The Daily Bruin

The annual Colored White Panel is tonight (Tuesday) in Shalom! This year’s topic is “‘Normal’ is Not a Color.”

Professor Steve Sherwood will be facilitating, and panelists will include our own students and faculty and guest panelist Leroy Barber from Word Made Flesh. Refreshments will be served.

Join us on Wednesday, March 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the International Student Center (International House), when Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) “nomads” share a 30-minute multimedia presentation that outlines the current challenges that the North Korean people are facing.

Among the stories told are of North Korean refugees who have made the incredible journey to freedom and the bottom-up changes that North Koreans are driving (like black markets and accessing foreign technology and media).

Their nomads will also introduce a brand-new initiative called “To the North Korean People,” which gives people here in North America and around the world the opportunity to send personal messages of support to the North Korean people.

Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A session and a chance for audience members to mingle with the nomads, check out the LiNK merchandise and find out more ways to get involved.

Join the university’s French and cinema programs for tonight’s Fox French Film Festival in Hoover 105.

Opening the night will be the classic comedy La Grande Vadrouille (Don’t Look Now – We’re Being Shot At). Set during WWII, this is a beloved movie in France, where it remained the top-grossing film for more than 30 years. It shows at 7 p.m.

Immediately following, at 9 p.m., Le Hérisson (The Hedgehog) will be featured. This very French, life-affirming film explores the unlikely friendship between a precocious 11-year-old determined to end her life on her 12th birthday and the gruff super of the Parisian building in which her family lives.

Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes and other French fare during the intermission for free between the shows.
