Freedom of Expression
Undergraduate Student Governance
The University recognizes a representative student organization that serves as a channel for student opinion for each school. Recognition has been extended by the University, in consultation with the Office of Student Activities, to the following governing bodies:
Arts and Science Council. Membership includes the presidents of all registered academic majors' associations plus one freshman and one sophomore student representative. The president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer are elected by the students of the College.
Blair Council. Membership is represented by elected members from the classes and by an elected Executive Committee.
Engineering Council. Membership includes elected representatives from each of the classes, the president, and one elected representative from each registered professional society.
Student Association of Peabody College. The association is directed by an Executive Committee, and members are elected at large by students of Peabody College. Each class also has a representative on the Executive Committee.
Interhall. Interhall is the governing body of residence halls which acts as a liaison between residents and the Office of Housing and Residential Education. All students in residence are members.
Panhellenic, National Pan-Hellenic, and Interfraternity Councils. The Panhellenic Council (Panhel), the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and the Interfraternity Council (IFC), which govern the activities of the Greek social organizations, are composed of representatives from each registered national and local sorority and fraternity on campus.
Student Government Association. The SGA has two divisions: the Student Senate and the Executive Cabinet. The Student Senate, composed of two senators from each class and the president of each school, lobbies and conducts research on resolutions for specific issues. The Executive Cabinet is the program division of the SGA and provides various campus programs and activities. Students can become involved with SGA through the Student Senate or committees.
Undergraduate student government is empowered to act in the following areas in accordance with University policies:
Student Finance Committee. The Committee is a representative student group which annually allocates to student organizations funds collected as student activities fees. Membership comprises the eight elected SGA class senators, a representative from the Graduate Student Council, a representative from the professional schools, and three student representatives appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
Graduate and Professional Student Governance
The Graduate School and all of the professional schools and/or programs have representative student organizations that serve as channels for student opinion.
Graduate Student Council of the Graduate School. Membership consists of one elected representative from each department, but any graduate student may participate.
Graduate/Professional Student Association of Peabody College. Membership consists of representatives elected by students in each department. This body coordinates academic, social, and other activities significant to the student community and is also available to the administration and faculty for consultation regarding concerns of the students in Peabody College.
Vanderbilt Bar Association. Membership consists of students of the Law School who are directed by a Board of Governors elected by the classes.
Student Council of the Divinity School. Membership consists of editors of the two student publications and representatives from the various levels of academic training.
Council of Class Officers (School of Medicine). Membership consists of elected officers from each class.
Graduate Nursing Council. Membership consists of representatives of each of the five clinical majors in the M.S.N. program.
Owen School Student Association (OSSA). The Executive Council membership consists of five second-year representatives and four first-year representatives, but all registered candidates for Owen School degrees can participate in OSSA activities. OSSA provides leadership and coordination for professional and social activities.
Student Communications
Vanderbilt Student Communications, Incorporated (VSC), is a nonprofit corporation affiliated with the University that publishes and supervises the Vanderbilt Hustler, the campus newspaper; the Commodore yearbook; Versus, a general interest magazine; The Vanderbilt Review, an annual literary-photo magazine; WRVU, an FM radio station; and Vanderbilt Video Productions.
Publications for general distribution to the University community or to persons outside the membership of a student organization and publications funded directly by the student activities fee or indirectly through the VSC Creative Arts Fund are under the exclusive authority of VSC.
Any student organization, supported directly or indirectly by the University, financially or otherwise, wishing to print and distribute a newsletter, must be registered by the Office of Student Activities and must advise the Office of their intention to publish. Newsletters should inform members of the organization or interested persons about news and activities relevant to that student group, but should not be a journal of opinion. Newsletters must conform to the appropriate editorial and business policies of VSC, as contained in its Editorial Standard Code and Bylaws.
Distribution of publications not produced by Vanderbilt organizations must conform to University policies regulating the use of University facilities.
Study Abroad Programs for Undergraduates
Through the College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt has established the following direct-credit programs of study abroad:
Through Peabody College, Vanderbilt has established the following opportunities for study in Cambridge, England:
Vanderbilt participates in selected Council on International Educational Exchange's (CIEE) programs in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Russia, and Taiwan. Vanderbilt also participates in selected Butler Institute for Study Abroad programs in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and Scotland, as well as CET's programs in China, and Siena, Italy.
In general, the policies and regulations in the Student Handbook apply to students registered for the Vanderbilt study abroad programs, although some additional regulations may apply. Students on academic or disciplinary probation may be prohibited from participating in study abroad programs. Specific regulations for students enrolled in study abroad programs are available from the program directors or from the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Science or from the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs of Peabody College.
The directors of study abroad programs are responsible for academic matters. They are also responsible for co-curricular and disciplinary matters, within the limits of the policies established by the University.
A committee of at least three persons and the director will advise on both curricular and co-curricular matters.
In disciplinary cases the director will conduct a hearing and take appropriate action. Students may appeal a decision by requesting a review of the case by the committee (without the director) mentioned above. The committee will either consent or refuse to hear the appeal after examining the record.
Students are required to abide by the laws of the particular country with respect to the age at which alcoholic beverages may be consumed. Otherwise, all of the policies with respect to alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs included in this Handbook apply. Students are subject to disciplinary action including expulsion and referral for prosecution for violation of these policies.
Undergraduate students enrolled in an study abroad program will be charged only for that portion of the Student Activities Fee allocated to the Commodore yearbook.
Student Activities
To be eligible for participation in any contest or activity other than a social one, or to act as a representative of Vanderbilt in any public exercise, a student must be a full-time student of the University (as determined by the academic policies of the school in which he or she is registered). A student on disciplinary probation may not hold a leadership position, including (but not limited to) Admissions Tour Guide, Summer Academic Orientation Leader, Vuceptor, or Resident Adviser. Student organizations and University departments may have additional eligibility requirements.
A student must be full time and not on academic or disciplinary probation to be eligible to hold office in a student organization or to be a division head or business manager of a VSC division. For undergraduates, full-time registration is defined as being registered for and carrying twelve hours per semester during the regular academic year or nine hours in the summer. Also, an undergraduate student must maintain a cumulative C average. For clarification, see Nonacademic Undergraduate Class Designation
Eligibility standards that exceed these minimum standards may be set by student organizations or their governing bodies.
Requests for exception or waiver of eligibility regulations should be made through the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee with the recommendation of the appropriate governing body.
If a student's participation in co-curricular activities threatens academic performance, the University may counsel the student about the scope of these activities. If a student is subjected to disciplinary action, restrictions may be placed on campus co-curricular activities for the period of the sanction.
The University may regulate the campus activities of organizations whose activities relate to the University's educational and service purposes. An organization whose membership includes students is under University jurisdiction when it seeks:
The Office of Student Organizations registers undergraduate and graduate student organizations within the Vanderbilt community. Sport clubs must have approval from the Director of Campus Recreation. In addition, religious groups must have approval from the Director of Religious Affairs. Political groups must be approved by the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee. Volunteer and/or service organizations must be approved by the Coordinator of Volunteer Activities. Greek organizations require approval of the Greek advisers.
Student organizations must reapply for registration yearly. All organizations must have current membership and policy information on file in the Office of Student Organizations.
The registration application will include a statement of purpose, criteria for membership, rules of procedure, and names of officers and advisers. An organization must affirm that it does not discriminate unlawfully on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation (see the "Statement on Sexual Orientation" section in the "Foreword" of this Handbook), age, military service, disability, or national or ethnic origin, and that activities will be conducted in the spirit of this affirmation. Also, an organization must affirm that it will conduct its activities in accordance with all University policies and federal, state, and local laws.
To be eligible for registration, an organization must:
