For better or worse, it’s almost the end of the semester. As people’s schedules free up (the quiet before the storm, as most of us know) clubs and performance groups are looking to clock in that one last event before winter break. Take a look at our list and The Nine Ways of Knowing Event Calendar to make sure you are there to see your friends and to take advantage of your favorite on campus groups, and most importantly enjoy the pre-finals food, dance, music and merriment! (Before you have to devote long hours in Butler, of course).
