Dear Members,

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and quality time with family and friends.

With Christmas quickly approaching, we will all be busy with holiday shopping and greeting

cards to write and post, but don’t forget to make your reservation for the Madrigal Dinner

before noon this Wednesday December 3rd! Please also note that if you made a reservation,

payment is also due by December 3rd. This year’s Madrigal will be one of the best ever with

wonderful food, friendships, and especially the amazing entertainment! Last month we enjoyed Ed Hirt's talk on "Fanship", Jean Dayton's timely talk on "Books to

Give and Get", as well as Karin James talk on "Handwriting and Learning in Children". We

appreciate the generous time our IU Faculty and local experts spend to enlighten us with such

interesting topics! Thank you also, to Professor David McCarty for his interesting talk on

"The Hollywood Sound".

A very special thank-you goes out to all of you who have already contributed to the

University Club Scholarship Fund. Last March we were able to award $1,500 scholarships to

three very worthy student IMU employees who were recognized at the UClub Annual

Meeting & Luncheon. With your continued donations we will be able to award three or more

scholarships again 2015. Check the website at: Indiana.edu/~uclub for more information and

to make a donation.

A very special thank-you to Lu Cregar, who will be retir ing as our Webmaster at the

end of this year. It was Lu who first said, “we need a website!” and pulled us into the cyber

age while we watched with awe and admiration. Lu devoted many years to creating and

maintaining our first website, which has become a valuable communication and marketing

tool for the club. We wish Lu all the best in her future endeavors — Thank you Lu!

We would also like to thank the Interest Group chairs and coordinators for their volunteer

work in organizing the many and varied

group activities. Interest Groups are an

integral part of the University Club and we

sincerely appreciate all your efforts.

Thanks also to the many members who

participate!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas

and Happy New Year!

Your Co-Presidents,

Our host, and Master of Ceremonies extraordinaire, Tim Long, had us singing along with classics such as Ach, Du lieber Augustin, which was a mouthful for those of us that don’t speak German but superfun!

Well! I have no idea what that means, but it was fun to sing! I can tell you this; the schnitzel at this year’s Oktoberfest was incredible as was the entire meal prepared by Chef Tom Berinati. Yum!

We were treated to Tim’s German humor (?), sang along with live Oompah tunes mixed with traditional and crooner pieces, and thor-oughly enjoyed the music which was expertly played by the OktoberFesters Brass Trio. The crowd was dancing and singing and we all had a “wunerful, wunerful”, time!

Thank you Tim Long for organizing and sponsoring a great Oktoberfest celebration!

The trail passes through a variety of habitats including semi-open fields, scrub, and dense forest. Most is in reclaimed farmland. We may have a Sycamore Land Trust representative with us to describe the area and point out special features. The area has relatively little vertical relief, so the hike will be short and easy.

Estimated hiking time: 1 - 2 hours Difficulty: Easy

December 2 - Defense Technology - By Peter Singer

From robotic planes to cyber weapons to 3D printing and human enhancement, new "game-changing"

technologies are moving from science fiction to battlefield reality - all during an age of fiscal austerity.

But in wrestling with the new, we can actually learn a great deal from the past. Our forebears went

through similar challenges with such once fanciful but now normal concepts as airplanes, submarines,

and tanks. What are the "killer applications" of the 21st century battlefield, and in turn, what are the is-

sues that the U.S. must navigate in adapting to them?

Christmas Outing

Monday, December 15, Departs 8:00 AM to St. Meinrad

The Benedictine tradition came to the Midwest in the 1850s, when the Swiss Abbey of Einsiedeln sent two

monks to Indiana to start a new foundation. Today, the Benedictine community at Saint Meinrad consists of

about 100 men who dedicate their lives to prayer and work. They gather in community five times a day to

pray for the Catholic Church and the world. Guests are welcome to join the monks in prayer in the Arch ab-

bey Church. We will visit the library, where crèches donated by Meadowood Resident Catherine Smith are

on display, then tour the campus, attend noon prayer, eat lunch, and visit the gift shop. In the afternoon we

will visit The Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand, Indiana. The Sisters of St. Benedict came to Ferdinand,

Indiana, in 1867 to fill a need and make a difference in the lives of local settlers. Through the years, the sis-

ters have adapted to the needs of a changing world and continue to faithfully live the 1,500-year-old tradition

of Benedictine life. Price of $25 includes lunch and snacks on the bus.
