After 100 years of Girl Scouting, the cookie mission remains the same: When you buy them, the girls decide where the money goes.

Beginning Friday, Jan. 13, girls in northwest Ohio will begin taking Girl Scout cookie orders. All sale proceeds stay in the community, and for a second year, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio will be offering premium selection of the best-selling cookies of all time.

Research shows that nearly all Girl Scout cookie customers have a favorite among these best sellers: Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils and Do-Si-Dos.

Around eighty students came together with our teachers and admin staff for our Christmas Party. It was a very special day and we had a delicious Christmas buffet lunch prepared by our wonderful Juice Bar staff Tracey and Sarah. The meal was followed by a live acoustic set by Jose Allister, two of our students.

We would like to thank everyone who came along and we look forward to seeing you back in the new year! Have a very merry Christmas!

ESCANABA — Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease is a long title for what most people refer to as Kennel Cough.

This upper respiratory infection is similar to the human cold.

There’re several different organisms that can cause it, and it’s generally airborne.

Some of the symptoms of Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease are coughing, fever, and sudden lack of energy.

Three month old Black Lab mix, Charlie, is recovering from a bit of a respiratory infection.

“I think it’s real important,” said Charlie’s owner, Holly Johnson. “It’s important we take him to the vet, especially since we really don’t know much about Charlie or where he came from since he was from a local rescue. So we just want

I am pleased to introduce the final guest blogger of the semester. Maggie Lally attended the graduate conference in Tennessee.

In September, I received a grant from the Graduate Student Association to travel to Middle Tennessee State University’s English Graduate Student Organization’s annual conference. My purpose in going was two-fold: first, I went for the experience of presenting my ideas in front of an audience and second, for our organization, as we’re trying to expand our program research symposium into a regional conference and I, as chair of that committee, wanted to see how another school set up their graduate conference. I learned a lot from this conference and since this is information that could be valuable to other organizations, I wanted to pass it on, with a few changes that I think would better serve College of Charleston programs, since our school is much smaller than MTSU.

The first thing that I really liked was that the English Graduate Student Organization had several emails for the conference as well as a webpage. As a s
