Building a Dedicated History
Saint Edward Hall, which is currently the main office space for many faculty and staff members, began its construction in 1926. However, at this time, the hall was not meant to be the office space that it is today; rather, it was to be designed as a dormitory – the first ever at the school – for students. It was completed by the Christmas of that year and cost around $250,000 to complete. Each of the offices used to be living spaces for students, and many offices were once used for other purposes; for example, one office may have been used as a shower, and another as a reception room. A library was also once stationed at what is now known as Trane Stop. In 1940, loudspeakers were placed above the building and were used to broadcast the new campus radio station WLEO.The first time you ever set foot on the University’s main campus, you were probably awestruck by the overall beauty of it; behind all of this, however, the history of the campus remained a mystery to you, the answers lying in wait in the buildings that populate the campus. What did all of these buildings represent? Where did they come from? This article takes a look at several buildings currently and previously on campus and explores some of their origins and histories.

Welcome to the Maze: Maze Runner Review
The movie starts with a boy named Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) waking up in a metal cage. The cage lifts him into a grassy area, called the Glade, where he is greeted by a large group of boys who live there because they are trapped. Surrounding them is a deadly maze, filled with monsters called Grievers. Nobody except a select few called runners are allowed into the Maze for any reason. Life goes on in the Glade just fine until one of the boys tragically dies in the Maze. Alby (Aml Ameen), the group’s leader, goes into the Maze to find any sign of him, and he and Minho (Ki Hong Lee), the head runner, don’t make it back before nightfall. Just as the gate is about to close, Thomas runs in and soon discovers the horrors of the Maze firsthand.