A registered organization may hold meetings on campus, in accordance with space reservation procedures, and advertise and promote itself on campus. Meetings or other activities scheduled off campus may not be listed in the Vanderbilt Register except by special authorization from the Office of Student Organizations. Requests for exceptions to any of these policies must be directed to the Office of Student Organizations.
Officially recognized organizations may use the University's name for purposes generally consistent with the organization's purpose and its usual activities or to identify themselves as campus groups (such as the Vanderbilt International Student Association). However, no organization is authorized to make any contractual commitments or binding statements on behalf of the University.
An organization may not use slogans or make statements that purport to speak for the University. For example, statements or slogans such as "Vanderbilt Backs Libertarians" may not be used by organizations unless they have been authorized to speak for the University. Published statements must carry the name of the responsible individual or organization. Unauthorized use or imitation of the official Vanderbilt stationery is prohibited.
Fraternities and sororities must register annually with the Office of Student Organizations The Greek Adviser assists with the registration and the coordination of their activities. The Greek Adviser is also a liaison between these student groups and the University and between the University and the national fraternity and sorority organizations. The Guide to the GreekCommunity, distributed annually as a supplement to the Student Handbook, explains how University regulations relate to these groups. This document can be obtained in the Greek Life office, 339 Sarratt. Fraternities and sororities must be members of the Interfraternity, Panhellenic, or National Pan-Hellenic Councils, which have governing responsibilities and disciplinary authority over their member groups. Disciplinary actions may be taken against fraternities and sororities by the Interfraternity Council (IFC), Panhellenic Council (Panhel), and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) judicial boards for violations of fraternity, sorority, or University policies. Violations of University policies may also fall under the jurisdiction of the Chair of the Conduct Council.
Membership. The IFC and Panhellenic Council administer the recruitment programs for their member groups. Freshman induction takes place early in the spring semester. Upperclass induction takes place in both the fall and spring semesters. Transfer students must be enrolled at Vanderbilt for one full semester (fall or spring) prior to pledging, or affiliating with, a Greek organization. NPHC organizations each administer their own recruitment programs.
The IFC, Panhellenic Council, and NPHC set a minimum academic requirement to join a Greek organization; however, some chapters have higher academic standards. To be eligible for fraternity or sorority membership, first-year students must have carried and passed twelve semester hours and achieved a cumulative GPA of 2.3. Transfer and upperclass students must have at least an overall 2.3 average. Advanced Placement credits are not applicable and summer school credits apply only for upperclass students.
Establishing Additional Fraternities and Sororities. Proposals for the establishment of additional fraternities and sororities may be made to or initiated by members of the Interfraternity, National Pan-Hellenic, or Panhellenic Councils. If approved by the appropriate council, the proposal is forwarded to the Greek Advisers for consideration. Upon the recommendations of the councils, the Greek Advisers, and the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee, the University may invite a national organization to colonize a new fraternity or sorority.
Advisers to Student Organizations
Campus organizations are required to have advisers. Assistance may be obtained from the Office of Student Organizations concerning financial responsibilities, interpretation of policies and procedures, and methods for obtaining a faculty or administrative adviser.
Advisers are available to counsel and advise officers and members of the organization regarding their responsibilities and to help oversee the activities and finances of the organization. The adviser is expected to be aware of the financial status of the organization to help ensure that the organization remains solvent. Advisers do not have the authority to prohibit the expression of editorial opinion by a campus publication.
Scheduling Activities
Registration of Meetings, Concerts, Lectures, and Special Events
University organizations are required to register all co-curricular programs and events (meetings, concerts, lectures) with the Office of Schedules and Reservations, 208 Sarratt Student Center (322-2448), at least five class days prior to the event. Registrants should be advised that completion of the registration process for major events (concerts, dances, etc.) may require as long as three weeks, and are further advised to consult the Student Organization Manual for complete procedures.
The University has established a priority system for events and a means to oversee the policy. These events in order of priority are:
1. University events (e.g., Commencement, Freshman Convocation). No other events may be scheduled during these times.
2. Primary events (e.g., Alumni Reunion, move-in weekend, the housing random selection process, Parents Weekend). Other events may be scheduled only with the approval of the coordinator of the primary event or the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
3. Campus events (all other co-curricular programs and activities). Scheduling conflicts will be resolved by the Events Registration Committee (208 Sarratt, 2-2448). Appeals of scheduling decisions regarding University, Primary, and Campus events may be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
Procedures for registering recurring regular meetings, as well as special events, concerts, and lectures, can be found in the Student Organizations Manual.
In addition, the following guidelines must be followed:
Vanderbilt registers and assumes responsibility only for those official overnight or out-of-town trips sponsored and directed by an administrative division of the University (e.g., the marching band). The University assumes no responsibility for events sponsored by groups such as sororities and fraternities. However, such organizations must-in advance of the trip-inform their advisers (the Greek advisers in the case of fraternities and sororities), and report information regarding out-of-town events to the Office of Schedules and Reservations.
Any student who wishes to travel on behalf of or as a representative of Vanderbilt University or any approved student organization must receive written authorization in advance from the appropriate dean. (See also the statement concerning Universal Waiver in University Policies and Regulations.)
Only registered organizations (or those with registration pending) may reserve the use of campus buildings and facilities. Reservations must be made in advance.
For nonacademic uses of most Vanderbilt facilities, reservations are made with the Office of Schedules and Reservations. Reservations for Dudley Field, VU Track, Memorial Gym, or McGugin Center are made with the Department of Athletics in McGugin Center.
A basic charge is made for most facilities. Some facilities are available for use by student organizations without charge; if, however, the facilities will require more than ordinary housekeeping services after use, the organization must pay for the additional service.
The responsibility for compliance with the foregoing regulations for social events lies with the sponsoring organization. Requests for exceptions should be made at the time of registration through the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
Sound Amplification and Noise
Functions or special events which require electronic sound amplification (for musical instruments, stereos, vocal performances, or public address) must be registered with the Events Registration Committee and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee. Electronic amplification may not be used in the vicinity of classroom buildings, the library, the hospital, or the apartments for family housing. Use of outside amplification at any event or function held in close proximity to the residence halls must involve consultation with the Office of Housing and Residential Education.
Sound amplifiers may not be positioned without authorization in such a way as to provide outside amplification (e.g., inside buildings or on porches).
Authorization for late evening concerts or events to be held outside and where campus-wide attendance is expected may be granted for Friday and Saturday nights, with the hours set at the discretion of the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee. Individual groups having parties primarily for the benefit of the group or at an informal rush function may be granted authorization for afternoon or twilight concerts or events, as appropriate. Outdoor amplification equipment may be used with activities such as late afternoon or early evening pep rallies, speak-out programs on Rand Terrace, twilight concerts, and carnivals, etc., so long as they do not interfere with scheduled academic or administrative activities.
Moderate sound amplification for informal listening on decks and patios of Greek houses and residence halls is permitted from 4pm to 8pm on Fridays, and noon to 8pm on Saturdays. The Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee may issue additional guidelines for activities routinely permitted without specific authorization, such as weekend music playing in fraternity row. These guidelines may be revised upon the recommendation of the Interfraternity or Panhellenic Councils, or other student representative groups, or upon the initiation of the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee.
Sound amplification-whether specifically authorized or informal, inside or outside-may be monitored by University officials, student representative groups, or IFC or Panhel representatives. Monitoring may include on-site inspections and the use of a decibel meter.
Students should be aware that local laws limit outside amplification to certain noise levels. Consideration should be given to the neighboring community to avoid complaints about noise disturbance.
Amplification which violates University policy or local ordinances may be discontinued at the discretion of the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee, or a representative of the Vice Chancellor (including officers with the University Police Department, or Assistant Vice Chancellor or directors in the Office of Housing and Residential Education).
Publicity, Promotion, and Advertising
Distribution of Notices in Campus Mail Boxes (See Services for Students, See Mail Services)
Display of Posters, Banners, and Printed Announcements
Notices that provide information regarding student activities or academic matters, or make announcements pertinent to the business of the University may be posted on campus. Commercial advertising matter and posters unrelated to the University are prohibited since advertising opportunity is provided in campus publications. Individuals who advertise services to students (e.g., typing or sale of books) may post small notices on bulletin boards.
