PreGame Place to Be
Do you arrive on campus early on football Saturdays to avoid traffic
and get a good parking space?
If you have some time to fill before kickoff, come by the University
Center for Pregame Showcase. Arts and Sciences faculty will give
short talks about such timely topics as self-help movements and
the "life on Mars" debate.
Each 30-minute presentation starts two hours before kickoff in
the Shiloh Room (room 235). Here's the schedule for this fall.
- Aug. 30 (Texas Tech), The Secularization of Spirituality: Self-Help
Movements and the Diseasing of America, Dr. Ronald Hopson, psychology.
- Oct. 4 (Mississippi), Evidence for Life in a Martian Meteorite
(! or ?), Dr. Harry McSween, geological sciences. This week only,
location changes to rooms 226-227.
- Oct. 11 (Georgia), Snakes: Objects of Fascination and Fear, Dr.
Sandy Echternacht, ecology and evolutionary biology.
- Nov. 1 (South Carolina), Andrew Jackson and his Tennessee Lieutenants,
Dr. Larry Ratner, history.
- Nov. 8 (Southern Mississippi, Homecoming), Strangers in Paradise:
The Effects and Management of Introduced Species, Dr. Dan Simberloff,
ecology and evolutionary biology.
- Nov. 29 (Vanderbilt), Contract to Kill: Murder for Hire and the
Value of Life in America, Dr. James Black, sociology.
