TRADINGCITIES

Proceeding eighty miles into the northwest wind, you reach the city of Euphemia, where the merchants of seven nations gather at every solstice and equinox. �e boat that lands there with a cargo of ginger and cotton will set sail again, its hold filled with pistachio nuts and poppy seeds, and the caravan that has just unloaded sacks of nutmegs and raisins is already cramming its saddlebags with bolts of golden muslin for the return journey. But what drives men to travel up rivers and cross deserts to come here is not only the exchange of wares, which you could find, everywhere the same, in all the bazaars inside and outside the Great Khan’s empire, scattered at your feet on the same yellow mats, in the shade of the same awnings protecting them from the flies, offered with the same lying reduction in prices. You do not come to Euphemia only to buy and sell, but also

because at night, by the fires all around the market, seated on sacks or barrels or stretched out on piles of carpets, at each word that one man says—such as “wolf,” “sister,” “hidden treasure,” “battle,” “scabies,” “lovers”—the others tell, each one, his tale of wolves, sisters, treasures, scabies, lovers, battles. And you know that in the long journey ahead of you, when to keep awake against the camel’s swaying or the junk’s rocking, you start summoning up your memories one by one, your wolf will have become another wolf, your sister a different sister, your battle other battles, on your return from Euphemia, the city where memory is traded at every solstice and at every equinox.

In Chloe, a great city, the people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, conversations, surprises, caresses, bites. But no one greets anyone; eyes lock for a second, then dart away, seeking other eyes, never stopping.A girl comes along, twirling a parasol on her shoulder, and twirling slightly also her rounded hips. A woman in black comes along, showing her full age, her eyes restless beneath her veil, her lips trembling. A tattooed giant comes along; a young man with white hair; a female dwarf; two girls, twins, dressed in coral. Something runs among them, an exchange of glances like lines that connect one figure with another and draw arrows, stars, triangles, until all combinations are used up in a moment, and other characters come on to the scene: a blind man with a

cheetah on a leash, a courtesan with an ostrich-plume fan, an ephebe, a Fat Woman. And thus, when some people happen to find themselves together, taking shelter from the rain under an arcade, or crowding beneath an awning of the bazaar, or stopping to listen to the band in the square, meetings, seductions, copulations, orgies are consummated among them without a word exchanged, without a finger touching anything, almost without an eye raised. - .

A voluptuous vibration constantly stirs Chloe, the most chaste of cities. If men and women began to live their ephemeral dreams, every phantom would become a person with whom to begin a story of pursuits, pretenses, misunderstandings, clashes, oppressions, and the carousel of fantasies would stop.

When he enters the territory of which Eutropia is the capital, the traveler sees not one city but many, of equal size and not unlike one another, scattered over a vast, rolling plateau. Eutropia is not one, but all these cities together; only one is inhabited at a time, the others are empty; and this process is carried out in rotation. Now I shall tell you how. On the day when Eutropia’s inhabitants feel the grip of weariness and no one can bear any longer his job, his relatives, his house and his life, debts, the people he must greet or who greet him, then the whole citizenry decides to move to the next city, which is there waiting for

The first time I rode the bullet train (shinkansen), I expected to feel my hair blowing in the wind and the flesh of my face wobbling from the speed, but the train was oddly quiet and serene as it moved past rice fields and through mountains. I had prepared for the speed of light, but the shinkansen seemed to be moving at the speed of really fast.

STEPS TO COMPLETE YOUR CONTRACT

Be aware of the due date. Th e upper right-hand corner of your contract contains the due date. Th is is based on the day your contract was sent to you and may not be the same date as other UWM students that have received a contract. Make sure you submit your contract by this date. University Housing is unable to accept contracts submitted after the due date.

Fill out the top section of the contract. It is very important that the student (not a family member) completes and signs this section. Please note that we are asking for your UWM grade level in Fall 2010, not your current grade level. Contracts without a signature will not be accepted.

Indicate your top three room preferences. Use #1, #2, and #3 to indicate the order of your preference. Many factors determine room assignments, including roommate requests, Living Learning Community placement, and UWM application date. However, the inability of University Housing to honor your room preferences does not void this contract. You have the following options for your room preference:

a. Living Learning Community (see the back of the contract for these options)

b. Cambridge Commons doublec. RiverView Residence Hall doubled. Sandburg Halls single, double, or triplee. Sandburg Honors single, double, or triplef. Sandburg Halls East Tower single or double

(a very limited number of these rooms are available to new residents)

Th e centerfold of this newsletter contains more information about all of these options.

Request a roommate, if you wish. If you live in a double or triple room, you will have at least one roommate. You have the option to choose a roommate on the preference portion of your contract. If you request a roommate, make sure that student also requests you as a roommate and you have identical room preferences. We will honor roommate requests to the best of our ability. Th e inability of University Housing to honor your roommate preference does not void the contract.

