Sometimes, the youngest, newest members of groups must deal with initiation. When initiation gets gruesome, it becomes hazing. If you've been hazed, seen someone hazed or know someone recovering, head to the Student Union Memorial Center, Room 404, from noon to 1 p.m. for the "Hazing Public Roundtable Discussion." The discussion is set up to teach people how to recognize when hazing occurs. For more information, contact Ann L. Wolfe at 621-8046 or e-mail her at awolfe@u.arizona.edu.

If you can't make the lunch date, or you simply want to learn more about hazing, you can hear from an expert tonight at 7 in the Economics building, Room 101. Ron Binder, vice president of the Gilchrist Alumni Management Associates, will speak about verbal and physical abuse from hazing and how to recognize and combat it. For more information, contact Kim Tobiason of UA Student Programs at 621-5435 or e-mail her at tobiason@u.arizona.edu.
