ONE THE SAME PAGE: VOICES OF BERKELEY
Every year since 2006, the College of Letters & Science at Berkeley has given incoming students something to talk about. That something has been a book, a film, and a theme. The theme for 2011 is linguistic diversity: the Voices of Berkeley. The keynote event, "Dreaming in Different Tongues: Languages and the Way We Think," takes place on Wednesday, September 14, at 7:30 pm, and is open to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis. Read more or watch the welcome video.
EDIBLE EDUCATION 101: THE RISE AND FUTURE OF THE FOOD MOVEMENT
Instructors: Nikki Henderson, Executive Director, People's Grocery; Michael Pollan, Knight Journalism Professor, UC Berkeley
The 2-unit, upper division course will be open to 400 UC Berkeley students and open free of cost to 300 general public. Each week experts in their field will relate their discipline to the food system/movement from a variety of perspectives. Confirmed speakers include: Carlo Petrini, Peter Sellars, Marion Nestle, Frances Moore Lappé, Raj Patel, Ann Cooper, Eric Schlosser, and Alice Waters. Tickets will be released weekly on Ticketweb starting August 15.

The Lunch Bunch

Phil's Sliders
2024 Shattuck Ave, between University and Addison
510.845.5060
www.philssliders.com
Sliders, for those of you who do not know, are mini burgers, and they're just $2 each at this new small place very close to the OLLI classrooms. Two are plenty for lunch, especially if you also order the potato tots (trust me, they are really delicious!) and a creamy milkshake. The meat is Marin Sun Farms grass-fed beef, but they also offer portobello mushroom sliders. Everything is quite tasty. To order, fill out a paper form and take it to the counter. Service is prompt and friendly. If you are looking for something fast and fun, try this place.
