This Spring, the ASUC is once again putting on its bi-annual Bookswap. This grass-roots program is designed to give you, the students, the opportunity to reuse your textbooks and buy and sell old textbooks at a price determined by you, outside the confines and limits of the general bookstores. During the 1st week of school of the Spring semester, you will be able to bring your books into MLK's Pauley Ballroom and sell them. So, hold onto your textbooks and reading books until the beginning of next semester!!!

Here is a course some of you might be interested in taking in the Spring...
ISF 100D: Technology and Society
"This is an interdisciplinary course that welcomes students of all disciplinary backgrounds. In it, we will focus on three major technological paradigms that have emerged over the past 150 years in the global north: the industrial revolution, the transportation and communication revolution, and the information- technological revolution. In part I of the course we will examine the interrelations between industrialization, urbanization, and the emergence of the culture industry. In part II we will focus on the impact of automobility, telephony, aviation, and communications technologies (TV, media, satellites) on the structure of social organization in the global north (Europe and North America). In part III we will examine the evolution and structure of the internet and its impact on cultures and societies in a variety of global regions."
The Gene Kan Memorial Fund will provide a $1,000 award and recognition to an undergraduate student in the College of Engineering who has developed an interesting and practical use of technology. The technology (which does not need to be limited to software) should be easy to use and readily available to a reasonably non-technical audience.
The purpose of the award is to acknowledge people who are capable of creating simple, useable technology to replace complex, overly academic approaches. An example of a suitable student software project was the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). Linux users loved the program, and programmers created their own software using the user-interface library that the GIMP authors wrote for the program.
Applications are located at: http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Fellowships/Forms/GeneKanApplication.pdf. Please turn all applications to Shareena Samson, in 205 Cory Hall by December 17, 2007.
