Friday Happenings: “Spring Gala” 6 P.M., Hood Museum–Party to celebrate the museum’s “High Society” exhibition of psychelia.

“Social Justice Coffehouse” 9:30 P.M. – 1:30 A.M., Commonground–“an exciting and dynamic aspect of the Tucker Foundation’s 50th anniversary celebration.” Right. Student performers will spend ten minutes apiece onstage and be compensated $100 for their trouble. It may not be social justice, but it sure beats a living wage.

“Kiss & Tell” 9:30 P.M., Poison Ivy (that empty room in the basement of Collis)–All three episodes of this student produced (?) program will be shown. Refreshments.

“SiNgLeD OUt!!” 7 P.M., Brace Commons–Should probably be avoided for the capitalization alone. “You could win a Super Fantabulously Amazing Date!!!!!” Good grief.

“The Existential Pleasures of Engineering” 3:30 P.M., Cummings–Samuel Florman from Kreisler Borg Florman Construction of Scarsdale, NY, speaks.

“Men’s Tennis v. Princeton” 3 P.M., Topliff Courts

Tucker Anniversary Events:

“Keynote speaker” 4 P.M., Spaulding (for those with tickets), Moore, and 105 Dartmouth–Maya Angelou speaks about…well, they didn’t say what she was going to speak about, but it’s Maya Angelou…

“[Jewish] Services” 5:30 P.M., Roth–Regular Friday night services. Not sure what these have to do with Tucker, but they’re in the brochure.

“Social Justice Coffeehouse”10 P.M., Commonground–(see above).

Saturday Tucker Events: (as we may sleep late tomorrow)
