memorative ceremony in the school’s Mills Library at 4:30 p.m. That will be followed by “WWII Internment and Conway: Lessons for Today,” a forum featuring Rohwer survivor Richard Yada, Hendrix President Dr. William Tsutsui and UA Little Rock professor Dr. Edma Delgado Solorzano at 4:45 p.m. in the Mills Center, Room A. At 7:30 p.m., Vivienne Schiffer’s film “Relocation, Arkansas: Aftermath of Incarceration” will be screened at Hendrix’s Worsham Performance Hall South, followed by a Q&A with Yada. An awful lot of inhumane treatment has been carried out in the name of “national security,” and it behooves us to revisit the ways in which xenophobic hysteria has affected policy in our country’s past, particularly now, when simply replacing the word “Japanese” with “Hispanic” or “Muslim” or “Syrian” makes the whole ordeal seem frighteningly contemporary.

ARKANSAS TIMES PRESENTS: ‘THE THING’ 7 p.m. Riverdale 10 Cinema. $8.50.
Boasting what may be one of the most terrifying taglines in cinematic history — “Man is the warmest place to hide” — John Carpenter’s “The Thing” came out the same day as “Blade Runner,” two movies that apparently needed to age a while before they were appreciated. Worse, both preceded the release of “E.T.” by two weeks, a death knoll for a suspense film that opts for despair and paranoia in a moment that craved hope and violins. “I’d made a really grueling, dark film and I just don’t think audiences in 1982 wanted to see that,” Carpenter told audiences at the movie’s screen-
ing at Capetown Film Festival in 2013. “They wanted to see ‘E.T.’ and ‘The Thing’ was the opposite.” Originally adapted from “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell, the film was expertly scored by renowned Italian composer Ennio Morricone (“The Good, The Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West”), the man largely responsible for the sound we associate with spaghetti Westerns. Scream Factory released a collector’s edition of “The Thing” on Blu-ray last October, but it’s worth a repeat on the big screen. Catch our presentation of the film Tuesday, and keep an eye out on Soundcloud for an accompanying podcast from Film Quotes Film, our curatorial partner in the Arkansas Times Film Series. SS

STAND UP FOR ACCESS COMEDY SHOW
8 p.m. The Lobby Bar. $10 ($5 for students).
With abortion rights under attack, the nonprofit Arkansas Access Abortion Support Network is raising funds to help patients who need help covering the cost of their procedures and associated expenses, such as travel, lodging and childcare. Though new state laws that have made it harder for low-income
women to obtain abortions are no joke, those who support women’s reproductive rights could use a laugh. So the AASN is bringing comedian Katrina Coleman, founder of the Memphis Comedy Festival, to this fundraiser for the organization. Michael Brown of the Brain Trust comedy show on YouTube hosts, and the show will also feature Little Rock comedians Kayla Esmond and Josh Ogle. Tickets are available at eventbrite.com. LNP