Notices must carry the name of the responsible campus organization or department.
Notices, posters, flyers, banners, etc., may not use logos or trademarks of alcoholic beverages, or mention or refer to alcoholic beverages or their availability at an event. "B.Y.O.B.," as shorthand for "Bring Your Own Bottle," may be used on postings, etc., for events that have been registered B.Y.O.B. during the event registration process.
Nails, tacks, tape, or staples may not be used to attach posters to trees or buildings, but posters and banners may be tied to tree trunks with string. Stakes bearing signs may not be driven into the ground.
Bulletin boards at Alumni Hall, Rand Hall, Hill Student Center, Sarratt Student Center, and kiosks at Stevenson Center and Kissam Quadrangle may be used for poster display. Bulletin boards in classroom buildings, however, are reserved for announcements concerning academic programs. Notices may be attached to kiosks or bulletin boards with thumbtacks, but they may not be stapled or taped anywhere. Notices may not be posted on automobiles.
Student groups may place posters that measure no more than 36" by 48" on the posting boards attached to the exterior walls of Rand. Each organization is limited to one poster or flyer, regardless of size, on each board.
Permission to display banners in any residence hall must be obtained from the appropriate area Assistant Director for Housing and Residential Education. Permission to hang posters in the interior of Rand Hall must be obtained from the Director of Vanderbilt Dining.
Posters that are not removed within three days after the date of an event, will be removed by the University, and the person or organization responsible for them will be charged for their removal. Organizations will be held financially responsible for enforcing these policies with candidates for their respective offices. If an organization continually violates these policies, it may lose the privilege of posting notices or have its registration withdrawn. (See the Student Organization Manual for more specific information.)
Hand-Painted Signs and Banners
Hand-painted signs and banners should be made with acrylic latex house paint, which can be cleaned up with water. This paint will not dissolve in water or run, once dry. If a poster or banner stains the surface to which it is attached, the responsible student or organization will be charged for the stain removal.
Permission to paint designated windows in the dining or housing areas must be obtained from the Director of Vanderbilt Dining or the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing and Residential Education, respectively.
These regulations apply to the sale or distribution of goods and services and the solicitation for, promotion of, and advertising of any item, program, or service.
The following guidelines generally apply:
Student Organization Fundraising
Organizations that are registered with the Office of Student Organizations have a variety of options available to them for funding their organization and its programs. Before considering any of these options, an organization should:
The various options available to student organizations for funding are described in detail in the Student Organization Manual, but can be summarized as follows:
Students enrolled in Vanderbilt University pay a Student Activities Fee. The Student Finance Committee (SFC) makes annual allocations from these fees to registered student organizations that sponsor programs, projects and services that benefit the students who have paid the fees. Applications for a regular allocation are available in January, and are due to the Student Finance Committee at the end of February for funding in the following academic year. In general, programs must demonstrate a wide campus appeal and be available to all students (including graduate and professional students) free of charge or at a reduced rate, and must enhance the overall educational, social, and cultural climate available to all students.
Due to the nature of the Activities Fee's purpose, certain organizations and programs are ineligible for receiving regular activities fee allocations. Further, funds allocated by the Student Finance Committee are subject to some restrictions on their use. For more information on student organization eligibility and programming restrictions for activities fee money, consult the Student Organizations Manual, available from the Office of Student Organizations, 207 Sarratt.
If surplus funds are available after all regular allocations have been made, student organizations may be eligible to petition the Student Finance Committee for an allocation from the Contingency Fund. Funds allocated from the Contingency Fund must be used for the exact purposes for which they were proposed, and any funds remaining after the event or project is complete will revert to the Contingency Fund. Campus organizations registered with the Office of Student Organizations (except those classified as religious or political), may request funding as long as the following criteria are met:
1. The programming expenses must conform to the policies set forth for regular allocations.
2. The program for which funding is requested must demonstrate a wide campus appeal and be available to all students (including graduate and professional students) free of charge or at a reduced rate, and must enhance the overall educational, social, and cultural climate available to all students, or
3. be new or for a new organization, or
4. be for a newly identified or unforeseen need.
Co-Sponsorships or Department Allocations
Many student organizations and student programs can be subsidized by grants or allocations from academic or administrative departments. If the program or organization derives from an academic discipline (e.g., the Chemistry Majors Association) or complements the academic experience, the corresponding academic department is the best place to solicit funding. Many administrative departments may also be willing to supplement programs or services. To solicit their financial support, it is best to schedule an appointment with a member of that department to discuss partnerships which benefit both the organization and the department. For more information on co-sponsorships, consult the Student Organization Manual, available from the Office of Student Organizations, 207 Sarratt.
Dues, Ticket Sales, and On-campus Fundraisers
Registered student organizations are entitled to charge dues to their membership. Dues must be deposited in an organization's University account upon receipt. Registered groups may also charge admission to events, provided that the primary purpose of sales is to raise money for the benefit of the organization, or for the benefit of a charitable group, and not for the benefit of individual members of the organization. In accordance with Tennessee state law, students may not sell tickets for a raffle or lottery. Drawings for door prizes awarded to ticket-holding participants at an event are permitted.
No approval is required for the sale of tickets for admission, or for the sale of items for fund raising when the funds raised are solely for the organization or its charity and are deposited into the organization's University account. Students must make arrangements with the Coordinator of Schedules and Reservations to reserve a table or room to sell tickets or items. Students must also secure the approval of the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing and Residential Education in order to sell or deliver items door-to-door in the residence halls.
Sales and promotional activities must be conducted by members of the registered student organization. No organization may sponsor the sale of goods or services to students on behalf of a non-Vanderbilt commercial enterprise, except where the sales activity provides a value-added service during a traditional Vanderbilt event, such as Orientation, Homecoming, or Rites of Spring. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Vice Chancellor of Student Life or his designee.
For information regarding other on-campus sources of funding, consult the Student Organization Manual, available from the Office of Student Organizations, 207 Sarratt.
If an organization has exhausted all other sources of funds on campus, it may be possible to solicit funds from sources off campus. Funds can be obtained in several ways: through solicitation of parents and alumni, solicitation of area merchants and large corporations, and invitations for co-sponsorship or gifts in kind from businesses.
Guidelines for Soliciting Parents and Alumni
The Office of Institutional Advancement maintains some historical records of student organization membership, and may be able to provide a student organization with mailing labels of the organization's alumni. To obtain a set of labels, a group may call the Office of Institutional Advancement, at 322-2929 to determine if there is a list of its organization's alumni. If so, the group may obtain written approval from its student organization adviser, and provide this approval letter and a copy of its solicitation letter to Office of Institutional Advancement for review. If the purpose of the solicitation and the letter's content are approved, labels will be provided.
If the organization or program is relatively new, does not meet criteria for funding from other sources, or does not have alumni labels available to it, the organization may solicit parents and alumni for contributions. Before beginning a campaign, student organization leaders must submit a one-page summary of the program or project's mission and budget to the Office of Student Organizations. If all other funding options have been exhausted, and the program is consistent with the organization's goals and compliments the University's mission, the Office of Student Organizations will refer the proposal in writing to the Office of Institutional Advancement for assistance. Pending their review, the Office of Institutional Advancement will assist student organizations with approved proposals.
Guidelines for Solicitation of Area Merchants and Corporate Sponsors
Area merchants and corporations can contribute to student organization endeavors in two ways: by a simple donation of money, items, or merchandise, or by a donation of money, items or merchandise in return for some recognition, an arrangement sometimes known as co-sponsorship.
1. An organization that plans to solicit an area merchant or corporation for a simple donation or gift with a value of less than $1000 must notify the Office of Student Organizations in writing of its plans and instruct donors to send contributions to the Office of Gift Records (201 Alumni Hall, Nashville, TN 37203-9977).
2. An organization that plans to solicit an area merchant or corporation for a simple donation or gift with a value greater than $1000 must secure authorization from the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations, 322-2741 and instruct donors to send contributions to the Office of Gift Records.
