NCAA policies in effect for Saturday's game
The play-off game between the Alfred Saxons and the Albright College Lions, scheduled for noon Saturday at Merrill Field, is being run in accordance with National Collegiate Athletic Association policies, one of which limits the number of “free” passes the University is permitted to honor. For this game, and for any other NCAA events, we are unable to grant free admission to retirees, employees or others who may have been admitted without charge to home games in the past. Tickets will be available at the gate the day of the game. Cost is $8 for adults, $4 for students with valid AU ID as well as for children.

Can You Donate to Save an Animal?
On Thursday, December 3rd, Pet Pals will be having a Penny Social to raise funds for animals who can't help themselves. This request is for new or very gently used items that you would be willing to donate to the auction. Since the auction is scheduled before the holiday break, we are hoping to receive quality items that would be a great gift for the winner to give someone on their list! The items need not be animal related or Holiday related. How about a book that everyone wants to read? Maybe some wrapping paper, gift tags, and bows? A game that you know a child would love? These are the type of things we are looking for. Donations will be accepted at the Center for Student Involvement on the 2nd floor of the Powell Campus Center until Wednesday, November 25th. Please consider donating something to make this event a huge success. Save the Date for the Penny Social!!Thursday, December 3rd, from 4:30 - 7 pm in the Knight Club.

Helpdesk Tip Of The Week

Microsoft Word 2003

Create Blank Lines in Lists

SUMMARY: Add white space to your Word 2003 lists, making them more readable.

Are you in the middle of writing a numbered or bulleted list and want to insert a blank line to make the list more readable? If you press ENTER, you just add another list item. If you press ENTER twice, your cursor will move out of the list, which is not what you want.

Instead, while you are in the middle of typing a list, press SHIFT-ENTER and your cursor will stay in the list and move down a line without inserting another bullet or number. Press ENTER and a new bullet or number will form. This can be useful in case your lists contain items several sentences long, as blank lines between items may make your lists more readable.
