The Daily Bruin

Join us for a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation in Hoover 105 tonight (Monday), when Chris Kirkley, a music producer with Sahel Sounds, presents “Saharan MP3s to Vinyl Records: Sharing Music Across Cultures.” The same presentation will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Guests are asked to attend the later session.

The presentation will draw on Kirkley’s collaborations with musicians in West Africa and discuss the challenges inherent in cultural exchange. He will also discuss how, in an increasingly digital world, cheap technologies are opening up new means of production and distribution of global music. His presentation is the sixth in the “Majority World and the West” series.

The university community is invited to a free lecture, titled “Faith, Work, Economics and Religious Freedom,” at 7 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) in EHS 102. Presenting will be Hugh Whelchel, president of the Institute for Faith, Work & Economics and author of How Then Shall We Work.

Whelchel will address the Christian meaning of work and how the church lost sight of it. Central to his argument is that all work, not just missions and being a pastor, is important to God.

The campus will look a bit different on Saturday, Oct. 10, as we expect to host around 3,000 guests for homecoming weekend and our football game. Here are some things to make note of:

Bauman Parking Lot
Be sure to move your cars out of the Bauman parking lot on Friday evening. This space will be dedicated to vendors and tailgating on Saturday. Stop by on Saturday and check out all of the food and activities (including a car-smash) happening before the game!

Entrances to the football game
There will be two entrances into the game and both are located in the Bauman parking lot, directly behind the stadium.

Wheeler Sports Center closed
The Wheeler Sports Center will be closed from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This means the basketball gym, racquetball courts and locker rooms will be closed. The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.

Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.

Barricades
If you see a barricade, it is there for a reason. Please do not move them, jump over them, crawl under them, or unlock them.

Circle Parking Lot
The circle parking lot near Wheeler will be closed for the day. This space is reserved for officials to park in. Officials will arrive as early as 8:30 a.m.

Sideline Passes
No one will be granted field access without a sideline pass. Sideline passes are issued to those who are required to work and/or have official business during the game.

Tickets
Students and staff can show their ID cards at the gate to get into the game. Additional tickets can be purchased online or at the gate by visiting this link.

Tailgate Reunions
There will be special gatherings on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Bauman lot for alumni to reconnect with classmates in a fun, relaxed setting. The reunion will include lunch and a specific place for you and your classmates. Please also join us at the resident life tailgate tent before the game if you are a part of this affinity group.

We hope to see you at the game against Lewis & Clark at 1:30 p.m. and the tailgates prior to that!
