ps- Bring your baggage.

Potter Home this Saturday

Meet in the lobby at 9:30am Saturday to go to the Potter Childrens' Home Fall Festival. You can go to volunteer, or just to hang out!

In October, we'll have a Halloween party and trick-or-treating here at Poland for the kids!

Be safe! Rape and sexual assault

Remember: First-year students during the first few months of school are at the highest risk. Here are a few numbers:

• Women ages 16-24 are assaulted four times as much as other ages.
• Of college students who survive sexual assault, almost 90% knew their attacker beforehand.
• 1 in every 3 women will have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. (1 in 6 for men).
• Alcohol and other drugs are commonly involved in rape and assaults.

Use the escort service at night: 745-2548
For sexual assault, please contact Elizabeth.Mohon@wku.edu (745-3159), WKU PD (5-2548), or your RA and Hall Directors.

Block Party

It was good for MasterPlan... It'll be good again, with T Gray on the laptop and your moves on the sidewalk. That's right, it's the Block Party remix this Monday at 8:30 in the PM.

Roooom Changes!

• Room changes will begin to be announced Thursday (tomorrow), and will continue until Sept. 23. Whether you put in a request at Poland or another hall, be patient if you don't hear back on the first day!
• Whichever hall you applied to, the instructions will come with your approval form in your Poland mailbox.
• If you're roommate is moving out, and there is now a space in your room, you will also receive a notice of your options.
• If you put in a request at Poland, and want to follow up on it, contact Lindsey at lindsey.gilmore@wku.edu or catch her in her office (next to the study room)
• All moves must be complete by Sunday night, Sept. 23. A consolidation meeting (for those still without roommates and not paying for a private room) will be held on Tuesday, 9/25, at 9:09pm in the HP study room.

Do that laundry!

One of the great things about those front loaders is that they need a lot LESS soap! Use about 1/4 cup instead of whatever you're used to using. The way they spin, they agitate the soap much more than an old-school washer.

Use a full cup of detergent and it will take a long time to get the soap suds out of your clothes! (It will rinse and spin forreeeever.)
