Catcalls
In a twist on the traditional proverb, if you won't go find a job, let the job find you. Over 40 engineering companies will be on the Mall today between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to recruit students for part-time, full-time and internship possibilities. It's called I-Expo, and it fits nicely with the National Engineers Week events that have been going on here. Bring your resume and work the crowd of representatives from Motorola, IBM and more. On the off chance that it rains tomorrow, the fair will be held in the Arizona Ballroom of the Student Union. Call David Irwin at 621-3683 for more information.
Unlike many things (like aliens and the Kennedy assassination), the government is hardly keeping Alan Greenspan under wraps. However, John Schwarz (professor, political science) can assure you that you still don't know everything about the U.S. financial situation. Hear him expose "The Secret Side of the American Economy" today from 12:15 to 12:50 p.m. in Gallagher Theatre. He has chosen the mighty forum of the Building Academic Community Speaker Series to display his fine detective work - and it wouldn't have been possible without the American Council on Education and the UA Faculty Fellows. Get the juicy details from Sue Robison at 621-4700.
Some departments on this campus sure are modest. Though they don't want to take credit for it, they have brought the bright intellects of Rustum Roy and Evan Pugh (Pennsylvania State University) here to the UA to teach a mysteriously vague Seminar. These two distinguished scholars will give you "Modern Scientific Insights from Traditional Medical Engineering and Science" at 4 p.m. in Room 221 of the Mines and Metallurgy building. There is one way to find out who's behind all this - call Geri Hardy at 621-6070.
Given the title of today's Math Movie, I can pretty well assure you that a mathematician's idea of a relaxing day doesn't include watching the grass grow. Excitement, danger and surprises await you in the scenes of "Chaos, Fractals and Dynamics," a film by Robert Devaney (Boston College). Be visually amazed by the heroic feats of a supercomputer from 4 to 5 p.m. in Room 202 of the Family and Consumer Resources building. John L. Leonard can give you a quick synopsis if you call him at 621-6874.
Some professors thrive on limiting you to one page for an essay question. Sounds great at the beginning, but most of us usually find our cups runneth over when we actually know something about the topic. Learn how to make every sentence count at today's Weekly Writing Workshop. Kendra Gaines (of Writing Skills Improvement Center fame) will assist you in effectively "Writing the Standard Paragraph" from 5 to 6 p.m. in Room 310 of the Modern Languages building. Donna Rabuck can answer any preliminary questions at 621-5849.
Think your lack of a car is causing you to miss all the great opportunities to meet famous authors? The Department of English and UA Extended University invite you to consider possibilities other than snooty events at Borders. The Program of Creative Writing's own Elizabeth Evans will be doing a reading and autographing copies of her book, Carter Clay, tonight at 8 in the Modern Languages Auditorium. Contact Susan Dick at 626-2235 for details.
