Craig Carmean will be appearing on Monday, February 7, 2000.  He will be performing in the Bede Ballroom beginning at 8 p.m.  Craig is one of the finest musicians working today, who just happens to do comedy.  A great act that will keep you on the edge of your seats with musical selections and parodies that hit home. The program is sponsored by the Student Programming and Activities for Campus Entertainment (SPACE) Committee.

According to Gerald Fischer, CEO of the University of Minnesota Foundation, “The $102 million we raised in the last two months of 1999 is especially outstanding when you consider that during the entire 1999 fiscal year, the university raised $135 million.”
