Where the Brown-Lupton Student Center goes, orientation shall not follow.

The Student Center is scheduled to be demolished at the beginning of June, said Harold Leeman, associate director of major projects at the Physical Plant, but Carrie Zimmerman, director of first year experience, said the demolition will not slow down the upcoming freshman orientation sessions.

Future accountants should take notice: they no longer get the mulligan the university offers through its course-retake policy.

The university's current retake policy allows a student to try as many times as they please to improve their grade in any course.

While the Faculty Senate is investigating a new course retake policy, the accounting department is implementing its own.

The invisible monster rears its head to ravage you from the inside out, and you are completely unaware. And, what's that? You don't care? This monster has killed millions and it's only 25 years old.
