SUMMARY:Some of Hip Hop’s Best B-boys to Battle It Out at Carleton College
DESCRIPTION:Some of the hip hop world’s best b-boys (or “break-boys”) will take to the floor in a not-to-be-missed battle on Friday\, Oct. 1\, beginning at 7 p.m.\, in the Carleton College Recreation Center. The battle – a competition between a half dozen “crews” from the Twin Cities\, Carleton and Northfield – will be judged by three world-class b-boys hailing from New York City\: Kid Glyde\, Whorah\, and Gravity. Featuring fancy footwork\, acrobatic style\, and back-beats provided by Chicago-based DJ Lester Burnem\, this event is free and open to all ages.
 All three master b-boys are members of the prize-winning break-boy crew\, the Dynamic Rockers. Established in 1979\, the Dynamic Rockers\, whose members mostly hail from Queens and Long Island\, New York\, are responsible for pioneering the art of b-boying\, also known as “breakdancing.” The Dynamic’s original members brought “breakin’” into national and international focus in 1981 with a legendary battle with their biggest rivals at the time\, the Rock Steady Crew\, as part of New York’s Lincoln Center Outdoors Program. The event was covered by National Geographic\, The New York Times\, and The Village Voice—later gaining the crew worldwide exposure and a feature in the film\, “The Last Dragon.”

SUMMARY:Award Winning Author to Deliver Convocation Celebrating Latino Heritage Month at Carleton
DESCRIPTION:Sandra Cisneros\, award-winning novelist and poet\, will give the weekly convocation at Carleton College on Friday\, Oct. 8\, at 10\:50 a.m. in the Skinner Memorial Chapel. Considered to be one of the most prominent contemporary Hispanic-American writers to achieve commercial success\, Cisneros is internationally acclaimed for bringing the experiences and perspectives of Mexican-American women to the forefront of mainstream literature. Following her presentation\, Cisneros will sign copies of her books\, which will be available for purchase at the event. Celebrating Latino Heritage Month\, Cisnero’s appearance is free and open to the public.
 Growing up as the only daughter in a family of seven children that frequently moved back and forth between Mexico and the United States\, Cisneros often experienced feelings of alienation and divided cultural loyalties. She took solace in writing poems and stories throughout her childhood and adolescence\, before finding her literary voice while attending the University of Iowa’s Writers Workshop in the 1970s. Drawing from her ethnic heritage and childhood experiences\, Cisneros’ poetry and fiction capture the perspective of Hispanic individuals isolated from American culture\, coupled with the social and cultural concerns of being a Latina author.

SUMMARY:Astronomer to Discuss Einstein's Wrinkles in Spacetime and Black Holes in Public Lecture at Carleton
DESCRIPTION:Astrophysicist Andrea Lommen will present a lecture entitled \\"Measuring Einstein's Last Great Legacy\: Wrinkles in Space-Time\,\\" on Thursday\, Oct. 14\, at 7\:30 p.m. in Olin Hall\, room 141\, at Carleton College. Lommen’s presentation\, accessible to those with little or no scientific background\, is free and open to the public.
 Lommen explains\, “We think that space is wrinkled\, much like a shirt in need of ironing\, except that the wrinkles in space travel at the speed of light. The wrinkling is the result of something called ‘gravitational waves\,’ whose existence was predicted by Einstein and suggested by various experiments\, but never before directly observed.”
