Go Beavs

Still going for national championship

I'd like to give a special shout out to Paul Ortiz and the rest of the Beavers team for the single best baseball game I've ever seen! A grand slam in the eighth inning, which keeps us in the running for the national championship - that was so cool! Give them some front page, if you could!

I am writing to complain about an interruption of my privacy.

Recently I sat down to watch "Saturday Night Live." I figured that after a long day of studying I might be able to lay back on my couch and laugh a little bit.

As the Olympic College Facilities Master Plan begins to unfold, the next step in the process will be the groundbreaking of the new Humanities Building on Thursday.

According to Dr. Barbara Martin, vice president of Administration, after the groundbreaking ceremony the construction of the new building should only take about 17 months with a projected completion of January 2010.

The building itself, designed by Yost Grube Hall Architecture, has a base construction cost of $20.5 million, and is 80,000 square feet. It will not only house 22 classrooms and a lecture hall, but will also centralize student services, having most of the student entry and advisory center on its first two floors, including records and registrations, admissions, financial aid, the SEAC, and much more.

Part-time faculty and their supporters gave the Olympic College Board of Trustees perhaps more than they bargained for during the April 22 board meeting on the Poulsbo campus.
