Does your UA experience match the images in the color brochures the recruiting committee sends out to your parents? Whether your answer be yea or nay, today is your chance to capture campus life as you really live it. Pick up a free disposable camera at noon today in Room 203 of Old Main, take some telling pictures (use your wise judgment, please), and return the camera to the same spot by noon tomorrow (April 1). This event has been titled "1 Day in 100 Years," and it will help create a visual "family album" (if I may quote the press release) of our lovely university. Costs are being covered by the Dean of Students Office, Arizona Student Media, Target, Trader Joe's and the U of A Bookstore. Questions? Call Celia Sepulveda at 621-7059.
As much as certain cultures have tried to deny that God and the government are bedfellows, there is a way to uncover their sordid relationship. And Barbara Lewalski is just the woman to do it. She's the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) Distinguished Lecturer in Renaissance Studies, and she'll be conducting a discussion of "Paradise Lost and Milton's Politics" this afternoon. Join the University of Arizona Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation Committee and the Department of English (the gracious sponsors of this event) in Room 202 of the Modern Languages building at 3:30 p.m. Robert E. Bjork can tell you more at 965-5900.
Take the pain out of planning a balanced diet for your pet bug at today's Center for Insect Science lecture. Stephen J. Simpson (Oxford Museum of Natural History) will be "Assuaging Nutritional Complexity: A Geometric Approach" from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Room 230 (the auditorium) of the Marley building. Free, food-pyramid-adhering refreshments will be served in the lobby at 3:45 p.m. For further information, call the Center for Insect Science at 621-4924.
Who says math is all about number-crunching and theorems? Why, it's chock full of fun stuff - like cartoons! The Mathematics Department's rented out Room 202 of the Family and Consumer Resources building from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. today to bring you "An Afternoon of Animation." "Donald in Mathmagic Land" (yes, the Disney duck), "Flatland" and "Infinite Acres" will be the featured flicks. Contact John L. Leonard at 621-6874 for more information.
Though sometimes it just feels good to slip an expletive or two into your creative writing essays, the use of four-letter words and such is generally frowned upon in academic writing. (There's just no way you can justify f#$* as an "impact word.") So, if you have trouble writing "why" instead of "what the hell," come to tonight's Weekly Writing Workshop. Kendra Gaines comes to your undergraduate rescue once again, this time with a lecture on "Persuading with Clear Logic and Appropriate Vocabulary." Courtesy of the Writing Skills Improvement Program, she'll be speaking in Room 310 of the Modern Languages building from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Call Donna Rabuck at 621-5849 if you have politely-phrased questions.
