CATCALLS
Over the past few months the Student Union galleries exhibited some fine work from local and national artists. Even if you missed these shows, you still have a chance to culture yourself before the term ends and you ditch town. The Arizona Gallery (second floor) will display the black and white photographs of Kemal Hadzic from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. today. The series is entitled "Streets," and focuses on the beauty and decay of the urban landscape. For more information, call 621-6142.
Let the booming, astronomy-saturated voice of Carl Sagan warm the very cockles of your aorta this wintery morning from 11 to noon at the Physics Movie Series. Be in Room 201 of the Physics and Atmospheric Science building to catch the next-to-last segment of Sagan's "Cosmos" series. Contact Larry Hoffman at 621-6826 for details.
Be part of the society who studies societies today at the Sociology Brown Bag Seminar. Or, if you prefer, listen to the lecture they are presenting - on societies. Susan Olzak (Department of So-ciology, Stanford) will break down "The Global Dynamics of Race and Ethnic Mobilization" from noon to 1:15 p.m. in Room 415 of the (you guessed it) Social Sciences building. Call Barbara McIntosh for more info at 621-3531.
You know, studying history has its benefits. However, might I suggest that if one does not pay attention to the stuff going on now that such comparison is impossible? This in mind, I encourage you to brush up on our southern neighbor's past and come to Guatimoc Yberri's lecture this afternoon. A former mayor of Hermosillo, Sonora, Yberri will be talking about "Current Trends in Sonoran and Mexican Politics" from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Con-ference Room 102 of the Doug-lass Building. Call Veronica Per-alta at 626-7242 for the specifics.
David W. McLaughlin (Courant Institute, New York University) demonstrates "Modeling of the Visual Cortex" this afternoon at the Program in Applied Mathematics Colloquium. Will it be out of clay? Bronze? Or the results of many tedious mathematical equations? See for yourself. The lecture begins at 4 p.m. in Room 501 of the Math-ematics building. Kathleen Leick will be happy to answer the ques-tions of the curious at 621-2016.
Be on site in Room 216 of the Chemistry and Biological Sciences building at 4 p.m. to hear the lecture "Wolbachia-Arthropod interactions: evolutionary considerations and applied potential." The talk, part of the Department of Entomology Fall 1998 Seminar Series, is co-sponsored by the Center for Insect Science. Refreshments will be served at 3:45 p.m. on the south side of the building. Call Aparna Telang at 621-1719 for more info.
