There will be a jazz performance--ah, the perks of sharing a residence hall (Mentorspeak for "dorm") with the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities!--in the auditorium in the basement of Snyder-Phillips. The day is February 8, the time is 8:00 PM, and the admission is free!
Students for a Free Economy (of whose mailing list I have apparently and luckily become a proud member) is hosting a debate about global warming between Peter Sinclair, a local environmental activist who worked with Al Gore's Climate Project, and Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and an attorney who specializes in environmental issues. That will be from 7:00 PM to 8:30 on Wednesday, February 6, in 105 South Kedzie Hall.
I shall be attending both of these, so of course you'll want to go. Unless, of course, you are for some reason halfway around the world hiking and boating through Pacific island chains, in which case you probably wouldn't have wanted to come anyway.
