IUPUIs first urban garden, on the south flank of the Science Building, is shaping up to be a civic engagement experiment befitting an urban research university. Installation will take place on Oct. 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to include: Assembly and positioning of 18 raised beds Bed preparation to create a loamy growing medium; an open-faced sandwich with a bottom layer of cardboard to suppress weeds, a filling of topsoil and compost and a dressing crop of winter rye which will be dug in come spring Creation of mulched footpaths among the beds The list of the gardens internal and external partners continues to grow, with a pivotal meeting coming up on Sept. 30 where many campus stakeholders will discuss making the plot into a learning laboratory across disciplines. There are many contributors and exciting ideas for using the garden space, some still a gleam in the eye and some very close to fruition, thanks to the early project champions. Stay tuned.

Jon "Bowser" Bauman, the deep-voiced Sha Na Na singer, appeared at the Colorado state Capitol Monday to tell lawmakers they can prevent a "sophisticated form of identity theft." He was convincing, apparently, as a committee passed a bill that aims to crack down on phony performers and bands.

"Policymakers slipped this horrendous restriction into a popular military pension/pay bill, (without hearings or public notice, I might add), so insiders say President Bush may actually sign it into law." -- Bob Bauman.
