Expand your horizons and grab a front-row seat for tonight's 7:30 p.m. installment of the International Arts Society Film Series, "Pather Panchali." This deceptive narrative about ordinary people put India on the cinematic map and was a stepping stool for the director's fame. The screening will be held in the Modern Languages auditorium, and popcorn is not included in the free admission. For more information, please call Charles Scruggs at 621-3527.

The lecture will begin at 7 in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Room S202 and a reception will follow. For more information, please call Stefanie Goebel at 628-7388 or 621-7338.
