Location: CEU, Nador 9. Bldg, Popper Room

Blood donation opportunity organized by CEU and the Hungarian Red
Cross.

How to become a blood donor:
1. You must first fill out a questionnaire about your state of health.
2. Then you need to drink one or two glasses tea or a soft drink to
compensate for
    the fluid you are giving.
3. The next step is a laboratory examination to determine whether you
are fit
    to give blood.  Your blood pressure is measured as well.
4. You then lie comfortably on a bed, while your blood is drawn into a
sterile bag.
    This lasts about 5 minutes, and you must relax for 5 minutes more.
5. Lastly, you must eat some food, which helps your body to reproduce
blood.

Please bring your ID
Refreshments are provided by the Hungarian Red Cross

ONGOING

DECEMBER 31, 2001 - FEBRUARY 28, 2002
Location: CEU Nador u. 11. Bldg, Galeria Centralis

An exhibition presented by the Open Society Archives at CEU:

"The Millenary Exhibition"

The new exhibition at Galeria Centralis focuses on the millennial
events, programmes and works of art that received public funding in
Hungary. This is the only exhibition so far that has tried to give an
overall picture of the kinds of official programmes and centrally
sponsored works that were created on the occasion of the millennium, the
anniversary not only of the foundation of the Hungarian State but also
of the adoption of Christianity.

Material was collected with the help of the state institutions that
organised, subsidised and documented these events, including the
Millennium Commissary Office, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the
Religious Editorial staff of the Hungarian Television, Duna Television,
the Hungarian Radio, the Hungarian Post Office, the Coin Trade Joint
Stock Company of the Hungarian National Bank, the Office for the
Protection of Historic Monuments (previously the Committee for the
Protection of Historic Monuments) and the Millennial Non-profit Company.
The selection of material on display in the exhibition largely reflects
the value judgements of the above-mentioned institutions: the exhibition
shows the events and programmes that they consider most important.

The collection of official documents and declarations serves to
reconstruct the authorities' intentions with regard to the Millennium,
the material displayed in the exhibition will help to establish the
extent to which those intentions were actually fulfilled.

The exhibition will be open through February 28.

Galeria Centralis opening hours:
Tuesday-Friday: 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
