'Real World' Audition in Berkeley

Producers of the MTV show "The Real World" will be holding an open casting call on Oct. 8 at the Bear's Lair Pub in Berkeley from 10 a.m to 5 p.m.

From the tens of thousands of people who apply to be on the show, seven are chosen to live and work together in a house provided by MTV for five months, followed by cameras the entire time.

"The Real World" is MTV's longest running show, and is currently entering its 18th season.

To be eligible, applicants must be between 18 and 24 years old, and must bring a recent picture and valid photo identification to Saturday's audition. The Pub is located at 2475 Bancroft Way in Berkeley.

AS to hold women's self-defense class

AS will be sponsoring a women's self defense class on Wednesday Oct. 17 at 5 p.m in the Williman room.

Lara Aziz from YWCA of San Jose and other instructors will teach women basic self defense measures the could use in the event of an attack.

This is the first of what AS hopes will be more self-defense classes for women held on campus.

The first class is already full; however, women who want to get on a waiting list for future classes can sign up in the AS office.

Admission to the class is free of charge.
