What you've been waiting for: The first award of the semester for "Longest and Most Difficult to Pronounce Name for a Lecture" goes to... Roberta F. Colman of the University of Delaware! Her presentation "Implication by Affinity Labeling and Mutagenesis of Critical Amino Acids in the Intersubunit Catalytic Site of Adenylosuccinate Lyase," can be heard this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. at today's Biochemistry Seminar. Partake of the free refreshments at 12:20 p.m. before you grab a coveted seat in room 237 of the Biological Sciences West building. Call Biochemistry at 621-9185 for details.
If you won't kill your television, at least be informed about who's programming you - I mean, the shows. KUAT is looking for a few good men or women to lead them in their media ventures, and they are inviting you to meet the candidates. Those in the running for Director of Division of KUAT Communications Group and General Manager of KUAT-TV, KUAS-TV, KUAT (AM)/(FM), and KUAZ FM will be eagerly awaiting your company and pointed questions. Meet one of these folks - Jack Parris, to be precise - this afternoon at the Open Forum. It will be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in room 146 of the James E. Rogers Law Center. Kay Jolly can tell you more at 621-4887.
Escape the egocentrism of only listening to presentations by UA professors at today's University-Wide Speakers Series lecture. Gary E. Machlis, chief social scientist for the National Park Service and professor of forest resources and sociology at the University of Idaho, will visit our lovely campus today at 3 p.m. to expose the connections between "Faust's Bargain and the Human Ecosystem." He'll talk love potions, he'll talk UFO's, he'll talk rock 'n roll, and he'll do it in the Memorial Student Union Ballroom. Which one? Ask Kathy Ott at 621-8257.
Today marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and the Center for Creative Photography. Call on Jan Peacock (associate professor, department of media art, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design; visiting professor, UA department of art; video and installation artist) at 5:30 p.m. for some Gallery Talk on the "Body of Speaking." Through a survey of the photographs of Ann Mandelbaum's exhibit, "Proximities," Peacock will urge you to take an up-close look at the human body and other such organic materials as "mysterious and intimate terrain." If this piques your interest, you can obtain more information by contacting the CCP at 621-7968.
What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite Monty Python movie? If the answer to any or all of these questions is "Monty Python & The Holy Grail," you are in luck. Not only will you be spared a nasty jolt from a catapult, you will have the delightful opportunity to catch this flick for only $2.50 tonight at Gallagher Theatre.
It's the first Midnight Special of the semester - go now, before your late-night activities become limited to cramming. Further information is available by calling the Theatre at 621-4678.
