PULLMAN, Wash.—Washington State University will present a number of events on the Pullman campus next week, June 7-10.
Bart Dearborn of Pullman Parks and Recreation will discuss “What to do on the Palouse” from noon to 1 p.m. June 7 in the Compton Union Building. Participants can bring a lunch and listen as Dearborn talks about which parks allow hiking and swimming, and the best place to picnic, throw a baseball or lie in the sun. This is the first of a series titled “Outdoors on the Palouse.”
On June 8, Joanne Greene of University Recreation will discuss “How to Eat Out on a Tight Budget.” The talk will be from noon to 1 p.m. in the CUB, B11-13. Greene will explain what it takes for students to eat out when they are low on funds.
Chris Guenther and the Honky Tonk Drifters will perform Wednesday, June 9 from noon to 1 p.m. on Glenn Terrell Mall. Guenther’s authentic and original blend of honky tonk, western swing, blues and big band pays tribute to the American musical form. A barbecue will be provided by University Catering. In case of rain, the event will move to the CUB Lair.
“61,” a baseball film directed by Billy Crystal, will be shown Thursday, June 10 in the CUB auditorium. Show times are 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Admission is free.
Set in New York City in 1961, “61” is a film for baseball lovers that features portrayals of Yankee legends Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. Zooming in on Maris and Mantle, the film follows these two opposites as they attempt to break Babe Ruth’s 1927 home run record and set a new world record.
The events are sponsored by WSU Campus Involvement’s Summer Programs.
