One week after the official Dr. Martin Luther King holiday, the UA Center for Creative Photography is hosting a celebration in honor of "The Civil Rights Movement" and the contributions of modern day political figures. Special photos will be on display at 2:30 p.m. in the CCP viewing room, and a lecture entitled "Lynching and Capital Punishment" will begin at 3:30 p.m. Political science professors will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding the discussions on human sacrifices involved in an ever-changing economy. However, if you have any specific questions before the event, please call the African American Student Affairs office at 621-3419.

While emotions rage overseas in the oil rich deserts, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies attempts to educate UA students about their economy.

A trade show for all registered participants will also take place at the Tucson Convention Center. If you have any questions regarding the content of the lectures, or would like to register for any of the events, please call 546-2487 and reference the Technology expo.

There is more lurking in the night sky than a few flashing stars, and after tonight's lecture at the Steward Observatory, you will be able to identify some of it. The seminar entitled, "Cosmology at the Beginning of the New Millennium" will provide information regarding planetary alignment in the year 2001 as well as an opportunity for visitors to look through the 21-inch telescope located above the observatory. The lecture as well as the viewing will be free of charge to UA students and the general public. All participants should meet promptly at 7:30 p.m. in room N210 for good seats. If you have any further questions including the specific location of the observatory, please contact Thomas Fleming at 621-5049.
