Nothing to Debate: ‘She’ Should Be Used to Refer to Manning
Gender identity in the news: Portrayals of Chelsea Manning
By: Kevin Gosztola – Thursday
August 22, 2013 9:45 pm
"The soldier who was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison for
releasing United States government information that was published by WikiLeaks,
Bradley Manning, came out as a woman this morning when [her] defense attorney
announced that Manning was a [woman] and wanted to be called Chelsea Manning...
...Since Manning came out publicly and made the request, one would expect the
United States press would universally be moving to covering any future news
stories on Manning with the appropriate and requested pronouns. However, “NBC’s
Today, USA TODAY, The Boston Globe, Politico, CNN, Fox, the New York Daily
News, the New York Post, the Daily Beast, the Los Angeles Times and The New
York Times” are going to keep using the masculine pronoun. The Washington Post
is also going to stick with the masculine pronoun as well."

Positions Available -- SGA Senate and Finance Board
Apply for Senator and/or Senate/Finance Board Secretary
UMBC's nationally recognized Student Government Association is looking for students interested in making a difference on campus and beyond.
If you're looking to get more involved on campus, the SGA Senate and Finance Board are looking to fill some vacancies. The Senate is looking to fill two empty Senate seats, while both the Senate and the Finance Board are searching for a secretary for the 2013-2014 Academic Year.
The Senate is SGA’s engine for collecting ideas from students and turning them into campus change initiatives. Members meet weekly (Mondays at 5:30 p.m.) to discuss and develop initiatives, talk with campus
administrators and take positions on issues. But most of the Senate’s work
takes place between the weekly meetings. Members spend time talking with
students, representing all undergraduates on university committees, meeting in
project working groups and doing the follow-up needed to get initiatives off the
ground.
The Finance Board is the branch of SGA that provides funds to support student organization activities: $200,000 this year. Most of the Finance Board’s work is done at weekly meetings, where student organization leaders present requests and Finance Board members ask questions and make decisions. These meetings, which take place Tuesdays starting at 5:30 p.m., can be both long and intense. Finance Board members have to wrestle with complex issues: applying university policies, striking a balance between supporting amazing events and stretching funds across the entire year, thinking about the precedent-setting impact of their decisions. But they have a lot of fun too, partly because it’s so
interactive and engaging.
The deadline to apply for these positions is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 9th.

MIT Delivers 1000 Tablets to Ethiopian Children
With no instructions. In 5 months, taught themselves English
MIT's One Laptop per Child Program (OLPC) decided to deliver boxes of tablets to two illiterate villages in Ethiopia, taped shut, with no instructions whatsoever.
(from dvice.com)
"We left the boxes in the village. Closed. Taped shut. No
instruction, no human being. I thought, the kids will play with the
boxes! Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, but found
the on/off switch. He'd never seen an on/off switch. He powered
it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child per day.
Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs [in English] in the
village. And within five months, they had hacked Android. Some idiot in
our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera! And they
figured out it had a camera, and they hacked Android." - OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte at MIT Technology Review's EmTech conference
Check out the rest of the story and let us know what you think! Are kids in developed areas of the world today getting less and less inquisitive?

Ticketing Staff Employees Needed
UMBC Events Ticketing Staff Employees Needed!
UMBC Event & Conferences Services is looking to hire
more Ticketing Staff Employees for the 2013-2014 academic year!
Ticketing Staff are responsible for selling tickets at the door for
student organization events that are planned through our office.
Responsibilities include welcoming all guests, performers, and organizers, selling and tracking ticket sales, wrist-banding attendees, reconciling all cash transactions at the conclusion of the sale period, and depositing funds into a designated safe.
Most events will occur Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday evenings, so weekend availability is required, however;
availability during the week is also preferable. This position will
offer 5-12 hours per week. Candidates must have and maintain a 2.5 GPA.
Preference will be given to students who email Jackie Aliotta (
jaliotta@umbc.edu), Events Coordinator, with their interest and resume by Friday, May 3rd 2013. Students will be interviewed on a rolling basis.
