Catcalls

Want to learn how Social Security can affect you? ASUA President Cisco Aguilar is planning to address this issue today at 3:30 p.m in the Education building's Kiva auditorium. Aguilar is expected to cover what effect this will have on students and what we can do to help. Also expected to speak is Mimi Gray, director of the Childcare Development Center. The program is expected to last 90 minutes. Contact Angie Toledo, at 626-4964 if you have any questions.

CatFest is happening tonight from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Expected to perform are local bands Hipster Daddy-O and the Hand Grenades, Neon Prophet, The Groovebox and Greyhound Soul. All sorts of giveaways and free food will be available. Although last year's bonanza was rained out, anyone who has been here a few years will remember the Refreshments' impromptu performance for CatFest two years ago as it was definitely one to remember. KAMP Student Radio DJ's will also be on hand, as well as many carnival attractions, although there will be no carnie folk. It will all take place at the west end of the UA Mall in front of Old Main. Call Rising Star Entertainment at 621-5779 if you would like to know more.

Do you hate waiting for a call from that special someone, but your roommate is always talking on the phone, so you miss your messages? You can't get rid of your roommate, so what are you to do? Greek house and dorm residents can now rejoice, because they can have voice mail installed into their phone systems. CCIT is preparing this new system to be available to all campus dwellers. For those who are unfamiliar with voice mail, the system will allow you to retrieve your messages from any touch-tone phone and can be hooked up to a pager or another phone to let you know when that special someone is calling. Call CCIT at 621-8999 to get all of the necessary information.

We all know some weekends we are scrapping around to find something to do. Well this weekend isn't one of them. You can always go around the 'hood and meet new friends. But if the parties around your neighborhood just aren't up to snuff, Tucson offers many fine movie theater establishments. Just south of campus on Broadway and Dodge behind El Con Mall there is a new movie house complete with stadium-style seating. Cineplex Odeon offers some new and some older movies just to the north of campus on Campbell and Grant. Look hard for this theater as the sign burned down this summer and they have yet to replace it. Another somewhat close theater is Century theaters on Grant and I-10, which offers most new releases within many huge domes. What should you see this weekend? Well some movies of note are the 13th Warrior starring Antonio Bandaras and The Astronauts Wife (which can be called Species part 3) where Johnny Depp and Chalize Theron push the envelope on making alien babies.
