Chalk Ads in Classrooms and more

Aug 31, 2010 144 Comments by


Alright it’s Tuesday, and I was supposed to be blogging about graffiti when I thought of those poorly penned, graffiti-like chalk messages adorning the corners of classroom blackboards.

So they’re far from being vandalism, but I actually had a professor last semester who would have a sort of a semi-weekly morning ritual erasing all of those free club promos on the blackboard he was about to use.

How else do campus organizations get your attention? Through in-your-face flyers? Or through — our personal favorite — free food?

We thought we’d continue on with the ruthless-club-promotion tradition for the time being, starting with Caliber‘s club feature for these first few weeks: The Music Connection, a music tutoring club on campus.

For any Berkeley student who is willing and able to give free music lessons (instrumental or vocal) to K-12 students in the area, The Music Connection is currently accepting applications until Sept. 10 through its website here.

Here’s a plus: the application process is short. You don’t need to be a music major; just provide contact information and short “I-am-awesome-and-helpful” answers.

Prospective tutors can choose their preferences from the options:

  • Type of music: piano, flute, trumpet, clarinet, violin, viola, vocal…
  • Time of tutoring: in-class or after-school
  • Place of tutoring: a Berkeley school site (AC transit for the win…)
  • Type of tutoring: group or one-on-one
  • Time commitment: usually 1 hour/wk

The Music Connection coordinates with the Berkeley Unified School District and Berkeley School Volunteers to bring music to K-12 students.

    Тази година ми се иска да подаря нещо по-необичайно като подарък за осми март. То ясно – рози да ама любопитното е какъв да е основният подарък. Герданчета, гривнички, парфюмчета и др под абсолютно винаги минават обаче си е просто да се отчетеш. Ще ми се нещо значително по- нетрадиционно.

    Измислих няколко нещица:

    1. трябва да сте виждали триизмерни образи в кристал обаче трябва да сме заедно – т.е. изненада няма
    2. евентуално почивка да ама няма организация, а и сме на работа
    3. оригинална идея за подарък е портрет по снимка, ама нещо не не може да ме ентусиазира достатъчно и остава накрая

    Да има нещо оригинално да ви идва на ум?

    И текущата студена зима остава да не си напълниш носа със сополи

    Hah! You want to talk about controversy? Tila Tequila was born in Singapore. Her family quickly emigrated to a few places then eventually ended up moving to a small town in Texas. The fact that she is ending up with a sex tape is no surprise to me. That girl is crazy, but you gotta love her. She keeps the attention coming.

The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    Hi there,

    Ever since moving to Australia just a little over 5 years ago, my husband and I have really missed buying in those large retail clothing shops located in America. In specific, we loved purchasing at Gap. It didn’t take us long to recognize that Gap Garments did not exist here in Sydney, let alone Australia! We have just a little 1, and I can’t even start to tell you guys how low-cost Gap is for babies all of the way up to adults. Well… We have a solution for you. We decided to begin up a blog writing about the recent trends of Gap within the US. You’ll be able to stay on top with the latest fashion, styles, and colours whilst reading via our posts each week. Not only that, but we’ve found people hidden locations where you are able to basically buy Gap garments here in Australia! I bet you didnt know that was even probable :)

    Anyway, if there is any info you’ll need on Gap, or any other great outfits retailer inside the US, please let us know.

    Let us know if you have any excellent ideas for new blog posts!

    Let us show you how to find Gap Clothing in Australia
