If you haven't heard of or seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind," today you can catch a glimpse of the author who captured a mentally ill man's life in the biography "A Beautiful Mind: A Biography of John Forbes Nash Jr." Sylvia Nasar was selected as the winner of the seventh annual Schorr Award given by a Tucson couple and selected mental illness experts. She will be at the Arizona Health Sciences Center in DuVal Auditorium at 4 p.m. to receive the award and speak about her experiences writing about a man who overcame schizophrenia to win a Nobel Prize. For more information, contact Lawton Snyder at 626-2827.


Kendra Gaines from the Writing Skills Improvement Program is back again with some tips on bettering your prose. Go to the Modern Languages building, Room 310 at 5 p.m. to catch Gaines' presentation of "Writing the Standard Paragraph." The workshop is held every Monday and is free. For more information, contact Donna Rabuck at 621-5849.


Crowder Hall is set to rumble to the booming bass from the School of Music and Dance Faculty Series concert featuring tuba player Kelly Thomas. The show costs $10 for the general public, $8 for UA employees and senior citizens and $4 for UA students with valid ID. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. For more information, contact the Fine Arts Box Office at 621-1162 or visit the Web site at http://www.arts.arizona.edu/music.


Another perk the UA offers to students, to go along with great parking, awesome space in housing facilities and absolutely no construction to speak of, is the free sneak previews of soon-to-be-released movies. The films committee of the University Activities Board picked a comedy for tonight's sneak preview in the Social Sciences building, Room 100. "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" is the show of the week. Tickets can be picked up from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Student Involvement and Leadership Room in the Student Union Memorial Center, Room 404, for tonight's movie. For more information, contact Diana Ziegler at 621-0768.


As UA continues to strive for greatness in the area of astronomy and optics for telescopes and such, the Steward Observatory is a great place to hear about the most recent technologies and practices in the search for new and far-off stars. Laird Close, an astronomer at UA, will present "De-twinkling the stars: Ultra-Sharp Astronomy with Adaptive Optics," at 7:30 p.m. in the observatory, Room N210. For more information, contact Thomas A. Fleming at 621-5049, e-mail him at taf@as.arizona.edu or visit the Web site at http://viking.as.arizona.edu/.
