Oral literature of the 19th Century, Edgar Allan Poe is topic of Sept. 27 English colloquium
English Department Professor Tom Pribek begins English Department's 2013-14 William J. and Yvonne Hyde Colloquium Series with"The 'Tell-Tale' Narrator: Oral Literature of the 19th Century and an Appreciation of Edgar Allan Poe." The presentation runs from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, in 113 Wimberly Hall. Recitation, reading out loud to an audience, is no cliché of 19th-century period movies, Pribek says. It was so popular that a separate genre of book was published. The books' emphasis on dramatic reading suggests that whether reading at home or for a public audience, people performed. Knowing this, Pribek says, we can better comprehend some of Edgar Allan Poe's innovations with short fiction. Poe's use of first-person narrators gives him a literal voice, in the same room as his listener: a turn of the screw no movie or private reading can accomplish, Pribek notes. Pribek will read "The Tell-Tale Heart," with, he hopes, a few new turns of the screw and insights. The event is free and open to the public.

UW-L is in full compliance with U.S. EPA and Wisconsin DNR storm water requirements, thanks to the efforts of UW-L's Facilities Planning and Management staff. The staff has improved the quality of UW-L’s storm water runoff by installing catch and bioinfiltration basins and other storm water management technologies. Storm water is rain or snow melt which runs off the land or hard surfaces such as roads, roofs and parking lots into a river, marsh or other waterway. Storm water can carry with it fertilizer, oil, pesticides, detergents, pet waste, grass clippings and other pollutants. Once in the storm water, these pollutants can harm the natural environment. UW-L staff will continue taking actions that improve storm water quality, but in the end, water quality on campus and in the region can only be protected and improved with your help, says Manager Daniel Sweetman. Read and employ techniques described in UW-L "Doing Your Part" guidelines and make an active commitment to environmental sustainability, he suggests. As part of FP&M’s commitment to sustainability, documents related to UW-L’s Storm Water Management commitment are available at www.uwlax.edu/ehs/storm_water.htm. For more information on UW-L's storm water pollution prevention program or to report issues that could negatively impact storm water quality, contact Sweetman at 608.785.6800.La Crosse water quality reports available online
The City of La Crosse is required to annually provide city residents, including students living on and off campus, with a detailed water quality report. The most recent report, for calendar year 2012, provides a general description of the water system, services and other activities impacting water quality. To see the report click here. For questions about the report or concerns regarding the La Crosse water system, contact Mark Johnson, Utilities Manager, 400 La Crosse St., La Crosse, WI 54601 or call 608.789.7536.

Start the day right … eat breakfast
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Your body needs energy to perform well throughout the day. Breakfast gives your body energy and boosts your metabolism. A healthy breakfast is linked to health benefits such as weight control and improved performance. Do not skip breakfast to lose weight! Studies have shown that breakfast eaters tend to weigh less than breakfast skippers. Not all breakfasts are created equally though. It is important to eat a healthy well-balanced breakfast consisting of protein and/or whole grains instead of one loaded with fat and calories (for example, donuts, bagels with cream cheese, Danishes, muffins, etc.). Try these quick breakfast ideas:- Yogurt with fruit and whole grain cereal
- Whole grain cereal with low-fat milk and a banana
- Whole grain bread with peanut butter and a glass of orange juice