3. Before an organization invites an area merchant or corporation to "co-sponsor" an event by contributing any amount, it must receive authorization from the Office of Student Organizations. Generally, student groups may acknowledge the assistance or contribution of co-sponsoring merchants or corporations in programs, banners, displays, or event memorabilia (party favors, T-shirts, caps, etc.). Sponsorship is the passive listing of the name or logo of a sponsor tastefully displayed on a T-shirt or banner, or listed among sponsors in a program. (It is not intended to solicit business. It simply acknowledges the support of the team, the event, etc. The Division of Student Life does not endorse advertisements for off-campus businesses, such advertisements being those that are designed to bring more business to the off-campus concern.) Student groups may not permit co-sponsoring merchants or corporations to conduct sales or sales promotion, or distribute free samples in conjunction with any student organization program or event, unless the sales promotion activity provides a value-added service during a traditional Vanderbilt event, such as Orientation, Homecoming or Rites of Spring. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing and Residential Education. Co-sponsorships by alcoholic beverage or tobacco brands or distributors are prohibited.
As is the case with student organization and departmental co-sponsors, groups are strongly recommended to develop a written co-sponsorship agreement with external co-sponsors. Written agreements should list time and date of program, the agreed-upon responsibilities of all co-sponsoring parties, and the required signatures of all co-sponsoring parties. Sample agreements can be obtained in the Office of Student Activities once co-sponsorship plans are approved. It is not necessary for co-sponsoring agencies to send contributions to Gift Records.
Many private and corporate foundations and federal agencies have funds or grants available for organizations seeking funding for educational or service programs. Grant writing requires a great deal of research, but can yield positive results. The Office of Sponsored Research (322-2631) is a good resource for additional information.
Student organizations, including fraternities and sororities, may solicit the student body for charitable purposes. The following guidelines apply:
Violations of these policies will subject the officers of the organization to disciplinary action by the Conduct Council, and the organization may also lose its registration. Organizations failing to distribute at least 85 percent to the charity may be required to make up the difference from other organization funds.
Requests for exceptions to these guidelines should be made in writing to the Office Housing and Residential Education at least two weeks before the solicitation.
The Office of Student Organizations has responsibility for enforcing these policies and prescribing the conduct of those who participate in charitable solicitation. It is the responsibility of the individual student or organization doing the solicitation to comply with these policies and the prescribed conduct. Student organizations soliciting for charitable purposes will be required to comply with state and local laws regulating charitable solicitations.
Vanderbilt University Charitable Giving Policy
As a not-for-profit educational institution, Vanderbilt University seeks and receives the support of the community through its delivery of health care, its athletic programs, its participation in the commercial real estate market, and its status as a corporate citizen, as well as in other ways.
Nashville has a strong tradition of charitable fundraising and a tradition of generous participation in charitable dinners by the corporate community. Although Vanderbilt University raises funds in the Nashville community for its own academic and research programs, it actively participates in this tradition both through in-kind contributions to community services, particularly in those areas that are related to Vanderbilt's mission, such as education, and in occasional instances through financial contributions to fundraising events.
Charitable donations in lieu of sending flowers in memory of the bereaved may be made by the University if the donation does not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00).
All contributions will be made in the name of Vanderbilt University and Medical Center.
Soliciting for Religious Activities
The Director of Religious Affairs coordinates religious activities. Student religious groups, after being registered by the Office of Student Organizations, will be assisted by the Office of the University Chaplain and Affiliated Ministries in fulfilling their aims insofar as these are consistent with other University policies.
Campus religious groups must be registered, and registered religious groups must have faculty advisers. Representatives of off-campus organizations may be invited onto the campus for specific purposes, but these representatives may not interfere with the self-determination of the group. Representatives of religious organizations may visit residence hall rooms only with the prior invitation of the resident students of those rooms.
Off-campus representatives of religious organizations may meet with groups on campus and assist them in fulfilling their aims (when these are consistent with procedures established in this section of the Student Handbook) only after securing the written permission of the Director of Religious Affairs. This permission may include a letter of introduction to the University provided by the Director of Religious Affairs and will specify procedures to be followed. The Director of Religious Affairs will assist in providing meeting places.
Solicitation for religious purposes by on- or off-campus groups or individuals is governed by the same regulations stated in the sections See Publicity, Promotion, and Advertising and See Student Organization Fundraising. For further information concerning religious solicitation, students should consult the Office of the University Chaplain.
Student employment representatives who wish to recruit students for jobs must register with the Career Center, 110 Alumni Hall, 322-2750. Arrangements must be cleared in advance and specific procedures must be followed.
Recruiting organizations must obtain permission from the Career Center to post bulletin board notices of jobs or related meetings. Notices must state clearly the organization, product, or service involved, and the job to be done. Notices may not be posted on automobiles or distributed in the residence halls. Any recruitment or related presentations must be scheduled well in advance with the Career Center and may not be conducted in residence halls. Failure to comply will prohibit future recruiting activities by the offending organization.
Vanderbilt Community Creed
Individuals who join the Vanderbilt University community embark on a lifelong journey toward greater intellectual enlightenment and personal growth. Those who aspire to this purpose share an obligation to honor the principles that define Vanderbilt. The University's enduring tradition of excellence is preserved when the community is united by a common set of values:
SCHOLARSHIP is the pursuit of knowledge in an environment of academic freedom. Members of our community engage in a partnership of learning in which the exploration of ideas is encouraged and protected.
HONESTY is a commitment to refrain from lying, cheating, and stealing. Recognizing that dishonesty undermines community trust, stifles the spirit of scholarship, and threatens a safe environment, we expect ourselves to be truthful in academic endeavors, in relationships with others, and in pursuit of personal development.
CIVILITY is the genuine respect for the rights of others. We value constructive disagreement and are mindful of the potential impact of our words and actions.
ACCOUNTABILITY is taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences. We accept the duty to actively participate in the decisions that affect our academic and personal lives, and we honor our commitments to ourselves and to others.
CARING is the concern for the well-being and dignity of others. We are dedicated to supporting one another within our community. We make a lifelong commitment to channeling service, knowledge, and experience toward the betterment of humanity.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
The U.N. World Intellectual Property Organization's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights Committee meets this week to discuss the latest redraft of the contentious new Broadcasting Treaty. The treaty would give broadcasters, cablecasters, and potentially webcasters, broad new 50 year rights to control transmissions over the Internet, irrespective of the copyright status of the transmitted material. It also requires countries to provide legal protection for broadcaster technological protection measures that will require Broadcast Flag-like technology mandates.
The first meeting of WIPO's Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a Development Agenda (PCDA) has just ended, amidst a last-minute flurry of activity. The question on everyone's mind is where to from here? The answer is not so clear.
After four days of discussions about interesting proposals from Chile, the Africa Group, Colombia, the United States of America and the 15 countries in the Group of Friends of Development, late yesterday the Chair asked countries to "cluster" the 50-or-so proposals currently on the table under five headings, with the goal of shaping discussions at the next PCDA meeting on June 26-30. That meeting must produce recommendations on a Development Agenda for the WIPO General Assembly.
In the afternoon of Day 2 of the WIPO Provisional Committee on Proposals Related to a Development Agenda we finally got down to business: discussing Chile's thoughtful proposal on the Public Domain. Chile had actually put forward three suggestions, but it was the proposal for WIPO to undertake a study of the value of "a rich and accessible public domain" that drew comments from a slew of Member States, the Committee Chair and public interest non-governmental organizations. And rightly so. As Chile's proposal notes, the public domain is essential for ensuring access to knowledge, and provides the foundation for technological innovation.
The first meeting of the newly-created WIPO Provisional Committee for Proposals Related to a Development Agenda (PCDA) started yesterday, and runs until February 24. The PCDA is tasked with reviewing the 50 or so proposals put forward by WIPO member countries and coming up with concrete action proposals for the September 2006 General Assembly. No easy task indeed.
And then there's the politically-charged atmosphere. The meeting began almost three hours late after intense negotiations to elect a Chair that was acceptable to all countries. But when talks finally got underway in the afternoon, and countries presented their new proposals, the real issue at stake here - how to create intellectual property laws that protect human rights like access to knowledge and medicine - took center stage.
The UN's World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has just finished another round of deliberations on a new treaty. Although the draft treaty is nominally about Broadcasters' rights, most of the discussion focused on proposals to create new rights over Internet transmissions: the US's proposal to extend the treaty to "webcasting", and the European Union's pitch for "simulcasting" rights, covering retransmission of broadcasts and cablecasts over the Internet.

