This clinic is free for students and RecSports members, $10 for the OSU community and $12 for the general public.

The Linus Pauling Institute Seminar Series continues today with a lecture titled "A Food-Based Approach to the Prevention of Gastrointestinal Tract Cancers." All lectures are free and will take place in Agricultural and Life Sciences Room 401 at 2 p.m. Another lecture will take place on Thursday targeting aspects of cancer prevention and therapy.
On Wednesday, the Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing Seminar put on by Nicole Perna of the Genome Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present a lecture titled "Looking at the Genomes of Enterobacteria Through Mauve-Colored Glasses."
Dixon Recreation Center has a free recreational sports open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

The Memorial Union After Hours group is encouraging students to stay up, wake up and do something by holding the 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. The celebration will begin at 9 p.m. and continue until early Saturday morning.
The group will also hold a concert in the MU Ballroom beginning at 7 p.m. with performances by Blue Ember, Honest to Empire and a few hip-hop artists.
