I would like to officially welcome all students back for the spring semester, and extend greetings to all the new students on behalf of the Yeshiva College Student Council. The spring semester began with a bang, on Super Bowl Sunday, YCSC held the 2nd annual Super Bowl Bash, sponsored by Student Services. The event, in Weisberg Commons, featured a six-foot TV screen (thank you to Facilities management), refreshments, wings and heroes enjoyed by over 500 students. A special thanks to the Department of F ood Services for their assistance in making the evening such a success. This is just the beginning of what will be an amazing semester.

Over the coming months look for lots of surprises like the nightly bagels, pizza and Dougies that YCSC and Student Services provided to ease the tension of finals. We are busy planning for many more activities. Last Tuesday we held our first open meeti ng of the semester at which we addressed many issues and topics. Foremost on the agenda were registration and cafeteria concerns. Their respective committees are currently addressing both issues. Look for more news and updates in the coming issues of the paper.

A special thank you to Eric Shuber for orchestrating the Book Exchange that allows students to buy and sell used books with ease. Next week brings the long awaited return of Morg Mart, look for postings of store hours. WYUR is currently working towards a return to the airwaves this semester, students interested in working for the station should contact Neil Berman.

This Thursday night we are pleased to welcome The Piamentas to our campus in an event sponsored by the Chabad Club. In the next month look for more Junior and Senior Class events to the Broadway performances of Mindgames and The Diary of Anne Frank. Si gns will be up soon and tickets will be limited. Also senior yearbook pictures will be taken soon so check your mail for updates.

In closing, I would like to invite all students to drop by my room or give a call and discuss any problems or suggestions they may have concerning campus issues. Additionally, I would like to thank all the students who gave their time to help run progr ams last semester and look forward to continued participation this semester.
