstore).

The Greeks regarded the words of their great playwrights as "theopneutos," i.e., God-breathed. Do you agree?  Cite a line or two from the play that might show why the Greeks regarded writers like Euripides as almost equivalent to prophets and explain why you find this line/these lines inspired or inspiring. Do you see here a line worth committing to memory?
