Movie

Is it real, or just a clever story? Tonight is the debut of the new film, "The Blair Witch Project." The film shows how three film students head out into the woods in search of a cult, only to disappear into the darkness, never to be seen again. The film takes home movie footage, to create a eerie horror film that should keep you on the edge of your seat. The movie debut's today at theaters throughout Tucson.

Religious observance

The Shinto ceremony of Grand Purification, "Oh-harai-taisai", begins today. In this ancient ceremony of repentance, individuals purge themselves of the sins of the last six months. The faithful lay rings of grass and reeds at the entrances of Shinto shrines. Believers who walk through the rings are purified.

July 31-August 1

Farm outing

Agriculture students will delight at this chance to see the up-close-and-personal version of some family farms in Dragoon and Willcox. The UA Extended University sponsors this unique opportunity to gain a behind the scenes perspective of farming Saturday. A $59 fee covers the entire trip. Participants also will make a lunch prepared from fresh produce and farm raised products. For information about this little venture, call 626-4444.

Hiking

This weekend should be filled with cloudy skies and mild temperatures. Take advantage of this and flock to the mountains to explore. Directly to the north of the UA are the Santa Catalina mountains and Mount Lemmon, which house a number of fine hiking trails ranging from easy flat trails to up-and-down traverses. Call the Coronado National Forest at 749-8700, or stop at one of the ranger stations along the highway on your way up.

Mountain Avenue closure

Two major changes begin today to the face of the UA campus, so make sure to adjust your travel routes accordingly. North Mountain Avenue between East First Street and East Second Street will be closed possibly all week as construction crews repaint the road, making it a two-way street. In addition, a traffic light will be erected at Mountain and Second. The Mountain entrance to the Second Street Garage will be closed for the next two years beginning today. Drivers must now enter from the Second Street entrance.

Student union construction

Major changes to foot traffic around the Memorial Student Union are on their way. Fences will lead pedestrians to a narrow walkway on the east side between the union and the Administration building. Blockades will be placed around the union, making the only available entrance and exit through the front doors on the south side and the corridor between the UA Associated Students Bookstore and the union. Also, expect all of the metered parking spaces directly behind the union to become a victim of construction. Call Melissa Dryden with any questions at 621-9251.
