3. 2006 University Senate Faculty Staff Survey
The University Senate is conducting another survey among the faculty and professional staff in order to determine priority concerns for the University. A similar survey was conducted in 2003, so we will be comparing results with the previous survey to determine changes in campus attitudes and perceptions. All responses are non-attributable, and are only summarized at the highest organizational level (e.g., College).
This year, the survey is available only on-line at
http://naples.cc.sunysb.edu/DoIT/senatesurvey.nsf/survey
Please take the time to respond. The survey should take only about 15-20 minutes to complete, and a high response rate will make the results more meaningful.

6. Popular Indian Film Series Kannathil Muthamittal (A Peck on the Cheek) Wednesday, April 19, 7:00 p.m., Wang Theater
A little girl's search for the biological mother who had abandoned her is brought out poignantly in this unabashed rhapsody of domestic bliss. Mani Ratnam yet again proves that he is at his best when tackling complex personal relationships within the backdrop of violent political strife. Amudha (P.S. Keerthana), adopted by Thiru (Madhavan) and Indira (Simran) and growing up with the couples two sons, is blissfully unaware of her parentage, till the couple decide to inform her of it on her ninth birthday. At first shocked into disbelief, Amudha then expresses her determination to search out for her biological mother. The search takes the family to strife-torn Sri Lanka, where Amudha comes face-to-face with the sordid reality of terror. A riveting story, lush cinematography, well-defined complex characters and the pulsating music of A.R.Rahman are signature elements of Mani Ratnams opus.
