What is happiness? How about a cinnamon loaf?

Do baked goods truly represent the highest form of reality? Or do the delicious flavours simply lead us astray from true knowledge? If you ask yourself this question, you might find solace knowing that the Philosophy Student Union (PSU) is all for baked goods. They are holding a bake sale in the Clearihue lobby today.

If you have been feeling like tapping into your inner stoic, then you can also head to the SUB on Wednesday and Thursday (November 3) and participate in the clothing drive also being held by the PSU. All proceeds go to the PSU and various student-related groups.

“A Piece for Peace”

Freebie alert!

Where: Monday, November 8, 12:00-2:00 at the entrance tables in the SUB

What: The Jewish Student Association (JSA) and Israel on Campus (IOC) are giving away free pieces of cake in the SUB building. Why? Because the club seeks to bring together Jewish students and lovers of peace in a socially accepting atmosphere where things like peace and life can be discussed. Also, Irina wanted me to tell you to “come out to support a message for peace with cake, a button, and an info for a free (and inspirational) movie screening that evening.”

Also, these groups have a FREE BAGEL giveaway EVERY TUESDAY in the SUB! Come if you are interested in learning more about these clubs, or if you are interested in connecting with the Jewish community on campus.

Thanks Irina and Carrie for the scoop!

Free food . . . AND yoga!

Just saw someone putting up this sign on the University Centre wall . . .

That someone was Jenny, who runs the UVic Yoga club. If you go for the yoga, stay for the food!

If you are interested in the UVic Yoga club, but you can’t make it to the SUB tomorrow, you can email Jenny for more information: yoga@uvic.ca

UPDATE (Wednesday): If you can’t make it today, the yoga club is having a bake sale in the ECS main lobby tomorrow. Not free, but cheap baked goods! The proceeds are going to Kidsport, a local charity that provides extracurricular actitives to underprivileged children. Go support!
