If you're an avid racquetball fan and player, or just like to pick up a racquet and throw on some goggles once in a while, than intramural sports has something for you.

You can go sign up at the Intramural Sports office located in the Recreation Center from noon to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Or, you can call Brian Jacoby at 621-8723.

It seems like it was just yesterday, but that time of year has come around again. That's right, it's Mishiyyat! While those of the Baha'i faith will be celebrating the holiday, the rest of us can find out what it's all about by calling up Allen Breckenridge at 623-7576.

So what if your date never believes that you want to go into the middle of a dark field just so you can watch the stars? Now, that wily partner will be forced to believe you, as tonight is the night for "Making Science Fun in the Science Center," going on tonight, in, of all places, the Steward Observatory, room N210 from 7:30 to 8:30. After a riveting lecture, the university will open up the 21-inch telescope to the public. Need more info? Talk to Thomas A. Fleming at 621-5049.

The neat part about astrophysics is that the longer the words get, the neater the topics are. Thrill to the Theoretical Astrophysics Lunch Seminar at noon, where Charles Gammie from the Harvard Center for Astrophysics will be talking about the "Stability of Warps in Accretion Disks," in N305 of the Steward Observatory. If that doesn't fill your Gammie need, he'll be speaking again at four, this time on "Magnetic Accretion onto Black Holes." The late show will be N210, also of the Steward Observatory. If you need any more information on either, talk to Barbara Kausen at 621-7690.
