1 The Owls for Israel and the Bak-
er Institute Student Forum pres-
ent "The Peace Process In The
Middle East" today at noon in
■ the Brochstein Pavilion. They've
brought Dr. Oded Eran, the direc-
tor of the Institute for National
Security Studies and the former
Israeli ambassador to Jordan and
th«j European Union. Sounds like
a hoot.
I have an idea for an alternate
theme: Surf's Up! A Lunar New
Year Tractor Ride and Haunted
House Barbecue
The Rice Asian Student Society
presents their Lunar New Year
show tonight. It'll bea blast! Din-
ner starts at 6 p.m and the free
show begins at 7 p.m. The food
costs $4 and the boba $3, but if
you buy both at once you save a
whole dollar! Too generous.
Turkish pianist sensation Idil
Be et will give a recital today at
, p.m. in the Cullen Theater of
the Wortham Center. The event
is sponsored by the American
Turkish Association of Houston,
and tickets cost $40.
My Coffeehouse Shift
Not many people submitted cal-
endar events this week, so I'm go-
ing to put my personal schedule
on here. I work 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. at
Coffeehouse on Sundays. Please,
feel free to visit; I live to serve.
There is nothing more I would en-
joy in this world, young freshman
girl, than to make you and your
friends eight double iced mochas
at 12:45 a.m. Seriously; it makes
my day so much better. Thank
you for your zero tips.
MONDAY 23
Student Association Meeting
Watch the presidential candi-
dates eye each other suspicious-
ly! The SA Senate meets tonight at
10 p.m. in Farnsworth Pavilion.
Eco-friendly Eden

governmental affairs of the Na-
tional Association of Evangeli-
cals, will lecture about "Creation
Care," an environmentalism pol-
icy rooted in Christianity tonight

Public Policy. If this tickles your
holy fancy, visit www.bakerinsti-
tute.org to register.

You Died Today!
Happy, happy birthday to: Jeans

West wrangler "Buffalo Bill"
Cody (1846), famous amnesiac
H.M. (1926) and blues and rock-
and-roll phenomenon Fats Dom-
ino (1928)
We are truly sorry for the loss
of: angry and influential come-
dian Bill Hicks (1994), old-timey
director James Algar (1998) and
funnily-named meteorologist
Dick Fletcher (2008).
Academic deadlines from the
Registrar to your lap
Withdraw today and get 20% of
your tuition back! That's enough
to make it to California, I think.
KHAAAAAAAAN!
The Houston Museum of Natural
Science offers the "largest collec-
tion of 13th century artifacts" used
during Genghis Khan's empire.
Cool! The exhibit Genghis Khan
costs $18, but the Genghis Khan
memories will last a lifetime.
