I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for next year. When you entered as first year students this year, the school assigned you to a dorm and a roommate, but next year, as returning students, you’ll choose both your roommate and your dorm. But whether or not you actually get to live with your first choice depends on what number you or your roommate draws in the lottery system. The system gives priority to the students who have been here longest. Fourth year students get the first block of numbers , third years get the second block , and second years, like you’ll be,  get the third. The lower the number you draw, the sooner you choose. No.1 gets the first choice, No.2 gets the second choice and so on. You can use either your own or your intended roommate’s number to make your room choice. If your roommate for next year has been in/at the school longer than you have, they’ll be in a better block of numbers, and so will have a better number than any second year students. But most of you willprobablybe rooming with other second year students, and so neither of you may have a great number. You may not get into you first or even second choice. Of course, if you’ve made plans to live off campus, you don’t need to enter the lottery at all. Dorm space will be especially tight this year, because the dorms on north campus will be closed for reservations/renovations. This means that those of you who draw the worst numbers won’t be able to get dorm housing at all. In that case, the housing office will help you find off-campus housing.

Before I tell you about the interesting discoveries/discovery related to Tyrannosaurus rex , I need to review something we study/studied last semester, the difference between what we/arecommonly called cold blooded and warm blooded animals. In warm blooded animals, birds and mammals, for example, the body temperature normally stays within a narrow range, no matter what the outside temperature is. As a result, a warm blooded animal is usually active in both cold and hot weather because its body temperature can adjust to the temperature outside/ofits environment. On the other hand, cold blooded animals, such as most reptiles and febians/amphibians and insects, are unable to create enough heat internally to raise their temperature above the temperature of the environment. So, for example, the temperature of a cold blooded animal falls when the environment is cool. I hope this distinction is clear, now moving on to Tyrannosaurus rex. You may know that dinosaurs being reptiles are generally believed to have been cold blooded. Well, a recent research study found that chemical composition of the bones of Tyrannosaurus rex was consistent with the bones of the/an animal that has a very narrow range of the interior/internal temperature, indicating that it was probably warm blooded.

Thank you all for coming up/out this evening to meet sociologist Ellen Lambert. Ms Lambert specializes in research on the work place and recently has been writing about the future of work. This topic should be of special interest since I know many of you are already at the full front/forefront of workplace technology. For example, let’s have a show of hands to see how many people here telecommunicate this/at least part of the time. Hmm,I see 8 hands raised. Well, you 8 folks who work at home and communicate with office by a/viacomputer, represent one of the trends Ms Lambert has describes/described. The/that people are becoming less tied to the work place. One of the important tools for telecommuting is electronic mail, or email. Email lets you send and receive messages almost immediately on your computer, but you control when you read them and when you respond to them. This technology allows people to have more control over time, then/thanwent/when rely solely on the telephone. Our guest tonight would discuss how these important changes will order/alter the way we work. But, before turning the flow/floor over Ms Lambert, I would just like to remind you that she will be available to answer any individual questions at the reception immediately following this topic/talk.

I’m sure almost every one of you looked at your watch your/or at a clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks seem as much apart of our life as breathing or eating. And yet, did you know that watches and clocks are/were scarce in the United States until the 1850’s. In the late 1700s, people didn’t know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful clocks in the squares of European towns were built for the public. After all, most citizens simply couldn’t afford a personal time piece. Well into the 1800s, since the open of /in European and the United States, the main purpose of a watch, which by the way was offered/often on a gold chain, was to show others how wealthy you were. The word, wristwatch, didn’t even enter the English language until nearly 1900s. By then, the rapid pace of industrialization in the United States means that measuring time has/hadbecome essential. How could the factory workerget to work on time unless he or she knew exactly what time it was? Since efficiency is/was now measured by how fast the/a work/job was done, everyone was interested in time and since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods, watches became fairly inexpensive. Furthermore, electric lines/lightskept factories going around the clock. Being on time had entered the language and life of every citizen.

