When things get tight, you gotta be thrifty. And not only does this theory apply to our meager student finances, it holds true for invisible things like heat. Today, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., Judith Curry (University of Colorado) will give you a fuller explanation at the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth Seminar. She will demonstrate how one can successfully balance "The Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic" in room 224 of the Physics and Atmospheric Sciences building. Sandy Jacobsen can give you the lowdown at 621-9010.
Oh, those mutable science kids. They seem to have an uncanny ability to take their field to the strangest places - including celluloid heaven. As proof of their adaptability, the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Undergraduate Club will be presenting an interactive showing of "Jurassic Park" tonight at 7 p.m. in room 218 of the Chemistry and Biological Sciences building. "Biological Sciences Theater 3000," as they are inclined to call it, will involve heckling of on-screen characters by Karl "Dinosaur Guru" Flessa, with help from the audience. How can you add your witticism to the pool? Contact the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at 621-7509 for details.
What do you get when a Cuban dance troupe performs a Russian ballet for an American audience? A favorite UA buzzword - multiculturalism!

Tickets are going for $26, $32 and $38 (depending on your seating preference and availability). Call the Centennial Hall Box Office at 621-3341 for seating information.
