Rains cause
law school to flood
Heavy rains caused considerable
damage to the Knight Law Center's
main floor Saturday.
According to an e-mail from the
law school's Assistant Dean for Fi
nance & Operations Jamie Moffitt, the
"intense rain combined with some
dogged drains in the east parking lots,
funneled a tremendous amount of
water down the grassy hill, through
our courtyard, and into the law build
ing." The flood primarily affected the
Wayne Morse Commons area and
some hallways.
Moffitt said classrooms were not
significantly affected, and the exam
schedule for next week will remain
the same. The Wayne Morse Com
mons area was roped off, and facili
ties' staff and DPS began cleaning up
the area.

Students in journalism Professor
Dan Miller's documentary workshop
class created the film on Foster's life in
collaboration with the art depart
ment. Former students Cree Riggs and

art professor emeritus Ken O'Connell,
directed the film.
The film will be screened at 8 p.m.

art department's animation program,
