The performance, which is free and open to all, will be followed by a short discussion. It will take place in the Pembroke Dance Studio.

A Different Kind of Bird Fever. Perhaps the Bryn Mawr Health Center staff should prepare itself — an outbreak of Eagles Fever is expected to sweep through campus on Sunday, Nov. 6. Bob Kelly, host of KYW-TV's "Tailgate Takeover," will broadcast live at Bryn Mawr from 11 a.m. to noon to show how Bryn Mawr students, faculty and staff show their loyalty to the hometown heroes on the day of the Birds' away contest with the Washington Redskins. A potluck "tailgate" party in the Campus Center Main Lounge begins at 10:45 a.m. and is open to all fans. Event organizer Devon Montgomery '06 is also organizing a flag football game between faculty and staff for the broadcast. For more information and to sign up for the team, e-mail her at dmontgom@brynmawr.edu.

Gecan's talk, free and open to all, is sponsored by the GSSWSR and the Center for Ethnicities, Communities and Social Policy.

Self-Governance Forum. On Monday, Nov. 7, the Office of Intercultural Affairs will host a forum titled "Where Do We Go From Here?" from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. in the Campus Center Main Lounge.
