A new study shows that too much stress the night before finals can cause serious damage to one's mental health. So instead of last minute cramming and massive amounts of caffeine, come to the first ever Student Film Festival. That's right, after many delays and end of year projects; it's time to watch those films that a small part of you submitted. The fun starts at 2:30, today. Featured films include: The Volvo Diaries, Absolut Voder, and DDR: The Real Revolution. See you Thursday.

Students, if you are interested in hiking through the Grand Canyon, rock climbing and rafting on the Colorado River, there is an awesome opportunity waiting for you during Spring Break of 2007. Please see Ms. Durow in the Science office if you are interested.
