Faculty Staff Appreciation Day, reservations due
Saturday, Sept. 2, is the
annual Faculty/Staff Appreciation Day from 4 until 5:30 p.m. on the
west side of the stadium as A-State teams up against Army with a 6
p.m. kickoff. Tickets to the game are only $2 per person and meal
tickets are a mere $2 for the tailgate. The tailgate menu consists
of fried chicken with all the fixins'. And, don't forget to bring
your lawn chairs and blankets, because seating is limited for the
tailgate. In case you were wondering, fliers and reservation forms
were mailed by interdepartmental mail late last month. The deadline
for ordering game or meal tickets is next Thursday, Aug. 24, so get
those forms turned into the President's Office. Game and meal
tickets will be delivered to departments. For more details, contact
the President's Office at 972-3030.

New residence hall ... Operation Move-in
Today and tomorrow, students will be moving into residence halls as
Operation Move-in takes over the campus. With the opening of
the new residence hall on northeast corner of the campus and the
additional number of students residing on campus this year, some changes will
occur. University Hall will remain "female only," while Arkansas
Hall will be "men only." Kays Hall will be co-ed, by wing. The newly
opened residence hall, which has five residential buildings will be
structured differently by each building.
The new residence hall brings a new type of campus living for ASU
students with 836 bedrooms or 209 suites, with each suite containing
four private bedrooms, two baths plus a shared living and
kitchenette area. The private bedrooms will include a phone number,
cable, and a data port with high speed Internet and wireless
capabilities. Numerous other amenities are available in the
residence hall, which is open only to upper level students. Of
course, other upper level students reside in Collegiate Park
Apartments or in Indian Village for non-traditional students. The
fall semester begins on Monday, Aug. 21, with the first day of
classes. Welcome everyone!
