BY KATIE WEITKAMP Managing editor
For about four or five years Lee Van Orsdel. dean of libraries, has been trying to get students to use the library more. Now she hopes her dream will come true in the form of a cafe. "In the old days you had to come to the library, and people avoided it at all costs if they could because, you know, you have to be quiet and you could- n't have a candy bar or some- thing to drink," Van Orsdel said. Van Orsdel. from previous positions, brought the idea of the cafe with her. In her previ- ous jobs she has seen an ease on restrictions of food and drink to help entkre more students to use the libraries. She wanted a visually appeal- ing space where students could "meet, interact and flirt." Also. Van Orsdel hopes stu- dents will take use of the library's journals and newspa- ilitary pers that will be placed in the new cafe. Work began this week on the cafe in the former computer lab area.

The memorial will be located in the Powell Plaza near the Meditation Chapel. The memorial was planned in September of 2003. and the ground-breaking was initially planned for November of that year. The memorial will include a row of flagpoles flying the U.S., Prisoner of War and five service flags. Also, five service seals will be engraved in black granite and attached to an existing wall near the chapel. A granite slate will contain the names and members of Eastern's community whose deaths were service related. A brick-paver campaign was started to raise money for the memorial. The bricks are sold with a donor's designated inscription. Those bricks will be placed at the base of the flagpoles.

You're about to give a speech in front of the entire class, your heart is in overdrive and you wonder if the person sitting next to you can hear it. You imagine yourself in the front of the room vulnerable to audience criticism, much like the classic dream of being naked while giving a speech to the class. A thousand scenarios run through your head: What if I panic and forget all of the words? What if I stutter and the guy in the back starts laughing? Wfiat if I bore everyone and the class turns into an uncontrollable yawning session? I should just get up and walk out right now. I'd rather die than give this speech.
