Editor's note: If you are planning on going to class today, clip the first CatCall, stuff it in your back pocket and read it when you are finished for the day.

SPRING BREAK IS UPON US!!! It's time to go to the beach, take a ski trip, fly to Europe or even park your lazy ass on the couch and vegetate heavily. The UA spring break, planned by the wonderful administration, runs from the end of today until March 18, when you return to class. Other opportunities available include: sitting in a bar with no cares in the world, going home to surprise your parents and ex-girlfriends and boyfriends, playing lots of golf, engaging in a meaningful meeting between your head and the nearest pillow and many other fun activities. For more information, contact your nearest available financial fund (such as your parents or favorite lending institution). Seriously, though, everyone be safe and enjoy the break!

For a relaxing end to the first part of the spring 2002 semester, stop by Holsclaw Recital Hall in the Fine Arts Complex to hear the School of Music and Dance Wind/Percussion Area Recital. UA's best student talent performs free of charge. For more information, call MusiCall at 621-2998 or visit the Web site at http://www.arts.arizona.edu/music.

The International Arts Society Film Series also has some relaxation activity planned for this beautiful day. The light-hearted Russian Comedy "Adam's Rib" will show at 7:30 p.m. in the Modern Languages auditorium. The movie is not the same as the 1940's flick featuring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. For more information, contact Charles Scruggs at 621-3527, e-mail him at Scruggs@u.arizona.edu or visit the Web site at http://www.coh.arizona.edu/COH/CALENDAR/filmseries/iasSpring2002.htm.

Finally, ring in spring break with a Spanish flamenco presentation that is sure to knock the rose from your mouth. Compania Espanola de Antonio Marquez will be at Centennial Hall tonight at 8 to cut a mean rug. Comprised of Marquez, dancers and ballerinas, the company uses culture and tradition to depict its native country of Spain. Tickets for the show are $34, $28 and $22, depending on seating. For more information, contact the Centennial Hall Box Office at 621-3341, or visit one of these three Web sites: http://www.andalucia.com/flamenco, http://uapresents.arizona.edu/0102performance.html or http://www.flamenco-world.com.
