Rohina Malik，a Chicago—based playwright，actress and solo performance artist，will take the stage in her one-woman play unveiledly(不帶面紗地)on May 29 at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh．

Born and raised in London，England，but of South Asian heritage，Malik is a fearless woman of talent．Her play，Unveiled，exposes racism，hate，crime，love，Islam(伊斯蘭教)，culture，language and life in one“amazing show，”said Jennifer Considine，professor of communication at UW Oshkosh．

Unveiled had its premiere in May 2009，and it received immediate attention．“I write plays because it’s my way of solving problems，”Malik said．“Art，in its many forms，has the power to solve world problems．That’s why，I believe we should do everything we can to nurture and protect it．”

Considine said she once saw Malik perform in Los Angeles and was deeply impressed．“You laugh and two minutes later you’re crying．She’s very talented，”Considine said．

She said Malik wants people to understand the experience of wearing the veil．“She wrote it following 9—11，as I remember her describing it—she was watching some of the media reports of women wearing the veil，and I think her experiences，and people she knows，were much more complex than what was being described in the media．”she said．

Considine said that the dislike of or prejudice against Islams，is very common in society，and it’s driven by a lack of understanding．“Her play will open students’eyes to seeing the wearing of the veil in a different way—and to maybe understanding that experience a bit differently，”Considine said．

She hopes to expose students to a variety of cultural experiences．“The goal of the play is to educate students about the wide variety of religious and non—religious traditions on our campus and in our community，”Considine said．

Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will reduce the stress of the flight. If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or have a meal before the flight.

Flight Delays

Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then mention your suspicion (懷疑) and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the same air-line or a competing one. This is called "Rule 240", and all airlines are required to do it.

Flight Cancellations (取消)

If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation(預訂)on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line personnel(職員) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it.

If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.
