The senior class had an informa tion session Monday in the Student Union called the Good to Know Expo. About 200 seniors passed through.

About 200 seniors attended the event. Class officers are also hosting more traditional events. Seniors will be able to ascend the stairs to the top of the Bell Tower and inscribe their names on the wav up. Senior David Steele, the master bell ringer, said that he could not recall an official start to the Bell Duke Center for Nicotine and Smoking Cessation Research Tower Climb tradition. “I know people have been able to climb the tower since it opened in 1931,’ he said. “But the oldest signature I've found on the tower is from 1937." But the honor of climbing the Bell Tower is exciting to many seniors such as Matt Bryson. “I think the Bell Tower Climb is awesome because I read in the DTH that not a lot of people get to do that,” he said.
