[Steve Roof]

A slight change in location:

Our hydro candidate, Martin Helmke, will be meeting with students this
evening in the CSC Lizard Lounge (3rd floor, south end) tonight at 8pm -
(not at the Cultural Center).

Come for the chocolate covered pretzels, stay for the conversation!


Martin will also be presenting today at Noon in CSC Rm 333 - light lunch
provided!
