New Wichita State YouTube Channel
The WSU campus community has a new resource for sharing innovative ideas and knowledge that you help create every day. A WichitaStateTV site has been created inside YouTube EDU. (http://www.youtube.com/wichitastatetv) This will be a place to upload longer form videos (>15 mins.) that contain educational topics generated at WSU. The videos will be stored in the YouTube cloud and can be streamed by users from all over the world. Click here to read the guidelines that have been developed to keep the site in compliance with YouTube EDU. Videos to be approved for upload should be brought to the attention of Mike Wood, Executive Director of the MRC, at extension 7750 (mike.wood@wichita.edu).

Holman Screenwriting Award Announced
The winner of the 2011 Holman Screenwriting Award has been announced. Luke Geddes, a graduate student in the Department of English, will receive a $500 prize for his screenplay, The Brill Building.
Luke will graduate from Wichita State University this spring with an MFA in Creative Writing. While taking classes, he has been a Graduate Teaching Assistant, teaching English Composition and Introduction to Creative Writing. Luke describes himself as, “…primarily a prose fiction writer,” having published short stories in literary journals including Hayden's Ferry Review, Gargoyle, Pank, and Jabberwock Review. He was awarded the Stephen C. Barr Endowed Fellowship at WSU and will begin his Ph.D. in English and Creative Writing at the University of Cincinnati in the fall.
Luke’s screenplay is set in the iconic Brill Building, in New York City, during the early Sixties. The central characters are part of the pop music scene, creating, “…shooby doobies and da do ron rons.” There’s tension in the air as the writers and producers sense a change in musical tastes. New sounds are coming out of Greenwich Village.
“Luke Geddes has a clear sense of character and place,” said Mike Wood, director of the Film Studies Certificate Program at WSU. “His dialogue is some of the most natural that I’ve read.”
This is the ninth time that the award has been given. It is made possible by an endowment from Eldon and Carol Holman. Mrs. Holman was the director of WSU’s Media Resources Center from 1956 to 1978.
