Ode to Technology
From Poop U's plans for the Library...What’s going to be in the basement of Bostock once Technical Services moves to the Smith Bldg.?
The lower floor one of Perkins and Bostock will include assignable class space, study rooms, and a technology service point. OIT, Arts and Sciences technology services, and Library technology services will develop the technology service point as a full-service desk. There will be some assignable class space; however, the bursar will not reserve space for a class for an entire semester, but for portions of the term when the array of technologies in the classrooms will be put to good use. Open seating areas of the concourse will have a variety of technologies for student use; we’re still developing recommendations for the technology, although we anticipate including multi-media capabilities. Although we do not expect to develop a central control room to provide support (as seen at the Friday Center), we are trying to figure a way to allow communication with a service point if someone, particularly a class, has technology problems.
So there'll be some technology, right?
"Making a Difference"
**Sent to everyone Poopkins Building & Branches**
Poop University recently unveiled its new strategic plan for the next five to eight years, "Making a Difference." Because Poop employees will play a significant role in helping achieve the plan's ambitious goals, it will be important for all employees to understand the new plan and how they can contribute to its success.
The strategic plan will be the topic during "Primetime," a new quarterly forum for all employees on campus. Provost Short Round will discuss the plan, answer questions and explain what "Making a Difference" means for employees on Thursday, Nov. 16, at noon in the Poop Center's Fecal Film Theater.
Please publicize this event with employees and encourage them to attend. If necessary, please be flexible with staffing to allow department members to participate. Refreshments will be served, and each attendee will be entered in a raffle for a free video iPod.

From Poop Univ. Library
from the 4th floor- two spottings of poop at the PU Library (pun intended)
Piles of actual cataloged books- I don't think it would say "third row, second box from the bottom" in the catalog, so happy hunting!
So I think you can guess Poop U. is in the South.
More from the crime log
(I like to think this was all involving the same group of people- some huge party in a parking lot with tons of free snacks, monkeys and drugs. One can only hope.)

From Working at Poop newsletter
"As a Poop staff member, I certainly see the Plaza as a resource for people working at Poop. There are not many places on campus where you can sit at a table in the open air and work or meet with colleaguesm, or just relax and eat lunch."
"Want to surf the Web? There's wireless access. Want to hear live music? Take a seat in the grass. Want to sit under a shade tree. Pick from 13."
also note the stats touted...
13,100 linear feet of Brazilian hardwood for walkway
1,130 linear feet of stainless steal handrail.
1,280 square feet of Fescue sod.