An allegiance is a duty of fidelity said to be owed by a subject or a citizen to his/her state or sovereign.
In that sense it represents the feudal liege homage, which could be due only to one lord, while simple homage might be due to every lord under whom the person in question held land.
Allegiance is the tie which binds the subject to the Sovereign in return for that protection which the Sovereign affords the subject. It was the mutual bond and obligation between monarch and subjects, whereby subjects are called his liege subjects, because they are bound to obey and serve him; and he is called their liege lord, because he should maintain and defend them (Ex parte Anderson (1861) 3 El & El 487; 121 ER 525; China Navigation Co v Attorney-General (1932) 48 TLR 375; Attorney-General v Nissan [1969] 1 All ER 629; Oppenheimer v Cattermole [1972] 3 All ER 1106). The duty of the Crown towards its subjects is to govern and protect. The reciprocal duty of the subject towards the Crown is that of allegiance.
At common law allegiance is a true and faithful obedience of the subject due to his Sovereign. As the subject owes to his king his true and faithful allegiance and obedience, so the Sovereign is to govern and protect his subjects, regere et protegere subdititos suos, so as between the Sovereign and subject there is:
Natural allegiance and obedience is an incident inseparable to every subject, for as soon as the Sovereign is born, they owe allegiance and obedience (Ex parte Anderson (1861) 3 El & El 487; 121 ER 525). Natural-born subjects owe allegiance wherever they may be. Where territory is occupied in the course of hostilities by an enemy's force, even if the annexation of the occupied country is proclaimed by the enemy, there can be no change of allegiance during the progress of hostilities on the part of a citizen of the occupied country (R v Vermaak (1900) 21 NLR 204 (South Africa)).
Allegiance is owed both to the Sovereign as a natural person and to the Sovereign in the political capacity (Re Stepney Election Petition, Isaacson v Durant (1886) 17 QBD 54 (per Lord Coleridge CJ)). Attachment to the person of the reigning Sovereign is not sufficient. Loyalty requires affection also to the office of the Sovereign, attachment to royalty, attachment to the law and to the constitution of the realm, and he who would, by force or by fraud, endeavour to prostrate that law and constitution, though he may retain his affection for its head, can boast but an imperfect and spurious species of loyalty (R v O'Connell (1844) 7 ILR 261).
There were four kinds of allegiances (Rittson v Stordy (1855) 3 Sm & G 230; De Geer v Stone (1882) 22 Ch D 243; Isaacson v Durant (1886) 54 LT 684; Gibson, Gavin v Gibson [1913] 3 KB 379; Joyce v DPP [1946] AC 347; Collingwood v Pace (1661) O Bridg 410; Lane v Bennett (1836) 1 M & W 70; Lyons Corp v East India Co (1836) 1 Moo PCC 175; Birtwhistle v Vardill (1840) 7 Cl & Fin 895; R v Lopez, R v Sattler (1858) Dears & B 525; Ex p Brown (1864) 5 B & S 280);
(a) Ligeantia naturalis, absoluta, pura et indefinita, and this originally is due by nature and birthright, and is called alta ligeantia, and those that owe this are called subditus natus;
(b) Ligeantia acquisita, not by nature but by acquisition or denization, being called a denizen, or rather denizon, because they are subditus datus;
(c) Ligeantia localis, by operation of law, when a friendly alien enters the country, because so long as they are in the country they are within the Sovereign's protection, therefore they owe the Sovereign a local obedience or allegiance (R v Cowle (1759) 2 Burr 834; Low v Routledge (1865) 1 Ch App 42; Re Johnson, Roberts v Attorney-General [1903] 1 Ch 821; Tingley v Muller [1917] 2 Ch 144; Rodriguez v Speyer [1919] AC 59; Johnstone v Pedlar [1921] 2 AC 262; R v Tucker (1694) Show Parl Cas 186; R v Keyn (1876) 2 Ex D 63; Re Stepney Election Petn, Isaacson v Durant (1886) 17 QBD 54);
(d) A legal obedience, where a particular law requires the taking of an oath of allegiance by subject or alien alike.
Natural allegiance was acquired by birth within the Sovereign's dominions (except for the issue of diplomats or of invading forces or of an alien in enemy occupied territory). The natural allegiance and obedience is an incident inseparable to every subject, for as soon as they are born they owe by birthright allegiance and obedience to the Sovereign (Ex p. Anderson (1861) 3 E & E 487). A natural-born subject owes allegiance wherever they may be, so that where territory is occupied in the course of hostilities by an enemy's force, even if the annexation of the occupied country is proclaimed by the enemy, there can be no change of allegiance during the progress of hostilities on the part of a citizen of the occupied country (R v Vermaak (1900) 21 NLR 204 (South Africa)).
Acquired allegiance was acquired by naturalisation or denization. Denization, or ligeantia acquisita, appears to be threefold (Thomas v Sorrel (1673) 3 Keb 143);
Local allegiance was due by an alien while in the protection of the Crown. All friendly resident aliens incurred all the obligations of subjects (The Angelique (1801) 3 Ch Rob App 7). An alien, coming into a colony also became, temporarily a subject of the Crown, and acquired rights both within and beyond the colony, and these latter rights could not be affected by the laws of that colony (Routledge v Low (1868) LR 3 HL 100; 37 LJ Ch 454; 18 LT 874; 16 WR 1081, HL; Reid v Maxwell (1886) 2 TLR 790; Falcon v Famous Players Film Co [1926] 2 KB 474).
A resident alien owed allegiance even when the protection of the Crown was withdrawn owing to the occupation of an enemy, because the absence of the Crown's protection was temporary and involuntary (de Jager v Attorney-Geneneral of Natal [1907] AC 326).
Legal allegiance was due when an alien took an oath of allegiance required for a particular office under the Crown.
By the Naturalization Act 1870, it was made possible for British subjects to renounce their nationality and allegiance, and the ways in which that nationality is lost are defined. So British subjects voluntarily naturalized in a foreign state are deemed aliens from the time of such naturalization, unless, in the case of persons naturalized before the passing of the act, they have declared their desire to remain British subjects within two years from the passing of the act. Persons who from having been born within British territory are British subjects, but who at birth became under the law of any foreign state subjects of such state, and also persons who though born abroad are British subjects by reason of parentage, may by declarations of alienage get rid of British nationality. Emigration to an uncivilized country leaves British nationality unaffected: indeed the right claimed by all states to follow with their authority their subjects so emigrating is one of the usual and recognized means of colonial expansion.

