| TRUNK: In the news, President Mugabe of Zimbabwe issued new regulations yesterday allowing government bond notes to be officially traded as currency. He hopes that this regulation will help ease the shortage of US dollars in the country following the hyper-inflation and subsequent demonetization of Zimbabwean Dollars over the past decade. Currently the country uses South African rand, Pounds Sterling, US Dollars, Euros, Botswanan Pula, Indian Rupees and others in a multi-currency basket. |
| SHESH: Want to be featured in Silver Chips? Submit a personal column of about 500 words to silverchipsprint@gmail.com for a chance to have your work published in their November issue! You don’t have to write anything new to submit; feel free to use any of your assignments from English class that showcase something unique about yourself! |
| TRUNK: Do you want to redesign a website to gain experience and earn SSL hours at the same time? The Indian Spring Citizens Association and Safe Silver Spring are looking for a student who is able to work on their website a few hours a week. If you are interested in this opportunity, please see Mrs. Hiscock in room 130 for contact information. |
| SHESH: If you’re just an SSL fiend, you can earn more hours by distributing food to those who need assistance! A new program called Arleeta’s Choice Pantry will be starting at Four Corners Mission and Outreach Center, located directly across from Blair High School at 33 University Blvd E. The program takes place Saturdays from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.

| SHESH: Linguists have studied bilinguals for a long time: people who speak English and Spanish or French and Arabic. But what about people who use not two spoken languages, but two sign languages? Dr. Deborah Chen Pickler from Gallaudet University says these individuals are the next big thing in linguistic research. See her explain why at Linguistics Club at 3:20-4:30 this Wednesday, November 2, in room 346. All are welcome! |
