They scramble to hit their alarms and search their dark rooms for the nearest obtainable spandex."

Students have say in library improvements

By Patricia A. Wand | October 25

University librarian Patricia A. Wand writes in response to recent criticism of AU's library. She states: "The University administration and library personnel continually strive to strengthen the collections, increase access to electronic resources and improve the facility. Students can be proud of their library, and we challenge those who think otherwise to come to the library and let us help you find what you need. Bender Library's reputation for being "weak" has outlived reality."

Dem-O-Cat says: Stop the war on women

By Catherine Kozak | October 21
