OUR CHANGING TIMES
Indiana is famously funny about time: While the rest of the country is springing forward or falling back, Hoosiers just hunker down and dig in their heels, except for those few maverick counties at the extreme ends of the state. But for some time now, Law School time has been even funnier, with every classroom in a different time zone, and tremors of some minor resulting civil unrest. As a result, your Law School administration has decided to institute a reform. During fall break, the Law School's clocks have been made to reflect one single, official, legal time which, in case you were wondering, happens to correspond with U.S. Navy Time. You can see it for yourself at www.time.gov.
Please, if you notice any renegade clocks, do not take matters into your own hands! Report the irregularity to Library Director Colleen Pauwels (pauwels@indiana.edu). .
EVENTS & LECTURES
BAUDE TO GIVE INAUGURAL LECTURE
On Nov. 2, Professor Baude will give the inaugural lecture to celebrate his appointment to the Ralph F. Fuchs Professorship of Law and Public Service. The lecture, on "Federalism and the Idea of Law Practice," will begin at 3:00 p.m. in the Moot Court Room.
NEWS FROM THE FACULTY
Professor Cate participated in a forum on "Security v. Liberty: Is There a Choice?," hosted by The New Republic at the National Press Club in Washington, along with former CIA director James Woolsey and New Republic legal editor Jeffrey Rosen. He gave the keynote addresses at Experian's Vision 2001 conference in San Antonio ("Why Should We Care About Fraud Anyway?"), and at an American Corporate Counsel Association conference in Cincinnati ("Privacy in the Information Age"), where he also moderated a roundtable of Fortune 500 company chief privacy officers. He spoke on "Internet Privacy" at the Women in Law conference, and on "Information Privacy" at an Indiana Legislature Services Agency CLE program, both in Indianapolis.

NEWS FROM STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
TRICK-OR-TREATERS AT THE LAW SCHOOL
In Professor Orenstein's absence, the SLA is coordinating this year's trick or treating at the law school. Children of students, faculty and staff are invited to show off their costumes Halloween afternoon (Wednesday, Oct. 31st) from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. We need people with candy! If you would like to have the children stop by your office for a treat, please e-mail Dean Fromm so we can put a list together. Student groups are invited to participate as well!
LAW SCHOOL/RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE ON HALLOWEEN
The IU School of Law/Red Cross Blood Drive is on October 31. This year, because the event is being held on Hallowe'en, a Vampire Raffle is being held. In order to enter to win one of dozens of prizes, including a $300 Seiko watch from GoldCasters, a pair of 14 kt. gold earrings from Victor Settle, or $5 and $10 gift certificates for local shops and restaurants, you only have to donate a pint of blood. The law school organization whose membership donates the most pints (per capita) will have a special happy hour hosted for them by Nick's English Hut. Faculty and staff can donate as well, and can designate an organization to help the competition along.
Look for posters listing the prizes and sponsors. Later, there will be sign up sheets for scheduling donation times for your convenience. In these troubled times, let's all do what we can to help others in need. Giving blood means giving life.
HALLOWEEN PARTY
If you haven't seen the flyers yet, then you don't know that it is time to buy your Halloween Party Ticket! The Student Law Association invites everyone except disembodied souls to the Holiday Inn on Friday, November 2nd (1710 N. Kinser Pike, just off the 45/46 Bypass) for some devilish dancing, and monstrous merriment. Tickets are just $10 for all the fun one goblin can handle. We have an awesome DJ this year. You really don't want to miss this one! Get your ticket from the stand in the hallway during lunch, or from one of the SLA Representatives. Here are their names for those who are challenged by civic awareness: Chris Cosby, Johnny Pryor, Jim Sarbinoff, Atto Commey, Jen Hess, Matt Silverman, Carina de la Torre, Chris Gibbs, and last but not least, Megan Stifel. Buy tickets early, buy tickets often, but most importantly...BUY TICKETS.
BLSA GONG SHOW ON NOV. 9
The yearly presentation of the BLSA GONG SHOW will take place on Nov. 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The Gong Show is a variety show during which IU Law Students and others display their talents in an attempt to win one of the three cash prizes. But, to just let the students present their talents alone would not be enough, so added to the entertainment is a large Gong, which the judges strike at their own whim or at the direction of the crowd! Come out and support your fellow classmates. Ticket sales will begin on October 29th. Acts are still needed! If you would like to perform during the show, please send an e-mail to Joey Tellez (jstellez@indiana.edu). Join us in celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the IU BLSA Gong Show!

TELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICY COURSE
The following course, offered by the department of telecommunications (not the Law School), may be of interest to some law students:
T635 Comparative Telecommunications Policy (Pre-requisite: T504 or consent of instructor.)
This course will compare telecommunications policy and policymaking in the U.S. with the policies and policy systems of other nations. We will cover policy issues related to new technologies such as the Internet and broadband. Some of the regions or countries that will be examined include the US, some Latin American and Asian countries as well as regions like Eastern and Western Europe, among others. Students will research several countries and identify how the issues discussed in class are being handled by the regulatory entities in those countries. Students will write a major research paper and will seek a conference or journal to which they can submit their work. For more information, contact Dr. Millie Rivera Sanchez at mriveras@indiana.edu or call her at 855-7720.
