Here’s a solution: Come get a free yearbook! The 2008–2009 academic year Yearbooks have arrived! Halcyon will be setting up shop in Shane Lounge Wednesday through Friday from 12:00–1:30, so come get your FREE copy. The Halcyon is FREE to all students, and freshmen (class of 2013) are also welcome to a free copy if they wish. We know you’ll want one once you see them!

Want to bring a speaker or spoken-word artist to campus but don’t know where to get funding?
