Celebration Iowa performance June 26Celebration Iowa will present their dress rehearsal performance Thursday, June 26 at 5 p.m., in the parking lot of Storre Theater. The performance will open with Broadway tunes, continue with a revue of "Oliver," and conclude with pop hits from the 1960s to today. The Celebration Iowa jazz band will present charts throughout the performance. There is no charge for admission. Bring your blanket or lawn chair and get ready to enjoy an exciting performance by some of Iowa's most talented high school musicians.June/July Centennial Union PurchasesDining Services is implementing a new point-of-sale and card access system this summer. The old card system will not be used after July 14. Charges made by students, staff, faculty and dependents for purchases made in Oneota, Marty's, Catering, and the Book Shop, will not be processed for payment until after the new system has been installed. Consequently, the payroll deduction in August for Union charges will include both June purchases and July purchases.Ellen's Computer Tip of the WeekBack by popular demand: How to use Bcc in e-mail to win friends. There are several reasons for using Eudora or WebMail's "Bcc:" or blind carbon copy, feature. Enter all addresses on the "Bcc" line when you send a mass e-mail, and recipients will not have to scroll through the names of all the other recipients before they reach your message. Some recipients may not appreciate having their e-mail address widely disseminated to people they don't know. The size of the message will be smaller and save space on email servers and individuals' "In" boxes. You may address a message to yourself and put all the other recipients' addresses on the "To:" line.Updated paper color books at Print ShopPlease send your paper book in to the Print Shop so we can update the available colors. Please be sure and put your department on the book so we know who to return it to.
