Because these are federal dollars, we temporarily suspended payment, because the office was not producing. After two suspensions, they continued to not meet requirements, so we permanently withdrew funding.

There's a lot of opportunity in your county. I would love to see an office here and have volunteers here ... a few hours a week or every other week. That's something I think could really help this county.

With that termination of funding, (the council) made a decision to first decrease her hours to 10 per week. In the next meeting, that I did not attend, they determined that she would no longer serve as director.

Office hours can be completed from the time the senate meeting ends on Wednesday nights until 2 p.m. of that next Wednesday.

Everybody realizes the opportunity we have to have a big year next year. There's some buzz around campus.

I shall know by the gleam and glitter
Of the golden chain you wear,
By your heart's calm strength in loving,
Of the fire you have had to bear.
Beat on, true heart, forever;
Shine bright, strong golden chain;
And bless the cleansing fire
And the furnace of living pain!
