Catcalls

New names are nice. And the U.S. Geological Survey and National Weather Service Building, located at the corner of North Park Avenue and East Sixth Street, is receiving a new one this afternoon at 1 p.m. Now being named for former Arizona Senator Dennis DeConcini, the afternoon program begins with the former senator himself speaking at 2:30 p.m. Other guest speakers include UA President Peter Likins, the U.S. Geological Survey Director Charles Groat and other various officials. Also being presented is artwork by Susan Gamble, which can be found in the court yard of the newly named Dennis DeConcini Environment and Natural Resources building. Gamble will also speak at the open house. Nick Melcher at 670-6671 ext. 221 can answer all of your questions about the newest renamed building on campus.

The Arizona Historical Society is ready to show you history at its most trivial, with the story of "The Hanging of Eva Dugan," the only woman in the history of Arizona to be executed. Starting tonight at 7 p.m. in Arizona Historical Society's building, located at 949 E. Second St., the program promises to be an eye-opening experience to the history of our surrounding area. The lecture will last until 9 p.m. and costs $3 for students, provided that you bring your proof of enrollment.

Only two more of the Students Against Sweatshops lectures remain, so jump on the bandwagon now and catch their latest installment, "Globalization as Imperialism." Tonight's fun and games kicks off at 7 p.m. with the issue of the evening revolving around how local problems of homelessness and middle class incomes relate closely with global problems. The series is taking place tonight in the Social Sciences building, room 206. Everyone is invited to show up and debate the issues, as the series is designed to open dialogue about global issues.

A new gallery is popping up today in the Lionel Rombach Gallery, located in the UA Art building. Titled "My Very Own Homophobia" by Garth Wallrich, it is part of his honors thesis showing different styles in the explanation of the fear of homosexuality and how its manifests in aspects of today's culture. The gallery is located at the southeast corner of East Speedway Boulevard and North Park Avenue, and gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Have more questions about the display? Call Julie Sasse at 626-4215.

Another highlight on the lecture circuit today is the Building the Academic Community Series, with Mikelle Smith speaking about "Art, Body and Soul, Identity in Africa and the Americas." Smith is currently an associate professor of art history at the UA. The series, which takes place biweekly, showcases different faculty from around campus talking about issues near and dear to their heart. The speech should last 35 minutes, and starts at 12:15 p.m. in the Center for Creative Photography, located just north of Harvill.
