Stop paying $7 to see some hyped-up Hollywood flick at the local theater and start expanding your cinematic horizons - for free. Tonight marks the debut of the 7th Annual Lesbian Looks Film and Video Series here in Tucson, and the Modern Languages Auditorium will be the site of the first two film showings.

Or, you can find out ahead of time by calling Beverly Seckinger at 621-1239.
OK, so how many of you were glued to the TV screen last year, feverishly following the "Trial of the Century"? Even if you won't admit it, I'm sure you die-hards will all be salivating over what I have to tell you. Johnnie Cochran's in town! Come hear this courtroom genius speak tonight at 7:30 in the Arizona Ballroom of the Student Union. ASUA and African American Student Affairs have combined their P.R. talents to bring you this special opportunity. Call Ryan Rosensteel at 621-2782 for details.
"If I Were a Rich Man," I would have paid exorbitant prices to experience "Fiddler on The Roof" on Broadway. But I, like you, am a poor college student.

Catch the Jewish spirit at 2 p.m. for your choice of $26, $32 or $38. Additional information is available by calling the Centennial Hall Box Office at 621-3341.
