Yak Foundation: Oxy Donation?

So I finally got around to contacting Oxy’s development office, and it should be no problem to make a donation to Oxy from the foundation.  But, we need to be a little more specific.  Here’s an excerpt from what I heard back:”please let us know if there is a specific purpose you have in mind for these funds. We are currently trying to raise funds for our Summer Undergraduate Research program, the Omar Paxson scholarship fund for theater majors, and of course, scholarships in general – if any of these options appeal to you and your friends.” 

 

Thoughts?

p.s.  The person I heard back from was Lakshmi Dastur.  Remember Lakshmi?

 

Pandora

I may be late to this technological marvel (I have been told it has been around for a couple of years) but Pandora www.pandora.com is DNA based web streaming radio. You input an artist or song and it web streams music to you that is musically (genetically) linked by style, etc. to that music. And it is free.

Enjoy
