- February 1, 2006 - Students hit the slopes in Indiana The Student Activities Council (SAC) provided another enjoyable social program last Saturday packing 150 of Xavier’s snow-loving students onto buses and heading for the slopes in Lawrenceburg, Ind. For $20, each person on the bus was given a free lesson and a pair of skis (or snowboard) that would last them until 3 a.m. Amid the stories of slips and slides, the overall impression seems to be that the trip was a success.

McGrath focuses on women’s health with free clinic The McGrath Health and Counseling Center sponsored a women’s health clinic on Tuesday. The clinic was free of charge to Xavier’s female students. The goal of the clinic was to provide a relaxed atmosphere for Xavier’s women who might have questions about their health or who feel that they need medical attention. If you’ve ever had to drive through the main gate at Xavier University, then you’ve probably talked to Duke Rose. He has been handing out visitor parking passes at the gate since 1974. But that isn’t the only thing Duke’s done around Xavier in his 32 years here. "I’ve worked on the grounds crew, driven trucks, and helped out different departments during the summer. When school’s in, I work the gate," Duke said. |
