Catcalls
Remember: It's not the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean. Need reassurance? Then come hear Ronald G. Askin speak at today's Systems and Industrial Engineering Seminar. He'll be explaining "The Effect of Size on Agility: Why Small is Beautiful" from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in room 301 of Engineering building #20. (Hint: Think David and Goliath.) Get more information from Helen Don at 621-6551.
Tonight's your first opportunity to find out just why the bike routes have been all screwed up this week. Want the answer? Then be on the Mall any time from 4 p.m. to midnight to experience Spring Fling, a huge hodgepodge of games, rides, food and whatnot. It's Wristband Night, which means you can drop $18 at one time instead of paying for each individual thrill. Bring the kids - children under 7 get in free. Get the rest of the details by calling the Spring Fling committee at 621-5610.
According to Dr. Scott P. Carroll (University of California, Davis), "Rapid adaptation to new host plants in the soapberry bug suggests the importance of ongoing evolution to ecology." Need I say more? Listen to the evidence at 4 p.m. in the Marley Auditorium as the Entomology Seminar starts rollin'. Aparna Telang will give you the details if you call 621-5855.
Like little halos: "The Structure and Evolution of Circumstellar Disks Around Young Stars" will be revealed to you this afternoon at the NOAO/KPNO/NSO/Steward Observatory and NRAO Joint Colloquium. A certain Dr. Michael Meyer (no relation to the horror-movie mutilator) will be speaking at 4 p.m. in room N210 of the Steward Observatory. Wet your question-askin' whistle with free refreshments at 3:30 p.m. in room 204. Ask Pat Breyfogle for further information at 318-8115.
Miss the last Harlem Globetrotters game? Well, tonight's your chance to catch some of the same antics at our very own McKale Memorial Center. The Wildcat men's basketball team will test their skills against the dexterity of the Wildchairs at the 15th Annual Lame for a Game exhibition. Dick Tomey and NFL player Tedy Bruschi will be sharing the court with "Mystery Wildcat Sumo Wrestlers" and other entertainers. It happens at 7 p.m. for your choice of $10, $7, or $5. Get 'yer autographs between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. More information may be obtained by calling the McKale Ticket Office at 621-2287.
In the usual conqueror's manner, some inhabitants of the Southwest region have exploited native resources for their personal gain and touted them as their property, which is conceivably wrong, especially if you're the one being taken advantage of. This all raises the issue of "The Real Culture Wars: Who Controls Cultural Resources in the Southwest?" Jane H. Hill is prepared to present the arguments tonight at the New Directions in Southwestern Anthropology Public Lecture Series. She'll be in room 103 of the Center for English as a Second Language building a 7:30 p.m. to say her piece and take your questions. This is the Arizona State Museum and Department of Anthropology's gift to you. Extend all personal thank-yous and direct all questions to Suzanne Fish at 626-8290.
