CWRU's SatCo, Saturday College, is accepting proposals for new courses. Past SatCo classes have ranged from history and parachute jumping to dance and cemetery tours.

All international students and scholars at the University under F-1 and J-1 visas who need to renew their visas before returning to the United States must visit either the Foreign Faculty and Scholars Office or International Student Services before departing. New procedures are in place at U.S. consulates that require electronic notification by universities before visas will be issued.

Donations in memory of Robert T. Kauer, adjunct associate professor of banking and finance at the Weatherhead School of Management, can be made to the Robert Kauer Memorial Scholarship Fund, care of the Weatherhead School, Room 350, Peter B. Lewis Building, 7235. Kauer died Sept. 12 after playing squash at the Veale Center.

The Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities will begin this year's Work-in-Progress Colloquium with the talk, "Dopefiends and Drug Dealers: Narcotics in Postwar Urban America" by Rhonda Williams, assistant professor of history. The program begins at 4:30 p.m. today in the Baker-Nord Center at 206 Clark Hall. Refreshments are available at 4 p.m.

During the work-in-progress series, faculty members in the humanities have the opportunity to share current research projects with their colleagues and other interested people on the CWRU campus. For details, call 368-0528 or e-mail bakernord@po.cwru.edu.

A new FedEx self-service drop-off box is located on the south side of Adelbert Hall on the new walkway to the Case Quad next to the loading area for the Pytte Science Center.

Using the drop-off box instead of calling FedEx for a pickup will save a sender $6 on most packages. The new box was supplied by FedEx in large part due to efforts of the Adelbert Suite Representatives.

Other campus FedEx drop boxes are in Sears Library and the Pytte Science Center.
