The Sound of One Hand Clapping

Every Friday GAM invites you to put the MOON ON YER SAIL with a free movie sailing around the intellectual world with us. This week's port is in a trailer by the Pacific Ocean where we learn what the sound of one hand clapping is. If you want to be a First Class Mate in GAM, this event counts as a big chunk of points toward a raise in rank and as your alternative initiation.

GAM's premier initiation is reading Atlas Shrugged, to earn a jump in rank, first class membership and full privileges, writing a one-page reflection on it, and answering questions regarding it satisfactorily to the Captain or Captain's designees. The alternative is a lot easier.

Moon On The Sail this week is an abbreviated event; the movie is only 50 minutes. It's part of GAM's alternative initiation. So instead of the book Atlas Shrugged, you watch the coolest detective ever (who looks like Judge Gregorek's dad), then chat a bit, introduce yourself, and take home a crossword puzzle to solve.

If you are in GAM, and you ought to be; then this is your chance to complete your initiation. It's free. Our new t-shirts are on the way, and more. So make plans to join us. Invite your friends. Anyone can join and get initiated this day. Find yer way this Friday, Feb 25th, to the Career Services Floor, 16 West 61st St., Room 623, at 2:30-5p.

A club is as fun as you make it. Hang around without focus in the hallways (good practice for being a bum), or rally your friends to do cool events that get you prizes, awards and goodwill (aka be genuinely popular!).

Join us for movies every Friday 2:30-5p, and put the Moon On Yer Sail.

GAM BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH GLORY

In celebration of Black History Month, students of all different races, ages, genders and clubs gathered around at Moon On The Sail to watch Glory. The movie is about the 54^th Regiment who revolutionized the way African American slaves and soldiers were viewed. The 54^th Regiment demonstrated extraordinary bravery and dignity, which impelled the Union to change their rules, regulations, and hearts to let African Americans serve in the Union army. In this month we celebrate the 180,000 African Americans who turned the tide of the Civil War. The diversity of the people who participated in this event, including both GAM and the UN Team, is a tribute to those men who gave up there lives to defend what is important to us all--liberty.
