I am in a wonderful mood today, not only because it is friday and it is officially the start of Thanksgiving break, but the fact that I have two articles in today’s iPulse! So pick up a copy in the bins either in the caf, ASSEF, the library or in front of EML or Ritter. I am including the links to the online iPulse so you can read online and leave comments.

My 1st iPulse article!
Some of you may know I am one of the Web Editors for iPulse. This has me get the articles and pictures ready to go onto the iPulse website so I don’t really get to write articles. I have Professor Powers for Introduction to Journalism as well as the iPulse. For intro to Journ. she had each of the students write a Feature story. I knew I would excel at this since I had spent the last two years as a Feature writer for my high school’s paper The Ridge. Anyway, I decided to do a feature on Knights in the Community.
I interviewed the president of KIC and turned out an article to turn in. I found out the following week that it was going into iPulse! I was surprised but excited to actually have an article in the paper. So please read my article and you can find out more about KIC and what the president has to say!
Happy Reading! I’d love to get your thoughts on the article. I am currently working on a new article for next week that Prof. Powers wants me to do (she is determined to get me to write…. lol).

Here is the link to my article you can also read it from Monday’s iPulse Mini.
3rd Annual Founder’s Day at Lynn!
As a freshman, I must say Founder’s Day surely took me for a surprise. All I knew was that it was today and there would be canoe races. I soon found out it was much more than that! On top of canoe racing, there was italian ice, kettle corn popcorn and a giant festival dinner! I along with others cheered on the teams racing on the lake (even the ones who flipped in the water…. ewww might I add?) Overall it looked like so much fun and maybe next year will give it a try…….
I have pictures but they won’t upload here but you can see them along with a few videos on my facebook! 
Now I am off to study for a test I have in the morning. Night!

KIC on Frieburger Lawn
KIC will be helping children today from 3 to 5 on the Frieburger lawn. There will be cookie decorating, musical masks, and more for the kids to enjoy while their parents are at work.
Why not come out and help or take a look and see what KIC is offering.
Hocus Pocus….. Hypnosis!
Tonight KAT put on a Hypnosis show in the International Building. I went along with a few friends. It was great! About 18-20 students were chosen or they volunteered to get hypnotized.
Several people I knew went on stage and were put to ’sleep’. We watched situations arise: an evil pitbull was staring down a student, they thought they were naked. One student was even told he was Beyonce Knowles and sung to Single Ladies with background dancers and everything!!
I must say the show is def. worth seeing! I hope the hypnotist comes back next year!!
I would rate the show 4 out of 5

A Success!
I woke up at 5:30 this morning, fell back asleep, and then woke up 4 minutes before having to meet up with my fellow KIC members in front of the Security Shack at 6. I quickly threw some clothes on, grabbed my water, and my snack and bolted out my door – thank goodness I am in Frieburger so I walked quickly down to my group.
You may be wondering, “Kerri, why in the world did you get up so early on a Saturday?!” Well my answer is simple: To help raise money for Making Strides for Breast Cancer.
Fight Breast Cancer
From about 6:15 until around 11 KIC helped get donations where people could donate as little as $1 for a pin or bracelet all the way up to $10 for a drawstring backpack. Of course people could donate however much they’d like but if they donated they received one of our items: a pin, bracelet, necklace, backup or hope bracelet.
I am proud to say the last time we counted the money before handing it over to Making Strides we had over $700! This is amazing to me because I have never done anything like this before. I was happy I did it and it was for a great cause! So in a little less then 5 hours we raised more money than I thought we were when we first set up.
Thanks to everyone who helped today, the people who walked, volunteered, and to the KIC members who woke up so early to go help!! You guys are awesome!!!

Seeking for new music?
On Wednesday KAT presented the campus with singer/songwriter Jenn Grinels. I decided to go see her sing because well, I had an assignment for a class and needed an article idea. So I dragged my roommate along to the Lakeside Patio. As I set up my laptop a few friends joined us. The patio had about 15 to 20 students piled under the canopy.
Jenn Grinels
After waiting a while Jenn Grinels began to warm up both her voice and guitar before heading back to her hotel (she later told us) to get her guitar tuner since “My guitar can’t handle the humidity here,” Grinels told us when she came back to the patio and began to strum her guitar.
By the end of the show, students (including myself and my roommate) were clapping and cheering as she sung her last song with such enthusiasm that I heard some say “Damn she can SING!”
I only went to do an assignment but at the end of the night, I was going home with a new CD signed personally to me and a new respect to those just starting out as a singer/songwriter. So if you’re looking for a new artist to listen to check out Jenn Grinels Cd Little Words. I personally love her song No Better and the music video is great too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uwm_tFKd…
