Once a year, the Texas Travesty puts on a comedic film fest showing short fliks made by UT kiddoes. And that once in 2008 is tonight at 8 p.m., Union Theater. But that’s not all; right after the fest, the movie “Super High Me,” a film that took SXSW Film by storm this March, will also be screened… for free.

Tomorrow, get your sex education with a free screening of “The Education of Shelby Knox” from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Union Theater. Knox is a UT alum that’s been a guest-blogger for The Huffington Post and has fought against teaching abstinence-only.

Knox herself will be there, and so will free pizza.

Excuses? None.

 
So… apparently hyenas defecate bone.

…..

Anyways according to mass email In honor of Earth Day, Jack Hanna’s coming to teach us longhorns how to play nice with the environment (and to dissect poo?). Yesss please.

7 p.m., April 22, 2008

Admission to the Jack Hanna event is free. UT students, faculty and staff may obtain passes from the Texas Union Student Events Center Events & Info Desk (Room 4.300) by presenting a UT ID.  Pass distribution will begin TOMORROW morning at 8:00 AM.

Get’em while they’re hot.

Ever read the UTPD Campus Watch archive?

First and foremost, the writing is brilliant. Without it, one would never know that UT police officers move with “cat-like reflexes.”

UT for Dummies fave crime from yesterday:

Burglary of Coin-Operated Machine: A UT staff member discovered four coin-operated machines located inside the women’s restroom had been forced open and an unknown amount of product had been stolen. Loss value: Unknown at this time. Discovered on: 3-28-07 at 9:30 PM.

Loss value of tampons: priceless, is what they meant to say.

Additionally, the faithful squad posted this:

“Again the University of Texas Police Department is asking for your assistance in reporting any and all suspicious activity that you witness. Your telephone call could earn you a pizza of your choice.”

For joining clubs, solving crime, winning sports games… we salute you pizza.

Dang it, St. Patrick’s Day didn’t fall on spring break ‘08. Since the green beer is flowing this year on the Monday after break AND after South by Southwest, many of us had to say no to the Irish festivities.

I don’t care how authentic the beer was, or how delish, I don’t even want to smell downtown Austin after spending the entire past week there. So I checked the options Austin has to offer for non-drinking, non-downtown fun during this green holiday.

SURPRISE! Not much.. However, if you’re looking for a free way to relax when you’ve got a case of the Mondays, Ruta Maya coffee house on South Congress has Yoga Happy Hour at 5:30 p.m. They offer it on Wednesdays, too. Like I said, it’s free, but technically you have to spend some $$ because they require a purchase (ie a drink or a snack) in order to participate at no cost.
