As a worker, I was responsible for moving that box frame from the give it up pod. We have the full-size mattress that goes to the set, and the box frame is useless without it, as is the mattress. PLEASE, if you know who took it, took it yourself call 561-212-6729 to arrange to give it back…no judgement…no trouble…we just need it back! You are not supposed to take things from the give it up pods, unless you are a worker because mostly all is being donated to charity. Thank you! Lysa Lysa T.

Flanagan (kgf1@williams.edu) Wed, 15 May 2013 18:58:00 -0400 http://wso.williams.edu/announce/show/31190 The Massachusetts Senate Special Election is approaching fast! Assuming you will not be here on the day of the election (June 25th) or even if you will, you can vote absentee. To do so, you should go to this link and print out the absentee ballot application or from the mailbox outside of Professor Mahon's office (Schapiro 337). Then you can bring it to the Town Hall or just give it to me because I'll be heading over there anyway. If you leave campus without filling out the application, you can still fill it out and mail it in so there's no excuse! You can also vote early before you leave campus if you fill out the absentee application before you leave! All you have to do is fill out an absentee application and then on May 17th, go to the Town Hall and fill out the ballot. You don't need to mail anything in! Town Hall is across the street from Greylock Quad so it's very close by. It is so, so, so easy and it does matter so please, folks, take a minute to vote. You can print your own absentee ballot application here: http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleifv/howabs.htm Brian W.

It’s no fun for the tutor when 5 students come in at once, so please use the google document to make an appointment. There are only 30 minute slots available today. You may sign up for two 30 minute slots, if you want. Time slots that remain open can be considered “walk-in” hours. During “walk-in” hours the tutor will see students on a first-come, first-serve basis (until the time of the next scheduled appointment). Also NO walk-ins allowed after 11pm. Check back (on the google doc) later tonight to see if slots are added for after 12am. For more frequent updates see our fb page.

Zentil (jjz2@williams.edu) Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:20:00 -0500 http://wso.williams.edu/announce/show/28542 Are you a) on campus for spring and summer ‘13 and b) a responsible adult capable of not breaking things? I’m going abroad and I want to stash my bike with someone so I don’t need to haul it to storage in the next town over. You’d be welcome to use my bike (red Giant mountain bike, on the small side but very functional) during the spring and summer, and in fact, it’d be probably be good if you did, to decrease the chance that security confiscates it! And if you’re off campus for a few weeks at the beginning/end of summer, it’s no big deal—security just wants to know that someone is “in charge” of my bike so they don’t clip it. And of course, you should not let it get stolen, periodically put air in the tires, etc. Email me if you’re interested! Maia R.
