All around campus, anticipation is running high. The campus is littered with decorations of pumpkins, cobwebs and ghosts, reminding all that one of the most highly-attended events of the year is coming up – Halloween. Because this is one of the busiest seasons of the year, the Digest has been bustling with events. Here are some things you missed in this week’s Digest.

World Student Association’s Cultural Night
This year, the thirteenth annual Cultural Night is titled “Once United by Land, Tonight United by People,” and is taking place on November 14. Cultural Night is a dinner and a show that highlights many different cultures on campus. From 5 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., the dinner will take place in the Rothwell Student Center Ballroom.  The show follows at 7 p.m. in Thorpe Langley Theater in Old Main. Immediately following the show, there will be a dance in the Multicultural Center. Tickets can be purchased in the concourse this week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the RSC Concourse. The cost for students is $6 for the dinner only, $7 for the show only and $8 for both. For non-students, the cost is $8 for the dinner only, $7 for the show only and $13 for both.  

Peace Building Conference
Especially in recent years, the concept of peace seems sometimes to distance to grasp.  However, there is hope.  This November 2 through November 7, there will be a Peace Building Conference with events being held all across campus.  Some of the events include a Landmine/Cluster Munitions Exhibition in RSC on November 3 from 12 – 8 p.m. Also, the Oxfam Hunger Banquet happens the next night at 6 p.m. in the RSC Skylounge. For $5 dollars, anyone can see what it is like to live off of little to no food. Rounding out the conference on November 7, there will be a fundraiser 3-on-3 soccer tournament from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. in HWC, all proceeds going to UWS Amnesty International and UWS IPSA. 

Tuition Balance Due
So, this isn’t an event, but it is extremely important to know. On November 9, the full balance of remaining tuition must be paid in full for fall semester.  Failure to do so will result in holds being placed on your account, therefore making it impossible to register for classes for the spring. So, if you haven’t paid off that balance, make sure you get to the Cashier’s Office by the November 9.
