Coop Picks Wrong Date for Columbus

Although many wishful thinkers would have liked to have it the other way, Columbus Day will be observed this year on Oct. 12, the day Christopher Columbus supposedly discovered America. The Coop, looking forward to a big weekend, inadvertently said that it would be observed on Monday the 10th in the handbook it publishes yearly.

Many faculty members, as well as students, taking the Coop literally, had been preparing for a three-day weekend, but Sargent Kennedy's office today brought them up to date historically.
