Midwestern State University welcomes the community to the following events.

Please announce them on your community calendar. Thank You.

Feb. 1 Dr. Salim Azzouz, Assistant Professor of Engineering, will present "Energy, Past, Present, and
Future” at 7 p.m. in the Clark Student Center Shawnee Theater as part of the Faculty
Forum Series. Today, the energy issue is at the center of a heated debate. With mounting
environmental concerns, worries about fossil fuel supplies, and the ever growing world
population, the prediction that a nascent new energy era spreading its roots all over the
world has become a reality. This presentation is a review of today’s proposed renewable
energy schemes ranging from hydraulic, geothermal, ocean, solar, wind, and hydrogen.
For more information on this free presentation, please call (940) 397-4194.

Feb. 2 Women's basketball vs. Tarleton State at 5 p.m. in D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
Men’s basketball vs. Tarleton State at 7 p.m. in D.L. Ligon Coliseum. For more
information on both games, call (940) 397-4779.

Feb. 3 Continuing Education’s Foreign Film Series presents Ken Loach's awarding-winning drama, The
Wind that Shakes the Barley, at 7 p.m. at the Kemp Center for the Arts. Dr. Nate Moran
will introduce the film that examines a microcosm of civil war in Cork, Ireland. As
political tensions brew in early 1920's Ireland, brothers Damien and Teddy (Cillian
Murphy and Padraic Delaney) abandon their civilian lives and take up arms to liberate
their country from the oppressive "Black and Tan" squads of Britain. Liam Cunningham
co-stars. Admission is free; donations welcome. For more information, call (940) 397-
4756.

The Museum of Art at MSU will present the roundtable discussion, “Faces of Hunger
Here and Nationwide” at 7 p.m. in Gallery 1. Speakers will try to help put a local "face"
on this national struggle during the present economic time. A speaker from National
Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will describe the impact hunger has on mental
health. Mechell Dixon from KFDX will give a national picture about hunger, and three
community members will share their stories of hope and success as they have lived with a
meager existence. Admission is free. For more information, call (940) 397-8900.

materialism, reunite over the death of a friend. The attractive cast meshes perfectly into a

yet their warmth is enviable and inviting. Admission is free; donations welcome. For

snowfall, about 0 to 6 inches at a time, and have a
smaller area to clear; try the Yard Machines Snow Fox
Electric Single-Stage snow thrower, which has a 12.5
inch clearing width and a 6 inch intake height. For a
slightly larger driveway, about 20 to 40 feet long, that
receives light snowfalls, a gas powered single-stage
snow thrower may be best for you.
If you live in an area that receives more than 6 inches
of snow at a time, try a two-stage snow thrower, like
the Yard Machines Summit Series with an electric start
and a 30 inch clearing width. Two-stage snow throw-
ers break up snow with an auger (stage one), churn it
up and send it to the impeller; a high-speed fan that
throws it out of the chute (stage two). These snow
throwers are larger and are ideal for long driveways,
compacted snow and heavy snowfalls.

If you already own a snow thrower, maintaining it is
an important step for smooth winter operation. Here
are a few tips to help keep your snow thrower running
properly.
* Add fresh fuel before you use your snow thrower
for the first time and prime the unit as specified by the
engine manufacturer to make starting easier.
* Change your oil and spark plug at the beginning of
each season, and check the oil before each use.
* Run the unit regularly, at least once a month, to cir-
culate the fuel - even if there’s no snow.
* Always use a manual pump or portable electric tire
inflator to inflate your snow thrower’s tires because the
 tires are low-volume, low-pressure tires. Do not use an
air compressor, because it is generally a high-volume, * Look for signs of wear and tear, and take the unit to

* Check and make sure there are no recalls associated
