CMAC exists to educate and train martial artists. Combat sports are rigorous, demanding and require unwavering attention to detail and training. At CMAC we are committed to the creation of well rounded and skilled martial artists. We offer three distinct yet connected classes. Boxing class is specifically for hand combat skills. This is sport fighting at it's finest with combatants required to use only their skill with hands to score on their opponent. It requires great skill as you are so near your opponent and in the "strike zone." Jiu-Jitsu and MMA class is a mixed martial arts class designed to train students in all aspects of mixed martial arts from stand up striking to the infamous techniques of combat Jiu-Jitsu. We specialize in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The final class is Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a strictly combat self-defense class with absolutely no ties to sport fighting. It's purpose is to defend ones self in the most perilous real world scenarios against attackers seeking to harm you or someone you are with. Training is realistic and takes into account crime statistics, real world scenarios and modern weapons (knives, guns, batons, rifles). It is combat system tested in combat the world over and is rapidly becoming the dominant system for law enforcement, military and body guards. It's practice is completely independent from size and strength and it is designed as one system for men and women. It is simple and effective in preparing students for the worst case scenario.

The naginata is a traditional Japanese polearm, about 7 feet in length. Today the study of naginata is pursued in two forms: practice of the kata and shiai naginata, or actual match combat. Kata involves choreographed sequences of strikes and blocks by which the full capabilities of the naginata are displayed. In shiai naginata combatants don armor and score against each other by correctly executing strikes such as those displayed in the kata.

Similar publications in terms of content and style include The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine. We plan to distribute three issues during the 2005-2006 school year. Typical articles in the sections of politics and culture are five to eight pages in length double-spaced and emphasize analysis and/or research. We target national interviewees in order to gain credibility as a national publication. The Lens has a market because it is not intended to compete with The Carletonian or other campus publications. To our knowledge, there does not exist another nationally distributed undergraduate magazine of politics and culture. We feel confident that Carleton has the students and resources for such an endeavor.
Meetings: The content editorial board will meet Mondays, 8:30pm in the Hill House lounge. The business team will meet Tuesdays in Leighton 202 at 9pm. The design team will meet Thursdays in Leighton 330 at 9pm.

Women in Math and Science (WhIMS)
WhIMS exists as an internal support network and an external outreach program for women interested in math and science. A major goal is to provide Carleton women with new opportunites, information and encouragement in their pursuit of math and science-related careers. We do so by offering conference attendance opportunites, trips to the Twin Cities science venues and regular meetings with female math and science faculty. As an outreach program, WhIMS works with organizations such as the Girl Scouts to plan math and science activity days designed to expose a younger group to the possibilities of math and science.
