Ore Gangue 2007-2008: Organizations

BIOSCAN Volunteers

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:50:49 GMT

Hey LTS volunteers! We have a great opportunity this year to participate to BIOSCAN.

BIOSCAN is an informative, hands-on public event for all ages that explores all aspects of biology and the natural sciences.

Let's Talk Science will be part of the BIOSCAN this year and we are hoping to have a large team of volunteers and offer various hands on activities. Some of the topics that we have in mind for the hands-on activities are:

PALEONTOLOGY
OPTICS
CHEMISTRY OF WATER
DNA-GENETICS
ADAPTATION
PLANTS

If you are interested in any of these topics or you would like to participate to BIOSCAN with any other activity please contact Sand the Site Coordinator by phone (966-5737) or by email (letstalkscience@usask.ca). You can also sign up on the lists in the Ore Gangue Lounge posted on the entrance walls.

BIOSCAN will take place from 7 - 9th of March and it will be a great opportunity for you to complete an activity at the university, in a time that will not conflict with your class schedule (Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday).

Volunteer's Needed!!!!

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 00:34:18 GMT

There will be a geology workshop this Friday (Feb 1st) at 9.30 am. This will be for University of Saskatchewan Let's Talk Science Partnership Program. This will consist of 2 activity sessions (9.30-11.30) and (12-1.30pm). All the activities are already designed and ready to go. We just need some extra hands. For those who will probably not go to Geochem, this will probably be the best way to redeem yourself or your conscious in doing this. If there are any questions or confirmations on times please contact Sanda (Site Coordinator) at letstalkscience@usask.ca. If you are interested please contact her.

Ore Gangue memberships are on sale all year. They can be purchased for $10 from any member of the executive. A membership gives you access to campus rec teams for no charge and use of the lounge including the fridge, microwave, cable TV, DVD player and foosball tables and many other benefits. Remember these benefits are ONLY for members. Members also receive discounted entry to all our beer nights. Non-members pay $10 for beer nights and members pay $5. Remember second years that you still need a membership even though beer nights are free for you for the time being.

Videos on PAWS

Sat, 17 Sep 2005 18:13:09 GMT

NOTE ON VIDEOS:

Videos posted on PAWS must first be downloaded to your computer for them to play. The PAWS server does not host video content so they are not streamed. I will try to keep them under 15Mb so they will download quick when using high speed. Look for some bowling videos coming on Monday.

PAWS Group

Fri, 16 Sep 2005 21:23:09 GMT

I have just recently obtained space on PAWS. To find this group look under the groups section of PAWS and search for the Ore Gangue it is located under the category of Campus Clubs. and add it to your groups. This space will be used to post the newsletter in PDF form, videos and whatever else is necessary. All groups on PAWS are checked on by the U of S so we can't put anything too wild on it or they will remove it from the site. So check it out in the near future for the first addition of the Rock Pile come early next week. A note to all alumni who visit this site you can also view files on PAWS if you have graduated from the U of S since 2001 and for those who graduated before 2001 you can contact the University Advancement
Customer Service Center to obtain a NSID.

APEGS REQUIREMENTS

Wed, 20 Apr 2005 22:36:29 GMT

I have posted a link under the Geology Links Section that will let you download a list of APEGS required classes in Geology from the U of S. It is a pdf file so it should be accesible to everyone. If not let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy. I know everyone asks what the requirements are so I have made it easy for everyone to find out from the source at APEGS.
