QUICK BITS

QuickBits

Published October 14, 1998

Rah, rah, rah

Go team! Just a reminder -- this week is homecoming and you know what that means. It's time for the best tailgate parties of the season.

The bonfire Friday night put on by ASI starts at 6:30 in the overflow parking lot. For those of you who plan on painting yourselves green and gold to celebrate, stay a safe distance from the flames.

(Note to ASI: we will be watching what you use to start the fire with.)

Pissing match

Fraternities are pissed at each other about the rocks on the banks of the American River. The rocks are often arranged to represent the Greek letters of the groups.

But, not content to do just that, some fraternities are marking their territory in another manner as well.

One fraternity member has told Quickbits that the frats are, ahem, relieving themselves on the rocks to discourage other groups from changing them.

This was just too ripe for Quickbits to pass up.

Color line lecture

Otis Scott, chair of the ethnic studies department for CSUS, will be delivering the lecture for this year's John C. Livingston Lecture on the topic of "DuBosian Insight: Problematics of the Color Line Then and Now."

The lecture is at 3 p.m. in the University Theatre on Thursday and is free and open to the public.

Scott has been a professor at CSUS since 1974. The Livingston Lecture is named for the late Jack Livingston, who taught at CSUS from 1954 to 1982.

Free for all!

Kudos to UNIQUE for dropping the fees to the University Union's grand opening venues this week. The Thursday night entertainment in the University Ballroom will be musical group Mumbo Gumbo and on Friday night, comedian Jack Gallagher is scheduled (see "The Milkman").

The grand opening celebration of the University Union is going on all this week, featuring free entertainment on Thursday and Friday. A dedication will be held Thursday at 1:45 with a reception following in the University Ballroom and are open to the public. For more info, call the information desk at the University Union at 278-6997.
