Haas Hall Council will host the third annual Haas Hall
Honey Hunt tonight at 7 in the MSC Flagroom to raise
money for the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Valerie Long, treasurer for Haas Hall Council and
a sophomore accounting major, said the purpose of
the Honey Hunt is community service.
“We are doing this for Habitat for Humanity,” she
said. “Last year we had 15 guys involved and raised
over $530.”
Long said 18 men are expected to auction items at
tonight’s event.
“We’ve got two of the yell leaders, one of the quarter
backs, Rich Coady, Ja’mar Toombs, Chris Cole and the
MSC President [Will Hurd], to name a few,” she said.
Long said the participants are not going to be auc
tioned, only items donated by them.
“It’s not the guys that get auctioned off,” she said.
“We auction stuff they donate, like old footballs, jer
seys, teddy bears and sometimes they will donate din
ner for the buyer and a friend.”
Long said council members have worked on the
event for the past two months, but concentrated ef
fort has been during the last two weeks.
“We have had meetings every night for the past two
weeks trying to make sure everything will go smoothly,”
she said.
Karisha Hearns and Christina Oheari, members of
Haas Hall Council, will emcee the event.

Students planning to register for CHEM
107, Chemistry for Engineers, for the spring
semester will have an opportunity to take
the course via live television broadcasts.
Dr. Joseph Newton, executive associ
ate dean for the College of Science, said
there had been discussions about ways of
incorporating technology into the class
room. Newton said the decision was made
in the summer to start a television course
that would target a large audience.
“We always had plans to do this, but
one of the main forces that prompted us
to move up the implementation of this
program to an earlier date was the huge
increase in the number of freshmen that
enrolled this fall,” he said. “We had a
1,000 more freshman than we expected
come on board this fall,” Newton said.
The course will be broadcast live during
a regular class time slot of 10:20 to 11:10
a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Dr. Larry Brown, senior lecturer in the
chemistry department, will teach the
course. Brown said the broadcast of the
course will benefit students in many ways.
“First of all, this helps give students
more flexibility in their scheduling plans
since they don’t actually have to
able in that time slot,” he said.
Brown said students will hii
benefit of being able to recordk
and play them back later if they:
grasp concepts the first time at
“This way I will be availableondf
in a way,” he said.
Brown said students who wa j
broadcast will have the chance toptl
and e-mail questions they have. Broil
students will also have a chancetol
to come and visit the television I
where the lectures are taking place f
“We will have space to accomrl
approximately 20 students eachtirl
can come and see what the studioil
Brown said. “This will also helpmel

exam times are scheduled for WedJ
nights. Brown said this course anc|
courses which will follow will probai
only benefit students, but will benet

“This course will help me have
more free time, so I can be in the
more during the day and more as
