Judd Nelson, who many may know from ’80s classics such as The Breakfast Club or St. Elmo's Fire, is apparently cast in the film. So set stalking is slightly more acceptable this time around — 10 points to whoever blasts “Don't You” from a boombox.
The new bus stops include 44 Downtown and 84 VCC-Clark Station, and can take you on the express downtown and to Commercial Drive, respectively. This change will make the bus loop on Wesbrook Mall a little less hectic.
The AMS's bubble tea shop naming contest finished on June 28 and it's anyone's game to win. People were creative and clever, so naturally we combed through the submissions and came up with a list of the greatest hits.

On Wednesdays, the farm journeys to the heart of campus and sets up vendor-style right outside the bookstore. Yesterday, they had a quaint little set up with radishes, strawberries, parsley, thyme and spinach to name just a few.
