You are about to start your journey as Longhorns and I couldn’t be prouder to welcome you to our family. This university is special. Your education here on the Forty Acres will change your lives in so many significant ways. You will be challenged in your classes and held to the highest academic standard, befitting our elite public university. You will make new friends who will enrich your lives, push you, support you, share new perspectives and form bonds with you that will last a lifetime. In orientation, you will learn many important things about how this university operates and where you fit in. This will include tidbits like why we call our 437-acre campus the “Forty Acres.” My advice is to absorb what you can, but to not let the abundance of information overwhelm you. You will find your place at UT in time. This big, somewhat intimidating place will become small and will feel like home in no time. You have proven throughout your academic career that you belong at a top university like ours. You had the wisdom to choose UT, and quite simply, talented students like you are the reason we are here in Austin, doing what we love to do. So, good luck with orientation, congratulations on joining the Longhorn family and Hook ’em Horns! Sincerely yours, Jay Hartzell UT Austin President Congratulations, Longhorn! We’re excited you’ve chosen to attend UT Austin, one of the nation’s biggest and best research universities. It’s your responsibility to make the most out of orientation, and to take advantage of this great opportunity to get to know your fellow Longhorns. I encourage you to do more than just attend the required sessions and programming. The goal of orientation is to ensure that both students and families begin the process of integrating themselves into the campus community. Get to know the resources that are available to you. Enjoy some discovery and find potential leadership opportunities by completing your HornsLink Interest Profile. The Division of Student Affairs, along with our academic partners, is here to help you succeed. Visit studentaffairs.utexas.edu/departments to learn about all the programs and services that we have available to you. Hook 'em, Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students SPRING ORIENTATION 1 ORIENTATION OVERVIEW GETTING THE MOST OUT OF ORIENTATION 1. Plan out your schedule ahead of time. See which programs are required — you can’t miss those! Carve out time to participate in online social activities and take a virtual campus tour if you’d like. Choose which Discover UT programs you’d like to attend. Having a plan will help you get the most out of your orientation session! 2. Find out what UT has to offer. Choose a few Discover UT programs that spark your interest. Browse through the more than 1,200 student orgs on HornsLink.org. You can also use the list of phone numbers and websites in the back of your guide to find out more about a particular department or program. 3. Make a friend. Exchange information with fellow orientation attendees. Knowing a few new faces will make UT Austin feel a lot smaller, and you may make a friend for life. PROTECT TEXAS TOGETHER: For the latest updates on COVID-19 and UT Austin campus updates, visit the Protect Texas Together Website. You may also view the dynamic map for campus student resources. Attend Spring Welcome Week: Jan. 12 - Jan. 19, 2021! The fun doesn’t stop after Spring Orientation! Join us for Spring Welcome Week, a series of virtual events and programs to welcome you to UT Austin and help you transition to your new university. See page 9 for more details.

ALL UT ROTC PROGRAMS IN JEOPARDY: ROTC BUILDING TO BE TORN DOWN THIS FALL WITH NO DEFINITIVE PLANS FOR FUTURE ROTC FACILITIES RAS Hall is scheduled for demolition beginning in September of this year, only six months from now. The College of Liberal Arts will erect a new multi-story building on the RAS property to accommodate the needs of that College, excluding the NROTC and other two ROTC programs. As of this moment, there is no definitive plan for a temporary relocation on campus for the NROTC. There have been discussions, negotiations, some promises made and some, as yet, unfulfilled but no definite plans are in place at this time for the near term relocation of the NROTC. Furthermore, no definitive plans are in place for the long term relocation of the NROTC on campus. Your Board of Directors is considerably concerned about this situation and wants to do what it can to insure that the Unit is timely provided adequate facilities to carry out its mission of educating and commissioning Navy and Marine Corps officers for the defense of our country. The Board wants to do what it can to continue the traditions of excellence established over the last seventy years by our Alumni. To assist you in fully understanding the situation, correspondence with President Powers and Provost Leslie is printed in full in this edition.

  • The Great Exodus: from The
    38 World Transformation Movement – The Great Exodus 16th century English parliamentarian and author Fulke Greville: ‘Oh wearisome Condition of Humanity! Borne under one Law, to another bound: Vainely begot, and yet forbidden vanity, Created sicke, commanded to be sound: What meaneth Nature by these diverse Lawes? Passion and Reason, selfe-division cause:’ (Mustapha, c, 1594–96). As emphasised, while a conflict between our instincts/ ‘passion’ and our intellect/ ‘reason’ has long been recognised in mythologies and in the writings of some exceptionally honest thinkers, it is only science’s discoveries in the last century about the different ways genes and nerves process information that at last allows us to answer Greville’s all-important question, ‘What meaneth Nature by these diverse Lawes?’—what caused the conflicting situation? Greville is right when he said there were ‘Lawes’ involved in the conflict and while these laws don’t explain the conflict they are relevant in understanding how extremely upset by the conflict between our instinct and intellect we humans became. To explain the involvement of ‘Lawes’ raises the next issue to be looked at of what was humans’ original instinctive orientation because, as mentioned, it obviously wasn’t to a flight path such as birds have. The answer to this question is that our instinctive self was perfectly orientated to the law of integrative, cooperative meaning, which means that when we became conscious and defied our instinctive orientation and became upset, namely angry, egocentric and alienated, that divisive response then attracted extra criticism from our particular instinctive orientation making us doubly upset.

Slembrouck Olga Berendeeva Master in de Taal- en Letterkunde Afstudeerrichting: Master Engels Academiejaar 2008-2009 2e examenperiode For My Parents Who are so far But always so close to me Мои родителям, Которые так далеко, Но всегда рядом ii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank Professor Dr. Stefaan Slembrouck for his interest in my work. I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.
