Wednesday night's meeting of the University Park Undergraduate Association lasted two-and-a-half hours with an agenda filled to the brim. The main event of the evening, however, was the lively, sustained discussion on whether or not to remove Facilities Chair Haley McClernon from the Assembly.

The University Faculty Senate met yesterday for the third time this year. Among the main topics of discussion were excessive student drinking (I'm sensing a pattern here) and the lovely Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness.
