Farewell Oxford, Farewell Class of '02...*tear*
Here's a pseudo-sappy entry, with more pictuires, from Margaret about the Oxford trip.[0]
Planning Graduation Ring
The School of Planning brings back its traditional graduation ring. It represents a commitment "to serve public interest, clients, employers and the profession."[0]
Dogged effort to graduate
Jennifer Wong, who was legally blind, graduates with a degree in economics and psychology. She, and her guide dog, Lulu, was in my Human Resources Management class in second year. Kudos to the Office for Persons with Disabilities.[0]

I like UW's newest recruiment marketing campaign.[0]
A drunken walk home at UW [Matt Lee Uncut]
Word spreads fast with the planners it seems. Here's me at my prime retardedness. Plus, I can't really say it was the alcohol, since I was pretty darn fine by then. Yikes. Kudos to Greg for his excellent videographic skills.[2]

Greek Organization Recognition
A debate whether UW should recognize Greek organizations. While I have no interest in joining a frat, I am on-side with the author. I believe that they should hold the same privileges as any other recognized group or organization on campus-- if they are prepared to play by the UW/FEDs rules [via UW Opinion].[1]
Housing and Residences will be tripling beds in rooms at Ron Eydt Village
The number of new students admitted for September was at 114 per cent of the campus-wide target, and that means there is not enough rooms to accomodate froshies. That is pretty messed up. I can't imagine living with two other boys in the same room. Maybe I should be hospitable and have invite one to stay with me! Haha.[1]
