CATCALLS
Reap the benefits of being associated with a winning football team at Wildcat Payoff Monday. Since the team kicked NE Louisiana's collective butt, we are entitled to a discount at the UA Bookstore. Some exclusions apply (hey, there's a catch to everything), but you can take 20 percent off damn near anything in the store. Do the math - that's 5 percent off for almost every sweet little Wildcat touchdown. (They have to cap it somewhere). Call Beth Bujarski at 621-2426 for more information.
Warm fuzzy feelings are the best way to beat winter chills. How would one procure such an emotion? Volunteer work! Today begins Fall Service Week 1998, a week-long (duh) event designed to help UA students get involved with the community and campus by giving up some of their free time. Be on the Mall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today for the "Volunteer Information Session" and talk with various community service groups about volunteer opportunities. Jessica Watson has details for you at 626-4906.
With lower temperatures often come lower spirits. Sometimes, however, a bad mood can turn into a persistent problem. If this be the case, come to the DuVal Auditorium of the Arizona Health Sciences Center for a lecture on "Chronic Depression: How Can Therapy Help?" Rachel Manber, assistant professor of psychiatry, will be giving the talk from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is part of the Faculty Lecture Series, and is presented by the Research Program in Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. Beverages will be provided, but brown-bag your own lunch. Contact Laurie Deurloo at 626-6509 for further information.
Is it the size of the ship or the motion of the ocean? The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology thinks it has the answer. The department's own Craig Lamunyon has come up with evidence to support the notion that size does matter, and he'll tell you all about it at 4 p.m. in Room 301 of the Biological Sciences West building. Clutch the edge of your seat as you hear why "Bigger is better: sperm size and sperm competition in nematodes." OK, so it won't help you out in your own human love life, but perhaps you can draw some interesting parallels. Call Susana Noriega-Edmond at 621-1588 for more information.
Kendra Gaines, of the Writing Skills Improvement Program, will be running today's Weekly Writing Workshop under the theme of the "Documented Essay: Incorporating Quotations." She'll be in Room 310 of the Modern Languages building tonight from 5 to 6 if you need some help. In the interim, Donna Rabuck can answer workshop-related questions at 621-5849.
If you're a perfect saint of a galaxy, do you get crowned with a luminous circular object? If anyone in Tucson knows, it's Edward Olszewski. He will ask and answer the question "How was the Milky Way's Halo Assembled?" tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 at the Steward Observatory Public Evening Series Lecture. Grab a seat in Room N210 of the Steward Observatory for the talk, then join the group as it moseys over to the Campus Station of the Observatory to get up close and personal with the night sky via a 21-inch telescope. Connie Walker has more information for you at 621-7096.
