late.*)

Bard’s birthday with cake. (With mirth and laughter, let old wrinkles
come.*)
Stop in to the Library to check out the
Shakespeare display on the main floor any time during the week, and while
you’re there, ask for a Shakespeare bookmark. There will also be a
Shakespearean Scavenger hunt during the week, so watch for more details on
that.
Also week-long, hop up to the third
floor in AT306 and check out the “Lighting Shakespeare” exhibition presented by
the Photographic Lighting Techniques class.
* Words from the Bard himself.
