LOYOLA EVENTS

The Cann Twins Duo Piano Concert. For most people, playing the piano is a two-handed job - the addition of extra fingers could cause a musical train wreck. But the result is pretty seamless in the hands (or, four hands) of pianists Claire and Antoinette Cann, the identical twin sisters who double up to play classical tracks. Be sure to catch this sister act when it comes to Loyola, even just to see how two women can comfortably fit on a piano bench. Roussell Performance Hall. March 13 at 7 p.m. $10 general admission; $5 all students and Loyola faculty/staff. - Lauren LaBorde

Greek Week. The Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association and National Pan-Hellenic Council will present events to unite, promote and celebrate Greek Life at Loyola during Greek Week. Returning favorites include the Greek Cookout in the Res Quad, Greek Olympics and the always-entertaining Airband. New this year is One Cause, a concert where the money raised will go towards a philanthropy chosen by all of the Greek organizations. The week will end with an all-Greek Toga party. But don't let the Greeks have all of the fun - be sure to check out Greek Week when it takes campus by storm. Campuswide. March 23-27. Free. - Kaitlin Christopherson

1718 Presents: David Carr. 1718, the reading series directed by Loyola, Tulane and UNO students, raises the bar for collegiate libation. Instead of getting wasted at the Boot, enjoy a classier fare at the The Columns Hotel, where the group stages its readings. This reading will feature New York Times journalist and author of the memoir "The Night of the Gun," David Carr. Readings from students - which tend to run the gamut from fiction to spoken word poetry - will follow. The Columns Hotel, April 1 at 7 p.m. Free. - Lauren LaBorde

Senior One-Act Festival. Theater arts seniors will present six one-act plays that range in setting from post-apocalyptic London to a subway in New York to the home of a married couple. Audiences can count on a modern, almost avant-garde tone for all six. Each senior directed and produced their play within their Senior Project course, and each show offers something entirely different. The seniors are Patrick Anthony, Andrew De La Peña, Helen Hutka, Whitney Shane Palmer, Brandon Sutton and Constance Thompson. Lower Depths Theater. April 19, 20, 23, 24, 7 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Free.
- Katie Urbaszewski

Social Justice Week and GaiaFest. Arguably one of the most active groups on campus, LUCAP knows how to host an event. Two of its most successful events return again this spring: on the heels of the group's Green Salon will be Global Justice week - which last year saw a week of film screenings, discussions and activism - and GaiaFest, when the Peace Quad turns into an on-campus market of vendors, artists and musicians. Campuswide. Global Justice Week: March 16-20, GaiaFest: April 24. - Lauren LaBorde

2009 Commencement Ceremony. May 9, 2009: the date anticipated by students since, well, the beginning of freshman year. This year's ceremony will be held in the Louisiana Superdome, and Gov. Bobby Jindal will deliver the address. Let's hope he approves upon his most recent speaking engagement, the Mr. Roger-esque Republican response after President Obama's address to Congress. The Louisiana Superdome. May 9 at 10 p.m. - Lauren LaBorde
