for suggestions from BOTH the faculty and the student body. We are
looking for fun, exciting and creative (yet appropriate!) names and

the counselors office. Faculty, please feel free to e-mail your suggestions
if you wish. For those of you that are interested, we are taking suggestions
for the spill out area as well. All suggestions must be in by Friday
September 12.
