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.

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.
