Friends University hopes to arouse intelligent discussions at the Great Conversation. From 6:30 to 9 p.m. March 9 at the Wichita Scottish Rite, students can join in on intellectual conversations with Wichita’s community leaders and Friends faculty and staff.

Discussion topics may include arts and literature, politics and history, business and community, religion, education, leisure and lifestyles, and science and technology. A buffet dinner will also be served.

The cost is $60, and proceeds go to the Presidential Scholarship fund. All Presidential Scholarship recipients get in free. To register call Nancy Hinten at 295-5820.