Samantha Crawford is living a storybook life: she's happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she's told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband Billy is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. As Sam watches "Papa" Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life's circumstances, the love of God is always reaching out to us.

College President
Grant H. Cornwell
Since taking office in 2007, President Grant Cornwell and his administrative team have worked tirelessly to move The College of Wooster forward, with notable success.
This year, the College received more than 5,500 applications for admission, setting a new record for the third year in a row. In fact, the past six years have been the best six years for applications in Wooster's history. As more prospective students and their families discover Wooster, the College has increased its selectivity and strengthened its academic profile while enrolling a culturally and economically diverse student body. Almost two-thirds of this year's entering class were ranked in the top 20 percent of their high school class and almost one in five were eligible for Pell grants, the primary federal financial aid program for low-income students. In each of the past four years, U.S. multiethnic and international students together have comprised approximately a quarter of the entering class.
The 2014 Fiske Guide to Colleges has singled out Wooster as one of just 20 private and 21 public colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. that the editors deem a "best buy" based on the combination of "quality academic offerings and affordable cost."
Guided by a new strategic plan developed under Cornwell's leadership, Wooster has made strategic investments in its mission and its vision for the future. This focused approach to strategic planning as an on-going process was one of the factors, along with a strong balance sheet and seasoned leadership team, cited by Moody's Investors Service in May 2012 when they reaffirmed the College's A1 credit rating and stable outlook.
In 2012 alone the college opened the Scot Center, a magnificent, Gold LEED-certified student recreation and fitness facility, and renovated of a portion of Andrews Library to create CoRE, the Collaborative Research Environment. The name not only defines the mission of the space, it also proclaims that collaborative research is at the core of what Wooster is: America's premier college for mentored undergraduate research.
The College also has launched a new, integrated model for student academic and career advising, planning, and experiential learning, called APEX, in newly renovated space in Gault Library. One aspect of this new initiative is the APEX Fellowship program, in which students develop proposals and compete for College funding for internships, entrepreneurial endeavors, social justice externships, and research opportunities.
Nationally recognized for his work in defining liberal learning in a global environment, Cornwell serves on the Council on Foreign Relations' Global Literacy Advisory Board. He chairs the Great Lakes Colleges Association's board of directors, serves as president of the North Coast Athletic Conference, and is a member of the board of directors of the Association of American Colleges and Universities.
Cornwell served as vice president of the university and dean of academic affairs at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., for five years before coming to Wooster. He holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy and biology from St. Lawrence, and a master's degree and doctorate in philosophy from the University of Chicago.

