Letter to the editor: Response to March 13’s “It’s Time to Scrap Scrappy”
Dear Editor: Every few years, there is a groundswell movement at
KSU to ditch the owl. I’ve seen this happen periodically since my
arrival in 1978 and there are indications that murmurings for change
can be heard again. I wrote a letter to the Sentinel on the same

Students camp out in hopes of keeping a university dorm
KSU is making the transition from a commuter school to a more
traditional, residential university; however, for some students it is
coming with a price. Any students, also known as “forced out transfers,” currently
living in the University Village and in KSU Place buildings E, 300 and
400 must find a new residence for the following semester. However,
there are not many places to choose from for those students wanting to
stay on campus. KSU’s dormitories consist of KSU Place, University Place, and
University Village; which will soon be strictly for incoming freshmen.
The “forced out transfers” received an email notifying them to reserve
a new room at KSU Place or University Place on Monday, March 26 at 10

Health Beat: Lack of sleep catches up with students
Students, adults and children have come to know the importance of a
good night’s sleep. For most of our lives, we have heard the rule of
getting eight hours of sleep a night to feel healthy. What most of us
don’t realize is how dangerous a lack of sleep can be to our bodies and
minds. Students have classes, jobs, families, sports and of course, a
social life. All of these activities leave sleep on the bottom of the
list for students.
