Clinic registration on Oct. 5 will begin at 7:30 a.m., with practice 8 a.m.-9 a.m. The clinic introduces hockey to children with or without prior skating experience. For more information or to register by phone, call Jessica English at (860) 276-0135.


Archival research sessions

Manuscripts and Archives will offer a general introduction to archival research on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 24 and 25.

A major center for primary source research at Yale, Manuscripts and Archives is known for its collections on the University and New Haven, although the materials held by the department have a far broader sweep. They document a wide array of institutions, persons and subject areas including public policy and administration; diplomacy and international affairs; political and social thought and commentary; science, medicine and the environment, among others. Collections on Africa and Latin America are also substantial.

The sessions, which are open to the public, will be of particular interest to new faculty, undergraduates beginning work on seminar papers and senior essays, and graduate students investigating topics for research utilizing the holdings of the department. They will include information on searching the departments databases and finding aids and tools for identifying sources beyond Yale.

Each session will take place in the Cowles Reference Center, Rm. 150, Sterling Memorial Library, 4:15-5:15 p.m. For further information or to register, contact the department at mssa.assist@yale.edu or (203) 432-1744.


Fall Day Trip

The Yale Center for British Art will host a day trip for members only to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Tuesday, Sept. 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call (203) 432-2800.


Sociology conference

The Department of Sociology will host "Roger Gould and Sociology: A Memorial Conference" on Oct. 4 at the Graduate Club, 155 Elm St.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A reception will be held from 5 p.m to 6:30 p.m.

Speakers will include Andrew Abbott of the University of Chicago, Peter Bearman of Columbia University, Bonnie Erickson of the University of Toronto, among others.


Judaica research funds

The Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale is inviting applications for funding from the William and Miriam Horowitz and the David and Iris Fischer Judaica Project Funds.

The funds seek to promote projects by Yale students that will increase understanding of Jewish history, culture or religious thought. One stipend of $2,000 will be awarded through each fund.

The Horowitz Fund memorializes the late Yale trustee William Horowitz (Yale '29) and his wife Miriam Horowitz. The Fischer Fund memorializes concert pianist Iris Fischer and honors Dr. David Fischer, a member of the faculty of the School of Medicine.

The project may involve art, film, music, travel, study, theater, reading or writing, as long as it is consistent with the stated purpose of the funds. The total cost of carrying out the enterprise may exceed the value of the stipend. Doctoral dissertations are not funded.

Applications must be postmarked no later than March 21. For complete information, including application requirements, visit the website at www.yale.edu/hillel/grants.
