Shortly before the Stated Hour of 4:30 p.m., our undergraduate Legacy Scholar, Jennifer Marlow found her way into the room. she was asked questions about her experiences abroad and her future plans. She was most pleasantly affable, and the time flew, and it was necessary to get back to work, but not before inviting her to attend our BarBQ, coming up at 5:30 p.m.
Spring Fling, 5:30 p.m., Lazy Owl, Riddell Centre
It will be necessary to charge $15.00 for the delicious meal that the Owl provides. I know that that is quite a lot, considering what you pay at A and W, but shucks, you don't have all the fun we have at our Owl, at a fast food joint! Remember, the success of our "Spring Fling" depends on who comes; if you don't show up, the ones who do will be very disappointed. People will be saying, "I was so hoping that so and so would be here, as we haven't seen one another for a long time: and talking on the phone is not the same as seeing each other face to face", and so on. So be sure to give it your best shot.
