Compiled by Elizabeth Nyman

Saturday
For anyone in the mood for some mellow music, Lodge 1 Unplugged will take place tonight. The event will feature acoustic musical performance. The show begins at 7 p.m. in Lodge 1 in the basement of the U.C. and is sponsored by UCAB.

Sunday
The William and Mary Middle Eastern Music Ensemble will perform their fall concert tonight. Guest artists include vocalist Maryem Hassan Toller and the Botetourt Chamber Singers. The concert takes place at the Williamburg Regional Library at 7 p.m.

Monday
Sarah Morris, professor of classics at University of California at Los Angeles, is giving a lecture entitled "Artemis of Ephesus: a Greek Goddess in Anatolia." There will be a reception afterwards. It will last from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Andrews Hall 101.

Tuesday
Huda Lufti, a contemporary Egyptian artist and faculty member of the department of Arabic studies at the American University in Cairo, has an exhibition in the Muscarelle Museum of Art. This exhibition of works on paper is open from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Wednesday
Today is the first day of Thanksgiving Break. Are you ready to head home for break? Residence halls close at noon. Be sure to get everything you need over the holiday and head out to your final destination before noon. Have a safe trip home.

Thursday
It's Thanksgiving. Relax away from campus and have a good meal. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs at 9 a.m. on NBC, so you can enjoy this three hour annual tradition. Matt Lauer, Katie Couric and Al Roker will host this year's parade

Friday
You've been waiting for this the whole year. Today is "Black Friday," the biggest shopping day of the year. Be prepared to find some great sales at your nearest mall, but you might find parking at your local mall today as difficult as parking here at the College.

Next Week
Residence halls will reopen next Sunday, Nov. 25 at 9 a.m and classes will resume again on Monday, Nov. 26. Take a deep breath -- there are only two more weeks of classes left. Gear up for the last stretch of papers and quizzes before final exams begin on Dec. 10.
