This is a reminder of the Feb. 3 Black History Month performance at 
6:30 pm at the Little Theatre.  THE PROGRAM HAS CHANGED.  Team 
I-Themba, the South African dance and drama troupe, will not be able to 
appear because their Visas to enter the country were denied. However, 
in the spirit of Black History Month we will still have a wonderful 
performance. African boot dancers and drummers will perform, along with 
Mankho Banda-- an interactive performer from Malawi, Africa - - and the 
fantastic Vakani Mawethu Choir, which has been singing African freedom 
songs since the apartheid era and is singing for a cure now.  The 
performance will celebrate the lives of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and 
Coretta Scott King.  Tickets go on sale at 5 pm at the Little Theatre.  
Don't miss this performance!  Sponsored by CAS and the Parent Resource 
Center.  Admission: Students $6, General $12.  Tickets go on sale, 
beginning 5:00pm on February 3rd (The day of the show).
