A Weekly Look at the Cottey College CampusChronicle volume XXX, number 4, September 11, 2015
Saturday, September 19, 2015P.E.O. Visit Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 19. Approximately 80 P.E.O.s from multiple states are expected for this annual event! Our Golden Keys will be giving tours as well as hosting a lunch for our guests. Please help us make our visitors feel welcome on campus.
A campus open house is on the schedule for 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Please note P.E.O.s may be visiting public areas in the residence halls, including the suite common areas.
Headphone Disco is the surreal, insanely popular, and completely unforgettable silent party phenomenon that’s been rocking the world. Unfamiliar with the concept? Take a roomful of party people, give them all a set of specially made two-channel wireless headphones, and have two live DJs broadcast to them over two FM channels simultaneously. Watch as the crowd chooses their DJ with the flick of a switch, and then ‘get down’ to two completely different styles of music, at exactly the same time, to a soundtrack that only they can hear.
Headphone Disco All-Campus DanceSaturday, September 129:00 p.m. - 1 a.m.Hinkhouse Center
Since joining forces as a professional duo in 2009, internationally acclaimed solo pianists Eva-Maria Zimmermann and Keisuke Nakagoshi—ZOFO—have electrified audiences from Carnegie Hall to Tokyo, Japan, with their dazzling artistry and outside-the-box thematic programming for one piano—four hands. This Grammy-nominated, prize-winning Steinway artist ensemble—one of only a handful of duos worldwide devoted exclusively to piano duets—is blazing a bold new path for four hands groups by focusing on twentieth- and twenty-first century repertoire, and by commissioning new works from noted composers each year. ZOFO is shorthand for 20-finger orchestra (ZO=20 and FO=finger orchestra).

Spiritual Life & DiversityLast Saturday, September 5, Rev. Erica Sigauke, director of spiritual life and campus diversity, took a group of students to the Little Balkans Festival in Pittsburg, Kansas. Students had an opportunity to learn about the history of the immigrants who came to work in the mines and coal field that extended through Cherokee, Crawford, and Bourbon Counties, and the region of southeastern Europe known as the Balkans after the 1900. There were several activities including music, parades, food, and artifacts.

Did you know.... ?
Have you noticed that you feel better during exercise when you’ve had some caffeine? Research reported in the June issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2015; 47 [6], 1145-58) confirmed that caffeine can improve endurance exercise performance. Consuming a dose of 5 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight (about
2-3 cups of coffee, depending on your size and the type of coffee) before exercise seems to have the most benefit.
