United Way Fund Drive
Each of you will soon be receiving a United Way pamphlet through campus mail. It contains information on how the
United Way of the Northern Hills helps 28 organizations in the Belle Fourche, Deadwood, Lead, Spearfish, and
Whitewood communities provide assistance to those in need. A pledge form is included with the pamphlet. The back of
the pledge form contains the list of the local organizations who receive financial support from the United Way. If you wish to contribute, you have the option of paying directly, being invoiced, or selecting payroll deduction. Payroll
deductions will not begin until the January, 2016, payroll. If you wish, you may also designate where you would like
your donation to be applied. 100% of your contribution remains here! 85 cents of every dollar goes directly to those in
need! The goal for the Northern Hills region is $180,000. Last year’s goal was $170,000 and we barely met it. BHSU donations
totaled $9,696.00 last year. Only 55 of our over 400 employees were able to give. Hopefully, with your help we can
improve our combined contribution! Please return your pledge forms by October 31 to either: Scott Ahola, Mandie
Davis, Faye LaDuke‐Pelster, or Terry Hupp If you wish to take advantage of payroll deduction, please return both copies
of the pledge form. This is your opportunity to help make a difference in someone’s life who is less fortunate. Thank
you for your caring consideration!

Geek Speak: The Origins of Language
Oct. 29 | 4pm | Jonas
Please join us on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. in Jonas
110 for Dr. Andrey Reznikov's Geek Speak, "The Origins of Language." How did language begin? How did our ancestors
create their first words? The main difficulty with trying to answer that question is that there is very little evidence. If
paleontologists have fossils, so they can reconstruct the shape of a human skull, oral language leaves no fossils (and
writing is a relatively recent invention), so paleo linguists have nothing like that. It does not mean that we should not
even try to find an answer (as was the trend in the 19th century), but it does mean that most of our evidence is
circumstantial. This lecture will attempt to unravel some of the mysteries behind the origins of language.
