Those buying an available seating ticket will stand in line outside the Black Box theater. Just before the performance begins, if there are empty seats, people will be seated in the order in which they are standing in line (not according to the number on the ticket). Those unable to be seated may return their ticket to the box office for a refund.
Lafayette Environmental Awareness and Protection will continue its celebration of Earth Week with a free concert 8 p.m. today in Gilbert’s (see related story).

Students are invited to join the second Foam Dance Party of the school year 11 p.m.-3 p.m. tonight on March Field. The free party features a large, inflatable dance floor filled with foam made from bubbles. A DJ will play music as students dance in the foam, which Lafayette Activities Forum promises will be scent-free and last longer this time. “It’s lots of fun,” says LAF adviser Bobbi Kerridge. “We did this the first week of school in the fall and had a huge turn-out.”
