Konnichiwa! Japanese House Members, If you have a particular event from the Lane Series you would like to attend for FREE, please let Corson-sensei know by this Wednesday noon by sending an e-mail to [log in to unmask] Here is the detail from Professor Dennis Mahoney. Please contact him <[log in to unmask]> for questions. In brief, the Global Village has worked out an arrangement with the Lane Series to pre-buy 10 tickets for all the available fall semester offerings (the one exception being the Frederic Chiu recital on Friday, October 6th, for which tickets are not available, unfortunately). We, in turn, propose that each house will have the option of selecting the one event for which 10 tickets will be available free of charge to house members. Here is the web site with descriptions of the events and the artists: http://www.uvm.edu/laneseries/. One event, the Musicians from Marlboro concert, is on the Friday evening of the Thanksgiving recess, November 17th; here John and I thought that these 10 tickets could be made available to International Students who might not be going anywhere over Thanksgiving. Other than that, we would welcome your collegial help (with input from the students in your House, of course), as to which event, if any, you would like to select. In the event that more than one House chooses the same event as "1st choice," could you please consider 2nd and 3rd choices as well? Hopefully, with a bit of flexability and good will we can divide these events among the 9 houses in such a way as to please most of you, if not everyone.
