H1N1 Vaccine Received; Free Clinic Tuesday

The College has obtained the much-awaited H1N1 vaccine; a free clinic will take place Tuesday from 9am to 6pm. Although the first wave of flu has passed, Director of Student Health Services Beth Kotarski warned that there will almost certainly be new outbreaks for the next several months, including after Thanksgiving travel; vaccination should help prevent this.

Yay! I love this tree- I've always called it the To Kill A Mockingbird tree cause you can SOOOO see Boo Radley putting some goods in there.

(But what will Scout and Jem do with all that junk, all that junk inside that trunk?)
(I love myself, a little.)

ANYWAY. I'm so glad they aren't getting rid of it.
