International Film Festival

I received this email today and though this would be something we could definitely attend.  We can discuss dates and times at the meeting on Thursday.

We'll be meeting at Perk's (corner of Union and Court) at 8:00PM this Thursday, April 12.

Hope to see you all there!

As students promoting the Athens International Film Festival, we felt your
organization would be interested in "The Lives of Others", which recently
won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.  The film takes place in East
Berlin in 1984 and deals with the invasive tactics of the German Democratic
Republic.  In the film, the GDR spies on citizens which are viewed as
"rebels of the state", thus invading their basic human rights.  The
protagonist in the film is a famous playwright whose every move is
monitored by a government official secretly living in his attic.
This film will give students an interesting look into the historical lives
of Germans and also provide an outlet for hearing German, as the film is
subtitled. For more information on this riveting film, please visit
www.thelivesofothers.com

This is a great opportunity for an organizational activity, as well as a
cheap/fun way to support the Athens International Film Festival!

Show times are as follows:
April 27, 7:00 pm, Athena Cinema
April 28, 2:15 pm, 7:00 pm, Athena Cinema
April 29, 2:15 pm, 9:15 pm, Athena Grand
April 30, 4:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 9:45 pm, Athena Grand
May 2, 4:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 9:45 pm, Athena Grand
May 3, 9:30 pm, Athena Grand

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to everyone who turned out to our first Kaffee und Kuchen! It was very successful for the first time, and we will be holding the event every two weeks.

Monday, April 16 will be the next Kaffee und Kuchen - hosted by Dara Bryant and the German Club. We will meet from 4-5PM in Gordy 113. German Club will provide coffee and tea, and Dara will be baking a cake for the event. Hope to see everyone there!

Tutoring + Kaffee und Kuchen

For all 100 and 200 level students - free tutoring sponsored by German Club will begin next Monday and will be held every Monday and Wednesday from 5-6PM until the end of the quarter. The sessions will take place in Gordy 210. Even if you have just one question, please stop by!

Hope to see everyone there!

TSV 1860 gegen Salzburg

Fuer die Fussballfans...TSV 1860 wird gegen Salzburg Red Bulls spielen. Es ist nur ein Testspiel, aber welche Mannschaft soll ich unterstuezten!?


Am Freitag kommen die Löwen zu den Bullen.
Testspiel zwischen Red Bull Salzburg und TSV 1860 München. Freitag, 23.3.2007 – 19:00 Uhr, Bullen-Arena. Kinder unter 15 Jahren haben freien Eintritt. Aufhauser, Kovac, Vargas und Vonlanthen spielen international!

Die T-Mobile Bundesliga pausiert aufgrund der kommenden Länderspiel-Termine bis einschließlich Samstag, 31. März.

Dann geht es für die Bullen nach Wien zu Rekordmeister SK Rapid.

In der Zwischenzeit absolvieren die Spieler Aufhauser, Kovac, Vargas und Vonlanthen ihre Länderspiele:
 René Aufhauser mit Österreich gegen Ghana und Frankreich
 Niko Kovac als Kapitän der kroatischen Nationalmannschaft gegen Mazedonien
 Jorge Vargas mit Chile in Göteborg gegen Brasilien
 Johan Vonlanthen mit der Schweiz in Florida gegen Jamaika und Kolumbien, Vonlanthens Geburtsland.
Vonlanthen hat dazu einen nicht allzu ernst gemeinten Vorschlag: „Eigentlich könnte ich eine Hälfte für die Schweiz und eine Hälfte für Kolumbien spielen!“

Die weiteren Kaderspieler kommen nach einer zweitägigen Pause wieder am kommenden Mittwoch zum Training.

Am Freitag reisen die Löwen in die Bullen-Arena, zu einem Testspiel gegen Red Bull Salzburg.
Beginn: 19:00 Uhr.

Einen Test Bullen gegen Löwen gab es bereits einmal: Am 14. Februar 2006 gewann Red Bull Salzburg in München gegen den TSV 1860 München mit 2:1 – durch Tore von Zickler und Bodnar.

Die Münchener Löwen durchleben dieser Tage sportlich eine turbulente Phase, die kürzlich zur vorzeitigen Vertragsauflösung mit Walter „Schoko“ Schachner führte.

Die Ticket-Preise für Freitag, 23.3.2007: Vollpreis WEST, freie Sitzplatzwahl: € 10,-- Ermäßigt WEST, freie Sitzplatzwahl: € 6,-- Kinder unter 15 Jahren haben freien Eintritt! Red Bull Salzburg-Abonnenten zahlen jeweils die Hälfte!

Für unsere Fans aus München gibt es Karten im Gästesektor.

Final Exam Review Session

German Club and Delta Phi Alpha held a joint review session for final exams today, and we were very excited by the turnout. In a relaxed atmosphere, upper level students answered specific questions of beginning students and wrote exercises for them to complete.

I hope that everyone who came today was able to benefit in some way, and thanks to everyone who took a break out of their own studying and turned out to help.

Viel Glück mit eueren Klausuren!
