Please think of others during these hard times, especially with the Holidays just around the corner.

The Holiday Season

Christmas is just around the corner, it is apparent from all of the joyous Christmas music to the lit up Christmas trees accessorized with bright lights and over the top ornaments. Here at the University store we decorate for the holiday season a little differently. Our trees proudly display our UWSP pride along with various Pointer apparel. We have everything from wrapping paper, Christmas cards, winter apparel, Christmas figurines, and varied selection of UWSP gifts. I’ve snapped a few photos of our floor associates hard at work decorating our Christmas trees and the end result...Full Christmas Mode!

Every semester around this time all of the students are either procrastinating about their semester projects, or are on top of things and working on them.

Halloween At The University Store

Spooks

By Sandra Liatsos

There's a goblin at my window, A monster by my door.

The pumpkin at my table keeps on smiling more and more.

There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom, A witch whose face is green.

They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.


For Halloween, on Friday October 30th we had a Halloween contest
and Trick-or-Treating. Below are photos from the University Store/Text
Rental Staff and UWSP students.

When You are Engulfed in Flames

"I haven't the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out."

— David Sedaris (Naked)

On Monday, October 19th David Sedaris graced UWSP with his presence for a book signing and lecture. He is the author of Holidays on Ice, and Barrel Fever. As well as personal essays Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and his latest When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Sedaris’s books have been translated into 25 different languages, and his pieces appear regularly in the New Yorker. Sedaris has won several awards for his work. He was nominated for Grammy Awards in the categories of Best Comedy Album for David Sedaris: Live at Carnegie Hall. In 2001 he was nominated as Humorist of the Year in Time Magazine.

Amanda Samson and I sold Sedaris’s novels throughout the book signing and lecture. The one thing that stuck out to me aside from Sedaris’s hilarious nature was his bluntness. He goes where no man dares to go. Asking one guy, when was the last time you saw your mother naked? Who in their right mind wants to see their mom naked? Sedaris has no shame and is not afraid to test the water. The sincere joy that shined from one ear to the other while talking to his fans was apparent when he gave his undivided attention to each individual. Amanda and I didn’t get to sit in and listen to the lecture. However we could sense that everyone was enjoying themselves. Laughter rang through the doors every five to ten minutes and continued throughout the night.

I like to people watch (I swear I am not a creeper). Majority of his fans stood in line for an eternity, ok it wasn’t an eternity but it was 30-40 minutes. According to my sense of time, that is an eternity. Still, everyone had a smile plastered on their faces. After the last obsessed Sedaris fan left he happily signed numerous copies for the bookstore. He chatted Amanda’s ear off about bunnies and how his sister had a bunny. He didn’t care that it was after eleven at night and had to jet across the country, he gave Amanda the same undivided attention every other person got. Oh and on the end note, Sedaris likes to give prizes out during his lectures. The last thing on a 14 year old boys mind is getting a condom while sitting next to his dad in front of 100 other people. Let your imagination run wild and I am sure even your craziest thoughts, won’t seem so out of the ordinary to David Sedaris.
