Civil War Era Newspaper Collection Now Available
March 9, 2010
VINCENNES, IND. - The Vincennes Civil War newspaper digitization project at VU's Lewis Historical Library is now available on the VU campus system, the Knox County Public Library, and area schools, according to an announcement from VU’s Lewis Historical Library. The database holds thousands of pages of newspapers from the Lewis Library newspaper collection.
It is available on the VU Libraries Find Articles page along with other library electronic resources and is titled: Vincennes Civil War Era Newspaper Collection, Accessible Archives (full text).
Lewis Library digitized newspapers include News of the Day (1855-56), Old Post Union (1862), Stars and Stripes and Old Post Union (1862), Vincennes Courant (1855-56), Vincennes Weekly Courant and Patriot (1855-56), Vincennes Gazette (1855-69), Weekly Vincennes Gazette (1857-59), The Vincennes Times (1865-66), and Vincennes Western Sun (1856-69).
The collection is an excellent source for student writing assignments about the period, genealogy research, and anyone interested in primary sources about the history of the area and the Civil War period.
Both text files and the original newspaper pages may be displayed. For more information or assistance, contact reference librarian Richard King, rking@vinu.edu.
For more information, please contact Duane Chattin, Director of Public Information, 812-888-4164 (office), 812-887-6397 (cell) or dchattin@vinu.edu
Student Government Association Receives U.S. Flag and certificates of appreciation from Operation Care at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan
The Vincennes University Student Government Association (SGA) is the recipient a U.S. Flag and certificates of appreciation from Operation Care at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. They were sent by U.S. Air Force Maj. Langdon Root, a Knox County native who until recently was a volunteer with Operation Care while he was stationed in Afghanistan. Langdon's sister, Precious Rhea (3rd from right in the first row) delivered the flag and certificates to the SGA. With the support of the community, the SGA donated 60 boxes that included 4,277 items ranging from clothing, toiletries, and school supplies. Quoting from the certificate, "Your humanitarian efforts have greatly improved the quality of the life for the people of Afghanistan and the future of their nation." Operation Care has distributed more than 60 tons of humanitarian supplies to thousands of needy Afghans. The U.S. Flag that the SGA received flew in combat over Afghanistan on Dec. 22, 2009, aboard a U.S. Air Force F-16C Viper 14 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
From left, Vincennes University Student Government Association President Lindy Martin receives a U.S. Flag from Precious Rhea in appreciation for the SGA's efforts to support Operation Care in Afghanistan, a voluntary humanitarian effort that Rhea's brother, U.S. Air Force Major Langdon Root, helped organize. VU was one of the leading U.S. campuses in sending humanitarian supplies to Operation Care.
The certificates, pictures and the flag from Operation Care will be on display in the Beckes Student Union Grand Hall.
VU Alumni Mixer is March 15

VINCENNES, IND. - Vincennes University alumni are invited to a mixer on March 15, 6:30 p.m. (EST), at the Vincennes Golf Club, 1364 N. Hillcrest Rd., Vincennes.

Drum Enchanted Evening is March 25 at VU
March 5, 2010
VINCENNES, IND. - The Vincennes University Department of Music will present “Drum Enchanted Evening” on March 25, 7:30 p.m. (EST), at the Red Skelton Performing Arts Center. The event is free and the public is invited to attend. The Skelton Center is located on the VU campus at 20 Red Skelton Blvd.
Under the direction of Professor Susie Jackson, the VU Percussion Ensemble featuring 14 percussionists will play a variety of traditional and innovative percussion instruments. The group will perform various musical styles including jazz/fusion, classical, and the more contemporary novelty tunes performed in the “stomp” style which involves the use of unique or unusual objects as percussion instruments combined with visual performance.
On March 27, the Department will host a Day of Percussion at the Skelton Center. The event will include clinics as well as performances by various percussion ensembles. Participating collegiate ensembles include Ball State University, Indiana State University, Purdue University, and Vincennes University. Dr. Marc Wooldridge, Indiana Wesleyan University, will be doing a clinic performance of four of his multimedia compositions that incorporate film, visual art, and aerial photography with live and recorded percussion. Dr. Erwin Mueller, Ball State University, will have a session on making and repairing mallets.
The featured clinician will be Dr. Elliot “Ellie” Mannette, recipient of the 1999 National Endowment for the Arts and a 2003 Percussive Arts Society (PAS) Hall of Fame inductee. Recognized by many as the “father of the modern steel drum,” Dr. Mannette has devoted his life to the development of the steel drum art form. He is also the founder of Mannette Steel Drums, Ltd., an instrument manufacturing company located in Morgantown, West Virginia. Steel drums, also known as “pans,” came into existence on the island of Trinidad around the time of World War II, and are considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument created in the 20th century. In 1946, Dr. Mannette was the first person to fashion his “pan” from the now-standard 55 gallon steel drum.
Dr. Mannette will present two sessions on the steel drum, one on the history of the instrument and the other on the construction and tuning.
The Day of Percussion is free, and the public is invited to attend. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. with ongoing performances and clinics beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending around 6:00 p.m. For information about the Day of Percussion, Prof. Jackson may be reached at 812-888-4435.
