Reminders
* Before eating all those Christmas goodies, come to Student Health to complete your biometric screening. We are offering a special Christmas price of $20 to complete the screening during the week of Dec. 16-20. No appointment is necessary. You may walk in from 8-11 a.m. Please fast for at least 10 hours before the screening. Call 978-3620 or stop by 209 Ahlberg Hall for any questions or more information.
* In continuing the WSU tradition established in 1962 by the late Nicholas Pronko, professor emeritus of psychology, it is again time to support the Holiday Card Scholarship fund. This endowed fund provides three scholarships worth almost $1,500 each to students this school year. To make a gift, print the giving form at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?1944 and return it to the Annual Fund, Campus Box 2.
