No class Wednesday, November 1.
Class will not meet the evening of November 1 because there is a special lecture in CSC 12 B starting at 5:30. The lecture, by Professor Hynes of the University of Colorado, is on ozone and atmospheric chemistry. You are encouraged to attend.
Even though our regular class lecture will be cancelled Nov. 1, we can still meet for our 7:00 recitation if you want.
