Those in attendance included different faiths and denominations, so much so that the audience outgrew the seating, and some were forced to stand in the back. Roughly 250 people attended. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1897It was hot outside the night of April 3, but the real heat was inside. Exotic sounds and foot tapping beats could be heard yards away from the Guerrieri Center.

Contrary to popular belief that one has to be a political science major to be "pre-law," many students from other majors, from biology to communication arts, can apply to law school; this is one of the important points that Dr. Roberta Adams, Salisbury’s pre-law advisor, stressed. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1902Last Saturday, the No. 18-ranked Sea Gulls hosted CAC foe Mary Washington in a double header.

Maryland State Treasurer Nancy Kopp has realized this. At a lunch meeting with some of SU’s executive, academic and student leaders, Kopp talked about some of these changes, then took a tour and saw some of the physical changes like the TETC. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1892The Noland Corporation is relocating and so are Salisbury University’s maintenance facilities.The plumbing supply company recently advertised for sale its South Division Street property, which borders the University. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1888Jon League, a driver for SafeRide, is pulled over by Salisbury Police while on Onley Road headed towards the New Zoo.

At SU, it is the title of the new, innovative Electronic Gallery exhibit. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1877On Thursday, April 9, Career Services will be presenting its very first business professional "Dress for Success" fashion show to exhibit proper business wear from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Wicomico Room located in the Guerrieri Center.

My concern is that she feels little remorse for her actions. She told me that she doesn’t think her cheating was a big deal because she "was just drunk." I don’t know if I can ever feel the same way about her. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1881The Princess Anne chapter of Links Inc. honored the office and staff of SU’s Multicultural Student Services at their 40th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, March 14 at the Richard Henson Center in Princess Anne, Md.

Salisbury University: it is time for SU Idol. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1878Growing up is something we often look forward to our entire childhoods. We used to dream of being princesses, astronauts and movie stars and letting nothing get in our way. The sky was the limit to what we could do. Somewhere, between puberty and life, reality happened and yet we were still optimistic about our futures post-high school. For some, it would be the work force, the military, parenthood and/or college. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1879Breakfast doesn’t need to be elaborate, but it does need to be consistent of carbohydrates, protein, fiber and possibly dairy to provide your body and brain with sufficient fuel to get you through the day. Oatmeal and berries is one of my favorite combinations to start the morning. Oats are rich in antioxidants called phenols, and packed with fiber. Also, the phenols in oats are more effective in combination with Vitamin C, which is a main staple in strawberries (one cup provides http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1903The Salisbury softball team has gone 17-4 this season and 4-0 in the Capital Athletic Conference.

The win stretched Salisbury’s win streak to seven in a row. In their past four games, Salisbury has not lost a match, giving them a perfect 36-0 record. Salisbury has shut out five teams and they have yet to get shutout themselves. Winning in such a controlling manner is what gave Salisbury (10-5, 3-1) their number seven ranking in the http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1905Last Saturday, the Salisbury University men’s and women’s track and field teams competed in the Penn Invitational at Franklin Field, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown provided entertainment by appropriating one trillion dollars for the IMF and World Bank, declaring a "new world order is emerging." Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (not to be confused with KGB operative and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin) referred to President Obama as his "new comrade." http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1870With increasing numbers of people demanding health care, it will only be a matter of time until the old method of medical paperwork is pushed aside all together. The new method of electronic health records will dominate the modernized health care system within the next three years because it allows for easy exchange of clinical data between hospitals, doctors and other forms of medical care. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1872Although this is an unacceptable situation I think it is interesting and should be investigated. My friends and I who are black have gone to Brew River nearly every weekend since the semester began. We went to Brew River this weekend and they did not let my friends and me enter into the bar. http://www.salisbury.com/suflyer/story.asp?sid=1868Federal Judge Edward Korman has ruled that 17-year-olds should be able to get the morning-after pill without a prescription, changing the previous Food and Drug Administration’s rule of the pill being available to women 18 and older and only by purchase from a pharmacy counter.
