Frankly Speaking 11-16-05
Frank Stranzl First off, congratulations to Matt Johnsrud, who qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships by finishing 17th at the West Regional meet over the weekend.

Alternative transportation solves parking issue
Tyler Middlestadt Unless you arrive on campus before 7:30 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m., chances are it’s going to be tough to find parking.
