Still Life

With four guide ropes attached to it, the east-side clock face is raised into position. While it didn't seem that windy on the ground on Saturday, Jan. 28, winds higher up were strong, requiring extra guidance to bring the clock face safely to the Old Main bell tower.

Ben White of New Vibrations Audio and Video works on a ledge of the Old Main bell tower, to remove the speakers from the old chime system. The company installed a new carillon system today (Jan. 27) that will play a digital recording made of the original Old Main bell that now sits adjacent to Old Main and other bells of comparable sizes.

Housing request process begins Nov. 16

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Eligible students who wish to live on campus during the 2010-11 school year must submit a housing contract request through the eLiving Housing Contract System. The eLiving contract request process will take place between noon on Nov. 16 and noon on Jan. 21, 2010.

Students who are considering a change of campus are advised to submit two contract requests -- one for the campus they plan to attend and one for their current campus. If the student is offered a housing contract for one or both campuses, he or she should accept both offers, even if the change of campus has not yet been approved. Students are responsible for canceling the housing contract for the campus they will not be attending by contacting Housing and Food Services once their change of campus has been finalized. There is no penalty for canceling the contract with the campus the student will not attend.

On-campus housing is not guaranteed.

More information on the eLiving Housing Contract System and the Contract Request process is available at the eLiving Web site at http://www.eliving.psu.edu/ online.
