Women's studies caught a lot flak last year from recently bumped legislator Jean McGrath, but now is their time to shine in the limelight. The department will be hosting a panel discussion and anniversary party to celebrate the history of the department. This event will launch a new plan of "Setting the Record: The Archival/Oral History Project on the History of Women's Studies." The forum will review "Generations of Women's Studies at the University of Arizona." The panel discussion begins at 3:30 this afternoon, while the soiree starts two-hours later. Come to the Swede Johnson Building Room 205 to join the festivities. Call Elizabeth Kennedy at 621-7338 to get the scoop on all the details.