Carefully consider if you would like to request a roommate. While your best friend from high school may seem like a great choice, think about your sleeping patterns, study habits and cleaning preferences before making the decision to live together. Living with someone you don’t know gives you the chance to meet new people and experience new things. If you do not choose a roommate, you will be randomly assigned one based on your room preference.

Choose a meal plan. Students that live in suites without kitchens are required to choose a meal plan. For those with kitchens, there is an administrative fee assessed to contribute to the upkeep of common area dining facilities. You can change your meal plan at any time, as well as add money online throughout the year. More information about the meal plan is on page seven of this newsletter.

Read the contract terms. It is very important that you read the Contract Guidebook, which is posted online at: www.universityhousing.uwm.edu/apply/contract.cfm

Th e Contract Guidebook contains all of the terms and conditions that you agree to when signing your contract. It includes required entrance and departure dates, cancellation and termination policies, and other important information. Be sure to read it before signing your contract!

University Housing residents are required to participate in the Restaurant Operations resident meal plan. Th e amount of participation required is determined by the presence of a kitchen in the suite—students in a suite without a kitchen are required to purchase one of the pre-set meal plan levels. Student in a suite with a kitchen are only required to pay the administration fee, although they’re welcome to purchase a meal plan or add funds to their meal plan at any time. If you do not choose a meal plan but receive a room assignment that requires one, you will be billed for a Level Two meal plan.

MEAL PLAN STRUCTURE Th e meal plan is comprised of two parts: (1) the administration fee, and (2) meal plan dollars. Th e administration fee covers the fi xed costs of residence hall dining facilities, such as debt payment, equipment, staffi ng, maintenance, etc. Th e meal plan dollars represent the amount of money residents have to purchase food items. Because the administration fee supports residence hall dining facilities, students using their meal plan to purchase food in these facilities receive a discount of 50% off the cash price. Eligible dining locations include:

• Cafeterias (Cambridge Commons, RiverView, Sandburg)

• Palm Gardens (Sandburg)Th e meal plan can also be used at dining facilities in the Union and convenience dining facilities (Grind coff ee shop and convenience stores) in the residence halls. However, items purchased with the meal plan at these locations will be charged at the full cash price. Because of this, it is to your advantage to use the bulk of your meal plan dollars at the eligible dining locations. For more information about campus dining locations and services, visit the UWM Restaurant Operations website: www.aux.uwm.edu/dining.

MEAL PLAN CHOICESAll items in UWM dining locations are priced individually; there are no all-you-can-eat meal options. Consequently, you will choose a meal plan that represents the amount of money you expect to spend on food for the semester. Th ree meal plans are available—the level that is appropriate for you will vary based on your needs. Generally, students that eat 2-3 meals per day choose Level Two, and very active students or athletes choose Level Th ree. Meal plan dollars can be added to your plan at any time at www.uwm.managemyid.com. If funds remain at the end of the year, the balance will be refunded less a $10 processing fee.

For 2010-2011, Restaurant Operations will off er three meal plan levels, instead of the six levels that were previously off ered. 2009-2010 prices are listed as a guide. You can expect the new plans to represent the low, middle, and high end of this plan with a slight price increase.

2009-2010 MEAL PLAN RATES• Level 1: $2,060.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $418.00 per semester• Level 2: $2,300.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $538.00 per semester• Level 3: $2,450.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $613.00 per semester• Level 4: $2,700.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $738.00 per semester• Level 5: $3,224.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $1,000.00 per semester• Level 6: $3,600.00 per academic year » Admin fee: $612.00 per semester » Meal plan dollars: $1,188.00 per semester

ES SUITE-STYLE HOUSING

All UWM residence halls are suite-style. Suites consist of between two and four bedrooms that share a semi-private bathroom. Although rooms may be single, double, or triple occupancy, anywhere from four to six students live in a suite. University Housing has the right to assign rooms above the stated capacity. Your room occupancy refers to the number of people that will be sharing your bedroom, not the bathroom and other common suite areas. Cambridge and Sandburg East have suites that include kitchens. However, be aware that these suites are very popular among our returning students, and there may not be many available for fi rst-year students.

Donate to GAC

Grand Avenue Club

Mental illness is common everywhere in the world, with one person in every fourth or fifth household struggling with the symptoms of mental illness and the loss of confidence and isolation that often accompany it.

Grand Avenue Club (GAC) offers adults who experience mental illness an array of opportunities 365 days a year. Program participants are “members” of a community with a place to come, meaningful work, and meaningful relationships. GAC members work alongside a small but dedicated staff to actually run GAC and are involved in every aspect of the work.

What makes us unique:

∙ The expectation that members can be productive and contribute to the community.

∙ The assumption that the community needs and values them.

∙ The idea that when members work, go to school, vote, take an interest in social issues, and participate in cultural and recreational life, they take their rightful place in society.
