There are, as you know, 24 hours in a day. Out of these 1,440 minutes, I'm sure you can spare five to do something constructive for the community. On your way to your next class (assuming you'll be here between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), why don't you stop by the Fall Service Week 1998's "Make a Quick Change Day" booth on the UA Mall and write a letter to Congress, make a decoration for the elderly, or officially name yourself as an organ donor? It'll still leave you five minutes to get across campus, and you'll definitely be smiling on the way. Questions can be answered by Jessica Watson at 626-4906.
If you've got more than a few minutes to spare today and are interested in helping young girls break into the world of science, math and technology, take a few extra steps over to the Girlogy Kick-Off booth on the Mall. The Girlogy Network was designed to inform and support grade school and high school girls about careers in traditionally male-dominated professions. Join educators, professional women and community leaders in their quest to encourage aspiring young women scientists by talking with the organization between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Contact Sonia Economou at 621-4049 for details.
If you were a flying insect of some sort, and, in the course of your flight, some other bug pulled the old "hands over the eyes" trick on you, could you still stay suspended? Could you talk to other bugs and fly at the same time, or is keeping your eyes on the road essential to successful flying? Find out the answers to these questions and more at today's Arizona Research Laboratories Division of Neurobiology Seminar. Be in Room 601 of the Gould-Simpson Building at noon to hear Martina Wicklein speak on "Visual Control of Hovering Flight in Sphingid Moths." Mark Willis can elaborate if you call him at 621-8384.
Crazy scientists! We don't see you for days, you spend all your time up at that damn observatory looking through that microscope of yours, and you think we don't want to know what you're up to? Oh? A free lecture? OK. Come to the NOAO/KPNO/NSO/Steward Observatory and NRAO Joint Colloquium today from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to get the "Results from the CNOC2 Field Galaxy Redshift Survey," straight from the mouth of Huan Lin himself. He'll be explaining what they found up there in Room N210 of the Steward Observatory. Call Pat Breyfogle at 318-8115 if you have questions.
Though today's Entomology Seminar has nothing to do with hippie-associated living arrangements or bugs on Fourth Avenue, the focus is still "Founders, squatters and the exploitation of communal behavior in galling aphids." Show up to Room 230 of the Marley Building (the auditorium) at 4 p.m. to hear Dr. Donald Miller talk about the habits of a certain plant-sucking insect. Rose Kilby can fill you in at 621-7165.
