The Dave Wallace Scholarship was created in honor of Dave Wallace, a well-known local artist who graduated from MSUM, spent part of his career as a full-time potter, and for the last 20 years served as the university’s art director.

The scholarship fund will allow a $500 scholarship to be awarded each year to an MSUM ceramics student. The goal is to raise $10,000 for a permanent endowment.

The entry fee for the “Wally Open” is $25 (tax-deductible) plus green fees and cart fees (optional). Recruit your favorite playing partners and enter as a foursome or you can enter individually and be paired with others. There are hole prizes and an abundance of door prizes, including a ceramic piece created by Dave Wallace.

Contact John Tandberg at 218.233.1128 or jtandberg@msn.com to register.

If you are not a golfer, please consider making a contribution at this time to the scholarship fund in honor of Dave Wallace. You can sponsor your own virtual foursome for only $100.

You can donate to the fund by calling 218-.477.2497. You can also donate online at donate.mnstate.edu. From there, choose Make a Donation and then the College of Arts and Humanities where you can select the Dave Wallace Fund.

INSTRUCTOR or ASSISTANT PROFESSOR of MUSIC EDUCATION

Lane Zyvoloski

Three Minnesota State University Moorhead mass communication majors, Lane Zyvoloski, Sauk Rapids, Minn., Bryce Haugen, Moorhead, Minn., and Kaitlyn Teske, Fargo, N.D., were honored

nationally by the Society of Professional

Journalist’s 2012 Mark of Excellence Awards.

Senior, Zyvoloski, won a national award for Online Feature Reporting from a medium-sized school for her “Being Queen: Life in Drag” story she wrote for the MSUM blog “Doing it Downtown.”

“I am humbled and extremely thankful to the people who made this possible,” Zyvoloski said. “The drag queens allowed me into their lives and they didn’t have to. My professor helped me edit and edit again and again and I couldn’t have done this without her.”

Bryce Haugen

Haugen, a senior, was a national finalist for Breaking News Reporting from a medium-sized school for his “Sanford gives $2 million to Dragon Athletics” article he wrote for “The Advocate,” MSUM’s student-produced newspaper. The national winner from this category was a student from the Ivy League school, Brown University.

“It’s validating to know that reporting work done at MSUM can get acknowledged at this level of competition,” Haugen said. “This is the most exciting thing that has happened to me so far in my reporting career.”

Kaitlyn Teske

Teske, a 2012 graduate, was a national winner for Feature Photography from a medium-sized school for her “Kaffestua: Sunburg Man Serves Authentic Norwegian Food” photo story that was published in MSUM’s “Horizonlines.org” “To Be Different” edition.

“I think the hands on approach that MSUM gives to its mass communication students really helped me blossom as a photographer,” Teske said. “Guidance from the photo professors and being able to work on projects like “Horionlines.org” gave me the opportunity to explore projects like this that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have found.”

SPJ’s Mark of Excellence awards honor the best in student journalism. Judges were directed to choose only the entries that they felt were worthy of a national award. If the judges determined that none of the entries met the level of excellence, than no award was given.

Mahraun will sing the title track of the CD, “A Toast To Prohibition” by Irving Berlin. Mahraun was full-time member of Rose when they premiered and toured the state with this program of music from the 19th-century temperance movement, the campaigns for and against the 18th Amendment, and jazz and blues from the Prohibition era.

The CD will be released in January 2014 with a series of concerts at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul.

The Minnesota State University-Moorhead Planetarium is hosting an event for intergalactic hitchhikers at 7 p.m. for Towel Day, May 25.

Towel Day (towelday.org) is an annual memorial day for fans of Douglas Adams, author of the sci-fi comedy series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Since towels are “about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have,” planetarium visitors are encouraged to bring their towels to receive a discount and participate in a contest for the coolest towel.

Solar System Ambassador Scarlet Gray Bernard will present a (Hitchhiker’s) Guide to the Galaxy in the planetarium, guiding guests on a tour of our place in the galaxy, discussing how we know what we know, and enhancing the presentation with the wit of Douglas Adams.

Besides a guide to the galaxy and a coolest towel contest, visitors are encouraged to compose some very painful poetry if they want to participate in a Vogon poetry contest, and to brace themselves for a Total Perspective Vortex to see “how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big [space] is.”

The planetarium has an admission rate of $2 per person, $1 per hitchhiker with a towel. Babel fish will be provided. More information can be found on the planetarium’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/msumplanetarium.

Further information about the Solar System Ambassadors Program is available at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ambassador. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.
