Learn to Swim program
The department of recreational sports is offering swimming lessons to Ramsey Student Center members through Dec. 3.

Adult lessons are offered Oct. 18–Nov. 17, Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:45–6:30 p.m., for beginners and advanced (stroke analysis). Cost is $40 ($30 students). A master’s workout is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. Cost is $100 ($50 students). Youth lessons (ages 5 or older) are offered Oct. 19–Nov. 18, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:45–6:15 p.m. Three levels of classes are available (fundamental skills, stroke development, and stroke improvement); cost is $15 for children of students or $20 for children of faculty and staff.

Private and semi-private lessons are also offered. Classes are 30 minutes and lessons are scheduled around pool availability during recreational swim hours. Private lessons are one-on-one; semi-private swim lessons are available to groups of two to three swimmers of similar abilities. Those interested should register at the cashier’s window in the Ramsey Student Center; a member of the Learn to Swim staff will contact registrants to schedule the lesson. Cost for one private lesson is $15 ($12 students) and for three lessons $40 ($30 students). A family rate is available when family members register at the same time for individual private lessons, with a savings of $5 on one lesson and $10 on three. Per-person cost for semi-private lessons is $10 ($7 students) for one lesson and $20 ($15 students) for three.

’05–’06 play suggestions
The department of theatre and film is in the process of selecting plays for the 2005–06 season. To encourage more interdisciplinary participation, the department is soliciting production proposals and ideas from faculty, staff and students throughout the university. Proposals should include the title of the play, its author, a short synopsis and a rationale for doing the play at UGA. Reasons might include, but are not limited to, an innovative concept or vision; the play’s pedagogical value (theatrical or period style, use of language, design problems, etc.); the chance for interdisciplinary collaboration or exploration of a significant event (elections, war, Women’s History Month, etc.); use of innovative or experimental media and technology; a thematic concept for the entire season (men vs. women, sports, oppression); appeal to a neglected audience; application to faculty research project; and use of alternative performance venues or collaborations with other theatres.

Send ideas to George Contini, Season Selection Committee Chair, at gcontini@uga.edu or Department of Theatre and Film, Fine Arts Building. E-mail submissions are preferred.
