Gettin’ jiggly with it
The Maude Kerns Art Center will be bursting at the seams with wiggly, wobbly creations Saturday evening. The center’s 15th annual Jello Art Show will jiggle from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the event will include gelatin artwork and a Tacky Food Buffet filled with edible creations. This year’s theme is “Jellovision,” costumes are encouraged, and eclectic bonsai band Radar Angels will add their sound to the mix.
Artists should bring their food creations to the center, located at 1910 E. 15th Ave., between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The entry fee is $3 per piece. The evening is a benefit for the art center, and admission will be a suggested donation of $3, or $5 for families.

Investigative journalist to divulge political

information
The political atmosphere on campus is swirling with tension as the war marches on and ASUO elections approach, but a new element is about to be thrown into the mix.
Greg Palast, a well-known investigative journalist, is coming to the University on Sunday to promote his book “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy” at a benefit for independent and progressive voices in media sponsored by the University Survival Center. The event will take place in 150 Columbia, and doors open at 6 p.m. It is free and open to the public, but donations are encouraged.
In his investigative career, Palast has tackled numerous political scandals and issues for BBC Television and London newspaper The Observer, including the 2000 presidential election, the World Trade Organization and Enron’s accounting manipulations.
Kat Beglinger-L’Estrange, coordinator for Palast’s Northwest book tour, said University students wanting to hear something different from the standard fare of the “corporate media” on the war should attend.
“He’s very provocative,” Beglinger-L’Estrange said. “I think people would really appreciate knowing some of the facts he’s uncovered.”
