Campus Life is pleased to announce that they've received a Student Ticket Grant for the Actor's Theatre Production of TopDog/Underdog, which will allow 20 students to see the production for free on Saturday, October 3rd at 8:00 p.m. at Spectrum Theatre on the campus of Grand Rapids Community College. The play is underwritten by the Woodrick Diversity Learning Center.   Topdog/Underdog tells the story of two brothers, Lincoln and Booth, who, abandoned by first one parent and then the other, have had to depend upon each other for survival since they were teenagers.

Thursday, October 8, 2009-7pm in the Loutit Room

Terry Keller will be presenting on and discussing the history of the Psychological Care of the Infant and Child from the view of the person as a machine. We will discuss the idea that happiness consisted of being self-reliant, productive, and devoid of emotion. How did these ideas become so widely accepted and what were the reactions to this emotionless parenting epidemic of the early 1920's and 1930's?
