Loyola Greyhound

Dear Loyola Students and Faculty: As many of you know, I've been a columnist on The Greyhound for about two months, a period of time that has been, quite frankly, an emotional rollercoaster ride. I've had highs and lows, pats on the back and evil eyes, congratulatory letters and hate mail alike.

Last week, Loyola released their annual literary collections, Forum and Garland, to showcase the talents of our finest writers. Coincidentally, Loyola's edgy, close-to-monthly lit mag Warnings was released earlier in the week as well, much to the delight of bibliophiles campus-wide.

It is a typical weekend night, the minute hand is itching toward last call, the playlist has started over from the top, and though you cannot pinpoint exactly when, it seems that the local watering hole has morphed into the annual Village Idiots Convention.

Thumbs Up Classes Are Over Out of celebration of the warm weather, Loyola is cancelling all classes! With all the professors giving automatic A's, we can all catch up on sun and laying on the quad. Take the next months to relax free, Loyola, because with this much free time, we won't know what to do.

Thumbs Up Relay For Life We were wildly impressed with the amount of publicity and enthusiasm regarding Relay for Life this year. The committee in charge of the event deserves a huge pat on the back - from the numerous flyers posted around campus, to the intense fundraising, to the decor in the College Center, to the night itself, no one can say these people didn't work their butts off.
