Comedy: Beards of Comedy
- Location: Holmes Auditorium, Harder Hall
- Time: 9:00 PM - 11:00 PM
The BEARDS OF COMEDY Tour is quickly becoming one of the hottest shows in the United States, with four of the funniest, freshest (and yes, bearded) faces in comedy. Not your typical ‘Southern’ comedians, the "Beards" deliver an original brand of humor that’s deeply rooted in stand-up, and lightly blended with avant-garde elements of music, sketch, and improv.

Contrary to popular assumption, The Beards of Comedy Tour is not a comedy tour focused on facial hair humor. The name is more a parody of a "hook," or label. It means nothing in itself to have a beard, but four coincidentally bearded comedians offering their own refreshing twist on the traditional stand up comedy show; that’s something worth labeling. A fiercely follicled foursome of hilarity to be reckoned with…with laughter, not violence.

Spring Festival Celebration 2012

Before the dinner at 6 p.m., we’ll have the demo of different cuisines in several provinces of China (Hong Kong, Hubei, Shandong, Northwestern and Northeastern China )

Welcome to participate in and enjoy our celebration!

Attention Owners of U3 Thumb Drives

Many Campus Computers will not read Thumb drives identified as "U3" or with "Launchpad" installed. If you wish to use these thumb drives on library and other campus computers you will need to run the "U3 Uninstall program". A copy of the U3 Uninstall Program can be found on the U:Drive in the "Public/ITS/U3 Uninstall" folder or you can download it from http://www.u3.com/uninstall/final.aspx. First, make sure that you back up anything you currently have on your thumb drive to another source such as your hard drive. Then, simply run the “U3uninstall.exe from the U:Drive OR download and run the "U3uninstall.exe" file from the link, insert your drive, and follow directions. This should make your drive usable on campus computers. If this does not work, bring your drive to the ITS Helpdesk at Herrick Library. They will be happy to help you out.
