The Quad opens for the main event at 4:30 p.m., with performances by United State of Electronica and Brighten. The Revelators and The Bottlenose Koffins open.

Tickets: $5 in advance, $7 at the show, available at the Campus Assistance Center.

‘Hairy’ Situation

Adventure and comedy—loaded with motley characters and theatrical surprises—come together in The Hairy Baby, written and directed by Fine Arts Professor Ki Gottberg.

The play tells the tale of a mystery baby that enters the life of a young couple and causes them to question everything, including their love.

The show runs May 8-18 at the Lee Center for the Arts.

Spring Fever

It—warm weather, blue skies and sunshine—finally arrived… albeit a few months tardy. The rising temperatures lure people outdoors to soak up the rays and explore. At Seattle University, that means playing ball or Frisbee on the green or lounging on the lip of the chapel's reflecting pool or near the fountain.

Mayor Nickels was among the more than 150 people at the May 10 event, which raised nearly $70,000 for men's basketball.
