Since January 2011 Truman has had a local foods coordinator working on campus, a position currently occupied by Garrett Grider who is in the process of finishing his Truman degree.
 
As the local foods coordinator, Grider is responsible for overseeing the production of approximately six acres of fruits and vegetables at the University Farm. Additionally, he works to sell the produce on campus during the “Market on the Mall” every Wednesday, and also to the dining halls.


The local foods coordinator position is part of the larger “Farm-to-College as a Catalyst for Specialty Crop Production” project Truman has been cultivating since Fall 2010 through a grant from the USDA. The goal of the USDA grant was to promote the production of specialty crops, and Truman’s proposal was designed to build a demand and supply for locally grown food. So far this semester, Sodexo has purchased about $11,000 in locally grown products that have been served to the entire campus community as well as several catered events serving campus and the Kirksville community.

Funding for the project comes from the USDA grant, with matching support from the University and in-kind work. Due to the structure of the grant, technically Grider is an employee of Sodexo. The University contracts with the food service provider, which then uses the funding to hire a local foods coordinator. The grant, scheduled to run through March 2013, also allowed for two interns in Summer 2011 and three interns in Summer 2012.

The Student Activities Board will host actor, writer and stand-up comedian Judah Friedlander as the Fall Comedian at 7 p.m. Nov. 3 in Baldwin Auditorium.

Best know for his role as Frank Rossitano on the Emmy-winning “30 Rock,” Friedlander is known to comics and audiences as one of the funniest and most original stand-up comedians. He has made multiple appearances on many late night talk shows including Letterman, Conan, Jimmy Fallon and “The Daily Show.”


Friedlander was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 2003 Independent Spirit Awards for his role in the Sundance-winning “American Splendor.” Some of his other movies include “Meet the Parents,” “Wet Hot American Summer,” “Feast,” “Zoolander” and “The Wrestler.”

His instructional karate book “How To Beat Up Anybody,” is based on his stand-up act.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The event is free for students and $5 for staff and general admission. Tickets are available now in the SAB Office located on the bottom floor of the Student Union Building.

Not just any average pageant, Alpha Phi Omega will host its national fundraising non-beauty pageant Ugly Man on Campus (UMOC) at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 in Baldwin Auditorium.
 
All organizations across campus may enter one participant, male or female, in the event. Contestants will be judged on quirky and funny characteristics, instead of a more traditional beauty-centered approach. There will be an ugly evening wear portion, interviews and an unusual “ugly” talent session.

Full proceeds from the event will be contributed towards charity. Half of the money raised will go to the winning organization’s charity of choice and the second half will go to the charity of Alpha Phi Omega’s choosing.

Alpha Phi Omega will sponsor penny wars from 10-3 p.m. from Oct. 29-Nov. 7 and Nov. 5-8 in the Student Union Building, Magruder Hall, McClain Hall and Violette Hall.

Tickets will be available at these locations as well and can be purchased for $2 in advance and $3 at the door. For more information, and to participate in the event, contact the UMOC co-chairs at apo.epsilon.umoc@gmail.com.

Students in HLTH 150 Nutrition for Health and Wellness, taught by Janice Clark, associate professor of health science, conducted a food drive Oct. 1-7 as their course service project.

The class raised $1,804.31, as well as 193 jars of peanut butter and two large boxes of food. The money and food were donated to the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri, with the proceeds to directly benefit the Buddy Pack program and the three food pantries in Adair County.  

The project was a service-learning requirement for Clark’s course. Students were challenged to raise more than the $1,200 collected by the 2011 Nutrition class. On the Truman campus, the HLTH 150 students worked at multiple tables Oct. 1-5, asked their peers to donate the money they might have spent on coffee or a soda, and collected more than $500. They also asked for donations at the entrances of the Kirksville Hy-Vee Food Store Oct. 6-7, raising nearly $1,300.

Mike DiSantis, regional coordinator from the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri, accepted the money and food donations Oct. 16.

Characters of all kinds will be converging on the Truman campus and downtown Kirksville for the Oct. 27 Zombie Walk, an event intended to bring added awareness to the issue of disaster preparedness.

Sponsored by the Truman Institute and “Zombie Scholars Academy,” the event is open to the public and starts on the Truman Mall with registration and a performance by Illusion Danz. Participating zombies will join the procession, dragging themselves through campus and down Franklin Street. Zombies reach their final destination, Picker’s Famous, at 5:30 p.m., where limited seating will be available for a 6 p.m. showing of George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” and a preceding performance by True Men.

A donation of two non-perishable food items is required to participate in the zombie walk and proceeds will be donated to the United Way.  Cash contributions, in lieu of food items, are acceptable and will also be donated to the United Way. Admission to the film requires two non-perishable food items, if not already donated for the walk. Appropriate zombie costuming and an apparent loss of motor control is expected of all participants, and an adult should accompany children under the age of 13.

Awards will be given for the best zombie costumes and a drawing will be conducted for prizes relative to the zombie theme at the conclusion of the walk. From fake wounds to ketchup stains and torn garments, participants are encouraged to embrace their inner ghoul and “dress the part.”
 
“The Zombie Scholars Academy” is a new summer youth academy designed by the Truman Institute which aims at fostering critical thinking and problem solving skills by situating students in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. The Institute is working cooperatively with various health professionals, researchers and literary figures to launch the new program and focus attention on disaster preparedness, as well as a range of topics in both the sciences and the humanities.
 
People interested in the Zombie Walk can learn more by visiting zombie.truman.edu/media/walk/ or by calling 660.785.5384.

In addition to the premiere performance, a variety of new instrumental and choral music will be presented by several of Truman’s large ensembles.

The final day of the festival will include chamber music by Truman and outside composers as well as more music by Snowden.
