Ratty – Chancellor’s Dining Room

4-5 pm

The Reporter screening
8 pm
List 120

Disclaimer: this film is not about an intrepid blogger/Brown student who, through his misadventures in cyberspace, discovers his true calling in life. It’s about, like, a crisis in the DRC and some NYT reporter. Whatevs. Free Nice Slice.

Eat free or dine trying.

__________

Hi-T, LGBTQ Fun!
10 pm-Midnight
3rd Floor Faunce

“Delicious refreshments” in a safe space and study break for LGBTQ students and their allies. A great time for anybody, and the refreshments are supposedly “delicious,” which automatically makes them better than the ones that are just “will be served.”

Philosophy and Math DUG Present…Guest Talks: Philosophy of Mathematics
4 pm
Barus and Holley 190

While the topic sounds enticing, the fact that the refreshments are only “provided” seems to bode well for…people who like any kind of food in their stomachs without paying.

Alpha Kappa Alpha presents…Workshop on Distracted Driving
7:08 pm
Mo-Champ Lounge

Many students think the last thing they need is another distracted driving talk, but the first thing they need is free pizza and a “beer goggle obstacle course.” Check it out!

Eat free or dine trying.

_____________

Asian Stir Fry Night
4–7:30 pm
Sharpe Refectory

Alright, so this is only “free” in the sense that meal plan is already paid for, but it feels worth mentioning since the event promises stir fry cooking demonstrations. Invite your friends who are off meal plan! (Like…me? What?)

Leavetaking Info Session
5 pm
Campus Center, room 228

This info session for those considering time away from Brown promises “free food for the long road ahead.” Yeah, okay. Seems fair.

Janus Conversation: The History of Birthright Citizenship with Professor Vorenberg
7–8 pm
Wilson 101

This Janus Fellows conversation and Q&A will feature “multiple varieties of Nice Slice pizzas.” But the real Q is: DOES THAT INCLUDE CRANBERRY PICNIC?

After hiking all the way to Rochambeau to see this award-winning Argentinean film, you’ll certainly need the provided refreshments (pizza and drinks).

ResCouncil Brainstorming Dinner
6 – 7 pm

Free Kabob and Curry and the chance to kvetch about housing? Don’t think it gets any better than that. This is the free food event of the season.

Independent Study DUG Dinner
7:30 pm
Faunce Campus Center 229

“Don’t know what an IC, GISP, ISP, AI is?” this event asked in Morning Mail. We actually have no idea what AI is (other than that Haley Joel Osmont movie our parents wouldn’t let us watch) so maybe we should take advantage of the promised free dinner…

Eat free or dine trying.
________

Don’t Feed the Landfills
12 – 1 pm
Brown Bookstore

Cartridge world representatives, whatever those are, will be speaking about how to save the world by recycling your ink cartridges. The upside is there will be free lunch and three printers will be raffled off during the event. Food and hardware for free ninety nine? Count us in.

WiSE Cupcake Decorating
6-8 pm
Science Center

The free food is cupcakes, but the promise of trashy movies and Harry Potter-themed Mafia is equally enticing. If you don’t know what Mafia is, you should probably go and find out before somebody ‘kills’ you…

Concentration Fair
7-8:30 pm
Sayles Hall

The most ambiguous free food of all time, ‘light refreshments,’ will be served at this bound-to-be-packed event where representatives from the several departments will be available to answer any questions about concentrations you may have. Unfortunately, ‘No Concentration,’ is the one option even Brown University cannot offer.