Santy was my sensei and a mentor to me. He was a fine character actor. After getting my black belt from him in 1965 I left the area and traveled for 45 years. Yesterday i got nostalgic and decided to look Santy up only to find to my dismay he died 30 years ago. What a shock! Do you know him and what happened to him? What did he die from? He was only 41 years old FGS!

Amazing FLL solution
Notice that all attachments are changed autonomously by the robot!
NXT related questions.
1) What kind of resources will there be for students to be able attempt this level of sophistication using the NXT?
2) What's the best process to put in place to get students to come up with these types of solutions? Should they be taught to reverse engineer a complete solution or should instruction be limited to component design fundamentals?
I'm a first year coach with a rookie team and now that the season is over, I'd like to help the kids explore what areas to improve on.

That was GREAT!!
What surprised me was that they chose to do the pizza molecules 2nd to last... most teams I've watched choose to do that one first. Their solutions to the elevator and spring table were very nice, too.
This is also a great video because it shows that the RCX is still fully able to compete against the NXT - this should provide encouragement to those teams using the RCX and wondering if the NXT provides an edge.

They used magnets so that the robot could change it's own attachments. That first mission (dirt trap) had a wind up motor attachment that was magneticaly attached to the robot, when the wind up motor grabbed (and activated) the robot backed away and the magnets were forced apart. Also when the robot comes back to base, the magnets allow some variation on the robots placement, or the placement of the attachment. It was really incredible how they did it all with only one program (except for when they do the other teams side of the elevator).
Geeks can fly!

Wow, that's amazing! I can't believe they did that!
Jim, we also do the pizza molecules last - along with the atom manipulation mission.
Man, what a shame those guys aren't going to Atlanta.

Way to go RCX users! I found myself laughing out loud and screaming go!
No trip to Atlanta? Why not? It's not that far.

"For what it's worth, the Flying Geeks had straight "Excellent" scores on our project judging. What killed us this year was the Teamwork judging. I also think that there were a lot of really good research projects this year, so having all Excellent scores might have put us in the top 10 or 20 teams, not necessarily high enough for directors." Taken from the forum!

We do the pizza molecules last as we find it interferes with other missions.

Arsenal winger Gervinho is expected to be out for around three weeks with an ankle problem, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on Thursday morning.
The Ivory Coast international had to be substituted following an awkward fall after coming on during the second half of last weekend's 1-0 win over QPR at Emirates Stadium.
"Compared to last week Gervinho is of course out, for we think three weeks," he said.

WHITESBURG, Kentucky (AP) — The U.S. Geological Survey is reporting that an earthquake centered in Kentucky also rattled other nearby states.
The USGS website says the epicenter of the 4.3 magnitude earthquake on Saturday afternoon was about 10 miles (16 kilometers) west of Whitesburg. Residents in nearby Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio and Georgia also reported feeling the temblor.
National Weather Service spokesman Jeff Carico says employees at the office in Jackson, which is about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northwest of Whitesburg, felt the ground shake for about 15 seconds. He says the office has gotten numerous calls, but so far no one has reported any serious damage.
USGS geophysicist John Bellini says the quake is considered "light" and isn't expected to cause major damage.
This better not ruin my trip in two weeks. (<--A joke.) I hope it doesn't escalate, and become anything more.

