UT Students in all Disciplines,

The Undergraduate Philosophy Association would like to cordially invite you the first annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference, this Friday, April 13 at 3:00 PM in Waggener 302.  Seven of our best thinkers will have the opportunity to present their research to an audience of like-minded peers like you, who are encouraged to ask questions, offer objections, and engage in philosophic dialogue.  The presentations consider a variety of queries:  Can thoughts be construed as actions, and do thoughts have moral weight?  What exact are the laws of nature?  Does ‘fallacy’ mean the same thing everywhere?  How objective is mathematics?

If these questions intrigue you, or if you’ve ever found yourself thinking about them on your own before (as happens so often in philosophy), that we would love to have you with us as we explore the answers – and the questions that arise thereof – together.  Again, it is this Friday, April 13 at 3:00 PM in Waggener 302.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Kyle and Armando, Co-Presidents, Undergraduate Philosophy Association

PS:  There will be free pizza and soft drinks!!

To History majors and potential history majors,

If you are interested in the honors program, please come to an information session at 5pm on April 9th, in the conference room in Garrison Hall (GAR 1.102).

I’ll talk and answer your questions about the program, the history honors thesis, and what courses you can take to have strong background for the program. We’ll talk about what courses to take next fall and in the future.

This is information only, and come even if you aren’t sure you want to do honors.

Of course you can also come see me during office hours Garrison 2.206 4-6 pm Thursday. But those tend to get crowded!

Foot in the Door presents

LIFE X 3

By Yasmina Reza

Translated by Christopher Hampton

LIFE X 3 presents a night in the life of two couples – Henry and Sonia, and Hubert and Inez. When Hubert (Henry’s boss) and Inez show up at Henry and Sonia’s for a dinner party on the wrong night, problems include lack of food, copiousness of wine, and Henry and Sonia’s petulant six-year-old who won’t go to bed. Over an improvised meal of chocolate fingers, Cheez-Its, and wine, the couples trade insults on every social and professional level, and loyalties are changed as quickly as glasses of Sancerre are drained.

Henry – Tyler Walker

Sonia – Elissa Russell

Hubert – Colin Vanderburg

Inez – Mi Kang

Directed by Kelsi Tyler

Assistant Directed by Allison Dillon and Lee Henry

April 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15
