Start lining up early; quantities are limited and the supply of sweatshirts will disappear quickly.
- Get tickets today for a trip to Chino Latino restaurant on Monday, Oct. 25. Buses will pick up at the Flynn Hall turnaround and take passengers to the eatery, where dishes are promised to be “as distinct as the cultures that created them, with great flavors and an emphasis on freshness and tropical ingredients.” Tickets will be available at noon in the Box Office, lower level, Murray-Herrick Campus Center.
- Can you fit through a tennis racket? Didn’t think so – but the Showoffs can! The Showoff Show is an interactive comedy performance that may leave you with your “gut busted and mind blown while being guided on a bizarre journey where comedy, circus-style stunts and pranks collide.” The entertainment begins at 9 p.m. at Scooter’s.
