    Yahoo! Groups : DNBAM Calendar

    So I just found out that “club” settings are customized depending on which category you put your “club” in. Defend Need Blind Admissions is under Colleges and Universities -> Minnesota. For College groups, Yahoo! provides the following options:

    Anniversary
    Appointment
    Bill Payment
    Birthday
    Breakfast
    Call
    Chat
    Class
    Club Event
    Concert
    Dinner
    Graduation
    Happy hour
    Holiday
    Interview
    Lunch
    Meeting
    Movie
    Net event
    Other
    Party
    Performance
    Reunion
    Sports Event
    Travel
    TV Show
    Vacation
    Wedding

    Hopefully, these categories have been based on what most college groups in the U.S. announce frequently via their mailing lists and such. It’s such a sad picture. I don’t think I have ever used any category except “meeting” and “performance”. What the fuck does a “public debate” fit into? Should “public debate” be a “meeting”?

    Bah.

    Look at those healthy blond white alumns, all very happy to serve in executive positions of the Alumni Board.

    Then the minority-looking last names are put in the “Multicultural Committee” and “Careers Task Force”

    I am CC’ing this message to Tamara since I heard she maintains the websiteitself.

    Also, I would like to use this opportunity to remind you that I had asked ifLB members could have an office time at the MCSG office.

    Paper Outline: Health insurance policy and the immigrant U.S. latino working class

    During my summer volunteer work at Centro de Derechos Laborales [Workers’ Rights Center], a community program at Minneapolis focused in self-education, organization and mobilization for immigrant latinos’ rights as workers in the United States, I gained a quick glimpse on the state of the health insurance and worker’s compensation among immigrant workers in Minnesota.

  • Field notes 09/27

    Store had a plastic door (I think they changed it this week?) on the entrance. entered the design area and waited for Sarah to finish, which took about 30 extra minutes. it seemed like she was did not have control over time and work schedule, unless she was doing the work because it needed to get done before leaving the design area. there was a manager-looking person who seemed slightly disturbed that a stranger was there staring at things.

    standing from Sarah’s bench – there is a washing tub to the left, with old sponge and jabon. I think the sponge doesn’t get used very often, it’s dry. informant used the tub while I was there, though. there are vases on exhibition at shelves to the right of the tub. then there is a door to a small room. to the right of the door is the exit to the clerk, or sales area. there is another bench to the right of the exit. on top of the bench, there is a long flat shelf that has many vases of different shapes and sizes. I thin kthey had size number stickers on them. the shelf extends over the corner to portion of the right wall.

    in Sarah’s bench, there are several arrangements with tags hanging on one of their flower tallos. tags have a person’s name, and a code. the code is one letter and one number, I think. these arrangements are all on top of the bench, separated from the “inner” ones which are behind a small thin wall to sarah’s side. to sarah’s side is a phone and a computer (that’s why I thought she was a manager). she occassionally takes phone calls. most of the time she is running to different places, on a short term basis (like going to the next room) to the left, to the left of the tub is a doorless exit to a cubed office space.
