All Comm. Arts students! Come join fellow students and professors for a Cinco de Mayo party to celebrate the end of the year! Mexican food will NOT be served, but we will have a delicious meal (i.e. steak, not regular cafeteria food!), department awards, pinatas and plenty of Cinco de Mayo decor.

Tickets are on sale now from most Comm Arts faculty for $5 through noon on Wednesday, April 30th (we need to know how many are coming by then for the food!). They won't be sold at the door.

Come party with us on May 5th (it really is Cinco de Mayo) at 5:30 in Coburn. Afterward, we'll go to the theatre for the end-of-the-year production of "Trip to Bountiful."
