If you are fortunate enough to have been able to schedule yourself a lunch break at the traditional time of noon, you are in for a treat. The University Activities Board rewards people like you by allowing Eat to the Beat to grace you with live musical performances. Today's perk? Mark Humphreys -he'll be doing his solo-acoustic thing from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in The Cellar. Questions? Call Jake McLaughlin at 621-1111.
Roger Chevalier is a certifiable genius. He has taken his immense scientific knowledge all the way from the University of Virginia to our humble campus for the sole purpose of telling you everything you ever wanted to know about "Pulsar Nebulae," but were afraid to ask. No limits in his lecture title - just an extremely broad subject. Watch him work it in room N305 of the Steward Observatory at 12 p.m. this afternoon as part of the Theoretical Astrophysics Lunch Seminar series. Oh, and he'll do it again at 4 p.m. in room N210 of the same building. His contribution to the Theoretical Astrophysics Colloquium series will be a demonstration of his omniscience in the "Supernova Shock Phenomena" department. Just how will he cover areas this expansive? Call Barbara Kausen at 621-7690 to find out.
In my opinion, it's better to emulate the cast of Cleavers and Haskells than the Hatfields and McCoys. Mr. Garcia (Professor John A. Garcia, to be precise) will play the role of Mr. Rogers this afternoon from noon to 2 p.m., as he leads the "Diversity Dialogue" Brown Bag Forum. The Diversity Action Council is sponsoring this lunch-time talk on "Latino USA: Working through the Myths, Half-truths, and Demographic Representations of One of America's Oldest and Newest 'Minority' Groups" and will be providing free refreshments for all participants. Come to the Senior Ballroom of the Student Union to get in on the action. Call the aforementioned generous sponsor at 621-8676 for further information.
If you can't attend the Diversity Action Council's lecture, you can still dispel discrimination by attending the Public Lecture on Pancho Villa. Friedrich Katz (University of Chicago) will compare and contrast "The Legend and Reality of Pancho Villa" from 3 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. in room 150 of the Harvill building. Call Rachel Kram at 626-7242 for more info.
Besides red tide, dolphin mauling, and that pesky extinction possibility, fishing for lunch in the earth's many waters can be a risky thing to do. Thusly, Ed Glenn will make the connection between "Food Production from the Seas and its Environmental Consequences" at today's Institute for the Study of Planet Earth Seminar. Get the facts in the Auditorium of the Center for Creative Photography between 3:15 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sandy Jacobsen can tell you more at 621-9010.
I'm sure that, although many of us won't admit to such an atrocity, we all have undeservedly pulled the wings off of an unsuspecting bug at least once. Find out why those gossamer appendages are there in the first place this afternoon at the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Seminar. Jim Marden (Penn State University) will recount "The evolution of insect flight" at 4 p.m. in room 301 of the Biological Sciences West building. Be there. Call the EEB Department at 621-1588 for details.
