FRIDAY, AUGUST 29 * As all good things must, Orientation Week for new students comes to an end. * Take the first steps towards becoming "involved" at Rice and attend the Activities Fair in the Student Center from 1 to 4 p.m. Most importantly: free food. * Come on. You know you've never really given country music a chance. Clay Walker performs at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion at 8 p.m. Call (713) 629-3700 for more information. * OK, so maybe "country" really doesn't do it for you. I'll bet opera is just the thing! The Houston Ebony Opera Guild presents The Marriage of Figaro at the Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park at 8:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday. Call (713) 522-3555 for information. SATURDAY, AUGUST 30 * Returning upperclassmen converge on the campus starting at 1 p.m. * Help at Outreach Day--meet at 10 a.m. in the Ray Courtyard of the Student Center. SUNDAY, AUGUST 31 * Houston turns 161 years old. It's older than your momma and your grandma, too. * Check out the new IMAX movies at the Houston Museum of Natural Science: Super Speedway or Alaska, Spirit of the Wild . The second offers an entrancing glimpse of Alaska's 5,000 glaciers. All of them. Call (713) 639-IMAX for information. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 * It's Labor Day, and there are no classes. Doesn't this strike you as a strangely inappropriate holiday? * The Astros play the Milwaukee Brewers at 1:35 p.m. in the Astrodome. Call (713) 629-3700 for information! Hurry! You don't want to be the one to miss out!
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 * You've been looking forward to this all summer: It's the first day of classes. Whoo-hoo. * Undergraduate registration continues from today until Friday, September 5. * Recover from that tough first day at the opening of Willy's Pub at 5 p.m. in the Student Center basement. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 * Take advantage of the "great deals" at the poster sale in the Student Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Friday, September 5. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 * Drop by the RPC Welcome Back Party from 8 to 10 p.m. in the Grand Hall of the RMC. There should be food and music. * Southwestern Bell offers help and special discounts for various services in the Student Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
