CATCALLS

The "Building Academic Community" Speaker Series begins its fall stint today at noon in Gallagher Theatre. William D. Kingery, Regents Professor of the Department of Anthropology, wants you to join him in a dig for knowledge about "Ice Aircraft Carriers, Ceramic Incandescent Filaments, Renaissance Maiolica, and Material Engineering Design" for an hour. Bring your lunch and intellectual curiosity.

Do you know what a phthalocyanine is? Paul Smolenyak sure does - and if you go to his discussion this afternoon you, too, may leave with the same knowing grin. "Molecular Disks and Supramolecular Columns: Structural, Electrochemical, and Electronic Characterization of a Unique Class of Film Forming Phthalocyanines" is the name, and chemistry is the game. Head over to Chemical & Biological Science Classes and Laboratories Room 218 at 4 p.m. today. Call Neal Armstrong at 621-8242 for details.

If you don't know a chemical mole from an ant hill, perhaps you would like to join Marcia Rieke for a physics colloquium this afternoon from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Meet her in Room 201 of the Physics-Atmospheric Sciences building for her presentation of "The Hubble Telescope Observes the Center of the Milky Way." Be wowed by new images of stars and gasses made possible by the use of a near-infrared camera and find out how black holes may affect our galaxy. Sounds cool, sounds rad? Come by and partake of free refreshments beforehand at 3:30 p.m. in Room 218 of the same building.

Life's a little easier with a good calculator - if you know how to use it, of course. Tonight, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Joe Watkins will be on hand in Room 201 of the Physics-Atmospheric Sciences Building. Want to pass math this semester? Come with your questions, calculator, manual, and sense of adventure; leave with skills and satisfaction. It's like breaking the mystique of the Rubic's Cube. Once you've got it down, it'll never leave you.

Is it mindless activity you're looking for? Voila! "Titanic," the movie that caused a plethora of teen-agers and college students to spend the equivalent sum of a semester of books on rentals and late-night shows, will be showing at Gallagher Theatre tonight at 7:30 p.m. only. Get your $2.50 ready and get in line - this is your last chance to catch this flick on the big screen.

Come see what the candidates have to say! Andy Morales, a Democrat vying for a House seat in District 12, will visit campus today from noon to 1 p.m. He will answer your burning questions about the future of Tucson. The forum will be held in Room 256 of the Student Union, so no excuses about it being "too far away." This event is sponsored by the UA Business and Professional Women, BETA, the Classified State Council, the Faculty Senate and the Appointed Personnel Council. Call Ruth Rainwater at 621-8472 for more information.

The Arizona Repertory Theatre is presenting "I Hate Hamlet" tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Laboratory Theatre in Drama West of the Fine Arts Complex. The story depicts an actor who hates his Shakespearean role. Let's face it, holding that old skull does get a little macabre. The actor encounters the ghost of a former Hamlet devotee. And the discussion ensues. Tickets are $16 for the general public, $14 for senior citizens and UA employees, and $10 for UA students. The play will run through Sept. 6.
