Common Hour (12:30 pm)
Dora Mills, MD MPH, '89, will be delivering this week's Friday address about "Health Issues at the Dawn of the 21st Century." She would definitely know all about that, what with all the letters and stuff that follow her name.

Morrell Lounge, Smith Union		 Exhitbit Opening (5-8 pm)
The Casco Bay weekly has a cool picture of a guy with a building on his head. Trust me, it looks really cool. Wait, What am I saying! Go and see it for yourself. For info (like better directions than the sketchy address I give) call 252-7258.

Gibson Hall, Room 101.		 Big Party (9:00 pm)
Ok, I suppose everyone saw the Duck/Gorilla fight in Thorne last night. No it wasn't real. It was merely designed to create publicity for Up 'Til Dawn, a big charity event whose proceeds will be conated to St. Jude's Children Hospital. Come out and support a good cause.

Morrel Lounge, Smith Union.		 Chicago (3:00 pm & 8:00pm)

Russel Hall, USM-Gorham Campus.		 Shuttle (1pm - 3pm)
I know that most people's idea of a good time isn't taking a shuttle, but this one goes to the Coastal Studies Center. I have never been, but I hear the CSC (as the more science-oriented types call it) is beautiful these days. Plus, it gets you back to campus by 4:30, just in time to stop by chapel for Mass.

Departs from Smith Union.		 Birthday (all day)
Leah McConaughey is 22 today! She likes to do things with bugs, so if you want to make her happy, giver her that bettle you have been saving for a rainy day. Or am I the only one who does that?

Wherever Leah is.		 Catholic Mass (4:30 pm)
I know you are all kicking yourselves for not going to Mass last weekend, since you had a chance to see a real live monk. Well, if you go this weekend, he might show up again. It's worth a shot.

Bowdoin Chapel.
 
Feb. 12
Lecture (7:00 pm)
Noted Choreographer Deborah Ray will be kicking off her week as choreographer-in-residence (I didn't even know we had one of those) with a lecture titled "Woof woof woof woof woof / woof Woof woof woof." I think the title tells you all you need to know.

Wish Theater, Memorial Hall.		 Meeting (7:30 pm)
Did anyone go to the Campus Activities Board meeting last week? Ok, neither did I, but I still want to see if they really do give out candy. I don't really care who comes to campus to entertain me, just so long as I have some candy to eat.

Main Loung, Moutlon Union.		 Movie (6:30 pm)
Those German people are really into movies! It seems like every week there are 10 or 12 movies shown in German. Ok, maybe not that many, but still a lot. This one is called "The Captain of Kopenick." Like all German movies, it promises to entertain.

Smith Auditorium Sill Hall.		 Luncheon (12:00 pm)
I have always thought that the word 'luncheon' sounds much more refined and dignified than just the word 'lunch.' Who the coordinators are and why they need to sound so dignified I have no idea.

Room 1, Thorne Dining Hall
 
Feb. 13
Student Forum (7:30 pm)
The Student Government is sponsoring a forum on the House System. There will be a sicussion of several aspects of the house system, such as what's working, what needs improvement, and any new ideas that anyone mught have.

Lancaster Lounge, Moulton Union.		 Seminar (3:30 pm)
The Religion Department is sponsoring this seminar o Jung. I can't really say what they will talk about but I am certain that they will say Jung a lot, which automatically makes it a guaranteed fun time.

Beam Classroom, VAC		 More Movies! (6:00 pm)
These movies aren't German, but youcan't always get what you want. You'll just have to setlle for Sergeant York, Queen Christina, and Morocco. I don't know if there is a unifying theme to those movies. I guess you'll just have to go and find out.

Smith Auditorium, Sills Hall.		 Lecture (4:00 pm)
Interestingly, I saw nothing about this event anywhere at Bowdoin; I only found out about it through extensive perusal of the MaineToday.com calendar. In any case, DR. Walter Christie will be delivering a lecture titled "The Romantic Impulse, the Frankenstein Syndrome and the Future of Psychietry."

VAC.
 
Feb. 14
Yoga (12:10 pm)
I read in a book once about how a guy aquired X-ray vision by studying wit a yogi. I can only assume that yoga the activity and yoga the title are related. it would just be wierd otherwise.

Lancaster Lounge, Moutlon Union.		 Blood Drive (3:00 pm)
Giving blood isn't really that pleasant, so what I like to do when giving blood is pretned I am in the Middle Ages, and they are bleeding me because I am too hot-headed. That always makes the time pass easier.

Sargent Gymnasium.		 Meetings (6:15 pm)
The College Republicans are meeting, probably to craft schemes to stop the worker's revolution, which must proceed at all costs. And let me just say that just as there should be no private property, there should be no private dining rooms.

N. Private Dining Room, Moulton Union.

Film Showing (7:00 pm)
It isn't exactly clear what movie is being shown, or even what a posible theme of the movie is. So if you are the risk-taking sort, this is for you.

Beam Classroom, VAC.
