Briefs

Don’t be alarmed
The environmental health and safety department will conduct their annual test of building sprinkler systems during normal office hours March 22-25. The fire alarms in 20 campus buildings equipped with sprinklers will go off briefly during the testing.

Change the date
The general faculty meeting originally scheduled for March 12 has been rescheduled to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 30, in 208 Hubbard Hall. The meeting agenda includes two proposals from the general education committee: the development of guidelines for further studies courses and a change to the committee’s charge.

There’s no debate
For the first time since 1977, and only the seventh time ever, WSU is sending debate students to the 53rd National Debate Tournament March 26-29 at Wayne State University. Jeremy Hathaway, Kristi Morioka, Shannon Holland and Tom O’Toole comprise WSU’s two teams under the direction of Elliott School of Communication assistant professor Jeff Jarman. WSU won the tournament in 1968.

That’s the spirit
WSU’s Spirit Squad, currently ranked fourth in the nation, will compete in the National Cheerleading Association National Collegiate Competition April 2-3 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

No Inside next week
Inside WSU will not publish next week during spring break. It will resume publishing April 2 with a print issue. The deadline for submissions for that issue is Tuesday, March 23.
