So you like Art and Literature (me too!)? So every once and a while you catch yourself doodling in textbook margins or inking lines of poetry on the backs of napkins?  So creative writing and art making are a part of your everyday life?  So you cry at the end of “It’s A Wonderful Life”?  What does all this mean?!
 
I can tell you one thing–it means you should probably type up your fiction stories, nonfiction essays and poetry pieces and submit them for publication in the magazine.  OR, if art is you “bag” (a nice little tote you use to go organic grocery shopping in), then you should draw them up, scan them in, photograph them–whatever it takes–and submit those, too, for publication in Colonnades.
 
Don’t be like George Bailey, and have to see the finished magazine before you wish that you were in it!  Submit work now!  The deadline is the final day of Winter term!
 
All literary submissions will be collected at the Colonnades Office, room 304 in Whitley  Building.  All art submissions will be collected in the foyer of the Arts West building in JPEG form on CD or as hard copy upon request (e-mail Mark Brewin at the below address for more information).
 
Be a cool kid.  Auld Lang Syne.  When a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.  Poetry, Art, beauty.  All that stuff. 
 
For questions, e-mail Mark Brewin at mbrewin@elon.edu, or the Colonnades office at colonnades@elon.edu.
 
]]> Colonnades, P.R.: Please Resusitate! /u/news/2007/11/21/colonnades-p-r-please-resusitate/ Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:14:00 +0000 /u/news/2007/11/21/colonnades-p-r-please-resusitate/

Below is an example of the average conversation

that Colonnades Magazine has with everyone:


“Ahoy, All! The Arts and Literary Magazine for Elon here!

Oh. Wait. You’ve never heard of us?

For serious? Colonnades. No, not the dining hall.

No, we don’t run out of there.

No, I couldn’t tell you anything about the Business program on campus…”

And you know what, we’re tired of this!

We are tired of being so ‘dang good, and having no one know about it, or being a part of it!


So here is what we are thinking—

What if we had this contest with prizes and shirts and buttons (among other things), and asked you

and your friends (and two of their friends, and so on)

to come up with a campaign slogan, logo, poster,

button, shirt, foam finger, etc.

And what if we had a huge opening and told you

that there was even going to be a party and gallery opening

and the winners will have their work featured all over

campus and in the magazine.


Sound good? We thought so.

There is a gold mine of ideas out there: like the new dining hall

taking our name (we’ve had it for at least a decade!),

or the Geeky-nature of Artists/Writers (that’s right I said it!), and on and on.


   Submissions are due November 27th and can be any medium (in
                   reason).  For more information, go to
     www.ColonnadesMagazine.blogspot.com for guidelines and
        additional information, or contact, mbrewin@elon.edu

]]> Banned Books Reading, Thursday Oct. 25 /u/news/2007/10/23/banned-books-reading-thursday-oct-25/ Tue, 23 Oct 2007 20:57:00 +0000 /u/news/2007/10/23/banned-books-reading-thursday-oct-25/ Ahoy, English Majors…and everyone else!

Do you like books?  Do you like learning things?
Anything at all, curiosity is what I am getting at here.

Do you like to be a little bit of a Rebel, rule-breaker? 
Sure you do, it is understandable–I like to make a stand too, every now and again (I promise I won’t tell anybody that you were the “bully” at your middle school.)

If you said “yes” to any or all of these (or you are one of those types who doesn’t respond out loud to internet  Ads), then you’ll definitely  get a kick out of Banned Books!

You’ve heard of them?  Oh, good.  That makes things easier.  And since you like Banned Books, and enjoy lunch money you have just “borrowed”, and learning and English and things like that, then why not join the English Department, every cool kid you’ve ever known and some great Authors, this Thursday, October 25th, at 7:30, at Alamance 3rd floor, 305 A (the big, comfy room with couches, food and other people reading things).

Please join us: eat some food,  bring a favorite banned book, sign-up and share it with us!

Don’t know what books have been banned?  Not sure what the list could possibly have?  At least interested?  Try Wikipedia’s total “List of Banned Books”.  (I know you use that site for papers.  It’s okay, I do it too.  I mean, what don’t they know?!)
