November 7, 2006 at 3:40 pmSomebody call the Enquirer--we've had yet another yeti sighting.
On the morning of election day, November 7, our mysterious ape-creature was spotted in front of Sayles-Hill, holding a sign that encouraged students to vote.
Later, its head was found lying on the Sayles steps. Could this be the same creature that paid his respects at the Marshmallow Roast at the beginning of the term?

About a week ago, I decided I was going to stop using paper. Some people become vegetarian, some people ride a bike, some people use canvas sacks instead of grocery bags – my plan was to wipe my hands on my pants instead of using a paper towel.

Rating the Gould Library's Least Necessary Books
Compact shelving ain't gonna cut it forever. Every month of every year, our own Gould Library receives more books, and sooner or later, we'll have to admit to ourselves that there are some we really just don't need that much. What stays? What goes? Use this helpful index to start trimming the fat.
