Southeastern student designs poster for A Drum, A Drum
A design by Maria Justiniano, a native of Bolivia now residing in Folsom, was selected for the poster promoting A Drum, A Drum, an original musical produced by Hammond's Academic Center for the Visual and Performing Arts in connection with Ponchatoula's "Strawberry Jam'n Toast to the Arts Festival," scheduled next weekend.
     Justiniano, a junior graphic design major, is a student in Visual Arts instructor Karin Eberhardt's Art 261 (Digital Print 2) class. The class was contacted earlier this semester by Artie Fellom Gautier of the Academic Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, Hammond's magnet school.
     "I loved the idea of a service-learning project," said Eberhardt. "It gives students a good taste of the real world."
     A Drum, A Drum was performed May 3 at the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts. Thanks to support for the production from musician and physician Ted Hudspeth's Northshore Regional Endowment for the Arts, Gautier hopes to take the show on the road in the fall, touching every pre-K through third-grade student in parish.
     Justiniano's winning design was one of 21 submitted by students in Eberhardt's class who created designs for the poster. She said the assignment was perfect for her because she likes art associated with children and is fascinated by India, the setting for      . "I read the script and really liked the story," she added. She also researched the country and its artistic heritage.
Gautier said Justiniano's was selected because, "It was striking, it caught the eye with its vivid colors."
     "I love graphic design," said Justiniano, "I like to read every article I can find on the subject. It's my passion."
     
Organized by the Northshore Regional Endowment For the Arts, Strawberry Jam'n Toast to the Arts will feature more than 70 bands and performances on stages throughout downtown Ponchatoula. KSLU radio station will feature a Guitar Hero Stage and contest where anyone can "Jam at the Jam" and compete for prizes.

Books to buy list
Southeastern is pleased to be able to offer students a Textbook Rental Program, providing the opportunity to rent instead of buy required textbooks. This program provides an economical alternative to purchasing textbooks and saves students hundreds of dollars each semester. However, there are some courses that do require the purchase of supplemental books, including but not limited to, workbooks, manuals, special topic texts, etc.
     In an effort to ensure that students are aware as early as possible of the books that will need to be purchased, which will allow students to better prepare for that purchase, a listing of the books that students will need to purchase for the fall 2008 semester has been made available at www.selu.edu/books2buy. This list includes the necessary information to purchase the required book either through the Follett University Bookstore or some other source (course, section, title, author, and ISBN number). The list will be updated regularly.
