What's Going On

UICA continues their exhibition of 25 years’ worth of the career of photographer Sallie Mann this weekend (and the next, and a few after that). Expect a full writeup next week.

If you’re “seriously committed to pissing away three hours of your life” (in Paul Schrader’s phrase), head to Van Andel Arena for the tasteful spectacle of ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd at 7:30 p.m. Those of us afflicted with consciousness will probably not be joining you.

“Full Metal Jacket,” the acclaimed Stanley Kubrick Vietnam War film, plays in the Commons Lecture Hall via the Film Arts Committee Saturday night at 8:03 p.m. Free movie and free coffee, as usual (and a big mea culpa, Film Arts Committee.)

Ballydowse kicks it at the FAC Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. (see article, previous page). The price is a rather un-capitalist one buck.

Four Friends Coffeehouse features Claire Holley at 8 p.m. Oooh, we predict a rumble between Ken Heffner and those Four people. Anyway, tickets are $5 at the door, and Melanie Holwerda, Calvin alum, opens.
