Charles Wheelan

Economics can often be dry, mathematical and complex. The first speaker for the spring Contemporary Issues Lecture Series seeks to make economics accessible, comprehensible and appealing with his clear, witty, guy-next-door approach.

Charles Wheelan, a renowned public speaker, columnist and author on economics, kicks off the spring 2010 Contemporary Issues Lecture Series at 7 p.m. Monday Feb. 15, in the Young Auditorium, with his presentation, "Naked Trends: What Can Basic Economics Tell Us About the Future." The lecture series, presented by the College of Letters and Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, is in its fifth year. Click here for more on Charles Whelan. and also here

Charles Wheelan is a columnist for Yahoo!'s popular "Naked Economics" finance section and has written for the Chicago Tribune, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He is author of the groundbreaking book "Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science."

"I believe it is important in today's harsh economy to bring in a lecturer to talk about the economy and Charles Wheelan does an excellent job making complex issues understandable," said Susan.

She hopes that students take advantage of the series and challenge themselves to think critically. "The series provides a wonderful opportunity to hear and learn from prominent people who have had success in their careers," she said. "Many classes directly correlate with the series and it's a great way to bring learning beyond the confines of the classroom setting."

(Feb 5) Warhol photos boost Crossman Gallery collection

Mick Jagger

Golfer Jack Nicklaus, among others.

A recent gift of more than 150 photographs valued at $163,000 from famed pop artist Andy Warhol is a huge boost to the already growing reputation of the Crossman Gallery on the UWW campus.

Warhol, famous for the Campbell's soup cans and montage of Marilyn Monroe, was a prolific artist whose work reached across mediums such as print, photography and film. He is considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. UWW's curator of the Crossman Gallery Michael Flanagan said, "These pieces give the university and the Crossman Gallery real name recognition." Some of the photos are currently on display in an exhibit highlighting the Crossman's permanent collection.

So how did UW-Whitewater end up with the Warhol pieces? They come from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which donates photographs to educational institutions across the country.

The black-and-white photos and Polaroid portraits include head shots of Mick Jagger, tennis professionals Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe and golfer Jack Nicklaus, among others, along with photos of parties and outdoor scenes.

The Crossman Gallery plans to do an exhibit featuring the newly acquired Warhol photos. In the meantime, the public can view select pieces on display in the Crossman Gallery's current exhibit open now through Saturday, Feb. 13.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. The Crossman Gallery is located at 950 West Main Street, on the first floor of the Greenhill Center of the Arts building.

The seventh grade students recently completed their economic unit where they focused where they focused on our country's economy. The students filled out job applications and worked in simulated factories. The students worked hard to make and sell a variety of items from greeting cards to snowman soup. Their success was celebrated with a holiday work party. One of the greatest successes was the almost 30 birthday bags that were created for the Whitewater food pantry. The seventh grade students also donated $100 to the Whitewater food pantry. We would like to thank all who helped in the donation!

(Feb 4) A recent gift of real estate valued at $1 million will be used to help provide local housing for University of Wisconsin-Whitewater faculty and staff members. Whitewater businessman and First Citizens State Bank President Jim Caldwell and his wife, Julie, donated 23 parcels of land to the UW-Whitewater Foundation. The lots are located in a new housing development on the City of Whitewater's northwest side near West Bloomingfield Drive.

"This is a generous gift that will give us yet another tool to help attract and retain faculty and staff members," Chancellor Richard Telfer said. "The Caldwells continue to put the University and the Whitewater community first with their many gifts of support. I, and the entire UW-Whitewater community, am grateful for their gift of this land as well as the time and energy they put into helping campus on many levels. I am looking forward to seeing how this real estate gift develops and impacts the entire community."

Jim said he hopes this property will encourage faculty and staff members to make the Whitewater community their home.

"Julie and I were pleased to be able to make this gift to the Foundation to assist UW-Whitewater in its mission to continue to attract top talent to the University," he said. "This may provide an opportunity to create a cluster of faculty and staff living in a central area close to the campus."

The real estate parcels will be managed by a real estate subsidiary of the UW-Whitewater Foundation. The UW-Whitewater Foundation approved the creation of this subsidiary as well as the planned use of the land for university housing at its Feb. 3 meeting. Foundation officials will consult with University and community leaders over the coming months to develop specific plans for the use of the real estate.

"University leaders have long been interested in increasing the numbers of faculty and staff who live in the Whitewater community," said Jonathan Enslin, UW-Whitewater Foundation president and Assistant Chancellor for University Advancement. "It is wonderful that the Caldwells not only share this vision, but have stepped forward with such a wonderful gift."

(Feb 3) Living the Olympic Dream through Movin' and Munchin

Movin ' and Munchin' is a program that promotes physical activity and healthy nutrition. Throughout the month of February the children of Whitewater Middle School will be participating in activities to promote healthy lifestyles. The children will learn about and keep a record of healthy food choices at home and at school. For example: having raw carrots or fresh fruit instead of chips or making a dairy smoothie with frozen fruit. In addition they will keep a record of their choices for physical activity. For example: taking a walk or a bike ride instead of playing video games.

Movin' and Munchin' is an innovative approach to the growing problem of obesity, poor nutritional choices, and the lack of physical activity among school children. Although focused on the children, the program will also include staff, friends, and family members of all ages. Children will be learning how to take a positive approach to their health. By learning to make good choices for snacks, meals, and being physically active, the ultimate goal is to make those choices for a lifetime of fun.

Since the Olympics originated in Athens, Greece, our Whitewater Middle School Olympic Torch will move as children record their food choices and physical activity. The children will earn 'miles' to help us move the Whitewater Middle School Olympic Torch from Whitewater to Athens, Greece and then to Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, the site of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The total Movin' and Muchin' miles will be 7786, so they are movin' to meet the goal!
