Does the thought of looking for a post-graduation job immediately call up visions of infinite stacks of rejection letters? Well it doesn't have to, thank goodness - we've got Career Services to lean on. These kind and informative folks are offering you a chance to come in for a quick 15-minute Walk-In Counseling Session this afternoon so that you can discuss your job outlook with someone who knows the inside of the business market. Meander on over to the reception desk on the lower level of Old Main and make yourself an appointment between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so get there early. Call Career Services at 621-2588 for more information.
It's easy to think sometimes that since we Americans have not inhabited this continent for very long, there must not be much evidence of older civilizations on our soil. Au contraire, mon ami! North and South America have a rich store of artifacts just waiting to help us understand the past. Explore "Human Antiquity in the Americas" this afternoon at 4 at the new Anthropology Lecture. With Stephen Zegura as moderator, David Meltzer (Southern Methodist University), Vance Haynes and Art Jelinek (University of Arizona) will talk out the history of human existence on our Western lands. The lecture will be held in Room 216 of the Anthropology (Haury) building. Call Barbara Fregoso at 621-6298 for details.
The actual tests may be a couple of weeks away, but (as Mom and Dad incessantly tell you) cheaters never prosper and the early bird catches the worm. Avoid wandering eye syndrome and the old whisper-disguised-as-a-cough routine this semester and prepare early for your final exams. Kendra Gaines (Writing Skills Improvement Program) can show you how to get a head start tonight at the Weekly Writing Workshop. This week's topic is "Final Exam Strategies: Preparing for the Final Exam," and it will be held in Room 310 of the Modern Languages building from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Direct your questions to Donna Rabuck at 621-5849.
Your professors try just as hard as you do to constantly improve their ability in their fields. Come hear the melodious end result of years of continual hard work tonight at Crowder Hall, as Faye Robinson sings her part of the Faculty Artist Series. Robinson, a nationally acclaimed soprano, will perform parts of her repertoire (which includes compositions by Brahms, Strauss and Boulanger) at 7:30 p.m. Contact the Fine Arts Box Office at 621-1162 for ticket information.
Having given the trusty projector a few days of rest, Gallagher Theatre is now refreshed and ready to bring you another round of cheap-o films. They will begin anew with the razor-sharp teeth of Wesley Snipes in "Blade." Half-man, half-vampire, Blade is on the hunt for Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), the man who murdered his mother. Blade slakes his thirst for vengeance at 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Can't beat seeing a 1998 film for $2.50, now can you? Call Gallagher at 621-4678 for more information.
