Your body is your temple, and UA knows it. Stop by a booth on the Mall today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to check out the Student International Health Fair. Free health-related literature will be handed out to anyone interested in improving his or her lifestyle. The activities will take place in front of the Old Main fountain. For more information, contact Christie at 320-5234.
For college students, chaos is often quite apparent and looms heavily most days. Luckily, the mathematics department knows chaos theory and wants to share its collective knowledge. The Math Movie today, "Chaos, Fractals and Dynamics," by Robert Devaney of Boston University, will play from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Economics building, Room 110. The film gives a clear picture of the mathematical notion of chaos and portrays brilliant fractal diagrams for all to gaze upon in wonder. For more information, contact John L. Leonard at 621-6874, e-mail him at jleonard@math.arizona.edu or visit the Web site at http://www.math.arizona.edu.
As busy a woman as any on the UA campus, Kendra Gaines of the Writing Skills Improvement Center will take time at 5 p.m. to give individual assistance with any current writing project or writing in general. Just stop by the Modern Languages building, Room 410, at 5 p.m. to get tips and pointers from UA's writing guru.

Trauma and death are a part of life. Accepting and coping with these grievous occurrences isn't as easy as some portray. Luckily, UA psychology of death and loss instructor Patti Harada knows some of the best methods for coming to grips with a horrifying event. Go to the University Medical Center, DuVal Auditorium, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to participate in Harada's lecture session, "Reverence for our Grief." No reservations are required, and entrance costs $10 for the general public and $5 for UA staff, students and faculty. For more information, contact Harada at 886-6046, e-mail her at patti@lovematters.net or visit the Web site at http://www.lovematters.net.
Finally, take a load off at the Park Student Union from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. to check out the UA Studio Jazztet in its last performance of the month in the union. Everything from blues to modern jazz is fair game, and there is no cost to attend. Refreshments will be served.
