Common Hour
(12:30 p.m.)
Make your own Common Hour! This week it is a discussion on the role of the admissions office at the College. But it's funny how the people who would have the most to complain about concerning admissions, namely the people who didn't get in, won't be there to talk.

The Chapel.

Performance (12:30 p.m.) If for some reason Common Hours, even the really cool one this week, aren't your bag, then maybe you ought to take in a lunch time concert. There are both students and professors playing, so you are guaranteed good music!

Gibson 101.

More Music (7:30 p.m.)
I got really excited when I thought that Michael Richards was playing, but it turns out it is E. Michael Richards. But I am sure he will be just as good. He will be playing 20th C. Japanese music, in case you were curious.

Gibson 101.

Republican Party
(8:00 a.m.)
The college Republicans are getting together and getting funky. The location is being kept secret, so as to keep the working man out, but I have a man on the inside, so I can give the full scoop on how they stomp on cockades (sorry for the obscure French Revolution joke, but it had to be done).

The Conservative Cave.

Conference (1:00 p.m)
There is a conference on Injustice in the Environment and Labor Sector, sponsored by LASO. Speaking completely seriously, I say that if you can only go to one thing this week, go to this. These are some of the most pressing issues facing our society, and learning about them will definitely help us all.

Shout Out (all day)
I would like to take this time and congratulate Bobby Z (aka Bob Zaino) who is leading a snowshoeing trip this weekend in the mountains of Western Maine. I heard his trip was canceled a week or two ago for lack of interest, but he won in the end.

Go Ranger Bob! Western Maine Mountains.

Discussion (10:00 a.m.)
If you really like the clarinet, or your name is Tyler Lange, then you will be pleased to know that E. Michael Richards is holding a workshop/discussion on how to play wonderful music on the world's favorite reed instrument.

Gibson 101.

Double Odds (all weekend)
I know that everyone has been having trouble finding the Waldo on campus, so I have decided to help out. This weekend my brother, Y. Thaled Waldo, will be on campus, so you have twice the chance to spot the Waldo. Where? Wherever a Waldo is!

Skating Show
(6:00 p.m.)
I didn't even know we had one, but the Bowdoin Skating School is co-sponsoring the show with the Skating Club of Brunswick. It is titled That's Entertainment, so if you were curious as to what exactly entertainment really is, then this is for you.

Dayton Arena.

Concert (3:00 p.m.)
The veritable Golden Horde of musicians that is the Concert Band will be playing an original composition by senior Francis Kayali and also a person named Weinberger. If we are lucky it will be Reagan's former Secretary of Defense.

Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall.

The Visit (3:00 p.m.)
I know, the Visit was performed last semester. The visit I am talking about is the one that all of you will be paying to Newman while she works at the caf. And if you need another reason besides Newmie's presence, I hear that she makes a mean milkshake.

Catholic Mass
(4:30 p.m.)
If you were at Ash Wednesday and really enjoyed yourself, then come see the Catholics in action once more. I guarantee it won't disappoint. And as I have said before, everyone is welcome to come, regardless of your faith.

Chapel.

Patriot (all day)
After a long hiatus Bowdoin's favorite conservative newspaper is back. I have to say, despite the fact that I think conservatism is made to keep rich people rich, I still welcome the debate. Maybe the Patriot will have a calendar and we can have a bitter feud. Or something.

Everywhere.

Personal Statement (no time)
I would like to note briefly how I have completely changed the calendar this week. It may look the same, but I have refused to include any movies or off-campus events, since I doubt anyone went to either one. If you dislike this, then please write in and prove that someone reads this calendar.

Vendor (8:00 a.m.)
I include this so that you can plan ahead and come equipped with buckets of cash on Monday for the silver jewelry vendor. Laura says she likes silver jewelry. And I would also like to note the incredible detail of the location; that makes me happy.

Bogart Court Vendor Station 1.

Office Hours
(2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.)
I know that this calendar is generating a lot of intellectual debate on campus, and so I have decided to hold office hours for those people who don't like writing letters to the Orient. You can come and chat about what you would like to see more of in the calendar, or just whatever you want to talk about.

Brunswick Aptartments X4.

Lecture (5:30 p.m.)
Carl Safina will deliver a talk entitled "Status and Trend of the World's Fisheries." I think someone from BALA should go and ask him how he feels about the barbarism of eating our fishy brethren of the wine-dark sea.

Kresge Auditorium, VAC.

Information Session (7:00 p.m.)
This is a session for anyone interested in working for PIRG (Public Interest Research Group - a non-profit founded by Nader) after graduation. Speaking as somone who worked for U.S. PIRG this summer, I wholeheartedly recommend the organization. They're good people.

CPC.

Seminar (3:30 p.m.)
I swear, this is the last time that I mention the Jung Seminar in the calendar. The only reason I do so at all, is because I finally figured out what its deal is: it is essentially a series of lectures and discussions of psychological issues, not necessarily Jung himself. So now you know.

Beam Classroom, VAC.

KinderCulture!
(4:30 -5:00 p.m.)
In this week's installment of the children's portion of the calendar, I want to bring to your attention multicultural play, fun and games. And, get this, reservations are suggested. This must be good stuff!

Center for MultiCultural Affairs.

Lecture (7:30 p.m.)
Rebecca Walker, famed author, activitst, and founder of the Third Wave Direct Action Corporation, will be delivering a lecture on women's issues. Definitely not to be missed.

Kresge Auditorium, VAC.

Free Mending
(by appointment)
If you can manage to track down Quinn, I hear she has quite a talent for mending things. And she is willing to do it for free! Why aggravate your mom by asking her to sew a button on your pants when you can get Quinn to do it?

Where Quinn is.

Hunger Banquet
(5:00 p.m.)
I know, it sounds kind of oxymoronic, but this is actually a really cool event. What happens is you go in and are randomly assigned a meal type, based upon the proportion of income distributions in world populations. Very educational.

Daggett Lounge, Thorne Hall.

Yoga (12:10 p.m.)
If you are anticipating a stressful week because of midterms or whatever (this means you, Maureen), then perhaps you should consider a midweek yoga session. No, not the Howell midweek dessert function that Andy loves, but genuine stretching and meditation. It is quite worthwhile, or so my yoga-loving mother tells me.

Lancaster Lounge, Moulton Union.

Performance (7:00 p.m.)
Stop Kiss is showing this weekend. I know absolutely nothing about it, except that my roommate was in it for a while, and then he dropped out. It will be an excellent show.

Wish Theater.

Performance (7:30 p.m.)
This is the last installment of Reed All About It! I know, it brings tears to your eyes, but the miniseries will come to a close, with the final performance by Kate Romano. Like this week's installment. But really, who doesn't love the clarinet?

Birthday (all day)
I forgot Kate's birthday last week, so this week I am celebrating the one week anniversary of the 20th anniversary of the year of her birth. If you see her, wish her a happy 20th and one week birthday.

Wherever Kate is.
