With dozens of students groups trying each week to advertise a wide variety of events, it's time for the College to re-evaluate their postering policies. First, allow posters to be hung on the green posts and strings roping off the Yard. Unsightly to begin with and intended only to keep students off the preserved-for-Commencement grass, these posts would serve a more significant function if used for legitimate postering.

Located near Springerville (about four hours east of Phoenix), the prehistoric site was a pottery-manufacturing center occupied by the Anasazi and Mogollon Indians until it was abandoned some 600 years ago. These days the site offers hands-on excavation programs that last from one day to one week (children must be at least nine years of age). Mornings are spent digging with trained archaeologists; afternoons include hikes to nearby petroglyphs (ancient rock drawings...
