2. This coming Friday (4/15), we'll be celebrating this year's freedom 
from income tax returns! We will have champagne and comfort food to 
drown out tax woes, as well as celebratory ice cream for dessert. Also, 
we'll be featuring the movie "The Untouchables," which focuses on 
capturing tax evaders. Though this is a new feature this year, it 
continues a tradition of Edgerton movie events open to the grad student 
community.

What: Tax Day Celebration
When: Friday 4/15, 7:30pm
Where: EH Large Lounge
*As always, we ask that you help protect the environment by bringing
