He has received the PEN/Faulkner Award, the Rea Award for excellence, and the Los Angeles Times Book Award.

Publishers Weekly ca ll ed Wolff's characterizations "impeccab le, his ear pitch-perfect, and his eye unblinking yet compassionate." The New York Times Book Review said, "Wolff's range, sometimes within the same story, extends from fastidious real­ ism to the grotesque and lyrical. These stories provoke our amazed appreciation." After the reading, representatives from El Corral will be selling and Wolff will be signing copies of"This Boy's Life" and other Wolff publications. The reading is sponsored by Cal Poly Arts, the College of Libera l Arts, and the English Department. D ADVANCEMENT Epicor donates software to College of Engineering ••• Endowment Continued from page I "This wonderful gift means a great deal to us," said Vice President for Stu­ dent Affairs Juan Gonzalez. "It will fur­ ther insure we never forget Rachel." Planned by students, ReMEmber is held in conjunction with "Take Back the Night," an event dedicated to preventing violence against women. ReMEmber was begun in 1998 by stu­ dents in the ASI, Panhellenic Council, and Women's Center and has become a Cal Poly tradition. It is intended to be a time for reflection and commemoration and to provide solace and support. ReMEmber has become a memorial to Newhouse and Cuesta College student Aundria Crawford, whose bodies were found in the spring of 1999. The program also honors Kristin Smart, a Cal Poly student missing si nce May 1996.

Mail checks, payable to the Cal Poly Foundation, to Kelley, UU 217-M. D A recent gift of software will help engineering and business students learn high-tech methods for planning and tracking manufacturing jobs. Epicor donated a Vista software package that will allow students to simulate "real-world" manufacturing management environments, according to Serna Alptekin , chair of the In­ dustrial and Manufacturing Engi­ neering Department. "Vista will provide us opportuni­ ties for experimentation," Alptekin said. "Among its components is an effective integrated financial analysis module and a good job-tracking mod­ ule . The integrated system will allow students to gain greater experience with the overall impacts of decisions made on tbe shop floor and in the production planning modules." Students from the Co ll ege of Engineering and the Co ll ege of Business will use the Vista software as part of the Teaching Factory, a project partially supported by Cal Poly Plan funds. The Teaching Factory is being developed jointly by Alptekin; Reza Pouraghabagher, professor of industrial engineering; Dan Waldorf, assistant professor of industrial engineering; and Patricia McQuaid, associate professor of business management.
