Dates" is replacing Fiona Evans' "Scarborough" in the Long Wharf
Theatre's 2008-2009 season. Artistic director Gordon Edelstein

naturalist, Charles Darwin, the Yale Center for British Art is
hosting the "Endless forms": Charles Darwin, Natural Science and the
Visual Arts exhibition. It explores "the impact of Darwin's most
important theories on visual artists of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries". The exhibition will run until May 3. Be sure to
check it out! For more information, visit

* ELIZABETH AND ELIZABETH'S HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK
Everyone realizes that you need plenty of water to perform well in
the summertime, but the same applies when the weather turns cold.
Since dry, heated indoor air can be even more dehydrating than warm
sunshine, drinking enough is still a must.

If you're interested in volunteering for a pro-choice event, Planned
Parenthood needs you on February 18th from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at 345
Whitney Avenue. Volunteers can either work the phonebank or help out
as needed. Dinner is provided. Or, if you prefer to volunteer for a
pro-life group, you can email the Pro-Life Ministry at the Franciscan
Life Center at info at prolifeministry.org and they can tell you more!
* JAMIE'S ARTS AND CULTURE TIP OF THE WEEK
The Yale Symphony, the New Haven Symphony, the Yale Bookstore, and
the many art galleries around the downtown area are only the tip of
the iceberg. Check out the McDougal Center Student Life and Arts and
Culture calendar for updates about the many arts events going on every
week.
