Urgent: Have You Seen This Cube?


After less than a week in it's new home, our Rubik's Cube is gone! I'm certain he has innocently wandered away and is right now desperately trying to find his way home. We are, of course, worried sick for his safety!

If you find him, perhaps having mistakenly hitched a ride in your backpack or jacket, please return him to his loving home. We promise not to punish him for his misadventures, only welcome him back with open arms.

Student Lounge: New and Improved!

If you need a break from the finals grind, stop by the Eckles Student Lounge. In addition to the FREE COFFEE and SNACKS (yes...snacks!) we've added some new items solely for your amusement.

Need to de-stress? Play with the new Legos, hit the pucnhing bag, solve the Rubik's Cube or put together a puzzle with a few friends. We've also got new books in there including some crossword puzzle and sudoku books (no need to feel naughty - you can write in them).

It's so much fun in there you won't want to leave. But you'll have to. It's finals, you know.
