Weeklong fall break has arrived
By Kara Fohner
Copy Editor
L ast week, rumors circulated that
residents apart from fall athletes were
required to leave campus for fall break. The
athletes were concerned that the dining hall
would close, while other students believed
that they would be charged a steep daily fine
if they chose not to travel for the week.
These rumors were false. “Students can
stay. We just need to know who is staying,”
said Debbie D’Anna, Dean of Students. “We
know the fall athletes will be here, but if other
students stay we need to know that, and that’s
just to know who is in the buildings. It’s not
to assess a fine.”
For those who plan to stay, brunch will
be served in the caf from 10:30 a.m. until 2
p.m., and dinner will be served from 5 p.m.
President Bush's daughter interviews McMahon
T oday Show correspondent Jenna Bush Hager was on campus Thursday to
interview Bree McMahon and her soccer teammates Lindsay Pritchard, Brittany
Webster and Megan Jenkins. Hager originally interviewed Bree just after the accident
four years ago in which she lost her leg.
The segment is scheduled to air on NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday, Oct. 24
during the 8:30 a.m. half hour of the morning news snow. The local NBC affiliate,
WYFF-TV Channel 4, is carried by Comporium Cable TV, and the segment is likely to
be available on the NBC News website as well.
until 7 p.m.
However, most residents are choosing to
travel, because this fall break will last a full
week instead of last year’s two days. “I think
we wanted to make the semesters as even as
possible. We have a week-long spring break,
so we have a week-long fall break,” D’Anna
said. “It also provides some opportunities for
other learning experiences if faculty choose
to do a trip over fall break. It helps people
plan for those.”
Students with questions or concerns are
invited to visit campus life. “Just ask. That
way you’ll know the real answer,” D’Anna
said. “And have a good fall break!”
