CLEANUP ON AISLE 10
an original play written by Nicole Harrison
Clean Up on Aisle 10 is an original comedy about a scavenger hunt that takes place in a local Walmart. Three raucous teams, two bumbling announcers, one overworked associate, and one resident drunk roam the store wreaking havoc and taking names. As the hunt rages on tensions run high and friendships are born. If you’ve ever been to a Walmart you will enjoy this play! If you’ve never been to a Walmart you will enjoy this play! This show has everything: peas, puns, dancing and dabbling in sabotage…
Come see us as we perform 5 shows in only 2 weekends.

Are you interested in research, but don’t know what resources are available or which professors to talk to? On Thursday, November 10th from 1-3pm in the CLA’s Glickman Center, students will be able to meet professors pursuing research in Liberal Arts and learn how to get involved in undergraduate research at UT!

To Vote or Not to Vote? – a faculty debate between Brian Roberts and Bethany Albertson
presented by the Texas Political Union
Monday, November 7, 2016
7:00-8:30 PM
WAG 214
Voting is the central feature of democracy. It’s how we choose our leaders. It’s how we set the national agenda. Some say it’s our civic duty. But does it really matter?
Join us on the eve of the 2016 election as Professor Brian Roberts and Professor Bethany Albertson debate whether or not you should turn out to the polls the next day. You’ll hear two very different views of this central feature of our system of government and even have a chance to join the conversation through questions or as a subsequent speaker.
Refreshments will be served.