This room is devoted to electric fish. The eelof/in thetank behind me can produce a strong jolt of electricity to stun its prey. But most of the fish inhere produce only weak electricity/electrical impulses that are useful for navigating, locating food, and even for communicating. The night/knife fish is a good example. This fish navigates using tiny receptors in the skin that are sensitive to electronic impulses. The night/knife fish produces an electronic signal and the receptors in its skin let it know when the signal is/itstored/distorted by a trail road/tree root or some other obstacle, so you/itcan go around it. Fish also use the ability to produce and attack/detect electrical impulses to communicate. They can tell each other what species they belong to, how big they are, and whether they are male or female. We have a tank here that’s specially equipped to convert the inaudible signals that fish produce and to/into sounds you can hear when you put on the/these headphones. I urge you all to listen in when I’ m done speaking. Now have a look at the electric rays. Rays are especially interesting to medical researches because of the organs they use to produce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carry /carries signals from one nerve ending to the next, not only in rays, but also in people. By studying these organs, scientists hope to learn more about diseases that interrupt the transmission of impulses from one nerve to another.

So, why did what is now called modern dance begin in the United States? To begin to answer this question, I’ll need to backtrack a little bit and talk about classical ballet. By the late 1800s, ballet has lost a lot of its popularity. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought over form Europe. They performed using the rich/rigid techniques that have/had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States all/were eager for their own contemporary dance form. And so around 1900, dancers created one. So how was this modern dance so different from classical ballet? Of/Well, most notably, it wasn’t carefully choreographed. Instead, the dance depended on the inproposition/improvisation and free personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery were of little important to the modern dance. And lightness ofmovement wasn’t important either. In fact, modern dancers made no attempt at all to conceal the effort involved in the/adance step. But even if inproposition/improvisationappealed to audiences, many dance critics were less than enthusiastic about the performances. They questioned the artistic integrity of dancers who were professionally trained, and the artistic values of works that have/had no formal    structure. Loie Fuller, after performing fire dance, was described as doing little more than turning round and round like an egg beater. Yet the free personal expression of pioneer dancers is the basisof the controlled freedom of modern dance today.

Today I want to discuss fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. The term “fossil fuel” refers to the trapping/trapped name/remains of plants and animals in sedimentary rock. You see, living plants trap energy from the sun by the process of photosynthesis.And they store the energy in chemical compounds. Most of their/thatenergy is released when the plant dies and decays. However, sometimes organic matter is buried before it decays completely. In this way, some of the solar energy becomes trapped in rocks, and get/hence the name, fossil fuels. Although the amount of organic matter trapped in any one growing season is small, the accumulating/accumulatedremains of/from millions of years are considerable. Because the accumulation rate is so slow, millions of times slower than the rate which we today/now dig up this organic matter and burn it for energy. We must consider fossil fuels as nonrenewable resources. Tomorrow we’ll discussingalternative for fossil fuels that can be renewed.

We’ve been together now in this pottery class for several weeks and I feel you are all doing very well. I thought you might be interested in hearing about a ceramics workshop that will be held here in/atthe college next month. Kate Bergerson/Ferguson, who was recently named by ceramic monthly as one of the dazzling/dozenbestpotters in the world, will be at the recreation center for an intensive 7 day workshop. Participants in the workshop will, Kate has show it to/assure me, make a lot of pots and be able to work closely with her on refining their techniques and skills. There is only room for 18 potters and advanced pottery students in the workshop so everyone look at/will get personal attention. It will cost/costs 175 dollars which included all your materials and a picnic, which is usually attended by all of the participants at the end of the workshop. A 50 deposit is required ahead of time, with the rest of the tuition due by May 15th. I should mention that this workshop is corresponding/cosponsored by the Van Howe chemical company, which is donating the clay. If you want to register for this/the workshop, you should call the recreation center, at 5553080. You should really consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
