Student Action Network: displayed boots to represent fallen Alabama soldiers.

The demonstration and display of shoes seen on Cater Lawn today was organized by both the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization that “believes that every human life is precious and therefore we oppose all war,” according to the flier they handed out to students, and the Auburn Student Action Network.  

The SAN was formed in Oct 2007, and  was granted provisional status after a dispute with the College Repulicans and a three-time hearing in the SGA Senate. The College Repulicans organized a counter demonstration this morning, but the SAN members were encouraged by the support and interest they had received from students throughout the day.

Blazer

Artist Judith Blazer performed a true “Tour de Force blend of Broadway, Opera, Prime TV and Soaps” Monday evening.

Blazer was hosted by the Auburn Departments of Music and Theater and the College of Liberal Arts.

According to an interview with Blazer (http://media.cla.auburn.edu/theatre/blazer.cfm), she came to Auburn from New York not only to share a sampling of her diverse musical styles and talents, but to also interact with Auburn students and instruct them “in vocal techniques and the sort of life-lessons that are crucial for every aspiring performer to learn.”

Blazer is a professional performer, actor and vocalist.

Blazer has been seen at the Metropolitan Opera, in numerous Broadway productions and has been on the voice faculty of New York University.

In addition to her extensive professional career, Blazer is committed to arts education through mentoring and equipping young artists.

According to the Pepsi Web site, Diet Pepsi Max was introduced in June 2007 as a better tasting alternative to Diet Pepsi.
