BERKELEY--
The University of California, Berkeley, is renowned for its
scholarship, research and athletics. On Saturday, April 15,
visitors can discover the many faces of Cal at Cal Day 2000.
From
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the campus will open the doors to its labs,
lecture halls and museums, giving visitors an inside look at
one of the nation's top public universities. Throughout the
day, there will be a variety of free activities, lectures and
demonstrations for people of all ages to enjoy.
Children
can experience the thrill of finding fossils at the Museum of
Paleontology or listen to a story at the 9th annual Celebration
of Children's Literature in Tolman Hall. Sports fans can watch
the rugby "Sweet 16" tournament or get an early look
at Cal's latest football recruits during a spring scrimmage.
For everyone, UC Berkeley faculty members will be giving lectures
throughout the day on topics ranging from interracial marriage
to manipulating molecules.
Find
out how UC Berkeley scientists could use your backyard to study
earthquakes at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. Or follow
Professor Roland Burgmann on a guided tour that traces the Hayward
Fault through campus. See what your voice looks like or ask
a linguist about the history of your favorite word at the phonology
lab in Dwinelle Hall. And, if you're tired of exploring, relax
with a free massage provided by the massage therapy experts
at the Recreational Sports Facility.
Admission
is free to all campus museums, including the Lawrence Hall of
Science and the Berkeley Art Museum. Parking in most campus
lots is free as well. A detailed schedule of events will be
available after April 1 on the Cal Day Web site at www.berkeley.edu/calday.
