During the first week of the semester, when class schedules readjust and student organizations choose new leaders, some of our "extras" might change. But chances are good that our old friends--the Unit Test Grader, The Crimson's Reader Representative, the Gilbert & Sullivan Girl, the Random Law Student--will still be around. (They usually are.)
