EGSA Digest 9.21.12

EGSA,
A moderate Digest today, but plenty of edibles announced below.

Announcements

EGSA Breakfast Tomorrow

• Come and eat pancakes at Elizabeth’s tomorrow from 9am-12pm. Or just come at some point between those two times. Or come for the entire three hours but do not feel obligated to eat continuously. You really have quite a bit of flexibility with this one.
• Elizabeth lives at 1800 Primrose Ave. #220J
• If the gate is locked, you may yell, wail, rend your garments, or type in the code: 1800. Of all the cakes, why are pancakes the ones you cook on a griddle?

Important Deadline: Meal Cards

• Teachers of Record must pick up their meal cards in Morrison Hall 200 before 5 Oct.
• Do not miss this deadline, or you will have to pay to eat cafeteria food with freshmen.

• If you bothered or bother to write a dissertation or thesis, you may want to format it correctly. A workshop is being held in your honor Tues., 25 Sep., 3:30-5pm, in Morrison Hall 120. The workshop will be repeated on Wed., 3 Oct., same time and place.
