FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The UA Committee on Fair Labor and University Licensing will hold its third meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, in Room 512 of the Arkansas Union.

The first half of the meeting - featuring three presentations - is open to the public on an observers only basis. The second half of the meeting will be closed for committee discussion, according to a unanimous vote of the committee taken at the last meeting.

The presentations will be by three committee members:
