Festival de Flor y Canto: Yesterday, Today, TomorrowWed, Sep 15, 2010
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
In 1973, USC hosted the Flor y Canto literary festival, a three-day event that featured dozens of emerging Mexican American poets and writers in the nascent Chicano movement. One of the recurring themes was the contrast between great Mesoamerican civilizations of the past and the indignities suffered by those chasing the elusive âAmerican Dream.â This year, which marks the centennial of the Mexican Revolution and the bicentennial of Mexican independence, the university will reprise the event, inviting prominent participants from the previous festivalâincluding Alurista, Juan Felipe Herrera, Rolando Hinojosa, José Montoya and Ron Ariasâto share the stage with a new generation of Chicano and Latino writers.
Organized by Tyson Gaskill (USC Libraries), Barbara Robinson (USC Libraries) and MarÃa-Elena MartÃnez (History and American Studies and Ethnicity). Co-sponsored by El Centro Chicano and the Latino Student Assembly.
Admission is free.

After the lecture, Méndez will host a hands-on workshop focused on combining words and images, with the goal of choosing images and typefaces not just for their readability, but also for their broader visual correlations. Students will create posters and compile their work into a booklet using a simple bookbinding technique.
Born in Mexico, Rebeca Méndez received her MFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, and is a professor at UCLA in the Department of Design | Media Arts. Recent gallery shows include the Beall Center for Art and Technology, Irvine, curated by Christiane Paul of the Whitney Museum; Minotti, Los Angeles; Haaz Gallery, Istanbul; AndLab Art, Los Angeles; Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery, Pasadena; and the Broad Art Center, Los Angeles. She has had solo exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Brandstater Gallery and the Laguna College of Art and Design.

USC Programming Contest
Sun, Sep 26, 2010 @ 01:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Receptions & Special Events
From the event page here: http://contest.usc.edu/
Have fun!
Extend your resume!
Show how smart you are!
Impress your friends!
Win cash and other prizes!
Represent USC at the ACM Programming Contest!
Do you like to solve problems like the following ones?
* To pay your friends a dollar, you can give them, for example, four quarters, or five dimes and ten nickels. Write a program that calculates how many different combinations of coins there are that make up a given amount of money (say, 20 dollars) from pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
* You are given the description of a lake as a polygon, as well as your own position in a boat somewhere on the lake. When you throw a rock in the water, the waves travel away from the impact point at a speed of 1 meter per second. Write a program to calculate the earliest time at which a wave will hit the shore.
* You are given the names of n people who are to be divided into k alphabetical segments, for instance, to stand in line for registration at USC. An "alphabetical segment" consists of all people whose last name starts with a letter between two given endpoints (for example, D-H). Write a program that finds a division into k alphabetical segments such that each person is in exactly one segment, and the number of people in the largest segment is minimized.
Participate in the USC Programming Contest!
The contest is open to all undergraduate and graduate USC students, regardless of major, as long as they were born in (current year - 23) or later.
We use the USC Programming Contests to pick students that we train for the ACM Regional Programming Contest. If you like all details of the USC Programming Contests and would like to keep updated about the contests, you can subscribe to the USC contest mailing list.

The USC Programming Contests are organized by David Kempe, Liang Huang, Suya You, Alex Dimakis, the USC ACM student chapter, and Upsilon Pi Epsilon of the Computer Science Department of USC. Please contact David Kempe (dkempe(at)usc(dot)edu) with any questions.

"Enemy Number One": Lion Feuchtwanger and the Literature of Exile
Wed, Sep 29, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
The USC Libraries are home to the papers and library of historical novelist Lion Feuchtwanger, who escaped his native Germany after Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933. Because he was an outspoken critic of the Nazi Party, the Nazis ordered his books burned and declared him âEnemy Number One.â The libraries recently published a new edition of Feuchtwangerâs The Devil in France, a memoir of his internment and escape from Nazi-occupied France. He wrote movingly about the political situation in Europe and his experiences as an exiled writer. He later escaped to Los Angeles, where Theodor Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Fritz Lang, Thomas Mann and other German émigré artists and intellectuals gathered during World War II. Feuchtwangerâs story illuminates the struggles faced by artists who speak truth to power and endure exile from their native countries.
In conjunction with this new publication and in honor of Banned Books Week, join us for a panel discussion on censorship, repression and writing in exile with Feuchtwanger Fellow Christopher Mlalazi, a Zimbabwean playwright and poet who was placed under government surveillance for writing critically about the Mugabe regime; Michelle Gordon, professor of English at USC; Wolf Gruner, professor of history at USC; and Cornelius Schnauber, director of USCâs Max Kade Institute. Following the panel, visit USCâs Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and see an exhibition of rare photos and other materials related to German exiles in Los Angeles.
Admission is free.
Refreshments will be served.
