They have done so much this year in making a difference. We have a new constitution, which creates a better checks and balances for the students, as well as a new CEUSA student government structure and a revised student code of conduct. Nick Deeter and the senators have put together a crosswalk safety proposal to keep those students and members of CEU safe as they cross the streets. Aaron Atwood and the student life council have helped to enforce the publicity policy in order to help keep our campus clean. With the help of Kamber Jensen and the student fee allocation committee, we kept our student fees from raising. Emily McRae and the inter-club council have rearranged how students can start clubs and receive money. Carol Thompson and the activities council started the first Homecoming Week."

I was flipping through and found a game, which you basically searched the crowds for something, and if you found it, you got a certain amount of points. As I read down the list, one in particular popped out to me. It was, "Find a teenager texting, two points." I had to laugh, for lying in my lap was my cell phone, a text waiting to be read. My sister, sitting beside me in a green lawn chair, also had her cell phone out and was texting a friend. I looked up and across the street; with just a quick glance, I saw three different teenagers with their phones out.

The college will not release transcripts, records or grades unless all fines and holds at the CEU Library are resolved. Also, please remember that any books, DVDs, CDs, videos or other library items you may have checked out and still have in your possession need to be returned to the library prior to the time you leave the campus. It would be a good idea to return unneeded library materials NOW before you get busy with finals and packing. Take a moment to look through your dorm room, car or backpack for any library-owned items that are overdue and return them to the library this next week. For questions regarding your account, please visit the library front desk or call the library at: 613-5209.
