UNI Latino Student Union hosts elementary students for college visit

Leslie Jones, assistant professor in the Department of Biology, arranged the visit. "This is an important service activity by our growing population of Latino students who are eager to be role models and inspire the Waterloo guests to start thinking about college early in their school careers."
Students arrive at the Wellness Recreation Center, Room 252, at 9:30 a.m. where they'll have a tour and later go to lunch. At 1 p.m. they will tour the Union and greenhouse.

Theatre UNI presents 'Measure for Measure'
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --Theatre UNI will continue its 2001-2002 season at the Strayer-Wood Theatre with William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure," opening Nov.1.
In the play, the Duke of Vienna goes undercover among his people, leaving his deputy in charge. The deputy soon gives in to the power of temptation, imposing strict moral codes that even he can't follow. "Although it was written in 1604, the play's themes -- justice, governmental and moral corruption, and the human desire for balance -- are subjects hotly debated and discussed in today's society," said Jascenna Haislet-Carlson, marketing director and theatre publicist.
The production is directed by Cynthia Goatley, professor of theatre. Scenic designer is Mark Parrott, staff designer for the theatre; lighting designer is Tim Kruse of Davenport; costume designer is Carol Colburn, professor of theatre; and stage manager is Christy Schrum of Indianola. Students performing in the show are (Name) of (hometown).
