Dan Cooney Campus Editor

John Carroll University has already moved once and changed its address – from ’s west side to Univer- sity Heights in 1935. Today, in 2011, the University is again changing its address, but it isn’t moving this time. According to an email sent by University President the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. to faculty, staff, administrators and students on Aug. 19, North Park Boulevard will be renamed John Carroll Boulevard. University Heights City Council Photo by Bridget Beirne unanimously approved the name change at a special meeting it held that Friday morning.

Can you find parking at JCU? On this day in history...... on 9-08-1974

Start

Parking!

Tips for incoming jcu freshmen:

1. Get used to schott dining hall pizza and chicken sandwiches. you will be eating them ... forever.

2. don’t wear north face gear because it’s cool. wear it because it’s cold outside and it’s the warmest thing you own.

3. teachers have facebooks now, too, so think before you post a “zomg i lyke hate my physics class lulz” status.

4. “Yo, i be there in five minutes” in cabbie-d- speak roughly translates to “three hours,” so plan accordingly. Welcome Class of 2015! You know you should join

Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com Sept. 8, 2011 Editorial The Bohannon Center renovation project The demolition of the Bohannon Center and the renova- tion project taking its place began this summer. The benefits of the finished project will outweigh the temporary inconveniences it currently poses for the JCU community. When the renovation project has been completed, there will be more parking spaces available. This will ease the congestion caused by the removal of the Temporary Lot. The finished project will make the JCU campus look better. The natural turf surface will offer a place for sports teams to practice, as well as useful space for the many activities that take place on campus. Though these aspects will be beneficial when the project is finished, the construction poses temporary disruptions. The heavy machinery is noisy and interrupts classes, especially those facing the demolition site. The destruction, though necessary, is an eyesore for the University. The absence of the sidewalk from the Boler School of Business to Dolan Science Center increases travel time for students and faculty walking across campus. After far too much deliberation, Bohannon has finally Cartoon by Emily Day been torn down. The noise, dirt mountains, and wasteland that is where Bohannon and the Hamlin Quad once were, NOTABLE QUOTABLE are ugly and make things more difficult. Soon there will be a brand-new parking lot and beautiful, fresh fields for teams to practice on. These temporary hassels will soon make way for tranquility and contentment across the campus. “We were nervous but it’s our duty to Hallelujah! deal with a threat to the villagers ... When
