HanSoRi “T e making of sound together to create a beautiful harmony” is a rough English translation–and apt description–of Eastern’s HanSoRi Korean Traditional Percussion group. T ey employ two diff erent kinds of Korean traditional drums and gongs to play samul nori, a Korean folk music genre once used by farmers to increase their harvest. And while they may not increase harvests, their enthusiasm and that of their audiences indicate they are clearly creating “beautiful harmony.”

No mat er who wins, Outbreak: Eastern keeps excitement alive and well on
campus.Re- sponsibility explores ethical issues faced by everyday computer users and uses hands- on practice with a broad variety of online and computer productivity tools to sup- port socially responsible computer use.

Stoic Society If you think “stoic” means “apathetic,” you’ll change your defi nition to “strong” aſt er meeting EMU’s Stoic Society. Named aſt er the teachings of the Greek philosopher, Zeno, the oldest honorary organization on campus has enthusiastically been in engaging in local service commitments for nearly 103 years.