Ottawa Senators (36-31-14) at Pittsburgh Penguins (51-24-6), 7:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Metropolitan Division-champion Pittsburgh Penguins will close out their regular season on Sunday night in a home matchup with the Ottawa Senators.
The Penguins will head into the postseason as the second seed and will have home-ice advantage against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Pittsburgh was coming off back-to-back shootout wins before suffering a 4-3 loss in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Defenseman Kris Letang scored on a backhander with 36.8 seconds left in regulation, but the Flyers won it on Mark Streit's goal with 2:50 to play in overtime.
James Neal totaled a goal and two assists for the Penguins, while Jussi Jokinen also tallied. Marc-Andre Fleury ended up with only 17 saves in defeat.
With nothing on the line, the Penguins sat defenseman Brooks Orpik and forward Chris Kunitz. Several skaters also could get a rest tonight, though captain Sidney Crosby still wants his team to focus on playing a good game.
"I think just to follow up this performance from today. As a whole, we want to feel good about our game," Crosby said of today's finale. "I think there were some things from today that I think were good. For a game that doesn't move us anywhere, it didn't have a lot of bearing on us, we came with the right attitude, the right mindset."
Letang, meanwhile, scored his first goal since Jan. 23 in his second game since returning from a 10-week absence while recovering from a stroke.
"I'm just trying to get back into it," Letang said. "The result is disappointing, but I think we played a good game overall. I think if we go into the playoffs that way, we're going to win games."
The Senators will not be going into the playoffs, but can end the campaign with a season-high fifth straight victory. They matched their previous best of four consecutive wins with Saturday's 1-0 decision over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Craig Anderson stopped 28 shots for his fourth shutout of the season and 26th of his career.
Jason Spezza had the only goal of the game, blasting a one-timer into the net during a second-period power play for his 23rd goal of the season.
"We're playing games that don't mean much in the standings as far as getting us into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which is what it's all about," said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. "But at the same time, finishing our home schedule like we are is way better."
Ottawa wrapped the campaign with an 18-17-6 record at home. The Sens are 18-14-8 on the road.
The Senators have lost four of their previous five meetings with the Penguins as well as five of their past six trips to Pittsburgh.

Rice may contain measurable levels of arsenic -- a carcinogen -- but according to the Food and Drug Administration, consumers need not worry about their immediate health after eating rice and related products.
The FDA's new guidance, released Sept. 6 for consumers, however notes that the long-term health risks remain unclear. The agency said it needs to conduct more research to see if eating rice over time can raise risk for cancer and other health wies.
"These are the next steps," said Dr. Suzanne C. Fitzpatrick, senior advisor for toxicology at the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "To look at exposure levels, to analyze the risk, and determine how to minimize that risk for the overall safety of consumers, including vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women," she said.
Arsenic is a chemical that occurs naturally in the environment, and combines with other elements to come in tow forms: organic and inorganic. The chemical can occur naturally in soil, or be added to the environment through industrial processes like burning of wood and fuel, or through use of pesticides. Arsenic can't be destroyed, so wind may send particles into the air, water and land -- and subsequently into our food and water supplies.
Inorganic arsenic is the more toxic form of the chemical. Prolonged exposure has been linked to increased risk for cancers, but also other health issues including heart disease, diabetes and neurological deficits.
Previous research - including studies from Dartmouth University and Consumer Reports -- found concerning levels of inorganic arsenic linked to rice, and rice products like infant formula and cereal bars.
The FDA decided to conduct its own tests of more than 1,300 samples of rice and related products, and determined the levels of "inorganic arsenic" were too low to cause immediate health damage.

The timeliness of a background investigation depends on the type of investigation conducted. Depending on the type of background investigation, the scope of the investigation may require coverage for specific items.
The need for a security clearance may affect the time period in which an investigation is completed. Each background investigation requires that certain areas are covered before an investigation is completed.
Each agency to which a person applies is responsible for making the appropriate access, fitness, suitability, and/or clearance determination. Therefore, it will be up to the hiring agency to evaluate financial considerations when making an adjudicative determination.
When evaluating financial issues, consideration is likely to be given to whether the circumstances surrounding the matter raise a question about an individual's reliability or integrity. For example, conditions that suggest an individual is not willing to pay just debts or is living beyond his or her means would be of concern. During the adjudication process, generally, an evaluation is made on a number of variables about the person's life over a sufficient period of time, and an examination of information, both favorable and unfavorable, occurs to reach a determination.
If asked on any Federal application or background investigation documents, financial- and court-related matters are required to be reported.

Many of you long-time vegans have helped educate me about oils and how we really don't need them in our diet. Does this include canola, olive and coconut oils even though they are generally thought to be heart-healthy?
I've been experimenting with making nut butters and usually the home-made kinds call for 2 Tbsp. of olive oil or canola...what could I substitute for that? Also when making it in the blender, it often comes out more liquidy or pudding-ish than I'd like (I'm wanting it to turn out more like a spread I could use, like for toast or biscuits.)
Also, curious to know, is it myth largely...that nuts are bad because of all the fat? This makes me nervous...I tend to gain a lot of fat especially in mmy abdomen area but maybe this was more because of all the processed cakes and junk I was eating before.
What in your opinion are the healthiest tree nuts? ( cashews, allmonds, um...coconut?)
I've never tried making nut butters at home. I bought some peanut butter from Harry's - the kind that you grind right there in the store. I was surprised that it was more like a pudding vs the spread. I still used it for PB&J though. I'm anxious to see the replies you receive.
We used to make peanut butter back in the late '80s-early '90s. We used a (I think) Salton nut grinder, actually shelling the nuts and all. Never added any oils at all since the nuts supplied plenty. As you grind, the heat makes for a very smooth product.Keeping the finished product in the refrigerator stops the oil from separating from the nut paste. I really don't understand the need to add any other oil. Hope this helps!
There is no need to add oil to nut butters, nuts have plenty of natural oil. If you store it at room temperature the oil will separate and float to the top of the container. You have to stir it to reincorporate it. If you want to make your nut butter low-fat, pour out that oil that accumulated at the top and replace it with water.
If you store it in the refrigerator it will prevent the oil from separating, but it will also make the peanut butter really stiff and hard to spread.
We have been storing natural peanut butter in the refrigerator for years. I never had a problem spreading it, nor the kids.
cloudschange wrote:
It also occurred to me that you might have poured off some of the oil? That has made a stiff spread- we didn't replace the oil with water.
Yep, that's probably true too. Less fat would make it stiffer.

Sharlene and I do a daily online quiz. You win points for speed as well as how many you get right and it's a good deal of fun. I'm not sure how we can do it here short of me setting up a quiz league like the one we are already in and I'm not sure that would work.
So the following is just for fun. It's not a competition. I'll post a new set of questions each day and you can answer them any way you like. I'll post the answers the following day.
The quiz has several different topics - some are much harder than others. Some are ridiculously easy.
There are no prizes and I'm not keeping any scores - just see how well you do.
Beware - these questions are submitted by the general public and sometimes contain mistakes. The answers I shall give will be the answers that are given for the quiz. I won't get into an argument about whether they are right or wrong.
