Russian Conversation Group titled "The Nose" is an informal gathering for anyone interested in learning about Russian culture, as well as practicing speaking Russian.

"The Nose" will have its last semester meeting from 5-6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30, inside the Arkansas Union at The Hill Coffee.

The group takes its name from Nikolay Gogol's story "The Nose" about a gentleman in St. Petersburg who wakes up and realizes that his nose is gone. The nose becomes an independent fully-fleshed character of much higher rank than its owner, and it does not wish to recognize him.
